House Quits Bunching Bills.

Jefferson City-The attempt to ex.
pedite the business Of the house by
passing bills In groups OF five again
failed Monday afternoon when objec-
tons were raised to the measures in
the first batch ~calendared for final dis.
position.
A Ruthless effort was made to con-
vince the DIRECTORS that separate &C.
ton on each bill would result In many
measures being ignored In the few re.
manning days Of the session. A mo-
ton then carried to dispense with the
calendar committee, which has sought
to throw aside bills without merit and
other wise to rush the work of the
house.
Unless another attempt Is made to
bunch the bills, the session Is certain
to end with numbers Of them 'in the
air"
One Of the bills passed, introduced
by Mr.. DrOste, Of st. Louis, at the in
stance Of the St, Louis Bar associa.
tion, Is expected TO aid the supreme
and appellate courts in clearing their
overcrOwded dockcts. 1t provides
that the appeals courts shall disre.
gard errors IN or defects OF any de-
cisions or actions Of the trial court
which do not materially prejudice the
substantial rights of the appellant or
plaintiff in error.

stitutional amendment authorizing
the school boards Of the large cities
OF the state to pension sup%erannuated
teachers failed TO pass In the house,
The vote was CT for and SO against,

v. 9. SUPREME COURT uPHoLps
LAW LIMITING RAILROADS TO
TRANSPORTATION BUSINESS.
BLOW TO ANTHRACITE ROADS
Bitter Flight, Headed by "Divine
Right" eaer, Has Been Waged In
courts-Former Decision
Reversed.

Washington.-The United States gu.
preme court Monday afternoon de.
clared constitutional the commodities
clause Of the Hepburn rate law, which
limits transportation companies to
that business exclusively.
The decision reevrses the United
States circuit court at Philadelphia,
which held the law unconstitutional.
Railroads which are interested in the
production Of coal-particularly the
anthracite roads-are hard hit. They
now will have to dispose Of their mine
holdings.
Origin Of the Law.
The commodities clause Of the Hep.
burn rate act was enacted after the
great anthracite strike, in which
Judge George Gray Of Delaware was
an arbitrator. 1t was brought to light
that many of the large coal mines
were owned by the railroads them.
selves and operated for the advantage
OF the roads. Competition was there.
by crushed out in certain localities,
the railroads charging Independent OPP
orators such rates as to prevent the
Independents from competing.
1t vas charged, too. that while coal
mined by companies affiliated with the
roads found prompt shipment, coal
mined by independents frequently was
held up in transit for months.
Fight by Roads.
After this act went into effect, the
railroads affected began their protests
for the "divine right" The law was
attacked as wrong in principle and
confscatOry. President Baer Of the
Reading railroad led this agitation.
With the Erie he instituted suit at
lacking the constitutionality Of the
commodities clause. 1t was set forth
that the act violated the constitution
with regards to property rights.
The clause reads:
From and after May /, 1908. 1t
shall be unlawful for any railroad
company to transport from any state,
territory or the District Of Columbia
to any other state, territory or to any
foreign country any article or commod-
ity other than timber and the manu-.
featured products thereof, manufac-
tured. mined or produced by 1t or
under it's authority, or which may.have
been In whole or in part, or In which
1t may have any interest direct or in.

tiles as may be necessary or intend.
ed for its use in the conduct Of its
business of common carrier"
A fine not to exceed $4,000 for each
