Against Sentences I'm
posed on Labor Leaders,
Over 5000 Labor Union Men
In Parade in Boston.
Big Meeting in Faneuil Hall Fol.
lows, With Caustic Speeches.

Boston, March 14.-AS a demOnStra-
ton against the sentences of impriS-
onment imposed upon Samuel Comp
ers, John Mitchell ard Frank Morri-
son in the now prominent Bucks
Stove" case by Judge Daniel r. Wright
in the superior court of the District OF
Columbia more than 5000 members or
labor unions paraded through the
streets of this city today, the half
dozen distinct professions converging
upon F"neuil hall from all directions.
In that cdifice Il large crowd listened
to a history of the case while half a
score OF overflow meetings We're held
in the surrounding streets.
The Faneuil hall audience, among
whom were many women, heard Judge
Wright attacked sharply for his de
csior in the case, and while all lis
tened with much attention, efforts to
start an organized hiss at the judges
name met with little success At this
meeting Il resolution was drawn up in
which the courts We're alleged to be
biased and the laws directed at one
class only. Judge Wright was accused
OF using "intemperate and bitter Ian
guace to representatives of organized
labor" and it was said that he twas
not a fl person to handle the case"
Copies of the resolution We're sent to
President Taft Vice President Sher-
man and Speaker Cannon.
Charging that the sentence of the
three union leaders had been commu-
nicated to the newspapers one hour
before it was formally pronounced up
on them, Rev. Charles Mcfarland of
South Norwalk. ct, said the sentence
was one of the most wretched acts in
the drama Of justice"

In obedience to instructions from

unprecedented in this city that the
death of a man occupying Petrosinfs

 There has been marked discomfort among some Of the southern republic cans over the presidents decision to divide the census patronage in the solid south" Col. Cecil Lyon, repub- lican national committeeman came all the way from Texas to tell the presi- dent that he would rather have the state put in charge of one supervisor. a good republican of course, than have it divided into congressional dis tricts with democrats
 The states where supervisors arc H. vided equally between the two parties are Virginia. South Carolina. Georgia Florida. Alabama Mississippi, Ark ansas, Louisiana and Texas. Direct or Durand said he hoped to have the supervisors actively at work by the middle of october. He said many of the supervisors appointed by the president were. endorsed by business organizations in the communities in which they live. President Taft, it is said laid down the rulc that supcryis- DTS shall not be active partisans and that no attempts shall be made to build up political machines out of the census patronage.
 President Taft has appointed Chas. A. Overlook, of Douglas, Arizona. United States marshal for that terri tory. MT. Overlook succeeds Ben F. Daniels. a Rough Rider" appointed by President Roosevelt who has been made chief of police on the Indian reservation at Menominee, Wis.

Fort Williams. Ont. Aug. 13.-The presence of bayonets and the sight of men loading rifles with ball cartridges cowed the leaders of the Canadian Pacific dock strike today. Col.

AGAINST ARIz. & N. M. R. R.
Commission Will Ask for a 50 Per cent Reduction in Class Rates-An Interest ing Nebraska Railroad Commission Coincidence.

Complaint has been lodged with the Arizona railway commission against the Arizona X New Mexico railroad and connecting lines. because of ex- orbitant class rates between Fl Paso and Clifton and between Lordsburg and Clifton.
 The commission has taken the mat ter up and is now preparing a petition to the railroads to correct the situa- tiOn by a readjustment of rates. The commission will suggest the rates it deems fair which will be a reduction of approximately DO per cent from the average of the current rates. on some classes the reduction suggested is considerably more than that and on some classes the reduction will be considerably less. but the average will be- q the nCi-hborhood of 90 per cent.
 In connection with the activities of the Arizona commission it is interest inC to reproduce from the Traffic Bull letin of July r. published in Chicago. a telegram from Lincoln. Neb under date of July Is. The telegram an nnunces the preparation by the Ne braska commission Of a graduation table showing the relation between class rates. almost identical with that devised by M. O. Bicknell of the Ari- Zona commission. The process is the same though the rates are little low CT owing to conditions in Nebraska It is practically the same plan sug- gested by Mir Bicknell for interstate rates also. The feature of special i'm terest is that no line has had an ab- solute basis for graduating rates and feeling the desirability of such plan Mir Bickncn worked one out, as also has the Nebraska commission. the lat ter being given to the world on exact ly the same date the Arizona com mission filed it's petition with the rail roads. He had no Knowledge of what the Nebraska commission was doing until he read the telegram in the Traffic Bulletin, and SO far as he knows the Nebraska commission had no knowledge of what he was doing
 Following is that portion of the tel egram relating to the matter in ques- tion:
 Lincoln, Neb.. July Exchanging that the present class rates in effect on interstate traffic are unreasonable and excessive. the Nebraska state railroad commission has prepared new schedule of maximum class rates for state business and has issued gen eral order No 19. calling upon the railroads that would be most vitaIly affected by the proposed schedule to appear before it at various dates dur ing the next three months and show cause why the suggested rates should not be adopted
 Each rate in the proposed schedule bears a definite. fixed relation to every other rate. First class rates are treat ed as the unit rates: second class are & per cent of first class rates: third. seventy per cent; fourth fifty-five: fifth, forty. and the five 1ettered classes forty-five. thirty-five, thirty. twenty-five and twenty per cent of first class rates. respectively.
