APPEAL BOND IN
MISSOURI CASE
Standard Oil Subsidiary Com
panieS Go to Court of
Last Resort.

Jefferson City, Mo-, March 10.-An ap-
peal bond of s1o0,OO0 will be the basis on
which a writ of error for an appeal to
the supreme court of the United States
Will be granted to the Standard Oil COM
pany of Indiana. and the Republic Oil
company of Ohio, according to action
taken by the supreme court of Missouri
today
The appeal acts as a stay of execution
on the Judgment announced by the court
yesterday by which the custer DEGREES
against the companies were affirmed.
bOth the Indiana and Republic compan-
les Will have the right to continue bust
ness in the state pending a decision by
the federal tribunal
The prayer for writ of error was filed
by Frank Hagerman of Kansas City. He
declared that the big bond demanded by
the court viii be filed within a few DAYS
and that the perfection of the appeal will
follow shortly thereafter. The attitude of
the state toward the appeal was stated
by Attorney General Major, who said that
as soon as he receives proper notice that
the case has reached the supreme court in
aShlngton he Will enter a motion for
the dismissal of the writ of error on the
ground that no federal question is in
volved. He will urge that the Missouri
statutes upon which the custer decree
Is based are right and that they DO not
take private property without due process
OF law. This course is expected to place
the matter upon a square issue that will
determine the cunstitutiouality of the
antitrust laws of this state as well as
several others.

RECORD TUNNEL WORK
ON ST. PAUL EXTENSION

Franklin Wilcox, travelling representa-

TEN, with headquarters in Chicago, was a
visitor IN Salt Lake several hours yes

said:
Il am told that this tunnel is one of
the most remarkable in the world and
that its construction was marked by a
new record for quick work. The tunnel
was certainly bored through solid rock
at d remarkable speed and the engineers
on the works told me that time and
money had been saved by the adoption
of a system Of stint labor. Every man
engaged in the work was given a reason
able stint for each days work and was
paid double time for every particle of
work accomplished by him each day over
and above that stint. AS a result hardly
a labcrer on the tunnel drew less than
an average of IS or 81 per day, and In
some instances the wOrkmen made as
high as $40 per day They were allowed
to work as long hours as they desired
and to quit when their stints for each
day were finished, if they so desired.
Work on the track laying will be entirely
completed very soon now"
