1t looks as though the new en-
| ployers' liability law enacted by
| congress is doomed to follow its
predecessor to the unconstitutional
scrap heap or remain dead letter.
Ihe United States court in Connec-
ticut, in test case brought by the
New York, New Haven & Hartford
railway, has already intimated that
the law will not hold.
Now comes United States Judge
Maxey of Texas into a ruling, in a
case tried at Ell Paso, to the effect
that a railway employee who may
be injured can only bring action in
the district of the defendants legal
residence. Thus, if an employee is
manned in Texas, he must travel to
Maine to bring suit for damages If
the railway company is incorpor-
ated in the latter state.
Not one workman in a hundred,
II the Texas ruling stands, can af-
ford to spend the time and money
to cross the continent to begin &C.
ton for damages should he be in
jured in the performance of his
duties. Many labor men declare
that the avidity with which the cor
poration senators and congressman
pushed through the new employers
liability law after the old one was
declared unconstitutional was
pretty good proof that the states
men at Washington had an under
standing among themselves that
the measure would be knocked out
by the courts.
The cases just decided in Connec-
ticut and Texas will be appealed.
and it will probably be several
years before the United States SUI
pEeme court will finally pass upon
the constitutionality of the law.
Genuine heroism has just been
displayed by the women strikers in
the hat industry. Nearly six months
ago the women walked out with the
men when the manufacturers asso-
citation declared for the open shop.
There has been no break in the
ranks of the women, even though
the payment of strike benefits was
greatly curtailed owing to the lin
tied funds on hand.
A few days ago several organic
ations sent checks aggregating
$1,000 to the women's union (the
trimmers) at Newark, N. J. In
stead of paying the money to their
own members, the women turned
Fthe whole amount over to the gen
eral officers, saying, Give the
money to the men who have fami-
lies to support We will find odd
Jobs of work to do to support our
selves until this strike is won"
Something that was undreamed
of will occur in South America next
spring. On April 80, 1910, a great
conference will be held in Buenos
Ayres for the purpose of forming a
South American federation of la
Dor, to embrace all the workers of
Argentine, Brazil, Peru, Chill and
other countries. Delegates from
North America are invited to at
tend. One of the principal purposes

There is movement on foot to

by the workers that they are aver

tory of the industry, while the beef
barons are receiving the highest
prices since the stockyards were
established and the small fry were
driven out of business by the mo-

be any way in which the common
people can secure justice at this

1t was up to HIM to straighten out this
matter, as he had been charged with
the failure to carry out some Of DR..
Campbell's health orders, whereupon
there was some words between the two
and the first thing / knew they were

For a few minutes the mix.up
was lively the two alternating in get

them to desist and when that failed

them. That was my part IN the
affair, but it seems that one of the
school children who was passing the
door of the room when the superinten-
dent and DIR. Campbell were fighting

At meeting of the school board 1t
was decided that the case against DR..
Bracken would be dropped, but not
the one against DR.. Campbell.

PBOt': HUTCHINS' VERSION,

/. In discussing the matter Suporinten.
dent Hutchins gave the: following
version of the affair to a reporter Of
tho st. Cloud Journal Press:
The whole affair is the outcome of
controversy between the people and
DR.. Campbell. One of the teachers, q
Miss Lambert, was i'll with dlphtheria
at her home In R0yaltOn. Two weeks
later she returned to the school and
taught but a half day, when the
superintendent advised that she return
to her home until her cultures showed
no diptheria. The local health officer.
DR.. Campbell and DIR. Bracken tried
to make trouble for me on this &C.
count. When Miss Limbert returned
DR.. Campbell came to the school and
said that he was to take culture from
all of the teachers. This they refused
to do, until I told them to submit. /
telephoned DR.. Bracken asking if
might get another doctor. He refused
and then DR.. Campbell refused to take
them, saying that he would leave the
matter to the state. Dr. Bracken ar
rived in the village yesterday and
went Immediately to the president OF
the village council, whom he asked
to call meeting. This the president
refused to do, and a fight almost
followed. About noon the two
physicians came to my Office and said
they wished to talk to me. I called
up the president of the board, who
told me to say nothing. I turned to
the men and told them I had been
directed not to talk to them. They,
however, insisted that they talk with
me. I tried to say nothing to anger
them Until they began to talk about
the teacher, then I told DR.. Campbell
that he was not a gentleman to pick
on defenseless girls. DR.. Campbell
then started to fight and Dr.. Bracken
trying to separate us, took hold of me
by the shoulder and held me until !
received pretty good beating from
DR.. Campbell. Before the, officer
arrived they had hurried away. DR..
Bracken found it necessary to drive to
Burtrum and there take the train, as
the people were violent and several
were anxious: to give him coat of
tar and feathers.

I'm IlDfPEhDE DAD
Railroad From cayuna to
Lake Is a.Bie Indspen-
dent Project

That Independent steel companies Of
the United States will before long be
enabled to compete against the So.
called steel trust on very much more
even terms than have heretofore been
obtained was assured today by the
official announcement that railroad
line IS to be built from Minnesota's
new iron range, the Cayuna. near
Deerwood. Crow Wing county, to the
head of the lakes. says the st. Paul
Dispatch Of Monday.
When the United States Steel COM
pany made its famous contract for the
lease Of the Hill orchards it was
stipulated by the railroad magnate
that the freight rate on ore from any
part OF the Mesaba and Vermilllon
ranges to the lakes should be 80 cents
per ton, with sliding scale of
royalty. This big deal. which tied
up all the then known important iron
deposits for the trust. was heralded as
giving to the big corporation absolute
control OF the iron and steel market.
Since that time, however, the
Cayuna range has been developed,
recent work by experts having demon
strateG that the ore, though lower in
grade than that of the Mesaba and
neighboring ranges, is well worth
handling commercially.
An important feature Of the sltua-
ton is that the Cayuna ore will be
handled on a low royalty, ana for IS
cents per ton to the head of the lakes.
The lower freight rate and royalty,
it is said, more than counter balances
the higher grade of the trust deposits,
and independent companies will be
able to receive the raw material as
cheaply as those of the trust.
Before the Cayuna iron can become
an important factor in the market,
however, expensive ore docks will
have to be built at Duluth or Superior
and in all probability feet of boats
will have to be secured.
The road will he constructed this
summer by a company, Of which
Cuyler Adams, of Duluth, Is the head.
MI. Adams IS one Of the pioneers of
the Guyana range, and probably the
largest owner there. He has always
been enthusiastic regarding it and has
! had faith in 1t when others wavered.
His property there is estimated to be
worth millions now.
Behind Mr.. Adams will be the
Rogers Brown company, one of the
largest independent furnace interests
i in the United States.
The new road will be less than 1OC
miles in length, having it's terminus al
Deerwood for the present. The
terminals Of other roads will be used
in Duluth, but later it is planned tc
, construct ore docks there Work will
be begun on the road this summer,
and it is hoped to have it completed
within q year, so that ore may be
F.; shipped down the lakes next spring.
All Mr.. Adams associates are of The
group of steel mills classed as I'm
dependents. ''~-

Object to Make City Pop
ular Trading Place

A meeting that had for it's object
the upbullding OF strong market in
this city for all farmers produce, was
held Monday evening at the Com
mercial club by the grocers of this
city. The meeting was most
harmonious one and steps were taken
that will make this city a popular
place for the farmers to market their
produce, not only on market day but
every Saturday.
The grocers were of the opinion that
better results could be obtained by
forming an association, which was
done, the following officers being
elected: w. H. Hall, president Fl.
Pantzke, vice president; and F.
Larson, secretary. A committee, COM

posed of the above officers, was ap-
pointed to draft a constitution and by
laws for the association.
It Is planned to offer prizes at stated
times during the summer for the best
products of the farms. Special IN
ducements will be made in the stores
each Saturday to have the people from
the country and surrounding towns
make this their trading place.
Much good Will undoubtedly result
to both the farmers and the merchants
through the policy just mapped out
by the grocers.
