DEMAND VERDICT IF BOYCOTT SEI
 ASIDE
Union Hatters Argue for Relief from Judgment
 for $222,000

HARTFORD, Conn.,, March 9.-In the United States circuit court today arguments were heard on motion of the United Matters of North America to set aside the verdict of $222,000 re- gently obtained against the organiza tion in the suit of D. F. Loewe of Dan bury. It is understood that leading labor organizations of America have contributed to a fund to aid the United Matters in fighting the verdict and to carry the case to the supreme court of the United States if necessary. If the verdict is upheld by the highest tribunal it will be one of the hardest blows ever dealt to organized labor in this country as it will prevent them in future from resorting to the boycott as a means of fighting the socalled ''unfair' merchants and manufac turers.
 The suit against the United Matters has been one of the longest ever tried in q district court. It grew out of the boyeotting of the D. E. Loewe com pany in 1902 by labor organizations, es- pecially the United Hatters of North America. whose officers and members, originally to the number of about 2,5OO were made parties defendant. It was begun six years ago, considerable time being taken up in disposing of various motions and in deciding whether juris- dicton should be taken by the state or federal courts. Last fall the case was

banquet of the New England Manu- featuring Jewellers.
 During the month of April the pres -ident is scheduled to attend public functions in Washington two or three times week. He will address the Ma tionaI Woman s Suffrage association convention and speak at the dedication of the new home of the Bureau of American Republics and also at the dedication of the new library building at Harvard university. The first of May will find him again on his way west to fill engagements to speak in Pittsburg, Cincinnati and probably one or two other places. A few days after his return to the capital he will take a hurried trip to New York to open the Actors Fund fair in that city.
 Men close to the president say that he is not in bad health in any way a<l is physically sound and robust, but at the same time they think he has been overtaxing himself and have not hesi- tated to advise him to shorten his hours of labor when at home, and to make fewer trips away from the city or give nfore time to them.

PROPOSE REDUCTION
 OF EXPRESS RATES
Texas Railroad Commission
 Will Investigate

AUSTIN, Tex, March 9.-The State Railroad commission today began hearing on the proposal to reduce the joint rates charged by express compan- ies in Texas. It is proposed to make the joint rates the local rates for the same or equal distance plus 30 per cent. The adoption of the new plan would mean material reduction in the reve- nues of the express companies, as at present they charge the sum of the To- calls to point of interchange and from there to destination, less 10 per cent.

ready to be tried out on it's merits, and the trial began on October 13, and, as it progressed, it became evident that the struggle was virtually one be- tween the labor organizations and the Anti-BOycott association, with able counsel on both sides. In his charge to the jury Judge James P. Platt said that there was no doubt as to the eX- istenee of q boycott, and after this point was settled, there was left the question as to the amount of damages to be awarded. On February } last the jury, after being out two hours, or, dered actual damages of $74,00O to the plaintiff;J but as the suit was brought under the sherman antitrust law triple damages can be recovered.

STRENUOUS LIFE |S BEING PURSUED
 BY TAFT
Many Public Engagements at Home and in Outside
 Cities Firing

WASHINGTON, D. C., March g. Some of the president $ friends, fear ing that he may overtaX his strength and physical endurance, are urging him to cancel some of the many public en- agreements he has made for the next few months and take life a bit easier until the time arrives for his summer vacation. The past winter has been an exceedingly strenuous one for MT. Taft and it is small wonder that of late he has appeared Jagged and worn out at times. During the past few weeks he has been absent from Washington several times to attend banquets and meetings in outside cities. The trips
Daily Arizona silver belt., 1910-03-10

were made with the minimum loss of time and consequently left the president little time for rest or recreation.
 The schedule of the president s pub lie engagements for the next three months shows that he will be kept busy until the arrival of warm weather. Week after next he is to go to Chicago in response to an invitation to speak at the St. Patrick s day banquet of the Irish Fellowship club of that city. The program prepared for the day is sufficient to show the strain upon the president on such occasions. He is scheduled to arrive in Chicago at clock in the morning and will be es. corted by a TeceptOn committee to the La Sale hotel. where he will listen to the informal addresses of welcome. At II o'clock he will visit the Newspaper club. and at 12:30 o'clock he will be entertained at luncheon by the local committee. At o'clock in the after. noon he will make an address in the Au- ditorium to a conservation convention and at o'clock he will attend a re. ception at the Hamilton club. An hour later he will receive the members of the Fellowship club, and at O 'clock he will deliver an address, so that he may leave Chicago at l0:30 p. m. After an all-night ride he will arrive in Rochester in time to speak at din. ner of the chamber of commerce in that city. Thence he will hurry on to Al
 bany, where he. will also make an ad

The magistrate figured out that $4.0O was all the cab driver was entitled to and the prisoner was perfectly willing to pay that much. Finding himself baked in his little eX- tortiOn game, the "cabby" accepted the $4.O0 and the prisoner was released.

It is hoped that the baby rhinoceros will recover from the indispostion under the careful medical attention given to it.

 The report from Pttsburg that the warden of the Western Pennsylvania penitentiary had decided to give con genial employment to a number of "artists' confined in that institution, by putting them to work painting elab' crate frescoes upon the interior walls of the prison building, has created con siderable interest among the the men and women who make the amelioration of prison conditions their hobby. The plan is considered excellent from hu- manitarian standpoint and an effort will be made to have the Pittsburg ex- ample initiated in the various penal and reformatory institutions of the state of New York. It is believed that even Harry Thaw might find his con | fnement at Matteawan less irksome if ! his cell walls were decorated with fires coes representing bathing nymphs or dancing bayaderes. Should anyone of the prisons or lunatc asylums be shy of "artists' to do the worK, the de- feet could easily be remedied There are plenty of artists of the "impres- sionist" kind, who ought to be in pris- on, in lunatic asylum or other place of safe keeping.

For 81 Milwaukee wife can get a
hat made. The city will do the jot
for that price. Millinery is the lat
est enterprise added to the list OF
activities of the municipality. 1t is
destined, members of the school
board believe, to be Of as great
benefit to the public as some of the
other municipal enterprises.
The 81 hatmaking will be done
by the students at the new girls
trade school. Dressmaking also will
be done for the populace at the
same institution at prices much less
than usually charged.
The committee has decided on a
sliding scale for making dresses.
Whether the price will depend upon
the size of the gown or upon the
amount of trimmings and fixings''
has not been determined.

They made me think of souls in
the storm of life-driven by ir-

until they sink to earth, to be
trodden by shoe and boot.
Perhaps my inner-self was

of myself at all. Yet, when my

became aware Of a painful weight
within my heart-an aching bit

more, and much that never has
been.
Mechanically my eyes wandered
