SUIT CASE MAKERS STRIKE.
Sudden Advent of Warm Weather
Wins for Strikers.

New York, June 23.-It's an i'll
wind, etc. Twelve hundred members
of the Suit Case Makers union here
have the above to thank for a nine
hour work day and an increase of 10
per cent in wages. The suit case
makers have been on strike since early
April, but the employers remained
obdurate until this week, when the
sudden advent of warm weather sent
CITY folks scurrying to cooler resorts
and stimulated the demand for suit
cases so much that the employers
caDitulated. Such at least is the ex-
nIanation of the union leaders.

Chicago. June 2s.-Owing to the
agreement of the big packers to permit
an increase in their eastern rates, seri-
Gus controversy is likely to arise over
the western rates on packing house
products and dressed meats. At pres

In esse from a condition of tndistinct-
ness and uncertainty to a plane of dis

testify, the learning is elementary that
precludes legislative interference with

claim for exemption under this legfsia-
ton can be nationally defended which
rests for it's security upon an uncon-
stitutional exercise of legislative
power.
THE change sought to be effected
by his legislation is of q regulatlVe
and administrative character, n de-
ponds for it's existence not upon the

ear-marks of certainty and distlnctness,
and thus se~gresating 1t are
ed by the act to protect 1t invioiate
from any otner use.
"In estimating the value or poiicles
of this class for purposes OF exemption
we must assume that the commissioner
of banking and insurance, under the
provisions of the act of 1906, considered
this surplus as an asset eventually
~distributable among the policy-holders
of the class entitled to participate In
It's distribution, and. therefore. ex ne
cessitate, 1t became an existing factor
in his computation OF policy value. II
the act of 1897 effectuates change
in this respect 1t could only be to rem
der more definite and certain an exist
ing factor entering into the value OF
a class of policies which, therefore, Tor
lack of administrative supervision was
indefinite and indistinct, at least IN
Legislative contemplation.
Would Mean a Double Exemption.
'Manifestly, therefore, to admit the
claim of the defendant Is in effect TO
concede its right to a double exemption
upon the same liability, since we must
assume that a public officer charged
with the duty of estimating values for
the purpose of exemption considered
in his estimate all the known factors
which give value to the subject matter
of the estimate.
1--WE find 1t unnecessary for the pur-
pose of this determination to consider
the character of a fund thus appor-
toned and segregated by Legislative d.
rection, as between the company and
the p~olicy-holders of the class entitled
to share in it. 1t must suffice to deter
mine In this controversy the status OF
this fund as between the company and
the State for the purpose of taxation,
