Paris, March ia scandal in con-
nection with the liquidation of the
property of the religious orders has
aroused political passions in France
to pitch only comparable with the
Panama, Dreyfus and Boulanger at
fairs. The entire country is shocked,
but, as is customary in France, the
moral is overshadowed by the political
side. The government opposition may
try to overthrow Premier BRAND Mon.
day when the debate on the interpret
lation concerning the embezzlement
of Duez is resumed in the chamber
of deputies
The premier personally has come
out of the tray with flying colors, as
he did everything in his power to
bring Duez to brook two years ago.
Developments in the affair are amaz-
ing. The authorities have not as yet
been able to confirm the statement by
Duez that he lost millions in stock
gambling, but they have discovered
the shaky enterprises in which he was
engaged. Much money apparently
was squandered by Duez in riotous
living.

HOUSE AMENDS
RAILROAD BILL
PROVIDES FOR VALUATION BE-
FORE MERGING, CONSOLIDATE
ING OR REORGANIZlNG,

Washington, March 13.-The ad.
minlstration railroad bill was amend
ed by the house committee on inter-
state commerce yesterday SO as to
make the commercial Or market valu.
alton Of railroad properties by the
interstate commerce commission a
condition precedent to merging, con.
solidation Or reorganization of roads
subject to interstate commerce law.
This change is one of the most
drastic yet made, and opens the doors
only to valuation OF properties
whose merger IS contemplated. The
committee has not by this action en-
dorsed the various schemes for phys,-
cal valuation of all railroad properties
in accordance with many bills nitro
duced in both houses OF congress.
The amendment imposes a handl-
on such consultations as the Harr1-
man merger of the Union and South
ern Pacific Lines.

MINE WORKERS
LOSE THEIR SUIT
COURT EMJOlNS THEM FROM IN.
TERFERlNG WITH EMPLOYEES
OF COAL COMPANY.
HAVE NO RIGHT TO ESTABLISH
PICkETS OR MAKE THREATS
TO NON-UNioN MEN.

Richmond, Va, March 13.-By dls-
missing the appeal of the United
mine workers of America, the United
States circuit court of appeals prac-
tically perpetuates a temporary IN
junction of sweeping character.
The case is that of President Lewis
of the mine workers, as an Individual
and as vice president OF the union,
against the Hitchman Coal & Coke
Co. of West Virginia and is an ap-
peal from a decision of the United
States circuit court of the northern
district of West Virginia.
The injunction restraints the union
from interfering with the employees OF
the company for the purpose OF union
izing the mine from interfering and
conspiring to interfere with the en-
ployes of the plaintiff; from trespass-
ing ON the company's property; from
compelling by threats any employe to
leave: from establishing pickets.
The sole excuse. says the decision,
is alleged to be that some of the
plaintiffs rival coal operators refused
to comply with the unions demand
and excations.
The opinion also says they ha'
said to the plaintiff, NOTWITHSTANDING
you have complied with the requiI
ments of the organization (miners'
ion), have agreed to all its terms a.
conditions, have employed only unit
men, have secured nearly 81 900
the unions funds in the way Of due
from your miners, we propose to stol
your operations, shut down your mine
and in accordance with this purpose
to iniure. have actually carried out
these declarations, with no promise to
let-up before the plaintiffs final ruin
should be accomplished"
Gompers Bitter at Decision.
Washington, March 13.-The pre-
diction that the courts in their deci-

cipitate a revulsion of feeling in this
country, was made last night by Sam
uel Gompers, president of the Amer
lean federation Of lator, wher he read
the decision of the United States cir
cult court of appeals at Richmond,
Virginia, in the Hitchman strike case.
Mr.. Gompers asserted that the de-
cision of the court declaring unlawful
the sympathetic strike meant nothing
less than recognition of human slav-
cry.

CHARACTER.

TO INTERFERE.

Philadelphia, March 13.-Two of the

ment might be reached, were yester.
day practically eliminated as of pos
sible assistance in bringing an end to
Philadelphia labor troubles. On
Friday it was hoped that either Presf-
dent Taft, the bankers of Phiiadel-
phia, the national civic federation or
local councilmanic bodies would IND
a way to stop the strike The first
two mediums virtually have, been
abandoned.
Word comes from Washington on
seemingly good authority that the
president could not see his way clear
to intervene, because the trouble Is
of local character.
The president of the Philadelphia
clearing house association took a
stand against interfering unless the
amalgamated association of street
and electric railway employees agree
to recede from their stand on the
question Of exclusive recognition of
the organization.
There was no change in the general
strike situation. The transit COM
pany placed few more cars in oper-
atom and with the exception of the
Kensington district they met with
little trouble.
Several hundred journeymen bakers
met and agreed to strike until the
streetcar men get what they want.
Employers predict that tomorrow
will see the beginning of a general
break among the sympathetic strik-
ers, and dozens of local unions held
meetings yesterday and last night TO
lay plans to hold the men together.
There was the usual number Or
disturbances in the Kensington dis
trict yesterday afternoon. Many cars
were stoned, but in only one place did
the police have trouble.
