mer respect there had been an utter

With huge chart to show the rela-

in support Of the Cummins amendment

approval by the interstate comm cree
commission Of increases in railroad
rates.
THE interstate commerce commission

Mr.. LaFollette. adding that it was so

having their way for forty years. We
nave the sins Of many congresses to
atone for before we permit this bill
TO pass from our hands"
While the rate regulation provision
o. the Presidents original bill was in
the public interest. Mr.. LaFollette said
the provision had been modified by
Senator's Aldrich and Ellxins wholly in
the interest of the railroads.
Since January 1. he said, the rates
on wool from St. Louis and Duluth to
New YORK had increased II and IS
per cent: on grain and grain products
domestic, from ST. Louis to New York

 OF BUCK STOVE CASE
PRESIDENT. GOMPERS PRESENTS lLABOR'S SIDE, OF BURNING
 ISSUE

The January number of Editor Sam uel Gompers' American Federationist, the official organ of the American Fed eration of Labor, is out, and is es- pecially interesting in view of the fact that it contains in full the petition and brief to the United States Supreme court, in the test case in the celebrat- ed matter of the Bucks Stove & Range Co.,, against the American Federation Samuel Gompers. John Mitchell and Frank Morrison, ct als. The latter asked for a writ of certiorari, which has been granted, and the case will now go before that court for review.
 Regarding this matter, MT. Gompers says:
 s.The attitude of organized labor to- ward the court now. weighing the case is the same as that hitherto maintain ed toward every court sitting in judg- ment in the matter-respectful. But while forgetting neither the dignity due labor nor the court, the defend- ants are animated by firm and ard ent desire to persist to the last point in responding to the call of freedom as Anne rican citizens have under stood it for more than century,"
 The magazine declares among other things that the Steel trust is making a war upon labor, that the recent con- vention in Toronto was magnificent, and contains a lengthy paper on wages and the cost of living.
 Iii the article, What Our Organf- gers Are Doing From the Atlantic to the Pacific" one report is made from
 Connecticut and that is by Organizer T. J. Sullivan of Hartford, in which Mr Sullivan says:
 "The organized trades in this city : are in fair shape. Improvements in working conditions have been secured without strike. Employment is steady at this season. Under the provisions of recent legislation the state pays a stated sum each week toward the sup port of consumptives in hospitals. Have a number of new unions under way
 President Gompers requests ali off cers of the labor movement to pay the greatest attention toward aiding the Census Bureau in making the census of 1910 in the matter of furnishing the fullest of information regarding voca- tiontal occupation, mortality, etc, to the enumera tors.

PRESIDENT LYNCH AND BAN JOHNSON
 IN FIRST CONFAB
John Kings Case import ant Topic at Meeting of
 National COmmiss on

New York, Jan. 4-President Thomas ,J. Lynch and Secretary John Huydler of the National League of Professional Baseball clubs will leave here this af- ternoon to attend the annual meeting of the National Commission in Cin- cinnati tomorrow. President Lynch will formally meet President Ban Johnson of the American League for the first time, and together they will re-elect Garry Hermann Of Cincin- nati to the chairn1anship. Many prominent baseball men will be on hand during the meeting of the com mission, which, it is believed will pos sibly reopen the case of Catcher John kling of the Chicago Cubs. It was sadi on good authority yes Ierday that c. w. Murphy is anxious to have Kl ng restored to good standing as a play CT inasmuch as the Philadelphia Ma tional League club stand ready to pay $51, GOO for. his release. It requires a
 unanimous vote to reinstate Kling, and it is said that Messrs. Hermann and Lynch are ready to support Mur- phys, petition. but whether Johnsons s vote can be secured remains to be seen.
 "If Kling wants to play ball,,'' says Murphy, he should not be prevented from doing so. He is not contract jumper and has done nothing dishon- orable He did not play With the Cubs last year because he had a. leave of absence in order to devote his time to private business venture in Kansas City. Personally l do not know where KEng wants to play ball next season, but I do know that if he has a chance to play with any other team outside of Chicago and the Chicago club is willing the commission should not stand in the way
 While Murphy, who was here on Saturday, would not admit. that Kings release would be sold to Ph l. ade.phia, President Fogel of the Quakers says the deal will go through if Kling is reinstated. So it appears to be a case of whether the conlrnis- sion will recognize Murphy's petition or not.

Billy Eanna Attends Elks' Reception and
 Seeks New Captain

Waterbury, Jan. 4.-Billy Hanna, owner of the New Britain baseball team, was here yesterday attending the Elks' reception, and closed up a baseball deal which will give the New Britain team a new manager and cap- tain next season. He has signed Joe Connor, for three or four years a catcher for Springfield, and he will manage the team. He will have but little to do with hiring the players, however, as Hanna has retained all of last years team except McCabe and Mason, the first baseman, who will go to Springfield as a sort of ex- change for Connor. Hurst and Ru- fiange, it is said, will be let out, and new catcher will be signed for New Britain to support Connor. ,Connor has been promised his release from Springfield, it is said.

Big Night Tonight

There will be three mile race to- night at the Park city rink between Harry Burke of this city and Billy Yale, the fast New Haven skater It will be a very exciting trace as both boys have put up many a hard battle before and there will be a return race at New Haven next week where Burke will race the same distance at the Quinnipac Ring in Fair Haven, that being small rink it would be almost impossible for Burke to try and make fast time as it takes twenty laps to the mile and his time would not be very. fast as in the Bridgeport rink. The race vii start at. 9:30 There will be a large deigation from the Elm city to witness the big race of these two big men.

ALL CATCHERS SHOULD
 WEAR SHIN PADS

According to Manager Lake of the Boston National League team there should be g. rule compelling all catch CTS to wear shin pads of some kind so that all danger to the players in that position can be minimized. These pa ds, in the opinion of Lake can be made light and pliable and yet strong enough for all purposes. He says they are just as much a part of a catcher's paraphernalia as a mask, a chest pad, protector, or his big mit Lake also believes there should be as much protection to base runners as possible, and he advocates the high shoe instead of the low cut He saws that if players wore the high shoe which goes over the ankle there would be fewer weak ankles and less danger to injury of legs and feet.

When Manager Patsy Donovan of the Boston American League team heard that Hairy Lord had signed a contract to play with the club again next season, he at, once decided to appoint him Captain of the Speed Boys. Speaking of Lord, Donovan says that he is not only an unusually fine all-around ball player but man of absolutely correct habits. Being an enthusiastic player he will na- turally make a good leader. Last sea- son, according to Donovan, Lord did good work as Captain after Gessler gave up the position, but was handi- capped because of his only rounding out the season A man to Captain a team properly, Donovan says, should be in charge of the players in their preliminary work and be in close touch with. the manager.
