orders far the reduction OF freight
rates. he said. the railroads always
claimed that they we're conaxcafory.
The courts in considering such cases
had been obliged to accept the figures
the compromise as TO tho value OF their
property. With an honest appratse-
ment by the government agents u
would be possible to ascertain with
certainty whether any particular rate
was eonfscatory or just and reason
able.
He introduced also an amendntsnt
giving the commerce court exclusive

Eagerness for Passage OF
Moon Injunction Bill.

WASHINGTON, April 4.--Presi-
dent Taft's strong desire for the en-
actment of the Moon Injunction bill
is believed by Samuel Gompers. presi-
dent of the American Federation Of
Labor, to be due to his wish for vim
dteation.
"Mr. Taft, while serving on the
bench" said Gompers to-day. was
one OF the first judges to issue an
injunction against labor. and his rea-
SON for pushing the Moon ball now u
to legalize his actiens by placing such
injunctions upon the statute books OF
the Gnited States,
According to my way of thinking,
the Prestdent's attitude now In q nat
ural one--whether or not the bill
carries out the letter and intent OF
the last republican platform.
"In his speech In Worcester yes
terday. President Taft referred to me
a. his sometimes enemy fear the
President 10 heceminE too eager to
consider any one his enemy who does
not agree with his views. Possibly
this Is because of his judicial way Of
weighing matters or his ovevasnsittye-
ness,
.Mr. Taft is wrong about the In
junction bill. Its provisions give s
power to the courts and to the execu-
tive c<atrury to the freedom Of the
American people and contrary to the
laws of justice" ~
