States a brief in the so-cal!ed Mis-
souri, river rate case They involve the
interests of manufacturers. jobbers,
| merchants ard railroads from the At
lantic seaboard to the Rocky noun
tainS.
The two cases which have attracted
the most attention are those concern
ing the through class rate on through
shipments originating at Atlanic sea-
board poinS and destined to the Mis-
souri, river cities. The third case in
wolves the class rates from Chicago and
from st. Louis IT, Denver.
The first two cases arise out of an
order issued hy the Interstate Com
mcrce Commission to become effective
No. TO- 1908 This order directed Il re-
duction of the rates for the tranSpor-
tation of various classes of freight
originating at Atlantic seaboard points
from Mississippi river crossings to the
Missouri river cities.
Before the rates went into effect the
matter was taken into the courts by the
railroads. The result was that the cir
cult court of the United States for the
northern district of Illinois held the order
unlawful and beyond the power of the
commission, because it was the exercise
of authority not specifically granted by
the act to regulate commerce and result
ed in artificially apportioning the country
| into zones tributary to given trade cen
ers. One appeal by the commission and
| another by Missouri river shippers were
taken to the supreme court.
Meanwhile the government is working

Cambridge, Mass; April live
hundred laborers who have been work.
ing on the Harvard Square end of the
Cambridge subway refused to go back
to work this afternoon and announced
that they were on a strike.
The men are seeking a 9-hour day
and 50 a day wage. They have been
working 10 hours for $1.95. of which
insurance.
During the afternoon the strikers visit
ed every portion of the subway route in
Cambridge from Harvard square to, the
West Boston bridge and used every effort
to persuade the remaining laborers to
quit Practically all of the organized
workmen are Italians. They threw stones
and pieces of planking into the excava-
ton and number OF workmen were in
jured but none seriously. Before night
| two-thirds of the workmen had left and
the work was practically tied up. The
section was strongly patrolled by the pc.
lice tonight to prevent serious disorder or
damage.
1t was stated here tonight that in
view of possible trouble with the strik-
ing employees when they meet tomor-
row morning to be paid off, the reserve
police force of Cambridge would be
called out at an early hour to quell any
demonstration.
The strikers will hold a mass meet
ing Sunday and discuss the situation
In the meantime they declare that they
will continue the strike until they re-

ceived.

err expenditures not explained, that the
| company's directors were frankly dunn
mics, some of them named to give the
bill local color at Albany, and that he
even owned some of the stock which
| stood in those directors names. In de-
scribing the genesis of the international
| Co.. Mr.. Browne admitted that he formed
it while he was receiving salary as con,
! fidential man for the late John A. Nc
Call, then president of the New York
| Life.
Edward Mccall who helped him
form the company. was real estate
counsel for the New York Life, Andy
Hamilton. who got the bill through

was in the New York Life building.

for the full face value of the stock it.
self and that stewart Browne arrang-
| ed the loan.
The bank was the depository of a
large part of the life insurance COM
| peny's "yellow dog fund. Browne
| owned the stock transferred to Buck
lev and Goodsell, except 40 shares,
| which stood in the name of one of his
| dummy" directors, and Mr.. Browne
said he probably owned that too.
"Was it usual procedure for a
| bank to loan the full par value of the
collateral?" Mr.. Hotchkiss asked.
"The bank was justified" Mr.. Browne
replied, "as the stock was selling at
s175 in the open market" Mr.. Hotch-
kiss seized on this lead.
"1'hen why did you sell your stock
to Goodsell and Buckley at $50 if you
could have got IT'S for it in the open
market?"
For once MIR. Browne hesitated. He
gave no clear explanation.
Three months later the stock dropped
to 1875 and the bank called Goodselis
loan. Goodsell told Browne about it
and the latter, he said told the bank
to "let up on the senator. 1t did so.
and the loan was carried on. He did
not know when Goodsell paid it.
Furniture for the International was
costly. The report of the company to
the superintendent of banks, dated
Dec. 81. 1899, had one item OF S2S,0S5
for furniture and fixtures" The books
of the company showed that $G642 was
spent for furniture.
Then you, as president of the COM
pany. swore falsely in regard to that
ITEM" asked Mr.. Hotchkiss.
Mr. Browne did not think that a fair
inference.
Later another entry of 100000 for
FURNITURE was discovered, authorized
in January but dated back to Deem
Der. Browne explained that in this in
stance, "furniture'' represented ex-
penses of organization. At this point
the International Cos. bookkeeping be-
came so intricate that further attempt
to urravel it had to be abandoned.

Washington, April 1.-After three days
of sharp controversy the Senate today
passed the House bill so amending the
employers liability law as to give the
state courts concurrent jurisdiction with
the federal courts in dealing with suits
for damages growing out of accidents.
The measure was reported from the
committee on the judiciary and was in
charge of Senator Borah, who finally
steered 1t to successful termination,
Notwithstanding many sharp assaults
from both sides of the chamber. The dis
cussion dealt especially with the rights
of the states to deal with questions grow
ing out of the liability law. Senator Hale
took a pronounced position in favor of
state control, but an amendment propos-
ed by him was voted down. Hepburn,
Borah's colleague. also sought to have
the bill amended, but without avail.
Paynter of Kentucky was the only SEN
ator who succeeded in getting the bill
amended.

members of his former staff in Pitts

eminence in the steel Industry and
some of the younger generation which

CenCcS with those he knew and made
the acquaintance of new leaders in
steel manufacture. The Carnegie Vet
Grams Association arranged the ban
quet on the occasion of Mr.. Carnegie's

years.
