and in the injunction and anti-boy-
colt cases against the officers of the
American Federation Of Labor. that
decision will not necessarily have
any bearing on the forty or more state
laws on the same subjects.
Railway Aegulation.
The need for uniformity In state
regulation Of railroads and other pub
lie utilities, the coordination Of the
laws governing the state railroad
commissions and the interstate COM
merce law. made evident at the recent
hearings on the railroad rate ques-
ton, and also the regulation Of public
utilities by commissions will be dis
cussed.
The controversy over the PROPOSE
tion to increase railroad rates, now
before the interstate commerce COM
mission, is Of tremendous concern
not only to the stockholders, mer-
chants, manufacturers and other ship
pers, but also to the three million
employees working on the railroads
and in the shops Of the railroad sup
ply manufacturers. It indirectly con-
Germs the millions Of depositors in
savings banks and policy-holders in
insurance companies which are large
investors in railroad securities.

sions, the commissioners Cb uniform
state laws of thirty-two states, rep
resentatives of the American Bar as
sociation in eighteen states, repre-
senting employers, labor men and So
cial experts. In no subject is there
greater need for uniform state action
than in the matter of compensation
for industrial accidents. This Is clear
ly proven by the increased cost of
insurance resulting under the appli-
cation Of the New York compensation
law. which in some cases has doubled
the rate, and which, If generally ap-
piled, would work hardship on New
York employers who have to compete
with employers in other states.
Laws Regulating Labor Disputes.
In view of the recent street railway
strikes in Philadelphia and Columbus
and the express strike in New York
city, there will be considered ques-
tions of special interest to the public
at this time, to-wit: How far is the
Canadian conciliation and arbitration
act applicable to and desirable for the
United States? Can the state laws
on mediation and arbitration be made
effective in handling Industrial dis
turbances in general? Shall special
| Legislation be advocated, applying to
street railways and other municipal
utilities? Shall the Erdman act
which is so effective in the case ol
interstate railways, be extended tc

some parts of the country is twelve
feet deep. In many villages the
houses have been flooded and the
