Hits at Treasury Order.

Mr. Gordon depressed for a moment to
refer sarcastically 10 the latest order Is
sued by the Treasury Department, where
by the luncheon hour of the clerks has
been restricted so that they may leave
their desks at noontime only at the pleas
ure of their immediate superiors. The
speaker declared that the very principle
OF the civil service, whereby depart
mental employees apparently are secure in
their positions. has been set at naught.
since the subordinates in any bureau are
promoted or denoted practically at the
viii OF their immediate superiors.
Organization of the association for the
ensuing year was effected by the election
of the following officers: Peter j.
Hutchinson, president: 8. T. Faunce, first
vice president: Mrs. Jennie Munroe, Sec
ond vice president; Charles w. Commons.
third vice president: DR.. Lewellyn Jor-
dan. secretary. and r S. Jackson. treas
Urer.
Mr.. Hutchinson urged the unionization
OF federal employees throughout the coun-
try. and laid emphasis on the power that
such an organization would WELD.

Driven to Striking Point.

The clerks are rapidly being driven

10 strike for their rights. said Mr.. Cor

government employees from appealing to
their representatives for redress of

WHY THE REFUSAL.

Replying to an inquiry as TO the rea.
son why the Supreme Court Of the
United States refused TO con-
slider nm appeal from the ad.
iustmcnt of the Tobacco Trust case
made BY the Circuit Court of New
York, We may state that the refusal
was inevitable under the circum stances I;
for, no party 10 the suit asked re
view of the judgment of tho Circuit
Court, or of the details of the settle
mcut arrived at. And since 10 party
to the suit asked any further sdjndica-
ture. either by way of appeal or other
wise, the Supreme Court simply refused
to allow concern that was not q
party 10 the suit to Intervene at that
stage and reopen the case. Chief
Justice White stated with admirable
precision auI conciseness the position
Of tho court on this question in the
following terms:
ClD One who Is not a party To a record
and Judgment is not entitled TO appeal
thcrclrom
CD The action OF the court below in
refusing 10 permit the movers 20 become
parties TO the record Is not susceptible
or being reviewed by this court, on appeal
or indirectly. under the circumstances
here disclosed by the writ OF man
damus.
t@) The general nature and character
ot the interest which tho movers allcge
they have In the papers filed is not in
any event of such a character as TO 5u-
thorize them in this proceeding TO assatl
the action Of the court below This is
more obvious in this case since the act
OF the court which IS assaled has been
accepted by those who are parties 10 tho
record,
1t will thus be seen that the inde
pendent tobacco concerns hal no stand
ing in court; they had not appeared il
the suit in any way. The case was
pursued and decided on tue straight is
sue between the Government as com
plainaut and the composite Tobacco
Trust as defendant, No other parties
appeared In the case at any point in
the litigation. 1t was. therefore. quite
impossible that the Supreme Court
should intervene at that stage OF the
procedure at the instance OF those who
had not, in any way, appeared in the
suit. If the tobacco Independents want
the case reviewed it will be necessary
for them to institute a suit of theii
own and prosecute il to a point thai
will bring the matter regularly before
the Supreme Court,
