WANTS QUICK TRIAL
Court Warns Attorneys at
Hearing of the Packers.
WANDER FROM THE MOTION
Counsel Urged to Conclude Argu-
ments on Point at Issue-Af-
fidavits Filed.

CHICAGO. November Harmed with
all the legal ammunition that they were
able to gather over night. the small army
| of lawyers engaged in the battle over the
constitutionality Of the criminal provi-
sion of the Sherman antitrust law. were
prepared to again appear before Judge
Christian kohlsaat in the United States
circuit court at 10 o'clock today.
At the end of the first days session in
the hearing involving the rights Of the
indicted meat packers the main question
at issue had not been touched. The gov
ernment's attack on the question of Judge
Kohlsaat's jurisdiction in the habeas
corpus case occupied the time at the first
days hearing and gave promise Of TAX
ing up a great part of the time today.
Court Makes Suggestion.
When the morning court session
opened Judge Kohlsaat said that coun-
sci for both sides had been wandering
from the motion before the court, and
asked counsel for the packers to con-
clude their arguments on the motion
before the beginning of the session.
and at the same time requested gov
eminent attorneys to limit their argu-
ments to the afternoon session.
Levi Mayer, COuHSel the packers,
submitted fifteen affidavits to show
that the packers were under restraint
of the NIfted States marshal for more
than one hour Monday at the time of
the surrender by bondsmen.
The affidavits were sworn to by each of
the defendants, by counsel for the pack
ers and by sureties for the packers.
Arthur Meeker. according to affidavits,
during the restraint. asked Deputy Mar
shall Crawley if the defendants would be
ynr cd 70 70 hosr hon for fhn
night, providing Judge Kohlsaat refused
to issue the writ of habeas corpus.
Not Taken to Hotel.
To this Crawley replied. according to
the affidavits. that they would not go to
a hotel. but would be taken to the North
Side: that the affiant understood, said
Crawley. to mean by the words 'the
North Side" the Cook county Jail, which
sometimes Is referred to colloquially as
the North Side
Arguing against the assertion by At
torney Sheean that the packers We're
endeavoring to delay the case. Attorney
Mayer declared that the government was
responsible for efforts to hinder final dis
position of the matter.
Trial Lasts Over Four Years.
The Standard Oil case took four years
and six months to try he said 1.-The
tobacco case three years and ten months,
and if the government has its way in
this case 1t will take an equally long
time.
Now. l say that we can go direct to
the United States Supreme Court and get
a final ruling in from sixty to ninety days
and settle this matter once and for all.
II insist that 1t is not right that this
prosecution of the packers-this great
club of Hercules-shall be held up in the
air by representation and delay.

SAYS STEEL CARS
ARE NOT SAFE
CHICAGO & NORTHWESTERN OF
FiCIAL ATTACKS THE SMITH
BILL AT sENATE
HEARING.

IF this bill providing for the steel
construction of coaches, and other
changes in the present mode of build
ing them become a law, all the car
shops in the country, working day and
night would be unable to replace the
number of coaches that would have to
be taken from the roads," said c. A.
Schroyer, superintendent of car serv-
ice of the Chicago d Northwestern
railroad, at the public hearing on rail-
road bills in the senate chamber at
Lansing. Schroyer referred to the
Smith bill, and i'm his statement voiced
the sentiment of a dozen or more rail-
road officials who enlightened the leg
islators on a few facts which appar-
entity they hadn't heard of before the
bills were introduced.
''Your bill provides for steel con-
struction of cars" continued Schroyer.
Did you ever hear that building cars
of steel is still an experiment. Steel
is quick to rust, especially with the
heating devices we must have. 1t is
hard to locate the rust, and in some
| cases, l do not hesitate to say a car
| would leave the yards with Orders
dangerously weakened by rust and in
spectors would be unable To discover
II. The Chicago & Northwestern has
| approximately LOO coaches which
| would be worthless If a law such
as this was passed in all the states I'm
| which it operates.
1T seems to me that the railroads
can do all the improving necessary
| themselves, both in the system of
working the men and building its
coaches. Legislation is not necessary"
Schroyer also attacked the Henry
| caboose bill, which he stated, wanted
| railroads to put a 10000 ton truck un-
| der cabooses which at the most are
,alled on to carry three or four men.
w. S. Bromlee, of the Grand Trunk
railroad, declared that if the Smith
bin was passed, his road would be
forced to put out of use within nine
years, according to the provisions of
the bill. 10 coaches scheduled to be
| delivered to the railroad at a cost
/ VI idll a.
| w. ID. Trump, of the Pere Mar
quette also emphasized the roads
inability to comply with such require
ments as are contained in the Smith
bill.
"Our coaches are not constructed OF
Steel" said Mr.. Trump, ''for the simple
reason that experiments of stee
coaches have not been entirely sue
cessful. We would be glad to lend the
services of our experts to meet the
committees to agree upon some meth
cd of construction, but l am certain
that cars which we are having built
now, and which have been built i'm the
last year are as near perfect as posi-
BILE, even though they do not comply
with the requirements of this pro-
posed law"
The full crew bill was also given
a thorough shaking up by the railroad
officials.

NOVEL Scene IN
COMING COMEDY
DRESS REHEARSAL ACT IN THE
PRODUCTION, "Mlss NOBODY
FROM sTARLAND," is A
BIG HIT.

Mort II. Singer has spared neither
pains nor money TO give Miss Nobody

a notable cast. The scenery and cos
tunes are pronounced most preten-
tious. The cast is one of extreme ex-
cellence and contains Olive Vail as its
star. The chorus fully maintains the
reputation of the Singer management
of presenting a bouquet of American
beauties in the big feature numbers.
The most sensational novelty is

stage manager calls a rehearsal.

stage manager is undaunted and fin
ally the curtain goes up on n mock
performance. Here is more fun. The
audience sees the performance from

desperation of the stage manager

shots in a battle and the float bearing

WAGES small
CIVIL SERVICE EMPLOYEES ARE
INTERESTED IN THE CAM
PAlGN FOR IN
cREASES.

Copper country people i'm the gov
ested I'm the movement which was be-
gun in Washington last Saturday to
enlist the sympathies of people in gem
eral in the movement 10 bring about
legislation making general increases
I'm the salaries paid government en-
ployes working under the civil service
rules. The rule issued some years ago
that civil service government en-
ployes may not petition congress di-
rectly for increases in salary without
first obtaining the permission of their
department heads, has been adversely
criticised by government employees and
people outside of the service, but the
employees adhere to it out Of necessity
of preserving their positions.
On account Of the exceptionally nigh
cost of living in the copper country as
compared with places i'm agricultural
districts the present civil service sal
aries are regarded as entirely too low
and the result has been that new blood
is constantly going into all branches
of the service and experienced work.
ers are dropping out TO engage in more
lucrative employment.
1t is estimated that the average sal
airy of all government employees work.
ing under civil service rules through
out the country is $742 per year. The
average is regarded as lower than it
should be for the proper remuneration
OF men supporting families.
Postal clerks and carriers enter the
service at $500 a year. In the second
year the salary is automatically in
creased to $500, and from that time
til a $1,100 maximum is reached. The
absolute maximum for clerks and car
riers is $1,000 a year, which sum is
reached only by recommendation of
the postmaster. Thus it takes a man
at least six years to work up TO $1,000.
Superintendent and foremen get
81 400 to $1,000, but the number of
such positions is small compared to
| the number of men in the service, so
that 81 200 a year may be regarded as
the general maximum.
Before the order prohibiting direct
/ petition to congress was issued. postal
clerks and carriers were considering
carrying on such a campaign as that
which has now been started in their
behalf Other government employees
were also dissatisfied with the salary
conditions and congress was facing a
general appeal. People outside of the
service. who see in the yearly loss OF
/ thousands OF competent employees on
account Of the low salaries, a menace
( to efficiency, have now taken the mat
ter up and will endeavor to have con-
gress pass laws which will bring the
salaries up to a level at which all will
receive a living wage.

The chief received a letter yester-
