RECIPROCITY BILL
APPEARS DOOMED
Roots Amendment Entering
Wedge for Slaughter.

1t was learned last night that sup
porters of the administration are consid-
erably alarmed over the outlook in the
Senate for the Canadian reciprocity bill
Noses have been counted in the Senate
and It has been found that the admins
tration at present lacks two votes OF
being able to defeat the amendment pro-
posed by Senator Root. which. if adopted.
will have the effect of preventing a free
exchange Of wood pulp and print paper
until all restrictions have been removed
by the Canadian provinces.
While President Aft does not object TO
the general purport of the Root amend
menf, he and his advisers fear that II will
be only the opening wedge for series Of
changes in the bill which will be the
death knell OF Canadian reciprocity.
1t is known that President Taft is pre-
pairing to make unusual efforts TO prevent
the amending of the bill. The fact that
Mr.. Taft is being opposed on this propo-
sition by Senator Root, who has always
been known as a strong administration
supporter, has caused considerable COM
ment.

In formal opinion filed yesterday dis
senting from the Judgment of the United
States Supreme Court in the Standard
| Oil case. Associate Justice John NJ.
Harlan characterizes as judicial legisla-
ton the action of his colleagues in
that court in writing into the law the
qualifying words unreasonable and
undue as describing restraints upon
commerce and attempts at monopoly that
contravene the Sherman antitrust law.
Justice Harlan's formal dissent is little
short of sensat1nal- He declares in effect
reaching the action of Congress through
judicial construction. is a blow at the,
integrity of our governmental system,
and in the end will prove most danger
Gus to all Justice Harlan expresses the
conviction thatsthe Standard Oil decision
instead of giving rest and quiet to the
business of the country. will throw busi-
ness into confusion and invite litigation.
In my Judgment says Justice Har-
Ian, the decree below should have been
affirmed without qualification" He de-
clares that the opinion of the majority of
the court, as stated by the Chief Justice,
informs the subsidiary companies of the
Standard Oil Company of New Jersey in
effect that although the New Jersey
corporation, being an Illegal combination.
must go out of existence, they (the sub
sidiaries) may join in an agreement to
restrain commerce among the States if
such restraint be not undue"
Justice Harlan quotes the following
from the words of Chief Justice White
as sustaining the conclusion he quotes
above as to the limitation upon the fu-
ture commercial activities of the subsi-
diary companies.
TT does not necessarily follow said
the Chief Justice. in the majority opin-
ion, that because an illegal restrain of
trade or an attempt to monopolze or a
monopolization resulted from the COM
bination and the transfer of stocks Of the
subsidiary corporations to the New Jer-
sey corporation, that like restrait or
attempt to monopolize or monopolization
would necessarily arise from agreements
between one or more of the subsidiary
corporations after the transfer of the
stock by the New Jersey corporation"

BASEBALL
Team In Mt. Vernon Has
Been RGOrganized

For the past several weeks the
Hiawatha baseball team has been
slowly falling of in their work and
the games have been somewhat un-
interesting, The management of the
team has been losing money on every
game played during the past month and
in order to maintain and support the
team, some other means of manage
ment was necessary.
few days ago the club was re-
organized and the lineup given a
general shakcup. Coleman, who has
been catching, is good backstop
but in pinches has no judgement and
for that reason, he will not be behind
the bat in the future. The services
OF Popham. Tiger and Porter have
been secured and with their support
to the team a very strong aggregation
will anpear in the future. Mr.. A. l..
Byrnes has taken McCalla's place as
one of the managers and, as he is
very enthusiastic, will take every
means to build Up one of the strong
est teams that has been in the city
for several years. The attendance
will be excellent in the future owing
to the Improvement and the games
will now be well worth the price OF
admission.
