New York, Oct. 2S.-When the pub
lie hearings begin Monday in the
United States Circuit Court on the to-
bacco trusts plan Of disintegration
and reorganization it will be soon de-
veloped that the Governments policy
is to make a model Of hat work.
The department Of justice will take
strong ground against every PROPOSE
ton. open or implied, in the trusts
scheme that may involve the slightest
compromise in the broad principles
laid down in the Supreme Courts de-
cree.
Should it not be made plain be-
yond the least doubt hat the dis
solution proposed will meet with
precision the Supreme Courts inter
probation Of the Sherman law, the
Government will reject every pro-
posal.

Following the lead of the president,
Attorney General Wickersham will in
sist that the tobacco trust dissolu-
ton be real and not a makeshift. He
will entertain no proposition that
stops short Of the complete severance
Of present relations between the va
riOuS elements of the combinations,
their separation into the legal entities
they were before the merger, and
the absolute divorce of every tie that
binds one or more Of them into a
community OF interest. In other
words, what will be demanded is that
every one of the companies, corpora
tons or co-partnerships that entered
into the combination shall be put
back legally and financially exactly
where it was before the trust was
formed. to the end that self interest
will require of each strenuous indie
pendent action in future.
In this Connection it is pointed out

they need to cover their shorts at around

During my frequent trips to Wash

the questions put to lawyers by the
grave and solemn members of the

dignity surrounding the famous trlbun.

breaking of the rules of syntax by the

The principle of employers

workman can satisfactorily dis
charge his duties when there

crippled or killed by an acct

The Government, and virtu-
ally all of the States, have re
cognized these facts, and enact
ed laws achieving more or less
justice in the premises. But
the general situation, as Gov
ernor Wilson indicates, is far
from being adjusted to that
standpoint which will assure a
square deal, beyond all perad-
venture or beyond all legal
bubble, to the man who tolls.
Whether he is to be protect.

question. There is, after all,
nothing particularly radical in

Talk of this nature at the

the degree in which the coun.
try turns increasingly to justice
for the laboring man who un-
dergoes unavoidable risks in
it's behalf. 1t inclines more
and more to hold toward him
the attitude it does toward the
soldier, whose loss of life or
limb cannot possibly be com
pensated by the trivial pay he
receives as an enlisted man.
Mean while, it will be we'll for
students of this problem, which
