SUIT TO DISSOLVE
STEAMSHIP COMBINE

New York, Jan. THE federal
government has brought suit in the
United States circuit court under the
Sherman antitrust law against thir-
teen of the principal transatlantic car
riers, which are estimated to control
80 per cent of the steerage traffic,
worth to them $55,0O0,OOO a year.
Twelve officers of the defendant
companies, all resident in America, are
named as co-defendants.
illegal Contract.
These, companies, the government
charges, entered into an illegal con-
tract February 5, 1908, at London,
England, by which they constituted
themselves the Atlantic Conference,
with power to apportion all traffic pro-
rata, impose heavy fines on members
of the conference for violation of any
article of agreement and wage compe-
tition. against all lines outside the con-
ference.
Driven Off Seas.
AS result, it is alleged, the Russian
volunteer fleet, plying between New
York and Libau, was driven out of
business and the Russian-American
line was forced to make terms with
the conference and enter it's member
ship.
Suit was brought by Henry A. Wise,
United States district attorney, acting
under instructions from Attorney Gen
eral Wickersham. In it's petition the
gov eminent prays the court to "en-
join the defendants from further agree
ing, combining and conspiring to in
jure or destroy the business of any
person or corporation engaged in the
business of carrying steerage passen-
gers between points in the United
States and Europe.
To Check cIearings.
Further, that each, every and AL of
the defendant steamship lines be for
hidden to clear any of their vessels
from or at the port of New York or
any other port of entry in the United
States or any of it's possessions, so
long as they shall continue to operate
under the aforesaid alleged unlawful
combination or conspiracy"

Portland, Ore, Jan. 9.-The Sunday
OregOnian publishes the following fore
cast of the matters likely to occupy a
legislative session at Olympia:
Hardly day goes by but some new
wrinkles for reform are advanced by
members of the Legislature. The in
surance question is going to be big
one and one mat will cause nasty
fight. The insurance code commission,
which is going to revise the insurance
laws of Washington, in addition to
recommending that the Office of insur-
ance commissioner be made appointive
instead of elective, as it was prior to
1907, is said to have unearthed some
interesting data concerning the insur-
ance business in Washington, to put
before the members of the Legislature,
and some startling developments are
expected.
Liability Law Probable.
On top of this, the commission ap-
pointed to draft an employees compen.
sation or employers liability law, has
recommended for passage bill OF
great magnitude; in reality, the bill is
more far-reaching than Is ordinarily
supposed. 1t is admitted by those in
authority that if the continental system
of pensions is adopted, that it is less
than step to the establishing of old.
age pensions. The bill bears the in.
dorsement of the big manufacturers OF
the state and many of the leading
union labor leaders, and is reported to
be approved by unorganized labor.
Many have forgotten that the report
of the investigating committee of the
various Offices is to come up for con.
sideration at this session Embodied
in this report is long series of recon.
mendations in regard to the state land
Office. The proposition has been ad.
vanced to wipe out the office as now
constituted and to have a board OF
three land commissioners, one of whom
is to be elected and two to be an.
pointed. This will meet with more OF
less opposition from various sources
and is bound to stir up trouble. AL.
ready bill has been drawn to have
the money now held in the name of the
land commissioner deposited so that
the state will draw interest on it.
Daily Balance 100000.
The report shows that in the past
i've years this money amounted to an
average daily balance of $4,000 This
money does not belong to the state, hut
is simply held in trust by the land
commissioner on behalf Of the appli-

titude of the Interstate commerce COM
mission in refusing to take jurisdiction
over the common carriers of Alaska,
SO as to require them to file schedules

supreme court Of the District Of Column
