Iron workers have steel nerves. but the

every hammer stop IN its tapping, and
the c.-i-~.n ul heart in the throat

"mischievous modification" Justice Har-
Ian quotes the Chief Justice as saying
that lit does not necessarily Follow that

Zation resulted from the combination and
the transfer OF the stocks of the subsid-

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.
Taking this language in connection
with other parts OF the opinion, says
Justice Harlan, 'the subsidiary com
panies are thus, In effect, informed-un-

Of the court for holding that not every
restraint of trade violates the law. He
reiterates the court reversed it's former
rulings in the transmissoTi freight
and Joint traffic association cases.
Quoting several hundred words from
each of these opinions, Justice Harlan
says:
These utterances show so clearly

THE HIGH CAR STEP.

The high car step on trolley lines is something the patrons cannot get used to, and doubtless many heavy people walk because they find it so difficult to get aboard.
 The Fall River News, discussing the high trolley car step, says:
 Y Not so much sympathy is felt for the embarrassment arising to women from the prevailing styles of dress that high car step causes, as for the crippled and aged to whom the climb into many of the cars unassisted is practically impossible The high step is explained by the high trucks and the larger wheels that make travel easier. The danger of two car steps is advanced as an excuse for a single high step, but cars on the steam roads have more than two steps and acci- dents solely due to them are not often noted. Whatever the reason and the excuse, there are cars now being oper- ated here that are little short of an outrage upon the people, young or old, who are obliged to scale into them
 It is thought light temporary step might be placed on the ground near the car at regular stations, as is done by Pullman car porters, to make em- barking easier for the public on the high trolley car.
