|B[AMES COMBINATIONS
| FOR UNREST IN LABOR
Iron Workers. Head Heard by
Academy of Social and Po-
IiticaI Science.

PHILADELPHIA, March 29-The effect
of industrial combinations on labor condi-
lions came up for discussion at the first
session today of the annual meeting OF
the American Academy of Political and
Social Science. The meeting will come to
an end tomorrow night, when President
Taft will make a brief address. The gen.
eral topic Of the annual meeting is Com
petition and Combination in Commerce
and Industry
A paper read by John Williams, presi-
Iron, Steel and Tin Workers, gives a COM
parison OF labor conditions under past
and present industrial conditions He
said that the conditions of the workers,
from an economic and social standpoint
were much superior under the old method
of independent operation.
Same Freedom Not Enjoyed.
Under the present system of in
dustrial combinations the workers, he
said, do not enjoy the same freedom.
Before the organization of modern in
dustrial combinations the hours of labor
were shorter, he said. To-day in the
iron and steel industry, outside of those
plants engaged in the manufacture of
sheet and tin plates. the twelve-hOur
work day is almost universal"
Peter Roberts, secretary Of the inter-
national committee of the Young Mems
Christian Association, New York, said
that the effect Of Industrial combina-
tons upon the wage classes, as a whole.
is unrest and distrust.

COMMERCE COURT BILL
GETSFAVORABLE REPORT
Measure to Abolish Tribunal
Reaches House From the
Committee.

A bill to abolish the United States Com
merce Court was favorably reported to
the House today by Representative Sims,
for the majority of the interstate and for
eign commerce committee. A minority
report. opposing the contention that the
Commerce Court is useless and expensive
probably will be submitted in a few days.
This, it is said, will be signed by all the
republican members of the committee, and
by one democrat, Representative Brous-
sard of Louisiana.
The measure practically would restore
matters to the status existing before the
passage of the Commerce Court act in
June, 1910. 1t would send the judges now
presiding in the Commerce Court to their
respective judicial circuits and have ap-
peals from interstate commerce commits
sion decisions decided by the district
courts. The law would be changed, how
ever. so to authorize the courts to grant
temporary injunctions restraining the
operation of the commissions orders
"only in case where the court entertalns
grave doubt concerning the validity of
the order and is Of the opinion that irrep-
arabic injury would ensue II suspension
is not granted"
Another change would vest in the inter-
state commerce commission exclusive au-
thority over all litigation to which 1t is
a party. relieving the Department Of JUS
tice of responsibility.

TRIAL NEARS THE CLOSE
Summing Up Arguments for
the Defense in Sugar
Trust Case.

NEW YORK, March 29-Counsel for
John E. Parsons, Washington B. Thomas.
George H. Frazier and other officers of
the American Sugar Refining Company,
charged with conspiracy in violation of
the criminal clause of the Sherman anti
trust law, began their summing up in the
United States district court today. The
case probably will go to the jury tonight.
Richard V. Lindabury of counsel for tn i.
defense made the first address to the
jury, and De Lancey Nicoll made the clos
ing one.
Counsel's Contention.
The main contention of both lawyers
was that Adolph Segal never had any in
tention Of operating the refinery in Phila-
delphia which the defendants are accused
of putting out of business by trucking
Segal with a $1,250.OGO loan.
Mr.. Lindabury sketched conditions OF
the refinery at the time it was built to
run. Also he held II the refinery was IN
condition to run where was the money to
operate It? Segal had no money. he said,
and the plant was heavily mOrtgaged.
And there was not one sugar man con-
nected with the refinery declared Mr.
I4indabury. "Segal was a promoter and
all those connected with him were either
lawyers or dummy secretaries and d.
rectorS.
Failure to Call Segal.
! Mr. Lindabury spoke of Attorney Wise's
| failure to call Segal as a witness. Mr..
Wise could not vouch for Segal." he
| said He knew Segal couldn't be trust
ed, and so he would not call him as a wit
ness. But l think, in fairness to the
defendants, Segal should have been call
| ed | wish he had been called"
Delaney Nicoll spoke along similar
| lines, predicating his entire address on
| the questions of whether or not Segal
| built the Philadelphia refinery with the
honest intention of engaging in competi-
! ton with other sugar refinerieS.

BRIGGS IS AGAINST PLAN
Does Not Think New Jersey
Delegates Need Support
Choice of Primary.

TRENTON, n. j.. March 29.-United
States Senator Briggs. chairman of the
republican state committee, gave out to-
day letter replying to Borden d. Whit
ing. chairman of the Republican League
of New Jersey, who suggested that the
league and the republican state commit
tee enter into an agreement that all ma
tional delegates in New Jersey support
the presidential candidate who receives
the highest number of votes in the state
in the preferential primary voting.
Senator Briggs points out that such an
agreement would be absurd and unfair to
the voters. because it would bind the
delegates from districts to support a can
didate who might not be the choice of the
voters of the district.
Senator Briggs further points out that
the candidates for the delegate at large
and the candidates for District delegates
may have placed after their names their
choice for President, and that If elected
with such choice expressed on the ticket,
and the voters having full knowledge of
the delegates preference. the delegates
should not be prevented from recording
their expressed choice as ratified by the
voters Of the district electing them.
