WHAT ALWAYS
MUST LEGALLY Do
Court Decision That Has Prob
ably Escaped General Notice
by Fast Reading Public.

The Supreme Court OF the United
states has rendered another decision
II which the railways are Interested in
! marked degree. 1t holds that rail-
Fays are not privileged to say what
laSses of shipments they will receive
or transportation, but are bound, from
he very nature OF their occupation, to
transport all articles rendered them for
,hc purpose, proviued such articles are
recognized and Legitimate subjects of
Interstate commerce. This decision
"as rendered in IL case involving the
;alIdity of measures adopted by Ger
cain states TO prohibit the entry Of
liquor within their borders. IL related
particularly to shipments of liquor
from Indiana into kentucky, and the
decision of the court left no grounds
whatever for supposing that State or
local prohibition laws could be made
effective in preventing shipments from
nonprohibltion States into those that
nave enacted prohibition statutes.
The decision has an important bear
ing on the powers of the interstate
commcrcc commission. in the argu-
ment of the case it had been urged
that the shippers involved ought to
have taken the case TO the Interstate
commerce commission for a accession by
that body as TO the duties of the rail
ways in the premises, but this arsu-
ment found no justification whatever
in the decision of the court. That deci-
sion held that, as validity of laws were
at issue In the case, judicial tribunals
were the proper ones to assume juris-
diction therein.
Jurisdiction of the Interstate com
mercc Commission was held to be pure
~ administrative and could only have
proper sway where administrative
questions and matters of fact We're
involved. but courts are proper au-
thoritics to assume jurisdiction where
questions of law are involved. THIS
may have considerable weight In ad-
iusting the relative Jurisdictions OF the
Interstate Commerce Commission and
the Interstate Commerce court in a
number Of cases which are now at is
sue and in which the commerce court
has ovsrruled the position taken BY the
commission in the first instance.
The decision definitely determines.
however. the duties of railways re-
garding shipments furnished them For
transportation. They have nothing
whatever to do with the articles al
ter they have been delivered to the
consiSnee to which they We're con-
signed, nor of what disposition may be
made OF them, whether that disposition
may ne legal or an Illegal one with
ing the boundaries of the State In
which the delivery of the goods has
been made. This decision relieves rail
ways from all responsibility on that
point

NEW ENGLAND AND
The SOUTH TODAY
Paternalism i'll New England
Nills-Prcscnt Conditions
i'll the Great South.
THE PAST AND THE PRESENT
Housing and Living Conditions
Better Down South Than
Up in the North
BY w. J. LAuCI<.

1t has been popular among some
writer's aud observers to criticize the
existing working and living conditions
OF Southern cotton mill operatives. The
claim has been made that the system
OF mil! villages. company stores. and
the general supervision of the life Of
the mill workers is paternalistic and
opposed 10 the real and independent
interests of labor.
II is true that there are many OPP
portunities for Improvement in the
working and living conditions OF
southern cotton mill workers. On the
hrisen out of the character of the labor
supply and the general industrial sit
uht!on in the south y similar situa-
ton in New England in the early de-
velopmcnt OF the cotton goods manu-
featuring industry IN that section pro-
duced conditions of employment and
Of living arrangements like those
which are found in the South at the
pre- sent time. As II matter OF fact
there was much greater paternalism
among the New England employers OF
sixty years ago than is now charac-
tcristic OF the Southern mill owners.
Early New England Operatives.
The first employees for the New Eng
land cotton mills, as in the South at
the present time, were secured almost
exclusively from the farm and village
population Immediately adjacent to
the early cotton goods manufacturing
centres. These employees consisted in
the main of the children of farmers.
usually the daughters, who went to
work in the mills for the purpose of
assisting their families or in order
to lay aside sums for their own
dowrics. The young women, as a
rule, were attractive, well educated.
and the Young men sober, intelligent
and reliable.
At the time OF the establishment of
the mills-about 1S13--therc was a
strong prejudice against tho so-called
factory system because of the condi-
tions which prevailed among the cot
ton mill operatives in Great Britain.
AS a consequence, the chief endeavors
of the promoters of the industry. af-
ter erecting the cotton mills. was to
secure housing and living conditions
under such restrictions as would war
rant the parents of New England in
permitting their sons and daughters,
to enter the mills. This policy was
successful, and sufficient labor rapidly

NIP CHINESE CONSPIRACY.
Plot to Loot City Is Spoiled by
Authorities.

Tien-tsin. Aug. IA conspiracy to
seize and loot the town of Ching-Ting,
16e miles southwest of Pekin. on the
Pekin Railway, by mutinous soldiers has
been frustrated, according to advices re-
ceived here to-day.
The plot, which was purely local, was
revealed through the arrest and execu-
ton of five ringleaders OF the mutineers
who had assassinatd Chang Khie
Vigilance of troops recently sent to
Ching-Ting by President Yuan Shi Kai
prevented the. loot of the town.
Gen. Chang was killed by bomb while
being carried through the streets In a
paIanquin. Two of the coolies were
killed at the same time.
This was to have been the signal for
the uprising. However. the local troops
Immediately took possession of the
streets, and so formidable were their
numbers that the mutineers were awed
into submission.
A small escort of troops who were fol-
lowing the palanquin seized the bomb
thrower and his companions after they
had fed into a nearby house. They
revealed the names of three other leaders
in the catal All five were taken to the
barracks. where they were questioned.
They were then shot to death. A procla-
nation was subsequently issued threaten
ing death to any and all who questioned
the authority of the republican govern
ment or broke the peace of any COM
munity.

MANN ATTACKS
RECORD OF HOUSE
Says Session Has Resulted in Few
and Unimportart
Laws.

In a statement issued yesterday Rep
resentative James r. Mann OF Illinois,
the Republican leader, characterized the
Democratic majority OF the House as in
efficient disorganIzed. unprogressive, and
inactive. Reviewing the work of the
session. Mr.. Mann charged that the
work Of the House Democrats in the
main was 'silly' and to this he added
the assertion that. whereas. the Dem
ocrats boasted OF economy. they
had actually been guilty of many acts
Of extravsgance.
The main work in the House on the
part OF the Democrats has been a con-
slant boasting of what they were going
to do at the next session. I said last
December that this session of Congress
would last longer and do less than any
other regular session Of recent years.
NV forecast proved correct. This ses-
sion OF Congress has enacted laws fewer
in number and of less Importance than
any session in recent years. The laws
We have passed are. in the main. of lit
tie Importance and generally local in
character.
The Panama bill Is the one of great
est importance and in the main that was
a bill prepared by me in a prior Congress
The claimed reformation of the rules
has proved a farce. That the House has
been inefficient is shown by the fact
that more than 800 Senate bills remain
unacted on In the Senate. It Is a con-
slant boast that the Democrats at this
session passed a law providing for pub
licity Of campaign contributions. Such
Is not the fact. They only passed an
amendment to the law which had pre-
viously been passed by a Republican
House, and the principal part of IL is
one relating to primary campaign ex-
penses, and that was considered in the
law by the Republicans of the House
against the protest of the Democratic
side. Somewhat similar Is the bill relat-
ing to eight hour labor, which Is only an
amendment of a previous law involving
only a slight change in the previous
law" Representative Mann gave to the
Taft administration credit for all the
good legislation passed at the recent
session.
