The supreme court of the Un-
tied States has affirmed the title
of twenty acres of land adjoining
the railroad right of way to the
Oregon Short Line railway CON-
pany. This would appear to
practically settle the litigation
that has been carried on for seven
years by A. r. Stalker, Luther
Snyder and others to quiet the
title in their names, but the rail-
road company has gained their
point. The history of the case
csrriss one back to the early days
when the railroad secured grant
to this property from the govern
ment, at the same time they Sc
cured their 2O0-foot right of way
The grant was disputed, and set
tiers filed on the same land, one
Finger having claim on the land
in question. Since that time the
land has changed hands, one set
tier disposing Of his disputed title
to another, The twenty acres lies
east Of Meridian, starting from
Bird street, and includes the mead.

Samuel Gompers, of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor. went before the Demo-

Mr.. Gompers says:
THE bill goes further by far than any

further than any compensation act in any
