recognize alocal union, it is said, but
would not deal with the Amalgamated
Association of Street Railway En-
ployes OF America, or employ anyone
who is member Of the organization
1t is understood that this stand is
taken by the company because of al
legged past experiences of the com
pany. Late this afternoon the street
car men rejected this last offer of the
company The conferees adjourned
at 2.15 until tonight.
The labor leaders were called into
the conference and heard the ultima.
tum OF the company, it is laid, and
later went to the labor hall to put
the proposition up to the men for final
action.

members of the city council. public
service committee, the board of gov
ernors of the board of trade, mayor,
che county sheriff, Adjutant General
Foster President Drew of the board
of trade, and the officers of the Trac-
tion company assembled at the board
of trade rooms and reopened the dis
cussion of the trouble between the
strikers and the company. At II am.
the leaders of the strikers were called
in and the company's final PROPOSE
tlon was read to them There was
but lietle discussion when the union
men left the conference to put the
proposition before the strikers
Cars ran over the company's lines
today, but were not occupied. No Sc
rious attacks were reported on any
of the cars up to late hour this after
noon.
Result of Conference.
The result of the Saturday evening
mittee and the officials of the trac-
tion company, was that the company
granted two of the demands of the
strikers. The increase in wages was
to become effective on the 10th of this
month, and all trainmen discharged
for joining the union, were to be TAX
en- back by the company.
When the committee returned to
the board of trade with his report 1t
was hoped that the trouble would be
brought to close. To insure the
strikers of the good faith of the COM
pany Governor Gilchrist asked Presi-
dent Baldwin to give the committee
check for the increase in wages
from the 10th Of this month untir
January 1. This was done. How
ever, when the report was made to
the strike leaders, they declined to

More Meetings.

When this ultimatum was issued,
the committee arranged for an addi

Nothing was accomplished. The strik-

FREEDOM OF THE PRESS.

discussion that as Congress has deter
mined that it was prejudicial to the
public welfare for newspapers to be
circulated through the mails without
the. ownership and their circulation
being published, the judiciary was
powerless to hold that this assumption
of police power was in. violation of the
Constitution.
The question, however, again came
up in a different form in the well
known Lottery cases t1SS e. S. 321),
which were argued three times before
the supreme court before final de-
cisfon was reached. In that case the
writer of this opinion, as Assistant
Attorney General argued as a part of
his contention that as the power of
the Federal Government over inter
state commerce was plenary, il had
the power to determine what should
and what should not be carried in the
channels of interstate commerce and
that when IT had determined that the
interstate carriage of given merehan
disc was unconstitutional. such dec
laration was final and could not be re-
viewed by the judiciary. After three
az SuiiieItA, the eoufl nelu that DIS lhs
merchandise under consideration WAS
lottery literature and that as il was
immoral, Congress had a right to deny
TO ii the facilities of either the mail or
of interstate commerce. But the
court, to prevent any undue extension
of the doctrine thus announced, went
on TO disclaim any power on the part
OF Congress to
arbitrarily exclude from com
merce among the states any art
icle. commodity or thing of what
ever kind or nature or however
useful or valuable. which it may
choose no matter with what motive
10 declare shall not be carried
from one State to another"

ion as to how far the judiciary could

plieation to the Federal Government,
and not being thus delegated, sucn
right of regulation was under the
Tenth Amendment expressly reserved
to the states.
Even though the executive depart
ment of the Government should here
after construe this law only to have
reference TO such newspapers as are
given to the Post Office Department
for circulation. the fact remains that
the conditions upon which such circu-
lation are offered by the statute have
no proper relation either to the car
rage of the mails or to any other fed
eral fupction.
! have reached this conclusion upon
the fundamental question of the lack
of federal power, but it might also be
rested upon the express limitation of
the Constitution. which provides that
Congress shall make no law
abridging the freedom of
speech or of the PRESS
1t will be noted that this prohibition
is not against the destruction of the
freedom of the press but the "abridge-
ment" of the freedom of the press. II
the federal government had any gen
eral power, under the pretense of
regulating the mails, to regulate jour
nalism, can ii abridge the freedom, of
the press by prohibiting the publica-
ton of a newspaper unless the owner
will publish the fact of such owner
ship and the extent of its circulation?
While it is not necessary to express
an opinion upon this point, it is GER
tainly open to discussion whether the
right of publication can thus be
abridged.
For the reasons given, am of opin-
ion that the law as a whole is uncon-
stitutional and void and am confident
that if the question We're tested, the
District Court of the United States y
in any event the Supreme Court of the
United States, would so decide

review the motive with which dele
gated federal power was exercised, the
court added this pointed admonltlon:
I'VE may. however, repeat in
this connection what the Court has
heretofore said, that the power of
Congress to regulate commerce
among the States, although pien-
airy, cannot be deemed arbitrary
since it is subject to such limita-
tons or restrictions as are pre-
scrbed by the Constitution. This
power, therefore, may not be eX-
ercised so as to infringe rights Sc
cured or protected by that instru-
ment 1t would not be difficult to
imagine legislation that would be
justly liable to such an objection
as that stated and be hostile to
the objects for the accomplish
ment of which Congress was IN
vested with the general power 20
regulate commerce among the
several States If what is
done by Congress Is manifestly In
excess of the powers granted to
it, then upon the Courts will rest
the duty of adjudging that its ac-
ton Is neither legal nor binding
upon the people.
In Public Clearing House VS.. Coyne
G94 u. s., 497), an Act which vested
in the Postmaster General the power
To determine whether the mail of
business concern was fraudulent, was
sustained, but in the later case of
American School of Magnetic Healing
VS.. McAnnulty a97 Z. s., 94) it was
held that the Postmaster General
could not arbitrarily exclude mail mat
ter but that he could only do SO on the
due entertainment of facts which
were within the meaning of the Act of
Congress excluding fraudulent matter
from the mails.
It must be emphasized however,
that in all the cases above referred TO.
the power of exclusion was based upon
grounds of public morality, and while
it is not easy to draw logical dis
tinction between the power to exclude
immoral or fraudulent matter and the
power to exclude matter that is other
wise prejudicial to the public welfare,
yet this distinction has been recog
nized by the supreme court.
The doctrine of the cases above re-
ferred to goes no further than Con-
gress in its ample power to regulate
both the mails and the channels of in
terstate trade, can exclude from either
anything which it can reasonably re-
public welfare. 1t can exclude lot
terry matter because of its assumed
denoralizing influence. 1t can ex
clude indecent matter because it is in
trinsically immoral by any standard
of morality. 1t can generally exclude
dynamite because its carriage without
due precautions is a menace to prop
erty.
The delicate question therefore re-
mains how far this power to deter
mine what is prejudieial to the public
welfare can justify a refusal to carry
through the mails or through inter-
state commerce a thing not because ii
is intrinsically dangerous or immoral
but because it is not conducted b.
methods which have no direct relation
either TO the mails or interstate com
merce. 1t cannot matter in any prae
teal sense to the Post Office Depart
ment whether it carries a newspaper
with the name of the publisher upon it
