SCORE Of STATE LAWS
MAY Be PASSED upon
important Decisions by the
Supreme Court Are
Expected.

With more than 100 cases under con-
sideration. the Supreme Court Of the
United States is expected to hand down
many important decisions today.
More light may be shed on the antitrust
problem by decisions in the St Louis
bridge case, the hard COAL suit against
the principal anthracite coal carrying
railroads and coal producing companies OF
Pennsylvania, and the cotton corner
case, arising out of transactions on the
New York Cotton Exchange.
The validity of several federal laws
may be determined. Foremost among
these is the employers liability law. which
has been under considerat on by the
court since last February. A second de-
cision may be rendered regarding the
validity of the "Carmack amendment" to
the interstate commerce laws. whereby
initial carriers were made liable for dam
ages or loss of goods whether occurring
on their lines or those Of connecting car
riers.
State Laws May Be Decided.
The fate of score or more of state
laws may be decided. or these, the con
stitutionality Of the Oregon initiative and
referendum system has attracted the
most attention, because the ruling Of the
court will be applicable to laws in nearly
half the states Of the Union.
Foreign corporation laws OF Kansas,
New York and Texas may be pas /
upon. Other laws under considera ion
are the Hours of service law for rail-
road employees in the state Of Wa hing
ton, the Missouri antitrust law. the
North Dakota drainage law; the Kansas
BLACK powder law. the New York
transfer tax law, the Montana law tax
ing hand laundries. the North Carol ma
law regulating the receipt OF goods b.
railroads. and the Arkansas law reQuir-
ing railroads to pay within thirty days
claims for live stock killed by trains.
Several general questions OF law may
be decided. such as the validity OF the
transfer of allotted lands by thousands
of Oklahoma Indians, and the liability of
insurance companies for policies on the
lives of men executed for murder. The
latter point arose in the case OF Samuel
j. McCue. mayor of Charlottesville. Va.
who was executed in 1905 for the murder
of his wife
