A study or the above coIumn-Decom-
es doubly interesting when it is seen
that every one of the occupations
given is unprotected by tariff In
all classes of labor in this country,
the American wage and the Amer
ican standard" is reality except in
those classes controlled by the tariff
trusts. The trusts make all the
noise about protecting" American la
Dor. and yet it is only the unprotect-
ed labor of this country which really
enjoys an advantage over the labor
of Europe in the matter of wages.
The Democrats have proven at this
session of Congress that the tariff
trusts share none of their loot with
their own laborers, and the watch
trust slipped cog when it cited
the high wages of unprotected Amer
ican workers as a reason for main
tanning the present high tariff on
watches.

VIOLATING SAFETY LAW

TOLEDO, o.. Feb. 17.--Judge Xii
Its, in decision handed down today,
holds that the federal safety appii-
ance law is unconstitutional. The
court overrules the motion of the Ann
Arbor railway to the petition of the
government which asked that the
road be compelled to pay 500 for
violating the law.
Thirteen different cases were be-
fore the court and most OF them were
for more than one violation. IL was q
surprise when. counsel for the rail-
ways, five OF them, entered court and
entered pleas of guilty. The special
agents OF government were preparing
TO fight the defendants. The violation
to which the railway representatives
pleaded guilty include charges that
various cars we're not provided with
safe handles and that there were de-
fects in air brake apparatus.
The infractions of the law took
place between Toledo, Detroit and
Cincinnati.

HOUSE G0MMHHH=FtAYSS
SUGAR TRUST, ASKS THAT
COMBINES Be HELD IN CHECK
Believes Monopoly Keeps Up
Price of Commodity, But
Does Not Suggest Remedy
CONDEMNS HAVEMEYER
Legislation Is Within Jurisdic-
tion of Other Committees,
Says Report

WASHINGTON, Feb. 17.-Assail-
ing the system by which the old sugar
trust overwhelmed its competitors,
but refusing TO recommend legisla-
tion which might curb abuses OF a
similar nature In the future on the
ground that such was solely within
the Jurisdiction of the standing COM
mittees OF the house, the Hardwick
sugar trust investigating committee
today reported its findings to the
house.
AS TO the effect OF the combine on
the cost of sugar to the consumer,
the committee expresses the belief
that monopoly keeps the price up, but
makes no attempt to fix accurately
the extent to which reasonable prices
that might exist under competitive
conditions are exceeded.
The report severely condemns the
original promoters of the sugar trust,
but describes the 10000 present own
ers OF the stock of the American Su-
gar Refining Co. as innocent pur-
chasers" OF profitable stock which was
unloaded on them by the few men
who organized the sugar trust.
Henry o. Havemeyer is given credit
for the organization of the combina-
ton. and of him the report says:
That this colossal speculation has
come through with success and today
stands on an established business
basis is due to the genius OF its archi-
tect rather than TO any of the restrain
ing powers of society as expressed in
law"
The committee declared that it was
unable to agree TO the "forceful argu-
ments" that big business needed COM
bines. After discussing the history Of
the industry, the committee outlined
the following evils. Aside from the
primary one of sitting competition
which it declared seemed to demand
careful consideration and remedial
legislation by congress:
Original over-capitalization OF great
industrial corporations resulting In in
creased cost OF production, II a profit

AIH9 GREEN PUTS UP $4,000
TO SECURE THE RELEASE OF
LOCAL DYNAMITE SUSPEcTS|
Bail Comes From Unexpected
Source Just as Attorney Had
About Given Up Hope
GREEN MAKES STATEMENT
"Often Much Injustice in Hold
ing Men In Jail Until
Trial." He Says

Arrangements were completed, ear
ly Saturday afternoon, for the release
OF Frank j. Murphy and Charles
Wachmeister, the structural iron
workers; arrested, Wednesday, on .
charge OF being implicated with So
others in the alleged country-wido
dynamiting conspiracy, on bonds
secured through the assistance Of An
drew IL. Green, generalmanager OF
the Solvay Process Co. The men. who
have been confined In the county jail
since their arrest, will again be with
their families tonight
Mr.. Green's aid came at a time
when Attorney A. EntenZa and the.
labor leaders who have been assist
ing him in the effort to obtain bail
for the indicted men had just about
given up hope of freeing them. and
was none the less welcome because
II was not expected from such =
source. Mr.. Green, 1t will be recall
ed, was one of the foremost advocates
of the proposed Thompson-Hutchins
franchise, which the union labor
forces, led by Mr.. Entenza and
others were largely instrumental In
defeating. He gave freely Of his time
and money to secure the adoption or
the franchise, and he was the last
man to whom Mr.. EntenZa looked for
aid in the bail matter. In fact, 1t Is
doubtful If Mr.. Green was even con-
sidered In this matter.
To EntenZa's great astonishment.
Mr. Green called at the latter's ONCE
in the Union Trust building, SATURDAY.
morning, and after conference, made
out a check for $4,000 on q local
bank, which he placed at the disposal
Of Mr.. EntenZa. Ii was supposed that
the government would accept cash
bail for the men, and Mr.. Entenza,
accompanied by Mr.. Green, at once
! hurried over to the federal building
to put the matter up TO District At
| torney Tuttle, who informed them
| that the government did not allow
| him to accept cash for such pur-
/ pose.
He pointed out, however, that any
surety company would go on the
bonds If the $4,000 were. depcsited AZ
security. Accordingly. Mr. Entenza
Immediately got in touch with Bur
tenshaw & Sibley, representing the
Empire State Security company. and
ARRANGEMENTS for the bail, $4,000 for
each man. were completed. Murphy
| and wachmeister were taken before
1 Commissioner Finney at o'clock,
when the necessary formalities were
carried out.
While in the district attorneys ,of-
flee, Mr.. Green freely expressed his
opinion as 10 what he thought or men
who would attempt to destroy prop
erty by the use OF dynamite, but did
