LA TOILETTE AIMS TO
RESTORE COMPETITION

WASHINGTON, July Ex-senator
La Toilette has introduced a bill to
amend the Sherman anti trust law to
provide that when any person, firm
or corporation is held guilty of re-
,straint of trade the burden Of proof
to establish the reasonableness of
such restraint shall be upon the de-
PENDANT.
It further provides that any con-
Germ controlling more than 80 per
cent of the business of the United
States in any commodity would be
barred from claiming reasonable re-
straint.
One of the most radical provisions
in the measure authorizes the court
upon the preliminary or final estab-
lishment of the existence of an unreal
sonable combination to fix the price
at which the monopolized article
shall be sold.

||ULHALL EXPOSES
A. F. OF |. TRAITOR
Jacob Tazelaar, Former Close
Friend Of Gompers-Double
-: Crossed Him.

Colonel Mulhall, in addition to
telling of the corrupt methods en-
ployed by the National Association of
Manufacturers in defeating labor leg
islation, is also exposing a number
Of crooked labor men, some of whom
enjoyed the confidence of the officers
Of the American Federation of Labor.
Among those exposed, is Jacob
Tazelaar, formerly organizer of the
American Federation Of Labor, and,
who, at one time, had charge of the
Federation's New York office from
which Mr.. tGompers was telephoned,
when the attempt was made to bride
him, It is not Improbable that Mr..
Tazelaafs was in on the deal. --s-.-.-.-
Colonel Mulhall states that he util-
lied Tazelaar in the campaign against
Lewis in New Jersey, and to provoke
strike at Rumford Falls for politi-
cal purposes. He was said to have
kept Mulhall posted on the move
ments of the American Federation
Of Labor in politics.
Tazelaar enjoyed the confidence of
Mr.. Gompers for many years. He is
finished orator and was used on
many occasions in behalf of the
American Federation of Labor.
About a year ago, Mr.. Gompers
dropped him from the pay roll with
out giving any reason. He pretended
to be very much put out about it
and attended the last convention of
the. A. F. of L. for the purpose of
starting fight against Gompers.
However, he dropped this fight very
suddenly and much to the surprise
of the delegates to the convention.
1t is now believed that Mr.. Com
pers had become Informed of Tazel-
aar's movements. and let him out
without giving any reason, until he
was certain about his information.
Colonel Mulhall's testimony about
Tazelaar was undoubtedly known to
Mr.. Gompers at the time when Tazel-
aar was dismissed as an organizer.

Mr.. Bryan charged the government
only 81 a meal on the dining car no

cost. This 1881, moreover, covered
not only hotel and cab expenses and
tips to walters, but even kilograms

WELL IN BAY STATE
MASSACHUSETTS Legislature Enacta
Many Laws in Interest of
Working Glasses.

WORCESTER, Mass, July a.
The executive board of the Massa-
chusetts state branch at its last meet
ing received the final report of the
legislative committee.
This report contains a. resume of
the bills introduced, the efforts made
for their passage and the final re-
suits. Prominent among the laws Sc
cured were the eight-hour law for
public employees; nine hours for
children over fourteen and under Six
teen years of age, and the public
opinion bill that has been urged by
the labor unions for the last eight
years.
The public opinion law provides
that all questions of public policy
may be put on the ballot in a. sena-
torial district If 1900 VOTERS petition
for it and any representative district
if 200 voters petition for it.
Another measure gives the new
board OF labor and Industries, to-
gether with the industrial accident
board, increased powers for investt-
cation and the making of rules or
regulations for safety and health.
A uniform child labor law was
passed excluding thousands of child
rem from dangerous, unhealthful. and
demoralizing occupations. Provisions
was also made for widows left with
children, and although the amount of
the pension was not as high as de-
sired, it gives some relief.
The legislature passed two bills on
injunctions limiting the powers of the
courts in the issuance Of injunctions.
-Four bills went through, amending
the workmen's compensation act.

The Labor World has desire to be put in the
position of hen-peckng the city commissioners. We
know they have difficult tasks to perform, and they
all too the job to fully demonstrate what

We hesitated long time before writing the article

Of the majority of the commissioners sitting board

Former Manager Hatch when forced to resign

that the city commission had not up that time met

M0[DERS' union HIT
BY A00S|ER JUDGE.
Gives Verdict for $4,000 Damages
Against Union and Forbids
Picketing.

INDIANAPOLIS, July PA deci-
sion of far-reaching Importance was
rendered today by Special Judge
Thornton in the case of the striking
iron molders at the plant of the Key
less Lock company, an open-shop
factory, where non-unionists claim to
have been assaulted time and again
in an effort to force the shop to
unionize.
Judge Thornton held. that a union
may legally declare a strike to force
other men to become members, that
the plaintiff is entitled to damages
in the sum Of $4,000 for loss of bust
ness on account of the strike, and
that the union has no right to en-
ploy pickets at the plant for the DUR
pose Of intimidating non-union men
or forcing them to join the union.
The court went into the evidence,
finding that the union men had
used threats and violence on numer-
Gus occasions, that they had tried to
deter men from working for the COM
pany, that the union men were guilty
Of conspiracy to injure the PLAINTIFF
business, and that the plaintiff is en-
titled to recover damages as a result
of unlawful conspiracy
The members of the union were en-
Joined from any further acts to pre-
vent the plaintiffs from carrying on
their business as they may deem fit.

CEDAR RAPIDS STREET
RAILWAY MEN ORGANIZE

CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa, July a.
After many years of effort the Anal
gamated association Of street and
electric railway employees have or
ganized the traction company's lines
In this city.
The new organization starts off
with membership of 100, and pros
poets are bright for the organization
comprising every employe on the
road.
The local labor paper, The Tribune,
was primarily responsible for this or
ganization, in that it secured an inter-
view with the general manager Of the
company during a recent franchise
campaign, in which that official stat
ed he had no objections to the or
ganization of the employees on the
lines.

Neither was it contemplated that the commissioner
of public affairs should have all say about what
should be placed in the public library, nor what the
policy of the city should be with relation parks
He it is true, is expected to administer the affairs of
these institutions, but it is the commissioners
to map out the policies that should be pursued
What is of the other departments is also true
of the public safety division The public will long
tolerate onemanrule, matter how good or efficient
any commissioner may be- If the commissioners want
to sicken the people of the commission form of gov
eminent and to sicken them quickly, all they need
do is to keep their present policy of permitting each
commissioner to be absolute dictator of the affairs of
his division.
During the week of the daily papers intimated
there movement on foot among the friends Of
municipal ownership to initiate amendment to the
city charter for the creation Of water and light board
The friends of municipal ownership, and them
are advocating such amendment. They believe it
TO- be unnecessary All they want is that the present
commission shall do its duty and sit from time to
time water and light board, rather than to con-
tnue permitting the commissioner of public utilities
to act as the whole thing in the department.
If we are to have water and light board, why not
resurrect the library and park boards, even the
board OF public works? To do this might just
we'll back to the old ward system in it's entirety
But this must not be donenot yet at east-and there
will be call for it if the commissioners will now
before 1t too late out the spirit the charter
and take the place of the old boards as commission
and not as individual commissioners.
Our observations lead to say that the chief
criticism against the commissioners comes not SO much
from those who forced to obey certain laws but
rom people who dread man-poEer in any public
institution. The commissioners have it within their
power to remove this cause for criticism.

PHILADELPHIA, July 24.-No
group of railroads in this country can
make as good a showing Of earnings,
both gross and net, for the fiscal
year which ended June 80 last as the
eish: carriers which constitute tho
anthracite group. These railroads
are the Central of New Jersey, Della
ware e. Hudson, Lackawanna, Erie,
Lehigh Valley, Ontario & Western,
Susquehanna & Western, and Read
ing. The latest returns cover the
month Of May and the period Of
eleven months of the fiscal year. The
output Of anthracite last month was
just little short of the production
in June year ago, so it may DO
taken for granted that the net returns
for last month, which will complete
the fiscal year, will not vary much
from those Of the corresponding
month of last year, and a fair esti-
mate of the yearly earnings may be
based upon the returns for eleven
months.
Gross Earnings Increase.
In eleven months the gross earn
ings Of the eight anthracite carriers
were 1,17O,215. an increase Of
5,S3s,357, or about 1917 per cent
For the same period the net earn
ings Of the group were $9O,O53,163,
an increase Of s1s,479,514, or 20 per
cent. The only one of the eight
roads which made smaller net earn
ings in eleven months than last year
is the Susquehanna & Western. con-
trolled by the Erie, and this small
loss of s45,661 will probably be more

This increase In gross and net

DANIELS GENEROUS !,
NAVY WAGES RAISED.
New Secretary of Navy Recon-.
mends Wage Increase for
Navy Yard Employees.

WASHINGTON, July 24.-Follow-
ing a conference with the senate and
house committees on naval affairs,
Secretary Daniels of the navy depart
ment asserted that he felt it his duty
crease be granted the Washington
navy yard employees.
The naval appropriation bill pro-
vides $4,000 to be used for ord
nance and ordnance supplies, and this
item was inserted ins the appropria-s
ton bill after an investigation had
been made into the living conditions
Of the navy yard employees of the
District of Columbia.
AS the Washington navy yard is
the only one where ordnance and ord
nance supplies are manufactured,
Secretary Daniels has construed the.
law to mean that the Washington
navy yard employees are the only ones
to get the benefit of an increase un-
der the new law.
Accordingly the employees in the
Washington navy yard have been
granted an increase of 7.s per cent
in pay for the six months from July
1, 1913, to January I, 1914. A con-
ference of the commandments of all
the navy yards of the Atlantic coast,
with the exception of the command
ant of the Philadelphia yard, has
been held. azss
The chief subject under discussion
related to the wages in the several
navy yards. Secretary Daniels pro-
