II am not speaking for myself but am
voicing the sentiment of the whole Amer
lean Federation Of Labor when I say
that sweeping investigation should be
made into the circumstances surround
| ing the disaster. Whether this probe
should be conducted by the government
| or by the State Is simply a side issue:
It would appear to me that 1t is a mat
ter coming under the Jurisdiction of the

Secretary Morrison stated that thus
| far no communication had been received
| by MIN or by President Samuel G0mpers,
Of the Federation of Labor, in coanec-
| tion with the Calumet disaster. He
added that the matter would be given
thorough attention today.
Secretary Of Labor william B. Wilson
received a telegram yesterday from Presi-
dent Meyer, OF the Western Federation
OF Miners, giving details of the disaster
and urging national and State investiga-
tion. Secretary Wilson said last night:
.I shall take no action upon this tele-
gram until have conferred with the
chiefs of my department The principal
things for US to do are. first, to determine
whether this is a matter belonging under
the Jurisdiction of the State or the Fed
eral government, or both. l am inclined
to think that this is a State issue solely.
but will look into the matter the first
thing in the morning"
A similar statement was made by Dr.
Joseph A. Holmes, Of the Department of
Mining
No communication was received yester-
day at the White House in connection
with the disaster, contrary to the report
that President Meyer had wired the Pres
ident.
The consensus OF opinion here is that
the loss OF life at Calumet is a matter for
the State authorities.
Paul II. MacNeil. architect of the struc-
ture where the disaster occurred, who is
now in Washington. yesterday blamed the
wild panic of those present for the loss
OF life.
Mr.. MacNeil stated that the building
was equipped with fire escapes amplel
enough to have eliminated the death jam
in the hall.

YULETIDE SPIRIT SHOWN
BY PRISONERS IN JAIL

The spirit of Christmas penetrated the
cold. damp walls and flooded the darkest
cell of the District Jail with its tidings of
peace and good fellowship. Merry
Christmas" echoed up and down the
dreary stone corridors. Maybe some OF
those poor unfortunates. now wearing
the garb of penal servitude, thought of
Christmas days in the past when. as little
tots. they rushed down stairs in the morn
ing to see the many goodies Santa Claus
had prOvided-or, maybe. they didn't think
anything of the kind. but Of the unpleas-
ant toll which would be their lot on the
morrow. after a day of leisure.
Activities were suspended in the jail
yesterday by Superintendent l. F. link
han, and a Christmas dinner, consisting
of roast pork, sweet potatoes, mince pie,
and pudding. was served to the colony of
nearly 700 prisoners. Services were con-

Shoe CONCERN SUIT
ATTRACTS attention
Involves Question Of Damages to Be
Paid When One Firm Adopts
Another's Trade Name.
HAS GONE TO HIGHER COURT

There is unusual interest here in the
suit of the Wolf Bros. Company, a shoe
manufacturing concern in Cincinnati,
against the Hamilton-Brown Shoe Com
pany, of st. Louis, which has been or
dered up for review by the Supreme Court
on a writ OF certiorari TO the Federal
Circuit Court of Appeals. which gave the
Cincinnati firm judgment against the
st. Louis firm of nearly 10000 for dam
ages resulting from alleged unfair trade.
Lawrence Maxwell, of Cincinnati, former
Solicitor General in President Clevelands s
administration, is representing the Gin
cinnati firm, and former Senator Joseph
W. Baileyl of Texas, will appear for the
St Louis firm.
This case, along with others involving
phases of unfair trade" so called, is
expected to result in making more definite
the rules of business competition within
the law. Patent and trademark lawyers
and business firms interested in removing
all doubt as to what protection the laws
give through trademarks and trade
names are intensely interested in the
case.
In the shoe company case the st. Louis
firm was adjudged TO have practiced ''un-
fair trade methods with its Cincinnati
competitor by putting on the market
type of women's shoe under a name that
so closely resembled the name that had
been employed for many years by the
Cincinnati firm, and by which it was
claimed they had built up big trade,
that the court decided it was calculated
to deceive the public
In awarding the damages the court be-
low gave judgment for all of the profits
made by the st. Louis firm out of the
shoe in the four years it had been, on the
market The St. Louis firm admitted in
the court below that the name II en-
ployed was calculated TO mislead and
practically admitted unfair trade, but OBJ
jected to the measure Of damages. The
lawyers for the St. Louis firm insisted
that a fair measure of damages would
have been a sum equal TO the loss of
business profits proved to have. been sus-
tained by the Cincinnati firm by reason
of copying their trade name
The interest in having the rule of dam
ages more clearly defined is not confined
to those seeking protection from infringe
ments or copying of their trade symbols,
but is felt also by manufacturers and
dealers who realize that in the wide rami-
fcations of business affairs the careless
copying of anothers trade name or sym-
Dol may happen at most any time, and
they naturally shrink at the prospect of
losing the profits of business covering
many years simply because they may un-
trespass on anothers trade
preserves.

Mystic Power of Christmas
Overcomes Dourness Of
Cold Rainy Day.
OFFICIALS OUT OF TOWN
Midnight Masses and Other Church
Services Draw Large
Crowds.

Only Christmas could have got away
with that weather. When Washington
awoke to the day we celebrate every
that every passing moment of the glad
Yuletide brought gloomier prospects from
skies that should have been at Their
best, individual depression approached
social despair. Sullen clouds, the wettest
rain that the Capital has suffered in
many day, and a cold east wind which
nipped every eager celebrant as soon as
they popped their head out of doors were
the glooms which the spirit Of good Will
and cheer had to overcome, and moth
ing less than the mystic power of Christ
mas would have prevailed over these
enemies of joy.
The Community Christmas Tree fortu-
nately had served its purpose under fitting
conditions, and the general cheer it had
spread Itarted the city properly on its
day of festivities, and If a Green Christ
mas" of the particular dark green shade
that prevailed yesterday did not come up
to the expectations of the proponents OF
the good old-fashioned white Christ
mas, at least the dreary, driZziing rain
made crate fires, turkey dinners, and
sundIy steaming beverages almost as
acceptable as if a blizzard was raging
outside.
Official Washington spent its Christ
mas away from the Capital, for the most
part. The President reached Pass

The churches drew large crowds at all
services. The service that attracted prob
ably the most notable official gathering
was the midnight mass sung at the
Bethlehem GrottO at the Franciscan
Monastery. Among those who attended
were Joseph +. Tumulty, secretary to
the President, and his family; the Aus
