WILSON'S 7 BILLS
PASS The HOUSE

Trenton. y. J., Feb. 1S.-Objections
to seven antitrust bills fathered by
Governor Wilson came to him from
an unlocked for quarter today, when
a group of state labor leaders suggest
ed possibility that the bills might be
construed as affecting labor unions.
They called the governors attention to
a provision which would prohibit "any
combination. Or agreement between
two or more corporations, firms or per.
sons to create restrictions in trade,
limit production or increase prices"
The governor pointed out that the
act restricts persons dealing in com.
modities,'' and said the courts of New
Jersey had consistently held labor was
not a commodity, so there could be NO
application to the labor question.
Wilson's seven antitrust bills pass
ed the house this afternoon exactly in
the same form as they passed the sen
ate last week.

cause of Beating Admins
tered to Boy in 1898.

Harboring in his mind the memory
Of a trouncing administered him by
his father 19 years ago, Richard Hink-
ley, who left his home at the age of
five, yesterday broke the long silence
for the first time. Hot words were
exchanged between father and son
which resulted in the formers arrest
on a disorderly conduct charge, the
warrant being sworn out by the boy.
This morning in police court the
charges against the prisoner, Albert
Hinkley, were dismissed.
1t appears that when Richard was
five years Of age he ran away from
home and was lost over night. When
he returned TO his home, the father
beat the lad until his body was COW
cred with great welts. This happened
in Chicago. The authorities removed
the lad from his home and placed him
in an orphans home, contending that
the father was an improper guardian.
Some time afterward Richard was TAX
en- from the institution and since has
been making his home with relatives,
Father and son have met each 9th
er frequently. but during all this
time, the memory Of that beating years
ago has ranked in the sons mind and
he has steadfastly refused to recog
nize his father.
This morning the Judge asked the
young man II he would not return Il
reply his fathers home. NO" wal
the reply. II will never go back Il
him or speak to him. I can neve
forget the way he treated me when
was a boy"
The father, who is an aged man
upon hearing his sons words, bowe'
his gray head and breaking dow
completely, wept. The court dismiss
ed the charges.

WARNS OF OTHER DEMANDS.
THE managers committee wishes to
warn the public at this time of another

WAGES MAIN QUESTION.

The railroads have already expressed
a Willingness to raise wages, but not

wards, President Carter of the Broth
