Into Former Decision

Dealing with the alleged violation of the Sherman antitrust law todays opinion says there was a formal charge against both defendants under said antitrust act, but that the oral argument left the court under the. impression that these charges were not much insisted on by the govern ment. The courts understanding was that what was desired was q decision on the alleged violation of the commodities clause on which todays dismissal is based and for this reason the court deems it needless to discuss the evidence bearing upon the charge of restraining or monop- olizing commerce, and adds, If We are mistaken ill this suppostion the error can easily be corrected
 The opinion. in conclusion. says that a decree may be entered dismissing the bill, but that the dismissal will be without prejudice to the fsoveriment's right tc begin a second proceeding, if the situation changes in the future and affords the government grounds to assert that the affairs of two corporations have become unlawfully identified.

from financial and enjoyable stand
point was that given by the ROYAL

Fellows hall. Too much cannot he
said In praise of the delightful pro-
gram and each and every number was
most enthusiastically eucored Music
was furnished all evening BY the W.

ioyed. Much credit is due Mr.. Lynn

as captain, drilled the team. The
Figures were all quite difficult and
very pretty and received great out
bursts OF applause and praise. Mrs.

FOR reading and so well did she
perform her part that she was call
ed upon for second recitation.
The male quartette composed OF
Messrs Birdsall, Vorbeck, Bullock.
aud Price was above the average and
received their share OF praise. Misses
Helen Nanderwerf and Mable Terrill
gave delightful piano and violin
duet and We're compelled to respond
again. Mrs. Fred Huntsman
was as usual aost pleasing in her
whistling solo and such a storm OF
applause followed that she responded
to two encores. Mrs. Huutsman is
always thoroughly enjoyed and her
gracious manner in responding
makes her very popular with her au-
dience. Mrs. Harry Sage followed
with reading and was loudly re
.ceived. The recitation by little Miss
Orville Else was one of the pleasing
numbers and this little Miss had
to be placed on chair in order to
be seen. The flag drill and song by
twelve girls was very pleasing and
handled in an admirable manner.
After the last number OF this very
satisfactory program ice cream and
cake was served to almost 400

CANALC0NTRACT
MAY AFFECT new
WAGE DEMANDS.
Claim Made That Cost TO GOY-
eminent Would be Big if
Increase Granted,

That an increase in wages, if
granted to High Line employees at
this time. would materially affect
the bidding on the 30-mile canal
contract aud probably cause an add
ed cost to the government of several
thousand dollars. The statement is
made that in case the present scale
OF wages is increased and the con
tractors have to make their esti-
mates on that basis that they will
import several hundred foreigners TO
do the work in preference to en-
ploying home men.
It was stated yesterday on appar-
entity excellent authority that some
of the larger contractors who are
figuring on the big ditch job have
consistently used jap and Greek la
Dor for several years. getting their
men TIN ough the Japanese Contract
Company, and L. G. Skliris, both OF
Salt Lake City. The Rio Grande
gets its section men largely from
the same source.
The wage negotiations, however,
are going forward and a committee
from the Trades and Labor Assem-
bly, is working on the matter with
some hope of success.

Sprinp Song


There's a whisper in the street
Through the din of passing feet.
Just a fragrant. vagrant murmur on
the spring wind borne along.
Breathed from fern-wet fores,
bushes
Where the frail aTbutus bushes
Mingled clear from swamp-sweet
rushes
With distant thrush's song.
There's smoke-spread, sun-warmed
haze
On the dingy city ways,
Just a lazy, hazy yelling i'm a blue-in-
folding blur
trept from reedy lowland sedges
Through the white-starred wayside
hedges
Past the hemlocks on their lodges
BY the edges wind-astir.
Spring has loitered in the street
Mid the throng of needless feet.
Biossom-laden gypsy maiden
through the grimy buildings
train;
Mid the cries of hucksters vending,
City tumult never-ending.
Song of forest reaches blending
Woodland vending through the rain.
