many members contended the question
would result in long litigation.
The restrictions placed about the
issuance of injunctions in the bill are
close. 1t would provide that no pre-
liminary injunction shall be issued
without notice to the opposite party"
and that no temporary restraining or
der shall be issued unless 1t shall APP
pear from specific facts shown by affi-
davit that immediate and irrepara BILE
injury will result to property or a
property right of the applicant before
notice could be served or hearing had
thereon. The bin provides that every
injunction or restraining order must
be specific in terms, thus outlawing
the so-called blanket injunction"
In labor disputes injunctions would
be forbidden by the bill unless neces-
sary to prevent irreparable injury to
property or a property right for
which injury there is no adequate rem
edy at law. 1t would also forbid in
functions against striking, peaceful
pfcketing, primary boycotts, the pay
ment of strike benefits, or the peace

tains a provision legaliZing such acts.
The holding companies provision of the
act would prevent one company from ac-
quiring an ystock in another corporation
where the effect of such acquisition Is
to eliminate or substantially lessen COM
petition between the corporations, or to
create a monopoly" The provision ex-
empts, however, corporations purchasing
stock solely fer investment. and not at
tempting to lessen competition.
The interlocking directorates prohibit
ton in the bill is an effort to reach all
corporations. railroad and banks over

banks in the same city or town. The
provision becomes elective t"o SeetiS
after the passage of the law, and ex-
empts the directors of mutual savings

The bill revises the proceedings in con-
tempt of court cases. In contempts other
than those committed lin the presence
of the court or so near thereto as TO OBJ

bill provides the machinery for trial
by jury as in criminal practice.

thorized to investigate and report the
facts relating to any alleged violations

would also recommend possible readjust-
ments of the business of corporations so
investigated in order that they might
conduct their business in accordance with
the law. When the commission finds in
formation as to any unfair competition
or practice in commerce, not necessarily
constituting a violation of the law" it

into two sections in order that one
might stand if the constitutionality of
the other failed in the courts. The bill
makes it unlawful for any common
carrier to issue stocks, bonds, notes
or other evidence of Indebtedness
without the approval of the commits
sion.
Before issuing stocks or bonds the
bill would require railroads to file
with the Commission a certificate of
notification, showing in detail the
character of the securities, the pur-
poses for which they are to be issued.
and the disposition to be made of
them. Such certificates the bill makes
public record and open to inspection.
The bill would give the commission
wide authority for the examination Of
the books of railroads and would pro-
vide penalties for the concealing of
information from the commission.
Supervising Securities
Giving the commission authority to
supervise issues of securities the bill
said:
1T shall be unlawful for any COM
mon carrier subject to the act to reg
ulate commerce, to issue any capital
stock or certificate of stock or any
bond or other evidence of indebted
ness or to assume any obligation as
lessor, guarantor, or surety for the
securities of any person, natural or
artificial even though permitted by
the authority creating the carrier cor
poration, except for some purpose
within it's corporate powers necessary
TO the proper performance of its SER
vice for the public and not tending to
impair the financial ability of the car
rier to discharge its duty to the pub
lie
1T shall likewise be unlawful to is
sue any such stocks or bonds for this
purpose hereinbefore mentioned or
FOR any other purpose unless and I'M
til application and after investigation
in the premises by the Interstate Com
merce Commission of the purposes and
use of the issue and the proceeds
thereof, such issue is approved by said
commission as necessary and appri-
pirate for the purpose stated: Provid-
ed: That nothing herein shall be con-
strued to imply any guaranty or OBJ
legation as to such issues on the part
of the United States.''
The bill exempts from this provision
notes maturing not more than two
years after their issue, when they do
not aggregate more than per cent.
of the outstanding obligations of the
issuing roads.
The measure provides that the com

The sisters obtained admission to the
court in the ordinary way through ap-
plication to the lord chamberlain's de-
partment.
Intimate friends of Miss Mary Blom-
field knew that she had strong militant
suffragette tendencies, but none of them
had dreamed that she would go to the
extreme of interrupting such a customa-
rily dignifed function as a royal draw
ing room.
The father of the Misses Bloomfield
was a well known architect; their grand
father was the late Dr. Bloomfield, bishop
of London.
Lady Bloomfield. who attended the
drawing room, explains that she was
looking after a married friend whom she
was presenting and that she saw moth
ing of her daughters action.
Palace officials were so anxious to hush
the matter up that they specially init
mated today their desire that no further
publicity should be given TO the Incl
dent. and the lord chamberlain's office
refused to discuss it.
The recent discourtesies shown by Mil
liant Suffragettes to the King and the
Burning down of many churches have
infiamed public opinion TO remarkable
degree. The British people have been
still further incensed by what is regard
ed as the well grounded belief that much
of the work o. destruction is done by
hired hands Cases have even been re-
ported of women leaving other employ
ment in order to join the militants, not
from love of the cause but because the
pay is better"

London, June 5.-The yachting re-

estimates that Shamrock ", Sir
Thomas Lipton's new challenger for

about four minutes to the biggest of

an unnamed American yachtsman who

prove to be faster than any of them.
In this case much will depend on the
question of time allowance.
