The meeting was held in the hall of
the House OF Delegates. and there were
present a large number OF members. Of
both branches OF the General Assembly
and a gathering Of members OF the
Equal Suffrage League which taxed the
capacity Of floor and gallery. senator

said is only part of nationwide

Senator owen began the foundation
for the presentation of his progress
sivc gospel with a critical cXamina-
ton OF the forces that led to the fran
ing of the Constitution. According TO
1t the highest measure Of reverence he
nevertheless discerned in the provisions
of the instrument the crafty hand of
those who placed property rights be-
fore human rights
Not until the sons OF Virginia in the
Constitutional Convention refused to
give their sanction to a Constitution
that did not embody the elementary
human rights enumerated in the first
ten amendments. said Senator owen,

press, free speech, free religion, trial
by jury, and other rights included in
TIE instrument
Defects of Constitution.
Notwithstanding the amendment, tho
Constitution as finally drafted said
the speaker. retains many defects-the
chief one among them the difficulty
with which il may be amended. For
this failing, lie said, the country paid
horrible price in 1861 90.
The Constitution is SO framed as to
deny the people of this country any
voice In the control OF the Supreme
Court" said Senator owen Its voice
is absolute. and from its mandate there
is no appeal. We learned what this
meant in the bred Scott decision, from
which there was no recourse. except
by the sword: and the country chose
the sword"
The IIamiltonian crowd that wrote
the Constitution. he said, removed the
Supreme Court about I'VE degrees from
the people. Before the judges OF tho
Supreme Court can be appointed. there
must first he elected n President BE-

Railroad Men Insist on Change Of
Work Day From 10 70 8 Hours
Without Reduction In Pay.

Chicago, m.-Eighty thousand rail-
way employees, through their rep
resentatiyes, went on record here as
determined to strike If they do not
get the railroads to change the work
ing day from 10 to s hours without re-
duction in pay.
The unions represented were the
railway clerks, freight handlers and
worehousemen. locomotive firemen and
~enginemen, engineers, maintenance Of
way men, oilers. engine wipers and
trainmen.
At a conference in the offices of
Lawrence Curran, international presi-
dent of the freight handlers, resolu-
lions were adopted that provide for a
strike vote by the unions that have
not already voted, with the delivery
of an ulaimatum to the railroads not
later than July IA, that a strike will
follow Immediately unless the eight
hour day is granted.
The sentiment for a strike was re-
ported to be overwhelming through
out the entire west. The roads in
volved are 81 trunk lines and subsidia-
ries west of Chicago.
