physician as to a growth in her
throat, which was affecting her
wind-pipe, and it was decided

done or she would choke to
death. Her son Guy accompa-
MED her to Walkers Sanitarium
Saturday morning and the consul
tation there. only served to urge
the importance Of a quick oper-
alton. She cheerfully agreed
and was not assisted by anyone

Chicago, March lS.-Present rates

one reason why the railroads are not

OF the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy
railroad, in testifying Tuesday in the in.
terstate commerce commission hearing Of
the Al western railroads petition for
higher rates on certain commodities. The
roads are asking fof an increase on
livestock rates to maximum OF two

livestock requires greater care in
transportation than dead freight" said
Mr.. Spens. "There is greater hazard
Special cars required for the transporta-
ton of livestock can be used only to a
limited extent for other commodities
The percentage of empty mileage is much
greater on stock than on closed cars
While the cost Of producing livestock has
increased. the cost of the service We
perform has increased, without any in
,rease in our compensation. Hence, we
ind that the hauling OF livestock is not
bearing its proportion Of the cost OF
maintaining the railroads"

Trent, but requires from Italy guaran-
tee of her neutrality guarantee that

the war.
In these pending negotiations Austria,
in order to protect herself, proposes that
Trent be occupied by Germany and held
in trust throughout the war, TO be ceded
to Italy only if she keeps her neutral
agreement
These terms are not acceptable to
italy, it is stated, but are merely Of
fered by the German government in or
der to prolong the negotiations and pre-
vent Italy from taking any decisive
step.
Prince Won Buelow, the German am
bassador is understood to have given
formal assurance to the Italian govern
ment that pressure is being brought to
bear upon Austria aid that it is very
probable that the German government
viii be able TO induce Austria to make
the concessions demanded by Italy.
In the negotiations, the representa-
tives of the allied cause have told the
Italian government that the defeat OF
Germany and Austria Hungary is inev-
table. But even ii Italy remains neu-
trail and takes no part in the war, she
will receive no compensation from the
allies. That Is thoroughly understood
by the Italian government.

QUESTIONS for liquor for religious use

to cooperate in the enforcement of these
regulations. They are requested to make
no delivery of alcohol or alcoholic liquor
except official consignments properly au-
thorized. to assure themselves of the
contents OF all packages for the seal

ing unauthorized articles TO be land

ic liquor to natives who may visit their

CHARGE UNION
CONSPIRACY
The Exemption Of Labor
Organizations Is
Attacked

Washington, March Reconstruction
of the Clayton antitrust act passed last
October by Congress with its labor ex-
emption clauses, was laid before the SUI
preme court for the first time Tuesday
by the filing of brief in the so-called
Woodwork Manufacturers case.
This suit was begun in the federal
courts in New York long before the pas
sage of the Clayton act, but it is now
claimed that the new statute is retro
active and applies to all cases pending
at the time of its passage, whether in
the trial court or in appellate tribunals.
The case il one in which open shop wood
work manufacturers throughout the
country are seeking to enioin certain
New York members OF the Brotherhood
of Carpenters and union shop manufae-
turers from carrying out an alleged CON
spiracy to destroy the trade Of the open
shop manufacturers.
The New York courts denied relief un-
der the Sherman law. Attorneys for the
open shop manufacturers cortend how
ever, that the Clayton law gives them a
right to an injunction in specific words.
They urge that labor unions are not ex-
empted from the penalties Of doing acts
made illegal under the Sherman anti
trust law or any other law, or quote
statements by those in charge OF the
legislation in the House 0ni Senate TO
prove the intent of Congress.

ions are permitted by the Clayton law
to do Illegal acts the United States Steel
corporation could destroy its competitors
by arrangements with a union whereby
the latter would call strikes on every
railroad, in every factory, and on every
building where competitors products
were used. Such exemption from the
penalty for committing illegal acts, it
is urged, would be class legislation and
unconstitutional.

WILL REVISE RATE
New Hampshire commission Is Notified
the Fiye-Cent Unit Principle Will
Be Eliminated.

Concord, n. H., March ls-The Boston
& Maine railroad has notified the public
service commission that it will revise the
one-way passenger tariff filed Dec. /,
1914, and now in effect, TO eliminate the
five cent unit principle. Under this tar.
if rates are constructed on the basis OF
two and one-half cents per mile, but
enough is added in each case to make
the fare dvisible by five. When the new
tariff is filed by the railroad, fares be-
tween all stations in New Hampshire, en-
cept in mountain lines, will be upon a
uniform basis of two and one-half cents
per mile for actual distance for one way
tickets, and mileage tickets win be on
the basis of two and one-fourth cents
per mile.
