NEW YORK ANTI-ALIEN
LAW is UPHELD
Supreme Court Finds 1t Constitutional
Only Citizens to be Employed
on Public Works.

Washington, Nov. 30.-The New York
anti-alien labor law of 1909, under which
| it was made compulsory to employ only
citizens in the construction of public
works, was yesterday held constitutional
by the supreme court.
In his opinion, Justice McKenna said:
"The application of the law to the sub
way contracts and whatever its effect
and to what extent it affects the cor
porate rights of the city or of the sub
way contractors are local questions"
These questions have, in effect, been de.
cided adversely to the contractors by the
New York court of appeals. Whatever
the local law, or consideration involved
in the decision he added, we are bound
by them" The court, in its printed opin-
ion, upheld the validity of the law on
the ground that the state as guardian
and trustee of the peoples money may
prescribe the conditions upon which it
will permit public work to be done, Ell
ther by itself, or by one Of it's govern
mental agencies, such as city. 1t was
held that the law did not violate the
treaty between the United States and
Italy, guaranteeing citizens of each
country equality only in respect of pro-
lection and security for persons and
said Justice McKenna.

for No. I northern; l.03k for No. 2
northernj and a3A for No. 3 northern.
The claims put forward by dealers yes.

tertsined and on the payment of the

Something like 20000,O0O bushels are
TO be taken over in this consignment, and
IL is stated here by competent officials
that il would not be surprising If the

acquired in this manner, although the
Communicating process may not again be
invoked.

BANK MAN STILL MISSING.
Absence of John ]. Murphy of Rutland

Rutland, Nov. 30-John J. Murphy
cashier OF the Marble Savings bank in
this city, who left town suddenly late
Friday night without telling his in.
tentions, has not been located and there
ii no clue as to the direction lie took
other than he left the Rutland railroad
sleeper train at New York early Satur.
day morning. William Goddard and
Christopher r. Roberts, railway mail
clerks, OF this city, walked through the
depot and out into the.sstreets Of New
York with him, and Murphy seemed per-
fectly rational.
Bank Examiner F. G. Williams OF
Newport spent the entire day yester-
day in going over the books of the Mar
BILE Savings bank and stated at the close
of the task that he found absolutely
nothing to indicate that Mr.. Murphy had
ever misappropriated any OF the banks
funds or securities or that he ever made
an entry which wac false Mr.. Williams
will continue his examination two days
longer.
People here still adhere to the belief
that Murphy's strange disappearance is
due to temporary mental arrangement.
His domestic life was very pleasant and
he spent more time than the average
young man with his mother with whom
he lived. MIR, Murphy is nephew OF

Smashing of Ocean Freight
Rates by England
May be Aim
AMERICAN SHIPPERS
ARE ALARMED
By the Communicating Of
Wheat in Canadian
Elevators

New York. Nov 30.-The commander
ing of Canadian wheat by the Canadian
government was interpreted here yester
day by grain exporters as possibly th'
first step by England, not merely t.
take over all Canadian grain, but tc
smash ocean freight rates by requisition,
ing the Atlantic freighters. Exporters
regarded the situation as undoubtedly
serious from their point of view.
Julius Barnes, one of the leading ex.
porters in the New York produce ex-
change, asserted that the British govern
ment could practically drive the Amer
lean grain exporters out of business il
it chose.
For some time there has been rumor
current in New York exporting circles
that Great Britain intended to take over
all her Atlantic merchant marine as a
drastic step toward breaking the high
freight rates. Mr.. Barnes declared that
the Canadian grain seizure looked very
much like the first step in this direction.
1t was also reported that the grain
had been commandeered on behalf of
italy, the Italian government having
urged the step on London, in order to
escape the heavy burden of the present
10 per cent rate of exchange against ii
IN New York. ]. Ward Warner, presi-
lent of the produce exchange. discounted
this report as he said he understood
hat Italy was not making individual
purchases, but that grain was being
bought in common for England, France
md Italy.
The only explanation / can offer Of
his move" said Mr.. Warner, sis that
.ertain spectators have been holding
Wheat in the Canadian elevators for
zig rise and that the Canadian govern
nent has acted to check them"
