A CASE IN POINT.

Two great tests of the Sherman Antitrust act came before Justice Hughes when on the Supreme Bench. These two cases were in no way identical. But they serve to throw considerable light upon the frame of mind of the jurists who disposed of them. In both cases Justice Hughes was with the major ity of the justices who handed down the decisions, and for that reason, now that he has resigned from the bench to enter the turmoil of the political world, he should be pre- pared to be judged upon his actions as the public will interpet them.
 The reason for Justice Hughes being nominated to the Supreme Bench was because of certain trust
The daily Nome industrial worker., 1916-08-14

cases which were coming Afore that body. In October 1911, &yan charged, in the Commoner, Faft with packing the bench. HeIsaid explicitly that Governor HEhes was put forward to represent te re- publican party; he (Taft) asured the trusts that the Rule of RAson' for which they had been waiting more than ten years would Id ap piled. Congress refused tal alkePp the promise, 50 Governor JNghes was put on the Supreme BencI and belred to amend the aH' n a3ord ance with the republican premise, and now President Taft in whose in- terest the promise was made and who appointed Governor Htghes, says that the antitrust lay as amended by the courts must rbt be disturbed"
 The application of the rte of reason first formulated in a speech when Governor of New Yrk by Charles E. Hughes, was tn the Standard Oil and Tobacco rrust cases. The law was I,afe applicable by that decision to no reas&abIe combination. The assumption of a right to amend a statute and to in- terpret the law so that it was made to mean something that neither it's letter nor it's spirit intended was de- nounced by Justice Harlan In his dissenting opinion which expressed his astonishment at the Court usurping a legislative function; g procedure heretofore absolutely un. known in jurisprudence.
 The other case is that of the Danbury Hatters. The court placed the Hatters in the same category a: a trust but they made the guilt per sonal and utterly ruined the work CTS who had struck and refused tt patronize the product of the employ CTS against whom they struck. Th' matters union was mulcted in dam ages of over a quarter of million and all under the same law that re fused to entertain any conception of guilt against the other industria | companies. And that too applying | to labor a law intended by Con gress to apply against combination of capital in restraint of trade.

lers that got away with the spells of the insurance companies.
 The very men who patted Hughes on the back when he found objec- tions to the constitutional amend ment providing an income tax, when he vetoed the two cent fare on railroads bill when he vetoed the Coney Island bill, and let the ra- vagers of the insurance funds go scot free after he had aided in their exposure, those men are now having him run for President because of his immaculate record!
 It is all right to peddle the soft stuff that worker should be treated by his employers as human being, that tariffs help the farmers and old delapidated junk that might fit any cheap political second hand dealer. But he has surely to ex- plain away why all his previous re- cord with hardly an exception (there is one) was devoted to up holding privilege and cooperative rights against the rights of the people.
 It is all very well to be against the Wilson government and to de- nounce this policy and that, but before the campaign is oyer prob ably Hughes will find he has heap l of exnlaining to do himself.

AT the IL o'clock service at ST Anne's

the Rev Dr.. Joseph +. McComas. an

request of the Nestry. resolved upon at
their meeting en. Saturday afternoon,
to withdraw his resignation which he

At a former meeting Of the Nestry.
action on the Rector's resignation was
postponed until after the annual elec-
tion Of Vestrymen on Easter Monday
but action just at this time instead.
was prompted largely by the fact that
DR. McComas was about TO accept
call which he had received in the
meantime; the call being to take
charge of the religious work in the
municipal institution of Queens Bor-
New York, through appointment
by the Cathedral Staff
In fact, Dr. McComas was in New

making arrangements for entering this
new field Upon his return home Sat

munication from the Nestry of st.

ing that afternoon, asking him TO with
draw his resignation, and disavowing
any dissension in the Parish that could
not, and should not, be fully reconcil-
ed. This is understood TO have refer
ence to a report from source out
side of the Parish which had come to
the Rector's ears, to the effect that he
did not have the support of the Vestry
in Parish affairs, and the Rector then
put it up to the Vestry TO either af-
firm or disavow such condition by
submitting his resignation last Octo-
ber, to become effective May 1st The
Vestry's action in asking for the with
drawal of his resignation rs, therefore,
taken TO mean vote of confidence.
Dr. McComas determined to accede
TO the Vestry's request and so an
nounced from the pulpit yesterday
morning, after which the Rector and
the congregation. standing. united in
prayer.
This development in St Anne's Par
ish has brought about much JOY and
thankfulness. not only within the
Parish, but the entire community as
well, where Dr. McComas has given SO
many years of faithful and uplifting
work and where he and his family are
