SEATTLE, Sept 7.-The new eight hour railroad law passed by congress is unjust is the opinion Of w G.

 T believe that the railroads were right in standing for arbitration and the protection Of society" Merritt said at the New Washington Hotel, and that the unions, in rejecting the principle. were wrong It would have been better to fight out a strike than be taught that organized labor could hold up society in this way"
 Merritt came to Seattle eight years ago to take testimony in the famous Danbury matters case, in which the unions later were defeated in the United States supreme court. He is a member of the law firm of Austin, McLanahan & Merritt, of New York.

 inheritance, income, munition, arm and other things. passed the senate with the halibul protection clause in cluded."
 This news item, insignificant as it may appear to people who may be ignorant of our condition here, but which is worth millions to us, was i'm modiately spread, not even waiting for the regular issue of the Progress ize-1Iiner, but was given out that ev- eryhody might rejoice, is knocked in the head this morning by the follow ing:
 WASHINGTON, Sept. 8.-Congress will adjourn this morning at ten o'clock. The final vote on the revenue bil yesterday evening was taken but not until the Alaska fisheries amend ment was eliminated through opposi- u0n.
 / From that the only inference dedu- eibla is that We were merely mislead not Intentionally perhaps, but mis- lead nevertheless. and every body feels tHat the opponents of the measures deserve an everlasting spanking for their action. due no doubt to their ignorauce of our condition, due in turn to their lack of intelligence to learn.
