THEOLOGICAL tests OF the remaining Sc

~ tests were taken and today's work
finishes the examination. .
OF the tests taken today all were
negative" said Dr. Trotter, and there
Was only one sample OF the fifty ex.
Gnined Saturday which looks suspi-
Cious. Whether this person is a cho-

ever, for several days as more detailed
tests will have to be taken to deter

The 1875, whose tests are negative,
are TO be turned over to the immigra-
lion authorities today or tomorrow
DR. Trotter is taking every precau-
ton that a cholera carrier does not
get by the authorities and the people
OF Honolulu are being protected by
every scientific method. Every vessel
arriving from Japan until the epidemic
there is stopped, will be carefully ex-
amined and all the steerage passen-
Gers tested for cholera. The next
steamer to arrive from Japan will be
the Seattle Maru Wednesday and the

Dr. John S. b. Pratt, president of

hour today no such cases had been re-
ported. In case the situation makes
it necessary, the board of health will
meet to take action, but it is believed
there is no appreciate danger, as the

Union labor of Illinois wants the
next legislature to pass an. anti-in-
junction bill, bill that will take from
anti-labor judges the power to throt-
tie strikes by a stroke of the pen.
When it looked like the mattresses
had won their big strike, Judge Bald
win issued an injunction forbidding
strikers to picket the restaurants.
The mattresses lost the strike. A
succession of similar injunctions fol-
lowed.
Employers soon found it was
cheaper and easier to defeat strikes
by securing injunctions against the
strikers than to hire strikebreakers.
The more recent injuhctions, such
as those invoked against the tanners,
garment workers, etc., forbade the
workers to even walk in the streets
near the factories or to talk to men
who remained at work, even in their
own homes. 1t is next to impossible
to win a strike against an Injunction.
1t was indicated at the meeting of
the Chi. Federation of Labor Sunday
that the Chicago and the state feder-
atoms will make the anti-injunctio
bill the paramount issue at the com
ing state elections and at the meet.

The influence of labor in securing
votes is undeniably powerful, and it
is believed that union labor can Sc

legislative candidates who would not
vote for an anti-injunction bill

day reported to the c. F. of L. that all

DEPART FROM
MILEAGE SCALE
RAILROADS SAY THAT WILL EN-
ABLE GEORGIA CITIES CHANCE
FOR COMPETITION.

ATLANTA, Aug. 25.-The explana,
ton of the class rates and tie rate
from the several Georgia cities pro-
posed by the railroads in the petition
now being heard by the Georgia rail
road commission for general revis-
ion of Georgia intrastate freight rates
has developed that the railroads pro.
pose to depart from the general basis
of straight mileage scale in num-
ber of instances where such instances
will bring about more nearly just
application of rates between the vari-
Gus Georgia cities enabling them to
compete upon the most reasonable
possible basis.
The explanation of the proposed
class rates from the several Georgia
cities is still in progress and will
not be completed before next week
when the special, commodity rates
will be taken up.
Randall Clifton, assistant freight
traffic manager for the Southern rail-
way, c. Med. Davis, general freight
agent of the Atlantic Coast Line, and
other witnesses of the carriers who
are daily before the commission, de-
clare that the principal object of the
carriers in their proposed adjustment
of rates is to remove determinations
between the shipping points of the
state. To this end they find it neces-
sary on account of peculiar competi-
tive conditions to depart from the
straight mileage scale. they state. In
all such instances, Mr.. Clifton brought
out, the carriers will make the de-
partures for the benefit of the ship
ping points and at the expense of the
carriers themselves, and, further, they
propose to see to it that the small
intermediate points affected by such
departures receive all the benefits of
the long and short haul principle OBJ
served in the proposed mileage scale
revision.
Another principle which the carriers
pfopose to observe in the mileage
scale application is to let the mileage

the rates for the longer and more cir
cuitous lines, as. for instance, would
be the case in the direct line of the
Atlanta Birmingham and Atlantic
from Atlanta to Thomasville Not only
would the distance over this line gov
ern the rate over other lines to Thom-
asville in fixing the rate by strict
mileage scale, but. this rate would be
applied relatively to all intermediate
points. The only limit the carriers
place on this sort of control of rates
over the longer lines is that the longer
lines shall not be more than PEI
cent longer than the direct line which
sets the rates, and this principle is
sanctioned by the Interstate Com
n.crce commission.
