Mr.. Orr and his client are seeking more
than justice, l am equally convinced that
they destined to disappointment Mr.
Orr has assumed to speak for the court
and to say what the judge would and
would not do; the purchasers of the road
do not assume to speak for the court.
but are content to await the Judgment OF
the court itself, in full confidence that
Judge Pollock will deal out exacte and
even handed justice, which is all the peo-
pie along the line seeking.
One other statement in Mr.. Orr's inter-
view is true, and the rest is a web OF
falsehood and innuendo, not intended to
injure Governor Cspper, for Mr.. Orr is
too wise a politician to hope to accom- =
plish that by any such methods as he IS
now pursuing. but intended to balk the
effort of the people to save their railroad
The remaining statement that L refer TO
as being true is this:
1t is true that Governor Capper is
candidate for senator.
1t is not true that there's the slightest
relation between that fact and the at
tempt to save the L. & T. railroad for the
people who so sorely need 1t, but II that
were true. ! fail to see Just what crime
the governor has committed in lending his
aid TO that effort. If more candidates Tor
office were found helping the people to
save their property from confiscatlon at
the hands of commercial pirates, such as
Mr. Wells and Mr.. Orr, it would be so
much the better for the people.

and l believe you will, unless you wish
the State journal to be recorded as against
this effort of the people to save their rail-
road.

LABOR BEYOND CONTROL
sherman Declares 1t Time for Con-

Washington, April 17.-Charges
that the labor situation is getting be-
yond the control of labor officials and
that congress should take the matter
in hand so the war can be prosecuted
in this country without delay were
made in the senate today when the
conference report on the sabotage bill
was called up for consideration.
Senator Sherman of Illinois, assert
ed that strikes are occurring with
alarming frequency" and that labor
leaders have Nst control of their men.
Despite the efforts of President Comp
ers and other officials of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor Senator Nc
Cumber of North Dakota said, only
about so per cent efficiency is being
obtained from labor in the shipyards.
Denying any intention of condemn
ing Gompers, the senator declared the
situation is beyond their control and it
is time we take this matter in hand.''
Declaring that supporters of labor
in the senate have said that it is not
desired that the laboring man should

AVOID TRADE PLAN
Austrian Statesmen Oppose
German Trade Alliance.
Afraid of Allied Plan in Hostile
Retaliation.

New York, April 17.-Statesmen
of Hungary hesitate to adopt the Ger
man plan for closer commercial rela-
tons between Germany and Austria
Hungary because of the chance that
the entente nations will retaliate by
adopting a similar plan of giving
preferential consideration to one an
Hungary.
TINS would permanently divide the
world into two hostile camps" it was
asserted in a Budapest letter to the
Colonge Gazette. .'It may be doubt
the enemy states in the west could
he forced to recognize a fixed COM
mercial status between Germany and
Austria without themselves insisting
upon the right to give preferential
treatment to each other. Even if it
were possible, by forcing all our enc.
mice % their knees, to preserve the
policy of preferential treatment
among the central powers, the neutral
states certainly would oppose such
plan"
Hungarian industrial, commercial
and labor classes were disinclined to
effect an economic rapprochement
with Germany by means of a tariff
union or preferential tariff treaty, as
serted tho Budapest correspondent.
This was partly based on the ground
that it was not practicable and would
result in a clash of interests, irrita-
ion and lessen the sympathy now
existing between the central powers.
