National Civic Federation
Would Cut Out Stringency
of Sherman Law.
END THREEFOLD DAMAGES
Amendment Proposed Would Reduce
Amount to Simple Damages Cor
porations lo Oct Benefit of
Act Must Register Names.
WASHINGTON. March 23. The bill
prepared by tlio National Civic Federa
tion after conferences with th'S Presi
dent and representatives of capital and
labor to relieve the stringency of the
Sherman antl-tust law, was introduced
in the House today by Representative
Hepburn, of Iowa, chairman of the com
mittee on interstate and foreign com
merce. It was referred by Speaker Can
non to that committee for consideration
and report, and it is understood that
President Roosevelt will, in a message
to Congress, make representations con
cerning it.
One of the most interesting sections of
the Federation bill is that which seeks
to relieve organized labor from the sup
pressive effects of the recent Bupreme
Court decisions, declaring labor unions to
be conspiracies in restraint of trade, and
therefore unlawful. The bill, broadly
speaking, aims to restore to unions their
right of peaceful existence, including the
right to strike, but leaving them still
amenable to the Sherman act in the mat
ter of boycotts, picketing and similar
coercive practices. The section la as fol
lows: Strikes Not Hindered.
Nothing In said act, approved July 2.
1880. or In this aet. Is intended, nor Shall
any provision thereof hereafter be en
forced, so as to interfere with or restrict
any right of employes to strike for any
cause, or to combine or to contract with
each other or with employers for the
purpose of peaceably obtaining from em
ployers satisfactory terms for their la
bor or satisfactory conditions of em
ployment, or so as to Interfere with or
to restrict any right of employers for
any cause to discharge all or any of
their employes, or to combine or to con
tract with each other or with employers
for the purpose of peaceably obtaining
labor on satisfactory terms."
Th hill dpes not attempt to change the
legal status of anything condemned as in
restraint of trade under the Sherman
anti-trust act; but It aims to provide a
way by which, under certain conditions,
combinations and contracts in restraint of
trade that are not unreasonable may be
saved from attack. ' '
The benefits and Immunities offered by
the proposed bill, therefore, will be in the
main confined to those who register in ac
cordance with the terms of the bill.
Cut Out Three-Fold Damage.
Common carriers may register with the
Interstate Commerce Commission, and all
others with the Commissioner of Corpo
rations In the Department of Commerce
and Labor.
It is proposed to amend section 7 of the
Sherman anti-trust act by cutting out the
provisions for three-fold damages, reduc
ing the amount that can be collected to
simple damages, as under the common
law. Everybody,' whether registered or
not. will get the benefit of this provision.
Both corporations for profit and having
capital stock, and also corporations not
for profit and not having capital stock,
may register, but neither are obliged to
do so. This description Is intended to in
clude co-operative organisations as wall
6 business corporations, agricultural and
labor organisations, and the like. If they
do register they get the benefits of the
act. If they do not register they remain
under the Sherman anti-trust law un
amended. EXPORTS TO CCBA INCREASE

CANNOT BAR FROM COURTS
(Continued From First Page.)
States Circuit Court was without Juris
diction in the original proceeding, as there
was no diverse citizenship, and that the
suit Instituted against him as Attorney-
General was In effect a suit against the
state, and not against him.
Xorth Carolina Case.
The North Carolina case, that of Sher
iff Hunter, of Buncombe County, Mr.
Wood, agent of the Southern Hallway,
attracted much attention during the
greater part of last Summer, and was
for a time the cause of a sharp conflict
between the courts of the United -States
and those of North Carolina. Mr. Wood
was Indicted, found guilty and sentenced
to serve a term of 30 days on the rock
pile at Asheville on the charge of selling
railroad tickets for more than the maxi
mum rate established by the statute. He
immediately appealed to Judge Pritchard,
sitting In the United States Court for the
Western District of North Carolina, and
the latter promptly issued a writ of ha
beas corpus ordering Mr. Wood's release
by the Sheriff.
This action of the court was the cul
mination of several important steps in
the controversy, beginning with the is
suance of injunctions by Judge Pritchard
against the state officials, prohibiting the
carrying of the rate law into effect. This
proceeding was followed by an address
by Governor Glenn to the Superior Courts
of the state, questioning Judge Pritchard'
authority and asking them to see that
Indictments were found against agents
of the railroad company. In accordance
with the address, a number of arrests
were made so that Mr. Woods' case be
came a test case for many others.
Slop Operation of Roads.
So important did Judge Pritchard con
sider the action of the state courts that
he said In his opinion "If the criminal
prosecutions againBt the agents, con
ductors and employes are permitted to
continue the managers of the railroads
cannot successfully operate their trains,
carry the mails or continue their useful
ness as common carriers doing an Inter
state business."
Considering the North Carolina case to
have been disposed of toy the action of the
court in the 'Minnesota case. Justice
Peckham did not elaborate his views in
the former proceeding. He said:
Being detained in custody by virtue of
Ms conviction by one of the police courts
of the state, he had the right to apply for
a writ of habeas corpus to the United States
Circuit Judge and that judge had power
to issue the writ and discharge the prisoner
under section 753 of the Revised Statutes, of
the United States, as he was then In custody
for an act done pursuant to an order, pro
cess or decree of a court or Judge of the
Vntted tates. The writ being properly
If sued, the judge had the right and It was
his duty to examine into the facts and had
Jurisdiction to discharge the petitioner under
circumstances of the case.
STILL MAINTAINS HIS GROUND
Attorney-General Young Defends
Ulghts of Sovereign State.
ST. PAUL, March 23. Attorney-General
Young, on learning of the Supreme
Court's decision, said that so far as his
case was concerned, he would simply
pay his fine of $100. The action of the
United States District Court of Min
nesota, which resulted In Attorney Young
being cited for contempt, was the result
of the railroad corporations in Minnesota
bringing injunction suits against the Min
nesota Railroad Commission and certain
shippers to prevent them from putting
Into effect the commodity rate law and
the 2-cent passenger fare law passed by
the last Legislature.
Attorney-General Young claimed that
the sovereign state could not be enjoined
and started proceedings to enforce the
laws passed by the Legislature, for which
he was constructively put in lail for con
tempt. . Mr. Young. In a statement to
the Associated Press said:-
"It would seem that the decision of
the majority overturns all former de
cisions as to the Immunity of states from
suit and In effect repeals the 11th amend
ment." .FISHERS WIN THEIR FIGHT

From Us Taft Opposes
Centralization.
TRENTON. March 23. Secretary Taft
and Baron Takahira, Japanese Ambassa
dor to the United States, spoke before the
Chjnber of Commerce tonight. A special
reception to the distinguished visitors
took place in the Assembly chamber in
the Statehouse at 7 o'clock. The two
houses were in session and the galleries
and lobbies were crowded with spectators.
Baron Takahira spoke only briefly. Mr.
Taft was given a rousing- reception. He
dealt with the duties of legislators and
discussed the relation of states to the
Federal Government. He said the devel
opment of the country bad made some
Federal matters relatively more Impor
tant than state matters when compared
with conditions of 100 years ago, but said
this did not mean the surrender of the
state's rights. He added:
Taft Opposes Centralization.
I trembl for what this government would
be If everything- wo centered on the Poto
mac, in the District of Columbia. The
states, the Governors and the legislatures
must not lose their sense of responsibility In
respect to their du-ty within their functions,
lest the movement In favor of minimizing
the state power I gJn in strength.
At the conclusion of the exercises at
the Statehouse the visitors were driven to
the Masonic Temple, where the Chamber
of Commerce banquet took place. Tnere
were over 450 guests seated at the tables
in the hall, which was profusely decorat
ed with American and Japanese flags.
Baron Takahira was roundly applauded
and was then greeted w?th the Chautau
qua eaiute. The Ambassador told his
audience something about trade relations
between Japan and the United States
and the world, and put in a good word for
the coming International exposition at To- i
kto in 1913. He said:
Japan a Good Customer.
j The reason for this sudden growth of your
! exports to Japan le gratifying, as It can
largely be attributed to the fact that during-
the last 30 yeans America has been al
; ways been our principal customer as a buyer
i of our staples, fostering In that way our pur
l chasing power until In late years we began to
import from this country many articles
we used to buy elsewhere, thus showing that
as we had. gained by selling you raw silk,
tea and other articles so we could import
rails, locomotives, plates, machinery, etc.
Sometimes we hear rather harsh com
plaints against Japan for starting cotton
mills and no longer importing piece goods
we used to buy from this country, but in
making cotton goods in our own mills we
have to buy raw cotton from Amerloa The
came explanation is necessary for the
cigarette trade. We are no more buying
them from this country, but we manu
facture them In our own factories from
the tobacco leaves Imported from this
country.
There are some other things of such
kind, but there is strong reason to believe
that because we gain something by making
theme articles by ourselves we have been
enabled to Import a larger quantity of other
things, such as flour, timber, leather, etc.
Taft Is Hard on Jingoes.
Mr. Taft spoke on "The National Out
look." He said:
It la a great pleasure to every one iu
the Government and the administration at
Washington that Baron Takahira haa re
turned as Ambassador. The relations be
tween Japan and the United States during
the past two years have much occupied the
headlines of sensational newspapers of this
country and Europe. A number of the
Kuropean press were determined that there
should be war between the United States
and Japan, even if both parties were deter
minedly opposed to It. The unfortunate dis
turbances at San Francisco and the diplo
matic controversies that arose were made
the occasion for the circulation of the most
distressing rumors, which were from time
to time repeated.
It was found, however, that nothing had
occurred at San Francisco which it was
not within the power of the two govern
ments to settle by peaceful methods. The
question of immigration seems quite with
in the power of the two government with
out legislation on either side, to bring to
a satisfactory adjustment.
Prophets of Evil Confounded.
Then these same scribes and prophets of
evil made themselves hoarse wUh their
shouts about the sending o fthe flet of
battlshlps to the Pacific. A.las. for the rep
utation of these prophets of evil; no sooner
had the fleet reached our Western shores
upon the Pacific than the government of
Japan sends a most cordial invitation,
couched in the friendliest terms, asking
that our fleet vsit the ports of Japan. This
Invitation the Government has accepted in
the same cordial tone because it realizes
the sincerity of the hospitality which is
offered.
ft has been my good fortune to visit
Japan for short trips four times and each
time I have had the honor of being pre
sented to Imperial Majesty, the Em
peror, and each time I have had an excel
lent opportunity to learn the friendly atti
tude of the govenment of Japan toward
that of the United States.
Japan Too Busy for War.
The Japanese have their energies directed
toward the civilisation and settlement and
progress of Corea. which has come under
their protection and control ; of the Liao
tugn Peninsula, of which they now have a
lease from the Chinese government; and of
Formosa, which they took over from China
after the Chino-Japanese War.
Mr. Taft closed by urging the im
portance of maintaining a Navy and
Army "commensurate with our resources,
with our coast line, with the extent of
our country and population."

publicans of the Second Congressional

little son of Mr. and Mrs. S. W. Elliott,
of 4443 iNorth Vber street, who has just
celebrated his 8th birthday.
Physicians have been puzzling their
brains about this strange case for many
months, for it has seemed queer to them
that a boy could exist on so slim a ration.
But it is a necessity for Howard Elliott,
for his organs are so weak that he can
not digest any heavier food. So he cats
an eeg every day.
The boy Is a bit stronger than he used
to be, and he has a brain that would
well fit a lad of twice his years. A diet
of one egg a day seems to develop the
gray matter, for Howard makes all the
other boys in his department at school
hustle some if they are not to be eclipsed
by a 'weakling."
Physically he is deficient, for his ten
der muscles and undeveloped body will
not stand the romp and tumble of the
ordinary playground. But Howard makes
a hard try at "being a boy," even if it
does use up about all the energy he can
accumulate in the course of a week. The
birthday celebration was a bright event,
and brought many of his playmates to his
home.
Th?re are persons in the neighborhood
who declare that Howard gets a little
extra sustenance on the side, but his
father and mother scoff at this "ridicu
lous Idea." So Howard still holds the
Mutatlon of being the very lightest
eater In Philadelphia.

Six days of good temper in every
box of Cascarets. Six days when
you feel at your best; no head
ache, no dullness. Are they worth
' ten cents?
It is (oily to talk of the "laxative habit,
The habit lies in eating the wrong sort of food, and too much
of it. And in getting too little exercise.
While you do that, you must give the necessary help to the
bowels in some other way.
Else there is always a penalty.
Here is the way to avoid it :
Eat coarse food in moderation. Eat plenty of fruit, many green
vegetables. Drink no alcohol. Walk ten miles per day.
Those are Nature's ways for keeping the bowels active.
The next best way is Cascarets.
Cascarets, better than anything else, supply the place of laxa
tive foods and of exercise.
They do what right living would do. And they do it just as
gently, just as naturally. They are vegetable.
You'll need them just as long as you live in -doors, and eat rich
foods; and no longer.
Take them as you take food when you need it Carry a box
in your pocket, and take one Cascaret at a time. That's better than
to suffer and wait - -
Cascarets are candy tablet. They are sold by all druggists, but never in
bulk. Be sure you get the genuine, with CCC on every tablet. The price is
