HARD RAP AT UNIONS Three Adverse Decisions by Su preme Court In a Month. AEFECTS BOYCOTTING PRIVILEGE Mutt Not Interfere With Interstate Com merce or Plaintiff Can Qet Three Tim et Damages. Washington, Feb. 4.— Yesterday for the third time within a month the Su preme court of the United States pro mulgated an opinion construing laws adversely to the contentions of organized labor. The hist of the decisions wae rendered on January 6, in the case of some railway employee who sought to secure damages under what is known as the employers’ liability act, which law the court held to be unconstitu tional. The second important finding in this line was announced January 23, when the Erdman arbitration act, for bidding the discharge of employes be cause they are members of labor unions was also declared invalid. The verdict rendered yesterday was the case of Loewe versus Lawlor, the latter a member of the Hatters’ union and the former a hatmaker of Danbury, Conn. The case involved the applicability of the seventh section of the Sherman anti-trust law to conspiracies by labor unions to boycott articles entering into interstate trade. Under the terms of that provision the complaining party may collect three times the amount of his loss, if the charge is sustained. The union fought the case on the ground that the law was inapplicable to such organizations; hut the court, whose opinion was announced by Chief Justice Fuller, failed to accept this view, and in effect held that the unions could not be permitted to interfere by boycott with the free exchange of com merce between the states. There was no dissenting opinion. DRAWING T O C LO SE. SC ENES IN EUROPE. KING 18 MURDERED, Carloa.

Tuesday, February 4. Washington, Feb. 5.— The senate to day passed the urgent deficiency bill, carrying an appropriation of over $24,- 000,000. The large deficiency appro priation for the navy brought out con siderable discussion of the subject of executive departments making expend itures not provided for by an appropri ation. Deficiency appropriations for the Panama canal gave rise to Democratic criticism of the publication of a paper by the Canal commission at Panama, and incidentally Teller declared that he believed the lock canal at Panama would some day be declared a failure and that a sea-level canal would take its place.

So great was the demand for time that geneal debate on the In dian appropriation bill, which is the pending business, wae extended tomor row for four hours. Interest in today’s proceedings centered in a speech by John Sharp Williams, the minority leader, who, while lauding the presi dent for some of his sentiments, ex pressed the belief that others were dan gerous. Williams spoke for nearly two hours. His remarks on the financial question prompted a lengthy discussion of that subject by H ill, of Connecticut, in which he opposed the Aldrich b ill.

Washington, Feb. 3.— Three of the giants of the house of representatives had their innings today.

Washington, Feb. 6.— The Demo cratic senators held a two-hours’ con ference on the financial question today, but came to no conclusion as to the exact natnre of the substitute bill. Senator Bailey outlined his b ill provid ing for an emergency issue of treasury notes tbrnngb deposit« in designated depositories. He said he would not be averse to having certain amendments made to it. Democratic senators will support the Bailey substitute. SCORES EVIL-DOERS Following Is the address delivered by President E. A.
