WASHINGTON NEWS.
Commerce Conrt Attack Wall Street
Interested.
By C. H. Tavemner.
Washington, Nov. 27 That
Morgan, Rockefeller and other
trust magnates consider them
siMves too sacred to be prosecut
ed for violating the law has been
known for some time.
Hut that they considered
thpmselves too sacred to be eyen
investigated was-not known un
til the Stanley investigating corn
mi tte was politely asked by the
steel trust attorneys to please
abandon its inquiry, because of
the Wickersham suit to dissolve
the trust.
Should this request be gratifi
ed it would mean that the Wick
ersham suit is a God send to the
trust, inasmuch as it sidetracks
an honest and searching investi
gation of a monopoly that Attor
ney General Wickersham him
self claims to be illegal. That
the trust fears a continuation
of the investigation by a commit
tee that is not packed with spe
cial interest servers, more than
it does a "suit to dissolve" con
ducted by an attorney general
who was a former trust attorney,
has been known for some time.
Thanks to a democratic major
ity on the Stanley committee,
the investigation will proceed.
But wishing to be entirely fair
to all concerned, the committee
has discontinued public hearings
until a full committee can pass
on the proposition. It is already
known that the committee farors
a continuation of the probe.
COMMERCE abURT' ATTACKED.
Owing to the fact that nearly
every time the Interstate Com
merce Commerce court reverses
the decision to the benefit of the
railroads, there is a movement
among Democratic and progres
sive Republican congressman to
legislate the Commerce Court
out of existence.
Judge Thetus W. Sims of Ten
nessee already has a bill prepar
ed for the abolition of the court,
and he will ask his democratic
colleagues in the House to pass
the measure.
WALL STREET INTERESTED.
The Clearing House associa
tion of New York is raising a
fund of $150,000 to be contribu
ted by bankers, to aid the cam
paign in behalf of ex-Senator Al

DEMOCRAT FROM NEW MEXICO.
Although th regular ,or stand
pat Republican organization has
carried a majority of members
of the New Mexico legislature
chosen three weeks ago, indica
tions are that one Democrat and
one progressive Republican will
be elected Senators.
DEM0CRATS FRIENDLY TO LABOR
Legislation helpful to the cause
of the workingman will be passed
by the, Sixty-second Congress.
The labor leaders have assur
ances that the Democratic maj
ority in the house will take up
the subjects of employers' liabi
lity, extension of the eight hour
day in government work, restric
tion of the power of injunction,
strengthening of the safety .ap
pliances law. and prohibition of
the so-called Taylor system in
government work. W. B. Wil
son of Pennsylvania, chairman of
the labor committee of the
House, is himself an active
member of the miners' union,
which is an assurance that labor
problem: 'will receive a fair
hearing before his committee.
