Testing the Elkins Law,
Section 3 of the Elkins law, passed
by congress last winter in "restraint of
the trusts," is about to bo tested in
the federal courts. Thus far, in the'
western states at least, this statute has
teen set up by the railroads as a reason
ior refusing free transportation to cat
tlemen and other largo shippeis. In
the case referred to it is aimed to pre
vent cheap coal in New England,
where the market is almost exclusive
ly supplied by the New York, New
JMaven and Hartford railroad system.
In the past ten years this system has
absorbed all the smaller lines, so that
tbe cities, towns and manufacturing
villages must look to it for coal. Sen
ator Elkins is a large owner of coal
mines in "West Virginia, which gives
him a personal interest in the success
oi his alleged anti-trust act. The sec
tion now in controversy is designed to
cut off the advantage to water rates
which the old law conceded.

deducting cost of coal transportation

r.i,d expenso of discharging tho coal
from tho vessel, tho amount left to
tho railway company for its transpor
tation and services was, for most of
tho time covered by tho contract, less
than the published tariff rates. It fur
ther appears that C0,000 tons of coal
remained undelivered nt the expiration
oi. tho contract. In April last a new
airangement was mado by tho presi
dent of tho Chesapeake and Ohio with
the New York, Now Haven and Hart
ford whereby C0.000 tons of Kanawha
coal would bo delivered by tho end of
July at the old contract prico of $2.75
per ton. It appears from the petition
that under thia prico the Chesapeake
and Ohio, after paying for tho coal,
cccan transportation and discharging,
would have about 28 cents por ton left
for its transportation services from
tho Kanawha district of West Vir
ginia to Newport News, Va., while
Its published tariff rate on like coal
from tho same district to Newport
News is $1.45 per ton.
The matter is set for hearing July
31. In tho meantime; tho performance
of tho coal contract is enjoined on tho
giound wo presume that cheap coal in
New England is against public policy.
As a legislative boomerang the Elk
ins act has won tho bluo ribbon in
the west and eastand half has not
yet been revealed. It is coming out
in sections.
'Moral: When you want tho trust
curbed with a double bit, put Senator
Elkins of West Virginia in the saddle.

of the attorney goneral of the United
Slates, filed a petition 4n the United
States circuit for that district against
the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway
company and the New York.New Hav
en and Hartford Railroad company,
asking for an injunction prohibiting
the Chesapeake and Ohio from further
continuing to transport coal from
"West Virginia mines to Newport
News, Va., at less than its published
tariff rates, such coal being consigned
to the New York, New Haven and
Hartford Railroad company at New
Kaven, Conn., and also prohibiting the
New York, New Haven and Hartford
Railroad .company from continuing to
accept or receive coal so carried by
the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad
company at less than its tariff rates.
The petition also prayed for an in
junction as to all other traffic besides
coal.
It is interesting to note that the
lawsuit is based upon the testimony
of President George W. Stevens of the
Chesapeake and Ohio Railway com
uany. who has entered the lists of the
trust pursuers with a purpose. It ap
pears from the petition that the for
rrer president of the Chesapeake and
Otlo Railway company entered into,
a contract with the New York, New
Haven and Hartford Railroad com
pany to furnish 2,000,000 tons of coal
frcm the New River district of West
Virginia to tho New York, New Ha

Being Brought Into Line.
Tho Wall Street Journal, in its is
sue of Thursday, July 30, says: '
"Tho bankers of Illinois and Iowa
ara being brought into lino In iavor of
tho asset currency plan of financial
legislation. Resolutions havo been
passed by the bankers' conventions in
both of those states providing for the
appointment of committees to act in
conjunction with a like committee of
the Chicago Bankers' club, In 'regard
to all measures of financial reform.
It Is stated in the dispatches that tho
Chicago Bankers' club Is working upon
a plan of asset currency and Is In
close touch with Mr. Fowler, whose
asset currency bill was widely dis
cussed at the last session of congress."
The bankers of Illinois and Iowa are
rot the only persons that are "being
brought in lino In favor of tho asset
currency plan of financial legislation."
There are some signs that Spsaker-to-bo
Cannon Is "being brought Into
line."
There are, also, reasons for believing
that even President Roosevelt himself
is "being brought into line."
"Being brought into line" means
being brought "in close touch" with
Mr, Fowler, whose asset currency was
widely discussed at the last session of
congress, and concerning which repub
lican orators have repeatedly told us
that there was no danger whatever of
that measure becoming a law.
Yet "little by little, but steadily as
man's march to the grave," republican
leaders and republican followers are
"being brought into line." Omaha

To Keep Tools Bright.
"For keeping tools bright and free
irom rust when out of use," says the
Medical Times, "brush them with a
preparation made by stirring enough
red or black mineral paint into crude
petroleum to make the mixture of
consistency easy to spread. This can
be applied with a brush made of a
piece of sheepskin tanned with tho
wool on, or with any ordinary brush.
