In history-, 'opposed: to. submitting any
oonstltutlonsl amendment- to IB . people,
lnc w are' convinced "by experience 'that
such methods are usnless and futile'.",
Douglas Of B6ck lined nip for the Loomis
o mend merit and made a fight against, th
attempt to block the passage of all con
stitutional amendment bills. Replying to
Wllaon, ha saldr - '.,'
'It la unfortunate , for this tbUse, If It
would follow the advica At the gentleman
from Pawnee, that It haa already passed
H. R. 73, a bill for ,a conatltutional amend
ment for the investment "of the achool fund,
and cannot, therefore, without stultifying
itself, go. down on record as against all
constitutional amendment." -
Appeals t Hf".'
Speaking of '.the' clash between the house
nad senate, Douglas said:
"Let me warn you, gentlemen, that there
Is now a,' fight between the two bodies of
hi legislature. Lot us not do anything to
intensify or aggravate the feelings that ex
1st. but rather rise above petty sentiments
ii nd go on record at bigger men than that.
.Some members favor a constitutional con
vention. Lei 'as not plunge headlong Into
ibis until wevcan assure ourselves that It
will glvo. taedisslred result.",-
Mr. Doufia-s then -pointed out that a
constitutional convention would not Insure
the desired, changes In the organic law any
more or ofelf as much as would the submis
sion to the voters of separata amendments
and he -urged; the house to recognize the
fact that the constitution needed revision
In at least thre particulars. Regarding
Sweety's course he said:
"It seems the only 'thing that actuates
Mr. Sweesy la the petty desire to get re
veage on the senate for defeating his pet
measure. ' Now," gentlemen, let us not get to
that level."
Douglas, tn answer to other arguments
later, in tb debate, which oontlnued
throughout ' tfco entire ltorn-u? session,
called attention to the fact' that it would
take ' three-fifths vote of both houses to
rail a" feohstitdtionkY convention and then
that there would be nothing definite or cer
tain about 'such a convention, composed 'of
all Che different parties and conflicting'' in
terests of the state. He thought that until
the 'various etewwits. could 'be harmonised,
which poobably would never be, and. until
the vital qiiastlon of the state are settled,
no constitutional convention could be made
to subserve the interests of the people and
produoe .the1 deelrtd result,' Furthjrdtor
he pointed out that 'it would require about
six years.,, t,flDally.;ratlfAnd secure the
operatKa"Vftthe.reselta ox' such a conven
tion. Then he remarked that It was highly
Improbably -tRat thrfce-flfth
tur would vote for ' this ai
of the leglala-
and that there
fore It the amendment bills were voted
down- toiWke. j-odmi for l the convention
proposition the whole, matter was lost. Mr.
Douglas aW In' hls opposition to constl
tutloqal BienipJcpH... mere, than was. ap
parent on' the ' surface "evidently, for he
said In closing: '. ' .'T .,.', .
"Let us not bo carried away by sentl
- mcnts and emo(lpo of men who have per
sonsl' ambition's, in 'this, matter."
. Sweesy Bill InaifcMerlal.
Loomis' followed " with a' strong defense
tor. hi , amsndwent, following much . the
same line of argument aa Douglas and also
pointing out that, the. bill which Sweety
was , grieving over was . superfluous, since
it contemplated very little not already pro
vided for ( In the present, law, The bill
ought , to prevent the- publication of constitutional'-
amendments in dally . papers.
Loomis' showed that the present law only
specifies that these notices shall appear In
weekly papers, or- at ' least as weekly
notices, and not'idaily. . He attributed tha
excessive bill, for -advertisements to the
fault of secretaries of state, who,, he said,
had either not capacity or' Integrity to en
force the law. He waa in favor of tha con
stitutional amendment and against' the
convention In which he saw no practical
good to-Ue state. Ho thought that if a
convention was called It might result In
the 'destruction of some of the best fea
tures of the present . revenue and other law
Otlbert of Douglas, Janes of Otoe and
Ten Eyfk of Douglas then spoke for the
Loomis amendment, "While gweezy, Bear of
Burt, Morsman of Douglaa and Cassell 'of
Otoe spoke against the amendment and
for the jweezy motion. Nelson of Douglas

He anted to vote first on the convention

Into the question in detail, showing that
a between the two method the people
would stand two chance to one ot getting
what relief they sought It the legislature
adopted the amendment proposition. ' Mr.
Douglas pointed' out that it Was only
deemed 'necessary to make four or, at the

great Inconvenience and ' expense, expense

' The action of th house is a keen dlsap
polntment to Governor Mickey. Th gov
ernor said tonight: -f "
'; "I am dumbfounded at th action of th
house. I am thoroughly 'convinced that a
constitutional convention-will not afford the
relief the state needs aa separate amend
ment would have done I can't aee that-a
convention guarantee any wore certainty
than the amendmeut Dln and certainly it is
not as direct. and is far more expensive.'.!
fear a grave mistake has been Jnade. The
only recourse I la .for thej house to. re
scind 1U action. -' Of course I -ant' not able
to aay whether It will do this or not. It
looks- a though, lnee the ..constitution
need but three or f our 'Changes, th house
might, with profit, have taken different ac
tlon. It is understood that many member
who helped vote down H amendment bills
today are disposed, to Took -favorably upon
a, proposition to reoonajderr, their action.
Inasmuch a th session is to be extended
one day, some effort may b made to bring
about' a change." '
It 1 pretty well understood that Douglas
county member traded their vote on the
constitutional amendment proposition for
vote to paaa S. F. 8, to elect county com
mlssloners by the entire vot ot th county.
Gilbert and Tea Kyck had both spoken
against th convention Idea, thea voted
for it. ......
Slsaa loath Oaaakva Charter.
Governor Mickey aitntd H. It. 187, th
South Omaha charter bill, tonight. It car
rle an emergency -clause and. therefore
takes effect at once. The city election la
South Omaha naturally would be held to
morrow. Thl bill waa drawn to suit all
th exigencies of the occasion foreseen by
it author. Therefor th two council
men and tax pommlssloaer, whoa terms
would ordinarily expire tomorrow, wUI held
over one year by virtue of this provision.
'AH the elective officer whose term are
unexpired (at the time thin act take effect)
hall hold their offlreei until the regular
election In April, 1904, when the first regu
lar election under this act shall be held."
Had tha governor withheld his signature
one more day thla purpose of the bill would
have been defeated.
The senate tonight passed over the gov
ernor's veto 8. F. SI, the bill authorising
J. B. Cobby to publish 1,000 sets ot the
statute at $9 a aet.
The senate. In committee ot the whole,

LABOR LAWS NEEDED
(Continued from First Page.)
the Orient and the rice crop Is now prac
tically equal to our needs It, liiis country
whereas a few year, ago It supplied but
one-fourth of them.. The most important
of our farm products is tne grasn crop;
and to show what has been done With
grasses, I need only allude to the striking
change made In the entire west by the ex
tended U8 Of alfalfa.'
Moreover, the department has taken the
lead In the errort to prevent. the detoresta-
tlnn nf th. rnnntrv Where thfir nrA fnr.
ests we seek to preserve them, and on the
once treele.es plalnsand the Dralrles we
are doing our best .to foster the habit of
tree plant ng among our people, in my own
.lifetime I have- sewn wonderful changes
brought about toy litis' tree planting here in
your own state ana in tne states immedi
atelv around it.
There are a number of important ques
tions, such as . that of good roads, with
which the states alone can deal, and where
all that the national government can do is
to co-operate wun tnem. t ne same Is true
of tne education of the American farmer
A number of th states have themselves
started to help in this work and the De
partment of Agriculture does an immense
amount which Is In the proper sense of th
word educational, and educational In, tha
most Dractloal way.
It is therefore cl!"! true that a kreat
advance has' been made In the direction of
finding ways by which the government can
help the farmer to help himself tha only
kind of help which a Self-respecting man
will accept, or, I may add, which will In the
end do him any good. Much haa been
done in these ways, and farm life and farm
processes continually change for the bet
ter. The farmer himself still retains, be
cause of his surroundings and the nature of
Ms work, to-a preemtnent degree the qual
ities which we like to think of as distinctly
Amei!ran In considering our aarly history;
The man who tills his own farm, whether
on the Dralrla or in the woodland, the man
who grows what we eat and the raw ma
terial which is worked up into what we
wear, still exists more nearly under the con
dltlons which obtained when the "embat
tled farmrrs" of '76 made this country a
nation'' than Is true ot any others of our
people. i
Cities Face Changed Conditions.
But the wage workers in Our cities, like
the capitalists in our cities, face totally
chanced conditions. The development of
machinery and the extraordinary change in
business conditions nave rendered the em
ployment of capital and of persons In larg
aggregations not merely profitable, but
often necessary for success, and have
specialized tne labor , ot tne wage worker
at tne same time mat tney nave Drougnc
great aggregations of wage workers to
gether. More and more In our great In
dustiial centers men have come to realize

Coal Arbltratioa Object Lessen.
When we deal with such a subject we
sre fortunate in havlns before us an ad
mlrable object lesson in the work that has
Juet been closed by the Anthracite Conl
Strike commission. This was the comml"
slon which was appointed last fall at the
time wnen tne coal strike in tne anthra
cite regions threatened our nation with
disaster second to none which has befallen
us slnoe tho days of the civil war. Their
report was made Just before the senate ad
Journed at the special session, and no gov
eminent document of recent years marks a
more important piece or work better done,
and there Is none which teaches sounder
soclnl morality to our uooule. The com
mission consisted of seven as good men as
were to be found in the country, repre
senting the bench, the church, the army,
mo preressions, tne employers ana tne em
ployed. They acted as a unit, and the re
port which they unanimously slaned Is a
masterpiece of sound common senee and of
una doctrine on the questions with which
our people should most deeply concern
themselves. The immediate effect of this
commission's appointment and action was
of vast and Incalculable benefit to the na
tion, but the ultimate effect will be even
better, If capitalist, wage-worker and law
maker alike will take to heart and act upon
the lessons set forth In the report they
have made.
Ot course the national covernment has
but a small field In which It can work in
labor matters. Something it can do, how
ever, and that something ought to be done.
Among other things 1 should like to see the
District o( Columbia, which Is completely
under the control of the national govern
ment, receive a set of model labor laws.
Washington Is not a city of larsre industries.
but still It has some. Wise labor legislation
for the city of Washington would be a good
thing In itself, and It would be a far
better thing, because a standard would
thereby be set for the country an a whole.
in tne neia or general legislation re
lating to these subjects the action of con
gress is necessarily limited. Still there
are certain ways In Which we can act. Thim
the secretary of the navy has recommended,
wun my coraiai ana nearly approval, tne
enactment of a strong employers' lia
bility law in the navy yards of the nation.
It should be extended to similar branches
of the governmtnt work. Again, some
times such laws can be enacted as an
incident to the nation's control over inter
state commerce. In my last annual mes
sage to congress. I advocated the passage
of a law in reference to car couplings to
strengthen the features of the one already
on tne statute dooks so as to minimise
the exposure to death and maiming of rail
way employes. Much opposition had to be
overcome. In the end an admirable law
was passed "to promote the safety of em
ployes and travelers upon railroads by
compelling common carriers engaged In
interstate commerce to equip' their cars
with automatic couplers and continuous
brakes and their locomotives with driving
wheel brakes." This law received my sig
nature a couple of days before congress
adjourned. It represents a real and sub
stantial advance In an admirable kind ot
legislation.

CINCINNATI, April . This afternoon
Judge Lurton concluded reading his opinion
denying an application to restrain th.4
Union Pacific from voting Its 600,000 shares
at the Southern Pacific annual meeting.
The opinion, which wa quite lengthy,
wa against the contention of the, com
plainant that the Union Pacific was a
necessary or actual party to ths suit, even
though President Harrlmaa of the Union
Pacific had made an affidavit in the esse.
As to the claim that the Union Pacific wa
expending the receipts of the Southern
Pectflo In betterments on the Central Paci
fic with a view to the ultimate purchase
of that road, the court held that all this
wss specifically denied by the defendant
and that even If true It could not be sus
tained except on a showing that the action
was ultra vires. Oa the whole case the
court held that the bill be dismissed.
Senator Foraker Immediately gave notice
ot appeal from the minority stockholders
of the Southern Pacific, and asked that
pending the hearing the election of direc
tors of the Southern Pacific set for April
8 be stayed. Lawrence Maxwell and Judge
Humphrey, representing the defendants,
agreed, and an order was entered permit
ting the Stockholders to meet as arranged
and elect a chairman aad then adjourn
until called by Mr. Harrtman after the ap
peal has been disposed of.
Gives Permission to Try Altai".
After reciting the facts In a history of
the contention, the Judge said:
Without expressing an opinion as to the
power of a court of equity to Interfere
with the privilege of a stockholder io vote
his shares as he pleases and for whom
he pleases, if he be lawfully coinpeteht to
own and hold the shares at all. or an
opinion Uron any of the rncst Interesting
questions which arise properly only in a
cause to which the Union Pacific is a
party, I must decline to grant any Injunc
tion restraining the voting of the Union
Pacific shares at the approaching election
for directors.
The application to retain the cause for
a reasonable time In order that the Union
Pacific Railroad company may be im
pleaded in a forum having Jurisdiction
over it to try the question of its right to
hold and vote the shares in question and
to continue the stay ordr heretofore
granted until such litigation may be started
and brought to a conclusion must b
denied, a
To continue the stay order heretofore
granted for the purpose desired will be in
effect to dispose of this litigation, for If
the Union Pacific Railroad company be
denied the right to vote Its shares at the
election to be held under the company'
bylaws, It would be to turn that company
out of Its control and place the minority
stockholders In. and thus accomplish the
ends sought by this proceedings, without
Jurisdiction over the principal party
thereby affected.
There remains the Question as to whether
I shall not grant an Injunction to prevent
the defendant from disposing of shares of
the Central Pacific owned by It, or ot the
lease of the Central Pacific to the Union
Pacific company, or anyone acting for it
and in ita Interest.
Ilepadlates Actions Allea-ed.

also directors of the Union Pacific, should
by their votes, discharge ths double t unc
tion of buying for the one company and
selling for the other.
The design or purpose to dispose of the
Central Pacific stock. In whole or In part,
or of the Central Pacific lease, has most
positively been repudiated by the derend
ant corporation: and there haa been pro
duced no evidence whatever in support ot
the cnrg' ot sucn a purpose made py tne
hill! other than the fact that larae ex
penditures are being made upon the Central
Pacino line.
But unless it could be shown that thess
expenditures were either ultra vires or in
pursuance ot some fraudulent scheme in
disregard of the interests of the defendant
company only would afford no ground for
appeal to the powers of a court of equity.
Such matters He in the discretion ot the
managing director and It is the funda
mental law of corporations that the dis
cretion of those having the power to act
will not be restrained upon the application
of a minority who may entertain a differ
ent opinion as to the wisdom of the ex
penditure. .
The complainants may at any time here
after make another application .upon ob
taining evidence of a purpose to deal with
the Central Pacific stock or lease as they
profess to apprehend.
A motion to appeal was then sustained
and the Southern Pacific election postponed
pending the appeal.
