BOTH SIDES OF LABOR QUESTION AT FAULT American ' Social Selene Association Llsteaa ta Prominent Speak, re on the Labor Topic BOSTON, Mar 1 The general meetings of VKl of. the American Social Science as sociation began here today. The program covers Marions Including; Saturday morn ing and tba discussions scheduled are: Thursday,; "Social Economy;" Friday, "Health and Jurisprudence;" Saturday, "Education and Art" Tho speakers are persons of prominence In various branches of professional and scientific activity. The principal speakers today were Geviga H. Anderson and Leeds H. Brandels, leading f lerabers of the Suffolk county (Mass.) bar, 'and Prof. Eugene Waumbaugh of the Harvard Law school. Mr. Anderson spoke on "Some Responsi bilities of Capitalists Organisation." He aald in part: In considering some of the responsibili ties of capitalistic organisation it is not to be overlooked that the career of the labor organisations has not been marked by any such love of wisdom, Juatloe and lair dealing as to evoke our moral enthusiasm. Nor have the labor organizations any moral standing to denounce trusts, tor their movement Is as distinctly a combina tion or trust as is. the capitalistic move ment. The two movements are like in object. In the great eon test now carried on be tween these two organised forcee it is ob served that there are at least two main dislderata: First, that the parties to the contest should become so nearly equal in real and apparent power that eacn may coma to respect the other, to the end that an equilibrium .apprueUniMlUiK- justice, may result. "The organisation of labor is an ab solute condition precedent Under present condltons to any sound souls k and in dustrial progress. To oppose tt organisa tion, to attempt to prevent it by constitu tion or to denounce It In terms recently used at the manufacturers' association meeting at New Orleans Is both futile and foolish. The second desiderata la that there should be an Increased respect for law and justice on the part of laoor and capita1. The final appeal mut', be to Justice. In weighing th power of the two con tending forces nothing is more foolish and misleading than a comparison of wages with Interest and dividend rates for the purpose of determining the share re ceived by capital and the share received by labor In the Joint production of both. LltUa Faith la Bhermaa Aet. He declared that it did not follow that the remedy la to be found In such legisla tion as the Sherman act. It was a law far more likely to be abused than used. Under i our law permitting the private ownership cot only of the surface of the land, but of I all minerals and metals beneath the sur- face, the coal and iron supply of the coun try would soon be entirely under monopoly control. The ownership and control of the anthracite coal supply, he contended, wss Just cause for revolutionary sentiments and activities. - ' The main objection to trust combinations was in their enormous overcapitalisation . and In the use that Is made of that over capitalisation. In the last generation, he declared, the legislation of the country had been mainly controlled by capital, and in not a few of the states Jhe sale of legis lation was a regular business. In conclusion Mr. Anderson said: It is one of the present responsibilities of cepitaustio organisations to undo the evil they have wrought, to teach the voters that the powers of the ballot box and of the legislative hall are to be held and ex ercised ss a sarred trust for the benefit of the commuulty as a whole. If capital falls xo recognise me necessity or just laws, re spected and obeyed, it may expect little mercy at the hands of Its adversaries when tney discover their real power. If social Ism comes, the main responsibility will rest upon the capitalists organisations. Strike la Averted. BEATRICE, Neb., May 14. (Special Tel egram.)

RIGHT OF WAY INDEFINITE Eiilroadi Use it ai a Mantle to Cover Up Much Property. 1 VIEWS OF REAL ESTATE MEN ON TAXES Aedltor Weston Takes Exreptloa to View that State Board Shoalil Bet a Precedent for Local Assessors. (From a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN, May 14. (Special. )-The need of a law defining the right of way of a railroad company and setting forth lust how many feet of land Is to be Included In the right of way, was clearly demonstrated this afternoon in a three-cornered debate between members of the Omaha Real Estate exchange, the State Board of As sessment and a representative of the Union Pacific Railroad company. The facta brought out in the case were that the right of way ranged from 00 feet to 1.J00 or 1,400 feet, or whatever the railroad chose to call Ita right of way. The occasion was the appearance of the representatives of the Omaha Real Estate exchange before the State Board of As sessment. W. O. Ure acted aa spokesman for the exchange, and he was coached by President Harrison, F.'D. Wead end C. E. Brown. They were asking for an Increased assessment of railroad property. During the argument Governor Mickey stated that It was only In the province of the board to assess the railroad property on the right of way and he advised the members of the Real Estate exchange to assess the property it thought or believed was not on the right of way and fight for the col' lection of the taxes. At one time In his argument Mr. Ure said the state board was a pattern by which all the local assessors would do their work. and If the state board would Increase the assessment of railroad property the local assessors would Increase the valuation of the lands. This, he said, the railroads would force the local assessors to do. Westoa Makes Denial. The assertion that the state board was the pattern was stoutly denied by Mr Weston and a red hot debate was the re- Mr. Weston held that the state board waa following the lead of the local assessors, and that the board had received the returns of the local assessora, ahowlng that no material Increase in land valua tion had been made. Mr. Ure held that county boards had the right to raise or lower the aasessment to equalise It and cited that the board In Douglas county had Increaaed one concern from an as eessment of iit.OCO to IWO.OOO, and the con earn had paid the taxes. The governor wanted to call on the attorney general to see that everything waa right, but after an hour"a argument the board nnany agreed on what the atatutea said-that when complaint has been filed the county yrA has the right to lower or raise t....i. with a view to equalisation. On many trivial questions the bosrd and the exchange and the railroad representative could not agree and much time was spent 1 n ..II m MTI t .. .a v- Tm haa-lnnlne- his talk Mr. un - desired to be heard informally and to make h. osion one where ciusenn oi braska could get together and talk over .....ion matters.

In Beatrice Mr. Ure aald the right of way of the railroad was BOO feet, which con talned about sixty acres of land, and the value of the property there wss equal to a greater portion of the valuation of the nronertr in the town. The rallroada there were assessed at I t-lt per cent of the val uatlon of the property and they paid $$-10 per cent of the achool taxes. He told ot the trouble In getting assessed the seventy two acres of land In the shop yards of tha Union Pacific company In Omaha, and ha showed to the board a plat with the land assessed and not assessed. Mr. Scribner interrupted to tell the board that hla com pany had filed a map ahowlng the lots and the tracks on the lots. Mr. Ure said the tracks were not on the right of way, or on what ahould be the right of way, and If the tracks were there they must be under the ground. 'Mr. Scribner clalma that thla all assessed locally and Mr. Ure said he couldn't find It on the records. Mr. Ure then asked the board to con alder this fact: That over the Union Pa clfic tracka into Omaha the trains of the Rock Island. Northwestern,' Missouri Pa ciflo, Omaha 4V Missouri Valley ran for distance of five or alx miles and had no tracka of their own. He wanted these roads or the Union Pacific to pay taxes on the assessed valuation per mile on these roads for these few miles. As to whether this tax ahould be paid Into Douglas county alone or pro-rated among the various counties of the atate occupied much time. From the argument It was apparent that neither the other counties nor Douglas will get any of It Never before In the history of American civilisation, according to the oldest Jnhabl-.l tsnt, have the dandelions taken such com- . plete possession of the Nebraska atate cap ital.

Modera Woodmen Ask Rehearing. The Modern Woodmen have filed a motion for a rehearing In the Coleman case which was recently decided by the supreme court. In the motion the attorneys for the order take occasion to intimate that the supreme court took the wrong view of the law when it endorsed the views set forth by Commis sioner Ames that fraternal beneficiary as sociations have no right to demand better treatment from the courts than other In surance concerns. - Commissioner Ames In writing the opinion - made . the statement that the business of the fraternal companies was on the same basis and should be re garded in the same .light aa the so-called old line Insurance companies. The decision hinged on the Interpretation of a contract of Insurance, and the order sought to avoid the application of the rules which are ap plied to old line companies, claiming that the very nature of fraternal companlea Is auch that they are to be subjected to more liberal rules of Interpretation. The ground taken In the motion for a rehearing Is that the beneficiary associations sre'not, strictly speaking. Insunnce companies, and have always been regarded differently by the courts. It Is claimed that there Is. an ele ment of brotherhood about the organisa tion which makea it a matter of public policy to exempt these associations from the ordinary rules. The decision Just handed down by the court met with a storm of disapproval from the legal representatives of the many fra ternal societies operating In the state. It Is claimed that the decision. If It stands, will seriously affect their business. University Regents' Meeting. The board of regents of the State uni versity met yesterday afternoon and de nied the requeat of the interurban railroad for a right-of-way through the state farm.

Lincoln defended the action of the legislature in making liberal appropriation Colonel Cole, commandant of the Grand Island home, alao defended the action ot the legislature, which he aald had "been the moat liberal of any for years, an! that It had made appropriations In excess ot whst had been asked for both homea." The thanks of the eneempment were tendered the legislature for their liberality. Grand Island and Omaha were the only asplranta for the reunion. In addition to the require ments of the council of administration tha Omaha people had offered a bonua of $300, and on a ballot to locate tb encampment next year Omaha won by a vote of IS to 12$. Llnco!n and Kearney both wanted the encampment the year following and Kear ney got It easily. Judge Estelle of Omaha waa the only nominee for commander and waa accorded the honor of a unanimous election. John Lett of York was elected senior vice commander. Estelle for Commander. Judge Estelle was nominated for com mander by Colonel A. V.

Judge Estelle was escorted to the stage and thanked the encampment for the honor conferred upon him in an elo quent address. He said: -"I esteem It the greatest of honors that ever has or ever can be bestowed upon me. Men may be elected senators or governors from any walk of life, but only he who haa won the right to wear this little bronse button can ever be eligible to thla high honor." He waa accorded a hearty ovation at the cloae of hla address and frequently was lu' terrupted by applauae. John Lett of York, who also had no op position for senior vice commander. In few words extended his thanks for the honor he had received. The encampment then took a recess to 2 p. m. At the session this afternoon the election was resumed. 1 Women's Organisations.

He Is a man about 40 years of age and is unable to tell where he Is from or Rive any account of himself. He will be sent to the asylum today. rty. Governor Mickey said It was not In the province of the board to go out and hunt up property to be assessed, but to fix the assessment of railroad property In ac cordance with the assessment of lands and other property. Mr. Ure urged that the board assess railroad property on one-sixth of ita value because it was right that It should be thus assessed. It waa within the power of the board to do this, and he was sure that If the railroads were made to pay their Just proportion of the tsxes, the railroads would see that the land valuation came up. even If they had to file complaints with the county board to do so. He quoted tho net earnings of the Union Paclfio and the Burlington and showed where their assessment was entirely too low. He made his fight on these two roads and paid no attention to the other systems. He called attention to the fact that aome roads whose earnings were very little were assessed aa high per mile aa other companlea whoae earnings were enormous. After Mr. Ure. R. D. Pollard, represent ing the Burlington, talked. He quoted figures In answer to Mr. Ure'a figures snd attempted to show that the Burlington system waa not assessed too low. The members of the board spoke of the added power given to the board tinder the new law, which becomes operative In Sep tember, and each member aeeuied pleaaed that tho law granted' the board the right to reduce or Increeae the aasessment of any county In the aggregate.
