I hold to" vh a revision of the' court,
since the history of the Interstate Com
merce commission has shown to my mind
that power of the court to review their
decisions has simply saved this country
from the experience of, European coun
trtea. That experlenre has shown that dis
criminations of a more serious nature than
we have exist, and prove conclusively that
the results coming to us, had the Inter
state Commerce commission the power to
enforce Its decisions, would have been dis
astrous beyond comparison.
When Mr. Boott closed the president's
message on the Joint congressional resolu

coal and oil traffic was read.
Mr. Clapp then spoke on the railroad rale

the right of congress to fix rates, either
directly or through a commission, and said
that a commission could lie legally em

view of tbe commission's rulings. Mr. Clapp
said : - v
Objection is made to the fact that the bill
does not go into details or the Judicial
procedure which the carrier may Invoke.
The bill proceeds upon the theory lhat
when a rate Is Axed by the commiss'nn it
consummates the act of congress, and thai
it Is no more necessary to prescrllie the
detail of the Judicial procedure involved
In a claim that the act amounts to I lie ille
gal taking of property tfian it would tve if
congress named the rate in the bill Itself.
The act of i-ongrtsa is the act of dealing
with the qstMttun of the regulation or a
matter subject to congressional regulation,
fcnd In either case, so far aa congressional
action goea. Is final. But In either case, as
under any. act of congress in the enforce

privation of property, the party making
this claim can go into a court of equity

CHICAGO, March 7 No concessions will
bo made by the Illinois Coal s-rntois' as

was decided on today at an executive meet
ing of the operators, who adopted resolu
tions declaring their willingness to face the
threatened strike April 1 rather than grant
the demands of tin- miners.
The meeting was called for the purpose of
considering n call made for a Joint meeting
of the miners and operators for the states
of Illinois. Indiana. Ohio, West Virginia
and western Pennsylvania at Indianapolis

tempt in Joint conference Willi the miners
to formulate a scale of wages and condl
tiona of labor for the year ending Ma roll
31, 1!H7.
Five Heaolntlons Adopted.
The resolutions follow:
First We accept the invitation to the
Indianapolis meeting, but we are opposed to
any advance In wages and wl.l demand that
the principles of uniformity shall be put
into practice in the four competitive states.
Second That the mining rate in Illinois
shall be so changed as to re-establish the
proper competitive interstate mining rate
whleh Is now out of line by reason of the
shot flret-s' law, which became effective. In
this state last July.
Third That a clause be inserted ill the
contract that the operators be Indemnified
by the miners for the loss sustained by
reason of mines Is'ing thrown idle In viola
tion of existing agreement, when strikes
were called In Illinois owing to the con
troversy over tin shot flrers' law.
Fourth That should a contract be en
tered Into at the Indianapolis meeting said
contract Khali ennlaln a clause to the effect
rliat such contract Is based upon existing
mining laws, and should laws be enacted
during the term of the contract affecting
the operating cost of production the mining
rates shall lie Increased or decreased so as
to maintain the proper equity of such con
tract during Its existence.
Fifth That, falling to secure stich con
tract provisions at the proposed interstate
meeting, we will refuse to be a party to
any agreement that limy be made by the
convention.
