MAK11SG RKVENIR LAW PLAINER
Clear Definition of "Average Capital
of Grnln Men."
(From a Slaff Oorreapondent.)
LINCOLN. March ll.-(Speclal.)-Tbe sen
ate today in committee of the whole agreed
to a bill by Tlbbets of Adams county ' In
which an effort Is made to clear any
doubt that may exist as to the Intent of
the present revenue law with respect to the
taxation of grain brokers. There has been
much difference of opinion as to what la
meant by "average capital,'.' ths grain men,
until the supreme court held differently,
declaring .they could not be made to pay
taxes on tbe average amount -of grain, on
hand during ths year because when the as
sesstir came Around In April, they would
either have tha grain . on. , hand or Ihe
money received for It." Benator Tlbbets
bill reads as follows:
.Jvery person, company , or corporation
engaged in the business of buying and sell
lug. grain for profit shall be held to be
a grain bruker, and .shall, at the time
required by this act. 'determine under
oath the average amount of capital In
vested In such business for the preceding
year, and taxes shall be charged upon -such
average capital the same as on other prop
erty. Real estate and all other tangible
property snail be assesesd separately. "Tan
glble property" shall not apply to or In
elude grain on hand. "Averaae caDital'
hall Include all grain purchased during the
year whether the same has been said or is
astlll on hand at the time of assesment.

HARD COAL SCALE MEETING
(Continued from First Page.)
of the anthracite mine workers and not aa
officers of the union. The operators called
up the report of the strike commission to
support their refusal to deal with the United
Mine Workers.
At the end of the discussion the operators
made the definite proposition to renew the
present agreement for a term of three
ytars."
The present agreement made In New York
three years ago, when John Mitchell led
the miners In the negotiations. Is Identical
with the sward of the strike comlsslon
made In 1903 after the strike of 1902. Three
years ago the miners made numerous de
mands, but all were rejected and they ac
cepted the renewal of the strike commis
Ion award, which is the same, proposition
again made by the operators today.
Demands of Miners.
The demands of mine workers, drafted in
Scranton last October and ratified by the
national convention In Indianapolis In Jan
uary are aa follows:
1. That an agreement shall be negoti
ated between the representatives of the
minera ana the operators of the a ntli re
nte region and all disputes arising under
the contract shall be adjusted aa pro
vided for In the said agreement.
!!. We demand the complete recognition
In the I'nlted Mine Workers of America
as a party to negotiations in wage con
tract, and the Inlted Mine Workers of
America shall be recognised In Its right
to provide any method we may adopt
for the collection of revenue for the or
ganisation. t. That we demand an eight-hour day,
with no reduction In wagea.
4. That all coal shall be mined and
paid for by the ton of 2,000 pounds.
6. That we demand a definite and more
uniform scale of wages and prices for all
clauses of labor at all collieries In the
anthracite region, and that all employes
paid $1.60 or less per day shall receive
10 per cent advance and all employes paid
more than 11.50 and less than $2 per day
uaii ivi-rivr a o per ceni advance.
8. That the system whereby a contract
miner lias more than one Job or employs
more than two laborers be abolished!
7. That the employers be required to
issue uniform pay statements, designating
the name of the company, the name of
the employe, the colliery where em
ployed, the amount of wages and the class
of work performed.
8. That the contract shall be made for
a period of one year.
So far aa could be learned today, a ma
jority of the minera are opposed to a
strike because they feel that they are
not strongly enough entrenched to carry
on a campaign of the magnitude of that
of 1902 and 1903.

BOYCOTT DECREE MODIFIED
Court of Appeals Changes Contempt
Decision and Affirms It
ONE PROVISION STRICKEN OUT
Federatloalat May Refer to Rang;
Comonnr In Ite Columns Kaeent
In Its "Don't Patronlae
1.1st."
WASHINGTON. March ll.-The Ameri
can Federation of Labor may freely refer
to the boycott against the Bucks Stove
and Rango company of St. Louis except
by Inclusion In ths "We don't patronise
list."
This Is the' substance of a decision of
widespread Importance to the labor world,
to manufacturers and to newspapers gen
erally handed down today by the court
of appeals of the District of Columbia In
the noted Injunction case of the Bucks
Stove and Range company against the
American Federation of iLabor, which has
been before the courts of the District of
Columbia in various phases for months.
In a recent decision by Justice Oould of
the supreme court ' of the district the
American Federation of Labor and the
officers, Messrs, Oompers, Mitchell, Mor
rison and others were enjoined from con
spiring to boycott the Bucks Stove and
Range company and from printing or pub
lishing, or distributing, through the malls
or othorwlse, any copy of the "Federatlon-
lst" or other publication referring to the
complainant, Its business or product In the
"We don't patronise" or unfair list.
Decree Is Modified.
The decision today Which was by Jus
tice Robb modifies and affirms the decreu
of Justice Gould. The court holds that the
decree should be modified to the extent that
It shall only restrain the defendants from
conspiring or combining to boycott the
business of the Bucks Btove and Range
company or threatening or declaring any
boycott or assisting therein and from print
ing the name of the complainant. Its busi
ness or product In the "We don't patronise"
or "unfair" list of defendants in the fur
therance of any boycott against the de
fendant's business or product, or of inter
fering either In print or otherwise with
defendant's business as In "We don't pa
tronise" or "unfair" Hat in furtherance
of a boycott.
The court holds that the defendants can
not be restrained from all publications re
ferring to the Bucks Stove and Range com
pany, but only such as are made in fur
therance of an illegal boycott.
Chief Jnetloo Dlsaenta.
In a partially dissenting opinion. In which
he says he Is unable to concur in the modi
fied decrees of Justice Robb, Chief Justioe
Sheppard expressed the opinion that the
decree should be modified "so as to re
strain the acts only by which other per
sons have been or may be coerced Into
ceasing from business relations with the
Buck's Stove end Range oompany, but so
ss not to restrain the publication of the
name of that company in the "We Don't
Patronise" columns of the American Fed
eratlonist, no matter' what the object of
such publication may be suspected of or
believed to be."
Justice Van Ordel concurred fully In the
conclusion reached by- Justice Robb, but
by a different process of reasoning. "The
sustaining of such a decree by a court of
equity would violate the constitutional
rights of the,, cltlsen," aaya Justice Van
Orsdol, In referring to the Oould decision,
"It would mark the beginning of the era
of tyranny by, Jke branch of the govern
ment charged .with, protecting the cltlsen
in his legal or constitutional rights." He
says further , that the clsuse In the con
stitution gusranteelng free speech snd
free press forbids government censorship
In all forms. "It would be difficult," he
adds, "to conceive of a more effective
method of establishing a government cen
sorship thsn through the writ of Injunc
tion." Mr. Oompers Talks.
"The dissenting opinion of Chief Justice
Sheppard." aald Mr. Oompers tonight, "Is
exactly that for which the federation has
all along been contending so far ss tt re
rers to the freedom of the press. The
right to freely express opinions Is a con
stltutlonal guarantee. There is nothing
libelous the federation has published in
connection with this whole case."
me aecision aoes not seme tne appeal in
the contempt proceedings In which Messrs
Oompers, Morrison and Mitchell were given
Jail sentences. This esse will be heard later
by the appellate court.
The labor leaders claim that If the res
sonlng sdopted by Chief Justice Sheppard
and Justice Van Oradel Is followed In the
decision In the contempt esses they will be
able to set the findings of Justice Wright
aside snd prevent serving terms of Impris
onment. PILES C I RED IX 9 TO 14 DAYS.

A person In good health Is likely to have

On the other hand. If the digestive or

"Until recently," writes a Washington

which means full work every day.
"Like many other girls alone in a large
city. I lived at a boarding house. For
breakfast It was mush, greasy meat,
aoggy cakes, black coffee, etc.
"After a few months of this diet I used
to feel sleepy and heavy In the mornings.
My work aeemed a terrible effort, and I
thought the work was to blame too
arduous.
"At home I had heard my father apeak
of a young fellow who went long dla

"I concluded if It would tide htm over
a morning's heavy work. It might help
me, so on my way home one night I

had Qrape-Nuts and milk for breakfast.
"I stuck to Qrape-Nuts. and In less

I can't just tell how well I felt, but I

FREE LUMBER NOT A BOON
(Continued from First Page.)
Plnchot, la already enormous, being several
times larger than our Importation from
Canada. "I do not believe," he says, "that
the Increased use of Canadian wood under
free lumber would equal the Increased use
of Canadian wood under waste."
The chief forester thinks It "highly Im
portant that we ahould have free pulp wood
In the future as In the past and that Can
ada should Impose no export duty upon
pulp wood. In this respect," he continues,
"the pulp and paper-making Industry Is in
a different position from the other great
wood-using Industries of the United States.
The latter can be supplied wholly from our
own forests, while the former must have
free access to the Canadian spruce forests
so long as spruce Is the chief pulp wood."
He declares that ground wood should be
admitted free, "provided that It comes from
a country which does not In any way re
strict the exportation of wood pulp or
ground wood and that there should be a re
duction in the duty upon printing paper."
Mr. Plnchot places the first duty for con
serving the forests upon the lumbermen
themselves, declaring that "by asking for
the retention of the tariff In order to pro
tect the forests the lumbermen have In
substance entered Into an agreement with
the people of the United States to perpet-
uste the forests by wise use."
He declares that "If the lumbermen do not
make the most of this opportunity, legis
lation Is coming, and coming very soon,
which will force them to do clean work In
the woods and to leave their out-over lands
In a condition to produce a second crop."

Not a New Firm
For twenty years we have conducted
an electrical supply business in Omaha
under the firm name of the "Western
Electrical Company." The establish
ment of an Omaha branch by tbe
"Westf rn Electric Co." of Chicago, has
caused much confusion In mail and
orders.
In order to avoid this, and to make
delays in receipt of orders Impossible,
we hare changed the name of Omaha's
oldest electrical supply house to the
"Johnston Electric Co." There will be
no oilier change in the buuiness. A
continuance of the patronage which
has built up the largest supply and re
pair business in the west for us, is
solicited.
