court of the United States
ion day passed on the administration
oJ^justioe as it had appeared in the

States given a final interpretation.
The Stute of South Carolina likewise
won a victory ove rthe railroads

Georgia Railroad and Banking company
property for franchise taxes,
despite charter exemptions.

> While the boys in the East are
i leaving the farms and seeking employi
ruent elsewhere there is room for op!
tnnism as to farm life in some parts
of the country, said Secretary of
i Agriculture Wilson Tuesday in disi
cussing the protection of National
I XJrange of West Virginia against the
1 ngures in his annual report relative
to the value of the wealth of Ameri
can farms.
i The Secretary said the figures, $8,?
760,000,000, mentioned in his report
' as the value of farm products last
year, merely represented the visible
wealth of the farms of the country,
i including stock, cattle, grain, etc., and
had nothing to do with the cost of
making the cropa. He added that
I the department had not reached the
point where it was able to give the
net profits of the American farms,
i "I know," he said ,"that some fari
mere claim that the corn and grain
should not be counted in, along with
i the stock, as the grain is fed to the
stock. But doesn't that make the
, stock more valuable?"
The grange complained that the figures
were misleading and represented
the farmer rolling in wealth, giving
i no data as to the comparatively small
. profit he made after the hardest sort
i of work.
i Last year, he stated, 12,500 boys on
i Southern farms raised an acre of corn
each, and some of them did splendid
i work. This year the department is
l giving instruction to the young men
. in hog raising. "We are trying to
. reach the old people through the
> young ones," he said.
t Labeling of Whiskey.
J President Taft's decision in the
' liquor controversy that "whiskey is
t whiskey" whether it b? blended or
i straight, has been formulated in a
si set of regulations prepared by the
s board of food and drug inspection
of the Department of Agriculture.
The regulations were completed last
week and approved, as required by
- the pure food law, by Secretary Wil.
son of the Department of Agrieul3
ture, Secretary MacVeagh of the
3 Treasury and Secretary Nagcl of the
- Department of Commerce and Labor.
In brief, the regulations declare
. that all unmixed spirits distilled from
- grain, prepared in the customary
1 ways, are entitled to the name
a "whiskey" without qualification.
1 Blended whiskeys must be labeled as
- such.
-I inc term "whiskey," however, is
restricted to distillates from irrain,
and under the regulations, distillates
from old substances, if labeled
1 "whiskey" are misbranded and the
3 person guilty of misbranding may be
3 prosecuted.

Persons who live in cities and

Many Areets.
Philadelphia, Pa., Special.?Action
fraught with possible momentous |
consequences to Philadelphia was .
taken by the Central Labor Union j
Saturday night when that body, rep- '
resenting 14U unions with a member- i
ship of 125,000, it is claimed, voted J
to begin a sympathetic strike next
Saturday in aid of the striking street 1
railway employes. ]
This action came at the end of a j
secret session of about 700 delegates j
in labor lyceum hall which Jasted i
more than six hours. There was ap- i
parently no question but that the del- 1
egates would vote to strike, the split
being on the question of whether it ,
would be started immediately. The
more conservative element prevailed, 1
however, and the walkout was put off 1
until next Saturday.
Meanwhile there is hope that the
street railway strike will be arbitrated,
despite the repeated declarations 1
of the Transit Company, controlling
all the lines in the city, that 4'there
is nothing to arbitrate."
Following the publication of a
statement that was made by John J.
to have been made by John J. i
Murphy, president of the Central '
Labor union, that "a general strike <
should be callled immediately and
there are men in the Northeast who >
can shoot as straight as any trooper <
who ever drew a breath," a warrant 1
was issued Saturday night for the i
labor leader, charging him with in- j
citing to riot.
Riots in West Philadelphia and in <
the southern part of the city follow- '

stones and pieces 01 wood at the
motorman. conductors and policemen. ,
who were guarding the cars. A j
policeman. with drawn revolver,
forced his way through the crowd and
draped the injured to a power house, i
At the meeting of the board of di- ]
rectors of the company Saturday it s
was decided that any striker whose i
previous record was {rood would be 1
taken back, providing he applied for i
his position before March 1. A reply 1
was sent to the committee of elergvmeti
politely refusing to submit to (
the proposed arbitration. This atti- '
tude of the company caused a re- '
newal of the plans for a general '
strike. ''
0. O. Pratt, the organizer of the
carmen, who has been opposing this j
plan, said:
"A general strike will positevelv |
be declared unless the company comes j
to terms. We are prepared to fight
for weeks or months. We are not (
whipped and the company will have to
treat with us." 1
E. K. (Jreenwnlt, president of ihe |
Pennsylvania Federation of Labor,
nid:
"The street car strike has ceased 1
to he a local issue. Tt is now a
national one. The State and Ameri- 1
can Federation stand by to give
whatever support is deemed necessary.
The strike will be won."
