of rioting. due to the strike of 15,000 oper-

At least 15,000 other hands were thrown
out of work hy Iho stopping of machinery
and the attacks on mills by strikers. In
one instance a company oi' militia had to
charge a moh with fixed bayonets, one boy
being- probably fatally hurt. Thirty-five
armed rioters were arrested during the day
and a few strikers and mill employes who
were defending the mill gates were treated
for bullet wounds.
A majority of the mills are expected to
reopen in the morning and the militia-
men have been instructed to use drastic

■ •riving Club's Fpedal meeting does
thin gs.
WASHINGTON, D. C„ Jan. 15.—After
nearly a year's consideration the Siiprpmo
Court of the United States today gave
its unanimous approval to the employer*'
liability law enacted by Congress In 19i>S
to take the place of a similar act declared
unconstitutional. The decision marks an
epoch in labor legislation.
The old common law, hedging in the
rights of employes. Is displaced in several
particulars by the statute as approved
today.
Notably among these Is the abolition of
the "fellow servant doctrine'' and the
•ubstitution of a law making employers
liable for the negligence of an employe
resulting in injury to an interstate em-
ploye. Furthermore, it frees the employe
from "contributory negligence'" in many
Instances and limits the effect of tha
Sort vine in ethers; and likewise, in many
cases liberates the employe from assum-
ing tiie risk, when he (the employe; en-
ters employment, knowing the danger in
his employment.
ATTACKS ALT. ANSWERED.
The law was attacked seemingly front
every conceivable point of view. Justice
Var.daventer, in announcing the opinion
of the court, considered ttic»e objections
and rejected caih,.
lie first decided Congress had the.
power.to regulate the duties oC the corn-
iron carriers in respect to the safety of
their employes while both nre engaged
In commerce among the States and the.
liabilities of the former for Injuries sus-
tained by t lie latter.
"Both have a, real or substitute rrtalluii
lo interstate commerce and therefore aro
within the range >t this power." said tho
justice.
Objections were lefuted that the law
prevented contracts whereby the railroad
exempted itself from liability and that
the law Improperly classified carriers Into
Interstate and Intrastate groups.
v Authorities ware cited to show a valid
objection could 4>e grounded in the fact
that several Rtales already had de-
termined tne liability of Interstate com-
merce. employers. Pursuing i his line, i hj
justice said that "now that CongTess has
acted, the laws of the States, In so far at
they -i ever tha satna field, are superseded,
for necessarily that which is not supreme
must yield to that which is."
VtEPNY TO OBJECTIONS.
I'nialiy, Justice Vantlavent,ei- considered
the proposition advanced by Judge Bald-
win of the Connecticut Supreme Vourt of
Errors that Connecticut could not enforce
the law because lis public policy was
crntrary to the lar».
"We are finite unable to assent to the
view that the enforcement of Hie rights
which the Congressional act creates was
originally Intended to lie restricted to the.
Federal courts." said Justice Vandfivan-
tcr. "Tho ad contains nothing: which Is
Eliprestlve of such :t restriction.
"The fcUKge:-lii:n that tho act of
gross is not In harmony with the policy
of the St.?I* and therefore that the courts
of I ho States are free to decline jurisdic-
tion are quite Inadmissible, because It pre-
supposes what, in legal contemplation,
dot s not exist. Congrerj, i„ the exertion
of the powers confided to it by the con.
s'itutlon, adopted that act, it spoke for
ill the people and all the States, and
thereby established a policy for all. Thnt
policy Is as much the policy of Connecti-
cut aa if tho act had emanated from Its
own I.eglslature, and alvould be respected
accordingly by the courts of tile State."
The justice said the court was not dis-
posed to believe that the -exercise of
Jurisdiction by State courts would be
attended by any appreciable inconveni-
ence or confusion.

by Packers.
CHICAGO, Jan. 15.—Explanations of the
i isc in the price of fresh meat, following
the period or financial depression to
11107. was given in the trial of the ten
Chicago packers today. By the books of

was shown by the Government the prac

tho value of the hidos. amounting "to
about an animal, was discontinued
between November, 1907. arid April. 1900.,

to Increase tho test cost of beef and
make It-possible.for the packers to raise

excessive profits.

Staff Special to 'flip Expresit.
WASHINGTON, L). C , Jan. lj.-State- j
ments made before the House Foreign j
Affairs Committee by Chandler Hale, I
Assistant Secretary of Stale, and other
officials of the State Department, in
which it was manifest the Administra-
tion is opposed to the early construction
of au American embassy building In the
City of Mexico, aroused the anger of
Representatives Slayden and Garner of
Texas today, inasmuch as these expres-
sions indicated certain authorities are
trying to forsake a promise made Mr.
Slayden during the last Congress to the
effect the Mexican capital would be the
first, or one of the first, cities to be
provided with an ambassadorial home.
Mr. Slayden, who has been working for
ttvu or three years to have an American
embassy building erected in the City of
Mexico, announced lo several friends this
afternoon with considerable heat lie will
fight everlastingly against the building
ef embassies elsewhere under tlie Low-
den bill until the City of Mexico Is pro-
vided for.
I lie San Antonio Congressman was the
first to introduce a biil calling for the
construction of an American embassy
building in Mexico. The Lowden bill,
provides for the expenditure of tjoo.uxi
annually tor new embassy buildings and
•lies, not more than 116*000 to be spent
ou any one structure and site. The as-
sistant Secretary ot State said today thai
>160,000 would not bo sufficient for a sui'
■"b'e embassy building In the City of
Mexico. Mr. Slayden and Mr. Garnet
contend it would be.
Mr. Slayden is evidently in an ugl..-
temper over the attitude of tluTHDlaio
Department. lie says lie was advised by
Representative Lowden last year If he
(Slayden) would oeaso bis activity for tha
one building. Lowden and other backers
of his bill would see to it that Mexico
City was given the first building.
"I haVo served uotlee on the Secretary
of State that I will fight the whole
scheme unless a building for Mexico >s
provided," said Mr. Slayden. "They
promised and It must be done. It is Im-
portant that the sovereignty snd "dignltv
of Mexico should he recognised in this
way and I ihall insist upon it.''
