RELIGION CAUSES IR()UBI.L Adventists Refuse to Work Saturday and Oannot Work on Bunday. IMPROVING THE MAIL FACILITIES Auburn Streggling Along with the Same Fixtures Tastalled in the Days Before the Advent of the Rallroad. (From a Staff Corresporident.) WASHINGTON, Jab. . 8.—(Speclal Tele- gram.)—Recently there have beeh a num- |ber of protests trom Seventh Day Ad- ventists against ‘working on Saturday filed | by employes of several branches of the government. The departments Kage been corisiderably worked up over - the - refusal of the Seventh Day ‘Adventists to work on Saturday and oimbers of discharges have rosulted. Congressmian Burkett of Ne- braska is now up mgainst such & propo- sition, having a comstituent who' Polongs to the Adventists’ ghuroh and who persists in refusing to_gualify before the proper offielal because there is no law which, per- mits him to work on Sunday Instead of W. M. Lewis, a constituent of Mr. Burkett, was originally employed in the rural free defivery service in this city. Growing dissatisffed with the work here Mr, Burketl secured the transfer of Lewis to San Francisco, where he was given a place in the postofice. Not being satisfied with his position, Lewis tendered his resigna- tion, which was accepted. Later he wanted to get back Into the government service and Burkett, who is looking out for his constituents, finally secured the relristate- ment for Lewis in the rural free delivery service in this city. Lewis yesterday presented himself to the appointment clerk for assignment to duty, ‘but before taking the oath, which 1s prescribed for all employes of the gov- ernment, he Informed the officer who 1s charged with administering the oath that he was a Seventh Day Adventist and that he wanted It understood that he would not work on Saturdays beoatuso of his réligious sci®ples. He offered to. work on Sun- days, and: thus make up for the'time off on Satufdays. There being no prévision in ‘the statutes for such change in work the -officer administering the oath refused to execute thd same, and the matter was referred to the postmaster general for set- tlement, . . Law and Religlon. Post) ter General Palne, after the mat- tor w brought to his attention, held that it was no business of the department to pass upon a man's religion, but that his legal status must necessarily determine his relation to the department. As a statute is now in force which prohibits govern- ment, employes from working on Sundays except in great emergencies, he could do nothing more than to sée that that statute was enforced. As the Lewls case does not come under the present law, the assistant attorney general for the Postoffice depart- ment has been asked to give an opinfon in the matter. In the meantime Lewis is out of & job, and ‘Mr. Burkett Is conse- quently very greatly worried over the mat- ter. He saw the postmaster genmeral In Lewls' behalf, and gathered from his talk with Mr. Paine that the latter was op- posed to opening his office on Sundays for one or two clerks, who by reason of their religlous scruples were opposed to working on Saturdays. It “is thought, therefore, that either Mr. Lewis will have to forego his principles or elsé separate himself from governtment employmént. o After Better Matl Facllitiew. Since his return to the capital Repre- sentative Burkett has beéen devoting his time to securing increased and more mod- ern facilities for the handling of mail in leading towns of his district. Some time ago he took up with the Postoffice depart- ment an increased rental for the postofice at Plattsmouth, conditioned on the lessor of the bullding at present occupled putting the interior into the best possible. condi- tion, redecorating the walls and generally making the present postafice a delight to its patrons. As a result of his energetic work Mr. Burkett was informed today that A ten-year lease of the present bullding at Plattsmouth had been executed by the Postoffice department at’ an'annual rental of $1,200, the lessor of. the bullding to glve the oitizens of Plattsmouth an en- tirely -new room. Negw farniture to cost $3,000 will be put I, and, the eitizens of Plattsmouth will in the near future have a postoffice of which they may well be proud. Following up his success with the Plattsmouth office, Mr. Burkett has now started in to bring abom. A fike condition of affaits with the postoffice at Auburn. It s stated that the boxes in the Auburn postofice were hauled by ox tewmn from Brownville and that since -the mewory of man in that section they have remained the same.

URGES IMMEDIATE ACTION BY CONGRESS _— Discrimination and All Attacks on Free Competition to Be Made Ille- @nl and Jhable by Cireuit Court of Umited States. WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.—Attorney General Knox has addressed identical letters to Senator Hoar, chairman of the senate judi- clary committee, and Representative Little- | fleld, chairman. of the subcommittee of the house judiclary committee, giving his views on, the subject of trusts. These letters are ip reply to communica tions sent him by Senator Hoar and Mr. Littleficld, asking the views of Mr. Knox. The letters embrace three subjects, the questions which have been decided by the courts, the questions which are pending in the courts and suggestions respecting turther ‘legtslation. Monopoly Must He Checked. The, following abstract of these letters was given out gt the White House tonight. It represents (he general attitude of the | I administration on this subject and was authorized by the president: The people do not desire the business of the country to be interfered with unneces- sarily beyond the control of any tendency toward monopoly. In thls country, where money is cheap and abundant and within the reach of keen and capable men, mono- ufll)‘ will be imposeible 1f competition is | ept free. mall enterprises have certain advan- tages over Jarge vombinations, and will live and thrive if assured of a fair and open fleld. Rebates and discriminatory rates constitute one of the chief restrictions on competition. They unjustly swell the earn ings of favored coneerns, and, by support- | ing a. vast valume of capital stock, which | o represents nothing but unfajr advantage over fivals, contiibites largely to the up- butlding ot mongpoly. Zhe amount of eapjta) umbarked in inde- pendent entorprises in the paat two years at Iéast equals the total capital of the great combinations formed within the pre- vious . twelve. ,years. With - assuranc againgt predatory competition this improve. ment will continue. Individual Industrial experiences; with the -certainty of secure employment of capital, may be. trusted: to compete effectively with such aelfish com- "binatlons as are not formed for sound eco- pom'c reasons, butmerely in order Yo cap- italize _the . country's prosperity for the benefit of fheir promaters. The existence of most of thege combinations has not in- creased the productive capacity’ of the country; they have merely acquired the ownership of pre-existing industries. Recommendations for Legislation. It Is recommended that the amended in ihe following directions: 1. That 'all discriminatory practices af- fecting. inte: te grade ‘be made offenses to be enjoined and_punished. Such legis- lation to be diréetéd alike against those who give and (hose who receive fliegal ad- vantages, and tocover discrimination in rrlcu agalnst competitors, in particular ocalitles resorted to for the purpose of de- stroying competition, 2. A penaity should be fmposed upon the interstate .and ferelgn transportation of goods produced by them and federal courts 8nould be given :power to restrain such transportation. at, the government's suit. Such_legislation s necessary because the existing interstate commerce law does not glve an effeetive. remedy in: this class of cases ngalnst either shipper or carrier. 3. The casus omissus in the interstate commerce act hould now be supplied by imposing a penaity upon carrier and bene- ficlary alike and by glving to the court the right to restrain all such infractions of the law. The prohibition against carriers should be limited to those subject to_the act to regulates.commerce. Only carriers operating a line of rallroad or a rall and water lineaé oné line are required to pub- lieh their rates.and ndhere (o them.

Provision should also be made to reach corporations and combinations which pro- duce wholly within a state, but whose products enter into interstate commerce. This provision should relate, first, to the concerns which fatten on rebates cond, to concerns which sell commodities below the general price.in particular localities or which seek fo destroy competition.. There should be a comprehensive plan to enable the government ta get at all the facts bear- ing upon the organization and practices of congerns engaged in interatate commerce, not with & view to hampering a legitimate businese of such: concerns, but in order to be In position to take action. if necessary. To this end a commission of a special bureau In the proposed department of com- merce should pe created whose duty It should Be 10 Investigate the operations of concerns engaged in interstate or forelgn commerce, to gather.information and data enabling it {o make recommendations for additionul ' legielation, to ‘Te president. This would be a, ecuring proper publicity. This commis- jon should have authority to inquire into the management of any concern doing an interstate business whenever it becomes neceseary or desirable; it should have the authority to call for reports from them to compel testimony from all witnesses and the production of books and papers. These recommendations are based on the central thought that the first step should be taken by a law d at what are Kknown to be international practices directly Teatrictive of eommerce, and by a law se curing ‘some governmental supervision as outiiRed above. ‘A pecial act should be passed at once to speed the final decision of cases pending or fitending to be raised under the anti-trust |* laws providimg for such cases by a bench of ‘circult judges, and direct appeal from the circult court.to the supreme court of the United States. Approves New Bureau, law be ort to the rst step in Representative Mann (Ill.) today reported for.the house committee on interstate and forelgn commerco a substitute for the sen- ate bill to establish a new department of commerce and labor. With reference to the proposed bureau of corporations, the report says: The creation of this bureau will make it the duty of an officer of the government to deal with the matter of corporation infor- mation and. report recommendations con- cerning the manner and extent to which corporation transactions in interstate com- merce shall ba subjected 1o the influence of national legislation.

The bill con- fers, upon the president authority to issue a proclamation suspending the collection of all customs Auties upon such articles brought trom foreign countries.
