The claim of gross discrimina- tion is -he ground,in favor of whie people. The negro is practically denied the right to testify in the police courts. His evidence is never considered or giv- en any weight except to increase the fines.

The Annual Report Made by President Cleveland. Chicago, Nov. 13.—The United States Government Commission’s re- port on the strike in connection with the Puilman trouble has been made public. The report, which is signed by Federal Labor Commissioner Car- roll D. Wright and his fellow-investi- gators, John D. Kernan, of New York, and Nicholas R. Worthington, of Chi- cago, is addressed to President Cleve- land.

The Commission deems recommendations of a specific nature such as the Government ownership of railroads as premature. The Com- mission recommends the establishment of a permanent United States strike commission to act as a board of con- ciliation and arbitration, under the Massachusetts system. It is also recommended that chapter 567 of the United States statutes of 1885-86 be amended so as to require national trade unions to provide that members shall forfeit all rights by preventing others from working by force or vio- lence. The Commission does not feel warranted to recommend the licens- ing of the higher railroad officials.
