Work for Telegraphers: Railroads Ready to Meet Nine Hour Law
Eastern railroads announced they would comply with the nine hour law for railroad telegraphers as of yesterday. President Perham notes about two thousand idle telegraphers exist nationwide, with 2500 commercial telegraphers unemployed due to last year’s strike. The law is expected to add over five thousand telegraphers, with Pennsylvania Railroad hiring 500 east of Pittsburgh and 200 more west. Some lines, like Lehigh Valley, are rehiring idle commercial telegraphers. New York Central has prepared by running a telegraphy school, while Delaware Lackawanna & Western plans further telephone system development to possibly reduce extra staffing, yet will still adhere to the law.

Judge Hough rules on Taft motion in Banana Company suit
In a late session Judge Hough of the United States Circuit Court refused to dismiss the Sherman act suit by the American Banana Company against United Fruit Company. He held the court cannot judge the legality of acts by a sovereign nation and that damages for prospective profits lack a valid Sherman act basis. The decision may influence related cases, including a $30,000,000 action by the American Sugar Company slated for Philadelphia federal court.
