Floating pool room steamer halted by federal action
Washington reports drastic action against the steamer City of Traverse, with the department of commerce and labor ordering the vessel disabled and its passenger certificate canceled. Citizens and officials in Chicago and Illinois had branded the ship a gambling den afloat, noting weekly runs from Chicago to Michigan lines and games of chance aboard. The department’s move, though contested, aims to enforce navigation laws and curb gambling aboard the vessel.

Courts may order dissolution and sale of plant assets to revive competition. Attorney General Bonaparte proposes abrogating the restraint of Wade and appointing receivers to sell plants of guilty combinations under the anti trust law. The tobacco and solder trusts are also to be tackled as a priority.

Rights of Negroes Recognized in Rail Service Decision
Washington July 9 The Inter commerce commission ruled in the Georgia Edwards case against the Nashville Chattanooga and St Louis railroad that if a line provides certain accommodations for white first class passengers it must furnish equal facilities for Negro passengers paying the same fare. The complainant, who bought a first class ticket from Chattanooga to Dalton, Ga, was moved from a white car to a negro car and claimed color based discrimination. The decision notes the small extra cost of a segregated car and demands parity in facilities for colored passengers.
