it is surprising that a seasoned speak?

assumed that the siens of Impatience

the result of sensitiveness under his

relief were t,.'?i that he recognized them

was undoubtedly responsible for the
suggestion by Representative? M?('all of
an amendment to the federal Constitu?

'was the result of the passage ?>f s law
by the Massachusetts Lepislatui?- CO?-I
pelllng a reduction of the hours ol labor
in the textile industry to tifty-'our a
week. The manufacturers thereupon eut
wagea to coirrspond, and tteoperativea
resisted the reduction. Massachusetts

seems to think that if Oongress had the
authority to regulate hours ? f labor
overywhere uniformity could be secured
aud the handicap Under which Massa?

stronghold of stat?- rights sentiment,
sine?? their natural conservatism wai

A SOUND DEFENCE
Albert H. Walker So Characterizes the
Reply of United States Steel.
To the Kditor of The Tribune.
su: You lately published as scoount 0
the answer Hied by the Culled States BtSSl
Corporation in the Sherman law case, which
Lbs Attorney Oeneral lately atarte- against
that corporation In the I'nited States Court
In New Jtersey. In that account you In
dud- the Statement: "As a principal rrason
avhy-th- St?'?-l Corporation should not he
obmpelled to dissolve new, ths snswsr sab?
niltted that. nft'*r uniulesring In the or
guilsatlon of ths Steel Corporation for so
long ? ',uic, ami after rights of so served
a character havs grown up therein, it Is!
noav too lat?' f?.r the government to Insist
In a ?ourt of equity that such organization
was in Its.-lf, and without regard to Its
aft.r practices, Stl liioKal 111111??."
In jrour ciiitiiriiii of to-day, which Is en
tltled "Delay Under the Sherman Act."
you say, when aoeakini* of that defen?*e
In the Cnited States Steel case, that "th?*
ne. i>l??a might have been urged In be?
half of tho Standard Oil Company or the
Tobacco comMnatton, <>r. la fact, of most,
if not ill. Of the trusts that have been
prosecuted."
In Ths Tribuno of May 16. 1011, you kind?
ly state! In respect cf myself: "Albert H.
Walker Is regarded as an authority on the
SlKt-man anti-trust law." This compli?
mentary mention of my relation to tbu
Sherman law may perhaps be thought to
qualify nie, at least to *-onv extent, to
SStlmats the legal force of that defence
Which you have designated as a principal
defence Interposed by the United States
Steel Corporation to tho Sherman laav suit
against It- I may therefore properly men?
tion that I have Riven much radical and
careful consHeratlon to that point, and
have been carried thereby to tho conclusion
that ths defence In qu?stlon Is a perfectly
good one. It is my opinion that the utter
neglect by th<* government during more
than ten years after the Steel Corporation
was organized to bring any m lion under
the Sherman law against that corporation
constituted SUCk laches as to disentitle the
government to a dserSS ?SBOlvtng that eor
r"ratlon new.
Of coins?., I know nil about the andojit
maxim, "Null.itn tempos oectirrlt regl."
Whleh v.Ml be thought by many lawyers to
fatal to the opinion I inn expressing;
and 1 al?) know all about the points In
pilty Jurisprudence which avili be called
to the min?1s of ?iliKiii'il lawyers by my
rifpf nro to th;?? nii^im. In faet. T mip
pose 1 nm acquainted with hii shies of the
subject; and. anyhow, i have no hesitation.
wbatevei In expreastag the opinion that
the defines Of Inches, which you unv the
United states st."! Corporation has Inter
po (I. is a good defence. But you are
partly oy perhaps wholly in error in *,*>p
? that the same defence ralght have
been a. property nrgsd in behalf of ths
standard <M1 Company or the Tobacco rom
Mention, or, in fact, most, If not all. of
the trusts that have been prose? ut?*d under
the Sherman law, Par th?? facts in every
|00S 'f the rase- to which 1 refer were
llttStertally different from the farts In the
1 ici stat.s ut. et eass
! I have no doubt that this defence of
I though now laterpoesd for the first
time In any Sherman law cas?., will be
found evaltaMs hereafter by many ?*or
poratlons against which BtdtS may here?
after bs lirouitbt under Section 4 of the
