Injunction Acainat Unions.

Judge Chetlain's injunction order
restraining union macMnists from in
any manner unlawfully hindering or
interfering with the business of Rob-
ert Tarrant, of Chicago, has been C.
firmed by the appellate court. The
opinion as read by Judge Ball states:
1.-THE law accords to capital the
right lawfully to combine. to get for
itself as much as it can. 1t accords to
labor the same right. In the determl-
nation of what is best for its own r O.
lection the law must give both CAPT
tai and labor broad field for action.
while the law recognizes the right
of lawful organization and combina-
ton, it also guarantees and protects
the right of every man to his own
labor, the absolute right to work for
any employer upon any terms he may
see fit.
ION the other hand, the right of the
employer to carry on his business in
a lawful way, according to his own
choice and judgment, to do and con-
tract to do whatever work he sees fit,
is equally well founded"

The Metropolitan District railway in
London is abou. to erect the largest
steam turbine plant yet in existence.
There will be ten turbines. each pos
sessing a minimum of 1000 horse
power. The greatest steam-turbine at
present has 1000 horsepower. One Of
the advantages claimed for the steam
turbine for developing electric power,
as compared with reclprocating steam
engines, is economy Of space and
material. For instance, it is said that
the London turbines will possess the
same capacity for electrical work as
do the huge generators of the new ele-
waited railroad plant in New York, but
that, whereas the New York genera
tors are forty-two feet in diameter
and requires forty field magnet poles,
the turbine generators have diane
ter of only nine feet with but four
poles. But while the New York gen.

Machinery and Wages.

The effect of machinery on wages
is we'll exemplifed by the following
figures, says Scientific American. At
one time in the United States a roller
in a rail MILL rolling iron or steel
rails, received about fifteen cents per
ton, turning out from seventy-five to
100 tons per turn. To-day, In some
of the modern steel rail mills, less
than one cent per ton is paid for doing
the same work, and yet by the end OF
the year the roller in the rail mill can
make as much money as he did under
the old method of working. At one
time forty-five cents per ton was paid
for heating iron for making iron rails.
To-day, through the use of Improved
methods, very little more than one
half cent per ton is paid for doing
the same work, and yet the wages re-
ceived are better than they were at
that earlier time.

Commerce and Industry.

In Georgia 94,OSS farms are owned

A large shipbuilding plant is to be
reared at Cooper's Point in Camden,

The proportion Of mules to horses
in the United States is as one to

Half the imports of the United
States are now raw materials for
manufacture.
The potato crop of the United States
equals in weight the corn and wheat
crops combined.
According to official reports just
published the Russian government
expended, in 1901, $13,370,270 In
money and foodstuffs for the relief Of
the famine stricken districts affected
by the last years crop failure.
1t is found that Jordan almonds,
which bring the highest price in the
market and which will grow in but a
single province of Spain, that of Ma.
laga, have been produced in Alameda
county, California. New York city
alone imports $4,000 boxes a year of
them from Malaga.
The old age pensions in Denmark
range from s2.25 to $3.50 per month

good history and habits and have
been ten years in the country without

satisfactory during twelve years.
Experiments in wireless telegraphy

Progress of Municipal Ownership I


The Municipal Year Book" gives
some very interesting facts in regard
to the prevalence of the idea of NUM-
cipal ownership. 1t shows that Of
cities using electricity for street
lighting one-eighth or more own their
own plants. Very few places own
gas works; only one city owns and
operates street railway system, and
not a single municipal telephone ex.
change is reported.
Nearly every municipality owns its
sewage system and one-half own
waterworks. A few cities own ferries,
and few others own conduits for
underground wires, but none own COM
mercial central heating stations.
In the north central states thirty
and one-half per cent of the cities own
electric light plants, while in New
England, slightly less than ten per
cent of the cities own such plants.
