FOREIGN LABOR
TYPES

MADRID, Nov. 20. - Spanish
workmen are organized into unions
OF no very pronounced strength.
The object of their leaders is main
ly to agitate for concessions from
the state. There are $50 unions in
Spain, with a membership of 262,-
600 nearly half of whom are anar-
chists, and they form together a
national society.
Spanish motormen are badly
paid and are not well treated. They
receive from 60 to 70 cents a day
for 10 hours work. On each of
their two off days per month they
must put in six hours work at the
round house. The motomen have
to pay one-half the cost of their
uniform and are heavily fined for
small offenses. The men contrib
ute l per cent of their wages to a

LESSONS FROM LATE
WAR Been PREPARED

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. %
The military information division
of the general staff of the army is
in possession of voluminous reports
which have been made by army Of
ficers who have been acting as mill
tary attaches with the Russian
and Japanese forces in Manchuria
There are more reports yet to come
from officers who have not return
ed from the scene of activities.
Many Of the reports are accompa-
MED by photographs taken by the
officers themselves or obtained
from photographers with the
troops. The Japanese government
has been careful about allowing
these photographs to get out of the
country, but now, with the termin-
alton Of hostilities, there is no rea-

son why such information should
not be made public. 1t is the in
tention to have the reports of the
American officers carefully edited,
excluding everything of a critical
nature and confinmg the approved
text to plain, unbiased descriptive
passages. 1t is planned to have
these issued in two volumes, one
devoted to the Japanese and the
other to the Russian army. 1t will
probably be year before the war
department will be able to get out
all the reports, but 1t may be con-
sidered advisable to issue bulletins
in the meantime, SO that the knowl-
edge of what has been observed by
the experts in Manchuria may be
impaired to those most directly in
terested.

1t seems to have been pretty

policy to maintain and expend a

influencing legislation.
| am glad that this criminal prac-
tice has been brought into the lime
light at this time and that it is
causing widespread interest in the
matter of corrupt Hobbies at our
legislatures. l expect to refer to
this matter in my message to the
Legislature Of 1907. l have already
referred to it in two public ad-
dresses, and l am very anxious to
stop the practice in West Virginia.

see it stopped everywhere.

pose of using it at legislatures.
But we want to be just in all
these matters. The last few years
it has been the practice of men,
bers of legislatures to Introduce
bills and then biackmail corpora

of money to kill these bills.

According to Ed Dunkle, Harry
Davis holds the record for unique
base stealing. Il was pitching for
Philadelphia one afternoon" says
Dunkle, land at the time we came
to bat in the ninth inning the score
was tie. We had a runner on
third and two hands down when
Davis walked. He started to steal
on the first ball pitched, but no
attempt was made by the oppos-
ing catcher to nail him. On the
second ball pitched Davis turned
around and stole back to first.
Again the catcher did not try to
head him off. On the third ball he
started down to second and when
an attempt was made to put him
out the runner on third came home
and we won the game"
