life ana broadened opportunities are
reported throughout the island A cor
respondent states that ireland is train
ng its own skilled labor in manufac.
turing. farming, the dairy business

progress 10 recent years suggested
this method Of letting the world know
that a new ireland is in sight VITA
in few years more than 2Oo agricul-

the cooperative plan. There have
been started 900 science laboratories
and manual training schools, and 40,-
900 pupils are attending the 400
schools. where a general program OF
scientific education Is carried forward.
In the irish textile industries -70,-
900 persons are engaged. and the
work of this kind in the cottages is
increasingly prosperous. Improved ae.
ricullural machinery Is much in de-
mand. OF The 100000 unsanitary mud
novels that existed in Ireland sixty
years ago, only 10000 remain and are

CANADA JUSTICE.

They have way of doing some
United States. For instance. the
courts there often move with more
vigor than in this country. Over one
hundred plumbers have, within few
days, been arraigned In court in
Toronto charged with conspiracy in
agreeing upon unjust charges for their
services. ThiFty-eight of these plumb
ers were fined by the chancellor to an
amount asgregating s10.25O. The fines
ranged from 5000 to $500 each. five
heing imposed of the latter figure
Even these fines were considered h.
the court as erring on the side of len
lency. The plumbers had effected
combination by which they absolutely
monopolized the trade In their sec
tion OF the country. They forced the
manufacturers to sell supplies to no
one who was outside of their combi
nation and all competition was abso-
iutely removed. They then proceeded
To make such charges as they pleased.
Chancellor Boyd in his comments
on this case said some things calcu.
lated to make people think. He
charged the plumbers with criminal
misconduct and declared that their
punishment ought to be salutary les
son. Then he went on to saw thai
lawful combinations may easily bc.
come unlawful conspiracy. A rom.
pany of respectable people get togeth-
er to control a trade and that obferi
becomes so important to them that
they no longer consider the mnrallt
of the means taken to effect 1t. The
result of monopoly is justified to then,
