MUST PAY FOR THE SHUTDOWN.
Polish Court Grants Wages to Elm
 ployes of Thread Factory.

plOytS ol 1Al6du Y dGOotSs
 Warsaw, Russian Poland, Feb. 14.- Considerable comment has been caused by the judgment of the communal court at Widzewo, near Lodz, ordering the Coats thread factory to pay the wages of 800 employees during the ten weeks the works were closed. The factory shut down on November 30, and a shortage of coal was given as the req son for so doing. The court, in render ing judgment, said 1t was not lack of coal. but the high price of coal that in- duced the closing of the works, and found that this was not a good reason for stopping work, hence the order for the payment of the wages of the em- ployes.

DIPLOMACY EASILY DEFINED

Diplomacy is a matter of businnss though polite business, hedoed abont by etiquette and forms and adorned With few frills. Get behind tho lin. gerle and the lingo, and 20 to the heart of the thing and you will find lf very much like the practice of law The man with the best case ought to Win; and when he doesn't, and the man With the poorer case wins. ii is because he is the better man and fhoWs better how to present his case and handle it. There is another nonu. lar notion that the American diplo. natic establishment is weak because cur representatives abroad contend With men trained all their lives in the diplomatic school. We have no per nanent diplomatic establishment. Our ambassadors and ministers abroad are picked from law offices, editorial rooms and even counting rooms. Usu-  ally they have had no previous ac- quaintance with diplomatic work. Yet nine times out of ten they are more than a match for the men they have to deal with abroad. Breadth and strength of character, knowledge of human nature and eperience gained in the rough and tumble of life count for quite as much as the other fellows dilettante culture. It is the iude- ment of our best observers through out the world that our successful American lawyers and editors easily hold their own against their eompeti- tors.

FINES ONLY.
Court Dismissses Several In.
DiCtments for Violation
" of ElkinS Law !.

New York, July Judge Holt, In
the United States circuit court, has
handed down an opinion, the effect of
which is to dismiss the indictments
found against Nathan Guilferd, vice
president, and F. S. Pomeroy, traffic
manager, Of the New York Central
railroad. and c. Goodloe Edgar and
Edwin Earle, the latter sugar mer-
chants of Detroit, charging them with
conspiracy to violate the provisions
OF the Elkins rebating act, punishable
by Imprisonment The court, how
ever, holds that the indictments
against the New York Central road,
Guilford and Ponleroy found under
the Elkins act are good and sustains
them so far as they are punishable by
fine. In sustaining the demurrer to
the conspiracy indictments and dis
missing the demurrer to the other
indictments the court holds that con-
gress did not intend violations OF the
Elkins law to be punishable by inn
prisonment. Judge Holt further holds
that the amendment to the Elkins act
providing a punishment by imprison-
nent was not retroactive and there
fore could not include the men charged
with conspiracy Is .a~f Il. -a,,as., :
