contracted between the ages Of fifteen

number Of patients the disease shows
itself at about eighteen; that 1t develops
very slowly, so that the patient does
not require much medical aid before

Odd Marriage Belief.

An unmarried man or woman OF
marriageable age is something that Is
rarely seen in the Fiji islands. The
reason of this is not far to seek. The
natives believe that if a person dies
while in an unmarried state his or her
soul is doomed to wander about
through endless ages Of eternity in an
intermediate region between heaven
and hades. at the end of each moon
they are allowed to look into heaven
but are never permitted to enter.

HOW CANADA DEALS
WITH TRADE COMBINES

the case of the Master Plumbers
association and the Central Supply
association. each of which were fin
ed $4,000 and costs for combining
in restraint of the plumbing bust
ness. Besides, seven individuals
were fined from $3.50 to $500, and
the 1876 other members of the Mas
ter Plumbers association, which
includes all but four or five master
plumbers in the city, were commit
ted to trial.
The history of the conspiracy is
interesting because of its boldness
and success. Two years ago the
master plumbers entered into a
hard and fast agreement to corner
all the work of Toronto and also
of some smaller cities in the prov
ince, and to do so effectively found
it necessary to include in their OPP
erations the houses dealing in
plumbers supplies and also the
journeymen plumbers union. They
extended their sphere to the small
er supply houses in other parts of
Canada and finally into the United
States, for after the secretary, w.
II. Meredith, had visited st. Louis,
New York, Buffalo, Detroit and
Chicago an arrangement was found
to exist by which United States
firms could not submit figures for
work in Toronto without first mott
flying the association here. Also,
the supply houses in the United
States were not to furnish non
members of the association in Can
ada with materials or supplies.
Appeal to Government.
Plumbers not in the combine
found it impossible to purchase
supplies in Toronto and had to buy
from New York, Chicago or from
smaller houses of which the Amer
lean association had no control.
They applied to the dominion gov
eminent at Ottawa last May and
asked that the duty on plumbers
supplies be Cancelled. AS a result,
the minister of customs threatened
to delve into the action of the
supply houses in Toronto unless
they "loosened up" to the employ
ers who did not belong to the Mas
ter Plumbers association.
They did loosen up little. but
only a little, for they had taken
oath to abide by an agreement
with the master plumbers to bleed
non-members and the general pub
lie.
The smaller master plumbers and
The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1906-01-12

the combine had been forced into
line by the fear that they would
not be able to obtain supplies. But
a short time ago, finding that the
little fellows who had nerve enough
to remain out of the combine were
obtaining supplies, J. B. Reeves and
James Harrison decided to break
from the combine.
The Union Balks.
Here was the masters chance.
They obtained the promise of the
executive of the Journeymen
Plumbers union that the latter
would order the union men (Which
meant all his employes) to leave
Reeves service. Two orders were
issued by the executive, but the
men refused to respond, claiming
that the relations between them
and Mr.. Reeves were af the most
dmlCdDle Klnu.
Mr.. Reeves now took his turn at
the masters, and after obtaining an
injunction restraining them from
interfering with his men, consulted
the crown attorney, with the result
that proceedings were instituted

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 12.-
The first careful poll made of the |
United States senate on the subject |
of rate legislation, which follows,
shows the weight of opposition to
be among the republican members.
According to this poll the fate of
the rate bill is in grave doubt.
If passed today it would have to |
be passed as a democratic meas
ure
Taking the promises Of the demo-
cratic members at their face value,
the presidents rate bill has fight
ing chance.
In order to pass the administra-
tons bill as republican measure,
it will have to get all the votes
now classed as doubtful, and will
have to win a considerable number
of those now openly antagonistic.
The following poll Of the senate
| is based on: Personal interviews,
published utterances, letters, pri-
vate statements, known political
affiliations and careful considera-
ton of the probabilities In view of
all the circumstances of each case.
Thus, in many instances, the
heart-loyalty Of the senator Is to
the railroad influence whose tool
he has been for years; but, weigh
ed against this may be the fact that
the people of his state are clamor-
Gus for the legislation and he is
soon to come up for reelection.
Many republicans are giving reluct-
ant support for such reasons. They
can be trusted only so far as they
can be seen.
| Many democratic members are
supporting the rate legislation be-
cause they hope by so doing to en-
barrass the republicans. Demo
cratic senators like German are no
less in the real interest and service
of the railways than Elkins or
Kean. But like German, they are

a party policy. Here is the poll:
