TREMENDOUS INFLUX
OF ASIATIC LABORERS
Arouses the Department of Commerce
and Labor to Some Action at Last
to Restrain the Evil.

The Department of Commerce
and Labor is at last becoming
aroused at the tremendous influx
of Asiatic laborers via Mexico and
Canada. 1t is proposed by the
government to establish patrol
systems along the borders, but the
admission is made that the best
that can be done is merely to re-
duce the number of immigrants.
1t is stated in Washington dis
patches that far-reaching organi-
cations, with headquarters in Hon
olulu, are making it comparatively
easy for Japanese coolies to get in :
to the country. 1t is not stated,
however, that capitalistic interest
such as railway corporations,
mine operators, fruit growers, etc.
are subsidizing these labor
bureaus. Their object is to obtain
cheap labor that will work cheaper
than the cheapest Europeans, for
the less they pay in wages the
greater will be the dividends for
the hog plutocrats. There is no
sentiment connected with this in
ternational exploitation and the
importing capitalists care nothing
about the unfair competition to
which they are subjecting the
American working people, nor the
possibility of fighting the flames of
war. The greed of capitalism
knows nc hmits-Citizen.

The following taken from the

Socialists have been arrested upon
the grave charge of selling copies
of ''The Open Shop" a pamphlet
by Clarence Darrow. Since the
Socialist party got out an injunc-
ton restraining the police from in
terfering with Socialist meetings,
the vigilant guardians of the law
have concentrated their attention
upon the prevention of sales of
literature at meetings. 1t is not
likely anything will come out of
the latest arrests. But if the
plutocratic authorities can only
nag the Socialists they are happy.

~ sufficient reason for perversion
OF the Judicial procedure.
Judges have not taken warning
from the,protests made against the
misuse of the writ of Injunction.
therefore the people introduce trial
by jury, law form, into what tho
books say is an equity proceeding.
1t can't be helped, because tho
people will not stand for a Judge
substituting his order for the
statute books and then making
himself the accuser, the prosecutor,
witness, judge and jury to send a
man to prison, sometime for II term
longer than could have been i'm.
posed had he been found guilty by
IA jury"
Secretary Taft sent striking
bricklayCrs to jail in Cincinnati in
le94 and also punished American
Railway union leaders in the same
summary fashion. Debs and some
OF his colleagues were sent to Jail
that same year, and the supreme
court of the United States upheld
the judge who did it, thereby Civ
ing the sanction OF the highest
court in the land to tho practice
which many lawyers think is 81
rotton invasion of the rights Of the
citizen. Laws have been enacted
on the subject III some states, but
the courts have upset them.
Oklahoma has made it impossible
ior the courts to exercise the
drastic power of sending man to
prison because. u judge by order
forbids things that arc unlawful,
and thereby gets rid of the right
of trial by jury.
The railroad brotherhoods, the
members of which fought Debs
and his American Railway union,
are represented as being more
hostile toward Secretary Taft on
account of his government by in.
junction than might be expected.
They did not like Debs' way of
making a fight, but they have no
greater love, it IS said, for the
Taft way of breaking strike than
ohfSy hdb tti itSIS.
Hostility toward Taft on account
of those injunctions is said to be
strongest among the responsible
members of organized labor than it
is among the more flighty. If that
IS SO it means a fight against the
Ohio candidate that will be worth
watching. Gompers and his as
sociates were beaten, last Novem-
Der by all the candidates against
whom they made strong fights,
but in every case the majority was
cut down to disturbing narrowness.
In no case was there any man a
candidate AGAINST whom organized
labor had as black mark as there
is against Secretary Taft. The fact
is worth considering. Frankly,
the test of Taft, it is believed, will
be made on a question whether he
ought to have issued the inj functions
he did in 1894.
The fact that he worked as hard
against the eight-hour day in Pan
anna as he knew how is not nearly
so serious an ofIense in the eyes of
labor leaders, because they under
stand the slow, poky way most of
the laborers in the tropics work
and make allowance for that. But
they can see no excuse for the Taft
lnJunctions in 1894, hence the Com
pers fight on the war secretary.

obviously concrete will not re-
place rails, wire products or steel
castings, which cuts 6.35O.000 tons
out of the reckoning. OF the 1,9O0,-
600 tons of structural shapes a con-
siderable proportion goes into steel
cars. The balance. with portion OF
the plate tonnage, goes into immov-
able fabricated structures. More
than one-fourth, or more than 1,0OO,-
900 tons. of the 100000 tons of
plate and sheet tonnage goes into tin
plates, galvanized sheets and back
sheets OF light gauge. A large pro-
portion OF plate tonnage goes into
steel cars. and a considerable pro-
portion OF the remainder into ship
building. Obviously we shall never
have concrete ships or concrete cars.
OF the total shape and plate tom
mage, probably less than 100000
tons is vulnerable. and some fraction,
possibly not a large one, concrete
might be made TO replace Having al
ready thrown out 6,350,000 tons, let
concrete be given the whole 2,000,-
600 tons of plate and shape tonnage,
leaving 100000 tons in these
branches to be thrown out. Coming

growth of concrete would increase
rather .han diminish the use of such
forms, OF the 5.75O.OOO tons of iron

considerable percentage could pos
sibly be affected by concrete.
Altogether. it would appear that

She does not ride upon n broom,
She has no noxlous herbs to brew;
She does not haunt place where
gloom
Enables her to shrink from view,
But oh, the shrew,
She charms with two
sofe eyes of most bewitching blue.
She has no long, projecting chin,
No yellow fangs, no searching
stare;
No evil charms are hidden In
The gewgaws she delights to wear;
But she is fair
And has n pair
OF lips that make me long to dare.
She mas no bony, crooked claws,
There is no shrillness in her tone,
But ah. she is a witch, because
Men never have gonth forth to

Who could have known
Charms such as when she smiles

RECRUITING WITH KISSES.
IL Was Thus That the Duchess of
Gordon Raised Regiment.

The famous Gordon Highlanders
are probably the only regiment ever
recruited by woman. IL was n
duchess who did the recruiting and
the manner of II set a nation to gos-
I siplng.
In the year of 1894, says the Army
and Navy Life. King George III.
found he needed more soldiers
and commissioned the youthful mar
quls of Huntley TO raise a regiment
of Highlanders from the tenants on
the lands of his father. the duke Of
Gordon.
The young marquis found II no
easy task to persuade the Highland
ers to leave their homes, for In those
days when a man enlisted he was n
kings man for life. or until he was
so stricken by wounds or disease as
to be of no use as a soldier.
Seeing his difficulty. his young
mother, the beautiful duchess. deter
mined TO help him. Donning a SOL
dier's tunic and a Highlander's
bonnet, and carry with her a bag OF
shillings, she mounted her horse and
made daily tours of the countryside.
Arriving at the cottage of a likely
man. she called him forth. pointed
out the glory of soldiers life and
putting a coin between her lips. in
yited him to come and take the
kings shilling. Such an Invitation
from the Duchess of Gordon was not
likely 10 be refused and as she bent
down in the saddle each man took
the coin from her mouth with his own
lips.
There We're some shy lads who
would have taken the shillings from
its rare resting place with their
fingers, but the duchess would allow
no such timidity, All Scotland was
ringing with the news that every man
who Joined the new regiment should
have the privilege of kissing the beau
tiful duchess. and the duchess saw
to it that every recruit exercised his
privilege.
With such a recruiting sergeant
It is not surprising that the regiment
was established at full strength in
less than four months.
