AustraIla,a wild ovstera.

Oysters are sometimes regarded as
dangerous but they are not usually
considered savage. A Queensland
judge, however, has decided that they
are wild beasts. Before q royal com
mission on the pearling industry,
which has been sitting at Brisbane, a
witness stated that eight years ago he
had laid 100000 shells in the neigh
borhood of Friday island. The Jap
anese stole the shells, and the district
court judge held that as pearl shell
oysters were wild animals there was
no penalty for stealing them.

TAFT AND LABOR.

BELOW will be found that portion
of the speech of acceptance of Mr..
Taft which deals with labor and the
Injunction plank. We believe that
all citizens. all workingmen, whether
they be union or non-union in their
Affiliations. must find in the clear cut,
straight forward declarations of Mr..
Taft spirit of fairness and absolute
honesty which can only command
their admiration and confidence. To
read and carefully consider what he
has to say on these subjects, which
have been placed among the foremost
in the campaign, is duty OF good
citizenship. Mr.. Taft spoke as fol-
lows
One important phase of the policies
of the present administration mas
been an anxiety to secure Tor the
wage Garner an equality OF OPP
nortunity and such positive statutory
protection as shall place him on
level in dealing with his employer.
The Republican party has passed an
employers liability act for inter-
state railroads. and has established
an eight-hour law for government
employees and on government con-
struction. The essence of the reform
effected by the former is the alb
olition of the fellow-seryant rule, and
the Introduction of the comparative
negligence theory by which an en-
Move injured In the service of his
EMPLOYER does not lose all his right
to recover because OF Slight negli-
gence on his part Then there is the
act providing for compensation Tor
injury to government employees, to-
gether with the various statutes re-
curing safety appliances upon inter-
state commerce railroads for the pro-
lection of their employees. and limit
ing the hours of their employment.
These are all instances of the desire
of the Republican party to do justice
to the wage Garner. Doubtless
more comprehensive measure for
compensation of government em-
ployes will he adopted in the future
The principle in such cases has been
recognized, and in the necessarily
somewhat slow course of legislation
will be more fully embodied in de-
finite statutes.

ADVANTAGE OF UNION.

To give to employees their proper
position in such controversy, to
enable them to maintain themselves
against employers having great capt
tai, they may well unite, because in
union there is strength and without
it each individual laborer and en-
ploye would be helpless. The pro-
motion of industrial peace through
the ins;rumentality of the trade
agreement is often one of the re-
suits of such union when intelligent
" conducted

ISSUE OF INJUNCTION.

| come now TO the question of no.
tice before issuing an injunction. It
is fundamental rule of general ju-
risprudence that no man shall be af-
fected by judicial proceeding with
out notice and hearing This rule,
however, has sometimes had an ex-
ception in the issuing of temporary
restraining orders commanding a de-
PENDANT in effect to maintain the
status quo until a hearing. Such a
process should issue only in rare
cases where the threatened change of
the status quo would infiict irrepara-
Bile injury If time were taken to give
notice and a summary hearing. The
unlawful injury usual in industrial
disputes. such as | have described
does not become formidable except
after sufficient time in which to give
the defendants notice and a hearing.
| do not mean to say that there NAV
not be cases even in industrial dis
putes where restraining order
might properly be issued without no.
tice. but, generally, | think il is 9TH
erwise. In some state courts. and in
fewer federal courts, the practice of
issuing temporary restraining order
without notice merely to preserve the
status quo on the theory that ii won I
hurt anybody, has been too common
Many of us recall that the practice
has been pursued In other than in
dustrial disputes, as. FOR instance. in
corporate and stock controversies
like those over the Erie railroad, In
which a stay order without notice
was regarded as a step of great ad-
vantage to the one who secured It.
and corresponding disadvantage to
the one. against whom II was Sc

injustice on an ex-parte application
are much increased over those when

EMPLOYER AND ENIPLOYE.

The interests of the employer and
the employe never differ except when
1t comes to a division of the joint
profit of labor and capital into divi-
dends and wages This must be a
constant source of periodical discus
sion between the employer and the
employe. as indeed are the other
terms of the employment

Is their lawful right. This has made
the laboring man feel that an injusr
! tiee is done in the issuing of a writ
without notice. I conceive that In

lator to view the subject from the
standpoint of the man who believes
himself 10 be unjustly treated, as
we'll as from that of the community
at large | have suggested the rem
edy of returning in such cases to the
original practice under the old stat
ute of the United States and the
rules in equity adopted by the SUI
preme court. which did NOT permit
the issuing of an injunction without
notice. In this respect. the Republic
can convention has adopted another
remedy, that, without going so far,
promises to be efficacious in seeur-
ing proper consideration in such
cases by courts. by formulating into
legislative act the best present prae-
tiee.
Under this recommendation. stat
ute may be framed which shall de-
fine with considerable particularly,
and emphasize the exceptional char
acter of the casessin which restrain
ing orders may issue without notice,
and which shall also provide that
when they are issued. they shall cease
to be operative beyond short period,
during which time notice shall he

defendant desires a postponement OF

strainpg order of widest application

junction has been fixed weeks and
months after its date. could not reeur.
SMALL NUMBER OF CASES.
The number of instances In which
orders without notice In
industrial disputes have issued by
federal courts is small and 1t Is
urged that they do not therefore con-
stitute an evil to be remedied by
statutory amendment. The small

DISASTROUS FIRE AT BAMBERG.
Cotton Oil COmpany's Plant Practical
ly Wiped Out.

Bamberg, Nov. 19-Another dis
astrous fire has visited Bamberg and
this afternoon the splendid plant Of
the Cotton Oil Company, at this place
is in ashes.
At about half-past II o'clock today
fire broke out in one of the presses Of
the ginnery. How it got there no one
knows, but, the gins and presses being
in motion, the flames spread to every
part of the building in the twinkling
OF an eye.
From the ginnery the flames leaped
to the seed house, thence to the Office
building in one direction and the hui!
house in another, and thence to the
oil mill and finally to the meal house.
all of which were completely consum-
ed. The only building of the plant
left standing is a small house used for
storing seed cotton. Three oil tanks,
containing several thousand gallons of
oil, also escaped destruction, though
it looked for long time as if an ex-
plosion would occur at any moment.
side track from the Southern
Railway is built out to the mill. On
this two cars-one loaded with coal
and the other with seed--were de-
stroyed.
During the fire Mr.. C. Moye Dick
inson, assistant manager, became
overheated and fell to the ground un-
conscious. He was Immediately at
tended to by his friends and physi-
clans, but came near losing his life
At this writing he is resting compara-
lively easily, but not entirely out Of
danger yet.
The loss is one of the heaviest that
has ever visited Ramberg, and there IS
serious doubt as to whether or not the
plant viii be rebuilt. 1t is estimated
that the loss on buildings, machinery
and stock is not less than $4,000.
while the Insurance is now thought to
be only $4,000
The Cotton Oil Company also owns
plant at Denmark which is operated
under the management of Mr.. Brab-
ham. Whatever seed il saved from
this fire will probably be shipped to
that place and crushed. Several pa
IRONS Of the ginnery lost some cotton
hat had been left at the gin, and on
which there was no insurance-2O or
20 bales having been burned. The
heaviest loser was an industrious col
ored man, named Kelly Williams. He
had six bales at the gin, and only one
was saved. The loss falls heavily upon
him.
