They are in the same position as
railroads. A railroad employe, dis
charged by one line, can not obtain en-
ployment from another until he has re-
ceived a clearance from the former.

tempt, the real issue of the matter is

Parker Is Sympathetic

NEW YORK, Dec. 24-Commenting g
on the sentence imposed yesterday by
Justice Wright against the officers of
the American federation Of labor. for
mer Judge Alton B. Parker of counsel
for the federation officers, today de-
clared that the decision would be sub
jected to review by higher tribunal
and that he believed that the speakin g
and writing which Justice Wright holds
constitutes contempt of court can not
be prevented either by statute or ju-
dicial decree"
The constitution of every state -
said Parker, provides in effect that
every citizen may freely speak, write
and publish his sentiments on all sub
jeets; being responsible for the abuse
of that right, and that no law should
be passed TO restrain or abridge the
liberty of speech or of the press"
Analyzing the scope of the courts in
junction against the publishing of the
name of the Buck stove and range COM
pany in the I'VE don't patronize" or
unfair" list of the American Fedora
zionist, Parker AYERS that IF the or
der can be so construed as to prevent
respectful editorial comment upon the
scope Of the decree. or to prevent q
free discussion of it, and an expression
of opinion that if it does not seek to
prevent such discussion, in such event
it offends against the constitution, then
so much Of it as attempt to do so is
void.
1T has been urged that even if the
court, in violation of the constitution.
does make an order prohibiting a man
from making a speech on a certain sub
ject or prohibiting a newspaper from
publishing an editorial on the same
subject, the party enjoined must never
theless obey the decree; if he do not,
the court may punish him, although
it has no power to make the order.
But certainly that which. the consti-
tuition prohibits the court may not do
any more than the Legislature"

Eqyptian Cotton.

After years of unsuccessful effort to
introduce Egyptian cotton into the
United States, the bureau of plant in
dustry of the department of agricul-
ture reports that promising results
have been secured in New Mexico and
Arizona. Several million dollars
worth of Egyptian cotton is annually
imported into the United States and
it has been the desire of the depart.
ment to cultivate it in this country.
Experiments of DIR. Carson, of the de.
partment Of agriculture, in the Colo.
RADIO river basin, within the last few
years, have also proven successful, as
much as 80 pounds of lint having been
secured from one acre last year.
It is said that Egyptian cotton seed
contains a larger per cent of oil than
from any other country, and hence is
more valuable. The oily material in
fresh seed is given at "a per cent; in
dry, nearly 81 per cent. It is used
for culinary purposes as we'll as for
lighting on the States railway. Two.
thirds Of the seed is exported to
France, England, Germany and Aus,
tria-Hungary. During the fiscal year
of 1906, only about six pounds were
sent to this country; at least this is
the statement made in Bulletin No. Z
