1t was when Sam was a stunted, old

was five, that many things happened.
First his father was sent to jail
for life for killing Sandy Mike Sullivan

little Sal was taken away to an in

With a heritage of vice and train

death that morning in late May
found him on the outskirts of sub
urban town, Norham, near Boston.
Sam always tramped for six months in
the year. He had developed taste
for the country; he made living cas-
ily and met agreeable companions.
Usually he rode on freight trains at
night and walked the country roads
in the daytime. By mistake he had
| left the train at a greater distance
from the village than he had realized !;
it was already after nine o'clock, and
he had had no breakfast.
Fortunately. he spied a cottage in
| the distance, and bent his steps to it.
| AS he came near, the cottage resolved
itself into a plain white building of a
shape common to New England, and
he heard children's laughter and sing

He eyed them critically.

He was consuming bread and but

the second mouthful, which was al
most the last, his eye fell on little
hole in the corner of a pane of the
glazed glass door.
"Wot is them kids dom, l wonder?'
he said to himself. and applied his eye
to the hole with the promptness that
characterized his arrival =. deci-

Once in command of the scene, Sam

WHY We OPPOSE lNJuNC7IONS

njunctions will be of the issues during the
coming campaign and it behooves all workers to book
up on this usu1paJon OF courts
Here few points that will floor any defender
of labor njunctions:
From the foundation of government injunctions
recognized for the protection property Sec
ton GIT of the United States Revised Statutes
the coS to prescribe rules for it's application
Rule 3d. promulgated in 1866 provides that special nunc
tons shall be grantable only due notice to the other
party.
Labor injunctons capalistic applications of JUS
tice, masking under hypocritical love for courts
The labor in junction was invented by Alex Smith at
orney for the Ann Arbor railway in the strike OF 1884
It applied by Federal Judge Taft, who committed
Frank Phelan Jail for six months and since then
ly every court has granted these wrts on demand
Labor injunctons authorized recognized by
any legislature
Labor injunctiong deny workers trial by jury-a
right accorded the meanest criminal.
Labor injunctons outlaw acts committed at strike
times but legal at all other times.
Labor injunctions empower the court to act as law
maker judge and executoner.
Labor inunctions class workers property.
Labor injunctons make distinction between proper
ty rights and personal rights.
Labor nunctions rest the theory that when an &C
ton by workers Injuries property fundamental personal
rights can be enjoined.
Labor inunctions protect dollars the of free
press and free speech.
Labor inunctions disregard the wrongs of workers in
a desire protect gold.
injunctions issued the sole afdavits of
who place spies in unions.
inunctions class the patronage Of workers and
sympathizers property right that cannot be sopar
died ny statement Of facts.
Labor njunctions still the voice of protest against
the grinding policy of unfair employers
Labor injunctions differ from injunctions for the
lection of impersonal rights
Labor injunctions guess violation Of the criminal
code will be committed.
Labor injunctions strike time laws
Labor njunctons not entitled to the respect of
liberty loving people.
Labor injunctons judgemade laws thanks to Viii
liam Howard Taft-Toledo Union Leader.

Burma as Producer of Oil

Consul E. A. Wakefield of Rangoon
reports as follows on the oil fields of
Burma and the conditions under which
they are exploited, together with the
oil trade of the province. exports and
imports.
While the oil fields of Burma have
been worked since the middle of the
eighteenth century, it is only since 1889
that the industry has been operated
with modern appliances and in busi-
nesslike manner. Prior TO that date
the work was carried on spasmodfcally
by the Burmese hereditary oil dig
gers. The richest oil bearing tract of
Burma lies in the valley of the IRA
waddy, in upper Burma. Considerable
oil is still obtained from wells dug by
native labor, but the principal out
put is from wells regularly drilled with
modern machinery The output of the
hereditary well lessees is purchased by
the refining company. A system of
pipe lines has been installed
AS both these lines were operated
successfully the construction of a pipe
line from Yenapgyaung to Rangoon. a
distance of 275 miles was begun early
in 1907. This line is now completed
and will materially lessen the cost of
transporting oil from the fields to the
refineries There are four pumping
stations on this line. each connected
with Yenangyaung and Rangoon by
telegraph.
Oil is also produced in the districts
of Kyankpyu, Akyab and Thayetmyo
Pr0Snaptino 9
and there is no doubt that there are
many valuable fields as yet undiscoy-
cred or undeveloped.
From the Cheduba wells in the
Kyankpyu district a thick dark col
ored oil is obtained. which is used for
burning, for covering the bottom of
boats and as wood varnish. The
amount obtained from these wells is,
however, quite insignificant. The
method used in obtaining this oil are
primitive and wasteful The earth is
turned up to depth of two feet over
surface of about 20 square yards,
around which a bank of soil is raised
formed during the rains shallow pond
The oil rising to the surface of this
pond is skinned, scooped up with
cocoanut shells and placed in earthern
pots. This operation takes place at
daybreak, when the temperature is
lowest, as during the heat of the day
II Is HedtiS VI QullS AIlipOSSlDl6 TO
separate the oil from the water In
the months of March and April these
ponds gradually dry up and the bot
tom of the pond is again dug up and
prepared as in the first instance. The
deeper the pond is dug the greater the
seasons product.
Some of the native hereditary oil re-
serves are of considerable Importance
but as they are usually worked in the
most primitive manner the yield is
small compared with the output of the
English firms.

Foreign Spy Sells Plans

Quite number of cases of espionage
are now being investigated by the
French military authorities. The most
serious appears to be the theft of
gun, which has made its way safely
to Strassburg, says the London Globe
There are also rumors of the disappear
ance of plan of mobilization. which,
if correct, will mean a lot of work for
the French war office. Happily public
opinion, though justifiably perturbed,
is not excited.
There seems no likelihood of any
recrudescence of those feelings which
some years back brought misery on an
innocent man and France to the very
verge of ruin. After all it is not much
use being seriously provoked by the
presence of foreign spies No doubt
there are good many French ennis
saries in Strassburg and Metz 1t is
also quite on the cards that the Ger
mans are excellently informed con-
corning the naYal and military arrange
ments of Great Britain, and it is justly
possible that we know a thing or two
about Germany Parliament votes
100000 secret service money every year
and there is reason to hope that it is
not all wasted The outline of any i'm
portant scheme, possibly too, the de-
tails of any important weapon. are
likely TO become known to any foreign
power which chooses to spend a little
money. The secret is known to too
many people who have no real grasp of
its Importance for it to be kept hidden.
But there is really no need to raise the
cry of treason and promptly tear a
passion to tatters.
One man can not betray a whole ma
tion unless he is man in very high
position indeed, and there must have
been something very badly wrong with
country whose leading men appointed
a possible traitor to high Office But
when country commits such criminal
blunders as this it is doomed anyhow.
and espionage, however efficient will
not do much TO hasten its collapse. On
the other hand. If a country's heart is
sound, espionage can do no real DANA ee
