Here there have been four cases of

The local authorities of Naples are

X charges the sugar trust with vic

and the court is asked to dissolve the

The action will be in all respects sim.
liar to that which resulted in the
smashing of the STANDARD Oil company
IN the United States circuit court and
in general way il resembles the &C.
ton against the tobacco trust. 1t is
learned that an investigation into the
sugar trust develops that all three OF
these concerns have been organized
and were operated along parallel
lines
AS in the case of the STANDARD, the
sugar trust has operated through re.
bates, free storage facilities, secret
agreements and criminal methods for
crushing out competition. 1t went
through an earlier period of its exist
ence like the oil trust. resulting in be.
Ing overthrow by the courts; where.
upon, like the oil trust, it organized a
holding company under a New Jersey
law, which has since enjoyed q prac.
tical monopoly of the sugar refining
business in the United States.
In the cane sugar business the mo.
nopoly of the trust is complete. Diff
culties were encountered in cornering
all the beet sugar interests, however,
and because of the comparative econ.
omy with which beet sugar plants can
be constructed, and the rapid spread
OF beet sugar cultivation, the trust has
found it difficult to obtain a complete
mastery Of this industry. The fact
has been established, however, that
the sugar trust controls 20 per cent.
of the sugar industry Of the United
States. cane and beet sugar combined,
and on these facts the attorney gen.
eral proposes to go ahead and force
the dissolution of the concern.

RIVALRY IN AERoPLANEs.

The momea. the monoplane has the
record for altitude. the biplane has
captured many other records, among
others that for long-distance travelling
says New Orleans Picayune. So far
then. no very definite data has beer
developed to prove the superiority Of
either type over the other. The mono
plane seems the more graceful OF the
two machines, as II more nearly re
sembles a bird in fight: but, on the
other hand. the biplane appears the
stronger, because OF its truss" con
struction, and the steadier because OF
its greater spread Of planes. Ameri
cans will naturally favor a biplane
because it is more typically an Ameri
can development. as It has reached
Its present success largely through the
iabors of the Wright brJthers. The
rivalry between the two types of heav

continue until one or the other has
demonstrated conspicuous superiority
or both have given place to some new
er type, which fulfils all requirements
more successfully.

To the Officers and Members of the In
ternational Shingle Weavers' Union
of America, in Eighth Annual Con-
vention Assembled.
Greeting:-I esteem it great honor
and pleasure to be permitted to present
report to this convention of the es-
sential features of the twenty ninth an
nual convention of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor recently held in Toron-
to, Canada. In preparing this report l
have had to omit many things which l
should have liked to touch upon, that l
might not weary you with it's. too great
length.
The labor movement in America is
second to no other movement in our
national life and the issues for which
we are contending are tremendous. Dur
ing the two weeks the convention was
session every phase of the trade union
movement was taken up and discussd
and it is hard to determine which phase
is really subordinate to the other.
A very brief preface descriptive Of
the city of Toronto and of the labor
movement of our neighboring country
of Canada, might not be out of place
at this time. Toronto was founded in

use our label to any extent. 1t would
give me great pleasure, and l am sure
we would all be very glad if We should
be able to join that department in the
near future. l believe label agitation
for the use of our label should be CO.
incident on our part with that for an
eight hour day.
The convention was fortunate in hav-
ing with them as Yraterna1 delegates
from the British Trades Union con-
gress, Messrs. A. H. Gill and J. r
Clynes, both of whom are members of
Parliament, representing the Labor
party of England. l wish it might have
been possible for every delegate to this
convention to have listened to these able
men as they told the story of the strug-
gle of the English working class, from
the infamous Taff-Vale decision up
ward step by step to the present Lloyd
George budget, the most progressive
piece of legislation in the interests of
the masses ever proposed by any gov
ernment. Those English laboring peo-
Pile have developed broadness of vision
in the political and economic field, truly
remarkable. These sentences from Mr..
Clynes' address furnish, l believe, the
keynote to their success in placing SO
many laboring men in Parliament and
passing So many laws for the benefit of
the toiling classes:
