JUST AN ECHO
Ant.Boycott Association Charged
With Being Against Unions.

New York, Sept. 3.-The United
Brotherhood Of Carpenters and Join
ers of America accuses the American
Anti-Boycott association Of existing
"for the sole purpose Of injuring or
destroying labor organizations by pro-
curing adverse decisions In the courts
against them" The association re-
Gently brought suit against the broth
erhood and later obtained an injunc-
ton restraining 1t from instituting
any general strike on work now in
progress toward the completion Of the
cathedral Of st. John the Divine In
this city, and the alterations to the
United States military academy at
West Point.
In its amended answer to this suit
filed today, the brotherhood quotes a
paragraph from what purports to be
soliciting funds. It reads:
"We have undertaken this work for
your benefit. The expense is too great
for any one concern. We need and
seek your assistance in whatever man
ner your judgment may dictate"
On the strength of this circular it
is represented by the brotherhood
that '"the plaintiffs are not praying
to this court for relief with the clean
hands that equity requires"
The headquarters Of the association
are 81 William street, New York, and
the circular quoted says that It rep
resented successfully the famous
Bucks Stove and Range case and the
Danbury hatters case.

TOO EXPENSIVE
FOR MINISTER
Representative Of the Swedish
Government Could Not A.
ford to Live Here

New York, Sept. 3.-The high cost
of living in America is responsible,
1t is said, for the resignation Of Baron
Herman Lagercrantz, Swedish minis
ter to the United States. He has not
been recalled, it Is asserted, despite
talk Of dissatisfaction with speech
he made. He has proved to be most
affable person to all whom he met,
and has made many friends in Amer
lea. But the high cost Of living has
been too much for him.
Baron Lagercrantz is wealthy-in
Swedish crowns. But Swedish. crowns
are not American dollars. 1t takes
four Of them to make 100 cents in our
money, and while one of them will go
as far over there as dollar will here
the reverse is not the case-four Of
them do not seem to go as far here as
q dollar does over there.
Baron Lagercrantz has large fam
lily. There are numerous young Lag
ercrantzes-enough to make Col.
Roosevelt's heart rejoice. And Wash
ington life proved costly. The salary
Of the Swedish minister to the United
States is between $4,000 and $4,000
0 year. 1t took almost all of that to
pay his rent in Washington, and he
had to go deep down to carry on the
extensive series of entertainments he
gave. For the Lagercrantzes moved
in the Roosevelt set, and while the
colonel is fond Of talking to "the
plain people" and discusses "homely
things anybody who knows anything
about Washington knows 1t costs
money to travel with the Roosevelts.
An Of this is on the authority OF
Charles X. Johansen. editor Of the
Swedish North Star, one of the lead
ing Swedish newspapers Of the coun-
try, and himself one Of the best in
formed Swedes In America.
at is scarcely possible that Baron
Lagercrantz has been recalled" said
Johansen yesterday. II know that he
long ago complained that living In
this country was too expensive and
that, although he is q wealthy man in
Sweden, being the owner Of great
iron mines and steel mills, he could
not afford to support the position Of
minister to this country, even with
his great wealth. III,
''It is only q few weeks since Baron
Lagercrantz was in Sweden, and was
the guest Of the king at the palace. It
seems ridiculous to say that he 10 be-
ing recalled for things he may have
said or done months ago and yet be
received by the king.

-' in Another Case

Chicago. Sept. 3.-Freight rate hear
ing before the interstate commerce
committee commissioner-examin in
which the railroads operating dn west
ern territory are seeking to justify
the proposed increase in freight rates
on certain commodities, adjourned
here today until September 10 when
the remainder of the railroads will
put in their testimony. The adjourn
ment was to permit Chief Examiner
Brown to prepare for the hearing the
case of the eastern railroads who are
to present their evidence and argu-
ments in New York beginning Septem-
ber z, and because the western roads
are not fully prepared to continue the
present hearing.
The Wabash railroad was the last
company to introduce evidence and
its auditor. Thomas Toben. concluded
his testimony Just before adjourn
ment.
At the conclusion of the testimony
of Comptroller Nay of the Rock Is
land railway yesterday, Secretary
Miller, vice president and general
manager of the Wabash company, was
called to the stand and was examined
by Attorney N. S. Brown. counsel for
the Wabash road.
Before offering in evidence num-
ber of tabulated statistics. Mr.. Miller
testified that the revenues of the road
have not enabled the management
to operate and maintain the road up
to the needs of the public, nor to in
stall improvements, which were de-
sired.
"The income of the road" he said.
enables us to care for the mainten-
ance of the present trackage, build
ings and equipment, but leaves prac-
tically nothing for replacing equip
ment or structures and practically
nothing for Improvement"
Mr.. Miller speaking of the period
since 1905. said:
I'm this time. about 100 locomotives
have been sent to the scrap heap and
we have replaced $50. TherO has
been no new freight equipment since
1907 and no passenger cars have been
added to the rolling stock since 1904"
Both operating revenue and operat-
ing expenses have increased, Mr.. MIL
ler declared.
"The operating expenses" the wit
ness continued, have remained about
constant until this year and have now
grown out of all proportion"
Among the items Of Increased ex-
pense enumerated by Mr.. Miller were
wages of employees. which according
to tables presented by him, increased
for the transportation and mainten-
ance of way department, $1.642.00O in
1910 over the amount paid in 1908.
For the locomotive and car depart
ment employees, the increase from
1908 to 1910 was $696,165.
Wage increases allowed since June
this year" said Mr.. Miller, will
amount to 100000 a year and the
enginemen have asked for 100000 q
year more and conductors and brake
men and the shopmen are now con-
sidering what their demand for moro
wages will be-"

VIEW OF ARKANSAS SCHOOLS.
Report at Educational Conference Is
 Highly Illuminating.

Little Rock-In the course of pro eceding at the recent cducatioal con ference held in this city, a report on the schools of Arkansas was sub mitted, as follows
 "The first compulsory attendance laws enacted in Arkansas became eff fectiye with the beginning of the school year for 1909 and 1910. Two acts were passed by the last gen eral assembly, one requiring a min mum attendance of one half of the school term between the age O.. eight and sixteen years and is effec- tive in thirty-one counties. The oth- CT places the age limit from eight to fourteen years and is effective in nine counties.
 This leaves thirty-fye counties in the state without compulsory eda- cation A marked increase in the attendance in both town and rural schools is reported from all sections where these new laws apply. The last general assembly appro- priated $16o,O00 for the establish ment of four agricultural schools in the state, one in each of four dis tricts.
 Consolidation of school districts has been made possible by an en- actment of the last general assem- bly,, which permits the patrons Of any trritory to petition the county court for the organization of a spe- cial school district having all the rights and privileges previousy al lowed only to schools in incorpora- ted towns and cities.
 The Arkansas State Normal school at Conway opened it's second school year in September, 1909, and has an enrolment of over tho hundred. An appropriation from the Peabody fund is being applied in the establishment of model farm to be conducted in conjunction with the agricultural de pertinent of the state normal.
 With the opening of the school year in, 1909 the campaign for i'm provement in the schools was again instituted by the department of pub lie instruction. The movement is proving both popular and resultful. Twenty-seven new associations have been effected by the field representa- tive and requests for organizing plans are being received form all sections of the state. This work has been organized in fifty-three coun- ties.

Britain's Rulers.

Mir. Lloyd George is pleasantly proud of his nationality, but it is anna zing that he had to go back to Queen Elizabeth and the Tudors to find his torica1 precedence for Welsh gov ernment of Great Britain. On the other hand, England has often been ruled by Scotsmen. Of the last three premiers, two-Sir Henry Campbell Zimmerman and Mr. Balfour-were Scotch. Mr Gladstone sat for Scotch constituency, and so does MT. Asquith. Ireland has always been busy supplying us with governing men. The duke of Wellington, Lord Roberts, Lord Charles Beresford, Lord Russell and a dozen others immediately occur to one. It is odd to remember that it is cen turies since Great Britain had a purely English sovereign. The Tudors were Welsh. The Stuarts were Scotch, William III. was Dutchman and the Guelphs are of German descent.- London Chronicle.
