Congress-

SHEFFIELD, Sept. 12.-Nothing
less than the return 10 the tax-levying
privileges enjoyed before the adverse
decision in the William II. Osborne,
case, will satisfy English labor unions,
declared President Haslam today at
the opening Of the labor congress.
mo compromise will be accept

but we still demand the right to levy

lament. which right was taken from
us by the Osborne decision"
Today's congress is one of the most
largely attended in the history of the
English labor movement, due to the
fact that union labor is facing a more
threatening situation than ever be-
fore. The keynote OF the gathering
Is that the rank and file of union labor
must "get together and cease their
opposition to their leaders II the labor
movenen Is TO succeed. Sectional
strikes were condemned by President
Haslam.
An unidentified delegate created a
scene today by Directing TO the adj

NEW DIRECTORY
HAS HEAP OF FACTS
Polk & Co.'s Publication Is Complete
Compendium of Information Con-
F. corning Detroit.

IL you don't believe Detroit has
grown some in the past year, all you
need TO do, To be convinced, Is to take
"A peep at the new city directory, 1uss
issued by II. l.. Polk * Co. As an
nounced some time ago, the directory
gives Detroit's population as 5l5,4l4.
while the United States census figures
are 465.T66. Polk 4 Co, however
call attention 10 the fact that their
figures embrace all the adjacent ter
ritory. which Is part OF Detroit for
all purposes except taxation.
There are In the new directory the
names of 224,09S individuals, and,
heretofore, the actual population has
been found to be two and one-haif
times the number OF names. This
year, however, on account OF the large
number OF single men and married
men not accompanied by their fam
lilies who have come into the city to
work in the automobile factories, the
multiple has been reduced TO 23, SO
the directory estimate is regarded as
very conservative.
Figures given by Polk a Co. In the
foreword show that Detroit has forged
far ahead OF other cities formerly In
her class. Milwaukee. which was for
many years DetroiI's closest rival, Is
left far behind. Ten years ago De-
troit had a population Of 2O5,S76 10
Milwaukee's 204 .46s. Now the official
census gives Detroit 465,766 as against
373,S57 for Milwaukee. From thlr
teenth place, Detroit has advanced TO
ninth and. perhaps, eighth in the list
of cities of the country and forty-nfth
among the cities of the world.
The new directory comprises 1885
pages, a gain OF 202 over last years
book. or these. 1906 pages are de.
voted to the alphabetical list OF
names. Or. Charles ID. Aaron, as us
ual, heads the roll.
The Introductory contains more use
full information about the city than
ever before, which makes the direc'
tory exceedingly handy as a reference
book. There Is an excellent showing
of advertisements. In fact, the direc'
tory for 1910 Is about as complete
compendium OF the city OF Detroit as
il Is possible to compile.

made plain when one of them fired
two shots at one of the autoists who

AS the car came to a stop, the pair
with the lanterns were joined by a
third man and three revolvers quickly
covered the autoists.

the bandits and the men obeyed.
Their money and valuables were
quickly taken by one OF the men

In Dominion square and in other city

Portland, over his Republican oppon-
ent in the first congressional candi-

Is Asher w. Kinds, parliamentarian

RUBBER TRUST VENTURE.

Washington, Dec. 9:-An enter
prise that bears all the earmarks OF
a venture by the rubber trust is the
theme Of a report made by United
States Consul James T: Dubois, at
Singapore.
"A big rubber company" he says.
organized by American capital, and
now partially owned by English cap
italists, has secured tapping rights
over all of the government forest
reserves In the Federated Malay
States.
ttThe territory includes about g.
600, 900 acres, and the company has
obtained the right TO tap all 5elatang
trees on this wide r for q period
of ten years. with a renewal privi-
lege for W. years more. This
company holds also large rights in
South Borneo, in Sarawak, and in
the Karimon Islands. They turned
out $4,000 pounds of ielatong last
year and realized for their recent
sales SIPS a pound.
"On the Harmon Islands, situated
a short distance south of Singapore,
the company is, erecting a $500, 600
factory In addition TO the large one
now in operation In Sarawak. This
factory will handle all the 1elatong
received from concessions outside of
Sarawak. 1t is claimed that early In
1911, when the mills will be in full
operation, they can produce 6,000.-
600 pounds of jelatong gum. 10000
s008 pounds in 1912, and 100000
In 1913. These are estimates made
by those interested in this great en-
terpriBe which promises 10 monopo-
lize the jelatong market"
The dominating interest of the
Americans in the concession Is indi-
Gated by the fact that Of last years
shipments. 1884 tons came 10 the
United States, 1908 to Great Bril-
tain and h.O9S TO continental Europe.
