Pilgrimages of Persians.

A regular line of diligences runs IN con-
nection with the railway trains from
Askahbad to Meshed, making the jour
ney in five days. and they are patroniZed
by thousands of pilgrims who come from
western Persia and from the cities on
the Caspian every year. Nearly all the
third-class passengers on our train were
Shiite pilgrims, dark-skinned men with
intensely black boards and serious faces.
wearing the black fez and the long-tail-
ed coat of black or gray broadcloth. with
full skirts gathered at the waist, which
are affected by the Persians. Most of them
are men of dignity and apparently of ed
ucation. Some of them are accompanied
by their wives and more of them by their
children. The boys are dressed exactly
like their fathers, which makes them look
like Tom Thumbs-dwarfs dressed in
clothes usually worn by people of full
stature.
The government encourages these pill
grima ges because they increase the traf-
fic of the road and promote friendly
acquaintance between its own people and
their Persian neighbors.

Railway to Persia Surveyed.

A railway has been surveyed from
rails and ties are piled up in the train
wards, ready to be laid at any time they
may be needed, but the protests of Great
Britain have thus far prevented that
enterprise from being carried out. The
English think that the Russians take al
together too much interest in Persia but
a year or two ago they were consoled by
a treaty in which the Russians agreed
not to annex any more Persian territory
nor make any further demonstrations in
agreed not to interfere with the British
sphere of influence in southern Persia
and along the Persian gulf.
Nevertheless. the Russians are ready for
any s.eventualty' that may occur. and
if it should ever become necessary to
move artillery and other troops they Will
have the use of two wide, level and per-
feet highways which they have COW
structed, obstensibly for commercial pur-
poses. from Rehst to Tabriz and Teheran.
and from Askahbad, to Meshed, the most
important points in northern Persia.
The road from Rehst to Teheran has
changed traffic conditions on the Caspian
sea greatly to the benefit of Russian
steamship companies, which have mo-
nopoly of traffic on those waters. The
road to Meshed, besides being a great
accommodation to pilgrims. is also an i'm
portant feeder to the Central Asia rail-
road Over it is brought, by camel car
avans an immense amount of freight from
the interior of Persia, and glance at
the warehouses and freight cars at ASK
ahbad will give you an idea or the tons
of merchandise that are sent into Persia
from this point.

ONE JUDGE HAS LEVEL HEAD.
Federal Jurist Refuses to Enjoin
Striking Unionists.


Federal Judge Baker, sitting in In
dianapolis, refused the American Tin
Plate Co.'s plea for an Injunction
against its striking employees at Ell
wood, Ind. The decision is radical
departure from the custom of these
courts. Judge Baker held that union
lists had the right to strike, to present
wage scales and induce others to join
them. In answer to the company's
claim that Elwood officials were not
enforcing the law, the court called
attention to the company's failure to
connect strikers, either directly or in
directly, with this condition. The
workers attorneys acknowledged
sympathizers had jeered and in some
cases had used insulting language,
but Judge Baker agreed that the po-
lice authorities of Elwood must
handle this phase of the question.
The decision is squarely for the
workers, and is probably the first
time federal judge has thrown an
injunction application out of court
