The best estimates obtainable, place
the number OF pilgrims who kept Bal
ram this December: at Mecca at more
than quarter Of a million.
These pilgrims, who have always
been regarded as potent unifying
factor in the Turkish empire. are also
a means OF spreading the worlds I'M
rest, even as they are the greatest
single factor in the spread of cholera.
They carry to the remotest bounds OF
Turkeys territory the disintegrating
news OF the changes that have come
to pass, SO that an infidel Christian 10
proclaimed as the equal Of a faithful
follower Of the prophet. They repeat
the stories Of the Young Turks re-
ligious laxity, and Of the serious con-
sequences involved in the enrolment
OF Christians in that army which be-
levers have regarded as the modern
sword of the prophet.
The Most Cosmopolitan City on Earth.
There are other grave consequences
involved in this wonderful coming to-
gether OF multitudes from many lands;
for be 1t remembered that the most
cosmopolitan city on earth is not New
York or London or Paris, but this
productless city Of Mecca, in the ster-
lie desert Of Arabia. However neg
ligible the pilgrims may be individual
". and the trainmen treat them with
utmost contempt, they are scattering
seeds of national unrest. Ottoman
Moslems hear how Justice cannot be
bought, but is freely given to high and
low. in the Moslem ruled by Great
Britain and the United States.
They exchange news Of the worlds

wonder II some well-informed pilgrim

prophecy that soon airships will be

The average Moslem is appallingly ig.

BRITISH WOMEN ARE

Employment of Women in Occupa-
tions Requiring Mans Strength
Crates Harshly on Americans.

WASHINGTON. May 4.-The en-
ployment Of women in the iron trades
in Great Britain does not appeal to
the American trade unionist. It is
common, however, in the country
mentioned and in many establish
ments the women s. workers are
stripped, to the waist while in the
actual performance of their duty.
This custom, according to the moral
code Of ethics of our movement, is
degenerating and would not be toler-
ated. In the. Cotton Factory Times
of Oldham, England, reference Is
made to- women chainmakers, and it
is interesting to note tnat these wo-
men have been granted an increase
! in wages. The paper says: -.
Everybody knows Miss Mary Ma

weavers' shop meetings in Lancashire.
and has also addressed public meet

INDIANAPOLIS, May 4.-Presi-
dent Ryan. of the Iron workers as
sociation says regarding the arrest of
John j. Mcnamara, his brother and
McManigal:
ITO the public it may seem that the
finding of explosives in vault sup
posed to be in his sole control is evil
dence of guilt, but to those who know,
as we do, that in times gone by pri-
vate detectives in the employ of manu-
facturers have wilfully created such
evidence for the purpose Of convict
ing labor leaders, and that such facts
have been established in our courts
time after time, the mere finding of
explosives will not prove so >convinc-
ing.
Already there is evidence in our
hands to the effect that strangers had
access to the vault in which the dy-
Mantle is said to have been found.
ITO US it seems strange, indeed,
the police should find it necessary to
kidnap McNamara and take him to
Chicago in an automobile, when, as
they assert, they have an abundance
of evidence on which to convict him.
