Added to the practicing lawyers OF
Washington must be included government
claim agents. patent attorneys, and scores
OF others with legal training. The regis

these: probably the number Is much
larger. No one knows the number Of So

II Is fact not generally known even

that Mexico has vast area Of virgin

The timber belt OF the country covers the
slopes of the Sierra Madre and extends,
from point near the American border
all the way to the Isthmus Of Tehuante-

are covered with forests OF mahogany
and other merchantable trees.
For the most part the forests of Mexico
are virgin. They have not been pene-
trated. except in a few instances, by lines
'or railway. Realizing the possibilities OF
the timber industry of the country, many
American investors have acquired large
timber tracts. particularly In the States,
OF Chihuahua, Durango. Michoacan. and
Guerrero. One concern. the Madero I,um-

no demand here for the common or gar

are already a great many in the city en-

The Washington architects who are
really adding to the beauty of the city
may be counted on the fingers of one
hand. 1t is said. One or two have an in

must be content with annual earnings OF
from 5000 to 5000 a year.

VITAL LABOR DECISION
MEETS DIVIDED VERDICT
Federation Officials Alarmed by Drastic Ruling of
Judge De Croft, of Des Mones.

Whether the mandatory injunction is
sued last week by Judge De Graf, of the
district court in Des Moines. Iowa, put
ting an end to the street-car strike in
that city and ending scenes of widest
disorder and violence. will prove an ef-
fective and permanent method OF ending
strikes in the future is question that
is receiving careful and anxious consider
alton by official and labor circles OF
Washington.
The course OF the case in. the legal
proceedings that are to follow, and which
many believe will be carried to the
highest possible court, are expectantly
awaited.
Judge De Graff's mandate ordered the
street railway union to return its men
to their work, and the railway company
to take them back. including the man
who had been discharged for alleged
pocketing Of fares. pending arbitration.
Labor Men DenOunce 1t.
Apparently labor circles have lined up
solidly against the decision. Members of
the bar can be found on both sides of the
argument, and government officials refuse
to commit themselves at the present time.
Senator Borah, OF Idaho, who is con-
sidered the spokesman of labor in the
upper chamber, Is making careful study
of the case as far as he is able. The
Senator, who first came prominently be.

to either condemn or indorse the decision

phatically with Samuel Gompers on the
question.
