Which Will, Later, Be Turned Over
To Stockholders.

New York, Feb. preparations are
said to be making whereby the Stan

stock. The company is one OF the for
mer 80 subsidiaries OF the Standard

In { England Over Imprison-
ment Of Bertrand Stewart
For Three and a Half Years
In German Fortress.
Incident May Prove Last Straw In
Anglo.German Relations.

London, Feb. 6.-There is rising
tide of anger throughout England over
the sentence to three and a half years
confinement in fortress passed by
the German imperial court at Leipsic
upon Bertrand Stewart. a prominent
London lawyer, on charge of espion-
age. The feeling aroused promises to
give the affair an Importance second
only to that of the Dreyfus case in
France. The grave difference is that
international racial passions are now
aroused and there is a possibility that
the incident will prove to be the last
straw in the long accommodating bur
den of Anglo German hostility.
The fact cannot be overlooked that
newspapers repre- senting both of the
great political parties are clamoring
for the government to act in Stewart s
behalf. The matter will be brought up
in the House of Commons in a very
energetic manner AS soon as Parlia-
ment meets, unless something should
be done by the government in the
meantime.
British feeling has been inhameed
about the affair because the
trial took place mostly in secret. The
only witness against Stewart was a
Belgian. who is reputed To be a pro-
fessional spy and is known to have
served terms in prison. The theory
here is that the Belgian entrapped

paid for turning informer.

that the doctrine of trades unlonism,
as differing from industrial unionism
leads to the pernicious use of brutal

struction of human life by bombs and
dynamite as proven only recently by
passing events
This, the 18th day of the strike,
marked the active entrance into the
strikers activities of the American
Federation of Labor, as represented
by the local Central Labor Union. \

from each of the mills affected was
