The News has been asked to give
the causes that led up to the war
now in progress in the Balkans. and
it is story soon told.

Determinations against them. and
on many occasions of downright
cruelty at the hands Of Turkish Of.

again and again. during the past Is
years or more, for reforms, and
Turkey has made one promise after
another. The powers took hand
in the matter and Turkey promised
again and again. but nothing was
done.
On the other side Of the equation
is the desire and determination Of
the Balkan states to preserve their
integrity, if possible. against the
coyetousness Of Russia and otfler
countries. The Balkan states are
fighting increased Moslem rule, lest
at some future time when Turkey
may be parceled out to the powers.
the Balkan states may be included
in the melon-cutting. Furthermore.
some of them are fighting in the

Water Front "Bee''

Last Saturday the day set apart

one of the most important in the
history of Friday Harbor. Money
had been subscribed for building q

completed. Volunteer workers and
teams were wanted to haul rocks
and dirt and fill against the wall un-
til sufficient material was there to
beautify the place and make park

CataIog Houses and Sweat Shops

In recent issue of the Trade
Press Bulletin John w. Lux, presi-
dent of the National Retail Grocers
association. stated that he has evi-
dence that some of the Chicago mail
order houses are simply outlets for
sweatshop goods.
These goods are made on the low
est level that degraded labor has
ever reached in this country or in
any country for that matter. taking
into comparison the relative costs
of living. Whole families live in
single room in Chicago easements.
sew garments night and day and
their combined wages do not exceed
dollar day.
Mr.. Lux also has evidence that
some of the mail order houses are
distributors for several Of the east
ern penitentiaries selling such goods
as shoes, brooms. binding twine. etc.
Those things have been suspected
for some time and it may be good
thing to collect all the evidence
available along these lines. These
are facts which should also be called
to the attention of labor leaders ev-
erywhere throughout the United
States.
So far as the sU eat shop system is
concerned we have no sympathy for
it at all. The law should place
minimum price for such work. OF
course if the penitentiaries are to
engage in manufacturing, which is
defensible from some viewpoints.
there must be market for such
output. but concerns selling the
same should not be allowed to prac-
tice misrepresentation.

When the New Year came in, the

the mill whistles were sounded, to-

often receiving liberal compensation.
On New Years morning an Oriental

OPIUM IN CHINA
UNDER THE BAN

Consul General S. S. Knabenshue at
.Tientsin, in an elaborate report on
the commerce of northern China, says:
The imports of foreign opium for
1910 were only 1888 pounds of Malwa
and 5000 pounds of Patna. or a total Of
1888 pounds, all of which came in dur
ing the first half of the year, as
against 2O,l66 pounds for 1909. The
native-grown drug has almost disap-
peared from the imports of Tientsin,
the total being only III pounds in 1910,
as compared with 1864 pounds in 1909.
The culture of the opium poppy has
been entirely suppressed in North
China, through the energetic action of
the Chinese authorities. There are
constant attempts to smuggle the drug
into the port, but the customs authori-
ties have established a most rigorous
examination of the clothing and bag
gage of all Chinese arriving from
southern ports, and it is safe to say
that the quantity which is successfully
brought in is comparatively small.
The government regulations regard
ing opium smoking are very rigid and
seem to be carefully enforced. Every
opium smoker must take out a license
and register his name and address
with the officials of the Opium Prohi-
biuon Office-the Chin Yen Chu. He
states the amount of the drug he con-
sumes per day and obtains a license
ticket allowing him to purchase that
amount daily at designated shop. He
cannot purchase at any other shop. A
record of his purchases is kept by
the shopkeeper and a statement there.
