 JUDGE WRIGHT

Washington, June % -President Gompers yesterday issued the follow ing statement:
 Justice wright's decision typifies in an acute manner the contention which labor brings against the prac- tice which mas been usurped by the courts of equity in dealing. not with property rights but with personal re- lations-normal personal activities, a practice entirely at variance with the constitutional government, with gov ernment by law.
 Tn this case the judge has acted as the initiator of criminal contempt, ap- pointed the attorneys of private liti- gants to prepare complaint and prosecute it to conclusion. The judge has heard the evidence. He him. self determined the credibility of wit nesses. He then formulated his decis- ion and executed it by imposing pris- on sentences. Facts and evidence in the case have been suppressed and perverted and the purposes of myself and my colleagues entirely mfsrepres scented.

Boston. June 25.-The directors of the Boston Elevated Railway com pany refused yesterday to treat with the striking car men or to recede in any measure from the position taken by President Bancroft who has de- clined to recognize the new union or to consider its demands for a wage increase.

Estimates of the number of men out vary, the union claiming 1000 and the company 1000. Since the first week of the strike there has been no general violence.

INSTALLING DRAINAGE SYSTEM

INSTALLING DRAINAGE SYSTEM.
The first thing to do in starting to
drain field is to locate the proposed
main tile drains and laterals where
they will do the most good. Where
the land is very flat or level, and
the whole surface must be drained. \
uniform system of parallel laterals
leading directly to the larger main
tile is the most advantageous. In the
case of more rolling lands with wet
draws and ponds or low places where
the water collects from the higher
points, main drain should be run
up the lower part of the field and
sub-mains and laterals run from ii
into the wet spots. This type of land
does not usually require as complete
system of thing to thoroughly
drain it as does flatter land.
After the proposed system of drains
has been laid out, the next thing to
do it to get the levels and estimate
the cuts for the bitches. Here &C.
ourate work must be done, says ].
