is not a commodity there is no doubt
that labor thinks It has been exempted
from the Sherman law. That Is what
Mr. Gompers Is preaching. when he is
not advising resistance to all law. But,
The Republic explains that in so far
as this belief Is based on more than a
blind faith in what the Federation
leaders have told them it seems 10
rest on the argument that the Sher-
man law makes It illegal to restrain
trade in ARTICLES Of commerce" and
that by declaring labor to be not an
article of commerce. you take It out OF
the Sherman law. But you do nothing
of the kind. When the Danbury Hat
tiers were compelled to pay triple dam
ages for violating the Sherman law,
1t was not because the Supreme Court
thought labor was a commodity. It
was because hats are a commodity.
The boycott of the Danbury Hatters
restrained trade in hats, not in labor
When Debs was sent to Jail for violat-
ing an injunction against interfering
with interstate railroads by calling a
strike, 1t was not because the labor
of the men whom he called out was an
article of commerce but because the
things the railroad was carrying, and
the railroad cars themselves were ar
ticles of commerce. Had the Clayton
act been then In force 1t would not
have changed either decision.
The question Is will Congress rec
ognize these incontesible deductions
In its consideration Of the railroad leg

self simply as representing one class

WHERE LABOR WAS MISLED

The New Republic gives expression
to a conviction that was forced on
many members OF Congress at the
time the Clayton act was under dis
cussion. 1t was this act that paved
the way for the impertinence that was
exhibited in the recent railroad con-
troyersy. But like the euphemlstic
"eight-hour" law it contains the same
disappointments that labor was warn
ed of. A Democratic administration
was in power directed by one OF the
most accomplished politicians of his
time. He fooled. the advocates Of the
eight hour wage increase law. and &C
cording to The New Republic the
CLAYTON act is no better than other
poldbricks handed out by political op-
portunism.
The deception Of labor Is quite
pointed If the provisions Of the Clay
Ton act are nationally considered. BY
the statement Of this act that labor

GREAT ARhD CHEF
 MEETS DEATH IN FALL
Associated Press)

CAIRO, Egypt, May 12.-Muhanad Pasha Daghistani, the greatest Arab chief who has been associated with the Turks in the present campaign in Masopotamia, is dead His death is said to have been the result of a fall from his horse, which was frightened by shell during the British bom- bardment of the Sim position on the right bank of the Tigris on March S.
 Daghistani was the generalissimo of the Arab forces, regular and irreg- ular. Seventy years of age, he was a courteous gentleman of the old school of Conservatism, and an oppo- nent of the Young Turk party. He had great influence among both Arabs and Turks, and was highly respected by English officers who came in contact with him.

DUTCH HAVE TAKEN HOLLAND"
 LEVEEs REPAIRED, LAND DRAINED

Ihold 45,000,0O0 cubic meters of water will have to be each separately drain ed, and for this purpose a dozen pump ing stations have been established
 The removal of the water by no means repairs the floods effects. There are upwards of 2,500 home steads and other buildings that will have to be rebuilt and repaired and there is the more serious fact that the whole of this agricultural land will have been saturated with salt by the sea water. Opinions differ as to the length of time it will take to get rid of the salt; but much ground will yield no crop this year, and it is cer- tain that the salt will not have been washed away in' it's entirety for long time to come.
 It is likely that the costly expert ence will stimulate the Dutchman's ardor to tackle, when the war is over, the great scheme of building barrier right across the entrance of the Zuy- der Zee itself, and so creating a new twelfth province for Queen Wilhel- mina's realm.
