Dakota Central railway, which was
abandoned some months ago, follow

abandoned to facilitate extensive i'm
provements TO the road bed. So far

bruises, but none of a serious nature.
Before the bandits could approach
them another automobile appeared

The predominating colors are purple,
navy and black. Miss Morse told
that dresses will be wide, but con

the realization came that she prob
ably would not see him again, and
she is still somewhat in doubt as to
whether he voluntarily abandoned
her or was waylaid and foully dealt
with for the part of his wages he is
thought to have possessed when she

husband would not return TO her,
Mrs. Sprague did not go to the home
of her parents in Colman, but has
remained in a little cottage on South
Chicago avenue, near the electric

Because his wife and other rela-

send word to him, Harry Sprague
never looked upon the face of his
weeks old baby boy, which was laid

not satisfy his callers.
The Clayton act was taken as a
text for the discussion, and Mr..
Hughes was asked if he agreed with
the declaration in that law that Ia
Dor is not u commodity.
Hughes replied that such a decIar-
alton was merely words; that no
law could altar the fact that labor
ers were persons and might con-
spire to do evil things, whereupOn
they would come under the weight
of the law.
He went on to express his dis
approval of the secondary boycott,
and his belief i'm the injunction,
comparing the injunction to the
jury system-a good institution
which might be abused.
His ideas as to how the Clayton
law should be interpreted seemed
to his callers as those of the lawyer
rather than the sOciOlOgist or the
humanitarian.
Seaman's Law Is Test.
The seaman's law was chosen as one
test of Hughes opinion, because that
law involves the right of a man under
any circumstances TO quit work if the

Hughes laid chief stress on the need
for an American merchant marine and

Low WAGES IN PORTO RICO.

San Juan, Porto Rico-Justica, official
newspaper of Porto Rican trade union
ists gives this insight into island condi-
tons:
During the week of June "a the chief
of the Bureau of Labor made several
trips around the island with view of
making Investigations as to the condi-
tions under which the workers are living
and working. Notwithstanding the un-
precedented price of sugar, in many in
stances men were found working for
practically the same wage that they re-
ceivcd when sugar was selling at about
hall the present price.
I'm the mountainous districts, where
the people are engaged in making hats,
many families are on the verge of star
walton, the workers claiming that they
receive so little for their labor they find
it impossible to buy the bare necessities
of life. Upon investigation, family of
FIVE made on an average of eighteen hats
a week, for which they received $3.5
but after paying $1,15 for the straw, the
eighteen hats only netted the family OF
five Sl.75, 30 cents for a weeks work for
each member of the family"
