FAILS TO ENFORCE LABOR LAW
Petition Says Mayor Was Openly
and Shamclessly Hostile" in His
Attitude Toward Scmimontlly and
and Child-Labor Laws.

Fulfilling his threat to bring re-
movai proceedings under the custer
law against magistrates who fail. in
the face of conclusive evidence of guilt,
to impose the fines required by law,
Commissioner James B. Doherty, of the
State Department of Labor, has ad-
dressed petition TO Judge B. -. White.
OF the Circuit Court OF Isle of Wight
county, asking for the removal of L. G..
Brock as Mayor of Smithiicld.
The papers setting forth the charges
against Mayor Brock have been placed
In the hands OF the Commonwealth's
attorney Of Isle of Wight. and a copy
has been served upon Mayor Brock.
Judge White will fix the date for the
trial.
Commissioner Doherty accuses Mayor
Brock of maintaining an Openly and
shamelessly hostile" attitude and bear
ing to the enforcement of the laws Of
the Commonwealth, as evidenced by his
conduct when Inspector ClinedinSt, OF
the Labor Department. brought charges
in his court against the Smithfield
Light and Power Company. and tho
Underwood manufacturing Company.
Notwithstanding the fact that the

KINGSTON, Jamaica, May IL.
Once more | am on the island
of Jamaica, with my coat and
vest off, resting under the shade
of palm tree.
Every time l come to this is
land, / am struck with the con-
trast between it and the cities of
our own great country.
Although only five days from
New York, Jamaica is in the
tropics, and everything in sight
is distinctly tropical.
The surface of the island is
mountainous, the eastern part
being more elevated than the 9TH
er portions.
The mountains reach 1000 to
5000 feet, with the highest peak,
Blue mountain, 7,423 feet.
This diversity of surface causes
an endless variety of vegetation;
mainly tropical, of course, but
semi-tropical on the highlands.
One reason for the density of
the growth, in places so thick
that the traveller in the forest
must cut his way with an ak, is
the great number of streams and
springs on the island.
There are said to be 1000
rivers, springs and rivulets, some
of them, notably Cane river and

are raised.
1t is a common sight to see a
file of negro women, each with a
great bunch of bananas or bas-
ket of fruit poised securely en- her
head.
The negroes are everywhere.
They number nearly 100000 in
population of less than 100000,
the inhabitants called white" be-
ing only about $4,000.
The Spaniards killed off the
Indians and replaced them with
slaves from Africa. These colored
people are ranked differently here
from what they are in the United
States.
In Jamaica. the colored man is
considered to belong either to
the negro or the white race, ac-
cording to the DEGREE OF PRO
FICIENCY he attains in educa-
ton, culture, wealth, or influ-
ence. Some are ranked and work

Roaring river, having beautiful
waterfalls. Indeed, the name oil
the island is supposed to come
from an Indian word, "Xamayca,
meaning abundance of water.
The island is only one-tenth the
size of Cuba, having 4,207 square
miles, little smaller than Con
necticut, or twice the size of Della
ware.
There are, of course, palms
and palms and palms, the
giant cotton tree, tallest of
all the island vegetation, To-

with negroes in the fields; others
are lawyers, doctors or business
men.
The lower classes are better
workers and more ambitious than
those in some other parts of the
West indies.
Many have gone to Panama or
the banana plantations of Costa
RIGA, where they are making
good, and even sending home
money to their families.
Usually, the negro lives from
day to day. A living comes easily
here. Often they have no rent to
pay for their little palm-thatched
huts, they need few clothes, fuel
is necessary only for cooking, and
much food is to be had for the
picking.
