SULTAWS SOUL DENIED REST
Arabian Legend Tells How Allah Pun
ished Ruler Who Wished to Pass
Beyond Heaven.

People are fascinated by the thought
Of great depth. Every locality has got
its legend of bottomless ponds or
swamps and small boys gaze at them
and wonder as to the monsters which
may exist therein. Arabia has q So
called bottOmless well. 1t is a round
shaft in the ground, looking like well
but probably a part Of some great ir-
rgatiOn work of remote and disputed
date, perhaps more ancient than any
thing in that ancient land. And of
course there is legend about that
ancient we'll 1t is told in Gilbert X.
Chesterton's book, "The Man Who
Knew Too Much"
1t is said that somebody they call
Sultan Alladin (not he Of the lamp
commanded the giants to build him a
sort Of pagoda, rising higher and high
er above all the stars. He wanted a
tower that would pass heaven, and rise
above it, and go on rising forever and
ever. But Allah cast Alladin down to
earth with a thunderbolt, which sank
into the earth, boring a hole deeper
and deeper, till it made well with
out bottom as the tower was to have
been without a top. And down that
inverted tower of darkness the soul
of the proud sultan is falli- g forever
and ever.

Identifyinu a Bishop.

Bishop Arnold Scott Of the Church
Of England, whose field Of labor Is In
China, is responsible for this instance
Of childish adherence to appearances.
"A friendly Baptist medical mission
ary In Tsinanfu pointed me out to one
Of his small sons when I hailed him
from a window. That's a bishop he
told the child.
"Whereupon the boy stared hard at
me, then turned to his brother and
remarked: "There, Bobbie, he hasn't
got a crack in the back Of his head 7"
Evidently his previous acquain-
tance with the Episcopacy had been
confined to the chessboard."

lQnoranr East Indians.

The post office in India is regarded
with wonder and awe by the more
ignorant natives. In some outlying
districts, in fact, the natives actually
worship letter boxes!
: A story Is told Of man who put
his letter in the box and then shouted
the address to which it was to GO
through the slit. He imagined tha,
a god was sitting inside!
Another took off his shoes, bowed
very low, and went through all kinds
of religious rites both before and after
posting his letter. Before departing
he laid some coins on the ground be-
fore the box as an offering to the
god inside.-London Tit-Bits.

labor disturbances among the bakers
Of New York and the boot and shoe
makers of Philadelphia. 1t was dur
Ing the sailors strike of 1903, the
Massachusetts shipbuilders' strike of
1917, and the Albany printers strike
of 1920 that the terms rat" and
"scab" were first used. From local
unions the organization of labor
progressed until in 1850 the first in
ternational labor union, that Of the
printers, was launched.
The first martyrs to trades union

ago. They were James and George
Lovelace, Thomas Stanfield, James
Hammett, John Stanfeld and James
Byrne. The first three men were
Wesleyan preachers who worked as
farm laborers on week days and
preached the Gospel on Sundays.

STEADY PROGRESSION
OF LABOR MOVEMENT
From Exceedingly Small Beginning
Some Seventy-Six Years Ago Or
ganizaton of Workers Has Spread
to Magnificent Proportions.

While separate labor unions, had
their beginning in America early in
the last century, the first combination
Of societies of workingmen on this side
Of the Atlantic probably dates from 81
years ago, when the general trades
unions Of the city of New York had
an organization meeting.
Organization among American labor
ers began in 1903, when the ship car
penters and caulkers of New York
and Boston organized. The tailors Of
New York formed union the same
year, and 1903 also witnessed the first
industrial strike in America, when the
New York sailors refused to work.
Before that, however, there had been

Unions Progress in Europe.

The progress made in the trades
union movement during the past twen-
ty years is very remarkable. At the
beginning Of the century it may be
said to have been In its infancy, for In
many countries all attempts at COM
bination among workers were pro-
hibited by law. But that opposition
was overcome and year by year, and
especially since the war, the movement
has advanced by leaps and bounds. In
1922 the total membership of the
trades unions of 30 countries amounted
to something over 100000.

Mexican Gold and Silver.

The department Of mines reports the
production Of silver in Mexico in 1922
as 1921 ,832 kilos; this is an increase
over 1921 Of 516289 kilos, or 25 per
cent. The gold output is given as 23,-
276 kilos, an increase over the previ-
Gus year Of 2,0O1 kilos, or 9.4 per cent.

Labor organizations are built upon
the principle of cooperation. To be
successful the individual members
must understand the necessity of CO.
operating one with the other.

Commissioner Oyster Prom-
ises Full Inquiry Into Com
plant Against Cops.

Commissioner James F. Oyster
today ordered q thorough investi-
cation into thirteen sworn charges
against four policemen which
were made yesterday by prohibi-
ton agents assigned to duty in
Washington. The complaints
were transmitted by David II.
Blair, Internal Revenue Commits
sicner, without comment.
To Decide on Procedure.
The first move Of Commissioners
Oyster will DO to confer with
Ringgold Hart, assistant corpora.
ton counsel, and Major Daniel Sui.
Ivan, superintendent OF police, to
discuss the proper procedure. The
question Of suspension Of the men
will come up.
'"The Police Department win leave
no stone unturned In investigatinR
the charges" Commissioners Oyster
said. II these men are guilty Of
the acts charged against them they
will be taken before the Police Trial
Board and tried"
Commissioner Oyster refused to
name the men against whom the
charges were filed and also declined
to make public the nature OF the
complaints.
In the meantime, the special IN
telligence unit Of the Treasury De-
partment continues its Investigation
OF charges made by policemen
against three prohibition agents.
Additional affidavits to support
the thirteen charges are being pre-
pared, 1t was said today. They viii
be forwarded to Commissioner Oys-
ter.
TO Question Accused.
The. four policemen, two Of them
said, to be officers Of the depart
ment, viii be called before Commits
sioner Oyster today or tomorrow
and asked q pointblank question re-
garding the truth Of the charges.
In the meantime, another agency of
the department, probably the detec-
tive bureau, viii be set to work In
Bvestigating the complaints.
The charges were made by Ralph
e. Ruby, George Fowler and Clark
II. Packard, all Of whom are under
suspension. Since the order reliev.
ing them Of duty was issued, the
three have been collecting evidence
against members Of the police vice
squad, with whom they formerly
conducted liquor raids.
Ruby, who was assistant divi<
sional chief Of the local dry division
at the time Of his suspension, was
in charge Of compilation OF the
complaints. The material which
came into the hands Of the agents
during the past few weeks was
submitted to Elmer L. Trey, head OF
the special intelligence unit, for his
information.
CoIlected Affidavits.
The origiraa eountercharges. it
was learned today, were ready to
go to Commissioner Oyster early
last week. but action was withheld
because Of the cropping-up of
his companions worked day and
night during the past week col
lecting affidavits and otherwise
Strengthening their case against the
policemen.
The countercharges practically
parallel the accusations made by
Lieut.. o. T. Davis and Sergt. James
e. McQuade, Of the vice squad,
against the dry agents. The latest
revelations regarding official collu-
sion with the liquor traffic in
Washington, however, go further,
it Is said, and show a wide variety
Of graft practices.
Trey stated today he had no state
ment to make as to Developments in
the investigation.
