ROBINSON CRUsoE LOSES

Robinson Crusoe may have been monarch tf all he surveyed in days of old but he didn't play the part Tn the court of appeals today. Robin son must serve hard labor sentence for the theft of cotton seed in Dallas county. The court of appeals af : firmed the judgment of the Dallas circuit court insofar as it applied tC his conviction. However, an error occurred in the sentence and the court ordered the case returned for the imposition of a hard labor sen tence which will be sufficient to pay the costs df Robinson Crusee's trial.
 Robinson contended that other wit nesses should not have been permit ted to give expert opinions regarding farming conditions. especially regard ing the amount of cotton grown on Robinson's land. The court Of ap- meals held that such testimony is ad- missible when the witnesses have been qualified as experts.

COMMERCE BOARD
Reverses u. S. Supreme
Court

Washington-Th interstate COM
merce commission has destroyed the
delusion that there is no appeal from
the United States supreme court-at
least, for railroads.
The supreme court ordered that the
Southern Pacific railroad and the Cen
trail Pacific railroad be separated, and
now the interstate commerce commits
sion rules that the Cummins-Es
act favors consolidation and the COM
bination is legal The supreme court
based its decision on the antitrust
law
The Southern Pacific has for years
controlled the Central Pacific. When
the supreme court ordered the disso-
luton, the railroad took the case to
the Interstate commerce commission.
In setting aside the courts decision
the commission held that its action IS
subject to review by the court.
The commissions act is most un-
usual, but it is improbable that the
supreme court will cite the members
of the commission or officers of the
Southern Pacific for contempt.
The railroad company has not only
ignored the courts order but has
actively engaged in creating a public
opinion against it.

LEGAL LIGHTS
Worried Because of So
Many InjunctiOns

New York-Judges are warned of
the indiscriminate use of the injunc-
tion writ by a committee of the
American bar association that has
formulated a code of conduct and eth
les for judges.
The code makes no direct reference
to labor injunctions, but strong
ground is taken against the practice
of judges issuing injunctions on ex
parte application.
Judges are told that they should
discourage these ex parte proceed
ings, and that it is unethical to issue
injunctions or order receiverships
without the knowledge of defendants,
except "where the necessity for quick
action is clearly shown"
eff this be demonstrated" says the
committee, "then the judge should
endeavor to counteract the effect OF
the absence of opposing counsel by
a scrupulous ross-examination and
investigation as to the facts and the
principle of law upon which the ap.
plication is based, granting relie1
only when satisfied that the law per.
mits it and the emergency demands it
"The judge should remember that
an injunction is a limitation upon the
freedom of action of defendants ant
should not be granted lightly or in
advisedly.
Zone applying for such relief must
sustain the burden of showing clearly
its necessity and this burden is in
creased in the absence of the party
whose freedom of action is to be re
strained, even though only tempor
arily."
The code includes not only rules fol
the guidance of the judge while on the
bench, but numerous suggestions are
made as to his private conduct
which, it is declared, should be be
yond reproach."

STRIKE CAUSES
IGNORED
BY Rail Board Chairman Tn
Speech DenOuncing
Workers

Nashville, Tenn. - Chairman Ben
Hooper, of the railroad labor board.
was cheered at a meeting of the
Tennessee Manufacturers Associa-
tion when he denounced striking
workers.
The speaker acknowledged that
our industrial system has reached
the point where tremendous fortunes
are piled by the side of abject pow
erty." Startled by his own "pro-
gressivism," the chairman continued:
"These things are explained by
some as the natural results of eco
nomic laws, but laboring men do not
accept this reasoning. They believe
perversion of laws to be responsible.
Nobody in this country is so ignor-
ant as not to know that legislation can
be enacted that will give one class
advantage over the other"
With these utterances to serve as
his alibi for fairness" he condemn
ed radical labor leaders" who mag
Nifty grievances-and who possibly in
sist on calling attention to the 'tre-
mendous fortunes that are piled up
by the side of abject poverty"
The manufacturers entered into the
spirit of Chairman Hooper's speech,
and before adjournment passed this
declaration:
Condemnation of the progressive
group in congress; opposition to eff
forts to curb the use of the labor in
junction; opposition to any change in
the Cummins-Esch act except to en-
power the railroad labor board to en-
force its decisions on the workers;
enactment of reasonable" subsidy
bill.

BIG STRIKE
Of Garment Workers Caus-
ed BY PiecewOrk System

New York.-Nearly 10000 garment
workers, affiliated to the Information
al Garment Workers Union are on
strike to abolish the piece-work sys-
tenn. This is the sixth blow these
workers have struck against debased
working conditions.
The employers are organized and
their policy is similar to their re-
sistance to any change in the sweat
shop system and other evils these
unionists swept aside. A majority of
the present strikers are women and
girls.
In a statement issued by the unions
it is declared that the piece-work sys-
tenn is an evil to the workers and a
handicap to fair-minded employers.
"Under the practical operation OF
this system there is no fixed or uni
form unit of compensation" it is stat
ed. every new model means new
kind of work, and every season brings
forth new models literally by the hun
dreds.
"The system of piece work is an in
centive to the employees to work with
an intensity detrimental to their
health, particularly in view of the
fact that the industry is highly sea-
sonal, that the periods of plentiful
work are rare, and that the workers
in such seasons are tempted to make
up for the lean periods of the year
by over-exertion. Occupational di-
seases, and particularly tuberculosis,
so frequent among the workers in the
needle trades, are directly traceable
to this peculiar system of piece work !"

HOW STOCK PRICES GAIN

New York. Standard oil stock val
ued at $500 when the supreme court
dissolved that trust in 1911, is now
quoted around $4,000. Many of these
stocks are not quoted on any ex-
change, but are sold privately or over
the counter. 1t is therefore difficult
to state the exact market value of the
entire list of 33 companies affiliated
to Standard OIL

WILL NOT STAND MINGLING
Some Danger in Combination of Potash
Tablets and Potassium
Chlorate.

At merry party in England, one of
the guests suddenly found himself
emitting shower of sparks. The
place Of origin was his coat pocket.
Everybody laughed, and thought it
was well-contrived joke. But it was
not. That was proved by a burned
Jacket, chair, carpet, and hand. In
vestigation showed that the guest had
in his pocket a packet of potash tab
lets. Also he had there a box of
safety matches.
Now a safety match is coated with
potassium chlorate, and it strikes when
it is rubbed against phosphorus paint
ed on the box surface. But potash tab
lets are made of potassium chlorate,
and so they, too, are likely to strike on
a safety matchbox. This is what they
had done. Some Of them had escaped
from their packet and were loose in
the jacket pocket, ready to make a
fireworks display If they rubbed against
the matchbox. IF you carry a safety
matchbox be careful what else you
carry in the same pocket. Mind 1t is
not potash tablets for a sore throat
or you may "gO off, unawares in pri
vate fireworks display.

Delivery Mans Bright Scheme for Get

for the Big Four railroad, one time
owned hOun' dog that he wished to
get rid of. AS a certain means of ac-
complishing his object, he locked the
dog in freight car bound for Spring
field, Ohio, heaved a sigh Of relief and
went about his work, glad with the
thought that he finally had got rid of
that dog.
Two weeks later, Rugenstein was
opening a car containing consign-
ment Of goods from Springfield. He
heard something scratching on the
door.
AS he opened it, out bounded three
emaciated, raw-boned cur dogs. On
the door of the car was written In
