ORIENTAL SAILORS CASE
BEFORE SUPREME COURT
Pacific New* Service. Wa*h. Bureau
WASHINGTON, D. C.—An indus- j
trial case of particularly keen inter- (
est to Pacific Coast shipping interests
and sailors shortly will cooine before
the Supreme Court of the United J
States. In general the case involves
the contract labor law and specifically
the right of American ship owners to
sign Oriental crews on vessels in Far
Eastern porta and then,after the ships
have reached an American port, a-s
sigu the foreign crews to other ves
sels.
The case comes up from the federal
district court of California on a writ
of certioreri Just Issued by the highest
court. That the case will be review
ed is largely due to the efforts of
l'aul Sseharrenberg, secretary of the
California State Federation of Labor
who was the moving spirit of the pro
se cution in the lower court.
It appears that the Pacific Mail
Steamship Company brought l
Chinese to America to man their
Steamer Venezuela. Mr. Scharren
bi-ig alleged the importation of the
Orientals to bo in violation of the
contract labor law and appealed to
Commissioner General Camlnetti of
the immigration service. While the
cuommissioner was investigating the
charges the cuse got into the Califor
rla court and a decision was rendered
in favor of the defendant, mainly on
the precedent of a similar ca3e of a
few years ago in which the Dollar j
Steamship Company was held not to
h ve x i lated the contract labor law
ii signing Oriental crews In much the
same manner.
put I In. Coast labor organizations
four, it is understood, that unless the
decision of the federal district court
of California is reversed, it wil be but
a short time until Japanese and
Chinese crews will replace American
sailors on practically all ships en
gaged in the Pacific trade because of
the considerable difference In tin
wages for which they will work.

OPPORTUNITY IN SIRERIA FOR
U. S. AGRICULTURAL IMPLEMENTS
Pacrfio News Service, Wash. Bureau.
WASHINGTON, D. C.-An excellent
opportunity for the development of
ti tremendous market for American
agricultural implements is afforded
by the remarkable rise of agriculture
in Siberia, according to reports to the
Department of Commerce. American
exporters could work up a profitable
trade by the expenditure of u little
energy the Department says.
Since 1900 approximately "5.000 !
square miles of land has been taken
up by two million settlers and farming
has been given a new stimulus. This
tctrltory is reported to be rich and
capable, under scientific cultivation, of
feeding the whole of the Russian Um
pire
Most of the agricultural implements
uow iiuinufactured in Russia are made
by firms established by British and
Gi rman capital. One large American
company has -a plant near Moscow for
tic. manufacture of the simpler ma
chinery- Nearly all of the more com
pl eated machinery for the farm which
is coming into increasing popularity
is imported. The present is declared
to be a particularly good time to de
velop a business of tins sort because
the Russian factories are engaged in
making war munitions. The market
foi plows, drills, seeders, harrows,
cultivators, thrashing machinery and
stnnll tractors is especially good.
There also is an excellent oppor'un
Ity for the establishment of a strong
trade in dairying supplies, the Depart
ment states.
FARMERS ARE SEEKING
GOVERNMERT ADVICE
WA8HIQTOON. D. C.—Fanners in i
amazingly increasing numbers are |
turning to the United StateB depart'
mint of agriculture for information
as to how they can improve their
farms, Increase their products, and
meet the many vexing technical ques
lions that come up in regard to soil
adaptability and the breeding of
vtock.
During the past fiscal year, say
officials of the division of publications.
there were 1,03H new bulletins Issued
by the department, the number of
pl'nted copies aggregating 29,571,739.
In addition to these new bulletins
there were 9,526,500 copies of earlier
publications reprinted and distributed
throughout the country.
In addition to the thousands that
are on the department’s list to re
ceive free copies of the bulletins, pam
phlets, etc., many thousands of copies
ar< sold annually. Figures have been
cc-mplled which show that in 1910
tl ere were 117,327 bulletins sold at
$18.398.1S while during the year Just I
closing 327,381 copies have been sold
at $22,277.84, showing the increased
interest that is being manifested,
mostly by farmers, in the work that
is being done by the department.

Pacific New* Service, Wash Bureau.
WASHINGTON, D. ('.—One million
workable pines stand in forests owned
by the government of Argentine in
the Territory of Misiones, according
to consular reports. Most of th
trees have a diameter of about five
feet and are 130 feet in height. The
lumber from each tree would !>•

the expense of extraction and trans
portation iH about $70 per tree, leav
