torests with respect to the law. Mr.
Danaher said that tho manufactur-
prs are chiefly interested in bringing
about u change in Section 5888.
which would in effect scrap all the
supreme court decisions on the act
in the past 18 yours. This he said
would virtually take the heart out
of the law. Mr. Danshor stated
that the trouble with tho law is with
its administration and that undoubt—
odly some revisions are advisable.
But he was of the opinion that the
extent of the revisions could be do-
toy-mined only by joint meetings
and an ultimate compromise be-
tween employers and representatives
of unloas.
Mr. Danah‘ii said that several in-
formal meetings had already been
held of repr'sontatives of employee.
but that no joint ngrcem t has yet
been made. its udmittc that the
administration of the law at present
places undue burdens on a number
of manufacturers and also makes ‘it

to eliminate thiscondltion.

Crude Rubber Industry }
Previous to the beginning of the
twentieth century all of the crude
rubber used commercially came
from South American forests. chief.
ly front the valley of the Amazon.
and at a later date Central African
slates contributed their quote. to lib:
output of wild rubber, says the.
Dominion Bureau of Statistics.
’l‘o Sir Henry Wicklinm is due the
establishment of the rubber plan-
iutiou industry in the British 113m-
plre. In 1870, from seeds collect-
ed in Brazil and taken for‘ ger-
minatidn to New Gardens. London.
were produced the first rubber
plants, whose destination was Cey-
lon. This first consignment of plants
died on the voyage, and it was not
till 1877 thntwscven healthy speci-
mens of the genus Iievea Iii-aslliensls
reached Kuala Kangsnr in the Malay
State of I’ernk,'whero experimental
work was immediately r'arted. There
are now planted approximately 2,-
280,000 acres of this genus. with
probably 325,000.00 trees in the
Malay Peninsula. while there still
remains a wide area available for
rubber planting in Malaya.
The tapping of trees starts after
the fourth year. when they have at-
tained a girth of from 15 to 20
inches. at :1 height of three feet
from the ground. During the whole
period of growth the ground be-
tween the, trees is kept constantly
free of words. while pruning and
manuring operations also engage the
attention of the planter. Various
methods of tapping are in vogue on
different estates, and the form or
shape of the incision is :1 subject
