might be drawn that they have their

whether employers of labor shall be
allowed the liberty of selecting the
men whom they seek to take into their
employment, or whether that selection
shall be made for them by an outside
organization, and imposed upon them
whether they would or not. 1t is a
question which, far more than either
hours or remuneration, goes to the
very bottom of the relations between
capital and labor. 1t affects the free
dom of contract. fla workman and
an employer of labor enter on a con-
tract-the one to render, and the
other to pay for service, isthis freedom
of contract to be allowed to exist, or
shall it be interfered with by a body
of outsiders who put forward the claim
to have a monopoly of contracting in
cases affecting labor?
The issue is mOmentOus one and
if this threatened lockout of textile
workers becomes an accomplished fact
soluteon of the problem may poss-
IDLY be arrived at through much mis-
cry and loss.

A Threatened Lockout Of EnOr'
nous Proportions.

Our telegraphic dispatches a few
dlys ago announced to be the happy
wind-up of strike at Frankford, Pa,
in which a firm of textile manufacture.
els. named Troth & Co., had been i'm
plicated with their employees. The
difference had apparently til been am
icabIy settled, and last week the men
were to return to their places.
A hitch occurred however, at the
last moment. The firm determined to
continue in their employment a mum
her of nonunion men who had filled
the places oethe strikers, and to this
action on their part the strikers ObJec:
ted. The employers stood hrm; they
would not discharge men who entered
their service at period of pressure
merely TO oblige set OF other men
who had inflicted that pressure upon
them. the strikers, therefore, in spite Of
the facl that the original difficulty had
been cleared away, declined to resume
0ark until the last non-union man In
the works had received his walking
papers; The strike. therefore set IN
aft, sh and went on as melrily as ever
1t would probably have been only a
question of time when either the men
or the firm would have succumbed, or
agreed to a compromise by which the
the trouble might be healed. But a
rev element has been Introduced into
the warfare.which threatens to vastly
widen It's area, and even to stop every
wheel in the textile industries in and
around Philadelphia. The Manufac-
ilrers' Association of Philadelphia
took the matter up, and has announ-
ced that it will aesort to the extreme
measure of orderinga general lockout
in all the mills in the city unless the
strikers in Troth q Co.'S works yield
before November 2. Here is the de-
ci.ion of the committee:
sThe arbitration arranged for between
the committee representing the strikers at
Troih's mills, Frankford, aud the Aid Com-
mittee of the Philadelphia Manufacturers
Associations having been nullifhed by the
refusal of the strikers to accept the agree
ment entered into providing for the start
ing of said mills, therefore be 1t
"Resolced, That a lockout of all en-
ployes in the mills of the members OF the
Philadelphia Manufacturers Associa ION
be ordered, to take effect as OF November
5, Unless the troubles ar the Troth mill De
satisfactorily settled prior to that date"
This notice was posted up in every
mill included in the Manufacturers
Association on Friday, and embraces
not alone those engaged in similar III
dustries to Troth d Co., but refers to
every branch of textile industry rep
resented by the Association. If it goes
into effect, of which at present there
is unfortunately too ssrong a prospect
between $4,000 and 80, 900 hands will
be thrown idle into the reefs.
1t is we'll to keep clearly in view the
question at the bottom of this strike.
! 1t is a question which is cropping up
all over the United States, and which
will have to be decided for good one
of these days, 1t is the question

HINTS ON FLOWING.
subsoiiinE n valuable Addition to th
rrepnration Of the Soil.

subsoiilng valuable Addition TO the
Preparation Of the Soil.
Il is not many years since the theory
of trcnch-plowing was generally advo-
Gated by theorists. and not until the
practical demonstration showed the
fallacy of the idea as a rcnovator OF
the soil was it generally discarded. A
very little consideration would have
shown, except in special soils for GER
tain special crops, whose roots ramifv
deep, that trench.plowing is fallacy.
We have come TO know that five
inches, measured against the land side,
is deep plowing for average crops, and
that eight inches would be considered
deep plowing for any crop ordinarily
cultivated on the farm.
But while trench-plowing-turning a
sub-furrow completely on the top OF
the first furrOw-is not good practice
as rule. there Is no objection 10 sub
soiling following in the furrow with
a subsoil plow which simply lifts, say,
six inches of the subsoil and drops il
back into the furrow, thus pulverizing
the whole mass. This is valuable
addition to the preparation Of the soil
for many crops But TO get the best
results in this way, thc4 soil. il not nat
urally well drained, should first be
lile-drained. The reason is that stiff
clays are liable 10 be water-soa aked at
particular seasons When this occurs,
the water not being able to escape
quickly below, the soil 10 the whole
depth becomes like n mortar-bcd. and
upon drying becomes hard. But II I'M
dcrdrained the water percolates easily
to the tile and the soil remains dry and
friable because porous.
Mr. John Lemmax, OF Ohio, states
his experience In respect 10 deep plow-
ing, and also upon another point not
generally known in respect to plowing
hillsidcs. He says:
1T does not pay 20 plow toe deep
for all grain crops, as they do not all
require the same depth 10 root | have
noticed ever since had any thing
to DO with ploving that land for wheat
or oats, whore the furrow was turned
uphill, always produced better crop
OF grain than that portion OF the land
that was turned down-hill, rs il was
plowed deeper. Turning up the cold
clay Was not congenlal TO the growth
Of the small grain. For coin or pOta-
toes IL is different. as they require
deeper culture, and the old.fashiOned
way OF marking for corn. with single
shovel, placed The corn down so that
the roots came in contact with top Of
soil turned under. and deep plowing
In dry weather would furnish more
moisture for crop; the same with pota-
toes. ~ Ckicdg0 Tribune
