assisting IL in its fight with the Brotherhood
nv transporting its freight. That might pos
sibly be some justification if it were optional
with these roads whether they should trans
port this freight or not. But such is not the
case Every one Of them is obliged by law
to transport this freight, ard for refusing to
do so they expose themselves to severe pun-
ishment. The law is clear on this point, and
within week two United States judges
have expressly declared that the connecting
roads mast take this freight The alleged
justification becomes. therefore, no iustiGca-
tion at ALL On the contrary, were the engin-
GERS TO ayow that that was the reason for
their action, every man of them would be
liable to arrest and punishment as conspir-
ator against law of Congress This has
been made SO apparent TO them by Judge
Gresham's decision that they are now con-
cealing the real reason for their action, and
basing it on various grounds, some of them
utterly absurd. The Atchson Topeka &
Sante Fe engineers say they left their engines
in body because they were tired " The
real reason is because that road was transport
ing Chicago, Burlington d Quincy cars. The
strike on the Union Pacific is for the same
cause. All these strikes are what are known
as Sympathetic" strikes begun, not ON ac-
count of any grievance directly affecting the
men engaged in them, but to aid the cause Of
the strikers on the Chicago, Burlington u
Quincy. Probably by disavowing their real
purpose the strikers may succeed in keeping
themselves out of the clutches Of the Law,
but none the less is their action contrary to
good morals and likely to bring down upon
their organization such an avalanche of ad-
verse public opinion as win imperil the ex-
istence of the Brotherhood. The American
people are not likely to permit the whole
railroad system Of the country to remain
long at the mercy of an organization which
is guilty of such an abuse of power as the
Locomotive Brotherhood now threatens.
The recklessness of the Brotherhood is to be
regretted, and it is to be hoped that wiser
counsels will yet prevail, for it is an organi-
cation which has been of much benefit to the
men who have Been connected with it. and
whose general conduct and purposes have
been praiseworthy.

unIustIfIabIe Conduct.

Labor organizations appear to be very
much alike. The Brotherhood of Locomotive
Engineers is composed of men OF high intel
ligence, whose conduct has generally been
conservative, but here 1t is plunging as reck-
lessly into the strike and boycott as did the
Knights of Labor in their palmiest days
The original strike on the Chicago, Quincy
& Burlington, had, it seems to us, justifiable
ground. The classification of engineers
which that road sought to make, was appar-
emily unfair and unjust to the employees.
We should have been glad TO see the engin-
GERS win in that contest, and very likely they
would have done so had it not been for the
interference of the Brotherhood in the Read
ing strike. But its members having largely
supplied the places of the striking engineers
on that road, II was only human nature that
the latter should supply their places on the
Chicago, Burlington 81 Quincy. 1t was the
Brotherhood's own act that made it easy for
the latter road to supply the places of the
strikers. The Brotherhood should have ac-
cepted the result, therefore, and credited it
to its own blunder.
Instead of that, it has attempted to snatch
victory from impending defeat by threaten
ing a general paralysis of all the western
railroads unless the Chicago, Burlington g.
ouiney succumbs. Its justification is that
the roads connecting with this railroad are

A very interesting investigation was made
in Lewiston and Auburn week ago yester-
day by reporter of the Journal. Every
person who went to church was counted, his
nationality noted, and the aggregates Of at
tendance compared with the aggregates of
population in the city. 1t cannot be said that
the results of this investigation are wholly
pleasing, inasmuch as they show that, while
seventy per cent. Of the French Canadian
population of the two cities, and sixty per
cent. of the Irish American attend church,
the percentage of Protestants attending is
only about twenty-five. And about two
thirds of those who go, whether Protestants
or Catholics, are women. The total popula-
ton of Lewiston and Auburn is about $4,000;
of which $4,000 are in Lewiston and 1900 in
Auburn. In Auburn there are only about a
thousand Catholics, while in Lewiston there
are about II, 900, or half the entire population.
Lewiston has eleven Protestant churches.
including the Salvation army, and Auburn
six. The Catholics have but two churches
for the two cities, ST. Peters for the French
Catholics and ST. Joseph for the Irish Catho-
lies; but third church on Bates street for
Irish Catholics is nearly completed. If the
Protestants of the two cities attended church
to the extent that the Catholics do, the six
teen Protestant churches of Lewiston and
Auburn would average double their present
congregations. This census, which was taken
on a Sunday when the attendance was an
average one, does not, it must be confessed,
make showing pleasant to those Protestants
who retain the good old-fashioned New Eng
land ideas about the part that should be
taken by the churches in moulding our soci-
ETY.. Lewiston, with its large foreign popu-
lotion, may be hardly a sample community;
yet the Protestants there might on this ac-
count he expected to maintain their own

The artificial propagation of fish like sal
mon and shad is matter upon which the State
of Maine has expended considerable care and
money, and the result of which is watched
with lively interestby hundreds of sportsmen
who live in Maine or who resort to the State
for their sport. An experiment which is likely
to be made OF the salmon hatchery on the
Penobscot, will therefore be watched with
an interest quite apart from the question Of
science involved. Col Albert e. Neill of
Calais, has for some time opposed vigorously
the plan of Matching salmon adopted by the
United States Fish commission. which has
been to pat the young salmon into the stream
from six to ten weeks after Matching. Col.
Neill has held that this is a wasteful process,
because the fry, too small at that tender age
to take care of themselves satisfactorily,
must perish in large numbers. He has urged
that the salmon should not be turned out I'M
til a year old and he offered at his own ex-
pense to try with fifty thousand or more
young fish, the experiment of keeping them
in the Matching house until year old and
strong and able to fight their own battles. AT
first the commission discouraged him, but
recently there has been change of opinion
and there is now an excellent prospect that
very thorough experiments in the rearing of
fish will be undertaken at the Penobscot sta
ton by the United States government

in it on the northeast Of Newfoundland, and

GOOD OLD MAINE.
Bangor COMMERCIAL

Maino has done considerable growing since
that March day in 1920 when she took her
place as one of the Independent States of the
Union. She then had population of 29S, 269.
When the last census was taken it had in
creased to 1885, and when the next one is
figured it will undoubtedly be much nearer
100000. And the gain is not all in population.
Maine grows handsomer as she grows. The
State never had so many elegant houses, SO
many cultivated fields, SO many comforts and
luxuries for the people as now. Neither did
she ever occupy more advanced place in
the councils and affections of the whole SIS
terhOod of the States.

OCTOBER CROP RETURNS.
The Condition of Corn, Tobacco,
Wheat and Cotton.

The October crop returns, as reported by
the statistician OF the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, show that the cond1-
ton of the present corn crop has been
eQualled only three times in ten years, and
is exceeded materially only by that of 1879,
when the condition % and the subsequent
ascertained yield Is bushels by the census OF
1880.
Tobacco has fully maintained the condi-
ton of last month, averaging for all kinds
SS3.
The returns relative to wheat are those of
yield per acre by counties. AS consolidated,
the general average for winter wheat IS II
bushels per acre, and for spring wheat slight.
ly over 10 bushels The former has yielded
better than the early expectation, the latter
much worse This is, of course. in measured
bushels. The quality is much below the
average, which will still further reduce the
supply as will be shown more exactly here
after from testimony of inspection and
millers weights.
The October returns of the Department
make a decline in the condition of cotton
The crop is everywhere late, and slight frostS
threaten early destruction of the plants; yet
killing frOsts still in the future and the
length of the season, therefore, uncertain
The average of reported condition is 1873,
decline from So. in September.
