Defense of Strike Injunctions.

Defence of Strike Injunctions.
From the Nation.
The important thing. it seems to US, is
that everybody in the United States should
understand that the violence and disturb
ance of former strikes have led not to the
introduction. but to the wide application,
by the courts of remedy which paralyZes
the arm on which strike agitators used to
rely, because it brings within the reach of
every property owner in the United States
who sees his workmen banded together to
stop his work. and who can satisfy judge
that he Is really in danger. a local preven-
tive constabulary, which forbids whatever
acts or deeds the judge deems dangerous,
under penalties for disobedience which 10
man or body CT men can safely face.
Such is the law. and, in our opinion, the
remedy will continue to be applied until
the fears of the property owning class
cease TO be acute. That can only be when
the courts persuaded that the dangers
apprehended do not exist, and when that
time comes there will be no more appli-
cations for strike injunctions. Meanwhile
to our minds, what is needed is not TRADES
against them, but thorough comprehen-
sion of what the law is.

Wide Tires a Benefit to Roads.

Elaborate tests of the draft of wide

cultural college experiment station, CO.

been m9de on macadam, gravel and

public expectation, in nearly all cases
draft was materially lighter when tires

tires of standard width. The load
hauled was in all cases the same, and
the draft was most carefully deter
mined by means of self-recording

Care In Fertnining orehard.

1t Is bard to get the soil too rich, or
too full of vegetable matter for the
best production of vegetables. With
fruits the case is different. To secure
the best results on thin land orchards
must be fertilized, but 1t must be done
with care and judgment. Excessive
applications of stable manure, or 9TH
er nitrogenous fertilizer should always
be avoided, especially after trees reach
bearing age. Such applications induce
a rank, sappy growth that makes pear
trees much mcie liable to blight, and
will surely cause destructive rotting Of
the stone fruits. With apples there Is
less danger, and they may safely be
fertilized quite heavily. Excessive
wood growth is, however, never desir-
able in i bearing orchard of any kind.
The trees should be carefully watched.
and be given such treatment as will
give crop of well developed fruit:
and at the same time, moderate
growth of well matured wood. The
leaves should always be of dark rich
green, for pinched yellow foliage in
dicates starvation.

WAGES THEY RECEIVE.
The Miners Make Statements to President

Columbus, o., July Is. President
Ratchford has mailed personal requests
to miners throughout the country ask
ing for statements regarding the wages
they received, for publication, for the
benefit of the public.
Thirty-nine miners in the Sand Creek
valley have been heard from. Since
early in the spring the wages of these
men for each two weeks has averaged
S5.74 each. The total earnings was
23.9s, and for the same period their
Indebtedness to the operators for rent,
provisions, mining materials, etc, ag-
gregated S6l929, leaving them in debt
to their employees in the sum of $500 H..
President Ratchford says this is a fair
sample of the condition of the miners.
