on a strike, Thursday morning. called
out by notice from the headquarters at

action is taken because Mr.. John

tract on the Chicago post office job
done by non-union labor at the Mt
Waldo works is interested in the work
at HalioweH"
y Well-known member of the local
union was seen by the Journal last
evening, and he said the Hallowell
cutters We're not on a strike. and.
furthermore, he was practically sure
that no orders to that effect had been
received by the officials of the union.
As soon as an order to go out is re
ceived action on the part of the union
is immediate. Regarding the posi-
bility Of strike the officials will say
nothing. That non-union labor is being
employed on the Chicago post office CON
tract at Mt Waldo seems to be gen
orally known. and also that Mr.. Pierce.
who is interested in work there. is in

A NEW TARIFF.
New Jersey Farmers Advocate Placing
a Duty on Farm Products.

Washington. June 23-Richard
Coles. i farmer Of salem county. y. j.,
VS. before the industrial commission
today Tie said the farmers OF New
jersey had 70 especial complaint
though there was 4 general feeling that
conditions might De improved.
Within the past % years farms in lis
section had deprecated in value about
30 per cent. He was inclined to at
tribute the lower prices of products to
competition from the West and South.
He advocated Il tariff on farm pro
ducts. putting them on the same basis
as the manufacturers. Such a policy
would result in saving to the United
States the $500 600, 000 or $500, 000. 900 nov
sent abroad for articles of an agricul-
tural nature
Samuel r.. ketchum, also a New Jer-
sey farmer. was before the commits
sion. during the afternoon. He ex-
pressed the opinion that the outlook for
farming in the United States was
bright. believing that the time was not
far distant when the demand for farm
produce would be equal to the supply.
one Of the hardships with which many
farm owners have had to contend for
the past quarter of a century. was the
decline in prices Of farm lands
He also thought that the best agri-
cultural lands in the West had been
located and that the increase in pro-
duction in that section would not be
50 rapid in the future as it had been
in the past As q consequence the in
crease in population would soon make
good the difference.
