over almost all other crops; as spell

longevity of the tea plant and its re-

to withstand the extraordinary drain

There are numerous productive tea
gardens in India and Ceylon which
have successfully borne 30 years and
more of cropping, and one in Japan
whose plants have afforded tea of
superior quality for more than 200

He defended the boycott as legal and d

In reply to question, Mr. Gompers
said that organized labor views trusts
simply as their employers. There had
been cases in which the organizations had
been benefited 1t was too early to de-
eide whether men would be more stead
lily employed by the trusts than by other
employers. He said that these combina-
tons have more influence in securing leg
islation than had unorganized capital He
took a position against cooperative
schemes, saying that experience had
proved that laborers secured no greater
advantages under them than under tho
wage system. He had no fear of the fu-
ture of unorganized labor. The condition
of labor to-day was better than ever
before, and he also attributed the i'm
provement to the influence of organized
labor. LIN
Mr.. Gompers favored an amendment to
the constitution fixing a maximum Of
eight hours per day for labor. Speaking
of the effect of advanced labor legisla ron
in different states, he said there would
be no backward step.

ter yield is equivalent TO about 400
pounds to the acre and five and three
quarter ounces to the bush, results
which are far beyond those of the Jap
anese and Chinese tea gardens, and
about equal to the average Of India
and Ceylon. Had the plants been
placed at closer intervals, such as are
observed in the Orient and 1atterly at
Pinehurst, the crop might easily have
exceeded the rate of 500 pounds to the
acre.

slightly more than two acres of tea
plants at AKA feet distances. 1t was

NJ. Alicot said he wanted to know if
the government had authorized the dis
play of flags referred to and remarked
sarcastically that M. Loubet, with ad-
mirahle tact" had turned away when
the red flags approached. The premier
replied that the government had not
authorized the carrying OF red f1ags IN
the procession, adding that whatever
discordant notes might have peen
struck yesterday, they only served TO
emphasize the magnificent acclamaainn
which greeted the republic and its nrst
