UNION AT WINDSOR FACTORY
A Small Strike at the Windsor Factory is
Quickly Adjusted.


Quickly Adjusted.
The first labor trouble that has ever
occurred at the Windsor Spring factory
occurred late Saturday afternoon at
the little shop. However before the
men left the works the trouble was set
tied and everything is moving as usual
this morning. AS result of the stri ke
the manager has been brought to see
that the union was very strong among
his men and he has promptly TecOg-
niZed it.
The strike began Saturday afternoon
about pay time. Ben Windsor, the
proprietor of the business, was sitting
| in the office counting out the money to
pay the men for the weeks work when
one of the workmen entered and told
| him that he was needed in the factory
When the manager reached she
room he found the men engaged in a
heated argument concerning the fOrma-
| ton of union. One Of the foremen
| explained to Mr.. Windsor that during
| his absence on a business trip the men
in the shop had formed union and
had concluded to pin him down. Ben
was equal to the occasion and leapiDg
upon an empty nail key he addressed
the men and declared that he was will
ing to do anything that was for the
best interests of his employees, but still
he was opposed to the union. At this
juncture the boys all raised howl and
demanded that Windsor be pinned
down, and in obedience to their de-
mands one of the laborers walked up
and pinned beautiful diamond and
opal pin on the surprised manager as
token of the high esteem in which he
is held by his workmen. Of course
Ben ducked and hasn't had anything
to say since. He declares this morning
that he has recognized the union and
will be willing to recommend the same
to any of his fellow manufacturers.

The Chilean coal mines, opened i'll

in. The seam of coal runs from the
shore under the waters of the Pacific
ocean, and the tunnels are so clean
that you could walk through them in
a dress suit without making yourself
dirty. They are lighted by electricity
and you can have a ride for mile

a speed of 20 miles an hour. The mines
form quite a catacOmb of well lighted

of coal is now 1000 tons day, and

The Scuppernong.


should not be disregarded hastily,
even if it be but local. The scupper-
nong is Southern and not a North,
ern grape, and the Southern plan of
treatment is the only safe one for this
grape in the South.
This grape belongs to the Wits vul-
pima family of grapes-a family that
is $50 entirely unlike that of any other
grape in cultivation that the rules
generally applied to grape culture are
here at fault Most grapes root with
ease from cuttings, but these do not,
their wood being so dense and COM
pact that it is impossible to get cut
tings to strike. Consequently, they
are propagated by layers
The man from the North who thinks
he knows everything about grapes viii
find he must make an altogether fresh
start in caring for this grape. The
scuppernong twill not do we'll at all
spread out on perpendicular arbOrs
on the order of those used at the
North The scuppernong must en-
phatically be spread out uniformly on
q horizontal canopy, and not be per
mitted to overlap and crowd. If they
are so permitted the fruit production
is lessened and deteriorated." No lat
eral branches should be allowed on
the main trunk for six feet up.
This is how the canopy just referred
to is made: The beginning is with
the second seasons growth after
planting. Take four posts, arrange to
above the ground, and ten or twelve
feet apart. The top should be Stat
ted, 'and as the vine spreads the can
Opy must be spread also to meet it's
increasing requirements"
And now about pruning. No grape
should be pruned when the sap is. in
full flow in the early part of the year.
If it is so pruned harm is likely to re-
suit no matter what the kind of grape
vine, and in the case of the scupper-
nong family as this is especially true
This difference is owing to the fact
that here all the eyes or buds start out
of themselves, none remaining dor
mant, as they do in the case of most
other vines, thus causing more uni
form growth over the whole plant.
Sometimes, when the plant is unusu-
ally vigorous, the scuppernong
branches overlap and crowd; then the
feebler branches should be cut out.
When the scuppernong is cut at the
season when bleeding is naturally
most liable to be produced, then it
can not be stopped as easily as can
plants generally that thus bleed read

this is the story of how this can best
be done: GA strong, thrifty vine,
having been burned by it's frame catch
ing fire, was cut back by it's owner
to about eighteen inches from the
ground. The vine at once began to
bleed, and it's death must have speed
