BINDER TWINE.

'THE local dealers in binding twine who do not
handle the state prison product, laughing in
their sleeves over the turn events have taken in the
Irvine market. They Of course a little prejudced
against the prison twine, sold direct to consumers

born out by the facts that they asking only

the state of Minnesota. The cheap Irvine mentioned
in the above article undoubtedly procured from
the Roberts supply house in Minneapolis. This
Irvine is Of such inferior quality that compari
son with the prison made article is ridiculous. Its
length is great deal shorter. It is so wretchedly
thin in places that the binder will break it in revov

and knots which are incapable of passing through
the machine without breaking and causing consider
able delay. If the farmers have been duped in buy

supply house, account of it being somewhat
cheaper than that manufactured here why greater

The habit Of making presents to those who
happen to hold position shade above the ordinary
individual, is not very popular one. How where
this custom originated unable to say, but we
do know that it should be reversed if allowed to
tinue. Many who asked to contribute toward
of these testimonials often in position
where they can little afford to spare the amount
asked. 1t frequently happens that the man receiv-
ing such present from his help commands large
salary. Is it not reasonable to expect him to
bestow these presents than those who are beneath
him? Certainly it is Then why continue the
practice? When money is almost obtained under

ers say that from reports at hand from
Dauphin, Columbia, Schuylkill and

collieries cannot be operated.
Before the close OF the week the United
Mine Workers expect to have most Of
the operations in the district at staad-
still.
The leaders say that the operators and
coal companies underrate the strength
Of the union.
The officials Of the Philadelphia and
Reading Coal and Iron company stated
that il enough men stayed awsy from
the mine to compel the Henry Clay shaft
to shut down, the mules will be hoisted
after which the colliery will be aband-
oned.
The United Mine Workers claim that
the company will not permit the shaft to
be flooded.
Despite the fact q considerable sum OF
money had been disbursed by the Min
eral and Union coal companies there has
been little if any intoxication among the
miners and no disorder has been report
ed from any of the outlying mining ham
let's.
