the Assistance of the Amalgamated
Association Strikers.

In anticipation of a long strike the
National Lodge officers of the Amalga-
mated Association have decided to APP
peal for financial aid. and the following
circular has been prepared and is be.
ing sent out to the general public:
''As you are undoubtedly aware The
United States Steel Corporation is now
waging Il war against organized labor
by making the Amalgamated Associa-
tion the subject on which to begin opel-
ati"ns. At our last convention 1t WIS
unanimously decided to ask the United
States Steel Corporation, when settling
its annual scales with the Amalgamated
Association, that they sign or recognize
the scale of the A. A. in all their mills.
When the matter was broached, the r.
quest was peremptorily refused. After
the holding of several conferences the de-
mand of our organizati IN was modified
SO as TO take in only the mills o. three
of their constituent companies, viz: The
American Sheet Steel Company, Amrri-
eau Tin Plate Company, and the Amcri.
can Stec, Hoop Company, WI ere local
lodges had been formed. and where the
mcG were very desirous of being union
men, and are now out on strike for rero:s-
milton.

Stcc! Crmn,ny'- only arguments We're
that they did not desire the Amnlga,
mated Association to become too power
fill. and that they should hold the bal
ance of power. Later conferences Were
held with the heads of the United States
Steel ComDnuy. who submitted Il pr,
position that we only sign f.r the mills
signed last year. with the exception ot
the sheet mills in Salisbury and Scott.

JAPANESE AROUSED.
Hawaiian Quarantine Officers Acts
Cause Much Indignation.

Yokohama, Aug. 81, via Victoria, B.
c., Sept. 4.-tireat Indignation has been
stirred up in Japan. hy reports Of the
alleged outrageous treatment of .Iapa-
nese ladies' on the Nippon Maru by the
quarantine officers Of Hawaii. Nothing
In the course of all the relations be-
tween America and japan has aroused
so much press comment or such strong
popular feeling.
The incident shows the difficulties
that are before the American govern
ment should the Japanese be discrimi,
mated against IN the framing OF immi-
grafton laws. Any such discrimination
would also destroy the extraordinarily
friendly relations which have always
existed between the two governments.
One of the leading Tokyo papers
points out how jealously western pow
ers guard their flag and their nationa
reputation from any indignity or injus
tice. 1t holds that Japan lacks self as
sertiveness and that she might win ;
larger measure of respect If she insist
ed on receiving it.

SPANISH CLAIMS PLANS.

Commission.

Comm issiOn.
Washington, Sept. 4. ~ The Spanish
claims commission, while taking things
very quietly this summer, has progress
ed far enough to realize the inadequacy
of the plans of congress for the work
that has been set before it. The act
under which 1t was created will doubt
less have TO be amended if ii is to do
the work originally intended.
The commission also needs more mon
ey for its own expenses and needs q
larger force Of men if it Is TO take trSti-
mony in New York, Washington. Cuba
ani elsewhere. Even on the present
simple plans it is said that the money
appropriated will not last until con
greSS meets.
Some time the first week in October
the full commission will assemble ia
discuss these and other plans for con
timing its work. A report will proba.
bly, be prepared, to which the early mt.
tention of congress will be invited.

PARASITES AND FIGS.
How the Little BIastophaga Fertiiires the
Smyrna Fig.

How the Little BIastophaga Fertilires the
Smyrna Fig.
A new industry has been brought
into the United States during the past
two years by the introduction and ac-
climatizatlon of the little insect which
fertllizes the Smyrna fig in Medlter-
ranean countries, says DR.. l.. o. How
ard, in Everybody's Magazine. The
dried-fg industry in this country has
never amounted to anything. The
Smyrna fig has controlled the dried
fig markets of the world. but in Cali
fornia the Smyrna fig has never held
its fruit, the young figs dropping from
the trees without ripening. 1t was
found that In Mediterranean regions
little insect known as the Blasto-
phaga fertilizes the flowers of the
Smyrna fig with pollen from the wild
fig which It inhabits. The United
States department of agriculture in
the spring of 1899 imported success
fully some of these insects through
one of its travelling agents. Mr. w. T.
Swingle, and the insect was success.
Joaquin valley. A far-sighted fruit
grower, Mr.. George c. Roeding. OF
Fresno, had planted some years pre-
viously an orchard of 5000 Smyrna
fig trees and wild fig trees. and his
place was the one chosen for the sue
cessful experiment. The little insect
multiplied with astonishing rapidity,
was carried successfully through the
winter of 1S99-1900. and in TIE sum.
mer of 1900 was present IN such great
numbers that It fertilized thousands
of figs, and Is tons of them ripened.
When these figs we're dried and
packed 1t was discovered that they
were superior to the best imported
figs. They contained more sugar and
were Of finer flavor than those
brought from Smyrna and Algeria.
The Blastophaga has come to stay,
and the prospects for a new and i'm.
portant industry are assured
