mated that 20 per cent of the employees
of the silk mills for whom looms were
ready stayed away from work. No
general strike of the silk workers has
been ordered and none is likely for a
day or so, If at all. The committee of

the boss dyers and ask them to come
to an agreement with their dyers help
ers met with partial success.

workers, after hearing a report of the
subcommittee stating that the mill
owners refused to close their plants
until the Paterson troubles were set
tied, voted to remain out and endeavor
to call all out who remain at work.

HELPING NATURE ALONG.

The use of electricity as a stimu-
liant in the growth of plants is begin
ming to be understood. Various ex-
periments have been made to deter
mine the best method of applying the
electrical influence, such as stimula-
tion of the air surrounding the grow
ing plants by means of a system of
wires discharging electricity, but the
most effective methods seems to be
that of passing an electric current
through the ground containing the
seeds and the growing plants. Under
this condition the plants attain a very
rapid growth and are vigorous and

Special TO the Indianapolis Journal
TERRE HAUTE, Ind, June 1.-THE coal
miners are beginning 10 feel the effect OF
the policy of the railway companies in con-
f1scating coal. At first the companies sent
all coal cars they could get hold of TO the
mines to be loaded and added them TO the
loads, consigned to Chicago and other
markets. which they had con1scated and
put in store in the railroad yards at dl-
vision points to make sure Of having coal
for the engines should the anthracite strike
be extended TO the bituminOus fields
At first only the operators felt the effect
Of the railway managers policy because
the coal consigned TO customers was not
delivered. The miners were kept busy,
however, filling the cars sent to the mines
by the railroad companies. Now that these
have been loaded and practically all avail
able coal in railroad yards the
operators cannot give the miners work be-
cause they cannot get cars into which 10
load the coal few days more OF the
car shortage will cause a shutdown In
the Indiana mines that will reduce the out
put 70 to 30 per cent.
