ENGLISH "GO-EASYISM."
TOiIers Do as Little Work as Possible
for the Money They Receive.
Baltimore Sun.

Baltimore Sun.
Trade unionism, as developed in England
does not find support or imitation in the
United States. since our workers take kind
" to machinery and put energy into their
work. In England it appears, if articles
in the London Times different trades
can be trusted, that the unions have gone
mad. having an elaborate system of 'ca'
canny," or go easy, the essence of which
is that every workman shall do the least
possible amount of work for a given wage,
so as to leave work for others, and thus
increase the number of employed. Men who
work zealously are called down" and made
to restrict themselves to the average out
put. The result is that many industries
have become Improbable and the trade in
their products has gone to Germany the
United States. Dealing with the system as
II affects railroads the Railroad Gazette
says: The flower of this idea is only
found in shops where mechanical work is
done by men connected with old and thor
oughly organized trade unions; where, in
some cases, a man who could easily finish
NIFTY brass castings in a day is bound by
his agreement TO finish only eight. But rail-
road employees appear to be good learners
in this school One energetic workman,
While loading coal as fast as he could, was
told by his mates that he mustn't work
like that but he still kept on, and got a
black eye. a station master who asked for
more help at his station was told that he
had as many porters as formerly and that
the traffic had not grown. but he replied
that the men won't work they used TO.
1t appears that signalmen and other rail-
road employees who have had their hours
reduced now devote their additional leisure
TO shoemaking, gardening, plastering and
other work. which, of course. may interfere
with the prospects of livelihood formerly
enjoyed by men who depend on these Occu-
pations for their daily bread" AS these
same men on migrating to the United
States, work as hard and as many hours
as Americans, the cause Of Ca cannyism''
I'm England is TO be sought perhaps in the
slow traditions and social organization OF
the old country, as well as the erroneous
teaching of sOcialstic theorists There is
so little chance for a man to rise" sOcia lily
there that powerful incentive TO extra ex-
ertiOD and exceptional earnings is wanting.
whereas in this country the thrifty hard
worker may attain almost any position. At
present, however, employees as we'll as en-
ployers in England are beginning to get a
move on them, in view of the Industrial
ruin threatened by the continuance of the
old ways.

make comparisons on the average cost of

shorter there. and terminal expenses OF

mile on all American railroads for all
classes of freight IS now less than three

Midway Method OF Growing Tomatoes

Samuel A. Cook. I'm Orange Judd Farmer.
AS grower Of tomatoes for thirty years,
I do not hesitate to say that until one has
grown an acre or two after the midway
method he does not suspect the possibilities
of this plant. The plat for tomatoes,
whether large or small. is checked off 3x3
feet and a stake firmly driven in at each
check. Seeds OF selected dwarf champion
are sown in well-made cold frames about
six weeks before the plants are wanted for
setting out in the open ground. When the
time arrives, three well-grown, stOcky
plants are set around each stake in tri-
angle 12x12x12 inches. Before the plants
are set the soil has been well prepared with
pillow and harrow. roller II necessary har-

Three New Farm Hands.

Nebraska State Journal.
In an address to the Kansas State Board
of Agriculture, John Stahl, secretary of the
Farmers National Congress, told some
striking things about three new farm
hands that have recently made their ap-
pearance to facilitate the work Of the agri-
cuIturist and to make farm life much less
lonely than in the old days. The three
new hands are the telephone, the rural free
mail delivery and the country trolley. Some
of the points made are well worth repeat
ing:
The farm telephone, Mr.. Stahl said. has
gone a long ways toward taking away the
isolation and loneliness of country life.
Northern Illinois is becoming covered with
them. In some instances the farmers main
tain their own systems and in others the
toll lines running through the country are
connected with farm houses along the line
and the farmers are allowed the free use of
them for $3.50 month. 1t is a great con-
venience for a farmer to sit in his own
house and talk to a friend miles away just
as though he were within arms reach. 1t
saves him miles of travel. He can secure
Help, engage his threshing machine and
corn shelter, and do all sorts of things by
telephone. When q tramp or a peddler or
an agent appears in a neighborhood the
news is sent on ahead of him by telephone
and preparations are made for his recep-
ton. The rates in Chicago, Mr.. Stahl said,
were so high, $50 year that he could not
afford a telephone, but the tenants on his
farms could. He said he was out on his
farm at time and casting on a ma
chine was broken. The tenant telephoned
into Chicago to the factory and the rural
free delivery carrier the next morning
brought the casting from the city and
scarcely any time was lost
Mr.. Stahl also gave array OF statistics
concerning the good which rural free de-
livery has done the farmer and also made
some predictions concerning the extension
of trolley lines through the country, advis-
Ing the farmers TO give them right of way
