LABOR UNION G0T DECISION.
State Arbitration Hoard Found for
the Cutters.

Haverhill, April 5.-For the first time
since the Union stamp agreement was
signed between the shoe manufactur-
ers and the Boot and Shoe Workers
Union, arbitration by the state board
has been invoked and has resulted in
a victory for the cutters, who had ask
ed for an increase in their wages.
Nearly 800 cutters in local union stamp
factories will be benefited.
The arbitrament came about by the
demand of the cutters employed by the
firm of Chesley & Rugg two months
ago that minimum wage scale of SIS
be established for nine-hour day, or
$3.50 for tenhour day. The state
board recommends a working schedule
of fiifty-nine hours per week; outside
cutters an increase of so cents per week
or weekly scale of $3.50; trimming
cutters, $1275 per week, an increase of
rs cents.
Every one of the eleven union stamp
factories in Haverhill is affected by the
recommendations

about sixty miles below the city, on
the west bank of the river, and close
to the tracks of the New Orleans. Fort
Jackson and Grand Isle Railroad. The
river there is very deep. A part of
the batture caved in, carrying with
it a hundred feet of the levee. The
plantation was soon inundated. but re-
pair work was almost as quick. A
train of material was run to the place
and a crib was built on the land side.
This cribbing, 200 feet long, was built
and filled with sacks of earth by night,
checking the flow so that the drainage
machine could carry off the water.
There is a heavy body of water against
the crib however, and the danger is
not past. Work will be continued all
night.

Crop Conditions.

The following summary oil
crop conditions has just been
given out by the Portland branch
of the United States Department
of Agriculture:
A few small showers occurred
Sunday in the Willamette Val
ley, but otherwise the past week
has been dry, with temperature
averaging slightly above normal.
The rains were insufficient to be
of much benefit to the late crops
and pastures, which are now be-
ginning to need rain quite badly.
Feed is getting short on the
ranges, and the supply of milk
is decreasing in the dairy dis
tricts. Stock, however, con-
tinues doing fairly well, and cat
tie as rule, are in good flesh.
An average second crop of
alfalfa has been harvested in
southern sections. There is some
hay yet to be cut in the coast
counties, but haying in general
is now completed, with satisfac-
tory yields in all parts OF the
state.
The grain harvest is being
pushed everywhere, and in the
Willamette Valley the yields are
especially good, and in Eastern
Oregon they are mach better
than expected, although not
averaging as heavy as last year.
Spring grain ripened under favor
bic weather conditions, and the
heads are we'll filled with plump
berries.
The week has been favorable
for hops, and although lice are
more numerous than usual, the
vines have not been injured to
any extent, and the prospects are
for yields slightly below those OBJ
tanned las; year. Corn has made
good pros ress, and it is now tas-
selling and caring. Late pota-
toes and gardens need rain.
Pruncs are not dropping So
badly as they did during the pre-
vious week, and this crop will be
an extra good one. Bartlett
pears are also very promising.
Apples are quite uneven, and it
is expected the yields will be
less than the average.
