T. ia . ousstion 70 the AGRICULTURAL press

1t is question If the agricultural press
is benefitting anybody by hammering the
Ben Davis. Before we kill the apple
wouldn't it be well to have something
better to take its place? At the present
time we have no apple that will stand up
the whole year around but the Ben Davis;
1t is the only apple we have from April
till apples come again; it fills place and
is in demand. When we have something
better, then graft the Ben Davis; but till
then, when you are cutting out the
orchard, don't cut off the limb you are
standing on. 1t is good thing to make
. change if you are wrong, but oelore
doing It be sure you are wrong.

WANT MINING LAW TESTED.
Operators and Miners Dissatisfied With
Act Prohibiting Employment Of
Boys Uunder I6 Years Old
in Coal Mines,

Steps we're taken yesterday to have
the law regulating the employment Of
minors In the coal mines OF Pennsyl-
vanla tested. Previous TO the last
session OF the Legislature IA years was
the minimum age for boys employed
within the mines and 12 years for boys
employed outside the mines. At the
last session an amendment was passed
raising the age to 10 for inside workers
and II for outside workers.
The movement originated In the east
ern part OF the State, and while the
miners OF the bituminous districts knew
that something was being done they
had the impression that it referred to
the anthracite region only and paid no
attention TO II. The law, however, af-
fects the soft coal mines, and the mine
inspectors had no choice in the matter
OF enforcing IL.
Notices to keep boys under 10 years
OF age out Of the mines were issued, and
were met with storm Of protest. Many
of the boys employed are the sons of
dead miners and frequently are the
only support OF their families ; Others
are boys who help their fathers, their
labors materially increasing the pay
received. The claim was at once set
up that the law was not valid, and in
one case meeting was held and the
law denounced
In order to get test case, Inspector
James Blick yesterday went before AL
derman John Groetzinger and entered
information against Frank Schultz, the
foreman OF the Summer Hill mine, near
Woodville, one of the Pitttburg Coal
Companys properties. Two violations
Of the law are specified in the employ
ment of Elmer Sclacker and Stanley
Gabberish, both OF whom are declared
TO be under 16 years OF age. Schultz
| appeared before the alderman and gave
bail In $500 for his appearance at the
| September term OF court. The case
will be so handled that the question OF
the validity OF the law will be brought
before the court for an opinion. Both
the miners and the operators are dis
satisfied with the law as IL stands

News of Interest to the Changers

progressive and staunch citizenship.
From their training at their local
grange meetings during the whole year
round they gradually but surely have
developed into broader minded, bet
ter informed people OF larger efficiency.
The platform at these picnics furnishes
broad forum for the intelligent and
free discussion OF questions OF the day.
THEFT relations TO the welfare OF the
State IA they affect agriculture will be
freely discussed. That broader view Of
the interests OF the people is to be pre-
sented and no political partisan dis
cussions or presentations will be toler-
ated.
Resolved, That we endorse the action
of the last Tioga County Pomona
Grange, whereby IL unanimously in
structed our State Legislative committee
to work for the enactment Of such legis-
lation as will embody the principles Of
"direct legislation" through the Initia-
tive and Referendum which would give
the people the right to vote upon such
State legislative measures as they saw
fit to demand by petition.
A series OF field meetings, or picnics,
embracing every portion OF Penn'a has
been mapped out by the State Grange.
They are open and free and everybody
is invited to take lunch along and
spend day with friends enjoying the
recreation and entertainment provided
by the Grange organization. Plan now
to have your friends meet you there
and laugh with the "funy man" from
Maine. He will open his fun box at
every picnic. Then you will want to
hear some sound Grange gospel and a
State Grange Lecturer will attend and
discuss the issues Of the day. Music
and some additional literary exercises
will be provided by the Pomona Grange
of each county.
