ting the stand clean and reproducing
it by sprouts. A clean-cut stand
should be protected by occasional
strips of timber left uncut for the
protection of the succeeding crop of
sprouts. This is especially necessary
on the prairies where heavy winds
prevail. for the young sprouts are
very tender and easily broken off
during the first year or two Of their
growth. The protective strips are
best run east and west, as the most
damaging winds are from the south.

Growers need not hesitate to force
the growth of their Catalpas, as the
wood is apparently just as good when

observation-disclosures Re
main Firm.

PHILADELPHIA, June 3.-Today wit
messed the first break in the ranks of the
ingram carpet manufacturers.
Several of the larger firms announced to
their employees their intention of granting
the demand of the weavers for fifty-five-
hour week and an increase of 10 per cent
in wages.
The plant of Lightenburger & Co. re-
sumed operations on this basis today.
James Pollock & Son and Robert Carson
notified their men that they considered the
demands just, and were ready to make
concessions If other manufacturers could
be induced to submit.
Difference of Opinion.
This move is said to be the result of a
meeting of the carpet manufacturers held
at the Manufacturers Club.
About fifty-f1ve representative carpet mill
owners were in attendance.
There was a difference of opinion among
them, and eleven manufacturers who
favored making concessions withdrew from
the meeting, as the sentiment Of the ma
jority was against them.
The hair cloth weavers left their looms
today, closing the four mills located here.
Otherwise the situation in the textile
workers strike remains unchanged.
Numerous meetings were held by the
strikers today, one in Fairmount Park, and
it was unanimously decided to remain firm.

they will be entirely willing to refer it to
the chairman of the commission Judge
