TEXTILE STRIKE TO-DAY
FIRST TEST OF STRENGTH WILL
 BE SHOWN.

Small Group of Capitalists Represent
 ing s25,OOO,OOo and 25,oOO Operatives
 Arrayed Against Each Other-SIills
 Gates VIII Open This Morning for All
 Those wishing to Work-FeeIing
 Very Bitter,
 Fall River, Mass. July 24.--With hope of peaceful settlement abandoned, both sides in the impending industrial trouble here await with dogged deter imitation the coming of tomorrow, and the first test Of strength between little group of manufacturers repre- |senting combined capital of $25,o00,- 900 on one side, and more than 25,000 cotton mill operatives on the other.
 The mill gates will be opened at the usual time tomorrow morning, when the operatives will be given an oppor- tunity to go to work under a wage re- auction of 12 1-2 per cent. If an in- sufficient number responds the mills will be closed for an indefinite period. The strike leaders were of the opinion this evening that there would not be enough operatives applying for work throughout the entire city to run even one mill, to say nothing of the eighty or more that are affected by the or der to strike. The manufacturers on the other hand, claim that the 2,000 union men who voted to strike do not represent the sentiment of the great body of cotton mill employees. They give the total number of operatives on their pay rolls as 25.6SO. This of course, does not include the employees at the independent mills of M. c. D. Borden, which are not involved.
 The talk on the streets, however, in dicates that the feeling against the manufacturers is quite as bitter among the nor-union operatives as it Is among those who are affiliated with the labor organizations.
 John Golden, president of the United Textile Workers of America, the leader of the strike, has cautioned the oper- atives not to go near the mills to- morrow morning. Many wild threats have ben made by an uninfiuential class #of workers, but no importance Is at tached to them, and violence is not expected.
 The only possible break in the ranks of the strikers is looked for at the Border City mills. These mills, which nominally employ 775 operatives, have mot yet been operated on full time for two months, and the people who are employed there are reported desperate from want.
 Regarding the non-union element the stike leaders believe that if 1t can be demonstrated for two weeks that the .non-union operatives can live on strike benefits as well if not better than on the wages paid by the mills, the strike can be prolonged indefinitely.
 The police have made but little prep aration for handling the crowds of strikers, but officers will be stationed at the mill gates.
 Several small stores patronized chief ly by the operatives have been obliged to close owing to the abrupt falling off of trade, and on all sides an alarm ing decrease in business has followed the issuance of the strike order.

Tekio, July 24-7 p. m.-The passage of the Dardanelles by the Russian vol- .unteer fleet steamers, the seizures of German mail and the capture in the Red Sea by Russia of the Peninsular and Oriental steamer Malacca have at tracted great attention throughout Ja- pan.

ALL THE ALLIED TRADES

 ternational Omcers Report That Cudahy < co. and sehwnrzschiId <
 sulzberser VIII Make Settlement
 With Men.
 Chicago, July Undetermined on a fight to a finish to enforce the demands |of the striking butchers, a sympathetic strike of all the union workmen en- ployed in the meat packing industry throughout the country, with the ex- ception of she teamsters, will be declar- ed tomorrow morning at o'clock. To- night the indications are that the team. sters will join the other unions on Tues- day in order to bring the packers to terms. The teamsters employed in the Chicago plants at meeting to-day de- clared in favor of the sympathetic strike, but their decision has not been ratified as yet by the joint council of the teamsters' union. The joint coun- cil will meet late tonight for the pur- pose of considering the proposition. The general belief is that the decision of the teamsters to join in the strike will be indorsed by the council This in dorsement of the joint council is not final, however. as the international off, |cers of the teamsters' union have to sanction the proposed strike before the men can leave their work. Under these circumstances 1t is not likely the team sters will be officially called out before Tuesday.
 No conferences were held to-day eith- Ter by the packers or the labor leaders. Whether or not the packers would make any concessions to the demands of the labor leaders in order to prevent Ia general walk-out of the trades at the stock yards would not be discussed by any of the packing house representa- lives to-day, but from the preparations going on at the different plants during the day it was plainly evident that the packers intended to fight for their inde- pendence. All the labor leaders declar- ed that they would await to-morrow's s developments and that the packers would have to make the request for a resumption of peace negotiations, as the unions had no intention at the present time of doing so.

novel method for insuring the
freshness Of eggs has been adopted by
a dairymen's association In the vicinity
Of the city Of Kehl, Germany. The
agents OF this association go among the
farmers each day and purchase eggs,
the farmer guaranteeing that these
have been laid within the previous
twenty -four hours. In consequence OF
this guarantee the association pays the
farmer pfennigs. or about half a cent,
above the regular market price fof
each egg. The association then makes
a record of each purchase by giving
the farmer Il registered number and
numbering each egg IN ii corresponding
manner When a consumer chances 10
find stale egg he returns It TO the
dealer, who in turn charges IL to the
association, which reports the matter 20
the farmer The method Is a protection
20 all parties concerned and Is said to
meet with much success The eggs are
delivered to the dealer In cases con-
tanning five dozen each. This unique
method will doubtless interest many OF
our readers. although we doubt II any
association would adopt the method In
this country y.-Conneciicut Farmer.

An Ever BearinE strawberry.

One Of the hybrIdlzing experts Of the
department OF agriculture is working
upon the production of an ever bearing
strawberry-that IS. one which Will
bear during the growing season. II is
believed that 1t will be possible TO pro
duce a strawberry which VIII bear O
continuous crop OF six or eight weeks
duration, though, OF course, the produc
ton will not be as heavy at any one
time as Is the case in the present varI-
ETY. Such a strawberry would be OF
great value for the home garden. Even
now, by planting four or five varieties
ranging from very early to very late, 1t
is possible for the gardener TO almost
double the length of his strawberry
season over that Of the old time gar.
dener OF twenty-five years ago.

HINTS FOR FARMERS


While the corn crop Of the country
as a whole will be sufficient In guam
tity, 1t viii average poor In quality,
The amount Of well cured Nebraska
seed corn viii be small on account Of
the lateness OF the season.
The drying season will be short. Il
not also moist, making the curing Of
seed corn a difficult matter. Frosta
have killed a great deal Of corn thia
fall before ripe enough for seed This
makes the chances IN favor of very
limited supply Of seed corn for next
years planting, and high prices will
probably prevail. The superiority Of
home grown varieties over those
brought in from farther south can
hardly be overestimated The past sea-
son has demonstrated this so thorough
ly that in years 60 come home grown
seed corn will be at premium.
Farmers who have well matured
fields Of sweet corn should save 1t for
seed It viii nnd good market II ,,ot
all needed Oh the farm.
The selection OF ears is very slin-
pie matter. yet It is very Important in
saving seed corn
The Wisconsin experimcni station ln
recent timely bulletin recommends
the grower 10 90 through the deld wts
a baskecor bag aud snap OFF the larga
ears These can be carried TO The edge
