Labor Conditions Perfect.

Labor conditions during the year
have been as nearly perfect as the most
exacting could ask for. IN none Of the
camps of Utah are men forced to eat
at company boarding houses. In many
places these are maintained through
necessity. But wherever such is the
case the men are provided with better
accommodations at smaller cost than
they could possibly obtain elsewhere.
The eight-hOur law is recognized and
obeyed, as far as possible. to the let
ter. Good wages are paid and in near
". all cases is there the best of feeling,
induced by just consideration of each
others rights, between the employe
and employer. Nothing is seen or heard
\ of bullying tactics and. as a result,
harmony prevails in all departments
of the states greatest industry.
Some concern is felt on the part OF
mine arrangements to know where the
men that will be needed during the
coming year are TO be obtained For
the first half of the year, probably no
particular trouble viii be experienced,
but with the completion of the new
smelling works and the demand for
miners that their running will entail
the supply is going to be none too
great.

some of them individually during the week,
they had objected to the unions on account
of the methods employed during times OF
trouble. While ] acknowledged mistakes

not to blame, but which had done great
injury 20 the cause, and for which the
unions had had TO bear the brunt. still
did not think II fair to condemn the prin-
ctples of unionism because Of the acts OF
individuals; I wanted them to
understand that the Typographical union
was composed OF educated. intelligent men
and Whatever methods they employed,
should they be compelled 20 employ any,
would be in keeping with their character.
again assured them that the executive
board OF the union stood ready for con-
ference and hoped that should they not
see Mt to take a neutral stand they would
use their influence TO bring about speedy
settlement.
Those, l think were the most important
points made. Altogether we had a novel
and enjoyable experience, and received
nothing but courtesy and respect ana our
hope now is that we may be the means
OF doing some good, and we will not forget
the friends Of labor, Although was the

Before the Executive Committee.
Our last and most important interview
was with Mr.. Euclid Martin. president of
the Business Mems association. Most i'm
portant because 1t resulted in our being
privileged 20 meet with the executive COM
mittee Of that association and state our
case there. Mr.. Martin said he was mot
privileged to speak for the association, as
whatever was done there was secret" but
he kindly invited me to attend a meeting
which was to be held next day, and said he
would insure me a respectful hearing"
/ gratefully accepted his invitation and
together with my committee appeared at
the Commercial club. rooms promptly on
time next day Mr.. Martin introduced me
and said he had informed me that his asso-
citation was formed for the protection OF
the business men. Labor had organised for
their benefit and they considered they had
the same privilege, and whatever action
would be taken in this matter would be
taken in secret session, and politely limited
to be brief.
After thanking them for the privilege 1
stated the facts as We all knew, viz, that
at the expiration of the contract between
the employing job printers and the Typo
graphical union on October three Arms
had voluntarily locked their men out The
| others had held out as long as they posi-
bly, could until extreme pressure had been
! brought 10 bear which compelled them to
lock their men out also. AS we understood
the situation, some OF the members OF this
executive board were instrumental in
] bringing the pressure to bear
| Position of the Union.
The typographical union did not want TO
use any arbitrary means TO settle this
| trouble. but wished 10 settle il quietly
with the employers They had always been
| friendly 10 the business men, in way
| perhaps they did not realize; that the
| executive board OF the union stood ready
now or at any time to meet with the en-
pIoying printers, or with this executive
board, TO confer with them regarding a
settlement. as this trouble would involve
not only the Typographical union but other
! unions as well. While not presuming 10

He knew nothing Of printers, but had
not found it so one instance at least where
two union carpenters waited five minutes
for the hour to strike before they would
commence work"

unionism, and, like so many other en-
ployers, thinks men are organized to go

Frye Explains situation.

Mr.. Frye OF the Booth Packing company
was the next. We found him looking rather
fierce and dignifed. on account, no doubt
of his once being king of Ak-Sar- Ben. He
told us, politely, our story was all wrong;
we had been mislnformed; the Business
Mems association had nothing 70 do with il
that was simply a political gag; unions
had simply gone too far and the employers
would not stand for it, walking agitators

wondered IL he was calling us names); did
not believe in an eight-hour day; worked
ten hours himself. and ran two places OF
business; understood that printing could be
done cheaper in surrounding cities than IN
Omaha, and therefore the employing print
ers could not raise their prices TO meet any
further demands; fewer hours would mean
TO close their doors"
replied the union is not TO blame for the
cheaper rates in those cities. Living is
cheaper and you cannot expect prices to be
the same. The union has asked the Typo
thetae for years to assist them in raising
the scale In those cities. but It had done
nothing IL seems TO me the remedy lies

Isaac Carpenters Attitude.

Our next stop was at the Carpenter Paper
company, where we met Mr.. Isaac Car
penter. Again we told our story and again
we were met by the same reply. that he
knew nothing OF the trouble and did not
think the business men had anything to do
with it. but as for himself he thought the
idea of an etght-hour day was absurd.
Unions were carrying the thing too far and
were never contented. He could not pos
sibly run his business on an eight-hour day

The Mountain Filipinos.

Secretary Taft made public recently
a mail report received from Governor
Wright in regard to the condition OF
affairs in Samar and other islands Of
the Philippine group. 1t is in part as
follows:
THE great bulk of the civilized Fill
pinos live on or not remote from the
coast line, but there are scattered
communities living in the mountains,
who are little removed from savagery.
1t frequently happens that some enter
prising man among them will obtain a.
considerable following and will perpe-
trate all sorts of outrages upon peace
full and inoffensive inhabitants. This
cannot be changed at once. 1t there
fore may be inferred that for several
years to come there will be eruptions
from this source and that they wilb
make raids upon the civilized Filipinos
living in the lowlands as heretofore.
The commission, so far as its finances
permit, is engaged in building roads
to open up these remote sections of
the interior and to make them aces
sible."

Winter.Grown Asparagus.

Asparagus can be grown in the eel
lar in winter wherever the owner
heats his house by means Of fur
mace. The natural conditions in such
a cellar are favorable to the forcing
Of asparagus, as the temperature al
night usually hovers around SO de
grees and in the day time runs from
65 degrees to so degrees. We do moi
believe that the amateur will find
much profit in this, but some of the
professional gardeners do, and it may
interest some of our readers to try the
experiment and have a few messes
of tender asparagus in winter.
To get the results named, roots are
dug up in the fall before the GROUND
is too hard frozen to make digging
them out possible. If the roots have
been frozen, so much the better, as
they then respond more quickly to
the forcing process. They are placed
in boxes in the cellar near the fur
mace. Two or three inches Of sol
should be under the roots and five, si1
or more inches of earth above, as the
shoots need to be protected from ever
the dim light that is found in a eel
lar. Light is not needed to make the
roots produce shoots, as they produce
them from the substance laid up ir
he roots, but do not take anything
from the soil. Nevertheless, much
moisture is needed, as the shoots can
not develop without the help of 8
good deal of water A neglect in sup
plying moisture will soon render the
roots unproductive.
Roots should begin to produce
shoots in about twenty-five days after
being placed in the cellar. At some
of the stations roots placed in the
cellar about the first of December
have produced four or five good cut
tings before the middle of February
When the roots are done producing
they have to be thrown away, as they
will thenceforth be of no good for the
developing Of tops and new roots

that greatly injure the appearance Of
the potato. Singularly enough, scab
is more common in the best potato soil

often give a large per cent Of scabby

Loss of Soil Nitrogen.

The nitrogen of the soil Is one Of its
most important constituents and fer
tilizing element that quickly disap
pears. 1t volatizes rapidly and one OF
the chief agents of holding it in the
soil is the humus. When the humus
becomes exhausted the nitrogen es
,apes with increased rapidity. Elk
periments with continuous Vhea,
growing on the same soil have shown
that the animal and vegetable matter
in the soil disappears very rapidly
This causes the liberation of the nitro
gen. AS long as the nitrogen is III
combination with and forms a part OF
the humus, or decaying animal and
vegetable matter Of the soil, it Is in a
stable form; but as soon as the humus
decays the nitrogen is liberated in
various gases and soluble forms,
which are easily lost from the soil. II
is the statement of scientists thai
there is no element that is so readily
lost as nitrogen. 1t is not possible fol
the mineral forms of plant food, such
as potash and phosphoric acid, to be
converted into gaseous and soluble
forms by the ordinary chemica,
changes that take place in the soil
as in the case of nitrogen. Will
them the principal loss is in thei)
removal from the soil as plant food
But with humus it is different. There
is loss of course Of the plant food
by its being used by the crops, but
much additional is leached downward
by the soil water and some is sent
off in the form of gas when the humus
decays. We have an illustration Of
this in the decay Of piles Of manure
and vegetable matter. We say thai
we can smell the ammonia rising
from them; but that ammonia is the
gas into which the nitrogen in the
decaying mass is being changed.
The loss of soil nitrogen can only
be prevented by keeping up the hu
mus in the soil. In most countries
rotation Of crops alone is able
to do this. Some men brag that they
have grown wheat year after year on
the same soil for generation with
out loss, but it will be found that such
soil was in the beginning very rich
in humus. By all means rotate, and
include in the rotation some of the
legumes.

For Home pressmakers.

In home dressmaking the long seams
are often difficult to get quite straight.
AS an aid in scanning pieces for the
skirts of dresses, cloaks, etc, adopt
the following plan: Place one piece Of
the material on a smooth deal table
and the other above II. Smooth lightly
into place, and at one end Of the seam
pin tape measure to the stun and
through into the wood. Draw this
down to the other end Of the seam
and again stick in pin. Then with
long thread tack by the edge Of the
tape measure, and in scanning use
these stitches as guiding lines.
