New York, Jan. 2.-For the first
time since the organization of the
Typographical union. a general strike
will go into effect today in every shop
in the United States and Canada
where the employer refuses to grant
the eight hour day. Several times
before the union printers in various
parts OF the country have ordered
strikes to enforce a betterment of their
conditions but the strikes have always
been sectional and in many cases have
been won by the employers.
Now with treasury fund of more
than a quarter of a million dollars,
obtained by assessment on every un-
ion printer, determined effort is to
be made to establish the eight hour
day universally. Out of the 5000
members of Typographical union No.

less than 900 will be obliged to strike.
The Typothetae employers have estab-
ltshed temporary home for an army
of 700 non-union printers in an old

Our Underground Waters.

Irrigation in a region where The
rainfall is more than 6 feet annually
will strike most people as a superfu
| itv, but the results which have followed
its application in Florida and il
the coastal prairies of Louisiana and
Texas offer abundant evidence of its
value.
J In five years irrigation has changed
this country from an importer to ar
exporter of the important cereal rice.
1t has transformed hundreds OF
thousands of acres of land long re-
garded as valuable only for grazing
into cultivated rice fields producing
crops netting $40 an acre annually.
The great bayou for which Louis
lana is remarkable, deep, sluggish
streams, have been drawn upon heavi-
ly by many of the largest pumping
plants ever erected, to carry through
to harvest time vast fields of rice.
So valuableh has water become that utr
derground reservoirs have been
tapped by wells and giant pumps are
lifting these stores to hundreds of
farms.
Rice irrigation has proven so prof
liable that there is an increasing de-
mand for information from those in
terested in the undeveloped water re-
sources of Southern Louisiana. Many
valuable data on this subject have
been compiled recently by Prof. Gil
bert G. Harris and Mr.. NJ. L. Fuller,
and published in a pamphlet form IN
der the name of Underground Wat
ers of Southern Louisiana. A copy
of this pamphlet will be furnished free
of change upon application to the d.
rector of the U. S. Geological Survey,
Washington. D. C.
The information herein given is
valuable contribution to our knowl-
edge of the occurrence and Importance
of the underground water resources of
that section of the state.
