the Central Labor Union, though the local
was organized several years ago. and the
national union is affiliated with the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor.
1t is said that steps have been taken by
the Central Labor Union to organize the
bill posters of this city, and it Is very prob
able that a union will be formed in the
near future. The organization will be
chartered by the National Alliance Of Bill
Posters and Billers of America and be
affiliated with that body.
1t is stated that to secure membership in
the alliance it is necessary for the appli-
cant to demonstrate to the satisfaction OF
three experienced bill posters that he ls
competent to perform the duties of "A bill
poster, age and color being no bar II his
ability is sufficient.
The American Federation of Labor has
Endorsed and is sending a circular issued
by the general executive board of the
United Cloth Hat and Cap Makers of North
America, to the labor organizations
throughout the country, which severely
condemns the methods of the recently or
ganized Industrial Workers of the World
The circular charges that the workers are
pursuing rule or ruin policy under the
guise of the socialist party. Several in
stances are cited of dual organizations be-
ing formed by the industrial workers, of
temptible scabs, who. 1t is stated. were
drafted by the Cap Manufacturers Asso-
citation in the effort made about year ago
to force the open shop.
Another instance is cited of lockout of
union workers by the Detroit Cap Company
last May, and the adjustment of the trouble
by the firm signing an agreement for one
year 1t is alleged that a number of In
dustrial workers. who were also members
OF the Detroit socialist section. were In
strumental In influencing the firm to break
the agreement with the union and to expeIi
from the plant, by force of police, all union
cap makers.
THE question u.s." states the pamphlet
will the socialists of this country permit
the industrialfsts to sail under false
mask? Will the socialists sympdthixe with
movement which tends to disrupt the
labor organizations and which aims to get
itself In power by such foul means?
1.-THE Organized cap makers know very well
that the socialist party has kept It's hands
free OF ENHANCEMENT with the Industrial
lists. But we find 1t necessary to lay these
facts before the socialist party In order
that those comrades who expect any good
to come from the Industrial Workers Of
the World may understand the real situa-
ton, SO that they should have no cause Tor
disappointment later. For II Is clear now

Drouth in August affected the crop in
Wisconsin, and occasional reports
reach Orange Judd Farmer of some
scabby potatoes and some grub,
wuth here and there development of
rot. But the quality of Wisconsin
stock as whole, is good, meeting APP
probation of buyers and city dealers.
Minnesota is harvesting a crop of POI
tatoes good in both quantity and
quality in spite of drouth in August;
and that Is also true of Iowa.
The rate Of yield and quality of tub
ers are both fairly satisfactory in In
diana and Illinois. West of the Mis-
souri, river liberal quantities of fine
potatoes are available for market.
Colorado has a seed crop in the
aggregate, although the output
shows a shrinkage much below earlier
expectations, result of blight. The
weather in such Colorado potato coun-
ties as Weld and Larimer proved too
hot during the period of maturity.
Further south and southwest in KAN
sas, Missouri, Oklahoma, etc, the crop
is, of course, mostly made up Of early
varieties, long since harvested and out
of the way.

The POTATO CROP OF 1906 PROVES LARGE

Orange Judd Farmer: The potato
crop is considerably larger than that
Of year ago, and one of the greatest
ever produced. Prices just now are
suffering from excessive offerings,
these serving to depress to to a
low level, whatever may be the tend
ency later in the year. 1t is unfor-
|tunate that the potato crop is of such
La perishable nature, otherwise the lib
eral surplus might be spread over a
large stretch of time. While great
quantities of potatoes are stored
Throughout the winter and spring,
farmers, as a rule, are not equipped
with storage facilities, and market di-
rect from the field. This gives buy
ers the advantage during the weeks
Immediately following harvest.
The 1906 crop of potatoes, accord
ing to this, Orange Judd Farmer
final report, is estimated at 277,OOO,0OO
bushels compared with $4,000, O00
bushels in I95, and 2S9.0OO,00O bushels
In 1904. The crop made rather un-

opments thatare expected in Africa and
Alaska come off. African production
is increasing at an Immense rate and
Alaslas possibilities have not been
scratched on the surface. Placer
mining Is being replaced by the great
machinery which invention has pro-
vided for extracting the last grail Of
gold. 1t is freely predicted that
Alaska will one day surpass the Rand,
which is at present the greatest pro-
ducing gold field. Now comes the
news from explorers and scientists
that South Africa is the richest coun-
try in the world in gold. Its produce
ton is almost negligible today, but in
the coming generation it will be made
once more as it was in the days of
the Montezumas, the worlds greatest
source of gold supply. In the United
States, Nevada, California and Idaho
are. in order the centres of greatest
development and promise at present.
With modern methods the old Cali
fornia fields are being worked over
again and producing better returns

| the officials did not enforce last years
rules they will certainly not enforce
this years and 1t looks as though the
months of work of the committee will
go for naught.
The unexpected may happen and
they prove just what the public and
player is looking for. 1t would be a
splendid thing for football if some
coach or player develop an open and
certain game under the new code, and
it is far better for the success Of
teams if the coaches would pay more
attention to the problem of solving
the game than to expressing opinions
of the new rules. Better results are
bound to come If the coaches do not
prejudice their minds against the new
code by an adverse opinion, which will
only serve to crowd out any possibili-
ties for the development of the new
game. 1t must be remembered that
the rules are in way an experiment,
and if they do not prove satisfactory,
as will probably be the case they will
assuredly be changed before the next
playing season. At best they will do
little good for football if this is their
future.
At times this fall there is bound to
be some brilliant open playing that
will often decided the winning or los
ing of games, but after all is said and
done one cannot hope for much sat
isfaction in watching the new game
No team has yet been developed that
can make ten yards in three downs
consistently, and yet some very good
teams have been developed in the
twenty years that football has held
sway AT its very best the forward
pass is to be compared to a tumble
as way to gain ground, except that
there is certain deflnit plan in the
forward pass. "A fumbled ball goes
to the side that gets it as first down
which is an advantage over the for
ward pass because the side trying the
pass is handicapped by the rule that
gives the ball to the opposite side il
it first touches the ground. There is
little of certainty in the forward pass
and there will be very little success in
its use. The play is purely mat
ter Of luck as far as its success is
concerned, and the element Of chance
should be removed as far as possible
from the game.
1t is certainly to be hoped that the
game is not spoiled for this season.
But as yet no team has shown any
progress in developing running game
of open or massed plays that win gain
ground consistently, and to have the
game a series of punts up and down
the field, with the result Ringing on
the fumbling of one back or another
or on a fiukey kick, is not what the
American college game was intended
for. If such is the future, science,
team work, practice and fine playing
will be sacrificed for chance, and all
teams will have an equal chance for
game no matter how well coached
or trained.
The coming two weeks of the season
will largely show whether or no this
is to be the case. AS no one has
dared to suggest a system Of play that
viii avoid such contingency there
is little hope that it will not

August brought slightly less favor

in certain territory, and excessive
rainfall in others.
Blight appeared to some extent In
Minnesota, Michigan, Wisconsin, the
DalSotas and Colorado, and also in
New York and New England. Early
varieties showed really more damage
than late potatoes. Early September

noted a change for the better came
about, and the crop pushed rapidly to-
ward good maturity. New York, the
heaviest potato growing state, es-
capes serious blight. The Aroostook
country in northern Maine made good
returns in bulk. The west found the
crop practically matured by early Oc-
tober, and some of it was caught in
the digging by the surprising Vista

NEW YoRks CRIME RECORD.
Many Recent Murders Growing Out of
Tangled Love Affairs.

New York, Nov. 7.--An almost in
credible record of crime as an out
growth of tangled love affairs has just
been written down by the police of this
city.
In the brief space of one week three
men murderously shot down women
with whom they were in love- Two
completed their cowardice by taking
their own lives
During these same seven days there
was veritable storm of suicide and
violence, all traceable to the hot fury
of disappointed love.
Here follows, in brief form, the re-
markable record of seven days:
For several years Louis r. Brown
a handsome young fellow and son of
well-to-do parents. had been in love
with Laura Osten, a nurse They dined
at a fashionable hotel and started out
for a cab ride on Broadway. Suddenly
"a pistol shot caused the driver to stop.
He investigated and found that Brown
had shot the girl in the face.
After his arrest Brown said: 81
don't know why shot her / must be
crazy. / love her. She may recover.
Louis G.. Hampton 60, married, fl
nancier shot and killed Victoria Tacz-
kaw, 80, corset model because she
pressed him to carry out promise to
marry her. and committed suicide
Frank Dorsey shot Josephine
Schmidt, fellow clerk, who refused
his love. He committed suicide She
will recover
Daniel Sullivan ate ground glass and
then jumped into the East river. His
sweetheart had renounced him.
After a quarrel with his wife, Fred
erick ]. Sieber shot himself, dying in
stantly.
Hazel Cooper, actress, after quarrel
with her husband, killed herself by
drinking carbolic acid.
Geo. Dangler, a rich merchant, killed
himself because he feared that MS
wife would die from an operation.
VIM. Kramer entered street car,
blood gushing from pistol shot wound
In his arm. When arrested he refused
to give the name of the assailant. 81

ing lovers it is of passing interest that
wife desertion in New York has in
creased in the past year in an alarm
ing degree. The records of the depart
ment Of charities show 1,227 cases for
the year, 1t is estimated by the of1ic-
ials of the department that only about
one-third of the cases of desertion are
recorded at the charities bureau. This
would make the total number of wife
desertions more than 1000.
