STRIKES ON INCREASE
WISCONSIN LABOR BUREAU SHOWS
CAUSES OF TROUBLES.
European Workman More Quiet Than
American, Consequently Less Strife
Between Employer and Employe.

MADISON, Wis, March 13.-[Spe-
cial. 1.-The Wisconsin bureau of labor
has just published the results of an in
vestigation, THE Statistical Aspect of
the Strike" This booklet is the result of
long study and extended research.
The purpose is to indicate statistically
the course OF movement or general eyo-
luton of the strike in the United States
and Europe. 1t is attempted to trace
the increase or decrease in strikes, which
causes are increasing in Importance and
which are decreasing.
The statistics of strikes in the United
States, the number of establishments and
the number of employees affected, the
number of strikers and wage loss show
that as regards absolute figures, strikes
are rapidly increasing in the United
States, also relatively as compared with
the growth of American industry.
The strike movement has assumed
large proportions in every important in
dustrial community of Europe. With
the exception of England. strikes are in
creasing in every country investigated.
The statistics indicate that the most inn
portant causes of strikes are wages and
hours of labor, but they show the more
pertinent fact that the development OF
strikes is more md more connected with
questions of the closed shop, union rules,
. recognition of union, union scales, APP
premiership and non-uniOn material.
These conditions in America contrasted
with Europe reveal that the great growth
in the secondary strike causes over the
primary" causes is practically unique
with the United States. 1t appears IN
no important European country.
Statistical comparisons, on the basis
of the number of unions and non-union
strikes, establishments and employees af-
fected by union and non-union strikes
show that on the basis of the number,
the effect is to check the increase as
trade unionism becomes older and more
experienced. On the basis of the num-
Der of employees and establishments at
fected by strikes, the effect is to accei-
crate the increases.
The character of the strike is being
changed by the union so that it is be-
coming of increasing widespread import
ance to both parties and the community.
Union strikes are much more successful
that non-uniOn strikes, but that union
strikes are not becoming more successful
even though unionism is being more and
more thoroughly organized.
The main object and value of study
of strike statistics lies in the light
thrown upon the development or move
ment of the strike. 1t acquaints the en-
ployer and the employe, whether union
or non-union, with the situation as it con-
fronts him. 1t also serves to form the
basis of intelligent regulation and beneh-
cent legislation when necessary.

Strange Injuries by Rails.

1t is we'll known that the tendency for
rails to creep on trestles is frequently
very strong A section crew of the Ter
minal railroad of st. Louis recently had
an unfortunate experience in removing a
rail from one of the elevated tracks of
that company.
The rails had been creeping and were
under heavy stress. One of them had
buckled sidewise, and as the spikes were
withdrawn it suddenly flew out of place,
breaking the limbs of three of the work
men, one of whom had both legs broken
just above the ankles. Still two other
members of the crew were injured so
seriously that they had to be taken to a
hospital.
A similar accident occurred on the
Union Pacific railroad some years ago.
In that case the rail sprang out of place,
striking the foreman and breaking his

Whistle Language of the Gomeras.

They have whistle language on Co
mera island, in the Canary archipelago.
They can whistle there as articulately
as q Bostonian can speak.
And since they can whistle very loud
and shrill. the Gomeras can converse
long way off A Gomera hunting a mile
from home can ask his wife what there
is for lunch, and if the menu does not
please him he can scold her and order
"a change as well as though he stood be-
side her.
The Gomeras talk in Il sing-song, and
their whistle language reproduces the
spoken ones intonations. For instance:
Children all over America have a
haunting cry
Hiss for shame. hiss for shame,
Everybody knows your name!
This cry is not sung. 1t is intoned.
And so the Gomeras intone their gut
tural language.
1t would be quite easy to whistle intel
ligibly the Hiss for Shame cry. So it
is quite easy to whistle the Gomera's

DEAN DENIES TROUBLE.
AGRICULTURIST SAYS MOLEHILLS
ARE MADE MOUNTAINS.
Has Given Up Nineteen Vacations for His
School-Attempt to Make Hear
ing Secret Fails.

MADISON, Wis, March 10.-Dean
w. A. Henry, head of the agricultural
college. had an opportunity to reply to
the charges against him before the uni
versity Investigating committee late Fri
day.
The dean asked for the exclusion of re-
porters on grounds that those under him
were as children to him, but the COM
mittee refused to grant his request. The
dean stated that no trouble existed in
the college that could not be easily RENE
died, that mountains were made OF mole
hills, and many an ancient trouble long
settled had been revived.
He emphatically denied he was jealous
of any professor and said that he was
glad to see his men go out and get pet
ter positions, as that reflected credit on
the dean and the college. There had
been inevitable clashes.
The dean denied that he told Prof +.
III. King to leave. He said King was
offered a position in the soils department
in the national bureau of agriculture at
a salary of $4,000 and the dean ADVISED
him to accept it.
There had been trouble between Prof.
Carlyle and Supt. Adams of the farm,
Dean Henry's nephew. Carlyle was IN
the horse department. but was offered an

Illinois. Carlyle was so long undecided
that the dean told him to make up his
mind one way or another. lie denied
the statement that he (Carlyle) said he or
Adams would have to go. Also, there
had been much trouble between Adams
and r. A. Moore professor of agronomy.
Dean Henry acknowledged one mis-
take--that he had attempted to color the
report of the banquet given Prof. Car
LYLE on leaving, but had done so IN ad-
vance, feeling that things might be SAID
at the banquet derOgatory OF the dean:
Dean Henry testified he had been win
the college for twenty-six years, that he
received a salary of $4,000 year and a
house He said he had given up nine
teen consecutive vacations to work for
the college without additional remunera-
ton.
Dean Henry on the stand today said
that students protests against Pror.
Otis were efforts to show appreciation
for Prof. Moore, who is popular.
OF Student Burr's case, the dean said
he got the young man job as farm
hand, but he quit because he heard the
farmer was an atheist. Later another
student sent to the farmer married a
daughter Of his employer and is now run
ming the farm.
On the Knapp matter, the dean said
Knapp was charged with a refusal to
comply with the rules of the university
with regard to securing acquisitions be-
fore making purchases. He would not
live within his means and the dean
thought his dismissal necessary. 1t was
the same in the Carlyle case.
