RHODE ISLAND
JOHMNYCAkE
NOW DOOMED

The census reports compiled by the
bureau OF industrial statistics snow some
very interesting data pertaining TO the
farm interests OF the state The returns
show that in towns In the vicinity ofProvi-
idence the farm acreage Is rapidly grow
ing less This is particularly go in North
Providence, where the acreage has de-
creased 600 acres In the past ten years
A proportiOnate decrease has been shown
In .he towns of Johnston and East Provi-
dence
This is due probably 10 the fact that
much OF the land has been broken up into
building lots or has been turned into
manufacturing sites.
The statistics also show that there has
been a greater decrease In grain products
than in former years. with Indications
that soon but little grain Will be grown In
this section
From the indications, that famous
Rhode Island dish made from Indian
meal the Rhode Island Johnny cake, will
be a thing Of the past also. as Indian
corn has been grown less In the past
decade than ever before.
In contrast to this. the valuation OF
livestock has been increasing. owing
chiefly 10 the increased value OF horses.
and the fact that better breeds OF cows
are being used 20 stock the farms.

WEAVERS ASKED
FOR INCREASE

According TO statements by the chair
man of the committee appointed recently
from the Blackstone Valley W.eavers'
association. written request has been
made by the weavers employed in the
Lonsdale mills for an increase of four
cents per cut and decrease Of five yards
per cut as compared with the present
wage scale.
II is stated that the request was for
warded in writing yesterday to the office
OF the Lonsdale company in this city; but
up to noon today no such request had
been received by mail or otherwise and
nothing was known OF any such contem-
plated action on the part OF the weavers.
II In claimed by persons who should
be In a position TO know that, while such
action by the weavers may have been a
natural sequence OF the increase granted
by Fall River manufacturers, there is a
political scheme behind II.
The statement Is made that Republi-
can politicians eagerly seized the oppor-
tunity offered by the developments In
Fall River to inspire the reported action
OF the Lonsdale fweavers. because OF the
fact that the peoples candidate for sem
ator is interested in those mills; and
this view OF the case was admitted this
afternoon by several Republicans TO be
extremely plausible. as they were aware
that the Republican machine had been
driven 10 the adoption OF any desperate
measures that might be considered neces-
sary TO accomplish its purposes.
The same gentlemen, however, thought
that In this case the suspected scheme
would prove a disastrous blunder
The request for an Increase Is said to
be Of four cents a cut The weavers now
receive 20 cents a cut OF 65 Yards and
the request is for 33 cents a cut OF so
yards
1t Is claimed by the weavers that. with
the existing conditions OF high prices for
food stuffs and wearing apparel, this re-
quest Is reasonable.
The committee In charge OF the matter
say they are not desirous OF strike
and sincerely hope for an early and salts
factory adjustment
