LABOR TROUBLES
Coming Elections Cause Of

POLITICAL AGlTATORS BUSY
Socialist Candidates Consider Strike

POLITICAL AGlTATORS BUSY

NEW YORK. April 27,-The Herald
today prints the following interview
which its correspondent in Paris say,
he secured with Minister of the Inter.
ion Clemenceau. relative to the internal
situation in France.
"The actual disturbance agong the
working classes" said the minister. "are
due TO a variety of causes upon which
the light will ultimately shed, for we
must at once seek to determine the re-
sponsibility for this movement, while
ignoring the source OF certain subsidies
which have been distributed to the
strikers.
There is no doubt that the near ap.
proach of the general election has a pre-.
! ponderating influence on the propaganda
and the continuance of the movement
/ for on one side certain socialist candi-
dates consider strike necessary to theil
election and they are endeavoring tc
prolong the agitation until May six
''On the other hand certain reactionary
groups and publications devote them
selves to the explorations and eXag-
geration Of the fears for a social reyo-
luton with the object OF provoking a
counter movement from the Panic stric-
ken populace. but the reactionaries
themselves are now beginning to under
stand that in view OF the strong anar-
chistic element which exists, they are
playing dangerous game, and they are
changing their tactics fearing that a
too widespread movement would de-
feat their own hopes and ends. They
have sown the seeds of alarm and this
is turning the tide against them.
"As far as any danger of the actual
possibility OF a social revolution is con-
cenred this fear is absolutely chimerical,
for if there exists in our country as
elsewhere some hundreds of thousand.
Of men in latent and permanent revolt
against established social order there
also exists several millions of people in
terested in the maintenance of the So
cal edifce.
Its armor therefore is not in danger
and the duty of a government whatever
its policy may be- is to defend the nation
by insuring order in the streets and
to enforce the respect for individual
property at liberty, and you may be GER
tain that in this case the authoritie,
will not fail in their duty. After the
election this ofervescence will subsidr
and we will then have to face these
social problems. which call for urgent
study as to the best means of finding
their solution This will be the work.
which the new parliament will have to
face"

ARRIVES HOME.
F. J. Taylor, and Family Return From
San Francisco after Irving Experience

+. J. Taylor, arrived in Astoria last
night accompanied by his wife and two
daughters, after passing through the
earthquake and fire in San Francisco
He states that he is more than glad to
once more get back to Astoria and the
land where earthquakes never come.
During the catastrophe Mr.. Taylor and
family were stopping at a house Of
friends on the corner of Pine and Tay-
lor streets. The earthquake damaged
the house to some extent, but it would
have been saved from destruction mad
not the flames took it. After the house
burned Mr. Taylor and family walked
the streets all Wednesday night, in COM
mon with the thousands of other panic
at'ickenl and homeless people. "ThG
flames were beautiful but terrifying. as
every minute we expected the fire would
break out around u.s." said Mr., Taylor.
In the morning we found the house Of
friend on Sacramento street ont -dc
of the burned district, and here we re-
mained until Saturday. when wc left

at greatly reduced message rates over
the largest company's wires.
The principal reason given by these
two men why the phone has become
SO popular is that the most progressive
farmers desire to be kept in touch with
city markets SO as to take advantage
of shortages of supply, advances in
price, etc. Often single shipment to
the right market at the right time has
cleared enough to pay the years tele-
phone bill several times over Look
ed at in this light the phone is con-
s1dered necessary economy, not a
needless expense. Another reason is
that repairs for machines can often be
secured in a fraction of the time for
merly needed. This has been found
specially useful at harvest when delays
due to breakdown are often exceed
ing1y costly. In many other ways the
instrument is time saver, as in order
ing supplies from town. 1t also keeps
the possessor in touch with the out
side world in inclement weather and
when roads are bad. In one instance
a telephone message warned family
Of an approaching hurricane just in
time to allow escape, for the house in
which they were was wrecked. In
these and thousand minor ways the
telephone is looked upon by the farm
er as of as much Importance to his
business as silos, binders, separators,
or any other time or labor saving appa-
ratus on the farm.

Economy Of the Farm Telephone,

A correspondent of the American
Agriculturist sets forth some of the
advantages of farm telephones. They
are not so common in Florida as in
many other farming Districts Yet it
is probably true that they would be
quite as useful here, as in any other
state
On a recent visit to my home town |
was greatly impressed by the growth of
interest in telephones. When I lived
there only two lines extended to neigh
boring towns; now almost every village
in the country has it's quota of phones
outside the town and those in the larg-
est village there are now several hun
dred farmers on company lines, be-
sides scores on lines of their own.
In conversation with the local man
ager of the company learned that the
principal reason for this increase is
the liberal contract made by the COM
pany to farmers The company agrees
to build the line, charge a nominal an
nual rental, give long distance service
at reduced rates, and permit the lessee,
any of his employees, or any member of
his family to use any other phone con-
nected with the office without extra
charge for the message On the other
hand it owns both lines and instru-
ments. In one instance, at least, where
the line is owned privately, an owner
told me four farmers bought the whole
equipment among them and secured
privilege of long distance connection

curing IN the tiny SchOOlrOOm. A
perfect rattle of clips and thuds from
unique weapon cut and battered
the head of Mr. Shillaber, while he
veanly tried to shake off his adver-
sary.
At last he sank down, grooming for
mercy, Mr.. Pepper was not in mer-
ciful mood. Posing himself on one
stockinged foot, he deliberately and
with violence kicked Ichabod square
1y in the point of the jaw with very
hard, pointed and well-polished boot
tip. Mr. Shil1aber lay still.
Mr. Pepper picked up his tall hat,
it was ruin. Then he put on his
shoe. "Come, Rosemary" he said
coolly. "I'll drag this rascal out and
lay him on the grass. Then, if you're
ready we'll take Our drive. Scared
you, didn't he? Well, you're all right
now. Bless me! Who drew that
picture?"
Stepping to the board, he erased
the direful tracings with an angry
scowl, kicked his di1apidated tile I'm
der desk, grabbed the unconscious
1chabod by the collar and hauled him
ruthlessly outside with an amazing
display Of strength
"My team is down by the corner"
he announced. "I'll have to drive
bareheaded II guess I won't wear
that style of hat any more, and I'm
sick Of these shoes. Come on!'
But Rosemary stood still, with her
hands over her eyes,
Mr. Pepper pulled them down, ele-
waited himself on his toes and kissed
away her tears.
"Ain't I big enough for you as I am,
Rosemary" he murmured with a
culver in his voice. "Let's quit
these improvements and be natural"
The girl held him close. you're
big enough for any woman, and
wouldn't have you an inch taller"
she whispered.
"Say that again." cried Mr.. Pepper
delightedly. "Say that again, Rose

was quite invariably successful.
But Rosemary was outside ordinary
methods of requirement, and but for
the inspiration of that young gentle
man "who laughs at locksmiths," the
storekeeper would have been in de-
spair.
Many times had the object of his
alteration visited the store, but words,
so ready with others, failed him be-
fore the steady gray eyes gazing
down into his own with a half won
dering look as if in astonishment at
his diminutiveness. Pepper had never
felt so small His size was no draw
back in dealing with men; he con-
sidered himself, by the equa1izing
power of Nature, as big as anyone.
The new sensation worried him, and
worry to Mr.. Pepper was prelimi-
nary to achievement.
Therefore, he resolved upon a
stroke of boldness, and when next
Rosemary peered through the mail

Here the box slipped, as Mr.. Pep
per made convulsive effort to finish
his speech, and he slid down with a
gasp of CONSERVATION.
The girl had shot an angry look in
the anxious face at the first words.
Then she checked laugh. Now her
cheeks were crimson and her lashes
dropped Behind the grotesque burn
ed the sincere Something pitiful and
far away, yet near and sweet, had
confronted her in that forlorn Wis

a second she felt like crying. But
she smiled instead wide, gracious

Rosemary grabbed the daily print
and fled with a blazing countenance
as Mrs. Deacon Raggett opened the
back door with a squeak.
Mr. Pepper eyed the fleeing vision
in rapturous silence and filled Mrs.
Raggett's pail with butter instead Of

Then came the day when chastise-
ment fell upon "Tony" Shillaber
Tony was the star artist of the school
and his we'll known touch was ap-
pretended without a moments de-
lay.
1t was we'll done, that ridiculous
caricature upon the blackboard The
hogging administered to the reckless
and ambitious author of the sketch
was very we'll done, also-albeit
Anthony was one of the larger boys
and fighter. ~
His aspect, when Rosemary's final
hold relaxed, was not indicative alone
of bruises and rent apparel. There
were more than suggestions of gore.
There was also a tomb-like hush over
the entire school.
Rosemary dismissed it in an awful
voice; glaring at the clock. Only
quarter past two of the afternoon,
but much had been crowded into ff-
teen minutes-su to render the
rest of the session an educational
farce The teacher knew it. The
children knew it. They filed out
into the soft August day on tiptoe.
All but Tony, who stamped and swore
vengeance through his teeth, at safe
distance.
Alone, Rosemary glowered in hor-
ror at the representation on the
blackboard The chalky eyes stared
back in mockery. Wilton and she

alton of their innocent efforts for a
