Peter Olson, of Alpha twp. is put
ting up his crop of tame hay, consis-
ting of timothy, bromis irmus, and
alfalfa. The yield is good, and ne
considers that it pays him better
than wild hay. In this connection it
may be stated that the question is
often asked by strangers why we
raise so little tame hay here. The
reason is because of so much idle
ground upon which the wild hay
NAV be had for a small cost. The
tame grasses will not be generally
grown until settlement and cultiva-
ton takes up more of the vacant
lands.

MAY RETURN TO WORK
RUMoR OF ORDER ISSUED TO
BRICKLAYERS.

A well-defined report was in circulation
In building trades circles this afternoon
that the striking bricklayers have been
ordered to return to work forthwith This
action is said to have been taken by the
officers Of the International Bricklayers'
Union. who are said to have become con-
WINGED that the present strike OF the brick
layers is violation Of their contract with
the master bricklayers.
The section of the agreement between the
masters and 1ourneymen which is said to
have been violated is as follows:
1T Is hereby agreed that the members Of
Bricklayers' Union. No. l. of Washington
ID. c.. will not. under any circums tances,
authorize or countenance a strike against
the Master Bricklayers' Association of
Washington, d. c., until every honorable
means of settlement has been exhausted
nor shall there be any sympathetic strikes
for other trades"
Master builders say If the report Is true
that the bricklayers have been ordered to
return to work it will mean the success of
the lockout and the complete resumption of
building operations in the District.
The report that the president of the In
ternational Bricklayers' Union had ordered
the members of the local union who are
out on sympathetic strike because of the
lockout of certain of the building trades, to
return to work caused some deSpondency
among the unionists who were assembled
about headquarters at CoStello's Hall to-
day. 1t has been commended that the brick
layers held the key of the lockout condi-
ton. and the organized workingmen had
hoped that their strike against the open
shop, as the movement. is termed would
be sustained by International headquarters
1t was said this afternoon that a joint
meeting of the contract committees of
the Master Bricklayersf Association and
the union of journeymen will be held this
evening. r.Hr ii .a:
