President of the Freshmen.

George L. Berry, the newly elected
president of the International Printing
Freshmen and Assistants union, is a
young man who has yet to win his
spurs as leader in international IN
ionism, and the probabilities are that
be will win them. He is modest and
unassuming, yet shows evidences of
character, temperament and mental
powers which. when called upon, must
quickly develop the qualities of inteIli-
gent and courageous, though conserva-
tive, leadership. President Berry
home is in San Francisco, where, as
secretary and business representative
of Printing Pressmen's union No, "a,
he has made a record that has won
for him the applause of pressmen ev-
erywhere and that preceded his ap-
pearance in the convention, where he
received the highest honor within the
gift of the international union.

The Berry Patch,

Beware of the red rust i'll the black
cap or blackberry patch. When it ap-
pears at once dig out and burn the in.
fected plant.
Remove the old raspberry canes as
soon as they have fruited; also remove
weak, superf1uous new ones. Burn all
such cuttings at once.
Continue to cultivate and hoe the
strawberry plants set last spring.
When enough runners are secured in
each row, cut off all others just as If
they were weeds.
Beware Of exposing blackberries to
the sun after they are picked. Sun
light soon turns the black, shiny fruit
to a rusty. dull, unpleasant looking
red. Get the berries into packing shed
or crate as soon as possible and then
into a cool cellar until shipping time.

Peonage In Lumber Camps.


The grand jury in the United States
court for the southern district of Vir-
ginia has returned indictments for
peOnage against the William E. Ritter
Lumber company of Maben, Wyoming
county, and two superintendent and
three guards of the company. The
charge is conspiracy, the penalty for
which is a fine of from $1,000 to $1O,-
600 and Imprisonment for not. more
than two years. Other peonage in
dictments are expected The matter
was first brought to the attention of
the state officials by Secretary of State
Root. who was in correspondence with
Governor Dawson on the subject last
winter. The matter was taken before
the department of state by the Italian
minister at Washington. Governor
Dawson had an Investigation made
and presented a special report to the
state legislature on this subject, but
that body took no cognizance of it. It
is alleged that foreign laborers are
brought into the state and worked in
the lumber camps under guard until
their transportation has been repaid
to the company.

The cahhaoe Crop.

A considerable portion of the cab
bage crop is handled in bulk. When
forwarded by carload or shiplOad the
heads are cut from the stalks with a
heavy knife or light Ratchet and all the
outer leaves left on. When prepared
for market they are dressed up by re-
moving the outer unbleached leaves.
Cabbages are often shipped in venti-
lated or slat barrels. Tight barrels
keep them too warm and may cause
rotting. BY far the best carrier for
shipping cabbage is the barrel size
crate. This carries the heads securely,
packs in well on board train or boat
and shows the quality Of the stuff
when arriving in market. The heads
should be packed in the crates care
fully by hand, so that the carriers will
not be slack when received by the

STRIKES AND BENEFITS.
Views of Treasurer Lennon, A. F. OF

views or treasurer Lennon A. T. OF
l., on Important Labor Questions.
John 3. Lennon, treasurer of the
American federation and also score
tary-treasurer Of the JOurneymen Tai
lors' Union of America. has just placed
before the members of the latter or
ganizatiou some interesting opinions on
the questions of strikes and benefits.
Mr.. Lennon has been secretary treas
urer of the tailors' organization for
twenty-five years, and his oppOrtuni-
ties for observation at close range have
been unlimited. writes Joseph r. Buch-
anan in New York Journal
In cases of strikes or lOckOuts in
volving but one store or only a few
journeymen, Mr. Lennon says, it is a
mistake to permit the displaced work
men TO take employment in other
stores in the town or to go to other
towns.
Where a union has had the power and
the courage to say, NO, you cannot
leave our city, nor can you accept work
in any other store until this contest is
settled, they have in nearly all cases
won, according to Mr.. Lennon But if
the strikers leave town or accept work
in other stores, the result is almost as
bad as if they went scabbing, he says,
and under such circumstances success
is practically impossible.
Mr.. Lennon also thinks it is a mis-
take for local unions to pay or attempt
to pay strike benefits He holds that
the benefit paid by the national union
is sufficient. He says that the members
who strike because they are guaranteed
the combined benefits of national and
local organizations do not make good
strikers. When the local treasures are
exhausted, which sometimes is an
early result of the special demands
made upon them, such strikers become
disgruntled and weak kneed.
To clinch the point under both Of
these heads, Mr. Lennon suggests that
if any one doubts his assertions he
should study the history of the worlds
labor struggles.
They will discover that the greatest
battles of labor have been made by
those who had scarcely enough from
day to day to keep them alive"

Two Fine Strawberries.

One Of the best of the newer straw
berries is the Senator Dunlap, says an
Ohio man in American CUltiyatOr. 1t
is very early kind and keeps in bear
ing long enough to be classed also as
a midseason variety. 1t is as reliable
and productive as the Haverland and
has a good color and pleasant favor.
The Dunlap and a good late kind like
the Granville make a fine team for the
strawberry grower. An important
practical point is to put on straw
enough for mulch and winter protee-
ton to last until the bearing season
and keep the berries clean.

they are kept constantly saturated with

living in the districts where timber is

The great difficulty is that q great

altogether too soon. Their first attacks
are fierce and spirited enough, but
they soon grow Indifferent and aban-

is that weeds are of a great many d1f-
