INDUSTRIAL PEACE PREVAILS.

May Day Found Little Unrest Among
workers OF America.
Labor conditions in Chicago and
throughout the entire ountry were more
peaceful May 1 than has been the case
in years. While May ! is cerebrated in
this country only by the socialists, it has
in past years been a day of industrial
unrest because many wage contracts ex-
pire at that time and strikes are common
before agreements are renewed.
In Chicago, a dispatch says, there is
not a strike OF consequence. In the
building industry, which gives employ
ment to $4,000, wage agreements in every
craft have been renewed. Nearly all
branches of the building trades have Sc
cured wage advances this year, either UNI
der new agreements which have been
made or through the terms of existing
contracts which run for another year.
While there was q general Stacking up
Of work reported q few weeks ago, which
made it necessary to reduce working
forces in some large plants. business IS
again reported brisk and labor is almost
as we'll employed as it. was a year ago.
Reports from various cities show SIM
| liar conditions prevailing throughout the
country. In New York labor, skilled and
unskilled, is well employed. The build
ing trades in that city are especially pros
porous. and there are only a few sporadic
strikes. In st. Louis the situation IS
better than in years. In Boston the only
serious break in the labor field is a strike
of Transfers, which has been in progress
for a month. In Philadelphia carpenters
and painters are after a wage increase,
but most Of the employers have already
conceded the demands. The machinists
in Pittsburg are on strike for increased

Judge Sweetland. in the Superior Court
at Providence, K. L., has decided that
Chief Yeoman Buenzle, who was barred
from q Newport amusement hall because
he wore the uniform Of the United States

proprietors Of such places may admit or
exclude whom they choose, and that the
man in naval uniform has nc special

strike Of ships, omcer..

The American Association of Masters,
Mates and Pilots has declared a general
strike of the first, second and third Off
GERS on all coastwise vessels sailing from
New York, to go into effect May 1, to
enforce their demands for an advance in
wages to 500, $50 and $50, respectively.
This strike took the form Of individual
designations, as the law requires them to
give notice Of intention to quit work.
Later the strike was called of in the case
of the Brunswick and Bull lines, which
agreed to pay the desired wages.

"How to kill standing weeds in fields
of grain without injuring the crop is
one of the gravest problems that con-
fronts the agriculturist of any coun-
try. It is impossible to cultivate them
out and, unless the farmer tramps
through his grain field, pulling up each
weed by hand-an impossible task
they must be left to grow with the
grain, drawing in the moisture, spread
ing rank leaves for the sunlis&t and
extracting nourishment from the soil"
So writes May Wood-Simons in the
Technical World Magazine, and goes
on to show the need for some invention
or discovery to eradicate the wild mus
tard and Canada thistle that are the
bane of the farmers life.
at can now be said with certainty
that such a discovery has been made"
she writes. 'The first successful ex-
perinents were attempted in June,
1906, by the Agricultural College of the
University Of Wisconsin. The work
has been carried on under the direc-
ton Of Professor r. A. Moore. It
should be recalled that the University
Of Wisconsin has already established IL
wide reputation for itself. The Bah
cock milk test which a saved more
to the farmers Of Wisconsin than the
cost Of the whole university from its
foundation to the present time, result
ed from experiments at the Wisconsin
Agricultural College. The for1naide-
hyde treatment for Amut in grain is
also one of the successful discoveries Of
the same institution. The discovery Of
a practical method ct Graduating
weeds will be Of at least twice the
value Of either Of these"

NEW O r

Weather conditions this week, as for
nearly a month past, have been a bar to
retail trade activity and to seasonabie
crop development throughout a wide area.
In jobbing and wholesale trade lines fill
ing in orders are in smaller volume than
expected, but business as a whole is good
for a between seasons period. There is
still n marked scarcity of goods needed
for promp delivery and much cross buy
ing between different jobbers and sections
of country. In manufacturing lines the
story is one of filled order books and Of
backward deliveries. Collections fmprov-
cd in spots and this tendency is apt to
gain with favorable weather.
The labor situation is one Of great
strength. Strikes are notably few for a
Nay ! period, and while railroad re-
trenchment makes for a larger supply Of
unskilled labor, the skilled branches are
very well employed.

In Rainy Day

The Rainy Day.
The day is cold, and dark and dreary;
1t rains, and the wind is never weary
The vine still clings to the moldering
wall,
But at every gust the dead leaves fall,
And the day is dark and dreary.
My life is cold, and dark, and dreary;
1t rains, and the vino is never weary;
My thoughts still cling to the moldering
Past,
But the hopes of youth fall thick in
the blast,
And the days are dark and dreary.
Be still, sad heart and cease repining.
Behind the clouds is the sun still shining;
Thy fate is the common fare of all,
Into each life some rain must fall,
Some days must be dark and dreary.

Surprised the Guests.

A former Duke of Norfolk was once
strangely embarrassed at the breakfast
table. A large house party had gath
cred together at Arundel castle, and
the duke was entertaining, as he could
SO well do. The butler entered the
breakfast room rather hurriedly and
evidently very excited. Your grace
may it please your grace" he said. try
ing to attract the attention of his ducal
master. What is it," May it please
your grace, Lord Thurlow has laid an
egg" You don't say So Yes, your
grace" An explanation was due his
startled guests. and the duke told how,
some time before, the daughter of Lord
Thurlow, in looking at the valuable
collection OF owls which the duke pos
sessed, stopped before one of the cages
and, looking at the blinking bird, said,
why, he's just like papa" The bird
was ever after called Lord Thurlow."
