INQUIRY IS BEGUN
IN CHESTER STRIKE

Union Troubles.
The Labor Department Is
Pleased With the Cen
eral Outlook.

Commissioner Of Labor Neil and
Chairman Knapp, OF the Interstate
+ Commerce Commission, win begin an
inquiry this afternoon under the Erd-
man act into the strike of electric rail-
way employees at Chester. Pa. The in
qu'ry is unique, in that il is the first
attempt that has yet been made bv
Government officials 70 compose a
strike on an electric line by virtue OF
the Erdman law. The Intervention OF
the Government officials is made posi-
ble from the fact that the electric line
is an Interstate one, crossing the line
between Pennsylvania and Delaware.
While the opening part OF the investi-
cation Will be ia Washington, it is likely
Dr. Nell and Mr.. Knapp will go 10
chester later en- The strike there has
assumed ugly proportions.
In general the labor conditions
throughout the country are as satisfac-
tory as could be expected, considering
the number of unemployed This is the

bOr, and OF officials of the American
Federation Of Labor.
Chester Greatest Trouble.
Various small strikes are now in prog
ress, but the chief one now existent is
the one at Chester. A troublesome stu
alton exists a Pittsburg. where the
street railroad employees are taking a
stand against threatened reductions Of
pay. Indications are now. however, that
this situation viii be adjusted. For the
ipresent the threatened reductions OF
pay by railroads nave been STAYED off.
DR.. Nell was able to bring about a
temporary adjustment between the en-
,ployes OF the Southern Railway. the
Atlantic Coast Line. and other Southern
lines that were on the point Of reduc-
ing wages.
one OF the features of the May-dav
labor situation that is satisfactory is
the mining situation II appears Ger
tain there will be no serious strike this
year. in either the bituminOus or the
anthracite fields.
Talk of Telegraph Strike.
The prospects are not entirely bright
in the telegraph world, and there is
much talk Of renewed trouble this sum-
Tner between the telegraph companies
and their employees. The President has
been asked 10 do what he can 10 avert
a strike. and he has asked representa-
tives Of the commercial telegraphers to
confer with DR.. NeiII
Secretary Morrison. o. the American
Federation Of Labor, in discussing May
day labor conditions. said the Chester
strike was the only big one in progress;
that efforts OF employers TO reduce
wages since the depression OF last year
had been prevented, and that the labor
unions were absolutely determined on
one thing, and that was that there
must he no reductions in wages. He
thought the AIay-day labor situation
fairly satisfactory.

1t requires great deal Of care to
make shade trees grow well in city

watered, and when they are young
they need protection against the man
who is inclined to make hltching posts
of them for his horse and against the
boy who gets rid of part of his animal
spirits by breaking the branches And
even trees that have had fairly Wig
orous growth feel the effect OF such
improvements as asphalt pavement,
curbstones and cement sidewalks.
They become discouraged and give up
the struggle. Among the modern con-
yenienccs that mean death for them
