The strike in the International PAPER
Co mills at Bellows Falls is on Repre-

N. Y, Nov. and voted to give up the
fight. In this strike the union has been
trimmed to q ztandstill. In two other
strikes in the Bellows Falls plant, one In
1902 when the mill was down from June
u to 2S. and the other last year begin
ming in June. the union was successful,
last year wholly so, and in 1902 partially.
In 1902, the difficulty was over wages and
unionizing the mill. The wage scale was
arranged satisfactorily but the mill was
not unionized.
Monday of last week q large number OF
the former employees Of the company ap-
piled for work, coming as individuals and
not as members Of a union. As many
men as could be used were set to work.

In other words the tour workers now
work IL and Is hours as they used to do,
but are paid for each hour the same rate,
less the cut, that they were paid per hour
prior to the strike. So the pay for the
four and five hours over the eight hours
is in the nature of pay for over time.
When the situation is sized up, the
union has lost about all it gained in the
past two years, has lost good deal Of

The Food for Poultry IN Winter.

Much time and money have been spent
In what seems the almost vain endeavor
to make hens produce eggs in cold wealth
er. 1t requires but little experience with
poultry to learn the fact that, under
ordinary circumstances, hens cannot pro-
dues as many eggs in winter as in sum-
'mer. Summer is the natural time for the
laying Of eggs, and in order to increase
winter production there must be repro
duced for the fowls Is nearly as possible
the conditions that exist in summer.
Mrs John J. Layzell Of Brandon, VT,
has evidently succeeded In doing this
with her flock. She says: 81 have been
using Pages Perfected Poultry Food for
the last three winters, and 1 find it the
best poultry food on the market. / have
tried several different kinds, but I got NO
eggs until began to use this food

food and the best ways Of using it,
