GLASS WORKERS ON STRIKE.
Plan to Enforce the Adoption of the
New Wage Scale.

Cleveland, o., Dec. 21.-Advices re.
ceived at the headquarters of the Ma
tional Window Glass Workers here in
dictate that the members of the union
quit work generally throughout the
country in order to enforce the adop-
ton of the new wage scale, which
carries an increase of practically 25
per cent. Among the plants that are
said to have signed the new scale. In
addition to the American Window
Glass Company at Pittsburg, are those
at Kane, Pa, Shinglehouse. Pa, Ed.
red. Pa, and Fredonia, Kan.
President Faulkner of the Window
Glass Workers union said Saturday
that about 200 pots were in operation
Saturday compared with LOO Friday.
This means that about 500 skilled men
are at work.
A meeting of the manufacturers will
be held at Columbus, O., Tuesday to
take action relative to the new wage
scale.

SALARIES ILL TOO SMALL
SENATOR BOURNE OF OREGON
EXPLAINS POSITION.
Emoiument of President and
vice-President.

Washington, Dec. 21.--EXplainine
president and president, to $780,
600 and $4,000 respectively, Senator
Jonathan Bourne, Jr., of Oregon said
that, aside from all sentiment in the
matter. he Is OF opinion that the man
who is big enough to be president OF
the United States. the biggest corpo-
ration in the world, is certainly as big
in the business of government as a
railroad president or the manager OF
"a manufacturing combination. and
should be paid, as business PROPOSE
ton. what the demands of the position
indicate as fair compensation.
He declared that he also would
make the extra-hazardous risk of the
position basis for the justice of his
bill. He said that while the salary OF
to-day's business manager is meas
ured by the magnitude of the enter.
prise as well as by his fitness, the
presidents salary has never borne any
relatively adequate proportion to the
mental and physical work and worry
of the position, which are annually in
creasing.
The president is charged" he
added. with graver and greater re
sponsibilities than any other person
In the world. The cares, attentive
ness, alertness and elimination of per
sonal interest necessary for good serv
ice are a continuous and terrifying
strain on the mental and physical
vigOr OF the chief executive. The
tenure of life of the president since
and including the elder Harrison has
decreased perceptibly."
Senator Bourne called attention also
to the fact that the president o.
France receives $114,000 as a persona
salary and a like amount for executive
expenses. He said the comparison does
our country no credit when it is re
membered that our national wealth /!
estimated at $127,000,0 100000, while
that of France is estimated at onl!
$4,000. 100000.

Lower Prizes Next Year.


Lower premiums will be offered for
horticultural! exhibits next year This
Is the decision of the board OF direc
tors Of the Horticultural society
which met recently. The fund to be
applied to payment of prizes has
been reduced from $435 to 1915. This
is to be divided between the three dis.
tricts. and for each plate of apples
the limit of premium paid is fixed at
$l.OO. For sweepstakes prize. the
limit is placed at 500 1t was also
decided to reduce the appropriation
for the experimental station from
$500 to $500 per annum for each OF
the three paid stations. Charles City,
Williamsburg and Storm Lake are to
be the locations for experimental
work in 1909, and at each of these
places there will be extensive work
done in the production of new varie.
ties of apples, peaches, pears and
plums. The experimental station at
New Sharon has been discontinued
1t was also decided to make a spe-
cialty next year Of the Stayman Wine
Sap apple to take the place of the
Ben Davis. The new apple has proven
of more commercial value than any
other variety. Secretary Greene has
been instructed to Issue more litera
ture from his circulating library. He
has been allowed $3.50 for this pur.
pose. The members of the board Ut
directors. many of them. have gone
to Council Bluffs and Omaha, where

viii Ask for Mere Land.

WIN HSN IOI NSTC 6duOs
Des Moines.--Among other things
to be asked of the next legislature
by the board of control will he the
purchase of about fifteen thousand
acres of land to be divided between
the state institutions for farming
purposes. This recommendation is
made by the board in it's annual re-
port now in the hands OF the printer.
Speaking of the matter, John Cow
ME, member of the board. said:
There is deplorable lack of farm
Ing land available for growing grain
and vegetable products at each of
our state institutions. When these
places were purchased by the state
there was nothing said about raising
corn or potatoes, and now we do not
have enough ground to produce the
grain and necessary vegetables for
our own use. For instance, we are
buying thousands Of bushels of corn
which we should raise Corn costs
US 80 cents per bushel, and without
hired labor we could at least raise
all we need.
"The state now owns 7,133 acres OF
land divided among the fifteen Iowa
institutions. or an average of ATS
acres to each. There is needed at
least 1910 acres, or two acres for
each inmate, in place of one half acre
for each inmate, as at present l call
especial attention to the reform in
situations, and more particularly to
Eldora
while there on my last trip
talked with one of the worst of the
incorrigible boys, and he said he
wanted to work There was none
where he could be trusted, but finally
we found place for him driving one
OF the teams. Late reports from tina,
boy are to the effect that his conduct
has improved SO per cent This is
true with the average inmate of the
state reformatories. If we could
farm them out we would certainly &C
complish better results. In Eldors
there are $50 boys who want farm
work. We have $40 acres there t.
cultivate. but not nearly enough tt
take care of the $50 boys"

Strengthen Food Laws.


Dairy and Food Commissioners H.
R. Wright. C. F. Curtiss of Ames and
S. B. Packard of Marshalltown, as a
committee for pure food legislation.
have arranged for two new measures
to be introduced in the next legisla-
ture. While the Iowa laws have been
perfect on the subject of pure food,
the committee finds that one improve
ment can be made by having all pack
ages of food stuffs marked plainly
with the exact weight of the pack
age. Another recommendation to be
made is that the fine for violation of
the dairy and food laws be changed
from $1.o0, as, the minimum, and 800
as the limit. to $25 as the minimum
and $500 as the extreme penalty. It
is said that fines imposed in ma
jority Of cases last year did not ex-
coed $1.00. and as this was fixed by
statute it could not be changed.
