ELECTRICAL WORKERS CONTRO
VERSY.

The controversy of the Brotherhood
of Electrical Workers. which has gained
national notoriety. seems to be as com
plicated as ever to one not within the
ranks of the electrical workers.
The American Federation of Labor
seems to have stepped entirely outside
its jurisdiction in the matter when it
even ventured to dictate to one faction
what it should do. The difficulties of
any international union should be set
tied by that union, and it alone. Ad
vice from the \. F. of L. would, no
doubt have been accepted. but when
it steps in and commands a certain
section of an international union that
it must obey the dictates of a set of
officers that seems to the general mem
bership unfit to hold the positions Of
trust they are in it certainly oversteps
its authority.
At the Denver convention the spirit
of the A. f. of /. seemed to be to oh
tain as many new members as possible
in the local unions. and to make a more
united front, sent out instructions to
all local unions TO Join the central bod
les, and the Structural Building Trades
or suffer the loss of their charter
/ Now they are trying to tear down
what we have been endeavoring To
build up for SO long a time. The \. F.
/ of L. now issues instruction that unless
the central bodies unseat the militant
faction of the electrical workers, and
/ by the way, as far as this city is con
cerned. one of the best local unions in
the trades union movement, we stand
suspended from the \. F. of l.. and the
charter revoked
1t is pleasing indeed to see the cen.
trail bodies throughout the century re
/ fuse to be dragged into this trouble be
/ tween the warning factions, and the \
F. of 1. will realize that they have
made serious mistake when it stopped
to dictate to members of an interna-
tional union what they must do The
electrical workers are capable and
brainy enough to take care of their OWL
internal troubles, and should be left
alone. Advice is always acceptable, and
undoubtedly would have been carefully
considered had not the A. F. of L. ar.
rogantly, through some officious indi
vidual, tried to tell an international
union that il must not be watchful oi
the upbuilding of its own organization
1t is to be hoped that this factiona
/ fight will soon be settled and no other
of its kind arise. The A. F of L. should
place every central union whose char
ter it has revoked. in good standing
and instead of provoking strife and
discomfort among the ranks, should use
every effort in its power to promote
harmony and fellowship, to upbuild. moi
to tear down.
Organized labor has rough roads en-
ough in its fight for the betterment
of the existing conditions without lay
ing in its own path obstacles that ar,
hard to surmount Let us try for solid
arity and unity, above all else-Spo

FLORIDA GROWERS WOULD
WORK WITH EXCHANGE

NJ. E. Gillett. general manager of the
r urida Citrus exchange, has written
President II. c. Gagley, Of the Georgia
Fruit exchange, suggesting cooperation
between his organization. the pineapple
growers of Florida. and the peach grow
ers of Georgia. Mr.. Gillett's letter will
be considered by the trustees and ex-
ecutive committeeman of the exchange
when they meet here Wednesday.
Mr.. Ginett says that his organization
through commission houses. and has
adopted the plan of the California Fruit
exchange. which has it's own selling
agents. He has employed r. p Burton.
formerly OF the California exchange. as
sales manager.
Mr. Gillett says that his selling agents
would probably be idle during the time
that the Georgia peaches are shipped,
and could sell them for the Georgia grow
ers. Such an arrangement as this would
not affect the organization of the Geor-
gia exchange, or change its present meth
cd of distribution. Mr.. Gillett says that
by cooperation the Georgia and Florida
growers could greatly reduce the cost OF
marketing.
The exchange trustees and committee
men will consider this proposition tomor-
row in general way. The meeting will
be an important one. The finacial report
of the year will be read, and a sugges-
ton to increase the length of member
ships from one to three years, and re-
duce the number of commission houses
representing the exchange, will be coz
sidered.

PEANrrs AND CHuFAs.
sDRGHUM AND MISCELLANEOUS
CROPS.

Sorghum Is probably another overesu-
mated food for grazing hogs, and. IN the
writer's Judgment cannot be utilized TO
much advantage and is not to be COM
pared to some other crops which might be
grown with profit in its place
The feeding value OF corn when COM
bIned with cowpeas was brought out nice
81 in an experiment made In Alabama
where the grain alone made a daily gain
Of IS pound: whereas, hogs on corn and
eowpeas pasture gained 81 pound per
head per day, OF more than twice as much
as on the corn alone. Thus. q good cow
pea pasture should more than replace half
the grain ordinarily fed
Pumpkins and apples have not very
high feeding value for hogs, though the
pumpkins are worth considerably more
than the apples AS by-products going to
waste on the farm they could be used to
advantage. but they viii not add much to
the body weight of the animal consuming
them unless fed with rich grain ration.
There Is often much inquiry as TO the
feeding value OF various forms OF roots,
particularly sugar beets. These do not
seem TO be worth much as food for hogs.
For insance. at the Montana station.
where grain alone was fed. the gain was
10 pounds: with grain and roots LII
pounds In comparative trials to test the
value Of turnips. mangles. forage beets,
etc, the gain In every instance was I'M
der one pound. Like pumpkins and ap-
pies. roots may be occasionally utilized,
but as a daily diet for hogs they do not
possess a high feeding value. and their
place could be taken to advantage by
Atlanta semi-weekly journal. (Atlanta, Ga.) 1898-1920, 1909-09-10
The Food Value of Various Crops for Hogs

At the Arkansas station peanuts were
grazed ami the daily gain was 81 pound
on an estimated yield OF 80 bushels per
acre: on ehufas the gain was IS of a
pound. on an estimated yield OF Isl bush
els per acre: on corn 81 pound. Accord
inEgto these figures an acre OF peanuts
would make l.s52 pounds Of pOrk: and an
acre OF chUfas So pounds. and an acre OF
corn 80 pounds. At the Alabama station
peanuts with a half grain ration gave a
daily gain OF 80 pound per head per day;
peanuts alone, Al pound; chufas and
half grain ration LIS pound. and grain
alone. I.Ss pound.
These figures all tend 20 show the i'm
portance OF grazing crops and the fact
that they can be made to take the place
OF a large part OF the grain now fed. II
IS proper to say that the Arkansas figures
On peanuts seem remarkably high, for an
acre OF alfalfa under most favorable con-
ditions is only credited with producing
Leo pounds OF pork in the course OF a
year. Peanuts and chufss do not make a
satisfactory quality OF pork. but when
limited amount Of corn or other flesh
hardening grain Is fed daily a fine. firm
quality OF pork Is obtained at a low cost.
Better results viii follow where high
grade animals are used. In the peanut
region Il is doubtful IL the farmer who
can obtain Is 20 leo bushels per acre and
from TO cents per pound for the cured
nuts. can afford 20 utilize them for the
purpose OF grazing hogs. even where he is
curing fancy hams. but soy beans and
covpeas make excellent substitutes. and
OF course the hogs will gain a good deal
Oh the nuts which are overlooked by the
harvest hands.

New Orleans is Not
Surprised by Report

NEW ORLEANS, Sept. S.--With a re-
port Of 377, 552 bales, the government CEN
sus bureaus statement on the amount
Of cotton ginned up to September l. was
just about what had been expected by
the trade and at the start failed to af-
feet the market much one way or the
other.
While the government census bureaus
report of S77,559 bales ginned up TO Sep
TENDER / was construed as slightly bull
ish, the figures were about what had
been expected by the local trade Follow
ing the posting of the report, the mar
ket opened 10 points UP, but the advance
over yesterdays close was attributed
more to heavy spot sales at Liverpool
than TO the report on ginnings.

UNDER BRITISH FLAG
Siam Codes $1,000 Square Miles Of
Territory to the Empire


Although many Englishmen are trying to con-
vince themselves that they are unable to shield
from invasion and conquest even the British
Isles, the process Of extending their transmarine
dominions Is uninterrupted. We do not refer to
any merely structural change like that which
has transformed the separate colonies in South
Africa into a federation What We now have in
mind is an addition of territory which hitherto
has been alien. but by the acquisition OF which
the scope Of Britain's sway in farther India is
enlarged to a considerable extent.
The British foreign office has just issued as
a parliamentary paper the text OF the treaty
signed at Bangkok on March 10 by representa-
tives OF Great Britain ana Siam. together with
an explanatory memorandum. The annexed ter
ritory is Of Importance not only in respect OF
geographical and strategical situation, but also
in point OF area and population. 1t stretches
across the Malay peninsula Immediately to the
north of the so-calIed Straits Settlements, which
already constitute a British protectOrate; il com
prises some Is 900 square miles and about $50 One
inhabitants. The coded territory includes the
native states of Kelantan, Trengganu, KedGh,
and Perils. together with the fine harbor OF
Langkawi. which is expected TO prove a useful
station for eoaling and repairing on the trade
route to the Far East.
