Sammel Gompers Says:
ri SHOULD NOT GO TO JAIL"
ABOUT TO LEAVE COUNTRY LABO RLEADER DECLARES HIS
POSITION AND TELLS RECENT INTERVIEW
TAFT-BOYCOTT QUESTION ENDED TALK-UNIONS
CONTINUE "HARDER."
BY ellison Gardner.

WASHINGTON, d. c., May 81.
~ am preparing to sail on June
2 + for a three-month trip to vari-
GUS European countries, where 1
go as the representative of or
ganized labor. I shall then return
ready to go either to Jail or to the
national convention of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor"
Thus spoke President Sam Com
pers of the A. F. of L. to your cor
respondent.
But" Mrs. Gompers was asked,
"you are in no danger of going to
Jail, are your"
81 don't see why should go to
JAIL" he replied. 81 haven't COM
mitted any crime, nor have 1 vio-
lated any of the laws of the coun-
try. / have only exercised my
rights as an American citizen in
everything I have ever done or
said or written in regard to the
Bucks Stove & Range Co. contro-
versy, and all the subsequent pro-
ceedings connected Herewith. I
have simply dared to have an opin-
ion, and to discuss and explain it,
and all I have done and said has
been in the interest of labor. I
have cause to serve and 1 am 60
ing to serve it."
When asked regarding his re-
cent conference with President
Taft, and for his opinion as to the
attitude of the president toward the
labor interests of the country,
President Gompers said:
"My interview with the presi-
dent lasted for two hours, and
was very satisfactory and pleas
ant one in general way. We dis
cussed several matters affecting
labor, and such labor legislation as
l hope we will some time be able
to secure. AS soon as we found
the president was not in accord
with our organization regarding
the question of the boycott and its
outcome, we made no further eff
fort to prolong the interview.
while the American Federation
OF Labor was opposed to the cleo
tion of Mr.. Taft to the presidency
and of many others to congress
last fall, we will now go along
with the president and work with
him SO far as we can. Where we
differ with him we will continue to
differ, but will hold on in the hope
that he win see the justice of our
position and be ready to help US
secure desirable legislation. We
base our hopes of his help sooner
or later as much upon what he did
not say as what he did say, for he
promised to give to the questions
submitted to him his careful study
and consideration. And SO we
are ready to take him at his word,
and wait for further develop
ments.
Cur opposition to many leading
members of congress, of whom
Speaker Cannon is the chief trust
defender, is as strong as ever, and
we shall work as hard to defeat
them in the elections of the future
as we have In any of the elections
OF the past--and harder. Our ex-

LONDON, May 27.-The bally
American news butcher that they
put on English trains not so very
long ago can no longer put it over
Johnny Bull.
Little by little they've shorn the
newsie of his old-time Yankee
born CRAFTS. He no longer can sell
overripe fruit, his newspapers now
command only the market prices
and he is prohibited from selling
his famous risque books, which
when opened to be read by the
guileless traveller prove to be not
risques at all.
This is the final blow-they've
made him date his sandwiches.
Pity the poor news butcher.

A Big Surprise

Perhaps the greatest surprise OF
the Virginia election was the vote OF
Washington county. For some years
this county has been rolling up a re-
publican majority of two or three
hundred, and has been known to &c
republican by four hundred or more.
Tuesday il went democratic. Judge
Mann's majority in the couny Is
about fifty, while the two democrat
ic candidates for the Legislature are
elected by about the same majority.
including Bristol city, Judge Mann S
mabjority is 27S. while the MAORI
ties OF the democratic legislative can
didates are 81 and l56.
This reduces the republican mem
berS CT the house OF delegates by
one. Ii has been reported that the
republicans have gained two menu
berS of the house, but IL was not
known then that the republican
member from Bristol city and Wash
ington county had been defeated.
Complete returns will probably
show that the republicans have made
no gain in the house OF deltgates.
There are two reasons for the re-
suit in Washington county. One is
the growth of Democratic sentiment,
which is rather general in the
Ninth district Another is that many
republicans are weary of bossism
During the campaign republican
newspapers and spellbinders had
much to say about democratic boss
ism in Virginia but no fact is better
known than that the dictatorship es-
tablished by republican federal Office
holders in Virginia is absolute The
republican legislative ticket in
Washington county was one man
ticket, nominated by one man con-
vention, and it went down in defeat
in county that has been safely re-

HOW TO TRIM THEM

The Roanoke Times commenting
on an editorial which appeared I'm
our columns last issue, on Trim
ming Apple Trees" gives several
valuable hints as to how il ought to
be done. We give below the Edito-
rial of the Times in full:
This may seem rosaic subject,
but il is an altogether important
one. Two thirds OF the apple or
chards planted for domestic use are
allowed to fall into disuse and worth
lessness, simply because they are
not trimmed.
Don't think that just nybody
knows how to trim or prune tree,
has a world OF meaning. On the
contrary, there is no work on the
farm that calls for more earnest
thought and intelligence, and We:
the average man knows but little
about the business.
Let US offer some suggestions
anent tree trimming, for the benefit
of people who live in the city, who
have not tho time TO acquire the art
for the trimming of their trees.
Never attempt TO trim tree un-
til perspective view is taken OF it
from all sides, the purpose being
TO trim it 10 we'll balanced proper
tIons. Saw or cut Off all lower
limbs so that the sun can have free
access around the roots. If the
tree is in IA garden, trimming il thus
admits of cuItivating around and un-
der ii. Trim Off the ends of all
down hanging limbs. Sap will 20
up limb, but it will not go down.
Trim the tree with the idea or grow
ing all limbs upward.
Don't be afraid of injuring your
tree by too much trimming. If the
limbs are too numerous the inner
limbs will not bear fruit. Cut out
the limbs which cross or lap over
another. Trim with the idea of al
lowing the suns rays to penetrate to
all parts OF the tree.
mo set of rules can be laid down
for the business. With these few
rules i'm mind, apply common sense.
Keep the tree properly proportional
in the cutting or trimming. Cut
out the old wood, leaving the young
vigorous shoots. After the tree l.
trimmed, take hand scraper OF
some XIII d and thoroughly scrape of
the old bark which will be found
peeling off. 1t is under this rough
bark that the insects harbor through
the winter and come out i'm the
spring 10 infest the fruit.
There is nothing that gives SC
much i'm return rs attention 10 fruit
trees. In fact, good fruit cannot be
raised in this country any longer
without constant attention. But
the average man will plant fruit
tree much as he would set IA post,
without ever giving the tree atten-
ton, and yet he is surprised that
his trees will not yield fruit.
Fruit trees demand cultivation,
and Ii not cultivated will amount 10
but little. Fruit trees will NOT
thrive in n yard having sod. They
should be grown in the garden, and
trimmed in manner that will per-
init of the freest cultivation of the
soil beneath. "
