very good work but it really has
nothing to do in the matter of lineage.
When we take scions from one tree
and graft them on to another we
simply perpetuate the original. The
new tree is identical with the old one
and if it were not, our efforts would
be absolute failures. Mr.. Stark uses
the right term when he says that they
do their p1opagating from ''select
strains.' I have been asked to furnish
the right word to use if we discard
the word pedigree in such cases. l
can not do that for the simple reason
| know of no word that will express
what we intend. "Select strains as
used by Mr.. Stark exactly expresses
what it is purposed to do. But the
use of that phrase would be cumber
someway of saying what we mean.
''Select strains trees would be a in
elegant way OF designating our nursery
stock and will most likely prevail.
Then what? Probably the best thing
to do in such an emergency is to take
an old word and attach this new
meaning to it and let it grow into
general use. What old word can we
use? l know of none that will answer
as we'll as the word PEDIGREE.
This thing of attaching new meaning
to an old word and having this mean
ing grow into general use, is no new
thing in the use of words. A we'll
known case Of this kind is in calling
the aborigines of America, Indians.
They are not Indians at all. Columbus
thought when he found the New
Hemisphere that he had reached what
was then exclusively called India and,
hence, he called the natives Indians
But in time it was learned that he was
not half way to India but had dis
covered a new continent. But the
designation of the natives became so
fixed before the mistake made by
Columbus was found out that it re-
NAMED and does so to this day. The
Italian prone did not originate in
Italy but probably in France. Our
good friend, Col. Dosh, once made
plea at a meeting of fruit growers in
Portland, Ore, in which he urged
the dropping CT Italian as the name
of this prune because it is misnomer
but quite strangely urged in the same
address that it be called the "Oregon
Prune." That is, we would drop one
misnomer and adopt another! There
are many words that have been changed

Working Under Contract.

The amalgamated men are working

employers. Sixty per cent of the me-
chanics in Washington are working

The opinion was expressed by members
of the Builders League that had the
unions that are not directly concerned in
the carpenters strike kept hands off, the
Amalgamated Society and the Brother
hood of Carpenters would soon have

been satisfactory to all parties con-

against open shopism. They also arrang-

About forty employers of labor. who
are members of the Builders League,

meeting the threatened onslaught of the
mechanics. Affiliated with the Builders
League in the contest will be the En-

Defense Fund of $4,000.

The ten-thousand-dollar defense fund
to be used against the open shop was
pledged at the meeting of presidents in
Typographical Temple yesterday after
noon The session was held under the
auspices OF the executive committee OF
the central body. Charles d. Seals, chair
man of the executive committee OF the
Central Labor Union, called the meeting
to order and invited John b. Colpoys,
president of the central body, TO preside.
President Colpoys stated that the heads
of all unions in Washington had Deen
invited to devise ways and means for an
organized defense against the efforts OF
the Employers Association. the Builders
League the Master Builders Association.
the Masters and Craftsmen's organization
and all similar bodies seeking 10 establish
the open or non-uniOn shop in Washing
ton to the disadvantage OF organized Ia
Dor generally and unionism of Washing
ton in particular. He said that the his
tory of the local labor movement In It's
fight against the open or non-union shop
showed there had been no concentration
of effort, the several unions lighting sin
gle-handed whenever any special trouble
arose 1t was purposed. he said, to bring
about a unity of effort on the part OF
every union in Washington to combat
by work, influence and means the move
ment that seeks to break down and dis
credit organized labor. 1t also is the pur-
pose of the leaders to strengthen each
union and extend the lines of organiza-
ton into trades and occupations in this
city not now organized.
