agreeable. Those who are studying
the economics of the day tell us that
the strength Of the nation lies in the
cultivation Of the soil. Farming is no

means Independence. often afhuence.
but certainly independence.
Calling at farm house. near one of
the numerous thriving towns of Al
berta, in Western Canada. the writer
was given a definition of "indepen-
dence" that was accepted as quite
original. The broad acres of the farm
er's land had a crop-and splendid
one, too, by the way-ripening for the
reapers' work. The evenness of the
crop, covering field after field, attract
ed attention, as did also the neatness
OF the surroundings, the well-built sub
stanual story-and-a-half log house, and
the well-rounded sides of the cattle.
His broken English-he was French
Canadian-was easily understandable
and pleasant to listen to. He had
come there from Montreal a year ago,
had paid $40 an acre for the 32O-acre
farm. with the little improvement it
had. He had never farmed before, yet
his crop was excellent. giving evil

model of symmetrical build, replied:
BE gosh, yes, we like him-the

wife standing near. She had accom-

optimistic feeling being prevalent
everywhere. It will be interesting to

Gov, Hadley and Col. Roosevelt had

10000 GARMENT WORKERS ARE

10 Regarded 40 victor.-Manufac.
turers Take Friendly Stand
Toward the Employees.

New York, N. Y. - The cloak
Makers strike, one Of the greatest in.
dustrial disturbances in the history of
American labor, is settled. Seventy
thousand garment workers who have
been idle for nine weeks will shortly
return to work. Ten thousand of them
and those who are dependent on them,
$4,000 in all, were on the point of evic-
ton. Hundreds have already been
forced to the streets.
The industrial loss to employers and
employees has run high into the mil
lions. In loss of wages alone, the total
Is more than $10,000,000, while the loss
to manufacturers, jobbers and retail
ers the country over has been com.
puted at ten times that amount.
Julius Henry Cohen, counsel for the
manufacturers association, describes
the agreement signed by him and rep.
resentatives of the strikers in this
sentence:
mo principle has been surrendered
by the manufacturers, yet the union
may truly claim they have won q great
victory for their people. The manufac.
surers believe. in the union and in the
principle that all who desire its bene,
Its should share in its burdens"
Sweat Shops Abolished.
One essential to this victory, and one
important not only to the strikers, but
to the nation at large which wears their
output, is the abolition of all contract
work at home. Hereafter garments
In New York will be manufactured un.
der sanitary conditions. There will
he no more sweat shops.
The rock on which all previous eff.
forts at mutual Cancellation have split
has been the closed shop. That rock
has now been avoided by the adoption
of the preferential union shop" idea
for which Louis D. Brandeis of Boston
formerly counsel for CLAWS, in the
Pipchot and Ballinger hearing, is given
full credit.
In the articles of agreement the idea
!s thus described:
Each member Of the manufacturers
is to maintain union shop; a union
shop being understood to refer to q
shop where union standards as to work
ing conditions, hours of labor and rates
Of wages prevail and where, when hir
ing help, union men are preferred;
it being recognized that since there
are differences of degrees of skill, EN-.
ployers shall have the freedom of selec
tons as between one union man and
another, and shall not be confined to
any list, nor bound to follow any pre-.
scribed order whatever"
Other articles provide for these more
important points:
Points Won by Strikers.
l. Electric power free. 2. No worl
at home. 3. Discipline of any manu-.
facturer proved guilty of discrimina-
ton among his employees. 4. Six days
work week and cash weekly pay
day. 5. All sub-contracting within
shops abolished. 6. Nine hours work
day, five days week, and five hours
the sixth day. z. The price of piece
work to be agreed upon by commit.
tee of employees and their employers,
8. Double pay for over time.

In Rhyme

On Fruitmere farm, on the ranch
house site,
The packers and pickers met Wednes-
day night
The ranch house doors were opened
wide,
And the jolly bunch all went inside.
Both old and young were full of glee,
And happy as birds. as one could see.
The packers are noted for their fun,
Their hearts are happy when the day
is done.
Both old and young went out to play.
For the moon shown almost bright
as day
The evening was full of mirth and
fun,
They played such games as Run
Sheep Run.
Which is great fun, you cannot doubt.
Also dropped the handkerchief and
Last Couple Out
Part of the evening with games was
spent,
Then into the house again they went
And of food and knick-knacks did
partake,
Such as peanuts. candy and cake.
The hour for parting came all too
soon,
And they departed home by the light
of the moon.
Shine on. Old Moon, and keep us from
harm.
Especially the pickers and packers of
Fruitmere Farm.
