AN IMPORTANT
PARTING OF WAYS
FARMERS WHO Wish TO GET ADJ
VANTAGE or IRRIGATION UN.
DER GOVERNMENT PROJECTS
MUST MAKE CHANGE IN THEIR
METHODS.

Bismarck Tribune: In the allotment
of funds by the board of engineers
who have, been planning next years
work for the government reclamation
service, no direct appropriation has
been made for new work in North
Dakota, although it is given out that
the reclamation service stands ready
to put another million into the Willis
ton and Buford projects IL the land
owners up there get into the spirit of
the project. That is. to say that IL
the land holders put their land into
small tracts and induce the purchase
and cultivation of these small tracts
as land has to be cultivated under
irrigation, the government will make
additions to the present plant and put
the water upon many more acres
The trouble with irrigation in this
state has been the change from the
old methods of farming to those nee
essay under irrigation Large tracts
of land cannot be closely cultivated
by one owner under irrigation The
land must be closely cultivated, and
the ordinary crops raised on land that
Is farned in the usual way do not
bring any such profits as alfalfa seed,
onions and crops that bring big
prices and produce heavily with care
full cultivation.
We think the opportunity at will
liston and in that vicinity is a great
one, If the irrigation project is carried
out, as intended, IL farmers are put
upon tracts of forty or eighty acres,
and intense cultivation is practiced.
There should be splendid profits in
raising fodder crops blooded cattle,
making butter and other things that
make for agricultural wealth. But
the land cannot be farmed in tracts of
a quarter or half section and seeded
to wheat, flax, and other ordinary
grains that are raised under the ordi-
nary way. The land costs more under
irrigation and it must be made more
productive.

unusually active Orthodox scientists
have determined that these great ac-
tivities on the sun and earth occur
about every eight to twelve years.
They put their average period at about
eleven years, but the period is, to them,
so uncertain that they will not risk a
forecast.
The cause Of sunspots and magnetic
disturbances is plainly before the eyes
of every one, but the great scientists
are so blind they cannot see these
causes. These activities in the forces
will surely cause great extremes of
weather and the result will be unus-
ually good crops on some parts of the
earth and great failures in other sec
tions.

TWENTY YEARS. PEACE
Iron Molders in Stove Industry Get
Increase in Twenty first Annual
contract--No Strike.

Thirty thousand iron molders, en-
ployed in the stove and range indus

were given an increase in wages of
per cent through an agreement sign
ed in Chicago last Monday between
the Stove Founders National Defense
association and the Iron Molders' I'M
ion of North America. It was the
twenty first yearly contrac. which has
been made between the two organiza-
tions, and during that time there has
not been strike or lockout or any
interruption to business.
The increase, which goes into eff
feet Jan. /. makes total advance Of
so per cent which the iron molders
have received through Cancellation
since 1898. The stove founders and
the iron molders we're the first en-
ployers' association and the first labor
union to sign national trade agree
ment in this country. and for twenty
years the same harmony has prevailed

union LABOR IS
CONSIDERED BEST
FIGURES PROVE RAILROADS GET
BETTER SERVICE AT LESS COST
OR RISK BY HIRING UNION MEN
IMPROVED CONDITIONS IN ALL
BRANCHES.

1t is proven fact that the railroads
whose mechanics are best organized
maintain their locomotives at the
smallest cost per mile
Proven by Figures.
| This has been proven by statistics
OF operation as reported in the ANNUAL
reports of various railroads in the
United States.
| In a 1909 report of the Pennsylvania
railroad it appears that the cost of
locomotive repairs and renewals per
| locomotive mile was 1854 cents; on
the Baltimore & Ohio this cast was
| 1888; on the New York Central it was
| 7.02; on the Delaware & Lackawanna
$40: on the Norfolk & Western 6.29;
on the Lake Shore 6.22 on the Chicago
& Northwestern sos; on the Chicago,
Milwaukee & st. Paul and the Great
Northern SOC.
The last three roads are strongly
organized (union) roads. The figures
given tell the story of increased eff
cheney where union labor is employed.
Milwaukee Shops Unionized.
The shops of the Chicago. Milwaukee
& st. Paul Railway Co, at West Mil
waukee, are among the most produc-
tive railroad shops in the United States.
This is largely due to their being SO
thoroughly organized.
The output has not been restricted,
as the company has always been able
to produce better locomotives at less
than the cost of the inferior factory
made product Of the big locomotive
companies.
Unions Add Efficiency.
Through the efficiency and co-opera-
ton of the union of the machinisIs in
its employ the above company has
not only been able to obtain greatly
reduced prices upon such locomotives
as it has been compelled to purchase,
but also higher wages for the men.
The shop conditions at the West
Milwaukee shops are the best in the
United States, a condition brought
about largely through the unceasing
efforts of organized labor, aided by fair
and broad-minded officials.
Makes Apprentice Proficient.
Apprentices are afforded every OPP
portunity to attain the highest prof.
cheney in their craft, and their sue
cess or failure Is enLlFely dependent
upon themselves. Comparatively few
fail to make good.
The pay is such as to enable a
young man, with due economy, to be
self-supporting during the period of
his apprenticeship. and upon its
completion, If retained in the service
of the company, he is paid the full
rate then prevailing for machinists.
Different in Contract Shops.
This cannot be said of contract
shops, where the wages are subject TO
the whim, caprice or avar1ce OF the
superintendent, foreman or owner
The Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul
railroad is nor losing money because
1t operates its shops with union men
This has been proven by the forty
sixth annual report of the company
which, according to the newspapers
showed big net increase in the profits
during the year previous to Sept. O.
| 1910.
This alone disproves statements
made by employers in other parts oil
the country who attempt to prove
that every business is bound to go 70
smash that is operated on a union
basis.
