Under the heading. ''Brickbats in the City Of Brotherly Love-, Golfers Weekly summarizes the Philadelphia situation as follows:
 1, A transit company, staggering un- der bonded Indebtedness and a past life of stupid public-defying history; 2. few thousand employees, living through a summer of Giscontent and, as the result. of inso1epce to The tray cling public; 3, A weak police force. fed by the company and friendly to the strikers. the tools of all factions, and the masters of no situation; f. A seething underworld of wild boys and vicious hood1u1ns in three sections of the city. careless with bricks and guns and all four groups the products of politically corrupt city-these were the elements which made Philadelphia look like a hotbed of anarchy and murder. It wasn't real anarchy. The city was not undergoing a reign of terror. The long schooling of corrupt rolicies had let slip into rnomenta:y y acute rebellion a few of it's choicer graduates. The PhiIadelphians were not worried, though they were incon- venfenced, but the outside world was amazed and rnisinforned.
 The substance of this summary is that the rioting is by ''wild boys and vicious hoodlums'', and that it is the natural outcome of political corruption, in which, as is generally recognized, Philadelphia heads the list of Ameri- can cities.

itablS.
 It r1ay not be known to every read CT that there is little section of Mas sachu5etts where the raising of onions is car ried to very profitable point A group of four or five towns in and
 about Sunderland and North Hadley produce more than 1000 cars of onions
 per year, the yield being from 600 to 800 bushels per acre. Land in this being rapidly settled by Poles and
 other foreigners who find profit in that industry.
 Of course everyone knows of the suc- cess of tobacco raising in Massachu- setts and Connecticut. Farmers in this section have adopted modern methods, spending enormous sums every year in
 fertilizers, raising tobacco both in. the open and under cloth, and are In a
 generally prosperous condition. It is the intention of the Boston Chamber try which makes for the welfare of any or all of the New England States and the committee on agriculture firm ly believes that there is no held Wh1ch affords a more promising outlook. than does that of intelligent and specialized farming.
 and probably will, prove to be a fact that owing to the advertising which it is getting men will go into apple ra1s- ing who have no Knowledge of the
 business and who will make failures. Not every man can successfully raise
 fruit Because one man makes sue cess. it is not an assured lnnS tlldt every man will The fact remains,
 however, that there is an enormous
 field for development in this direc- tion.
 One question which is repeatedly asked is ''what about over-prod oduct1on in the future?'' In this connection 1t is very interesting to note figures which have been published by the American Agrieu1turist, going to show that the crop of apples in this country has been steadily growing less in volume being 47,o00 900 barrels in 1889 and 29,0o0,OOO barrels in 1909. There ! is evidently room for larger develop
 naent without over-supplying the mar
 ket. It is a much more important fact however, that in proportion as apples decrease in price, their use increases. Mir Taylor. of the Department of Agri- culture of Washington, is particularly emph atic on this point He says that when apples are low the people re spond very quickly and use them in | in increased quantities. There have been only two years of ylut in the ap-
 p1e market since 1880, and those both occurred before cold storage had be- come factor. With this latter mod ern invention it will be much easier 1 to maintain a fair price for apples l during the entire year. This brings to | mind the fact that it behooves or
 chardists to have their own cold stor- age plants in the country. where the
 apples are raised and where ice is | cheap thus enabling thCm to hold
 their fruit and market it gradually.

NOT QUITE THE
 .PURTTANICAL SUNDAY

Mayor Fisher of hiddletown an nounces that he intends to strictly en- force the Sunday laws. He states that legal advice confirms his opinion that the law of Connecticut forbids tfle opening of stores on Sunday for the sale of fruit, candies, cigars, soda watsr and similar articles. He says:
 It is the sworn duty of the Mayor of Mlddletown. among other things, to secause to be executed within said city all the bylaws and ordinances thereof. and the laws of the State." That the Mayor approves, not the laws which his personal or political friends approye. not even those which he the citizens approve.
 When a law no longer meets the de- nnands of the people. it ought to be aty and by the formal and prescribed methods. It will not do to wink at the habitual breach of any law, on the plea that it is unwise or that it is not makes Legislatures careless about en- acting and repeating laws; it opens the way to a partial administration of jus Afce, to oppression, favoritisrn, and cor ruption: and it breeds 6isrespect of law generally and of the authority of the State.
 But I do not understand that the Mayor is required personally to en- force the laws, by gathering evidence, 
 There are other officers whose special saFd proper duties are found in doing these things; and the Mayor is not to l1surp the functions of prosecuting at forney or chief of police. It is for the Mayor to see that these and other c ty McfHcers are faithful and efficient, and ito do what he can to remove them if 3they are unfaithfuI or inefficient. That duty shall not shirk. I believe that it is my sworn duty to cause the or dinances of the city and the laws of %ra Re. fa1 4I,ta, T <7 #so mean to do as far as my time and &strength will allow.
 The Sunday law should guarantee 1.-the worker, his day of freedom from work; it should safeguard those who Hre ireligiously inclined against dis urbance in their deyotions. Beyond ehis it should not go It should not make the vain attempt to compel any form of religious observance; it should pot interfere with any innocent form 5f recreation or amusement. A law drawn for these ends, and enforced. would do much to better physical and moral conditions in our State and EVould work no harm to real religion. These brief principles will not win the approval Of all good and wise men. But have found so much justidca- Ion Tor them in reason and in history hat. with the wise help of a lawyer
 Friend am going to embody them,
 rankly and honestly. in a bill to be and urged for passage at the next session.
 Mayor Fishers evident intention is to Ao enforce the laws as to depopularize hem and thus compel their amend nenf or repeal. and he gives the out lines of a measure enbodying his views. which will be presented to the next General Assembly,
 Under his policy as above stated all stores except drug stores must be cIossd ali day on Sundays. It win mt he f11a SsP11rffapica S11ndax,,s 1,,,t will approximate it.

Tn these days when the manufacture of automobile parts has reached large proportions and when the construction of each part has become matter of specialization and consequently of comparatively cheap production, it has become possible for good mechanics to buy the several parts and assemble them into the complete machine, prob ably at less total cost than the mar ket prices of autos. It is reported that a number of New Workers. most 1y millionaires. have undertaken to supply themselves with automobiles in this way, their expectation being that by getting rid of rents. commissions, etc. their machines will cost them less than the market prices by at least 20 per cent. and perhaps B Is per cent. The result of their venture will be watched with great interest by the many persons who wish to. possess machines but cannot afford the cost

COMPULSORY ARBITRATION
MAY BE INDUSTRIAL SLAVERY

are embodied in this decision of the ar.
bitrator he must work according to
these terms. His right to freely sell
his labor on such terms and conditions
as pleases him is done away with so
far as his decision may not agree with
the decision of the arbitrator.
1t must not be assumed that com.
pulsory arbitration would only bind
the employer and not his employee or
that in all cases all demands of the
laborer would be granted by arbitra-
tfon. The first supposition shocks the
American sense of fair play and the
second is contrary to all experiences
and any probable contingency.
Therefore, it follows that under
compulsory arbitration the laborer
must expect, good part of his time,
to work under terms and conditions
which he does not like, which he does
not agree to, and for an employer
whom he does not want to serve.
To exactly this extent compulsory
arbitration amounts to involuntary
service or servitude and this means
slavery. In its essence slavery is
nothing more or less than complete
involuntary service and as any scheme
approXimates to this 1t approXimates
slavery. Demagogues may come and
demagogues may go; politicians ambi-
tious for office for which they have
no fitness may continue from time to
time proposing first one and then an
other panacea for all the ills of the
modern social system, but it will be
many years, we take it, before the la.
boring man will be deluded into ex-
changing his right to work, for whom
he pleases and on what terms and con
ditiOns are satisfactory to him, for a
system which will compel him to
work as a board or court of arbitra-
ton may see fit
being bought up or influenced by the
money of the wealthy employer, who
may be a powerful syndicate or a
Trust, is one of the reasons why some
far-seeing labor leaders do not favor
compulsory arbitration. This consid-
Grafton is one that at least deserves
serious thought on the part of every
labor leader who is a real student of
the question.
