LABOR WANTS To KNOW
WHY TROOPS WERE SENT

The Atlanta Federation OF Trades Is
rofrx TO investigate the facts regard
Ing the action OF Governor Brown when
he sent troops 10 the Durham coal
mines to queu a riot that seems never
TO have existed At the time this was
done there were business dinerences
said to exist between the management
Of the mines and laborers IN its employ.
but no violence.
The Federation OF Trades is not go
ing to take any hasty action on the at
fair and IL moving slowly IN its efforts
TO get at the facts In an EFFORT to be
entirely fair TO the governor and to
avoid any possibility OF prejudging the
case the Federation has given its ex-
ecutfve committee two weeks more In
which 20 carry out its work.
The Federation does not intend TO al
low the sending OF troops to interfere
with the rights OF free labor to so by
unnoticed. but II IS also determined to
have facts 10 back up anything II may
decide TO DO.
Two weeks ago the executive committee
was asked TO investigate the matter fully
and report to q meeting held wednesday
evening. But the committee Wednesday
evening reported that owing to the alb
sence Of some OF its members from the
city the work had not been finished A
motion was then promptly made giving
the committee two weeks more Of time
IN which TO follow up what had already
been done. The claim Is made that at no
time was life or property in danger at
the Durham mines and that there was
never the slightest reason for sending
troops there The differences that existed
are said TO have been purely commercial
and that the state troops nor the gov
ernor had any rights In the matter at ell.
II Is the feature Of ordering out SOL
diers TO force free men to work in q
coal mine that the federation says It
feels II stag at the constitution rights
OF every person IN the United States.

Reasons for Pruning

The Colorado Experiment station
has advanced correct ideas about
pruning as follows:
Il. Prune to modify the vigor of
the tree. giving 1t less top to sup
port, allowing the sap to flow into
the remaining branches.
20. Prune to produce larger fruit
than could be produced If the vital
forces of the tree were divided
among a greater number of
branches.
80. Prune to give the trees de-
iirable shape.
"a. Prune in summer to change
the trees from wood-bearing to
fruit-bearing.
80. If the tree bears too much
fruit prune heavily in winter, so
that the tendency will be to wood
growth.
&c. Prune to remove surplus parts
or injured parts, or parts that inter-
fere with each other.
81. Prune to facilitate spraying
or harvesting.
IS. Prune to facilitate tillage."
