LABOR FIGHTING
WELLING'S BILL

Columbus, o March 25.-Repre-
sentatives of union labor are making
a determined effort to kill the Well
ing convict labor bill. The bill would
repeal the Wertz law and put into
effect fhe same labor conditions In the
Ohio penitentiary and Mansfield re-
formatory as prevailed prior to the
enactment of the Wertz law.
Governor Harmon Is the reputed
author of the bill. In his regular
message TO the assembly he called
special attention to the grave situa-
ton that would ensue when the
Wertz law became wholly effective.
Within the next two years all the
contracts made prior to the passage
of the Wertz law will have expired
and the prison management must
furnish employment of some kind or
have hundreds of idle prisonefs In tho
cells.
The yelling bill would allow the
penitentiary managers to enter into
contracts with manufacturing COM
panies for a period of twelve months
for the labor of any number OF con-
Victs.

! CHICAGO LETTER

Chicago. March 24.--How to keep
the brood SOW on the farm that Is the
big problem evolved by the high
prices for hogs at Chicago and other
markets, prices so high some of the
packers have announced the deter
mination to suspend pork packing for
a alperlod, because 1t has become un.
profitable. Alarm is expressed by ag-
ricultural papers that breeding ami
mails will be sold during the period
of high prices. There is basis for
the fear, for the low prices which
followed the stringency of 1907 had
the effect of sending brood sows to
market, and the present scarcity of
hogs Is partly due TO that fact Sec
retary Wilson of the Department of
Agriculture pointed out in his report
OF 1909 that the 1907 price OF hogs
was very low, and many farmers sent
their breeding sows to market under
the apprehension that the then pre-
Willing low price of hogs would con-
tinue. BY that operation the num-
ber of breeding sows in the country
was much depleted. 1t is the irony of
fate that the reaction which has fol-
lowed this, and the scarcity brought
about by the sale of brood sows has
advanced the price of pork to much
more than twice what II was in 1901.
And now, again, this is inducing
farmers to sacrifice breeding animals.
At is expected that before loug a
movement of a mprehensive char
acter will be put on foot to prevent
these tendencies.

New Noiseless Telegraph.

This invention DR.. DeForest calls the
radio telephone. In February, 1909, the
inventor of the wireless telephone
brought out his new suppressed spark
wireless telegraph with which he was
able to send messages without any in
Iterference from surrounding stations.
The first record made by this new
I"radiotone" wireless telegraph was the
Exchanging of messages between Key
West and New York and its most notable
triumph was the sending of two long
Iradiograms from the Metropolitan
Tower, New York to the Railway Ex-
change Building, Milwaukee, through all
interference and during the most ad-
verse weather conditions, feat never
before accomplished, The radiotone
Inoseess telegraph using only 2 Kilo-
watt generator communicates with Key
West and Milwaukee, while the United
States Government station at Key West
requires IS Kilowatt generator in
lorder to send back its answer.
Truly the wonders of wireless are
and yet the inventors tell
us that the art is only in its infancy.
The transmitting of several wireless
messages from a Curtiss biplane to
the ground at Fresno, Cal, was only the
beginning of practical use of the in
Iventim which will be as common in a
few years as the wire telephone is today.
