conti-des the bulletin. When the
value OF the commercial peanut crop
OF the United States OF 1908 was osti-
mated at $4,000. 900. the wonder was
expressed that this article OF food is
not more generally cultivated. par
ticuiarly In the South and South
west. where IL can be grown at
great profit.
The demand for the peanut as an
article OF food Is constantly growing
In this connection the interesting fact
is developed that this country is a
large purchaser Of peanut oil from
abroad. while there are thousands Of
acres OF waste lands I'm the South
capable OF producing enough peanuts
To keep the cotton seed oil mills run

for home consumption.
That the cultivation OF the peanut
is n profitable industry may he seen
from the figures Of the bulletin. An
acre OF first class peanuts. calculating
the yield at a ton Of vines. worth
from IS to $40. and 90 bushels OF
peas. worth $40 10 $50. will give an
income OF s4S to $40. The cost IF
growing an acre OF peanuts is var
iousiy estimated at s12 To s25. thus
showing a net return OF $50 to s45.
This is above the average for the crop
as now grown In the United States.

readers HOW HE BECAME A
BRAKEMAN AND WHAT CAUSED
HIM TO SHAKE THE POSITION
AFTER FIRST DAY.

A party OF railroaders were standing
on the platform Of the Northern Pa
cifc day or two ago and were talk
ing of things in general when a pas
senger who was going west butted In
with:
Il used to be railroader.
II only worked one day at the bust
ness. / always wanted to be a rail-
roader and stand on top of the box cars
and wave my hand as we passed

get on in the summer, but one day in
the dead OF winter / made application
and as they were needing men very
much, / was hired, given book of
rules, told TO study them and report
two days later, which / did.
The book of rules told how you was
to make a coupling with the aid of a
stick or club and not to use your hands.
how there was to be no running
switches made and there were rules
by the score, some of which I have
never yet seen enforced.
The day was to report I showed up
and was sent out on a local freight on
run OF about thirty-seven miles and
back. At the first stop was sent out
to make a coupling and / was half
frozen stiff. / was long time at the
work when the conductor. named
Longacre, came out and in the most
terrific language / ever heard he asked
me what l was doing. / explained the
book of rules and he said, HELL ierked
the club out of my hands, threw it
away and made the coupling himself.

were one mass of sleet and ice and
when he told me to go up and let loose
a brake I said / wouldn't do it. He was
so astonished at me that he couldn't
say word, but he sent the f1agman
out and he did the work. but slipped
off the car in getting back again, and
when we picked him up his leg was
broken, and the conductor talked as
though it was my fault. Going back
the train broke in two twice and / had

road still owes me one days pay"

If it declines to endorse the complete
programme of the organization with
which 1T is for the time cooperating.
The trades unionist has no more
right to insist that the church shall
help him support his organization as
such, than the church has the right
to expect the trade unionist to stand
for the church. If the trade union
lists declare that the church must
stand unequivocally for organized la
Dor because the union is contending
for higher standards of morals and
ethics, for better homes, better schools,
and better living in every way, then
the church has an exactly equal right
to demand organized labor shall come
out clearly and strongly for the church
because it stands for the same things
In brief, the church may stand with
organized labor on all questions which
have a moral and ethical basis, but
when the question at issue is merely
a matter of expediency, of jurisidic-
ton. of recognition of the union, or
any similar matter, then the church
must have right to maintain neu-
trail position, just as the trades unions
would not be expected to take up sides
were the church to take up denomin-
ational differences, creeds or forms of
government. AS individuals, we may
think as we please about the affairs
of church or of labor Every man
must be given the right to join OF not
TO join. But we cannot assume to
commit our organizations either
church or labor--to any system out
side of their peculiar province.

BUSY SESSION
OF Commission
MATTER OF FRACTION OF MILE
IN MI LEAGE BOOKS
THRESHED OUT.

Bismarck, n. D., Jan. AT the
meeting of the railroad commission
the complaint of travelling men of the
state in regard to the pulling" of mile
age books was under consideration.
In a petition sent to the commission
it is stated that when there is a frac-
ton of a mile in distances between
towns conductors tear off for the full
mile, whether the fraction is more or
less than the half of a mile. The re-
quest of the committee was that the
mileage books be marked on the half
miles. The railroad men made another
suggestion that win probably be ac-
cepted by the commission. The con-
ductors will be instructed to draw the
extra mile where the distance is six
tenths or more over the even mile and
to draw the short mileage where the
distance is four tenths or less than the
even mile. This will give the travelling
men what they asked for and at the
same time will save the roads from
changing their forms OF mileage.
A complaint was before the board
from Gascoyne regarding the depot at
that village which is located on the
Milwaukee, Puget Sound road in the
southwestern part of the state. The
petition recites that the depot there
is simply an abandoned boxcar and
that it is not heated. Trains are sup
posed to stop there "on flag" but this
they often fail to do even when the
signal is out. President Stutsman OF
the commission win make a trip to
Gascoyne to investigate conditions.
A petition was also received from
the Ambrose laxton branch of the
500 in which 1t is said the train serv-
ice UP there is entirely inadequate to
the needs OF the towns along the line
and that the trains are run with great
irregularity. Commissioners Anderson
and Mann were delegated to make a
trip Of investigation over the line and
report at the Fargo meeting of the
commission Jan. ~.
At the Fargo meeting the matter of
the complaint of. the launderers assoc
citation regarding the return charge on
empty carriers win be taken up. This
matter has been pending before the
board for some time and has been
postponed on several occasions for the
convenience Of the attorney interested.

PRINTERS ARE
TO GET INCREASE
THE NEWSPAPER PRINTERS AT
SAN DIEGO GET AN INCREASE
IN SALARY FOR THEIR CHRIST
MAS PRESENTING FRICTION
" AT CALIFORNIA TOWN.

San Diego, Cal, newspaper publish
ers have set a noble example In their
dealings with employees, by granting
them voluntary increase OF pay.
Says The Labor Leader:
THE newspaper printers of this city
have each received a Christmas pres
ent in advance. in the form Of an in
crease in wages of so cents day.
The advance was made voluntarily by
the managers, and is therefore doubly
appreciated by the typos. Nowhere
in the entire country does there exist
a better feeling among the newspaper
employees and employers than in San
Diego. For years there has not been
the slightest friction between the
management OF the newspapers and
the members OF the Typographical
union. They have been as one happy
family, each treating the other with
every consideration and courtesy. Mr..
MacMulIen, general manager OF The
Union and Tribune, voluntarily raised
the wage scale on Wednesday and
insisted that the new scale be put
into effect on that day. This Is such
an unusual occurrence In these days
of industrial greediness that 1t de-
serves the commentator OF all lovers
of fair play, and especially merits the
esteem and appreciation of those d.
reetly benefited by Mr.. MacMullen's
generous act The Labor Leader has
been informed that Mr.. McGrew, man
ager of The Sun, will also grant his
printers an increase Of so cents per
day. 1t is safe TO say that the gem
erous action of Mr.. MacMullen and
Mr.. McGrew will rebound to their own
benefit in more ways than one. There
is no mechanic so efficient as the one
who feels that his services are appre-
ciated and realizes that he is. being
treated fairly. III more employers
would give little consideration to
the men and women in their employ,
thinking Of them as something more
than mere pieces Of machinery made
to turn out money. they would find
1t an easy matter to get competent
and satisfied workmen. with result
ing increase in their earning power"
