The labor trouble at the Westerly shirt company did not terminate Sat urday noon when the concern shut down for the week. It was expected that the B shirt ironers who came rom New York under alleged prom ise th2t they were to receive weekly pay of SIS a week, would return to the Dlg city and that all would be serene Monday morning Five of the men d1d go, but eight remained to do some xn1sslonary work among the opera tives. Long before it was time for th mil Dell to give the ring in for em 1yes. rne New Workers were on picket duty. reen1orced by number of local em- pfoyes, and as a result, a number who left their homes with intention to % to work did not enter the mil gafe Wnne unsuccessful attempt was mae with others to stay out in sympathv with the ironers.
 Chief Brown and other police off, cers were on duty convenient to the Rhode Island section of the plant in readiness to queH any disturbance and to prevent any violation of law. put there was no open violation thai wsyranted arrest.
 One or the ironers said that the real trouble at present was the refusal If tne snirt company to pay the expenses or the dissatisfied ironers back to New York, He said their expenses were paid when they came te Westerly and they were promised steady work at yi5 a week Instead they were put on piece work and could not earn flat amount, They then quit work an5 made demand for expenses fbaclt t7 their home city, which, they claim, should be justly given them, This lreher said that it was now prepos4i to get other employees out of the mil in sympathy, by legal and orderly means and force the mill men te nut up or shut up.
 The mill manag emeht is not fa,1g+a histufDed by conditions, as ths ena- ployes who realize the unreasonable ness of the iFOners' demand will n9s abandon their work in sympathy. Tale management will also take adya+1taga or the situation and get rid of hen that is undesirable, but which has been tolerated in the hope of improve ment.

ARTIFICIAL RUBBER FACTORY

A factory to produce artificial
rubber has been established at
Ymuiden, the port at. the mouth of
the North Sea canal. 1t is said
that the company instituting this
factory has succeeded in producing
a substance having the qualities of
rubber and also certain special ad-
vantages over genuine rubber.
The process is a secret, but the
principal ingredient of the product
is said to be fresh sea fish, which
are brought to Ymuiden in vast
quantities by the Dutch fishing
fleets. According to report Is to
Is per cent of natural rubber is
added to the fish, and the result is
a substance as f1exable and elastic
as rubber. but much cheaper
about as l.25 to 8 in price, compar-
ed with real rubber. The low
price of this product will be caused
partly by the by-products which are
possible. for it is said that much
albumen will be made from the
fish and that half of the factory is
arranged for the manufacture of
guano. 1t is stated that this
artificial rubber can be vulcanized
in short time: that it is benzine
proof and can resist the effect of
heat. At first sight the substance
much resembles real rubber. A
slightly fishy smell betrays the
chief ingredient, but it is explained
that this will be prevented by
extracting the fat of the fish,

VALUE OF FORESTS PROVED
In Addition to Conserving Rainfall.
They Are Of Other Aids to
Agriculture.

While the rainfall Of any region is
dependent on dynamic Influences In
the atmosphere, and can be affected
only in very slight degree, II at all,
by the extent Of that region covered
by forests, 1t has certainly been shown
that woods and forests conserve rain.
fall. The briefest consideration indi.
Gates the likelihood that this must be
so, because vegetation and the ground
covered with vegetation absorb water
and allow 1t to percolate slowly to the
lower levels, whereas on bare ground
the rainwater runs quickly away to
sea. But trees serve another purpose
in aid Of agriculture; because, as some
recent experiments show, they act as
windbreaks and shelters to growing
crops. The distance to which the pro-
tective influence OF trees extends Is
estimated at twenty times their
height, though complete protection,
such as might be afforded to growing
wheat In gale, extends only to dis
lance eight times the height Of the
trees. Partial protection is about
twelve to fourteen times the height.
They also check evaporation Of rain
TALL, their influence extending five
times their height to windward and
eighteen times to leeward, and pre-
serve as much as 10 per cent. Of mois-
ture ordinarily lost. Finally, their
influence heats both air and soil. in
creasing the diurnal range Of temper

Fahrenheit.

ROOSEVELT. AND MORGAN

According to Charles Edward
Russell, socialist candidate for
governor of New York, Theodore
Roosevelt from the White house de.
manded that J. Pierpont Morgan
raise 100000 more for his cam
paiKn against Parker in 1904. In
a speech in New York recently, Mr..
Russell told the following clrcum-
, stantial story of the demand:
Wayne MacVeagh was in the
office of j. Pierpont Morgan in a
social call during the month of
October. 1904. He and Mr.. Mac
Veagh were engaged in conversa-
ton, when a timid secretary inter-
rupted them to tell Mr.. Moragn
that some one wanted to talk to
him on the telephone. Mr.. Morgan
replied with profane emphasis that
he did not wish to be disturbed.
But ventured the secretary,
this call is from Washington"
"Ar this point Mr.. Morgan got
up and went into the telephone
booth. The conversation lasted
about half an hour. Meanwhile
Mr.. MacVeagh kept hearing ex-
pressions so vigorous that they
spilled out of the booth. At last
MIR. Morgan got up, slammed the
door of the booth, and came stamp
ing across the room. his face purple
with rage. AS soon as lie could get
his voice he shouted to Mr.. Mac
Veagh:
What do you think that blank
blank maniac in the White house
wants lie to do? Raise 100000
more for his campaign, after all
we diu for him."
Mr.. MacVeagh asked Mr..
Morgan what he was going to do
about it, and Mr.. Morgan replied:
Il suppose it will have to be
DONE
1 WONDER continued Mr..
Russell, whether Mr.. Roosevelt
had this conversation in mind when
he wrote that celebrated letter in
which he said:
I'VE cannot afford to artagonize
the great Morgan interests, which
have been so friendly to u.s.
Il am prepared to tell other
things about Mr.. Roosevelt in the
course of the campaign, but |
should like to see him get down off
the slack wire and answer this
duesti m:
rs what | have just said sub
stantially correct, and, il so, What
has he got to say about it," .

PURE MEDICINE AND FOOD

Pure food interests the people of
the United States. The purer the
food we eat, the longer we shall
live. That is what the doctors
tells US. That is what scientists
say. They have investigated for
centuries. They know.
That they are correct is shown
by the fact that in the past two
score years, as foods have been i'm
proved in quality and the race has
been taught. to care for itself
better, the, span Of life has increas-
ed. , 4

that their right we're being tram
pied upon. 1But DR.. Wiley did not
recognize their right to sell
medicines and foods dangerous tn
the people. He kept after them.
He gave them no place. And
they took after him.
Every effort was made to remove
him from offi"e, to force his
resignation.
His enemies were finally success
