Shoe Trade Notes.
Chuzzlewit

A strike of $50 block cutters oc-
Cured lately in the factories of
thirtynine remnant dealers in Hav-
erhill Mass. The dealers had re-
fused to grant the demand of the
men for recognition of the Indus
terial Workers of the World with
which they were affiliated, nine
hour day and fifty-hour week the
year round double pay for overtime
and higher prices for piece work.
The strike of block cutters leaves
$50 other employees without work.
There are progressive thinkers
who declare that shoemakers of to-
day have better minds than the shoe
makers of the old fashioned days.
Shoemakers of today must think
more accurately, quickly and system
atically in order to run their mach
ines. The modern shoe manufact-
ury process is certainly great deal
more complex than was the old-fa-
shioned shoemaking process, and in
fact there is no comparison of the
shoemaking of the present time with
that OF years ago, any more than one
could compare the wheeling of a
wheelbarrow with that of running
an auto.
Unique experiments in the army
have resulted in the recommends
ton for adoption of what is con-
sidered the best shoe for preserving
the natural shape of the foot and in
surfing the comfort of the wearer.
The X-Ray was utilized in the expe-
riments, LECTURES being made of the
feet of thousands of soldiers before
the shoes were tested. Then various
army shoes were put on the soldiers
who were sent on long hikes. Pic
lures were taken after the marches
to show the condition of the feet.
The tests continued until shoe was
found which left the bones in their
normal condition of the strain of
long marches. The shoe recon-
mended is made on a straight last
with a rounded toe.
Optimism verging on enthusiasm
is easily apparent in the Northwest
owing to prospects for bountiful
harvests. Unless unexpected set
backs occur, there is going to be a
large total of farm products this
year. The aggregate OF all grains
as given by the Dept. of Agriculture
in it's July report indicates 1872,
100000 bushels, an increase of 544,
900, 900 bushels over the final har-
vest of 1911. There is a gain this
year of 59,00O,000 bushels of pota-
toes, and the hay crop is estimated
at around 60, 100000 tons while last
years short crop was 100000
tons. These gifts from nature bring
a vast amount of money to produ-
GERS and are impressively important
to the world of industry and COM
merce. The liberal yield is regard
ed by bankers, railroad officials and
merchants as the best in recent
years and the shipments of mer-
chandlse throughout the west and
south are considerably ahead of last
year.

Harry Krause is back in fast
company once more after his great
record of wins at Toledo. Cleve-

Krause lost his first game against
the Red Sox.
Columbus now has fine cppor-
tunity to win out as they are at
home for long stretch. With such
pitchers as Packard, Cooper, Cook
and McQuillen in good form they
should make trouble for all corners.
Cantillon's crew left home snugly
ensconced IN first place, but it is
probably they will drop a notch or
two while on the trip. If they win
the rag this year it will be by a
whirlwind finish on the final home
stand.
