CLOTHING MAKERS STRIKE.
Over 10000 Workers in New York
City Ordered to Quit.

wy OIdCICu 10 0ulI
New York.-One hundred and fifty
thousand men, women and children
employed in the mems clothing in
dustry in this city were ordered on
strike Monday by the local executive
committee of the United Male Garment
Workers of America. Four thousand
shops are expected to be affected if the
order is obeyed.
Crowds of workers thronged the
streets and cheered when the strike
decision was read to them. Hundreds
of persons were prevented by the po-
lice from parading through the East
Side to show their approval of the or
der.
The national executive committee la
ter gave its Endorsement to the strike
and voted to place T. A. Rickert of
Chicago, chairman, at it's head.
One thousand pickets will be scat
tered about the city tomorrow morning
to intercept workers not obeying the
strike order.
The demands of the workers have
not been formally presented to en-
ployers, representatives of the latter
said.
The subcontract system, which is de-
clared to have led to labor in dark
tenements and also child labor, figures
in the demands.
The abolition of both is a schedule.
Other demands are a 20 per cent wage
increase, with minimum wage scale
of $40 a week for women and SIG for
men, overtime work to be paid for at
time and half rate" and a holiday
overtime at double rates, and clean
and sanitary workshops.
Manufacturers declare their readi-
ness to meet the emergency. They
said they would have new employees
on hand to take the places of the
strikers.

FIVE BUSHELS WIN $4,000 PRIZE
Good Dry Farming Cause, Says J. P.
Nash, Montana Grower.

Nash, Montana Grower.
Minneapolis, Minn.-Good dry farm
ing methods produced the wheat which
won for Nash & Bridgeman of Clyde
Park, Mont, the $4,000 prize for the
best five bushels of wheat exhibited
at the Minneapolis Land show, accord
ing to Joseph P. Nash, who gives a
description of the methods used in rails
ing the wheat.
Nash was here with his wife and six
children to claim the $4,000 prize and
take it back to Montana with him. He
called at the office of the exposition
and was given a certified copy of all
scores and an order for the Big Four
$50" gas tractor, Emerson-Brantingha
plows, etc. Then he called on Presi-
dent Howard Elliott of the Northern
Pacific railway and received further
congratulations. He told Mr.. Elliott
how the wheat was raised and demon
strated that good dry farming methods
or just common sense, will produce
not only good wheat but the maximum
yield per acre.
Grown at 1900 Feet.
'The five bushels which won the
prize were grown at an altitude OF
1900 feet where the rainfall does not
exceed II to Is inches. One crop had
been produced on the land before we
seeded it to this turkey red wheat, the
seed for which came from Gallatin
valley" said Nash.
Co
1911 by blowing with a mould-board
plow less than six inches deep in the
last part of May and first of June.
We dragged it down as soon as pos
sible after blowing, the idea being to
preserve the moisture by dragging
within two days after blowing or
sooner. After any rainfall of conse-
quence the ground was dragged as
soon as it was possible to get onto it
with a team.
Forty Pounds of Seed to Acre.
After the first of July we double
disked the field. The last of August
and first of September it was dragged
and then the seed was planted by drill
ing with a double disk Kentucky drill,
which put it down at least four inches.
Forty pounds of seed were used to the
acre and we prefer less rather than
more than this amount If the land is
strong and clean it will not require
this amount.
with such methods of farming
moisture is preserved sufficient to
start the seed to terminate immediate
ly whether there is rain or not.
'In the spring of 1912 the field was
narrowed or dragged as soon as the
land was dry enough to permit it.
Once or twice later We dragged it.
This is done to keep a mulch on the
land and keep it from baking or dry
ing out.

means or subirrigation, though we

The centennial anniversary OF Richard
Wagner's birth was celebrated by the
United Singers Of New York at the Hippo
drome last night by a monster concert
There We're 700 men In the chorus and 800
women. There was also an orchestra OF
eighty or ninety instrumentalists from

crowded the immense auditorium and In
dulged in plaudits like the roar OF a
tempest after the numbers on the pro-
gramme which made the largest appeal
which numbers were, naturally enough
the solos sung by Nine. Schumann"'

generously through the cavernous spaces.
The programme &as for the greater part
composed of numbers from "Rienzi' Uho

solos we're Erda's warning from "Das

Adrianos aria from "Rienzi." These num-
bers We're conducted by Frederick Albeke,
and their most striking feature was the
thrilling volume of tone emitted by the
great choral body For the critically
minded there was something to marvel
at i'm the tempt chosen by Mr.. Albeke and
something to deplore i'm the frequent
ragged attacks. The concluding number
was the cantats, "Das Liebesmahl der
Apostel' tiresome youthful work o.
Wagner's which was sung by 300 men
and the orchestra under the direction OF
Carl Helm. There was also an address by
IIenning Minte, president OF the United
