Cold Storage and Butter Price

Cold Storage and Butter Prices.
Chicago is reported to have $4,000
900 pounds of butter in its cold stor-
age plants, 100000 pounds more
than this time last year. yet CONSUME
ers are paying midwinter prices for
butter and threatened with continued
advances.
The cold storage system in princi-
pie is a great public boon; in opera
ton 1t can be made burden. Its
legitimate use is definitely needed;
its abuse for predatory purposes
should be prevented.
Here. perhaps. is an inviting place
for inserting that ever-ready and
penetrating investigation probe It
might be proftably sunk deep into

The Summer Noon.

The tender notes of the mother bird
From out the summer woods are heard,
Aid scents of fruiting trees combine
With fragrance of the rain washed
pine.
The amelopsis closely weaves
It's red embroidery of leaves,
And from its heath is lifted up
The bind weeds white or purple cup.
The white piled clouds in grand array
Proclaim it is the noon of day
And spread their silent, gold washed
sails
While Ger the earth strange hush pre-
walls.
A far off plume OF smoke doth rise
Up to the quiet of the skies
Like incense from world OF work,
Where none doth dare his task to
shirk.
But snatched from out the great I'M
rest,
Like cool lips on hot forehead pressed,
The hour of noon doth soothe, revive.
And fresh strength give to those who
strive.
Then let the world stand idly by,
AS summer clouds sail through the
sky
One hour of sweet forgetfulness
From out the long days storm and
stress.

Pittston, Pa, April The first
year of the present agreement between
the anthracite miners and the opera
tors expired April 1, and is to contin-
ue three years longer. To date the
agreements has brought the 100000
mine workers of the anthracite field

estimated to be more than $4,000, 900.
Together with securing to the mine
workers this large increase in wages.
the agreement also resulted in giving
the miners union the greatest mem
bership that it has ever had IN the an
thracite belt. The present member
ship of District No. 1, the most promi-
nent Of the three anthracite districts,
and which has headquarters in Scran-
ton, Pa, is now above the $4,000 mark.
Upon the inauguration of this agree
ment in 1912 there were not more than
$4,000 mine workers in the union in
District No. l. District No. Z now has
10000 members, and District No. 8,
has $4,000 members, making an aggre-
gate membership in the three districts
of 10000 union workers, which is a
large increase in membership and is
10000 more than the organization has
ever had upon its membership rolls
