WORKERS HAVE GARDENS.
One Place Where Manufacturing and
Agriculture Are Combined.

~ SNtSAN
Brooklyn Eagle: Take a river
steamboat down the muddy Ohio on u
summer day for a sight that will sug-
gest the countries of Southern Europe,
says Edward M. Thierry, in Leslie's.
Just when imagine you have left
the mills and furnaces of Pittsburgh
behind, you come upon a little colony
of farmers clustered on the river
bank-men, women and children Of
every conceivable nationality tilling
the soil. 1t is Ambridge, Pa. The
town has been misnamed; it should
have been Cosmopole. 1t is another
of the throbbing industrial towns
skirting the Pittsburgh district, and
until 1 visited it 1 believed there was
no such thing as a combination Of in
dustry and agriculture.
There are located the principal
works of the American Bridge COM
pany. They build the worlds bridges
there and in spare hours they teach
the world new ideas on intensified
farming. There are almost 5000
bridge workers; men from almost ev-
cry country under the sun, and a
worthy percentage of them make sixty
acres of land along the river bank
perform feats Of production that
would surprise the scientific farmer.
The interesting part of these novel
truck gardens is the fact that they
form a new and unique idea in indus
trial welfare work. The truck gar
dens are something of their own, con-
ceived by the manager Of the AM
bridge works, F. r. Cadmus, and car
ried on for the benefit of employees Of
every nationality on land owned by
the company. approximately 24O diff
ferent families-for the most part the
families of men in the laboring class,
who earn $3.50 a day or less-profit
from the gardens.
The tillers raise everything at prac-
tically no expense whatever except
the time they put in caring for the
gardens.

Madison, Wis, March 6.-"The title
to this bill should be changed to "A

Chief John T. Jansen, Milwaukee,
characterized the Redding boxing bill
in the hearing before the committee
this afternoon. He dropped in acciden-

views.
"If conducted within the law, those
bouts would not be attended by a cor

see a fighter take a lunge at his OPP
ponent and see a man sent to dream

pass a law like this, and make our

fighters in the union. This game sends
