be, with the advantages of scientific
agriculture, stands small chance of

methods of farming.
With Money Farmer Can Profit.
1t is cOntended that If he be fur
nished with money upon fair terms,
and with sufficient time to repay it,
he will then be able to profit by the
lessons the department of agriculture
offer him. Furthermore, it will foster
the back-tO-the-farm movement that is
regarded as one of the best steps that
could be taken in American life. BY
enabling the son of a small farmer to
buy a farm on terms that do not fore
cast foreclosure, it viii prevent thou
sands from drifting to the city, and at
the same time will encourage the re-

stated themselves with city life and

farm only by the knowledge that they
are not able to buy a farm under pres

7 P. DUFFY, third vice president Of

been in the city for the past four weeks
on official business, says that he hopes
10 see the local labor situation settled
and that all unions will work in har-
mony and advance union principles, in
stead OF retard.ng it by backbitting
methods.
He SAYS that no strike involving any
great number Of men has disrupted his
organization for Is years. This he
credits to the arbitration agreement
they have with employers The Brick
layers international represents $50, 00G
members and Mr.. Duffy says that is
proof that an organization in order to
progress must work in harmony, that
union principle is a matter of cooper
alton between employer and employee,
and union man who thinks a union
IS for the sole purpose of lettering
himself alone is off the track"
Mr. Duffy says the growth and pro-
gress FL Paso since his last visit here
IS a great surprise, as is also the big
gain the local Bricklayers' union has
made.
He also praised the Herald for its

ASK CHICAGO CHURCHES TO
THROW OPEN DOORS TO UNIONS

Six hundred Chicago churches, en-
rolled in the church federation council,
will be asked to turn their church
parlors and parish houses over to
Chicago labor unions for meeting pur-
poses, it is announced.
William Barrett MiIlard of the
church federation is backing the plan
and believes that it is a partial Solu-
ton of the problem of getting the
laboring man in closer touch with the
church.
81 have found that nearly 600 of the
110O-labor unions in Chicago meet in
halls over or in the rear of Saloons"
said Millard.
81 believe that if the churches throw
open their doors to the unions we will
not only have brought the worker
closer to the church, but we will have
lessened the influence of the saloonist
over the labor vote"

BAKERS BIG GAINS.

The local labor paper OF WORCESTER,

by the Bakery Workers union, not
only in the entire country, where the
union is recorded as having made great
gains in both membership and i'm
proved working conditions but in New
England as well, in some cases wages
having been increased as much as %
percent. The New England conditions
are due in a large measure to the
activities of the anti-bread trust con-
ference. which spends its greatest ef-
forts in fighting the bread trust
through the advocacy Of the union
