a number of temperance measures be-

Growing Apples In Iowa.

Growing Apples In Iowa.
There is no place in the world
where finer apples may be grown than
in Iowa." said Hugh McVey. iowa
also raises more apples than you
would think, but they are used in the
home markets, and hence she has not
gained the reputation she deserved
abroad for her fine apples. Apples
grown here may be of the same stock
as those grown in California and the
northwest, but they have distinctive
flavor which connoisseurs are begin
ming to notice. There is great pos
sibilities for the big fruit farm In
Iowa, but our farmers have been ac-
customed to putting Ia the staple
crops year after year, and are con-
tented with their success: One rea-
son why many of the famous fruit
sections have gained their prestige is
because the soil is not adapted to any,
thing else, and specialists have given
their attention to the fruit. The
same care expended on good Iowa soil
would bring in enormous returns, and
would put Iowa on the map as an
apple state. Our farmers need to
know the fact that it would be much
more profitable to raise 5000 worth Of
apples on an acre of ground in year
instead of $50 worth of corn.

CARPENTERS WITHDRAW.
Sever Connection With the Building
Trades Department.

BY a referendum vote the. United
Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners
Of America has decided to withdraw
from the building trades department of
the American Federation of Labor.
1t is explained by officers of the union
that the action would 90 into effect
Immediately. but that it in no way
would affect the membership of the
carpenters organization in the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor Frank Duffy,
general secretary of the carpenters,
said the action Of the international or
ganization did not mean that all car
penter unions must withdraw from the
local building trade councils. Such
action" he said. lis left to the discre-
ton of the local unions"
The principal reason given for the
withdrawal from the department is the
jurisdictional disputes which arose be-
tween the carpenters and the sheet
metal workers union The carpenters
also contended that they were not
given representation in the department
in proportion to their strength.

BIG ORGANIZING PLAN.
American Federation of Labor t,
Unionize Government Workers.

American Federation of Labor to
unionize Government Workers.
Frank Morrison, secretary of the
American Federation Of Labor, has
announced that the federation would
instruct its organizers TO undertake 10
unionize the 100000 employees of the
United States government throughout
the country. AS far as possible gov
ernment employees will be brought
into existing unions. but it will be nee
essary to create new unions for those
engaged in some lines of work.
There is no law prohibiting unions
Of federal employees, although there is
a provision in the new postotlice APP
preparation act which says that EN-
ployees of the postal service shall not
join any organization imposing an OBJ
legation or duty upon them to engage
in any strike or proposing to assist
them in any strike against the United
States"
This provision was enacted as a re-
employees into labor unions and the
fear that such organization would be
able to tie up mail trains.
Mr.. Morrison declared that the strike
question had no bearing on the inten
ton TO organize government employ
ees, The idea was. ne said, that With
an organization they would be better
able to obtain fair treatment through
applying 10 congress for redress.

PICTURES IN THE PAPER.
First Crude Attempts to IlIustrate
Events of the Day.


1t is little surprising to learn that
the first journal to give illustrations
with any frequency was the Mercu-
rius Ciyilius. which came out during
the civil war in England with portraits
of Charles |. and his queen. Cromwell
and his officers and Prince Rupert.
More elaborate pictures dealing with
the war were. however, left to the
pamphlets of that time. The frost
fair on the Thames in 1858 was made
the subject of an interesting broadside,
and SO also was the funeral of Queen
Mary IL. in 1876
With the eighteenth century the art
of illustrating actualities grew. Car
features abounded. now of the Jacob
ties, now OF the south sea bubble or
. similar exciting events. The Daily
Post of l14O afforded an example Of a
daily paper attempting to illustrate a
current event. On March % of that
year it published a detailed diagram
of Admiral Vernon's attack on Porto
BeIlo
The ST James Chronicle in 1863 pre-.
sented its readers with an Illustration
of a strange wild animal that had Gre
ated much excitement in France. but
this illustration was obviously imagl
nary. The Gentlemen's Gazette in

HEROD OF THE FIELDS.
King Cotton Charged With tho SIaugh-
ter of Children.


We have long assailed, and justly,
the cotton industry as the Herod of
the mills The sunshine in the cotton
fields has blinded our eyes to the fact
that the cotton picker suffers quite as
much as the mill hand from monotony,
overwork and the hopelessness Of his
life 1t is high time for us to face the
truth and add to our indictment of
King Cotton a new charge-the Herod
OF the fields.
Why? What is it that is actually
happening to these children? Come
out with ME at ''sunup' and see them
trooping into the fields with their
parents and neighbors.
Watch them picking through all the
length of hot summer day, and the
mere sight of their monotonous repe-
tition of simple task will tire you out
long before they stop.
Mile aged fouR was picking eight
pounds day when | saw her and
Nellie, her sister five years old, thirty
pounds a day Ruby, a seven year-old
girl, on another farm stopped picking
long enough to say as | stood by her,
81 works from sunup to sundown an
picks thirty pounds a day" Think
how many light and feathery bolls lit
tie hands must pick to turn the scale
at thirty pounds.
The result of a few years of this in
cessant grind. long hours, physical
strain, lack of proper food and care
and lack Of mental stimulus, what can
1t be but physical degeneration and
mental atrophy, the human being de
graded into machine, and poor ma
chine at that? inevitably there Is
weakening or utter absence Of moral
fiber Many of the worst crimes
against childhood are not physically
evident until later years. The dleary
stretch of deadening toll and the road
ahead, the Stunted mind and the stlrig-
eled spirit are not always reelected III

WE are in receipt Of the March
Federationist which contains a
lengthy article President Comp
ers at the Miners Convention
The article deals with the attack
on President Samuel Gompers of
the American Federation of Labor
by Duncan Mcdonald member OF
the Miners Union. AT the miners
convention which was held in In
dianapolis a short time ago, NC
Donald accused Gompers of being
drunk at the convention of the A.
F. of l., stopping at an unfair ho-
tel aud with refusing to support
miners who are on strike in Colo
rado and Calumet, Mich. He also
accuses the A F. of L. of seiug
weak, reactionary, fossilized and
dead. President Samuel Gompers
III very clear and gentlemanly
manner denies the charges made ty
this Mcdonald AMI proves it.
Space will not permit or the PRESS
would be pleased to publish the
entire article. All trades unionists
should secure a copy of The Ameri-
can Federationists the official mag
azine of the A. F of L. and read il
thoroughly. Since Duncan Nc
Donald has charged Gompers with
the above it is said by the Fedora
tionists that he, (McDonald) has
transferred his property in the
names of others fearing that Comp.
ers might bring suit for slander.
