enough signatures. Then each can
study out for themselves whether to

a union contract for barn and shop
men is the award of an arbitration

tween the motormen and conductors
and the Tri-State Railway and Electric

EIGHT-HOUR DAY IN SIGHT.

Washington, June IS. - President
Taylor, of the Michigan State Fedora

headquarters as follows: "The eight
hour amendment to our city charter,
when was passed recently through the
earnest work of the trade union move
ment, is going to be of material bene-
fit to organized labor sooner than ex-
pected. The amendment only applies
to municipal employees and those work
ing on municipal contract work, but al
ready there is a movement on foot for
all contractors to institute the eight
hour day. How soon this will come
about is a conjecture. but it looks as
IL it will come sooner that we expect
it."

There will be numerous parades dur

ones will be the evening of the second

been asked to participate in that pa

with all organizations to see which
union can make the best showing in
proportion to membership. The hearty
cooperation with which the Kla-How-

committee having the race meet in
charge, should be returned in kind by
every union turning to out its full
strength the evening of the second.

Charleroi, Penn, June 19.-Because

and now only one car is used for
franchise purposes. Residents of this
place are supporting the strikers in
their demand for the right to organize,

LARGEST S|LO
IN THE SOUTH
Being Erected on the Texas Expert
ment Feeding and Breeding Farm
at the A. & N. College.

Construction OF the biggest silo in
the South is now under way at the
Texas experiment station feeding and
breeding farm at the A. & NJ. College.
The silo, which is being constructed
of reinforced concrete and steel, will
have a capacity of 400 tons.
Director Youngblood says that the
experiment station system is seeking
the truth with reference to silos and
that every type of construction will
be tried out in the endeavor TO learn
which type is best for the farmer and
stockman. This will make the fourth
silo for the feeding and breeding sta
ton.
A water tank with a capacity of 49,
500 gallons will be placed on top OF
the silo. The silo will stand So feet
above the ground level and will have
a foundation of eleven feet. The in
side diameter will be 20 feet with six
inch walls. The foundation will be six
fet across at the bottom.
The silo is being constructed by the

There are problems confronting the
citizens of Bryan-the same as other
cities-and these problems must be
solved so as to safeguard the interests
of the city. This can only be done
through the efforts of an organization.
Should the merchants attempt to cor
rect existing evils, or protect their in
terests single handed, their efforts
would be futile, their time wasted and
their energies prove ineffective.
But take the Bryan Commercial Club
where men are not only in an organi-
cation, but an association; where they
come together in an exchange OF ideas
for mutual benefit and for the good
of the city-it is daily demonstrating
the power Of organization in that II

will be well nigh impregnable and
which is safeguarding the rights OF
every citizen.

THE POWER OF ORGANIZATION.
(Contributed.)


Aesop's Fables tell of man taking |,
a number of sticks and, after bindlng
them together, gave to his sons with
the request that they break same. Al
ter repeated efforts, each testing MS
full strength, thy gave it up as an I'M
possibility. whereupon the one VINO
had bound the sticks together untleo
the bundle and one by one broke the
sticks to pieces
This story gives an insight into the
mower, of organization, and describes
il more graphically than could other
wise be expressed. Combined, the
sticks could not be broken; separated
the task was an easy one. The story
also demonstrates the effectiveness OF
concentration of efforts and energies
and il is for this purposet hat II is

The failure to break the bundle OF

ANNOUNCE DEMENT'S
ELECTRIFICATiON OF THE
INTERURBAN.

In the adjustment OF the present diff
ficulties relative to the electrification
of the Bryan.College interurban, The
Eagle believes that all prejudice
should be eliminated, the wisest coun'
sci should prevail, and that the public
welfare" should supersede any private
or individual interest. The road,
while owned by individuals, is public
utility, public service enterprise, and
therefore the rights of the public are
entitled to first consideration.
1T has been conceded by all concern
ed. the owners, the Bryan Commercial
Club, and the public, that electrified
ton is the only solution of the prop
lem, and the only means by which a
first-class, reliable, dependable service
can be maintained between Bryan and
College. How to electrify is the ques-
ton for solution, and which must be
solved before the ends sought can De
accomplished. In the first place, let
it be known that it cannot be solved
until all jealousy, spite and envy is
removed from the deliberations.
To begin with, The Eagle lays down
the general proposition that there
should be no duplication, either IN
power plants or roads. In the long
hot pif
old water and light plant, the city fore
bore drastic action, to avoid this very
characterization the final corn
promise and purchase of the old plant
by the city has demonstrated The wis
dom OF the council every day since the
matter was settled Duplication means
duplication of expense, and every
body knows this increased expense IL
its final analysis must come from the
pockets of the people.
The Eagle does not believe it would
be wise to erect another power plan
in Bryan, as was proposed to the Com
mercial Club at its last meeting
neither do we believe it would be wis'
to build another road from the grount
up to the college. There should be NJ
duplication, the reasons for which ar
so apparent, it is unnecessary to men
ton them.
Then what should be done? TIL
present manager and principal owne
of the interurban is anxious to electr
fy, but is unable financially to do 81
and has asked the Commercial Gu
to arrange this part Of the proposition
This the club is unable to do becaus

SAYS EVERY FARMER SHOULD
HAVE AN OFFICE.

In the current issue of Farm and
Fireside, Clifford E, Davis says that
every farmer should have an office.
He writes in part as follows;
Every farm, however small, should
have one corner, or one room, set
aside as an office, where plans for
crops, business etc, may be studled
out. Such an office can be fitted up
cheaply; but the yearly dement's are
inestimable. Mine is only six by ten,
adjoining the kitchen, where ! can
consult the family or talk to callers
at will
Here on rainy days or at night
labor is planned, business outlined or
recorded, letters written or answered,
diseases of farm stock studied or pre-
scribed for, and all such affairs at
tended to at once.
only an hour or less each day will
keep the books up to date, show bilsl
paid, ETC.; but the result is immense,
by planning work far ahead of the
day or season, there is no lost mo-
ton" but the work moves along
smoothly, each hour seeing its OWE
duties done; and there are few jobs
left over
Without such an office, the farmer
who keeps his receipts in an old cigar
box, his accounts in his head 90 ant
his work implanted hardly knows
where he is at and both work ant
accounts soon lapse into ineytricabl'
confusion that only the sheriff's salt
can solve. With neat farm office
farming rises to the dignity of pre-
fession; and the wife should be tn
junior partner and helper, and he

SECRETARY LANES POSITION

In reply to a protest against the
proposed legislation allowing with
drawal of public lands known or be-
lieved to contain radium ores, Sec
retary Lane states the issue as one
which is believed to be that of life
and death to hundreds of thousands
of Americans.
The pitchblende of Gilpin county is
already entirely owned by individuals
and corporations, and a single Ameri-
can company now controls more than
100 carnotite claims, the radium pro-
duct from which will be sold to the
highest bidder. in any country.
The joint resolution submitted by
the Secretary for the consideration
of congress contains authority not
only for the President to withdraw
radium lands from further private ap-
preparation but also for the Secretary
of the Interior to lease these lands
or otherwise provide for the mining
of the ores so as to secure the need
ed supply of radium for the Govern
ment and hospitals of the United
States.
The object of the proposed legis-
lation is not reservation from use,
but rather development under condi-
tions not only favoring, but forcing
the best use of this valuable re-
source. which has no value except as
1t is mined and used.
1t is for control to this end that
the legislation is proposed, and such
immediate opening of the mines and
the prompt extraction of the radium
from the ores mined.
