Myron T. Herrick, former ambassador

Some Leave Town

Several Of the foreigners left town
early Monday morning. carrying their
possessions with them, and showing
signs Of joy in being able to go. 1t is
thought that the neutral members of
the foreign colony are rather in fear
Of the strikers because of threats made.
On the Island, where the foreigners
live, everything seemed to be the same
as usual, and rather as if the day were
Sunday or some holiday. Some of the
men sat around in circles on the
ground and played cards, while 9TH
ers walked up and down the road in
twos and thTees, the women went
about their work, many engaged in
doing the family washing and as the
day was warm a large number Of them
worked out of doors.
In the early part of the forenoon, by
the aid Of William Settler, engaged as
interpreter, word was passed around
among those who We're employed at
the mill that they could go to the Of
fee of the mill at II A. M, where they
would receive the amounts due them.
'xAt the office list had been made out
of the laborers to be paid, and the paw
was ready for them, about 125 in all.
The time came and passed but not
one Of the men went to the office for
their pay, it being thought that they
acted upon the advice Of their leaders.
supt. Parker's Statement
In regard TO the cause Of the strike,
Supt Edward T. Parker, interviewed
by the Journal representative, gave the
following version of the affair:
About two weeks ago 50 of these
unemployed men were to be found at
the Office every morning begging for
work, many Of them crying like chill
dren. There were some edgings in the
yard and to give these men aid told
them if they cared to go to pealing
this material for $1.25 a day they
might do so.
1T should be understood that at
this unfamiliar work they could earn
but little more than 20 cents a day for
some time but we were ready to nav
them SIPS to tide them over the idle
season.
The chief trouble makers learned
that some Of our regular hands were
earning $3.50 per day and demanded to
know Of the foreman how much the
new men were to receive. He asked
them how much they were promised.
They admitted $1.25. He then told them
that was what they would get. Imme-
diate1y began the inception of the ill.,
feeling resulting in Saturday morn

MULCH TO INCREASE YIELDS
Especially Useful Method for Dry.
Land Farmer-Does Away With
Cultivation and Wedding,

The latest theory for the preserva'
ton OF moisture for hoed crops on
dry lands is to mulch the gardens
with straw. As compared with In
tense cultivation this has given very
favorable results.
In the case of cabbage especially.
mulching has increased the yields as
much as 5000 pounds the acre. The
higher yield was due both TO an In
crease In the size Of the heads and
to higher percentage OF marketable
leads. For this mulch six inches OF
straw is spread and II settles to about
four inches. The straw is applied
soon after the plants are set In the
field and does awsy with all subse.
quent cultivation and wedding.
The cost Of the mulehirg is slightly
greater than that OF cultivation, but
the work can often be done at slack
time, while the cultivation must be
given regularly at the psychological
time II the weeds are to be kept
down and the moisture conserved
This method OF handling cabbage is
especially useful for the busy dry.laSd
