divide And Conquer. !"

Washington, March. 5-Anti'
union forces that have devoted
every energy in denying workers
the right to exercise their normal
activities, and who have been de-
feated in their efforts by the Amer
ican Federation of Labor's insis-
tence that the Clayton bill be
passed, have changed front and are
now posing as friends" of the
Danbury hatters, while maintain
ing, at the same time, their we'll
known hostility toward the A. F.
of L.
In an unsigned circular entitled
What does Unionism Mean?'
these anti-unionists are mailing
throughout the country document
consisting of inspired articles
from New York and Boston, pa
per, written by their Washington
correspondents, in which the A.
F. of L. is put in the position OF
attempting to delude the hatters in
their numerous court suits.
The purpose ef these circulars is
apparent and in line with the theory
SO long practiced by opponents oil
the trade union movement, "Di,
vide and Conquer"

THERE was some big crowd at
the meeting Of Trades Council
Tuesday night Being the regular
meeting for the election Of officers
was the drawing card that brought
the delegates to the meeting The
election was interesting but only a
few changes were made in the Of
fees. If the delegates would at
tend the meetings like they did on
Tuesday night, more good could
be accomplished for organized la
Dor.

WORLD v OF LABOR

There are 5000 union painters
in Chicago.
The world contains IA 1l3, GIL
trade union members.
Nineteen States allow the EN-
ployment of children under sixteen
in mining.
In Iowa the great bulk of wage
earners average between Sl2 ana
SIS week.
A workmen's compensation law
became operative in Ontario, Can
ada, on January |.
Two new cooperative stores
have been established in Chicago.
The union miners of Cedar Point
have started a cooperative store
with $1,000 capital. 1t is stated
that the business of this venture al
ready amounts to over SO day.
In a report on benefits paid last
year, the organized street car men
of Chicago call attention to the fra
ternal side of trade unionism. The
benefits total 1924, 218. 35. divided
as follows: Funeral and disability
benefits, $88, 400; collections for
sick members, $32, ,741.35; funeral
expenses, $3077. The cal men S
official paper asks; What insti
tuition of like proportion is doing
as much for the protection of the
home and family?"
In the first biennial report of the
Montana Department of Lsbor ana
Industry, Commissioner Swindle-
hurst recommends an act requiring
prompt payment to workmen Of
wages due them. In urging the
passage of a compensation law the
commissioner says: Upon the fore
thought and foreknowledge with
which the law is constructed de.
pends its usefulness and efficiency.
1t is sincerity hoped that a comPen
sation act will be passed and that
the measure will be dictated by a
prudent regard for all classes and
interests
The Oklahoma House Commit
tee on Labor and Arbitration has
agreed on the terms of a proposed
workmen's compulsory compensa-
ton law to apply only to personal
injuries. 1t does not make any
provisions for compensation for
death. 1t was found that an
amendment to th e Constitution
would be necessary to enact law
that would provide compensation
in case Of fatal injury BY the
terms of the bill there is created a
State industrial commission to be
composed of three members to be
appointed by the Governor, who
shall have charge of the operation
Of the law, The workmen $ com
pensation fund would be made up
by compulsory contributions from
employers. The bill carries four
optional insurance features.

Asks U. S. To Pay Verdict.

Washington, March 5. Judge
Alton d. Parker, of New York +;
President Gompers and Secretary
Morrison, of the United Hatters
union appeared before the House
committee on appropriations to
urge favorable action on request
of Danbury hatters that Congress
make an appropriation of $3.50, 600
to enable the defendants in the
hatters' case to pay the fine and
costs for which they were held
liable under The recent decision of
the United States Supreme court.
Judge Parker declared that Con
gress, in euacting the Sherman
antitrust act, did rot intend that
it should apply to labor unions
He contended that the intent of
Congress in 1890 when the original
law was passed, was accurately re-
heoted in 1914, when Congress, in
enacting the Clayton law, express
" exempted labor unions from
prosecutions under the antitrust
acts,
President Gompers addressed the
committee aud also called attention
TO the intent of the antitrust law
as finally clearly declared in the
Clayton law.
In their petition to Congress for
relief, the hatters cali attention to
the declaration by Congress, in
passing the Clayton law, that laI Oh
organ. cations are not included il
the list of trusts, and that the Clay.
ton law inferentially vindicates the
belief of the petitioners and of the
members of the labor organizations
generally that they were intended
to be and are exempt from anti
trust legislation.
Washington, March, s.. Both
the Senate and House have agreed
to a section of the sundry civil ap.
preparation bill which provides that
no part of the money assigned fol
the prosecution of trusts Shall be
spent lin the prosecution of any
organization or individual for en-
tering in,o any combination OF
4 agreement having in view the in
creasing of wages, shortening OF
hours, or bettering the conditions
of labor, or for any act done III
furtherence thereof, not in itself
unlawful" f"
When this amendment was first
proposed, before the Clayton law
was passed, it aroused bitter oppo-
sition on the part of those who in
sisted that labor organizations were
trusts.
The amendment this year, how
ever, has created no comment and
its acceptance in general, and in
line with the declaration in the
Clayton law: The labor power
OF human being is not a commc-
dity or article of commerce.

Lead Arscnate.
For all eating insects arsenate is the
standard insecticide, There are now on
the market three different kinds of lead
arsenate under at least 10 or more diff
ferent names, which to the grower are
meaningless. There are in reality, how
ever. only two kinds and the third is some
combination OF the two. These two kinds
have been known as acid" and neutral"
1t should be understood, however, that
the term acid does not imply that any
free acid is present and consequently
liable to cause foliage injury. Acid"
simply refers to its chemical nature.
The ''acid" form is of higher arsenic
content and possesses less rapid settling
properties than the neutral" However,
since only relatively small amounts Of
soluble arsenate are liberated from the
neutral form, 1t has been found in some
cases to cause less foliage injury than the
"acid," and usually none.
Since foliage injury Is more common in
the moist conditions of the Pacific North
west, the neutral" form was devised to
meet these conditions. At this time,
however, in the light of our present
knowledge, the writer believes the grower
should try the "acid' form either separ-
ately or in combination. If foliage in
jury does not result the indications are
that he will get better results. But IL
injury results then the neutral" form
should be substituted. 1t must be remem-
bered, however, that since the powdered
form of the neutral" lead arsenate has
a great tendency to settle, the paste form
should be used. Either the powdered or
the paste form of the acid lead arsenate
may be used.
Caution.-Never mix lead arsenate with
any other spray until ready to use, as the
chemical decomposition which takes place
on standing may render it ~valueless or
very injurious or both.
Black Leaf 40 Sprays.
This is the standard tobacco or nico-
tine spray for all sucking insects and is
by far the best insecticide known for
controlling aphis Of any kind on any
plant.
Black leaf 40 Is a commercial prep
aration manufactured by the Kentucky
Tobacco Products Company, Louisville,
KY. The use OF home made tobacco
preparations is not recommended for three
reasons: Cd The cost of the materials
for each is about the same and quite a
little work Is necessary to prepare the
home made solution; GU it Is impossible
to know whether the home made prepara-
ton contains sufficient nicotine since the
amount in leaves and stems Is variable,
and go since the nicotine in the home
made preparation is in a very volatile
form it may evaporate to such an extent
that the solution is valueless.
This is not true Of Black Leaf 40. It
should be used at the dilution of one part
of Black Leaf 40 to 1000 parts of water.
This would be at the rate of one pint to
1925 gallons Of water or in smaller quanti-
ties, one tablespoonful to four gallons of
water, or one teaspoonful to one gallon
of water.
1t must be noted that this Is a contact
insecticide and must cover the insect to
kill it.
