Lockout Declared Against
$1,000 Carpenters Who
Quit Work
CHICAGO HAS
LABOR TROUBLES
Stops Work on 100000
Worth of Building
5000 Strikebreakers

Chicago, April H.. Sixteen thousa nd
union carpenters, striking for an in
crease of five cents an hour were under
the ban of lockout order by their for
mer employers yesterday. Painters. la
| borers, piasterers, and sheet metal work
ers found themselves in similar circum-
stances. and enough allied trades were
affected to bring the total of idle men
beyond 10000.
The decision OF sheet metal contrac.
tors to join the fight against the I'M.
ions was a blow to the latter, as the
la Dor leaders had hoped employers in
that line would try to perpetuate con
ditions which. it was declared, gave To-
cal concerns q monopoly on such work
in this city. Union sheet -metal ships
here are said to have paid scale far in
advance of other cities.
While the action of the sheet metal
contractors probably will open the gates
for competition from outside commun-
ties, the more immediate effect will be
to save the local employers the bonds
they deposited to insure cooperation
with employers Of other trades. The
metal men were told, moreover. that il
the forfeited their bonds they also would
lose any chance for contracts with mem
bers of the Allied Employers associae
ton.
The carpenters went on strike at 4:30
p. m. yesterday. At midnight the lock-
out order went into effect. and Yesterday
the men who wished to bolt the strike
order and continue at work were told
to carry their grievances to the union
When work ceased on approximately
4 200 of the $500 unfinished structures
in the city. the contractors laid OFT all
hands except a few men retained to
clean up odd Jobs
Natchmen We're employed This pre- !
iicti0n was deemed particularly neees-

WANT PROHIBITION
FOR CLUBS ALSO
Labor Delegations in Glasgow Think That
Regulation Should Apply To

Glasgow, Scotland, April l7.--Scvera
iof the labor delegations which urged
upon Chancellor Lloyd-George the sd
visibility Of total prohibition OF alco
holic liquors during the war, made par
ticular point OF the fact that any such
prohibition, to be effective, must apply
| to private clubs as well as to saloons
and hotels.
While this was urged partly on the
ground that any such prohibition should
operate equally upon all classes, it was
also observed that in many towns it
would be futile to close the bar rooms
and leave the clubs open. Glasgow is
the most striking example of this, for
the workingmen's clubs here are very nu-
merous, and they practically all serve
liquor.
These clubs, in fact, have completely
defeated the object of recent legislation
for the early closing of saloons in Great
Britain. Early closing and Sunday clos
ing in Glasgow merely transfer the drink
ing from the licensed houses to the
clubs.
The membership fees to these work
ingmens clubs are generally nominal, and
ly through the presentation OF form
of receipt for money which has never
been paid. The law requires that only
members may be allowed admittance to
club serving liquors, but the enforce
ment in Glasgow is very lax, and a news
paper investigator last Sunday obtained
admission unquestioned to large num-
Der of clubs, although he was not mem
Der of any. In several of them he found
upwards of $50 persons seated around the
tables

Average Life of Large Tractor About Six
Years.

The average life of tractor as esti-
mated by owners in North Dakota is
about six years. while the average life
as estimated by owners in states other
than North Dakota is about eight years.
To Judge by the small percentage of re-
ports received for tractors three or more
years old, il would appear that a large
number OF outfits three. four and five
years old are no longer in use, indicat-
ing that the average life is even less
than six years.
The blowing done with tractors has
been little, if any, deeper than that done
with horses.
Combination work is not practiced to
great extent and usually is limited to
hsrrows or drags after the gang pillow.
The percentage OF tractors which are
operated at night is comparatively small,
varying from II to Ia per cent, although
the tractors efficiency at night is very
good.
No injurious packing of the soil is
caused by the tractors wheels if the
soil is in proper condition 10 be worked.
The tractors which have been oper-
ated bv kerosene show. as whole,
slightly better average results than those
operated by gasoline, indicating that the
heavier fuels can be burned al least "a
as the lighter ones. The
amount of kerosene used per unit of
work. however. is usually slightly more
than for gasoline. which would appear
TO indicate that the carburetion Of the
kerosene is generally not as perfect as
hat of the gasoline. This is partly due
to the fact that many owners are burn
ing kerosene in tractors equipped with
ordinary gasoline carburetors.
The necessity of tractor being
'quipped 10 operate on either heavy or
ight fuels is not 50 great as il was
'ew years ago. Modern processes of re-
lining make il possible 10 convert ap-
~ per cent Of any crude
vi into gasoline or heavier fuels, as de-
ired and il Is stated by an excellent
that the supply Of crude oil
Ivailsble j. ample for several genera
ions. Therefore. the question Of fuel
upply need give the tractor owner no
oncern.
The data apparently show that the
ractors with drawbar ratings OF IS
horsepower are giving slightly better re-
ults than either the larger or smaller

TRACTOR, AUXILIARY
FOR FARM HORSE
Should Be Efficient, Simple, Durable,
Comparatively inexpensive, and Run
BY Trained Worker To Be
Successful.

The modern gas tractor OF 10 or more
horsepower has thus far, within its lin
tied area OF use, proved to be an aux
iliary of the farm horse rather than a
substitute. This is conclusion set
forth in a new department of agricul-
ture bulletin (No. l74l, entitled Farm
Experience With the Tractor When
properly handled according to the bull
letin, the tractor is often of great value
in permitting one or two men to per-
form a large amount of work within a
limited length of time. With further de-
velopment, lower first cost, and oper
ated by workers who have been care
fully trained, tractors will undoubtedly
continue to grow in number and eff
new territory The heavy demands for
power to break new land are practically
over, and the growth of the tractor will
hereafter be due more to its merit than
in the past.
In past years, wherever the tractor
seems to have succeeded, the farms have
usually been very large. The present
trend of the tractor industry, however,
points to the development Of cheaper
and smaller outfits designed to pull only
from two to four pillow bottoms, and
these should make good on farms OF
moderate size, providing they cost con
siderably less per unit Of drawbar power
than the equivalent in horses.
The necessity for a large acreage. if
the invested capital per acre is to be
kept within IA safe limit, has been very
apparent. although in many farming
communities Il tractor may prove profit
BILE on small acreage, provided the
owner can obtain some lucrative custom
work for the tractor when it is not re-
quired on the home farm. A great deal
OF the custom work which has been done
with tractors has proved Improbable to
the tractor however.
The Barre daily times. (Barre, Vt.) 1897-1959, 1915-04-17

apparent that the price of tractors has
been too high in the past to permit the
average farmer to use them successfully.
The indications at present point to a
general reduction in the price of these
outfits and an increased sale as the price
is lowered.
The Tractor Still in the Process of
Development.
The fact that the tractor, as a me-
chanical power outfit designed for pull
ing implements and for long stationary
work, is still in the process of develop
ment must be remembered by those who
examine the records of its success rs Civ
en- in the bulletin. Some of the trac-
tors used in the past not only have not
been completed and perfected outfits but
the men who worked hem were not al
ways properly trained to handle them.
Also during the first few years of the
development of the gas tractor the ma
chimes placed on the market were mainly
large outfits. which were necessarily ex-
pensive, and failure meant heavy finan-
cial loss.
1t is generally recognized that the gas
tractor was CT great value in rapidly
breaking up large areas of prairie sod
in the West at time when horses were
not available, but after the sod was
broken they proved an Improbable in
vestment for the individual ariner in a
large percentage of cases. A few own
ers have found the tractor very profit
able investment, doing its work more sat
and much cheaper than could
be done with horses while q great many
its use after trial.
The percentage OF owners reporting
favorably regarding the tractor decreases
with the length of time they have used
their outfit, due partly to the fact that
the older machines were not as good az
the later ones. but mainly to better
realization of the tractors value in their
work.

Anyone knows that a person who
iays that much for dwelling space

1t was impossible to learn whether
Mrs. Green feels anything like that,
because Jacques Van Twisk, janitor

Mrs. Green has made her humble nest
here.
Also Mrs. Green could not be found,

.eepers and persons of that sort, who
Il said they have seen Mrs. Green
going and coming from her hall bed
oom, could not be expected to know
low she was feeling. They all said,
iowever, that she looked as il she
vas feeling well and happy.
Van Twisk, who has heard, like
verybody else, that Mrs. Green has
90 million dollars or so sunk away
omewhere, is understood not to be
forrying about his rent. 1t was
lointed out by the proprietor of a
learby butter and egg shop that Mrs
lreen is accustomed to buy at a time
quarter pound of butter, one egg and
bottle of milk, and that if she really
rs 100 million dollars it would take
er long time to so broke at that

In fact, neighbors added that Mrs.

ood purposes that every now and
hen they hear OF her living in suites
