STRIKES IN ENGLAND
DESPITE AGREEMENT
Government May Be Driven to Take
Some Drastic
Measures.

LONDON. March 2I.-Despite Lord
kitchener's warnings and the agree
ments between the government and the
trades unions that strikes should cease,
stoppa ges of work still continue.
Though the number of men involved
thus far is small, fears are expressed
that the disaffection may spread and
the government be driven to adopt the
drastic measures which have been
threatened in order to increase indus
trial production.
At Eirkenhead yesterday the men
loading three steamers quit work and
announced that they would not resume
their labors until Monday. Their
ground was that they are not paid until
the following week for work done Fri
day and Saturday.
On the Liverpool side of the Mersey
a large number of lockers threatened
to strike for similar reason, and to
lay oft for an entire week.
Responding to appeals made by War
Secretary Kitchener, the Earl of Darby,
and the leaders of their unions, the Liv-
erpool lockers unanimously resumed
work today.

Gardening as Recreation.
BY Frederic J. Haskin.

To every man who is not too many
generations removed from the soil the
first warm days of March bring a deep
seated yearning to get back to it. And.
as our cities grow, the number of men
who can fish and play golf and engage
in other sports of the open country
steadily diminishes: but with more
and better trolley lines always reach
ing out to new suburbs the number of
men who can own a bit of land and
delve in it with IA spade is growing
apace. Amateur gardening is really
becoming one more great American
sport. Nearly all Americans are of
farming stock originally. and few of
them are so many generations re-
moved from the ancestral occupation
that the smell of a fresh-turned soil
has not a subtle appeal for their nos
triis.
Thus it happens that the suburbanite
