sion Saturday afternoon, Sept. 80.
The attendance was not large, those
present were gratified at the encour-
aging report brought in of the out
come of the Wesserunsett Valley Cat
tie Show and Fair which was thought
by many to exceed in exhibition of
stock and hall display as well as in
attendance that of any pervious one.
The program as noticed last week
was carried out in part tho not fully
on account of the time spent in re-
ports and in an informal talk on
ways of awakening deeper interest in
the Grange with the hope of being
able to report after the Fair of 1917
that Athens Grange is free from debt.
The committees reported the finan-
cial result of the Fair to be about
$3.50. The Lecturer announced the
program for next meeting to be: Roll
call, each member to give name of
town in which they were born and
relate some incident of their early
days; description of early customs

ments by Ellen Jones; song Old

| industries of fifty years ago, j. E.

promise to Washington and that the
United States did not dare to protest

Tariff War May Follow.
\ war of tariffs between the allies
is said hy some writer's to be the in.
evitable consequence of the economic
war against Germany as proposed by
the parliamentary conference, since
discrimination against the Central
Empires would leave France and RUS
sia in the necessity OF competing with
Great Britain for markets that would
compensate them for the loss of Ger
man and Austrian trade.
Fortunately" said an authority on
economic questions concerning the
work of the conference, the parla-
mentarians who have been discussing
these questions were absolutely with
out official credentials, their discus
sions were mere talk. and when the
economic relations of the allies be-
tween themselves ana with neutrals
and tho Central Empires are taken up
seriously and officially. some, if not
all, the uneasness caused by the pro-
positions of the previous conference
will be dissipated.
Boycott of German Goods.
In the talk of hoycotting the Cen
tral Empires, Well-mtehtioned people
have been carried too far by their own
zeal. France needs German coal: she
needs the German market which. in
spite of the treaty of Frankfort, took
enough French goods TO more than
balance the coal bought by France up
to 1900. France win not easily yet
coal on as good terms elsewhere and,
what Is more important, she viii hard

and this afternoon there was not po-

The Irvine workers-the first to go
out-met at MeIdazis' hall, 2242 w.
23d pl., today to formulate formal
demands which will be~made upon
the company. 1t was in this hall
that some of the exits were locked.
The hallway leading to one exit was
so dark that people entering it to go
upon the stage often stumbled down
the stairs, which were steep and mar
now, with a street door at the bot
tom padlOcked.
The Irvine spinners have been
getting 16 and II cents a hundred
pounds for men workers and IA and
141a cents a hundred pounds for
women workers. AS the women do
the same work as the men a fiat
scale is asked, and this, it is desired,
should be 20 cents a 100 pounds. The
balIers want an increase of % per
cent.
Recently the company raised the
price of Irvine to farmers so high
that a congressional committee is in
vestigating, and at the same time cut
wages of Irvine spinners one cent
hundred pounds.
The night shift of spinners work
113l hours. The longest lunch hour
they ever get is nine minutes, often
it is only five. The work demands
such constant attention to the ma
chimes that they must cram what
ever lunch they get in the three to
nine minutes it takes to oil the mo-
tors at midnight.
The night men want a 10-hoUr
day, 5 days week work, the day
workers want a 9-hour day. They
also ask time and half for over
time. Ordinarily the night crews are
men and the day crews women work
eTs.
Besides the 1,4OO Irvine workers
who went out yesterday, !, ZOO mould
