What the Hop Aphis Unchecked Would
Do In One Year.
Few persons, writes james Buckland
in a report of the Smithsonian institu-
ton, realize how enormous is the num-
Der Of insect species or how amazing
is their power of multiplication. The
number of insect species is greater by
far than that of the species of all other
living creatures combined More than
100000 have been described. and prob
ably twice that number remain to be
examined. Virtually all living animals
as well as most plants, supply food for
these incompatible hordes The fecun-
dity Of certain insect forms is astound-
ing.
Riley once computed that the progeny
of the hop aphis, which sees thirteen
generations born to it in q single year,
would, If unchecked to the end of the
twelfth generation. multiply to the in
conceivable number of ten sextillions
Of individuals. Supplementing that cal
culation, Forbush says that if this
the inch, 1t would extend to point so
sunk in the profundity of space that
light from the head of the procession.
travelling at the rate of $4,000 miles
second, would take $500 years to reach
the earth,
Kirkland has computed that in eight
years the progeny of one pair OF gypsy
moths could destroy all the foliage In
the United States. A Canadian ento-
mologist declares that In one season
the descendants Of a pair of potato
bugs would, If unchecked. number Co.
100000.
The voracity Of insects Is almost as
astounding as their power of reproduc.
ton. The daily ration in leaves of a
caterpillar is equal to twice its own
weight If horse were TO eat as much
he would require ton of hay every
twenty-four hours. Forbush SAYS that
certain flesh eating larva will con.
sumo in twenty-four hours 200 times
Its original weight. human child. to
do as well, would have TO eat in the
first day of its life 1900 pounds of beef.
Trouvelot, who made special study
OF the subject, atiirms that the food
taken by single sikworm in fifty six
days equals $4,000 times its original
weight at hatching What destruction
this one insect would cause II even
one-hundredth part Of It's eggs ever
Matched! The facts show how great is
the value to man OF the insect eating
birds.

Unfaithful

The strike situation during the
past week has changed somewhat
especially at the plant where a
number of weak kneed So called
strikers returned 70 work due large
ly TO the inf renee of the contract
gang foremen, many of whom have
been visiting the homes of the
white feather tribe and urging them
to come back to work. This ac-
ton instead of breaking the strike
as the Dunghills seem TO think will
enly prolong it and give the loyal
machinists ample opportunity to
teach this outfit what it means to
allow any foremen to place the
brand of scab upon them. Now a
word 20 the contract gang foremen
You have enjoyed the confidence
and respect of the ldboring people
of this city for many years and you
imagine because no attempt has
been made to get you out, thai the
strike is virtually over and your
actions will soon b. forgotten, but
not SO, you will feel your position
more keenly every day. You are
entering the new year as scab and
traitor to your fellow workmen.
Within a short time a history Of
this strike will be written and
printed, booklet form, and copy
placed in the hands of every family
Ia the city SO that your record will
be open for inspection for future
generations.
This booklet will contaib pictures
and cuts of the prominent loyal
machinists who proved their man
hood in this struggle. This book
let will also contain your PICTURES
and tell in plain language the part
you tc ok in this strike and your
mad desire to retain a petty fore
mansnip at the expense of the men
on strike. We promise you it will
make interesting reading not only
for traitors but also be a good guide
for honest men when dealing with
meu of your class. H. d. Z.

Aatters' Relief Plan Is Be
ing Supported.

| Washington, Jan THE labor
press is voicing organized labor S
views of the action of the last A.
r. of L., convention in calling upon
trade unionists TO contribute one
hours pay to the Danbury hatters
On President Gompers' birthday
January 27.
From the Pacific TO the Atlantic,
the sentiment is uniformly in favor
of aiding workers whose homes
were lost through court interpreta-
tions that have sipce been nullified
by the passage of the Clayton law.
The San Francisco Labor Clarion
says:
There is no union but that is
benefited by the sacrifice made by
the batters, he ultimate outcome
being the Clayton antitrust law
and this voluntary action by the
| American Federation of Labor con
vention will be approved by every
trade unionist wherever he or she
may be, we feel positive, and the
appeal will be responded to prompt
ly by all. The brave and stCbl orn
tight put up by these trade union
lists is deserving of every consider
alton at the hands of their fellows,
and the response should be in pro-
portion TO the merits of the case.
Remember the date and do your
share. The sum indeed is not
large, but there is no room in our
ranks for shifkers.
In other sections of the country
the same spirit is reported. The
Philadelphia Trade Union News,
representing a section in the ex-
treme east, says:
"The old Danbury hatters, after
a life of toll and of struggle for the
principles of unionism, face evic-
tion frcm the homes that should
afford them merited shelter in the
last few years of their existence.
Unfortunately it (the Clayton
law) came too late for the judicial
protection of the hatters, who were
sacrificed on the alter of the archaic
and distorted Sherman law, but by
directing the special attention of
the country to the vitalized senti-
meat of the present law the old
hatters may not hav= suffered in
vain.
The Danbury hatters are vic
tins of repudiated regime.
Contribute your hour to old
hatters.

This Happened in New York
Don Let 1t Happen Here.

The undertaken laughed in glee,
And to his partner said:
Well get JOB on Smith, I see;
caught hin buying bread.
"Non-union dope, made by slave.
A hopeless, harried Yens,
With scarcely time his hands to lave
Or anything to cleanse.
"All rushed to death, his eyes he
bats,
And often doesn't know
II using yeast or rough on rats
When mixing up the dough.
So well get Smith. Not sense
enough
Has he in his dull head
To can that most unwholesome stuff
And buy the union bread"
And what be said was never myth;
In ten weeks to day
That undertaken confined Smith
And carted him away.
If you would live your life out, then
Have always on your table
The bread that, made by union men
Bears the Union Bakers Label.

To Defend Chicago Girls.

Chicago, Jan. Thirty women
lawyers of this city have formed
an organization for the purpose of
preventing any girl from being

en- attorneys are urging the crea-
tion of special court for these
cases and agree to give one day a
month free to defend young women

IndOrses GOmperS' Position

Seattle, Wash. Jan. IA few
years ago we were all optimistic, +"
says Editor Ault, of the Seattle
Union Record, in discussing the
value of eight hour Legislation,
which he terms Parliamentary
Dangers. The editor refers to
other movements that hotly es-
poused this principle, bdt which
have now either Collapsed or are
in their second childhood.
'Gompers was ore of the first, !"
says the Union Record. "to see the
danger of depending OF legislation
for things that organized labor was
organized to get by its own power.
Many experiences have shown his
warnings were well-grounded. Now
the point is this: Failure so far
to secure universal eight hour day
by the power of our organization
does not make resorting to legisla-
tive enactment any the less danger
Gus; in fact, it makes it all the
more dangerous"
The Union Record declares that
i President Gompers saves us
rom the pitfalls of so-called direct
legislative enactment he will have
line one of the grandest things Of
lis busy life"

THE strike situation in this city
has now reached the critica. roint
On last Tuesday two men were
shot and on Wednesday another
man was shot and one killed 1t IS
too bad that the heads of the fac
tories would rather see the union
and non union me- Il kill each ther
than to settle the strikes. We hope
that something will be done by the
factory owners to bring the strikes
to a sreedy end ard have the old
men TO come back TO work. We
also hope that the union men will
NOT do anything TO violate the laws.
We realize that it is hard to see
other men from out of the city TAX
Ing the jobs of the men who are on
strike, but unlawful acts will not
win the strike. Union men should
no. sacrifice their lives fighting
for jobs that are hardly worth hav-
ing. One union man life is worth
more than hundred scabs and we
should not loose any more of them.
