SECRETARY BAKER HITS
ANTI.STOP WATCH BILL
Throws Down Gauntlet to Organized
Labor by Defending the Plan of
Timing Employees.

Secretary OF War Baker threw down
the gauntlet to organized labor yesterday
by sending to the House report express
ing strong opposition to the Tavenner
anti-stop-watch bill which was about to
be reported by the House Committee on
Labor
The Secretary Of War says that the
bill, which has the backing OF the labor
union men, would be unwise and adds
that 'It would be a grave misfortune to
the public and to the employees of the
government engaged at the Watertown
Arsenal If action prejudicial to the timing
system were taken. He also condemns
provisions in the army appropriation bill
prohibiting the timing Of employees in
government plants.
Secretary Baker explains that the sys-
TEN fixes a time limit for each piece of
work and provides for the payment Of a
cash bonus to the workman who COM
pletes a. task under the limit.
During the five years that the system
! has been in operation at the arsenal he
saws. neither the day wage nor the num-
Der of employees has diminished; but the
amount of work done and the average
earnings have increased in an important
degree"

EASTER PARADE
OF FINERY TODAY
Partly Overcast Skies and Cool
Weather Not Expected to
Deter Promenaders.

Richly dressed in flowers and with
music in the air, Washington this morn
ing awal1es to commemorate the resur-
rection of Christ from the dead
The spirit of Easter predominated even
before the church bells pealed out their
message to worshippers, for he was a
needless householder who had not stocked
his home with flowers of the season.
Awaiting the faithful in bloom-bedecked
churches are elaborate programs of music,
a glorif1cation in song of the risen Savior,
to be rendered by augmented choirs and
by organs,
Though skies rather dour are predicted
by the Weather Bureau, those individuals
who emerge from the gloom Of Lent in a
wonderful adornment OF dress will follow
Connecticut avenues precedent unde-
TERED. The promenade along that thor
oughfare on Easter Sunday is surpassed
only by Fifth avenues dress parade and
the style review along Atlantic City's
Boardwalk.
The Bureau last night assured the
doubtful that no storms were in sight,
although day partly overcast may de-
velop, with westerly winds and cool
weather. So a brilliant procession this
afternoon is presaged by a recollection of
last years lengthy Easter procession,
though the ground was damp and the air
chilled by a preceding days snow.
That the parade will be above the par
Iof former promenades is predicted by
those who keep in close touch with ner-
chants and makers Of women's apparel.

How Land Work Affects Climate.


The character Of climates Is vari-
ously affected by tho presence or alb
sence Of trees and other vegetation
In British association address, Sir
Charles p. Lucas noted that climates
became both hotter and colder when
the surface Of the earth has been barred
by the cutting down of trees; they be-
come drier or moister with tho de.
structlon or planting of trees; aral
healthfulness or unhealthfulness may
be determined by the removal or re-
tanning OF the forests. Tho Canadian
northwest Is cited as All example
Broken or plowed land does not re-
tain snow and ice like the unbrokcn
prairie surface, but it is more rotten
tive Of moisture and the heat o, the
sun. AS result there has been per-
ceptible agricultural improvement Of
the climate, with an extension of the
wheat belt considerably farther north
than formerly. Lord Strathcona be-
lieved that the rails and telegraph
lines Of the Canadian Pacific railway
brought some change even before the
coming Of the settlers, an increase in
dew and moisture having been quite
evident near the railway.
