STRIKE ENDS
 ON AGREEMENT
PHILADELPHIA SHIRT MANUFAc- TURERS MAKE WHAT IS CON. SlDERED MODEL SETTLE
 MENT OF TROUBLE.

Philadelphia, Feb. 27- What repre- sentatives of the Federal and State boards of industrial mediation say Is a model working basis for the ad- justment of industrial disputes of like nature has just settled the strike of 1000 employees of the shirt making trade, who have been out of the shops about five weeks. The parties to the agreement are the Association Of Shirt Manufacturers Of Philadelphia and representatives of Shirtmakers' Union, Local No. f53 United Gar ment Workers of America.
 It's chief point of excellence, ac- eording to it's originators. is in the fact that it makes provision for a protocol during q dispute between employers and employees, affording A working basis for the adjustment Of those differences without hampering work or resulting in a strike
 The agreement between employers and employees provide for shop committee" consisting entirely Of employees of the concern. three in number. selected by the employees themselves, to whom grievances are to be referred in case of failure to come to an agreement first with the shop foreman on the matter. In case the shop committee and the employ ing firm should fail to come 10 an agreement the dispute is to be sub mitted to an arbitration board of three members, consisting of one employer, one employe and the third member to be selected by the other two. The decision of this board is to be final
 The employees are inclined 10 think the adjustment a victory for them in that the employers association, al though refusing to recognize the union formally, permitted the sig natures of Abraham Berkson. New York, general organizer of the union; Samuel London, local business agent, and other union members who are not employees of Philadelphia shirt manufacturers to be attached to the agreement as accepting" it. They consider this recognition, according to members of the union. The employees are to receive a per cent advance in wages. They asked for 10 per cent. Nearly two-thirds of the shirt makers union are women.
 The other terms of the settlement are as follows: The working week shall consist of 50 hours, the days work being from a. m. to noon and l 12:45 D. m. to D. m., except that Sat l urrday's work shall start at 8 a. m. and conclude at noon. Week work CTS are to be paid time and half for overtime.
 There is to be no charge against the workmen for power, needles, straps or other machine parts, unless such parts are destroyed by willful negligence, and the employers are to keep the machinery in such condition as to preclude loss of time by the employees. No work is to be done on New Year, Memorial Day, Fourth of July, Labor Day, Thanksgiving and l Christmas.
 Employers are to have their fac tories sanitary and safeguard the workers against fire and accident
 Firms are to have the right to nb- ject to 10 per cent of their employees who may not be satisfactory to them for shop committee service, but in no sense is there to be discrimination against an employe because of his af- filiations.

ANNEXATION IS
 CAUSE OF FIGHT
MOVEMENT TO. DETAcH THREE TOWNSHIP FROM LONOkE COUNTY SUMMARlLY DIS
 POSED OF IN HOUSE.

The movement to detach three township of Lonoke county and annex them to Pulaski county caused a fist1c encounter in the house Monday night, and was summarily disposed of by the indefinite postponement Of the bill.
 For about one minute and 10 sec onds there was a lively scrimmage in front of the press desk, between Rep resentatiye J. I. Trawick of Pulaski and Representative "Bill" Waggoner Inf Lonoke A dozen other represen- +atiyes rushed in between the combat ants and separated them before any blood was shed.
 Glasses and Decorum Shattered.
 The only damage done was the breaking of MT. Trawicks glasses and the temporary shattering of the dignity and decorum that character ize the sessions of the house.
 MT Trawick introduced House Bill No. $50, to annex Gumwoods, Williams and Lafayette townships in Lonoke county to Pulaski county, and estab- fish d district court at England. He presented petitions signed by 4o3 citizens of the district effected, repre- senting, he said, 9S per cent of the total citizenship of the three town ships. The petition follows;
 s'We respectfully state that courts should be established for the conven- fence of the people; that at present we are from 20 to 9 miles from the county seat, and have no railroad con- nection with the county seat except by circuitous route; that it would he more convenient for all inhabitants to be annexed to Pulaski county in the territory above mentioned by req son of the fact that direct railroad communication is established.
 The clerk had scarcely more than announced the title of the bill when Mir. Waggoner moved to table it. But it was read twice and MT. Trawick moved to refer it to the Committee on Counties and County Lines, and Mir. Waggoner parried with a motion to indefinitely postpone
 Says Pulaski County Is Hogeish.
 MT Waggoner made an impassion- ed plea in support of his motion, de- claring that Mir Trawicks bill was most vicious measure. He said that he had been and is still friend of Pulaski county, but he opposed it's policy of territorial acquisition as con trary to Democratic principles. He said Pulaski had grabbed one town ship from Saline, had tried to get an other, is now trying to take three from Lonoke. and next year will be after slices of White and Jefferson and Faulkner He said that it was scheme of James B. Gray and Ben Morris of England, who had been promised a district court if they would come into Pulaski county.
 ''The passage of this bill," he said, will stir up bitter antagonism and engender strife that ought to be avoided"
 Representative Holloway of Lo- noke gave a history of the annexa- ton movement. He said it had been campaign issue, and that everyone who favored the proposition had been ingloriously defeated. He said the people of that section had made many improvements, built some of the fin est bikes in the state, and paid an original debt of $60,O00 they had in- herited He charged that this was an underhanded method of taking it quarter of million dollars worth of property away from Lonoke county,

so that dry weather will not prevent the grain from filling out, the grain crop also will prove profitable this year
 Nitrate of soda, used as top dress ing during the last of March, will aid the crop to make good growth despite spring drouths. This should be ap- piled at the rate of 100 pounds to the acre at time when the plants are dry, but the land contains considera- ble moisture so that the fertilizer may be promptly dissolved, and taken into the soil. The fertilizer should not be applied immediately before wet weather, as heavy rains before the nitrate has been absorbed with leach out and wash from the soil a large portion of this fertilizer.
 One Of the advantages of the oats crop is that it may be harvested sui ficiently early to permit the growing ef second crop, such as June corn, peas. soy beans or 1espedeza. The lespedeza should be sown broadcast as early as possible after the oats are ur at the rate of one bushel per acre. However, 1espedeza will not furnish ] hay crop unless the land is sufficient ly fertile or sufficiently moist 10 per nit ti3e plant to grow during the late summer. On poorer soils or those that do not hold moisture, the plant will not provide a hay crop. but will furnish some pasture. Where seeded on fall grain the lespedeza should be tie Rock spent Saturday night with sown in February or early March

SUBMIT COLLAR
 TO BUSY MOTH
THIS INDUSTRIOUS LITTLE PEST ALONE CAN TELL REAL FUR FROM IMITATION NOW ON
 THE MARKET.

New York-A clothing manufactur- CT who agrees with many others that the overeoat with the fur collar is going to be in demand visited a friend in the fur trade and submitted to him sample beaver collar, ready to be attached to an overeeat, and sought a price on quantity. He was told they would cost SIS each. The clothing manufacturer, who admitted he knew nothing about furs, said he had bought the collar for $t0.50 and could get all he wanted at the same price The fur man, a member of I representative firm at once offered the clothing manufacturer $13.50 for every caller he could get ct the price, speeI- flying, however, that they would have to equal the color and quality of the submitted sample. The furrier went further and showed his friend how different skins are sewn together so skilfully that the job is only apparent to the initiated, how the dye of the Persian lamb is likely to decorate the linen collar of the consumer, who would be expected to take it out on the retailer, and many limitations Of the real thing which the fur trade has produced in anticipation of big call from the clothing trade.
 The experience of the clothing man. ufacturer referred to is typical of many more of them who realize the1r ignorance of furs at a time when knowledge of the quality and values of the skins would be of infinite value. They have come to the conclusion, juging from their comments. that to be in the running their fall lines must
 include many overcoats with fur col lars of the detachable or attached va riety and they also realize that while the fur collar may have less of sus- tained demand than even the pinch back garment they must have them in stock when the retailer is buying.
 Prestige is the thing which is go. ing to count in the buying of furs, ' one manufacturer who is plunging on fur collared coats said. "We are go- ing to the best houses in the line and we are falling for these excel lent imitations'
 The buyer for a chain of New York stores with an enviable reputation for square dealing with the consumer was asked how he intended to size up his fur coat purchases with his admitted ly limited knowledge of beaver, nu- tria, Persian lamb and Hudson seal.
 I'm not going to bluff it. he re- piled. ''I realized what was coming and I am going to the best houses. If anything turns up which looks like a bargain am going to get fur man to go with me, and when we placeI orders we are going to keep track oi the number of skins in each collar we have made to see how they compare with the sample. In the fur trade the clothing manufacturer is an infant in arms and I'd advise him to take a nurse along, in the person of a fur expert, when he goes into that trade to spend money. if he wants to retain the prestige of his own customers"

only as all educator, but as a business
man. that political enemies, fearing
his power III the future, succeeded in
dethroning him,
The people OF Nebraska took up the
matter and elected him state superin-
tendent, but in the Wilson landslide
last fall he went down to defeat, al
though he ran 10000 votes ahead of

bounded into the street. He hurried
from his home and carried the man
and woman onto his lawn. The physi-
