The Vegetable Garden

Due to the high cost of vegetables
there seems to be unusual interest
among suburbanites in the home vege-
table garden. Many available small
places could be made to produce some
of the most delicious vegetables If the
gardener knew how TO prepare the
soil, and most important of all. what
to plant aud when to plant it. A very
brief, practical aud com plete circular
has been prepared by the extension
division of the New Jersey State Ag-
ricultursl College to supply this infor-
nation. It contains directions for the
preparation OF the soil, planting and
cultivation. A special feature of the
circular is a table giving the best variety
for each vegetable, the amount of seed
for a row 100 feet long, planting dates,
distances for planting, depth of plant
ing and probable time of harvesting, in
order that the planter may be able to
have the products of his garden mature
before and after his vacation.
The circular may be obtained free Of
charge from the Agricultural College,
New Brunswick, N. J., or from the
county farm demonstration, Cape May
Court House.

PICKETS ARRESTED;
AWARDED DAMAGES

indianapolis, Ind.-The Iron Mold
ers' union has established record in
industrial disputes by forcing a firm to
pay damages for illegal arrest and ma
licious prosecution of its members who
were doing peaceful picketing.
The Nordyke & Marmon company,
iron founders, has paid the unionists
5000 and costs rather than appeal a de-
csion against them in the lower courts.
Attorney Salem d. Clark, acting for
the iron molders, based the suit on the
opinion of the Indiana state supreme
court that peaceful picketing is legal.
Despite this opinion the Nordyke x
Marmon company, backed by anti-union
manufacturers, proceeded to interfere
with the picl<ets.
The unionists were arrested on va
grancy charges, but were acquitted on
the ground that their civil rights had
been invaded. A damage suit was then
started against the company for ma
licious prosecution and the lower court
held for the unionists
The company appealed the case, but
on the day set for the hearing the Nor
dyke & Marmon attorneys offered to
settle out of court by paying 5000 and
costs, which was accepted.
The ending of this case y says At
torney Clark, recognizes the rule OF
peaceful picketing to be civil right un-
der the laws of this state

OUTSPOKEN PATRIOTISM
CALLED FOR
appeal to Believers i'm Defending
Nations Rights-Must Not
Keep Silent.

New York.--A call for an adequate
expression of the sentiment of the
American people in favor of a vigor-
Gus policy for the protection of national
rights and the defense of national hon
or has been issued. Among those who
signed it were William H. Taft Joseph
II. Choate, Alton B. Parker, Elhu Root,
James r. Garfield, John B. Stanchfeld,
Henry L. Stimson, Martin w. Littton
and James Byrne The call reads:
MANY citizens who are intensely con-
vlnced that the present state of the Ger
man submarine question demands
prompt and vigorous action in denfense
of American rights, hesitate to press
their views for fear of embarrassing
the President. No such consideration
stays the hand of those who seek to
paralyze any effort he may make to
carry into practical effect his pledge to
omit no act necessary for the protec-
ton of American ships and American
citizens engaged upon lawful errands
on the high seas. The clamor of ex-
treme pacilists and of those who, from
other motives, are opposed to this pa
triotic course, makes itself insistently
heard, within Congress and without. 1t
is no longer permissible, therefore, for
those to remain silent who wish to sup
port the President in the protection of
our national rights and the defense of
Our national honor"

STATE a BAD EMPLOYER.

Albany n. Y.-The State of New
York, far from being model employ
er, is a persistent violator of its own
laws for the protection of workers, ac-
cording to a report by the state indus
trial commission. The conditions de-
scribed affect 2,1S7 state workers. A
large number of employees in the capitol
building are suffering from eye strain
and other ailments readily traceable to
bad lighting and defective sanitation in
that $29,000,000 structure,
"Were these 2,1s7 men and women
employed in any factory in the state
their working conditions would not be
tolerated for moment" the report
says. "The proprietors of the factories
would be served with 314 orders to
ameliorate conditions, from safeguard
ing machinery, improving sanitation, in
stalling better lighting, and repairing
elevators to equipping their plants with
means OF exit required under the law
for the protection of their workers in
the case Of fire or panic"

OFFICIALS NOT INCLUDED IN
"CAN'T-STRIKE" LAWS.

New York.-In opposing a cant
strike" law, favored by Chairman Straus
of the public service commission, Presi-
dent Gompers exposed the serf theory
upon which this legislation rests by
showing that the right of public utilities
officials to quit in body is never ques-
toned.
"President Shonts of the INTERIOR
ough Rapid Transit company and his
board of directors are public servants
and are protected in their rights as pub
lie servants" said President Gompers,
"but the men are neither public servants
nor protected in their rights. The State
and city assume to control and regulate
the railroads, the operation of which is
great public convenience, but never
has the thought come to prevent Shonts
and his directors from resigning, either
individually or in body, for any rea-
son or for no reason. Their motormen
and conductors cannot be deprived of
their right to resign, either"

ARE HIGH DUE PROFITABLE?

Cincinnatr-M Members Of the lnterna-
tiona Molders' Union are considering
raising their dues to so cents a week
and strike benefits to 50 a week
In the current issue of the lnterna-
tional Molders' Journal, Editor Frey re-
quests members to answer these ques-
tons before voting:
In the first place, is trade unionism
a good thing for the wage Garner? If
it is necessary for their welfare and ad-
vancement, then is it good policy for
them to make their trade union as Ell
fcCtive as possible?
"Do the members of an organization
which has ample funds, make more
rapid progress than those who have but
little income and no treasury
"In which period of our history did
our members make the most rapid
progress in securing higher wages and
improved shop conditions? When the
dues were less than 25 cents, when they
were less than 40 cents or after they be-
came 40 cents per week?
WAS it before, or after, the dues be-
came 40 cents per week that the Inter
national Molders' Union was able to
eliminate the differentials in the mini
mum wage rate?
as there any evidence that in the fu-
ture we will not be forced to fight for
our rights as we have in the past?
will we be able to fight for these
rights and defend our organization
more successfully against those who
seek to destroy it if we increase the
revenue of our defense fund?

DEMAND RIGHT TO QUIT WORK.

San Francisco.-The Sailors Union
opposes proposed State law based on
the Canadian industrial disputes act,
which denies workers the right to quit
their employment pending investigation,
The resolution declares that the
premises upon which the proposed leg
islation is based-superiority of public
interest to that of the workers en-
ployed by the public service corpora
tons and efficacy of public opinion in
settling disputes would, if admitted to
be true, justify enforced labor on the
part of all persons employed by public
service corporations, and constitute pub
lie convenience, rather than justice to
the workers, which is the primary con-
sideration in the settlement of disputes"

FREEDOM is ASSURED
WORKERS OF MEXICO

Washington-Copies of the constitu-
ton of the Republic of Mexico, adopted
by delegate convention at Queratero,
Mexico, last month, have been received
at the headquarters of the American
Federation of Labor.
The new organic act of the Mexican
people will prove an eye-opener to
"can't-strike" advocates in the United
States, who insist that employees should
surrender their right to cease work if
the public is inconvenienced. The Mex
lean constitutional convention has re-
jected this theory and has taken the most
advanced position of any nation in the
world on the question of the rights of
the workers to strike. The constitution
recognizes the right of workers to
strike and employers to lock out their
workers. Even government employees
may strike, but in this case ten days
notice must be given to the commission
of conciiation and arbitration
Strikes can not be declared illegal be-
cause of violence done by individual
strikers or small groups of strikers. Be-
fore strike can be declared illegal vio-
ence by a ajority Of the strikers must
be committed against property or per-
sons or, in case of war, if the strikers
are employed in government establish
mentS.
Reports of the personnel Of this con-
vention, received at A. +. of l.. head
quarters, state that probably one-third
of the delegates were trade unionists
and that the entire delegation from the
state of Yucatan were members of or
ganized labor

ALFALFA FOR SHEEP.

In Comparison With Timothy and Pral-
rIe Hay IL ls Superior Roushass.
Alfalfa when carefully fed and pas
tured Is one Of the best roughages for
sheep, In the opinion of A. NJ. Pater-
son, instructor In animal husbandry In
the Kansas State Agricultural college.
Less use has been made Of alfalfa
for sheep than for any other class Of
live stock. Experience and expert
ments have shown its wonderful value
as a sheep feed. Its value for this
purpose win be still greater In the fu-
ture than at present.
When alfalfa Is pastured great care
should be taken to prevent bloat. II
the alfalfa has become woody or Is
mixed with other grasses the danger is
somewhat lessened. Care should be
taken at all times, however. Before
turning the sheep on alfalfa they should
be filed up ON hay, fodder or other
roughage and turned out only when the
alfalfa is free from moisture Of any
kind.
4Aoy 6uOulu D0 nA1OWC0 ~ P0oINAO
only short time the first day, and the
length Of time should be increased lit
tie from day to day until the sheep are
accustomed to the feed. FlOckmasters
have found that 1t is never safe to give
sheep free access to alfalfa pasture.
Alfalfa hay is adapted to the feeding
of sheep because 1t is cheap source OF
protein and also because it supplies
enough bulk SO that sheep may be fed
to advantage on 1t alone.
The amount Of alfalfa fed viii de-
pend upon the price and the amount
available. When it is cheap and plen-
tiful and other roughages are scarce
alfalfa could compose the entire ration
for the flock. On the other hand, when
hay is scarce and high priced the ra-
ton could be made yp partly Of straw,
fodder and like roughages. Compared
with other roughages, alfalfa as q sheep
feed has the advantage, especially
where grown In large amounts.
In experimental feeding trials aver
aging hundred days each alfalfa was
compared with timothy and prairie
hay. The lots fed alfalfa made greater
gains and required less feed per hun
dred pounds than did the lots fed limo.
thy and prairie hay.
