on the part OF the federal government.
In order to prosecute this war to the

iron and steel In order TO have this
supply the iron ore mines must be
operated TO the limit OF the labor sup

Should the labor supply be inter

Crystal Falls turned out last Tues

MINERS WAGES ARE INCREASED.
A Boost OF Ten Per Cent VIII be
Made May First.

AS intimated in last weeks issue,
the wages Of the miners OF this dis
trict have been increased, the ucrease
10 take effect on May next, at which
time general wage boost throughout
the mines OF the peninsula viii be
made. The announcement Of a raise
in wages was given out here last Sat
urday and ON Monday the miners
found notices posted in the changing
houses al the different mines telling
of the raise
Increased Cost Of Living.
The raise in wages is due to the
increased cost IN living expenses
which, under the best OF conditions,
are high in this Lake Superior region.
The recent decision of the nation
10 engage in war has tended to raise,
rather than lower the price OF food
stuns. The government is liable TO
need all OF the iron ore that can be
produced in the Lake country and
the iron miners want to be in a posi-
tion TO supply II If called upon. For
that reason they want 10 keep their
labor from being attracted to other
parts and high wages are about the
best means OF keeping men in the
mines
Death Blow 20 I. W. W.
The /. w. w. agitation which had
gained but small headway in this sec
tion will get a knock out blow in this
wage raise as the action OF the min
ing companies shows that they are
always willing to meet their men half
way and that the good understanding
that has ruled between the workmen
and their employers in this section
will be continued.
The men didn't ask for this increase
in wages; il was voluntarily granted.
The |. w. w. proposed to call strike
without asking for any increase al
though an increase was one OF the
things that they specified in their re-
ported complaints.
Wages Highest In History.
The wages OF miners had been high
heretofore but the present announced
increase will boost them to a level
not dreamed of two years ago Miners
will get from $3.95 to $4O5 and tram
mers from 1915 to $500. Surface
labor will get from $2.65 to $2.75 but
as there Is little surface labor about
the mines this item isn't very mater
ial.

hopes and expects that the Inaugural
tion of the Sumatra inscription in the
leaf market will be followed by similar
action on the part. of our domestic
shade leaf corporations.
Inasmuch as our domestic Shade
grown wrapper leaf has conquered a
constituency comparing favorably with
that using Sumatra, constituency
moreover composing some of our larger
cigar manufacturing concerns and as
these large concerns are in the habit of
providing themselves with a liberal
supply of it, it might be advisable to
use the same plan for disposing of the
Shadegrown wrapper leaf. There will
undoubtedly be large enough buying
constituency to bid lively and effec-
lively for the acquisition of the Shade
grown leaf.
It should not prove an unsurmount-
able task for the corporations growing
shade leaf to cooperate in the same
spirit of commercial harmony as the
Sumatra Import Corporation is doing
with their importations. AS for the
conditions of the market, business con-
tinues under the restraint of short sup
plies. s.-Journal

TOBACCO MARKET.
EDGERToN, Wis. May 25, 1917.

EDGERToN, Wis. May 25, 1917.
Copious rains that have fallen during
the week has saved the farmers the
work of continued watering of their
tobacco beds. But the cold weather
following has delayed the growth of
the young plants somewhat, while the
severe frost on Tuesday night may
have scared some unprotected beds.
The reports coming to us are to the
effect that though small the young
plants are plentiful enough on the beds
and under favorable conditions promise
to be in readiness for transplanting not
much beyond the usual dates in this
state. But little, however, has as yet
been accomplished toward preparing
the fields for planting. The soil is lib
orally supplied with moisture after the
recent rains, which will help in reduc-
ing the ground to proper tilth.
The most of the packing houses are
still busy with the 1916 crop, but are
all the time getting nearer the end of
the handling season. There would be
plenty of demand for cured leaf were
the local markets able to fill orders.
The shipments out of storage reach
6OOcs and 4gcars of bundles to all points
since last report.

LANCASTER, Pa, May 16, 1911


Tobacco dealers may rest assured
that this years acreage in Pennsyl-
vania will be considerably larger than
last year, even without Lancaster
county's acreage being quite as large
as last year. York county, which grew
little tobacco last year, is going to put
out 4, 900 to 5000 acres, and Chester
county, which grew no tobacco last
year, will plant lot this year. Juan
ita county will also increase it's acre
age. What Lancaster county may do
is still problem, its planting depend
ing on several factors, and primarily
on the labor question.
On any farm on which the soil admits
the culture of tobacco little extra
work will allow the culture of an acre
or two of tobacco. On farms where
many acres of tobacco are grown, the
limit was about reached last year, and
it is difficult to see how another acre
could be added without any addition to
the working force, which will not be
possible now, when recruiting is claim
ing so many men and will soon take
very many more. Now, in the other
counties named, many of the farmers
can grow one or more acres by speed
ing up little, and the aggregate will
be q pretty nice acreage.
The cold weather has been bad for
the seed beds, and the plants will be
late reaching the stage when they may
be transferred to the field. Less than
the usual May planting will be done
this year and the growers may consider
themselves fortunate if they are able
to set out their plants the middle of
June. So cold May as this has not
been known for many years. AS late
planting means late harvesting, the
new crop will not go into the shed until
September is far advanced

THE legislature ought not to burn
time every session remodeling the game
laws. The best that can be said of
most of the game laws is they make
excellent traps for the sons of farmers
and poor laborers who have not the
time to familiarize themselves with the
bungling provisions of these anactments
and for this reason become easy vic
TINS of rabbit shepherds and piscatory
guardians. Every session the game
laws come up for revamping, remodel
ing, repeating and re-actment. The re-
suit of our early activities along these
lines was to create an army of rabbit
shepherds who Immediately upon their
creation became political oracles and
recognized leaders in statecraft. Ii
there be such thing as certitude in
formulating legislation with reference
to fish and game, it ought to be reached
by this time, and there ought to be an
end of game law agitation in which bit
very few of the people have the slight
est interest.
