STRIKE STOPS WORK
 IN MERCHANT SHIPS
HEAVYWEIGHT THOUSAND MEN WALK OUT ON PACIFIC COAST
 -15 PERSONS IN HOSPITAL.
REPORTED TO WASHINGTON
Employers Have Placed the Issue Squarely Up To Federal Authorities, Closing Down Their Plants ana
 Do Not Try To Operate.

San Francisco.-Strike riots and disorders, in which 15 persons receiv- ed injuries neceSSitating hospital treatment and 90 rioters were arrest ed, continued throughout the day fol- lowing the wakout of 2S,000 iron workers and shipbuilders, which brought work to a standstill on more than S150000,000 of naval and mer- chant vessel construction for the gov ernment. The strike is characterized as the most extensive in the history of the Pacific coast
 Full details of the strike and the demands of the 25 unions involved for higher wages have been reported to Washington The employers have placed the issue squarely up to the federal officials, closing down their plants and making no attempt to ope rate while they await government ac- tiOn.
 The strikers. most of them skilled mechanics, started the walkout when the 10000 iron workers in the Oakland and San Francisco plants of the Union Iron Works laid down their tools. The strike spread rapidly until every ship yard in the bay district was closed down and more than 100 factories, machine shops, automobile concerns and other plants were affected.
 No demonstrations took place in connection with the iron workers Walkout against their employers, but as the thousands of strikers left their work and spread throughout the city the worst rioting and disorders took place in connection with the strike of street car men since the employees of the United Railways walked out five weeks ago
 Employers in the iron trades and shipbuilding industry charged that the strike of their men was largely prompted by sympathy for the strik- ing street car men.
 In a statement issued by the Iron Trades Council from union headquar- ters this charge was emphatically de- nied and the mems side of the case laid before the public. The statement claims that the employers are get ting all the war profits, while all the men ask is wage sufficient to main- -tain their families in decent com fort"
 At a final conference of both sides, the unions offered to reduce their original demands of increases aver aging 35 per cent to increases of 20 per cent for the men who are now getting as low as $2.25 day and 10 per cent increase for others.
 Answering the charges that the men are unpatriotic in striking, the statement points out that the strikers and shipbuilders of the Union Iron Works alone subscribed for $191,0OO of Liberty bonds.

A Sticky Story.

Mr Barry Pain, the famous humor- ist. is as clever at telling a good story as he is at writing one. Some time ago he was present at a gathering of artists, and in the course of the eye ming he rose to make speech. Gen tlemen," he said, being present at d gathering in which art is SO largely represented, I feel it incumbent upon me to say a few words concerning the subject of painting. Speaking person ally, my only efforts in that direction were on an occasion when I enameIed our bath. My friends said to me, My dear fellow, it's no good your going in for painting unless you're prepared to stick to your work We'll" concluded Mr. Pain, amidst the laughter of his audience, sI did '-London Tit-Bits.

SAYS ALL CHILDREN DO IT
University President StartIes Hearers by Declaring Youths Like to
 "Take" Things.

Dr. c. Stanley Hall, president of Clark university, speaking on "Relig- ion and Education" the other day, tossed off q number of opinions that rather startled some of his hearers. Say. damn once in q while if the occasion demands" Doctor Hall ad- vised and when the gasping had sub sided he gave it as his belief that sapping children was good practice if the slappings were admin istered vigorously and mot more In sorrow than in anger
 ''Be very kind about stealing," said the wise doctor, flor all children do it'
 That appears to be pretty broad assertion, says the Dayton News. Perhaps the doctor is right, but let us hope that he has OverStated the case. In justice to him it must be added that he qualified his assertion concerning the thievish propensities of children by saying:
 Possibly there is not a person here, man at least, who has not stolen apples, turnips or watermelons. If they had been caught in the city they would have been branded as crim- inals."
 We can understand the doctors con- clusions concerning apples and water melons, but why should any boy want to steal turnips? As well accuse all boys of prefering work to play. No, we refuse to believe that Doctor Hall was not too generous in his accusation

point of distribution, while the lighter portions, the husks and the stalks will be scattered further away. This makes it necessary to fork over the ensilage and with the greatest of care the corn, husks and stalks are not evenly dis tributed The distributor will give an absolutely uniform distribution and will save the labor of at least one man in the silo; although there should al- ways be from two to three men tramp ing inside while the filling is going on. In filling it is well to keep the outer edges little higher than the center and to do most of the packing at the outside. The matter of packing is very important. Do not attempt to save money on labor by cutting down the number of men in the silo and while they are there see that they keep moving. A man standing in one place all of the time does not give much service.

TIMELY PREPARATION FOR FILLING sILo

cooperative filling is practiced an Ohio blower cutter of large capacity will probably give best results. If the grower is filling his own silo and de- sires to own his machine, a cutter with knives from II to 20 inches, depending upon the capacity of the silo, will give the best results. If the silo is above ground blower cutter should be used by all means. If he has an under ground silo he can get along with a chain carrier No matter the style of cutter, it should have a distributor. This is merely series of joints of pipes fastened with snaps and rings in q manner to make it flexible. It eX- tends from the end of the blower or from the end of the carrier to within q few feet of the bottom of the silo.
 Evenly Distributed.
 In this manner the ensilage is evenly distributed all over the silo, which is not the case when the cut corn merely falls from the top either with q blower or chain carrier. The heavier parts of the ensilage such as kernels and pieces of ears will fall closer to the

can only be done by supplying a suffi- cient amount of labor to keep every thing running. Some farmers favor a smaller cutter and letting the filling period extend over more time. In some instances this is probably an eco nOmical practice. I know one man who uses a small cutter with a chain carrier-the type that demands the least power-and runs it with his farm gasoline engine. He uses the or dinary help of the ranch with perhaps an additional man or two and extends the filling of hundred ton silo over period of a week. This of course has the disadvantage very often of allow ing part of the corn to become too ripe, as it is now, while that which was put in first may be a little green.
 Different Cutters.
 The cutter selected will depend somewhat upon the kind of silo and upon the system of filling adopted. If

From the farm management stand point it is always Il great deal better to have things ready for the silo long before they are needed It does not take any more time to see that the knives of the cutter are .sharpened and that the binder is in good working or der at one period of the year than it does at another and it may mean q good many dollars to the rancher, writes c. W. Pugsley, in Field and Farm. No money is saved by attempt ing to get along with too little help. Filling the silo at the best is rather heavy work and as q rule we do not like that part of it which demands the handling of heavy bundles of corn. If teams and men enough are on hand to complete the work in short time and less trouble will be experienced in get ting help.
