STRIKE SITUATION
REMAINS SAME

There were no new developments in the
strike Tuesday. The men did not hold
their usual meeting as they went to the
shops instead and got their pay there.
The men were very quiet at the shops an
there was perfect order, it resembling
number of people going and coming from
church rather than bunch on a walkout.
New men are reported to be joining the
lists every day and the men who are out
are constantly receiving offers of aid from
business men and others if 1t is necessary
for them to have it in order to keep GO
ing, but as yet have declined all offers.
An indication of what it means to the
road was shown Tuesday when two 60
car freight trains came in from Bangor
and then the crews continued to Portland
one train taking one car with it and the
other going with just the caboose owing
to it not being possible > inspect them
here with the limited force of inspectors
which is made up Of foremen. The men
out say that these two trains Tuesday
are only part of them and that other
trains. at night especially, are being sent
out from the yards here without being
inspected, although the officials deny this
and say that every car is looked over
before II is allowed to leave the yards
1T is up to Mr.. Mcdonald said one of
the men. IF he wishes to run the road
in this way, face the danger Of costly
wreck, and throw the business of the
country all out of order Just because he
must bully the shop men, why we Will
try to stand it as long as the stockhol4-
ers Of the road will let him go on This
seems to express the sentiment of all the
men who are out.

TEXTILE WORKERS
FIND GARDENS PAY
Average $50 Saving From Small
Plats-Chickens, Pigs, and
Cows Help Reduce Living Ex-
peRSeS.

Washington, May 1i.-How hundreds of
people in the various textile mill towns
of North and South Carolina are prepare
food supply by successful gardening is
told by Investigators of the Department
of Agriculture, who have found that each
of 54S families raised on an average $50
worth of food in gardens containing only
about Is of an acre and with an average
total cost of labor and fertilizer Of $354
Chickens, pigs and cows are often kept
by the people to good advantage. In
these textile mill towns. il is stated. small
scale gardening has been encouraged for
a number of years by the mill owners ami
has been found profitable by the mill
workers. The plan has resulted in local
retail prices for garden truck which are
only one-third to one-fourth that of pres
quence the amount of food raised on each
garden is considerably in excess of what
could be purchased elsewhere for $50.
The mill companies. it is explained, fur
nish their employees with a house and
plot CT land at very small rent. The
people are helped to make themselves
self-sustainng so far as possible. One
company employs an expert to- demon
strate the best methods for growing the
products best adapted to the region.
Success is gardening. it was found. de-
pended entirely upon the industry Of TIE
workers. Some families failed to give
their gardens the proper amount of a.
tention and raised correspondingly poor
crops. Others who were more industrious
greatly exceeded the average amount OF
food produced.
Where chickens were kept they were
found to yield an average net return of
S10S a fowl Pigs also were profitable
but were not so numerous. Many OF tie
people have cows. One mill owner puts y
purebred bull at the disposal of his en-
ployees who own cows, and is building UP
the grade of cattle in this way. Tracts
of land for community pasturage are
common.
