ENCOURAGEMENT FOR
LABOR SLIGHT WHEN
BILLS ARE REPORTED
Especial to The Farmer.)

Hartford March 16.-Lajbor unions of
Connecticut which had been awaiting
with keen interest the outcome of bills
which promised to amend Section 1895
Of the General Statutes, Cthe anti
picketing law, and also which would
include occupational diseases in the
worMngmen's compensation act, got
little encouragement from the action
of the Judiciary committee reported to
the Senate yesterday.
Several measures bearing upon
these points were reported adversely
Senator F. A. Bartlett of Bridgeport, a
member of the judiciary committee,
said in explanation of these reports,
that the committee was preparing leg
islation which would broaden the
workmen's compensation act. He said
also that a measure was in prepara-
ton which would provide some meas
ure of relief from conditions which
now exist under Election 1896 of the
General Statutes
It may he stated that the legislation
which the committee will recommend
later will not include occupational dis
eases although it will take a step in
that general direction.

Washington, March 16.-Confidential
diplomatic reports from representa-
tives in Mexico Of a neutral govern
ment passing through here on their
way to Europe say the German bank
IN Mexico City and the German lega-
ton there are guiding virtually the
entire financial and diplomatic affairs
of Mexico.
According to these reports, the ac-
ton of Mexico in sending recently to
the American republics a note on the
subject of peace in Europe was di-
rected by officials of the German lega-
ton, while the German bank is said
to have come into control of the Mex
lean financial situation.
It is stated that the German bank
has accepted quantities of the paper
issued by the Mexican government,
and that the institution appears to
have at dts disposal unlimited re-
sources From the tenor Of the re-
ports it appears that a large quantity
of German money has reached the
Mexican government.

will serve to bring about an alliance
which could be used against the Unit

Wage Farmers Homes
Planned for Lowell

Lowell, March 16.-The city OF
Lowell has been selected for the first
direct experiment Of the Massachu-
sets homestead commission in the
erection Of modern priced homes FOR
working people. An option has been
obtained on four acres of land in the
Highland section and plans were
made public today for the erection OF
30 houses to be sold to wage earners
at cost by a system of deferred pay
ments. The system is dependent on
the passage of a bill pending in the
legislature which would authorize
the commission to expend 100000
for this purpose. The Lowell board
of trade has approved the movement.

colonel of the Princess Pats was
Fanny Farquhar, representative
of the highest type of British soldier.
Farquhar lasted until March of 1915
which was remarkable, in view Of
his daring disregard of danger. The
Princess Pats, eager for the fray
landed in muddy trench somewhere
in Flanders. In little while they
looked more like balls Of mud than
men. But they were not to be dis
couraged. In the bloody months that
followed the Germans learned that the
only way to discourage Princess Pat
was to kill him, or MAIN him so
terribly that he could not operate a
gun.
