WANT MINIMUM WAGE

The Wisconsin state federation Of
labor and sympathetic organizations
have petitioned the state industrial
comission to fix a wage Of $3.50 a
week for women and minors employed
in Wisconsin.
Four years ago the state indus
trial commission investigated the
question of wages for women and
found that $3.50 a week was neces-
sary. No order to this effect was is
sued because the validity Of mini
mum wage laws was before the
courts. The United States supreme
court, over year ago, upheld the
Oregon minimum wage law, but the
Wisconsin decision is yet without eff
feet. Trade unionists insist that if
$3.50 was living wage in 1914, $3.50
is necessary now.
1t is shown that the average indi-
Gated wage of Wisconsin working
women today is between So and 50
a week, at least 81 short of the min
imum of four years ago, and SIS
short of the estimate for today.

BARRIERS UNION

Local No. ia, J. B. |. y. Of A,
met in regular session last Monday
evening with President C. L. Bishop
in the chair. This is the first meet
ing over which he has presided for
some time, he having just recovered
from a severe sick spell.
Representatives of the Newark
Leader, Messrs. julius Juch, son
Oscar and E. H. Franklin, were well
come visitors. Mr.. Juch and Mr..
Franklin spoke at length of the
achievements for the first six months
of life the Leader has enjoyed and
the flattering progress made in in
creasing the subscription list. Par
ticular attention was called to the
great number Of Newark business
men who, as advertisers, are acRnOW-
Lodging the advantages secured
through the columns Of the Leader,
thus proving their friendly attitude
towards organized labor and their
Willingness to advance its interest.
All union men should read these ad
vertisements and patroniZe only those
firms who think the trade Of union
men and women is worth asking for.
Every business and profession in the
city is represented, and there is a
wide field to choose from.
Local No. ia is anticipating an
other heavy draft on the membership
for the army We have already lost
several and a great number are with
in the draft age and no doubt will be
called during the summer. The Inter
national BARRIERS Union has, up to
this time, contributed more than four
thousand to the vast hordes called to
the colors, and it is predicted that
during the year at least that many
more will be in uniform.
U. S. Stoner, who has been working
at the Warden Hotel barber shop, has
given up his job and moved to Colum-
bus, Ohio, James Satterfeld taking
his place.
1t is understood that VIM. King of
the Arcade barber shop will leave
soon, going to Ada, Ohio, where he
will pursue his studies for the summer
term. Mr.. King is the recording
secretary for Local No. ia and he
will be sadly missed. However the
local scribe joins with the many
friends of Mr.. King wishing him all
the advantages to be secured by
liberal college education.

The Minority

There's thousand ''Can' t-be-done-ers''
For one who says, 1T camp
But the whole amount of deeds that count
Is done by the latter clan.
For the Can t-be- -done-ers' grumble,
And hamper, oppose and doubt,
While the daring man who says, It CAMP
Proceeds to work it out.
There isn't a new invention
Beneath the shining sun,
That was ever wrought by the deed or thought
Of the tribe of Can't-be-done."
For the Can n't-be-done-ers'' mutter
While the "Can-bes" cool, sublime,
Make their notions" work till the others smirk,
''Oh, we knew it, all the time!''
Oh, the ''Can-bes'' clan is meager,
Its membership is small,
And it's mighty few see their dream come true
Or hear fame's trumpet call;
But it's better to be ''Can-be,"
And labor and dream and-die,
Than one who runs with the Can't-be.dones'
Who haven't the pluck to try!

water might be a brackish well a
hundred feet deep, and where no
supplies of any kind could be OBJ
tanned. 1t was often necessary to
remain in the field throughout the
! hot season, when the temperature
rose to over one hundred and ten
degrees Fair. in the shade. 1t will
be readily understood that in these
circumstances high organization
and much energy and determine
tion were, required from all con.
cerned in the work.
In the digging of these channels,
the main one as wide as the Thames
at Windsor, thousands of natives
were employed. What they great
ly feared were the man eating
tigers which prowled around the
camps at night. Armed sentries
had to be posted at each camp af-
ter dusk to drive these brutes
away. As it was, they succeeded
in carrying off several workmen,
causing much panic among the men.
On this reclaimed land there are
now hundreds of thriving villages,
and a population of over a million
souls. Two million acres of crops
now grow annually on land which
was once waste.
As already stated, some ten mil.
lion acres of land are irrigated
from tanks. These are not tanks
in the sense which we attach to the
term, but veritable lakes or reser-
voirs of vast extent. Many of
them are natural valleys or gorges,
closed by dams, behind which the
waters are impounded. There are
more than thirty thousand of these
tanks in Madras Presidency alone.
In Mysore there are forty thousand
tanks-three or four to the square
mile. These are a source of anxiety,
because if a food happened to
burst one, others in the vicinity
would be swept away. There is a
dam in Mysore 142 feet high across
a valley near Marakinave, enclos-
ing a basin of 2,075 square miles,
containing, if it were filled, which
does not often occur, 30, 900, ,0O0.-
600 cubic feet of water, sufici-
ent to cover the whole county
of Shropshire to a uniform depth
of a foot. Yet this is only a tank"
according to Indian reckoning.
The erection of these dams, or
tanks, deserves to rank among the
engineering wonders of the world.
That recently built across the Peri
var River is a daring piece of work.
1t towers 178 feet above the bed of
the stream, is nearly two miles in
length, and impounds 13, 300, ,O00,-
600 cubic feet of water to supply
the whole Madura district, having
an area of about 1900 square
miles.

sugar-cane, and rice takes most
of all. It is estimated that one
million cubic feet of water are re-
quired to irrigate six or eight
acres of ricefeld. Other crops are
millet, jute, gingelly, indigo, lin
seed; some of these are spring
crops, others autumn, and all re-
quire suitable soils and varying
amounts of irrigation. Then, again,
besides the character of the soil
and crops, the natural dispositions
of the land determine what kind of
irrigation must be adopted. There
are three great systems-canals,
tanks, and wells. Thus out of the
fifty-three millions of acres so far
reclaimed we find nineteen millions
are irrigated by canals, sixteen
millions from wells. ten millions
from tanks, and eight millions
from "other sources"
Those who imagine that the ar
tifcially-built canals are mere
bitches may be surprised to learn
that the main channels are as wide
and as deep as the largest rivers in
this country. The Great Ganges
Canal, with its distributing chan
nels, is nine thousand nine hundred
miles long. 1t is responsible for
the watering of one million seven
hundred thousand acres. The main
canal is two hundred feet wide and
ten feet deep, and it crosses four
great torrents.
It serves a tract of country three
hundred and sixty miles distant
from its head works. Two rivers,
two hundred feet and three hum
dred feet wide respectively, are
carried over it in masonry aque-
ducts. The canal crosses the So
lani Valley by an aqueduct and
embankment two and three-quar-
ters miles in length. At this spot
seven Thousand cubic feet of water
passes each second, and the water
way is one hundred and seventy
feet broad and twelve feet deep.
Then there is the Chenab Canal,
in the Punjab, a more recent enter
prise, which is fed by the waters
of the Chenab River. It COM
prises some two thousand eight
hundred miles of channels, spread
ing like the veins of a mans hand,
over a tract of country little less
than four thousand six hundred
and fifty square miles in extent
almost one-tenth the area of Eng
land, and half the cultivated area
of Egypt. This large area was all
Grown waste land, virtually desert,
before the canal was made.
The laying out of this scheme
was a very arduous task. The

gave the locals an unmerciful
drubbing, thereby putting an end
to their long list of victories. The
Silver Bow team is a strong anna
teur organization-in fact, they
closed the season in Minneapolis
holding second place.
Saturdays game was anybody's
game up to the ninth inning. The
visitors then launched an avalanche
of hits, which were assisted by
numerous errors, allowing them to
have regular 'merry-go-round,"
which resulted in ten scores cross
ing the home plate before the side
was retired.
The locals were unable to figure
in the score column till the fourth
inning. Then by getting two sue.
cessive hits and one stolen base,
Brad scored on Jams sacrifice fly
to left field. In the eighth frame
the locals managed to get two more
runs. Wells hit out a safe one
and stole second. East drew a
pass and both runners were ad-
vanced one station each by a
passed ball and scored on Bran's
hit. This ended the locals score
record.
The visitors started their scoring
record in the opening chapter by
getting one man safely around the
circuit. In the second frame they
came back with a repeater by get
ting another man all the way
around. Then in the sixth frame
they were allowed to score again
on base hit, a stolen base and an
error. In the seventh they sue
ceeded in getting another on an
error, a stolen base and hit.
All through the game storm
clouds were gathering upon the
horizon for the locals, but this,
however, did not develop into any.
thing serious till the ninth frame.
Then, horrors upon horrors, the
storm broke with all its fury! Wells
was driven from the box after one
man had been put out and eight
runs scored. Lee then relieved
Wells but he allowed one hit which
brought in two more scores before
the side was retired. This gave
the visitors ten scores in a ninth
inning rally, which is something
that has. never occurred before in
the annals of baseball history in
our Silent City.
Wells seemed to be in poor form
to pitch winning ball. This could
be plainly seen by the number of
batsmen he hit and batters he
passed on balls. Nevertheless it
was a good game till the ninth in
ming, the score standing at that
stage of the game 4 to 3 in favor
of the visitors. Wells complete
collapse in the ninth spoiled it all,
although he was not entirely to
blame, for his team mates were all
up in the air, as there were six
costly errors credited up to them
in this one inning.
Kruger pitched superb ball all
the time he was on the mound. He
allowed six hits and struck out ten
men in seven innings. He was a
left handler and he kept up a con-
tinual fire of baflers. When there
was man on first base, one could
never tell where he was going to
deliver the ball, either to the catch
er or first baseman. Crawford,
who relieved him in the eighth, had
good speed as we'll as an exception
ally slow ball. He struck out three,
passed one and allowed two hits.
