/ |. w W.
Dushack went to Vancouver, B.
/ c., with instructions to visit Boil
ermakers' and Iron Shipbuilders'
Local Union No. 1914, of that city.
| which, was reported to have par
| ticipated in the referendum vote
now being taken by the Western
Canadian Unions on joining the
One Big Union and to have decided
upon that course. The report,
Dushack found, was true, but he
! declares his belief that a large ma
| jority Of the Vancouver, B. c.,
unions will reconsider the move
made and decide to remain in the
International Brotherhood of Boil
ermakers and Iron Shipbuilders,
and the American Federation of
Labor.
Dushack attended a meeting Of
Local 1914 to talk over the situation
with the Vancouver men, and will
make a report to the Executive
Board of the Boilermakers' Broth
ehood on the result of his visit.
Il am not at liberty to discuss
the unions action or the Brother
hoods plans" said Dushack, "but
as an individual l am free to say
that the One Big Union leaders
seem to be playing fast and loose
with the unionists of Canada. They
have made promises that they know
they cannot carry out, and they
have deliberately deceived the rank
and file of the Canadian unions re-
garding the support their move
ment is obtaining.
For example by propaganda lit
erature they are circulating in Van
couver and by talks their organ
izers are making, the members of
the Vancouver A. F. of l.. unions
are led to believe the o. B. L.
movement is sweeping like wild
fire; that the Seattle labor move
ment has Endorsed it and is about
to secede from the A. F. Of L.; and
that other Coast cities have taken
or about to take like action.
"The basis for these misrepre-
sensations is the fact that the labor
movement in Seattle and other
Coast cities has Endorsed or is con-
sidering favorably a plan for the
reorganization of the American
Federation of Labor recently pro-
posed by the Seattle Central Labor
Council, which is legitimate in its
aims and objects and is not a dis
ruptive plan.
THE o. B. U. propagandists are
purposely confusing this plan with
the o. B. U. and seeking to make
the Canadian unionists believe that
the o. B. Z. plan is the one in
dorsed. Which there is no need to
tell Seattle unionists, is entirely
false.
These Misrepresentation are
being made, of course, for the pur-
pose of influencing the referendum
vote of the Canadian unions and
there is no denying the fact that
many unions have voted to join the
o. B. u, but misrepresentation
have influenced such action in
large measure"

BOON FOR INDUSTRIES.

The great countrywide boom for
good roads, given impetus by the ap-
preparation by the recent democrat
ic congress of 100000, 900 to aid
the states in highway work, is prov
ing a great boon to industries that
probably would have Jagged during
the period of transition from war to
peace activities.
During the war, almost the entire
output Of fuel oil was used for war
purposes. Now the asphalt pro-
ducts derived from this oil are be-
ing used on roads. Tar products
that could not be. produced during
the war are going back into the con-
struction and maintenance of high
ways. Producers Of stone, gravel,

LOSS FROM EROSION
IN UNITED STATES
Trouble Occurs in Every State in
the Union.
Terracng Is the Most Effective Meth
cd of Stopping Washing Away of
SoiI-Other Means That
May Be Employed.

prepared by the United States Departs
ment OF Agriculture
Soil erosion, OF the washing away
of earth by water, costs the farmers
of the United States 100000 every
year. Soil losses from this cause occur
in every state of the Union and in ai-
most every county of every state. Nine
years ago the National Conservation
congress reported that 100000. acres
of farm land had been practically
ruined by soil erosion.
Terracing IS the most effective
method Of stopping erosion. Other
means that should he employed in con-
nection with terracing are deep plow-
ing, growing cover crops. blowing I'M
der organic matter, contour blowing,
and undertaking.
Since erosion is due largely to the
rapid movement of the rain water
over the surface of the ground, meth
ods of preventing erosion must cause
the water either to sink into the soil or
drainage channel. If the rain water
were absorbed by the soil as fast as it
falls. there would be very little ero-
sion.
III order to drink up surface wafer
rapidly soil must be very permeable,
which means that it must contain fair
~ large open spaces through which
the rain water can pass easily, or
where it can be stored temporarily
| Some soils are naturally very perme-
able A number of ways of increasing
the pelmeability of soil are deep
plowing, blowing under organic matter
such as manure, stubble. stalks and
cover crops: the practice of tile drain
age and, in certain soils, the use OF
explosives.
