KEEPING CIDER SWEET.

The Bureau of Chemistry at Wash
 ington announces that 1t has evolved
 a plan whereby cider may be kept
 sweet and is prepared to instruct the
 individuals in our land who have
 taken the pains to collect 1t in quan- ground, and the solids are separated from the water by a skim ming pro- cess. Thus the cider is reduced by a bout four ffths and new, sweet, cider
 may be had at any time by adding water to the concentration.
 Storrs College remarks that Some persons, having no connection with
 the Bureau of Chemistry, claim that fermented cider, partly\ frozen and the liquid drained off, gives a drink that makes one forget all about pro- hibition.' We have heard faint rumors of the "liick" that develops in frozen cider and will give you the benefit of these rumors. Farmers have been accustomed to let barrel of the stuff freeze. so we are told and have collected that which freezeth h not, but remains on the inside of the barrel and partallen of it with eX- tremely efficient results. Alcohol will not freeze, the water will if it is cold enough. And the alcohol is independ- ] ent enough to separate itself from the l water in the process. Apple brandy
 will not hold a candle to the few 1 quarts of liquid which collect in the l Earrel.
 It is too bad that the solids in 1 frozen, fermented cider may not be | kept and used as basis for the sweet cider drink spoken Of by the Bureau. l bly, it can, we have not enough 1 education in applied chemistry to say. l But if this is so the farmer might 1 easily kill two birds with one stone ! and have two drinks from the same
 source, one of which he could serve , to the parson when he made his
 weekly visit and the other which 1 might be available for entertaining
 certain classes of city boarders.

The Possessing Glass.
Providence JournaD.

An organ of the labor unions in Great Britain says with regard to the present industrial crisis in that coun- try: "The possessing class, the class which lives on the labor of others, has everything at stake." This class, 1t argues will resist to the utmost the demands of the workers who are now seeking higher wages and bet ter conditions of employment
 The trouble with all such charac- teristic statements of those papers that lare forever bent on setting one class against another is that no hard and fast line can be drawn between "capitaI' and "labor' so far as ma terial possessions go. Neither of them is the sole possessing class" In re- cent years particularly, the workers in all industries have been getting to be more and moro the possessorS of substantial accumulations of money and property. If it was ever true it is true no longer that the wage earning class is sharply divided from the employing class by reason of it's lack of funds in the bank real estate and other forms of material sub- stance.
 Wage earners are not only savings
 
 poration stocks and bonds They have automobiles, they take their pleasures lavishly, they are better off in this worlds goods than ever be- fore. Often they own not only the houses they live in but other houses, from which they derive a profit They are frequently not merely laborers but employers of labor also. They have many important interests lon the side''. They are not the down. trodden, discouraged group in the community that the agitators would have us believe.
 In sense, therefore, that the Eng 1 fish labor paper did not intend. the possessing class has every thing at stake" Labor itself is face to-face with a crisis. It has sub stantal possessions which are being jeopa rdized by Irresponsible union leadership. It is time for this idea to get solid lodgment in the heads of everybody concerned
 Millions upon millions of American worl1ingmen and Workingwomen have a direct interest in the prosperity of our insurance companies and savings ! banks, and this is based to a very I>large extent on the prosperity of our great corporations, especially our railroads these millions of workers are closely tied up with the latter. What affects the corporations affects | them. and they cannot stop the wheels of industry without injuring themselves by mcnacing the whole fabric of our national business and l finance.
 The possessing class includes prac- tically everybody worth taking into 1 account in Great Britain and Amer l ica. IL comprises all the industrious and thrifty people on either side of l the ocean who have put something l aside for a rainy day. Let them take care lest they expose their savings. 1 big or little. to the danger of loss or diminution through mad demands for 1 economically impossible concessions

THE STRIKES.

Our optimistic attitude of yesterday toward the strike of longshoremeh and freight handlers in New 1orh was d little premature as It turns oul' and the opinion that the trouble makers would go back to work has been entirely upset by the develop ments of last evening when the strik CTS met and laughed at their leaders who, the day before seemed to have met with great success in describing the walkout as pure l. w. W.ism and therefore had appealed to the men to keep their promise and remain at their post until December l.
 At the mass meeting last evening there was nothing to it but that the men Were intent upon carrying out their threat to tie up the port of New York, which has been practically realized This was in the face of ap- peals from Samuel Gompers that they remain true to their promise and keep at work for the good of the labor cause and the outright speech of their president, T. V. O'Connor, who, with other union chiefs, branded the strike as an outrage. Again, as in the past, we ask, what is inspiring this attitude of workmen?' It is a horrible condition of affairs. It may not be de- scribed as Bolshevism. as that word has come to mean the striving for - particular end, despite the worthiness of the aim. It is simply plain, out right folly of man. There is nothing back of it, unless it is the subtle prop aganda of enemies to the country, there is no occasion for it. Gompers is right, it is harming the labor cause. And any of the strikers should realize this.
 The longshoremen are being aided in their fight by various other crafts, the express drivers, for instance, and all of them seem to be acting with the same unreasonable haste, for which there is no occasion. It seems from the trend of all strikes that the labor iliS 1ilc'l io SCIIAlS d"c'S II Olll lllS ulC- tatorship of his leaders, at least his seeming leaders, and drifting rapidly toward radicalism which eventually will destroy any good that he may have obtained in his work. Foster Fitzgerald and Gompers have been unable to keep the strikers in the steel district from violence. They have advoca ted order but have not gotten it. In New York, Gompers, O'Connor, and others, have tendered their advice, born of reason. and have been met with jeers. Everything points to loss of control, possibly be- cause of the conservatism of these men. However, there is a bright side to it all, though we may go through a long period of strain before comin g from the shadow, and that is that the strikers are making true Americans, militant Americans, out of most o us and are pointing out to us the men that we must fear. The American people will triumph in this occasion, as they have before, and the tra1torous agltatOr will be smoked from his hole and properly dealt with. The begin ming of this movement is here.

 HAVE CAUSED DEATH Cherry Street Resident 4f ~ Passes Ayfay as Result
 of Infe Molar.

An infected tooth. not properly cared for in ti3ae is <believea to have caused the deaH} of Michael Nichols, of 1os Cherry s3 rt shs died early this morning in tht aartford hospital MT. Nichols had bea Ionfned to his home for several we hprior to his going to the hospital and ply recent ly his illness was adjudged<heaFious enough to cause his removal to the sff-s stitution. Since Saturday he has been in a critical condition and his death was expected hourly.
 The deceased is survived by his wife only. He was 52 years of age and had spent practically all his life in New Britain. He was a keen sports man ana hunter and accompanied the late Darius Miller on many of his an- nual hunts, acting as guide for the Miller party. For the past 33 years he had been employed in the P. & F. Corbin factory as brass worker.
 Attending physicians were puzzled for several weeks regarding the cause of Mr. Nichols illness which seemed to consist of complication of stom- ach troubles. They were of the opin- ion, however, that the infected molar was the cause of the trouble.
 The funeral will be held Wednes- day morning at o'clock from St. Jos- eph's church, and burial will be in St Mary's new cemetery.
