Some Large Strikes fin 1917.

"It is difficult says the report, "to particularize the more important strikes of the two-year period, 1917 and 1918. Many of them were short and involved large numbers of em- pIoyes. In both years strikes of miners, shipbuilders, longshoremen. machinists, and workers connected with the erection of cantonments throughout the country attracted gen. eral attention.
 In 1917 probably the largest dis turbances were those that occurred in the oil fields of Louisiana and Texas; in the telephone systems in Arkansas and the Pacific Northwest; in the packing house in St. Louis and Omaha; among the sugar-cane work CTS in Porto Rico; in the sugar re- fineries in New York and Philadel- phia; among the potters in Ohio and New Jersey; in the silk mills in Ho- boken and vicinity; in the iron and steel industry in Pittsburgh; among the cigar makers in Porto Rico and New York city; matters in Danbury. Conn; shoemakers in New York city; in the various clothing industries in New York city, Philadelphia and Chi cago; in the Northwest lumber in- dustry; and the general strike in Min neapolis and St. Paul.
 In 1908 probably the largest dis | turbances were those that occurred among the tailors of New York city; ! in the textile industry in New Hamp- | shire, Rhode Island, and PhiladeI- ! phia; among the garment workers in | Chicago and the tailors in New York | city; the paper mills in Northern New York; the igar makers of New York ! and ST T.nlIiS. thn trolley tems of Buffalo, Kansas City, and St ! Louis; the molders and teamsters o1 l Chicago; the retail clerks of St. Louis ] the pressmen and walters and subway la5orers in New York city; the Gen
 eraI Electric strike; and the genera
 strike in Kansas City.
 | In 1918, in 2027 strikes and 7t llockouts, the number of persons in 1 volved was reported to be 1,102,4 All
 and 43,041. respectively, or an aver | age per strike and lockout of 5SS anC
 615, respectively. Quitting the 20t
 strikes and the lockouts in whicl
 the number of persons involved ex
 ceeded 1000 each, the average mum
 Der involved in the remaining strike
 was 113 and in the lockouts 127 per
 sons In 1917. in 2174 strikes and 4
 lockouts, the number of persons in
 volved with 1,1e3,s67 and 19,135, re
 spectively, or an average of $40 fo
 the strikes and 416 for the lockouts
 Quitting the 234 strikes and ! lockouts in which the number in
 volved was in excess of 1000. and tn .' averages are. respectively 160 and los In 1916, in 260O strikes and 64 lock i, outs. the number of persons involve, , was 1546, 42s and 53.1S2 respectively the strike average being 595 end tn . average for lockouts being s31 per

STEADY QUICK WORK REQUIRED
 TO DRY CORN

Dried sweet corn is a delicious food fully equal, if not superior, to canned corn. and capable of use for practical ly as wide a variety of purposes. Any of the varieties of sweet corn having qualities desirable for table use will
 make a good dried product. Corn intended for drying should be gather
 ed when in the milk stage, before glazing Band hardening have begun and when the corn is in an ideal con-
 dition for immediate table use. It
 should be gathered only as rapidly as it can be prepared for drying, as corn deteriorates rapidly.
 Eusk the ears and trim with q knife to remove any injuries. The silk need not be removed, as it can be readily separated from the corn after | drying Place the ears in wire bas- | kets or wire-bottom boxes and plunge l into boiling water for to 12 minutes, | or until the milk is set. A little salt | may be added to the blanching water | if desired. Divide the corn into older land younger lots before blanching, as the younger ears require somewhat
 longer cooking than the older ones. After cooking, remove corn from
 the water, allow it to drain and cool l SufflClently to pc ndlOleO anu cut | from the cobs with 9 strong sharp l knife. taking care that none of the cob is removed with the kernels. The l giumes or the hull attachments at the tip of the grains are easily l screened out after the corn becomes l dry. Spread the kernels upon trays l to a depth of one inch if drying E | done in a drier, or one-eighth to five 1 eishths inch if the corn is to be dried
 in the sun. Stir the grains thor
 oughly several times during the dry ing to break up any compact masses. It is practically impossible to bring
 corn to a sufficient degree of dryness
 by the unaided heat of the sun. II
 corn Is dried in the sun, 1t should be finished by pouring into bread pans, 1 placing in the oven of the stove, and
 warming to 160 degrees to 165 de-
 srees F. for two hours Whether the drying is done in the sun, in 8 cook stove drier, or in commercial drier
 f. should be continued until the
 erains are hard. semi-transparent and will break with clean glass-like frac- 1 lures if crushed
 Before storing, free the corn of silks. gIumes and bits Of cob. This may be done by pouring the corn
 from one vessel to another in a strons draft. When the corn is dry, store in closely woven muslin bags or heavy
 paper bags. Tie tightly at the neck
 and place within a larger muslin
 bag. which also should be tightly D tied.
 5 Do not allow the drying process tc
 -stop from the time it is started unu } the corn is fairly dry. Corn is
 product which contains considerable , sugar and protein, and if the dryins , process is allowed to stop, bacteria , are apt to develop. Protect it from 3 [ insects. If sun drying is interrupted ) by cloudy weather or showers, remove = corn to the stove and continue drying g or the product may spoiL-U- $. De Q partment of Agriculture

 The bureau has statements that 38S strikes and lockouts, occurring during the 19 months of actual warfare. were in the war industries, but inas- much as practically all the strikes in lhe shipbuilding, iron and steel, and metal trade industries, and most of those in the leather, mems clothing, and textile industries, and many or those in the various building trades, ra ailroads. and mining occupations, were connected with the war more or | less directly, the number of war strikes is doubtless much larger.
