SIX MEN OF DORSET. i"
George Lovelaee Was the First
 Organizer of Labor.

George Lovelace was born at Dor chester, England, A. D., 1894. He was farm laborer. As the wages of such were only ehillipas per weel,, he pro- ceeded to form a Laborer's Society to secure shilling per week advance.
 The following were the committee George Louelace, James Lovelace (brother9, James Hammett (brother-in- laW), Thomas Stanfeld. James Brine. and good speaker, named Clarke. These were the famous Six Men of Dorset"
 In those days farm hands lived on barley 'bannocks" and turnips, with per haps a slice of fat bacon on Sunday, other ford being too dear.
 The answer of the farmers to the deputation was to give them notice that in future their wages would be reduced to shillrngs per week, and if any more complaints were made they would bc arrested for conspiracy. A proclama- tio1 was "issued threatening to punish any man with seven years transporta- tion who jo1red trade society Love lace and his companions called a meet ing to consider the situation. This was called 'conspiracy."

 They were carried out ir the "Suc- cess" and after serving three years in the chain-gangs, the British government yielded to the agitation throughout Eng land in their favor, and thev were par doned and returned to their native coun- try, where they lived to be highly hon cred and respected.

IDLENEsS IN COAL REGIONS
President of Ohio Mine Workers Or. Uanization Gives Out Figures That
 Are Alarming.

John Moore. president of the Ohio mine workers organization. declared that out of approximately 5O.OOO min' CTS in Ohio, between l8,OOO and 2O.- 'NO were idle during the last week of
 february and approximately 15,OOO of
 his number had not worked a single fay since January l.
 Moore estimated that in the north eastern district alone there were l2,- tOO idle miners. Those having employ ment were working only Al per cent rf the time. In the southern district. which usually employs about 28,OO0, approximately 5000 were idle and the 10000 were not working more than one-fourth of the time.
 Moore attributed the idleness in Ohio mines to suspension of many business activities through the end ing of the war; the attitude of the federal administration in not buying Ohio conl, and loss Of Indiana, Illinois and Michigan markets through the fed eral fuel administrations orders estab- fishing coal market zones.
 One year ago coal production was at its highest stage in history. Every mine was working and labor was not sufficient to supply the demand. More than 2UUU women took the places of men on six steam railways in and about New York city; 2,0SO went to work In intuition factories, while nearly 5000 were employed in similar factories in the Eastern states. all be- tween the spring of 1917 and that of 1918.
 More than 5000 Chicago girls pre- sented demands for 10 per cent in- crease in wages, double time for over time, the 44-hOur week and recOgni- tiOn of their Organization-the Waist. Skirt and White Goods Workers llnion, affiliated with the International Ladies' Garment Workers union.

The money was di- vided under the direction of General Manager F. w. Wakeman.

 After a thorough investiga- tion of the subject we find that a Labor Paper is a far better advertising medium than an ordinary newspaper in comparison of circulation. A Labor Paper, for instance, with a circulation of 2,000 is of more value to the mer- chant who advertises than an ordinary newspaper with 12,000 circulation. THIS PAPER is just that sort of a paper.

States, melting pot of the nations.
When President-E Epitacio Pes
soa was here recently he said, in pub
lie address,:
Having in mind the close rela-
lions which have always existed be-
tween our two countries 1t is not sur
prising that the entrance of the United
States In the great. European con-
flict should have had a decisive In
fiuence on Brazil's procedure. To the
precious title of friend, uniting our
destinies and claiming our share of
effort and sacrifice, we added that of
ally-allied to the nation which has
just furnished to history the most
brilliant examples of ability and force.
"Now that the monstrous scourge
has disappeared from the face OF the
civilized world, and nations, impelled
by accumulated energy in the making
up of lost time, are to resume their
old life of peace and toll, Brazil will
rejoice In continuing to develop more
and more the relations of every kind
which bind her to the United States,
and to strive for this end WIN be one
of the fondest endeavors Of my gov.
ernment."
1t is thus of particular Importance
that the United States endeavor to I'M
derstand the conditions of life in this
vast melting pot of the nations. The
melting pot of Brazil is not just like
= ours. 1t seems, however, to be quite
as complicated a boiling. The racial
diversity in Brazilian society is as pro
nounced as is the variety OF its geo.
graphical groups. A study of the home
life is study In ethnology. The orig
inal Portuguese stock is found In all
phases of transition from unadulter-
ated purity through partial and com.
plete mixtures with native Indian and
negro and fusion with foreign ma.

day is melting pot Of races and ma.

These figures indicate that of the total amount of water delivered to the 219 farms, at least 33.5 per cent was wasted. If it be assumed that the av- craze waste in this manner over the entire project is one-half this percent age the total amount wasted during the season would amount to about 10000 acre feet based upon the quantity ac- tually charged for at farms.
 From the studies of the irrigation figures we believe that the waste from irrigation through the excessive appli- cation of water at one time is an equally important factor in filling up subsoils as losses from canals and lat erals. We believe, in order to curtail
 wastes of this kind, that 8 careful study should be made of irrigation
 practices to determine the quantity of
 water applied, and to reduce it's use as
 nearly as possible to the amount that the soils will absorb and retain.
 Tn order to drain the valley in such
 manner as to protect all portions of it from seepage and the concentration of
 alkali on the surface. it is necessary to
 adopt a plan which will effect a gen
 eral lowering of the water table Any
 attempt at lowering ground water over
 individual areas or small portions of
 the project will not, as heretofore stat ed, prove satisfactory.
 To effect a general lowering of the
 water table, it is necessary, in most in- stances at least. to tap the deep under lying gravel basins. Observations on | areas now affected show that with but
 lew exceptions seepage is due to the rise Of ground water into the soils. The
 pore spaces in these materials form an underground reservoir which has be- come filled. When this water is taken out. space will be provided for excess water to move downward to a s,1f- ficient depth that it will no longer in- terfere with surface conditions, This applied to practically all of the lands of the project. There are. however, a l few instances where water seems to be travelling down slopes and where it will be possible to intercept it before it before it reaches the lower areas where damage is now being done. The greater part of the drainage, however, involves the taking of water out of the soils to a considerable depth and creating res ervoir space sufficient to hold the ac- emulation of waste water below the surface.
 | The effect of lowering the ground water through pumping is we'll shown l by the experiments on the south side Here the rise in ground water from | 1913 to 1918 was A feet. On the north
 side, where no pumping was carried on the rise for the same period was 10.0 i feet.
 On the north side an experiment has 1 already been tried on Central avenue to determine the effect of pumping on the lowering of ground water. In the 1 construction of this well, which is 2S5 feet deep, no gravel or sand was en-
 countered practically the entire well
 being in caliche. The well was pumped
 for total period of 630 hours from
 November 26 to December 90 and | yielded a total of 77.9 acre feet, or at l the rate of approximately 2.93 acre feet | per day of 24 hours for the time the l pump was i'll actual operation. The
