Id Shop Men On Strike.

&c employees in the shops OF
number of railroad systems of the
country have gone out on strike this
week, and their leaders report that
275.OOO men have quit work through
out the country. The strike is not
sanctioned by the officials of the
unions, but seems to be caused by the
never-ceasing demands OF the work
men themselves, vino have no regard
for their contracts with the railroads.
At Huntington. W. Va, the EN-
piovces in the great shops of the Ches-
apcake g. Ohio Railroad went out yes
terday, whereupon the railroad Of
ficials at once discontinued all coal
and freight traffic and announced that
beginning today no passenger or
freight trains west of Clifton Forge
would be run. This will throw out OF
employment many thousands of train
EMPLOYEES and coal miners, and will
cause widespread loss and suffering.
Men are out on strike in various sec
tons of the country, and the threat is
made that they will tie up all the rail-
roads if their demands for IS cents an
hour and other privileges are not COM
piled with.
1t looks as if the railroads may as
we'll have the issue fairly fought cut
right now. The employees are never
satisfied, they are utterly unreason-
able, and there is no way to meet their
never-ending claims. A tie-up will of
course be the cause Of appalling dis
aster and suffering, but the issue may
as we'll be met now as at any other
time.

THE Department of Justice an
nounces that suits will be brought al
once against the five great meat pack
ing firms of the United State for viola
ton Of the antitrust laws. The object
of the action is to bring down the high
cost Of living. This may or may not
be accomplished, but one benefit that
will be derived, doubtless, will be the
throwing of light in the dark places
and the showing up of some of the
secrets of these unholy cOmbina-
tion..
The question arises, where can be
found an incorruptible and courageous
Judge to try such cases?

THE report OF the Federal Trade
Commission, made public in Washing
ton yesterday, gives Official information
as to why shoes are sold at such ex-
orbitant prices The packing houses
start the pyramiding by demanding
enormous prices for hides, the supply
of which they control; on top of this
the tanners take"exceptional profits"
the shoe manufacturers demand "un-
usual margins" and the retailers
charge prices that "are not justihable."
OF. course everybody already knew
that this was true, but now comes the
official confirmation. AS to the rem
edy, the report is bit hay, though il
does make some suggestions, one OF
which strikes US as being good thing,
namely: To require the selling price
OF The manufacturer to the retailer TO
be stamped on the shoe so that the
final purchaser may see how much profit
is being charged. The commission de-
clares that everybody connected with
the manufacture and sale Of shoes is
taking unprecedented profits"

THE War Department advocates a
bill before Congress by which all

AFTER all is said and done, the
chief cause of the high cost of living
is greedineSS. Nobody seems salts
fed with reasonable profits any more,
and by the time the articles of house
hold necessity, and goods in general,
reach the consumer the original cost has
been augmented many times. Just as
one homely illustration, it is said that
on the Pacific Coast prunes are selling
at eight to ten cents a pound, while the
same product costs the consumer thirty
to forty cents by the time it gets East.
While the government is Investigating
it might try to find out why ten-cent
prunes are jumped to forty cents-and
so with other supplies. And then when
it finds out who are the profiteers-
well, what can be done about il?

THE high cost of living is still hold
ing its own and going strong, but We
have an idea that there are breakers
ahead for the profteers. Their
kreedinesS is going to bring them to
disaster. for the people have about
reached the limit of patience.

THE fourteen principal railroad
unions have rejected President Will
sons proposition to create a commits
sion TO consider their demands for in
creased pay, and say that the wage
question must be settled Immediately
They admit that the railroads are not
earning enough to pay the increase,
but insist that Congress shall appro7
pirate sufficient money to make UP the
deficit
This would be very nice for those
who get the benefit of such an extra
ordinary arrangement-but where does
the man who eventually footS the bill
come in?
Shepherdstown register. [volume] (Shepherdstown, Va. [W. Va.]) 1849-1955, 1919-08-07

IT looks very much as if the rail-
road employees are overplaying their
hand in their demand for another in
crease in wages. They are already
the best paid class of workmen in the
world, but they are unsatisfed and
want still more, apparently not caring
a darn about the injustice to other
folks. There will certainly be a re-
action against their unreasonable de-
mandS, for the burden is getting
heavier than the country can carry.

THE proposition of the employees
for the naturalization of the railroads
may prove TO be a blessing in disguise
for the stockholders. Perhaps some
of the income may then be used for
payment of honest interest instead OF
being absorbed in eXtravagantly high
wages

THAT solemn old humbug of body,
the United States Senate, is mighty
hard TO please. After Quarreling and
grumbling for the past six months
because the President would not fur
nish it the full details of the Allies

ly indignant because he has turned
over TO it the railroad controversy.

JEFFERSON COUNTY FARM
NOTES.
LOOKING FOR SEED WHEAT.

LOOKING FOR SEED WHEAT.
T. w. Wood & Son, seed house,
Richmond, Va, had q man in the coun-
ty iaquiring for an unlimited quantity
Of seed wheat. The requirements were
a fair yield and known standard va
riety. We are not inclined to think
that the best seed should be bought UP
and sent out of the county. However,
when farmers are producing good
product if it isn't readily saleable al
home he can send it away in justice to
himself.
BEST YIELDING VARIETIES.
From most reports of threShed wheat
two varieties stand out as good yield
erS. One is Leaps Prolific, smooth
wheat, most of which seed comes from
A. H. Hoffman's seed house, Lands
vile, Pa The other is Miracle, or
often known as Multiplier, Stone Peck,
or Marvellous. Some time this wheat
gives good results when seeded a half
a bushel to the acre. But all expert
ment stations report best results when
six or seven peckS are seeded. 1t has
yielded good at various stations.
APPLYING LIME OR MARI.
A point worth considering has come
where land is often worked smooth and
then lined. The best farm practice
has always been to apply lime, lime
stone or marls when the ground is in
the rough after blowing. This is so
the material will fall into the open
nlaces. and will be worked into the
ground subsequently, This certainly
Should be done when seeding alfalfa
Immediately after lining. However,
mari can be spread on land at odd
times when the land will be plowed and
worked. 1t has been found by well
conducted experiments that burnt lime
does not work down in the soil any
faster than limestone finely ground,
strange as this may seem.
EXHIBIT AT THE HORSE SHOW.
We are preparing an exhibit show
ing wheat diseases and control, and ala
so how to test soils for acid. Wrap
a bit of soil YOU may want tested and
bring it with you and have it tested.
