CO. OPERATION VS.. DISRUPTION.

No stronger blow has been delivered straight
from the shoulder against the direct action IDEA
in industrial economics than that which Johll
f. Davidson struck before the Dominion trades
congress a few days ago. Davidson is mem
Der of the British parliament, national organ
izer of the iron founders union and traternal
delegate from the labor organizations OF the
United Kingdom, and this is what he said about
the futility of the direct action weapon:
We have tried and time again to defeat
constituted authority Of the country by Oh
rect action and always have failed If, with
our great organization. have been unsuccessful
in our attacks on the ,:ernment--whch after
all is the expression l2nOcratic opinion-hoW
cen you hope win in this country? The result
of direct action is dissipate your financial re-
sources nflict great hardship on your women
and children and depreciate the industrial eff
iciency of the worker. Finally, hunger defeats
you.
His advice based upon his experience, was
that his hearers should go out into the highways
and bvways and persuade men to become units
in their organization and then by harmony and
cooperation and not by disruption they would
reach the success they coveted through the bal
lot box If this is the message that such a man
brings as representing the industrial sentiment
Of his country, there is hope for the growing be-
lief that the miners and their supporters will
drop the threatened national strike and take up
the offer of increased wages based upon spe-

THE G. WASHINGTON BREW.

New York Sun: The New York
public library, in it's bulletin, an
nounces most interesting manu-
script discovery. Somebody sent to
the library an old notebook which
appeared to contain roster of the
regiments raised in Virginia in 1857
| for the last Of the wars between the
English and the French of Canada
An examination of the relic by Mr.
Victor Hugo .Paltsits, keeper of manu-
scripts in the library, proved not only
that the roster was genuine but that
it was written by George Washing
ton. The writing has been compared
with some of Washington's early let
tiers in the -ary of congress and
it's authenticity has been confirmed
de visu by the foremost of Washing
ton specialists, Mr. Worthington c.
Ford.
Colonel Washington's notes, made
in that period of his life which lay
between his defeat at Fort Necessity
and his victory at Fort Duquesne, re-
late principally to military affairs.
But as an example of Washington's
spelling, punctuation and capitaliza-
ton it is best to offer the longest
item in the book. 1t happens not to
relate directly to preparation for
war:

Nothing Is said about the wisdom
of using patent shoppers or crown
caps. Men Of those stern days man
aged with something else.
To many persons who burn the
midnight OF in the cellar the item
we have quoted will be further proof
Of Washington's manysided great
ness. Now that the library has pub
lished its find, there is scarcely a
subject of present day interest-bar
the motion pictures-upon which the
writings of the Father of His Coun-
try do not shed some light and COM
fort.

WAR PRICES PASSING.

A great cotton manufacturing concern when
iemploys ten thousand operatives has cut by one
third It's prices cotton goods. SO many
orders had been Cancelled and the market was
getting into such disturbed state that the
company realized that if something was not
done conditions might force a total cessation OF
output and ideness for an indefinite period OF
all its hands
According to government reports, approx
mately two hundred and forty-elght articles OF
food, clothing and manufactured commodities
now have been forced into the retail and whole
sale price slashing movement which is spread
ing over the entire country. Retail price cuts
have been reported in foods, shoes, hats, men S
and women's clothing, both cotton and wooden;
and bituminous coal has slumped from two dol
lars to three dollars per ton in eastern cities
Groups of commodities in which wholesale
price decreases have been reported are farm
products, foods, clothing and cloth, and chem
icals and drugs.
Signs multiply that the era of wartime prices
is at an end; and the problem of business i'll
many lines is to adjust itself to the new order
Who is going to stand the loss? The answer is
indicated by the reply to this question from q
Chicago banker:
The daily Gate City and constitution-Democrat. (Keokuk, Iowa) 1916-1922, 1920-09-29

Lowering of commodity prices is step in the
right direction, but many OF hope it will not
too fast. Many merchants have stocks
bought at higher prices than prevail in the
wholesale markets and many manufacturers have
materials purchased at prices higher than
those at present
Prices are being reduced and there is bound to
be loss. Il is the hope of many OF that this
loss may be spread equitably, that the merchant
will accept his share and the public will be
sonable We do not wish to prices come
down with such crash that many merchants will
be forced to the wall. With prices being lowered
we believe a point Will be reached where the pub
lie will to believe it is being fairly treated
and will buy goods freely That will stabil-
iZe demand and bring about better basis for all
industry It will mean there will be employment
and more rational basis of living for the whole
country

Is one OF Walton's suggestions as a
method OF obtaining them. "In a
very dry time. when you are put to
an extremely for worms, walnut
leaves squeezed into water, or salt
in water, to make it bitter or salt,
and then that water poured on the
ground, where you shall see worms
are used TO rise in the night, will
make them 10 appear above ground
presently" This plan will sometimes
bring TO the surface a few dying
squirmers, but not in any consider
able numbers. There surely must
be a more reliable method that will
yield an ample supply Of bait in the
driest Of weather.
An angler should have at least
little knowledge Of worms and their
ways, and 10 has often been noted
that il is useless to dig soil that has
previously been dug or cultivated.
There is good reason for this. Worms
must have moisture and soil that has
been spaded over is generally too dry.
The old wood pile or wood shed
is by far the most certain place dur
ing a drought Under rubbish OF
any kind will be found worms IN
abundance no matter how dry the
weather conditions, as the soil re-
mains very moist. Under the caves
Of sheds, near the rOtting timber
foundations, worms can be procured
and II so fortunate to have a chick
en-yard, this place Will yield a
plentiful supply. The most Import
ant thing To- be remembered is that
soil should always be chosen that
has not been disturbed. The outer
margin Of pig pens or back OF a
barn where straw, hay and manure
have been left to rot Is an almost
certain place in dry spells, provided
The surface has not been much dis
turbed and that the under soil is
damp.

New remedies must be found from

However, salt was looked upon as
great deal OF a "cure-all" especially
among trout men in the past. salt
will always have its place In the

such as rough handling, also parasites
