MIXED TO MUSIC

II. NJ. Harvey of Poughkeepsie, N. Y. contends that music will induce a COW to give more milk than she would if not thus encouraged and soothed. Tests have been made with Guernsey and Holstein cows, and they, after be- ing milked dry, gave more milk when an electrically operated phonograph was started.
 Other cows were milked with the photograph playing continuously dur ing the milking period, and gave from 10 to 12 per cent more milk than their usual volume.
 "The music which accomplished this feat was classical, all of a. slow meas ured cadence" says the Milk News.
 This may be the real solution for the high cost of living problem. Who knows? A phonograph in every hencoop might increase the supply of breakfast eggs A piano in the pigpen may produce larger slices of bacon.

 More than 10000 union railway men in Chicago and several hundred at Buff fslo and at Champaigne. Ill., were on strike. Many hundreds of men in Chi cago packing houses were thrown out of work for lack of livestock
 Two outlaw" organizations, branded up the established brotherhoods as "rump' unions, had sprung up to ehal- lenge the right of the labor heads to lead their men.
 Iii the face of this opposition from within, the brotherhoods of engineers. trainmen. firemen and enginemen, and the Switchmens Union of North Amer ica. pledged their support to railroad officers in breaking the walkout, and to that end union railroad men throughout the country have been urged to report to Chicago and serve as strikebreakers.
 Wlue differences or opinion existed ss to how many men were out Charles Riley, vice president of the Chicago Iardmens Association, which called the original strike. said 14,000 switch men and 5000 engineers were idle, but railroad officers and brotherhood heads secuted his figures as too large They admitted however, they had no fig ures on which to base counter claims
 One of today's developments was the formation of new outlaw organ Hation, the National Enginemen's As- sociation, by striking members of the Brotherhood of Engineers and Brother hood of Bremen and Enlightenment
 Announcement was made by the striking engineers and the Chicago Yardmens Association which en- gineered the strike of the switchmen that branQhes of the two new unions would be formed throughout the coun- try and that strikers would be called out elsewhere in sympathy with the Chicago movement and in an effort to fierce wage advances.

VOTE LATE FRIDAY ON RESOLUTION ID DECLARE WAR ENDED
Completion of Minority Re- port By Democrats Yes terday Clears Way for
 Beginning Debate
By Associated Press

Washington, April 7.-Final deter imitation was reached today by repub- lican leaders in the House to bring to a vote in that body late Friday the resolution to declare the state of war with Germany at an end. A special rule reported today by the rules com mittee provides for six hours debate on Thursday and five hours on Friday, after which opponents of the resolu tion may offer only a motion to re- commit
 Completion today of the minority report. presenting views of democratic mem bers of the foreign relations com mittee on the resolution, cleared the way for the long debate. Representa- tive Flood of Virginia, ranking demo- cratic member of the committee, pre- senting the minority report, challenged the power of Congress to bring the war legally to an end. and characterized section five of the resolution as "an attemptzsto preserve something out of sck of American rights which h4 V been so outrageously surrendered in former sections of the resolution
 From whatever angle this resolu- ton is viewed" he continued sit pre- sents itself as a proposition not only ineffective in achieving it's procis inlecl purpose, but as a sure method of con fusing our foreign relations, injecting new and complicated questions into an already difficult situation and involv- ing surrender of American rights and an impairment of American prestige and honor"
 The minority report took particular exception to the statement in the pre- amble of the resolution that the Presi- dent had informed Congress the war was at an end.
 At no time and under no circum : stances has the President made any such assertion the report said. Tt Is true that, on the signing of the armis- tice. the President, in the course of an address to Congress, used the words the war thus comes to an end
 But he spoke of actual hostilities, as everyone knew. and not of the tech nical state of war. It takes a treaty to end war.
 'The drafters of the resolution, and the members of the committee on for eign affairs who voted for it, knew that this was the case.
 By quoting this statement of the President as the basis for this resolu- ton. the authors of the resolution lay themselves open to the charges of in- sincerity and sharp practice
 The supreme court recently declared that what the President had done did not announce the legal termination of the war" the report declared. citing the decision in the Kentucky distiller- ies case.
 Representative Flood asserted that sections of the resolution restricting trade with Germany or seeking to re- peal wartime legislation were within the power of congress but cited many

 Leaders on both sisles who informally canvassed the. Senate vote refused to comment on the probable outcome. It was said however forty democrats and thirteen republicans were against the training plan. In this situation, a movement was begun aiming al the substitution of programme of volun- tary training.
 There was sharp debate today on the training scheme, which was commend ed and conemned, but the sum total of action was the decision to postpone from 1921 to 1922 the date on which the plan would be put into force. This was done with less than dozen senators in the chamber.
 Senator Wadsworuh, republican oi New York, in charge of the bill, de- clared the regular army would never be big enough to defend the country. urg- ing adoption of the training plan. he contended the Senate bill. including the framing scheme. would cause an annual maximum expenditure of sT00 900. 900 or but one-twentieth as much spent for the army alone during eighteen months of the world war

Representatives of the states our- side of Texas demanded that federal quarantine be invoked against the whole of Texas, unless its citizens agreed to abolish cotton growing completely in in- Tested areas for three years
 The Texans, led by Governor Hobby. presented a counter plan, to allow cot ton planting this year under strict re- gionai quarantine, with a promise te prohibit the cropping in 1921 if the boil wor mappeared. The Louisiana delegation assured the board that by voluntary action already undertaken, backed uI with a special session Of the legislature. the growers would abstain from crop ping the lands on which the worm has been discovered.
 There was considerable heat in the ar guments before the board, especially when Dr. C. L. Marlett, it's chairman, said flatly that the Texas growera and state government had failed to back uf the government in it's fight on the pest and were now advancing a proposition which might make eradication Of the worm impossible. The Texans retorted with the assertion that the board
