FARMING [ABORERS
ON STRIKE IN CHILE
Refuse to Work Until Sunset
During Harvest, Accord
ing to Custom.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
SANTIAGO, Chile, April 5.-The first
farm laborers' strike in Chile was
called recently by several hundred
workers on the 20,000-acre estate OF
an Englishwoman near here While
the actual movement was confined to
one farm and involved relatively
small number of men, it attracted
widespread interest. and has been
pointed out as marking the beginning
of new era in the existing relations
between the land proprietor and the
Chilean agricultural laborer.
The immediate cause Of the trouble
it is said, was the refusal of the la
borers to continue working until sun
set during harvest. according to long
established custom in this country
the strike and announced there had
been a current of propaganda passing
between the Chilean Federation OF
Labor and workers on various farms
in the department" The workers also
demanded increased wages, dismissal
of the overseer and the right to or
ganize. The latter was granted and
the dispute finally was settled after
President Alessandri had admonished
the men to return to the fields.
Paid Is Cents a Day.
The "inquilino" system prevails on
most Of the large estates. which form
a Characteristic feature of the farm
ing region of central Chile. Under
the system the worker is given pos
session of plot of land for purposes
Of cultivation. house and rights OF
pasturage. On the estate where the
strike took place the daily wages
were so centavos (about 18 cents a,
normal exchange).
The SoutH Pacific Mail, discussing e
the strike, says relations between
the employer and employe on the
farms hitherto have been somewhat
patriarchal. The patron has been the
ultimate court of appeal, and. it might
be said, absolute master of the liber-
ties, if not the lives, of the peasantry
who are linked to these estates by
the inquilino' system. On the great
haciendas (farms) the laborers and
their families have remained for many
years in a virtual state of feudal
servitude. 1t is not surprising, there
fore, that at the present day. when
the Inconsistencies of the worker
all over the world has awakened
the Chilean peon should seek some
amelioration of his often hard lot"
The owner of the estate where the
laborers went on strike said the walk
out was the direct result of action OF
"subversive elements" She declared
she had provided her employees with
good homes. schools and medical at
tendance.

troduced by Jesse Benjamin. chairma n

sociation. and adopted without a dis
senting vote. Copies of the resolution

several thousands. He stated that a
law restricting their entrance had
been passed about eight years ago,
but lately had become lax.

lowing d short discussion.

by Clement Johnston, the association
authorized that the constitution be
changed SO that any resolution after
having been twice defeated cannot be
brought up again until the meeting fol-
lowing the annual meeting. This reso-
luton amending the constitution pre-
vents the admission of women into the

In Which Judge Croker Delivers q
Few Opinions.

Few Opinions.
The pride of Bingville had fallen In
the dust! 1t Had arisen and gone on
with sOiled garments and lowered
head. 1t had suffered derisiOn and
defeat. 1t could never be the same
again. Sneed and Sn0dgrass recov-
cred, In a degree, from their feeling
of Opulence. Sneed had become pO-
lite, Industrious and obliging. SnOd-
grass and others had host heavily in
stock speculation through the failure
of broker in Haze1mead They
went to work with will and without
the naughty independence which, for
time, had characterized their at
titude. The spirit of the Little Shep-
herd had entered the hearts and home
of Emanuel Baker and his wife. Pau
Tine and the baby were there and
being tenderly loved. and cared for.
But what humility had entered that
home! Phyllis and her husband lived
with her parents, Gordon having
taken humble place in the mill. He
worked early and late. The Bings
had made it hard for him, finding it
difficult to overcome their resentment
but he stood the gait, as they say,
and won the regard of J. Patterson,
although Mrs. Bing could never for
give him.
In June, there had been public meet
ings in the town hall addressed by
Judge Croker and the Reverend Mr..
Singleton. The judge had spoken Of
| the grinding of the mills of God
that was going on the world over.
"Our civilization has had its time of
trial not yet ended" he began. Its
enemies have been busy in every city
and village. Not only in the cities
and villages of France and Belgium
have they been busy, but in those of
our own land. The Goths and Van
dals have invaded Bingville. They
have been destroying the things we
loved. The false god is in our midst.
Many here, within the sound of my
voice, have a god suited to their own
tastes and SinS-an Obedient, tract
able, homeless god. 1t is my deliberate
opinion that the dances and costumes
and moving pictures we have seen in
Bingville are doing more injury to
civilization than all the guns of Ger
many. My friends, you can do moth
ing worse for my daughter than &C.
prive her of her modesty and / would
rather, far rather, see you STAY my
son than destroy his respect for law
and virtue and decency.
1.-THE jazz band is to me a sign OF
spiritual decay. 1t is step toward
the jungle. I hear it in the beating
of the tom-tom. 1t Is not music. 1t is
the barbaric yawp of sheer reckless
ness and daredevilism, and 1t is every
where.
''Even in our economic life we are
dancing to the jazz band with utter
recklessness. American labor Is be-
ing more and more absorbed in the
manufacture Of luxuries - embroid-
cred frOcks and elaborate millinery
and limousines and the landaulets and
rich upholstery and cord tires and
golf courses and sporting goods and
great country houses-sO that there
is not enough labor to provide the
comforts and necessities Of life.
"Fhe tendency of all this is to
put the stamp of luxury upon the
