CHINESE RAIL
 MEN FORM UNIONS
Workers Insist Roads Must Not Be Used for Troop Transportation.

Picking. Oct. 6-Chinese railroad enployes have become organized in staggered the Government by their sudden determination to carry out cer- tain policies. utilization of the Chinese railways, for purposes of civil war, must stop" they declare. and give notice to the military leaders that the syndicate's consent must first be obtained before troops can be trans ported. They have also attacked the employment of an American account ant on one of the roads for the pur- pose of protecting the American creditors and they demand the dis charge of certain other foreign off, c1als, engineers and otherwise.
 In view of the recent troop concen- trations north of Tientsin and the pos s1bllfty of another inter-chieftain war with the usual injuries to the inno- cent bystande~, the prospect of a gen. eral strike in opposition is a matter of some comfort. The first real strike in the history of the railroads began when the Peking-Kalgan workers walked out They were followed by their Peking-Hankow brethren. Then the workers of the remaining roads threatened to join in and the high directors compromised in haste.
 Russ Advent Unhappy.
 The recent advent of the Russian Mission, under the leadership of A. A. Joffe, the so-called Soviet humber one diplomat" has been an unpIeas- ant coincidence, and there are rumors to the effect that the Soviet is taking active measures to organize the Chinese workers for support. On the other hand, the activities of the strikers are complicated by the efforts of certain officials to serve their ends and are political rather than economic In each case the demands include the dismissal of high officials along with other items, including the refusal to move troops without the sanction of the unionheads. The increase in in 10 per cent. and is one of the minor points.

With this in mind many of the officials are said to be making a last effort to demonstrate the impossibility of the consortiun1 principle from the viewpoint of the Chinese people. As a matter of fact the great mass of the Chinese peonIe seem apathetic to the matter and tbe majority who think at all actually an pear in favor of it.

THE MINERS FEAR OF FIRE

Nothing is so much dreaded by the miner as fire When millions of tons Of rock begin to settle down he is not when they are being spIintered in all directions and are cracking like Dis tols
 One reason why a fire in a mine is so much dreaded is because there are so teW avenues of escape open to the miners. Probably there is but a sim gle Shaft-if the mine is connected with no other-and up this, thousand or nfteen hundred feet. or more,. he must go to escape.
 In case of a fire there is liable to be panic. A panic in a church or other building on the surface is a terrible thing: then what must be a panic in mine where there are eight hundred or a thousand men perhaps san rect or more, a cageload at a time? At such times, too, there are explosions of gases which eXtinguish all Of the lights, and the men rushing to and fro are exposed to danger of tum bling headlong into scores of pit falls in the shape of chutes, winzes and other excavations.
 All these things being often in the miners mind give him wonderful de- llcacy Of nostril. He can scent a fire from afar. He knows the smell of burning fuse, of giant powder of black powder and of everything with Which fire ordinarily comes in conta ct Tn mine, and the scent of these is no more noticed than is noticed the air he breathes on the surface of inc earth; but let any unusual substance pc lgnited and. like the hunted stag, . nlS nose in the air at once.-FrOm Adventure Magazine for October.

CROPS AND PROFIT
PROBLEMS JUST NOW PRESS.
ING ON AGRICUlTURlSTS
Farmer on Low-Prleed, Fertile Lands,
Still to Be Had, 10 In Best
Possible Position.

The economic problems connected
with the advantageous marketing of
farm crops and the financing of the
movement Of those crops are pressing
upon agriculture most severely. They
Will be solved, however, and while
that solution is being worked out 1t
Is simply good sense on the farmers
part to make his efforts toward pro-
duction tell to the very maximum, as
best carrying him through the period
OF depression and hard times and
placing him in the best position to
take the greatest possible advantage
OF the better times to come. We may
repeat that the cheapest farm crop,
whether from fields or from live stock,
Is almost invariably the largest crop
which can be obtained. Or in other
words, the greater the crop, the
greater the net profit. To attain such
crops and to place himself in the ad-
vantageous position referred to above,
the farmer must study. and must apply
the results of his study to such prob
lens as soil fertility, its conservation
Ind Increase; soil moisture, Its con-
troll; cultural methods, suitable and
productive varieties, etc, etc.
The question is how can you best
accomplish and secure these things?
Can they be done on hgh-priced lands.
by paying high rents, with the prices
you get for your produce no greater
than may be had from that grown
and raised on much cheaper lands,
whose production is fully as great as
that of the high-priced lands? The
answer is unquestionably in favor of
the low-priced lands, when they are
selected because of their soil fertility
and the other requirements necessary.
1t is not the purpose here to point out
merely that the lands of Western
Canada would prove splendid and
ready solution, but to emphasize the
fact that in order to overcome your
present difficulty, to remove some of
the burden that you are laboring un-
der, you must secure some line of
cheaper operation, whether it be re-
moval to other parts in your own
country where such opportunity may
offer, or take advantage of that which
Western Canada affords.
For information regarding thes,
advantages apply to any Canadian
