GOVERNMENT BY GoMPERs.

From the Portland Telegram.

United States at the request OF the
administration issued a temporary
Injunction restraining the railway
strikers from interfering with the
operation of the roads. and Com
pers countered by threatening 10 call
general strike that would tie up all

the administration said:
mo union or combination Of
unions can under our law, dictate
TO the American Union. When the
unions claim the right to dictate to
the government and 20 dominate the
American people and deprive the
people OF the necessities OF life, then
the government will destroy the
unions. for the government OF the
United States is supreme and must

more than three million members
Of unions. They have an annual in

brotherhoods alone have million
dollars in their treasury and fifteen
million sailed away for war pur-
poses. They are fortified against at

A little over a year ago the State

Baltimore were apparently really
aroused to the vast injustice OF coun-

the city voters of both parties SEEM

The time had plainly come when
Baltimore would submit no longer.

One day instead of standing on the hard

The effect astonished him. He felt better
that night than he had in weeks. Next day
he cut two pieces of rubber from the mat
and fastened them to the heels of his shoes.

PRODUCTION OF YOUNG TREES
Unless Allowed to Overload, They viii
Not Be Injured by Rather
Early Bearing.

Growers of fruits sometimes are
alarmed because very young trees may
set rather heavy crops of fruit. Since
it is perfectly natural for fruit trees
TO bear, they will not be injured by
early production unless allowed to
overload.
AS long as a tree makes a normal
growth. fruit production will not hurt
it. Peach and plum trees may pro-
duce considerable fruit at two or three
years of age: even when only one year
old they sometimes begin bearing.
Under the long system of pruning.
which is now being so generally prac-
ticed. there is tendency for trees TO
bear more heavily and earlier than
under the old system of heavy cutting
hack. II has been noticed that despite
rather heavy fruit production at an
early age. such trees will make a fine
growth and apparently there is no in
reference with their general condi-
ton
While heavy thinning may be desir-
able in the case of young fruit trees.
they may be allowed TO bear some
fruit, and the practice of those who
pull 1t off seems to be unwarranted in
fhe face of extended observations.
