MOBILIZE TROOPS
FOR STRIKE DUTY
PROTECTION TO BE GIVEN TO
NONUNION MEN-THE RAIL-
ROADS PREPARE TO OPEN
SHOPS MONDAY WITH 9TH
Err WORKMEN

Chicago, July 9.-With soldiers
on active duty in Illinois and troops
mobilized in five other states, the
ninth day Of the strike of railway
shopmen passed quietly, while
many railroads prepared to resume
active operations of their shops to-
morrow, several carriers having
warned striking employees to re-
turn by that date or forfeit seniori-
ty rights.
B. M. Jewell head of the rail-
way employees department of the
American Federation of Labor, had
nothing to say at strike headquar-
ters here and no news was forth
coming from the carriers or the
United States railroad labor board.
While the Sunday holiday was
uneventful, the rest Of the week
was fraught with possibilities. To-
morrow members Of the board, who
averted a strike of 100000 main
tenance Of way men and $4,000
sienalmeh through negotiations
with union officials last week, are
expected to confer with E. d. Fhz-
gerald, head of the clerks union,
in an effort to prevent the issu-
ance of strike orders to this orga-
nization. Confidence was expressed
here tonight in quarters close to. the
labor board that the clerks would
follow the example set by the
maintenance of way employees and
signalmen.
With the carriers urging striking
employees to return to work, prep
arations were complete on a score
Of lines to attempt to resume ac-
tive shop work tomorrow. Vacan-
cies in the ranks, according to the
railroads, will be filled by the hir-
ing Of new men. Realizing the pos
sibilities for trouble with such a
program, some Of the railroads
have asked for soldiers to protect
their shops, while others expected
to afford private protection to
those who worked.
While the railroads predicted
that many strikers would flock
back to work when assured that
protection would be afforded,
union headquarters here have
maintained that the strike is daily
becoming more effective.
With the federal courts already
intervening in a number Of places
to prevent picketing by the strik-
ers, the week was also expected to
reveal to a large e1tent the atti-
tude of the department Of justice
towards the strike. From Washing
ton came the announcement that
the department was investigating
reports that strike disorders were
interfering with the mails and
Charles Cline, United States dis
trict attorney, said yesterday he
had received instructions from At
torney General Daugherty to use
force; if necessary, to keep the
mails and interstate commerce

gions for part of its honey supply.
There is not the local prejudice to dark
honey which exists in the clover re-
giOn and in the West. All these fac
tors taken together make the region
one Of promise. The enormous num-
Der Of colonies Of bees in this region
is pointed to as proof of the great
nectar resources, and If these colonies
are given proper care vast quantities
Of honey can be produced.
The abandonment of the gums"
and box-hives and the adoption Of
modern equipment, together with prac-
tees more suited to the region, Is adj
Vised. The region, it is said, needs
more men engaged in beekeeping on
a commercial scale as chief or only
occupation. The peculiarities of the
region, however, are such as to de-
mand close study Of the business.
Careless beekeeping, it is pointed out,
is entirely Improbable, especially in
places where the main honey flow
comes so soon after the. last killing
frost of the spring.

cusses methods for carrying on the

OPPORTUNITIES FOR
KEEPING HONEY BEE
Nectar Going to Waste in Tulip.
Tree Regions.
No Question but That Area May Fun
nIsh Many Times More Product

Discusses Methods

prepared by the United States Department
of Agrtculture.)
With the tons and tons of nectar
going to waste every year in the tulip
tree region Of the United States be-
cause the colonies of bees are not
strong enough to get the full amount
of surplus, there is no question that
this area may furnish many times
more honey than it does at present.
This opinion is expressed by the Unit
ed States Department of Agriculture In
Farmers Bulletin 1922, Bookkeeping
in the Tulip-Tree Region" prepared
by e. f. Phillips and George s. De-
muth, and now available for distribu-
ton.
The tulip tree Is occasionally found
as far north as Vermont and Rhode
Island, and west to Michigan, Arkan-
sas and Louisiana. On the outer lin
its of it's distribution it is not album
dant. It is more plentiful on the
south shore of Lake Erie and rare
west of the Mississippi river, except
in Northeastern Arkansas and south
eastern Missouri. The trees are more
abundant and larger In the south
central part of its range, especially in
Tennessee, Kentucky. the western
part of the Carolinas, and in the Ohio
river basin. 1t is common throughout
the Piedmont plateau Of Maryland and
Virginia.
That this honey can be marketed at
a prof1t Is attested by the fact that
