-FOUR SPEED DEMONS
To HAVE TRIALS At
INDIANAPOLIS TODAY
Br Associated Pressl

Indianapolis, Ind, May 29-The last
few hours are the shortest, at least,
that is the opinion of number of
race drivers who planned a long day
of work in final preparation for the
500 miles automobile race to be held
at the indianapolis motor speedway

to be done before they are willing to
pronounce their mounts in perfect con-
ditions, they said, but all expected to
be ready at post time.
-Four drivers are yet to qualify their
cars for the contest. They will take
their trials this afternoon and must
drive at a speed of not less than oO
miles ar hour to earn the right to
compete with 25 others for nearly
500 1000 in prizes which will be dis
tributed to the first ten cars to finish
tbe contest. Howard WilsoX, Frank
Davidson, William Gardner and Jack
Curtner are the men who have failed
to date to get their machines in shape
to qualify.
The field scheduled to start tomor-
row is said by followers of the sport
TO he the best that ever participated

lny Associnted Pressl

Chicago, May Maintenance Of
way employees Of the nations rail-
ways today face $48,000,000 wage
reduction effective July I. The rail-
road labor board last night promui-
gated an order which affects 100000
men. This order, the $400,000, 900
slash of last July and orders affect
ing other classes, if they carry the
same ratio of reductions, would place
labor where it was before the $780,
100000 increase of May, 1910.
Impending decisions governing the
wages of 100000 railway shopmen,
100000 clerks, telegraphers, station
employees and other classes, were
expected to follow closely upon last
nights order, which cut the pay Of
maintenance of way workers from. l
to cents an hour.
With their settlement over work
ing rules still pending, the "big four"
brotherhoods and the switchmen are
not yet involved in any wage dispute
before the board. These classes re-
ceived a IL per cent reduction last
July.
Immediate consideration of last
nights order by the executive coun-
Gil of the United Brotherhood of
Maintenance of Way Employees was
in prospect today, with the predic-
tion by B. M. Jewell, head of the
railway department of the American
Federation of Labor, that the de-
cision will be rejected when submit
ted to vote of the men.
Brotherhood officials characteriz-
ed the cut as "indefensible," assert
ing that the case they presented to
the board did not warrant the reduc-
ton.
The three labor members Of the
board returned dissenting opinion
to the order. The wage cut decision
was signed by the three members
representing the public and three
railroad members.
Money saved by the wage wage re-
ductions will be expended in much
needed maintenance work, according
to reports of the roads to the board.
Starting of this neglected work will
offer employment to 100000 addi-
tional men, it was said.
Wages of maintenance of way en-
ployees, now ranging from % to 40
cents an hour, will, after July 1,
range from 23 to 35 cents. Common
labor suffered the biggest cut. This
class numbers about $4,000 en-
ployees, who face a reduction of 5
cents an hour along with $1,000 men
who work at shops, roundhouses and
yards.
Section, track and maintenance
foremen will take Scent reduction,
, while mechanics not under the shop
, crafts agreement were cut cents
, and mechanics helpers l cent.
In its order the board expressed
the belief that after the reductions
are made common labor on the rail-
! roads will still be receiving higher
wages than similar labor in most
: other industries.

out of the armed march last summer,
faced Judge J. M. Wood, when he re-

Trial of William Blizzard, which
resulted after five weeks, in his ac-

of treason against him, left attorneys
and every one else concerned in the
cases fatigued, and proposals for ad-
Journment until August were under
consideration with prospect of agree

1t was expected that defense at
torneys would win their contention to
make release under bond of the eight
defendants now in Jail one of the con-

the next term, and that before ad-
journ the prosecution would designate
which man and which charge would be
next for trial.

DISCUSS FACTORS IN
MAKING FARM SUCCESS

During the past week four farm man
agement meetings were held in this coun-
ty at which A. W. Manchester, the farm
management specialist and County
Agent Harold F. Johnson discussed i'm
portant factors which affect the farmers
business. Mr.. Manchester pointed out
that the average Connecticut farm to
be successful. must aim toward having
the business big enough. By big enough
business we mean business that IS
worth at least in gross income two and
one-haf items as much as the actual la
Dor put In on the farm. On one farm
In the county, at one of these meetings
an estimate of the value of the labor
was made, putting the value of the own
ers labor on a purely commercial bus
mess at $500, the wife's labor for farm
work at s22S, monthly help at $3.50. 9TH
er help at $174. This gives a total value
of all labor on this farm of about s15S2
Tor the year. Multiply this by two and
one-half gives us 1896. In other words
TINS farm must turn off products during
the year which would be equal to better
than $4,000 if it would be even moderate
ly successful with the above mentioned
! amount of labor.
| The productiveness of the stock on the
| farm was another factor discussed at
that whether it was poultry or dairy
stock or hens it made no difference in
| particular. A good hen should produce
| around $50 eggs IN the year and from a
| large number Of records should have
been kept in the state it was estimated
| that any man who had an average in
come of less than $50 per year per COW
as not making anything from his cows.
The crop yields was another import.
ant consideration. Any man that is get
ting less than $50 bushels of potatoes
per year, unless he has an exceptiona
market is not making much While the
man VINO IS getting yields of well ovel
| zoo bushels to the acre and NAV have
market that is none too good may
make fair thing. The average dafr,
| man who is growing less than 10 tons o
sllage per acre is severely handicapped
while the man who is growing Is ton

that many men in this county are grow.

80 hours of labor per acre to grow a.
acre of oats and if farmers in New Lon
don county seeded down in corn and Ief
oats out of the rotation it would leav
available considerable amount of labo
which would be used much more profit
