MERIDEN UNION PLANS BIG OUTING.
 WANTS ALL THERE
Plumbers and Steam Filters Arrang- ing for Get Together in
 Near Future.
Especial to The Labor News.)

1 Especial to The Labor News.) Meriden, July 28.-The members of Local Union No. 2I, Plumbers and Steam Filters, are going to have an
 outing. Chas. Wheeler is trying hard to get all the members together and have good time.
 There is at least one store here where you can't get a pair of non
 union shoes by mistake, for there is
 none in the store. Every shoe is a
 union made shoe. John D'Annibile's s clerks are members of the Retail Clerks, also. You get union made shoes whether you forget to ask for them or not, and that IS the place for union men to spend money earned under union conditions. All trades ] men are patronize this store for he gives all his work to union labor. There are other stores where you can
 union made shoes, but if you forget
 to ask for the label you might find you had spent your funds to help those trying to keep child labor, go- ing and to enslave their employees The nonunion painting contractors are trying hard to smash the painters union. Taking jobs at ridiculousH low figures just to get the job, if ever body of men fought the non-union shop better than the painters they sure went some. There is only one question in the painters situation here and that is shall a painter have any thing to say about the condition un- der which he works, or shall the em- ployer have full and absolute dicta- tion over the conditions?
 The non-union shop bosses are to f0- @1 the building industry here by wanting the lot and fence around 1t. While they would like very much to have the skilled men in the union working for them they also want to have the others to send on the non-union work. Every union man should get 1t se- curely into his brain that the anti union crowd here is not only after the painter but all the rest of us One would think the recent attempts to introduce other non-union men would open some of the sleeping ones eyes. Can 1t be that some are still under the illusion that they can go 1t alone and make good? In these days when capitalism and govern ment are both trying to destroy every working mans organization the blind est of the blind ought to see.
 Whats McLean's big idea in trying to mix up the attitude of Connecticut Labor on politics? He had lots of time to do that before.- Does he think that he can make us forget that he voted for the principle of "A seat to the highest bidder?"

Downfall of Faithful" Retainers A r'Ous e S ReactiOnarieS an d Order Goes Forth to Destroy Ballot Box, Method.
By International Labor News Service

By International Labor News Service.
 Washington, D. C., July 28.-The bipartisan Old Guard has decreed that the direct primary must go.
 It also has determined to abolish seniority in the Senate as a method of assigning committee chairman ships.
 The sole reason for both of these moves is the rising tide of protest against Old Guard Rule.
 The Old Guard has seen one after another of it's faithful retainers top pied over in the primary elections this year.
 The Old Guard expects to see many more of the old wheel horses of priv ilege go into the political junk heap.
 The direct primary is the road leading to their exit.
 Therefore, the direct primary, 1t is announced, must be abolished
 Senator Mccormick, spokesman for the Old Guard, has made the an nouncement. Mccormick, hailing from Illinois, because of his big busi- ness connections, ~is more in accord with Wall Street than with the toll of factory and farm upon which his own state so brides itself. McCor- mick, it will always be remembered, started the "defation" movement

Endorses Move of Business Men Civ

Hartford, July 28.-The Hartford Central Labor Union at it's last meet ing passed resolutions endorsing the action of the business houses of the city in giving their empolyes a half holiday each week. In the discussion of these resolutions, hope was ex- pressed that all firms who had not taken this step would fall in line for the remainder of the summer.
 The resolution follows:
 Resolved, That we heartily en- dorse the action taken voluntarily by the business men of the city, granting their employees half holiday weekly, and that we respectfully urge those who are still open for business to join the movement and make it general, which will be appreciated, not only by the members affiliated with the Gen. tral Labor Unoin, but their employees as we'll"

RESPECT THE LAWS, NOT MJUNCTIONS,
 RAILROAD SHOP STRIKERS ARE TOLD . BY THEIR INTERNATIONAL OFFICERS

in their mad effort to break the strike, he says:
 The injunctions sought by some of the railroads are. not needed nor ob- tained to preserve peace. They are intended rather to protect the lawless gunmen employed as 'guards'-such as the one who killed an inofensive boy in Clinton, III.
 Tt is equally unnecessary to call out the troops to camp around rail road shops and yards at great ex- pense to the tax-burdened public, thus misleading people to think of the peaceful disciplined groups of railwa..- empolyes as gangs of rioters.
 "The organized employees are law abiding American citizens, who are giving a ? remarkable exhibition of orderly determination in their whole sale sacrifice to win the right of a de- cent living out of their labor. They know that strikebreakers will do the roads more harm than good. They know that their trained service is necessary for efficient transportation They know that by steadfast. peace full refusal to work for inadequate wages they will be able eventually to obtain the just and reasonable wages to which they are entitled legally and morally. s...
 Managers Foment Strife
 "The employees organizations will support every measure to suppress violence or disorder in connection with the strike They afe already furnishing guards at the request of some of the railroads for properties where no strikebreakers are employ ed. Every case of disorder reported to the organizations is immediately investigated and every possible means taken promptly to stamp 1t out"

DIRECT PRIMARY, PEOPLES HOPE, IS
 DOOMED BY OLD GUARD ALLIANCE

when the Old Guard, responding to the wishes of high finance, thought the time had come to tighten up on labor's belt.
 The movement to destroy the pri- mary and to restore the rotten old convention system IS a serious move ment It is serious because the OTd Guard finds it's position seriously menaced. The Old Guard gets seri- ous about anything that constitutes a real menace to itself or to it's allies of the money markets.
 In the view of those who study the political situation, 1t IS going to be necessary for Labor and for farmers and all who believe in progress to be constantly on the alert in defense of the primary.
 It is the primary which has made possible true popular expression in the nomination of political candi- dates. Without the primary the old machine methods, with the inevitable boss rule, must return.
 The movement to abolish seniority in the Senate is the result of the same situation. Senate progressives, prin- cipally Senator LaFollette, are due for chairmanships of important com LllllSSS ulllSSS lHC OIu l uIC lS dDOilSi- ed. In order to prevent important committees from passing under pro- gressive influence it is sought to abol- ish the old rule. The seniority rule is not democratic ard should have been abolished years ago, but the present significance back of the move ment for it's abolishment is merely that privilege is seeking desperate method of self-defense. Because the old rule is about to bear accidental fruit for the people the masters of the Old Guard have decreed the finish.

One rainy Saturday morning in January, 1907, I had an interview with Senator Spooner of Wisconsin at his residence at Washington.
 It was an interesting conference principally on account of the total lack of conventionalities and sena- torial courtesy was no impeachment to the business in hand. In other words, there was total lack of for mality, similar, we might say, to an impromptu meeting of members of the Switchmen's union.
 The conference took place in the basement of the senator's residence, 1t being fitted up as an office with all the modern conveniences, including a very polite secretary: It had taken ference arranged, and 1t was sup posed to last only 30 minutes but things took turn that interfered with all our pre-arrangements and it lasted from o:3o a. m. until about D. m.
 The subject was a bill proposing to give the United States the right of appeal on law points in criminal cases Up to this time, for instance, the Interstate Commerce Commis- sion might bring proceedings for the enforcement of Federal laws in any district court of the United States and from the decision of that Federal judge on law points in criminal cases there was no appeal. The bill had been held in abeyance in the Senate Judiciary committee (composed of Is lawyers) for about 10 years and seemed doomed to ex- tinction by neglect. Senator Spooner was the leading spirit in this com mittee for many years.
 After a few introductory remarks in which I introduced the subject of the bill, quoth the Senator, You are the man who ordered the strike on the Northern Pacific, aren't your"
 "Yes, Senator, 1 had that honor, but as I have been accorded only 30 minutes for this interview we will not have time to take up ancient his tory. Let us return to our mutton, as the Frenchman said"
 Whereat the Senator got real huffy and actually used some unparliamen- tary language at which I rejoiced ex- ceednigly for it really gave me an opening that I hardly expected.j

When Senator Cummins and Ex-Congressman Esch framed the Railroad Act, they should have called the Railroad Labor Board The Railroad Publicity Bureau.
 This Railroad Labor" Board is nothing more than prop aganda machinery to make the fake railroad statistics official in the eyes of the gul1ib1e pub lie. Like every other sacred institution in our Government, it has been made tool of privilege by the Harding ad- ministration.
 When, an autocratic board tries to replace the economic laws and sets up a bureaucratic dictatorship to arbitrarily fix wages and working conditions it is plain Bolshevism.

NEXT YEARS STRAWBERRIES
Plants Should Not Be Permitted to
Fruit for More Than Two Years
on Same Ground.

Strawberries should not be permit
ted to fruit for more than two years
In succession on the same ground. This
is for the reason that they are rarely
profitable after that time because of
exhaustion of the fertility of the soil
readily available. and that crop rota-
ton is necessary in order to prepare
the ground for strawberries again.
Strawberries are not necessarily hard
on the soil or leave any injurious eff
fects, but. nevertheless, unless the
ground is put to some other crop one
year In three, and rotation practiced.
little in the way of a steady and con-
tinuous yield can be expected.
If the second season crop Is to be
as good as the first, it Is necessary to
give the ground the proper prepare
ton In the summer or fall following
the fruiting season. The tops of the
strawberry plants should be moved
off and removed from the patch. Fur
rows or rows should be cut out either
with pillow or garden hoe, depend
ing upon the size Of the patch. A fur
row can be plowed from each side of
the row leaving q ridge or back-fur
row between the rows. This is then
worked down with harrows and Guilt
vators until the burrows have been
filled and the ground made level again.
II spike-tooth harrow is used the
teeth should be set with back slant
SO as not to tear out the plants when
crossing the rows. In small straw
berry beds this work can be done with
a garden rake and spade. 3.
The ground is to be worked until
the surface is absolutely smooth. This
results in giving the crowns Of the
plants thin coating Of fine soil and
the new tops will come up through
this. A top dressing of manure is added
and cultivation continued during the
rows the first season. and you will

COAL OF VEGETABLE ORIGIN
Abundant Proof That Huge Forests,
In Former Epochs Of the Earth,
Became Petrified.

Although in most instances there
are comparatively few traces of its
vegetable origin left, coal owes its ex-
istence to the vast masses of vegeta-
BILE matter deposited through the lux
uriant growth of plants in former
epochs Of the earth's history, and
since slowly converted into a petrified
state.
Coal fields today present abundant
indications Of the existence Of huge
ancient forests. usually in the form
Of coal formed from the roots Of trees.
Several such forests have been uncOv-
cred, one of which in Nova Scotia is
good example. Remains of trees
have, been found there, six to eight
feet in height and four feet in diam
eter. In colliery in England, in a
space of about one-quarter of an acre,
there have been found the fossilizel
stumps of IS trees, with roots at
tached, and broken-off trunks lying
about, one of them 80 feet long, and
all of them turned into coal.

Monkey Seasons.

It used to be thought that beasts
and birds were guided in their action
entirely by instinct, reason playing no
part whatever in their daily lives. But
now naturalists are not so sure. To
learn to use lever as mechanical
instrument implies, one would think, a
certain amount of reasoning power.
Yet monkey kept in captivity en-
