Knights of Hoe.

Happy news for thousands of backyard

who have continued to grow their own
vegetables since they got the habit dur
ing the war, was contained today in an
announcement of Harry Miesse, secretary
of the Patriotic Gardeners Association,
the city garden bureau will be operated
again this summer.
An office to which persons who wish to

35G plots upon public grounds to citizens
who wanted gardens, in addition to put
ting gardeners in touch with owners of
$50 other lots. During the war the as
signments number into the thousands,
but the gardeners low make most OF their
arrangements directly with owners.
1t cost only S434 to operate the garden
office last year Mr.. Miesse turned back
to the city treasury $500 of the $1,000 APP
prOpriated by the city council. Fifty
thousand tomato and 25,0OO cabbage

NEW YORK WAGE
FARLEY CONTINUES

NEW YORK, March 17.-Anthracite
operators and miners resume joint wage
conference here today with operators pre-
senting their reply to the miners de
mands for a 20 per cent wage increase,
universal eight day and the check
off system.
The operators have had these demands
under consideration since Wednesday
and it was declared they refuse them
aid make counter demands for a wage
reduction.
The general belief among miners, how
ever. was that the counter proposals
would not be as drastic as first expected
and that the way would be paved for
agreement in the anthracite field.
After todays meeting subcommittee
will be formed to negotiate and they are
expected to continue in session for six
weeks. This means there will be no
agreement by April 1, when the present
contract expires and that there will be
a short mine tie-up from them until the
new agreement is signed.
President John L. Lewis of the United
Mine Workers, said the miners would
make no requests of the Government, but
felt they could handle the situation sat
iSfactorily themselves.
eve are going into this thing with
q large amount of optimism and conf
dence,' Lewis said. He added he could
net tell what the state of mind of the
operators, but he believed everything
would go smoothly.
Lewis only comment on Secretary of
Labor Davis statement that the Govern
ment would pursue hands-off policy
toward the dispute was that this was en-
tirely satisfactory to the miners.

judgment. But her Judgment is sup

conclude that a coal mine operates like
a factoH, every day in the week. and
that a miner may work each and every
day just like CLERK in store or an en-
ploye in q factory.
This is a popular misconception and
a public misunderstanding Coal mixes
are not like factories and stores. They
do not operate every day. They operate
only a small percentage of the time.
Frequently they are idle for weeks and
months, and during all this time the
miners are forced into idleness. They
do not have an opportunity to work.
When coal operator has orders for
coal he operates his mine and the miners
employed by him are given work. When
he has no orders he does not stock coal /;
he simply closes the mine and miners
are forced into idleness.
THE capacity to produce bftuminous
coal is so far in excess Of market re-
quirements that the mines are idle from
80 to 80 per cent OF the time During
some OF these periods of long enforced
idleness, miners and their families SUI
fer great distress. They have no work
They earn no money Consequently they
can not buy even the bare necessities OF
life
Now the miners want TO remedy tnlS
unhealthy industrial situation. They
do not want to be idle during 1S5 days
per year. They want to work more days
per year. So, in proposing a six-hour
day and five days per week, they intend
that instead Of working less days per
year they will be permitted TO work
more days per year.
WHAT MINERS
DEMAND.
For illustration, 12S days work per
year at eight hours per day amount to
l ,024 hours per year, which at six hours
a day would give the miner III days per
year He, therefore. works less days at
eight hours a day and more days at six
hears per day.
~ the miner could work III days per
yea instead of 12S days, as he worked
In Ohio last year, he would have more
working days. Consequently his income
would be more propOrtionately distrib
uted throughout the year. Periods of idle
ness between working days would not be
so long and his economic distress would
not be so great.
THE miners proposal for a shorter
work day and shorter work week aside
from humane reasons, is offered as a sOlu-
ton of the problem Of mine unemploy-
ment. Crude and unscientiic some may
say. Well, who has offered any other
solution, or who has made any practical
or constructive suggestion for the pur-
pose of relieving mine unemployment

Government to
Use Pressure in
Nine DISPUTES

WASHINGTON, March 1.-THE full
force of the Government has been
brought to bear on the coal operators
to compel them to meet the miners
and avert q coal strike, declared Rep
resentative Bland, Republican, Indi-
ana, in a speech in the House to-
day.
The country is facing the worst
crisis of its kind In history" he
said. 1T is time we should get
aroused. The Government should
forco the operators to get together
with the miners. If the miners had
refused to meet the operators they
would be threatened by law and face
prosecutions"

NEST IS
HUGE AFFAIR.

HI GE AFFAIR.
The nest-or rather nests, for the eagle
is an aristOcrat among birds and main
tains a winter and summer home-is a
huge affair twenty feet in diameter in
the topmost crotch of a huge trea In
plot Of virgin forest about half a mile
from one Of the most heavily travelled
roads in the. middle west. The summer
home where the young are reared Is
the more pretentious, however, in this
respect differing from human folk. If
nice young lamb can be caught in the
talons Of the eagle its wool Is used to
line the nest where the young are reared
but no such comforts adOTn the home
Of father and mother ca gle during the
winter months.
The pair which are to be observed the
present season have spent their sum
mers in the one nest and their winters
in another about four miles distant. AL
ready, 1t IS said, although the migration
to summer quarters is still some time dis
tant the old birds have made a tour
Of inspection to see if things are as
they left them last fall
Before the migration actually occurs,
however, the summer home will be given
a thorough spring housekeeping Bones
of chickens, lambs and other prey
brought to the nest last summer to feed
the voracious young viii be thrown out,
new ideas in nest architecture will lie
tried out, and generally things will be
made comfortable for Mrs. Eagle, who
will not leave the nest after the eggs are
laid until the young eaglets are finally
kicked out to shift for themselves in the
fall.
The faculty Of Western Reserve plans
to get a complete story of the life OF
the family. In a large elm tree. not
quite as tall as that in which the eagles
have their summer home, the men Of
science are now establishing a camp.
The home of the observers is about eight
rods distant from the eagles meet. \
steel ladder has been put in place and
at the present time carpenters are at
work in the tree-tOp, building a house
and care for those spying on the eagles
twenty four hours a day. The observers
will cook their own meals and will re
cord the life history Of their subjects by
means o ia movie camera, aided and as
sisted by copious notes.
The house in the treetops is located far
enough away not to disturb the fathered
family under observation, but near
enough so that the camera will record
the changing life from day to day.
II is said at Western Reserve Univer-
sty that this will be the first time that
the king OF all American Lirds has been
placed under such close observation, and
the summers work is expected to be
real contribution to science.
