Fruit is reported of good quality
and promises to be Of fine size.
MICHIGAN: The Michigan COM
mercial crop on July was estimat-
ed to be "A 100000 barrels against
'2,118,00O barrels last year. A heavy
drop is expected this month, SO the
July estimate may be lowered some
what by august. Baldwins and
Spies are the leading winter varie-
ties and both are reported as being
generally quite light in set, and
leading growers do not believe the
winter apple crop will exceed 50
per cent Of last years production.
Weather conditions have been cool
and wet, which have interfered with
spraying operations, made the sprays
less effective in controlling the scab,
and promoted the development ofethis
and other fungus diseases.
In MISSOURI the commercial
apple crop is expected to be less
than last year due to unfavorable
weather conditions in the, spring. The
July estimate was $4,000 barrels
against 656,0OO last year. IA
ARKANSAS: The Arkansas conf
imercial apple crop on July ] was
estimated to be 100000 barrels against
$50, 600 last year. # A
ROCKY MOUNTAIN: The pro-
duction Of commercial apples in
Idaho and New Mexico will be neat
ly so per cent less than last year.
Frost and freezes severely damaged
the crop in both states Colorado
is expecting slight increas over

for these three states on July | was
1,723,0oo barrels compared with
2,718,ooo barrels last year. St

"A S STATEWIDE REFERENDUM.

AZ statewide referendum on ques-s
tons vitality affecting public utilities
has been sent today to chambers OF
commerce in the State by Washington
State Chamber Of Commerce, accord
ing to D. O.. Lively, manager Of the
state chamber. This is the first OF a
series Of referendurns authorized by
the annual meeting Of the State Cham
Der in April and will be followed by
others as fast as, the arguments can
be prepared. " VAIN Fl
H The present referendum covers 8
questions: q J Shall municipality owned
public utilities come under the con
troll Of the State Board Of Public
Works? ~ If not, shall they report
to the Statet Board of Public Works
the same as privately owned utilities
do now? 90 Shall municipality owned
public utilities pay taxes? +
Arguments on these questions have
been prepared by well known author
ties whose names have been kept from
the manuscripts in order that there
may be no personal element enter
into the results, Mr.. Lively states.
The referenduns will be studied by
committees in the various chambers
of commerce after which they will be.
acted on by the entire membership.
In case there is a substantial majority
of the local chambers of commerce for
one side or the other of these refer
endums, the State Chamber will con-
slider it as! a mandate to bring about
the desired condition and will take
action accordingly. 4
Other referendums which the State
Chamber will send out include the
State control Of game and fish as OPP
posed to the present county control,
the Blue sky law and the enact
ment Of law providing for the sett-s
ling Of business disputes by CONNER

production larger than last year is
expected. +. (. q
VIRGINIA: The commercial
apple crop in Virginia will be bet
ween 2,50o.OO0 and 100000 barrels
compared with / $4,000 barrels last
year. Weather conditions have not
been favorable since July LIST and
there has been a heavy drop. The
North Valley, or Winchester dist
rict, which last year shipped nearly
6, 400 cars has much smaller crop
as the Yorks and Ben Davis, the
two most important varieties, set
poorly Other districts will have
more apples than last year. The
production of Winesap and Pippin
will be more than twice as much as
last years crop Other commercial
varieties, such as Stayman, Black
Twig, Delicious, Grimes Golden and
I Bonun promise heavier crops than
last year The season during June
was characterized by heavy storms
in many localities with considerable
hail damage. The quality of the
fruit is not expected to be as good
as usual and this fact will tend to
reduce the number Of barrels and
boxes packed as growers seem de-
teyn1ined to, grade their fruit very
closely this season.
WEST VIRGINIA: 1t appears
now that the commercial production
may be less than last year in the
Martinsburg section which produces
large part Of the state total and
had heavy crop last year, There
lis light set on Yorks and Ben
Davis. Owing to unfavorable
weather conditions and the cortinu-
ing heavy drop the production will
probably be less than the July est
innate. Outside Of the eastern pan
handle the crop is very much better
than last year, particularly along the
Ohio river. Il X
+ OHIO: The commercial apple
production will be less than last
year owing to unfavorable weather
conditions at blossom time. The
July estimate was 100000 barrels
compared With 10000 barrels pro-
duced last year. n
b & ILLINOIS: The apple crop in Him
sois is not as promising as month
ago owing to blight and unfavor-
able weather. The July estimate
was $4,000 barrels compared with
1851 900 barrels last year. Calhoun
county, which normally produces
one-third of the commercial apple
crop, is reported to have only IS
per cent Of a full. crop this year.
The Bloom was generally quite
good but weather conditions and
blight were unfayorable for good
set, especially in some late varieties.

MANY CHANGES
In Workers Conditions
Since GOmpers Was
First Elected

When Samuel Gompers was elected
president of the A. F. of l.. the first
time the right of workers to organ
ize was seriously questioned. Work
ers were not recognized as social
force, and only the more courageous
protested against many glaring
wrongs. The employer dictated the
lives of his employees and he was
publicly praised in the press because
"he gave men work"
Child labor of that time was WV
idly described by Mr.. Gompers in 1881

mittee appointed to visit the tene-

there in that visit scenes that sicken-
ed me. | saw little children, 6 and
Z and years of age, seated in the
middle of room on the floor, in all
the dirt and dust, stripping tobacco.
Little pale-faced children, with look
of care upon their faces ,toiling with
their tiny hands from dawn till dark;
aye, and late into the night, to help
to keep the wolf from the door. I
asked them how long they worked,
but they did not, could not, under
stand. In the simplest way talked
to them and learned that they began
before daylight, and worked till long
after dark. Often they would be
overcome with WEAKNESS and want of
Sleep, and fall over upon the tobacco.
Shame upon such crimes; shame
upon US if we do not raise our voices
against it,"
| In these days the laborer worked
at the pleasure of the employer and
was often paid with an order on
company store. If the worker went
on strike, the militia was called out.
There were no compensation laws.
If he was injured the court held that
he assumed the risk, ,or that fellow
employe was responsible, or that he
contributed to his injury. There were
no laws to protect the life, limb or
health of the workers. There was no

There were practically no Tabor

GERMANY Know
TROUBLE COMING

That Germany herself knows this
Is Indicated By tho fact that when tho
German ambassador 40 London called
upon Austen Chamberlain. British
foreign secretary. and presented his
government demand for evacuation
OF Cologne. he suggested that Great
Britain reply separately, indicating 10
Germany some good reason why tho
evacuation could not be effected at
present.
The reason. as both Chamberlain
and the German envoy knew. was
that the French would promptly
move In II the British moved out.
But Britain declined to make a
separate reply.
