TIME NOW TO PRUNE TREES

Continued from Page One)
ming tree in globe or pyramidical
shape as it looks artificial and toe
stiff. The natural shape is by far the
best, and you can't improve on nature.
Young trees planted two or three
years ago can stand little trimming
to give them uniform shape and it
is also well to help the growth of the
trunk. For instance: If the seasons
growth was from three to five feet,
cut off about one-third, but by all
means don't cut back into the hard
wood. Eliminate all the lower
branches on the trunk to the height Of
six feet from the ground so that per-
son can walk under it. Paint all fresh
made cuts with white lead to keep the
moisture cut
Pruning, if it is needed, should be-
gin now, when it is perfectly safe. In
case you have to cut large branches,
be sure and cover the wounds with
white lead or bees wax.
ITO inspect the trunk is most inn
portant is it is the breeding place for
insects. Cut out all the decayed bark,
in fact, give it a good scrubbing with
a stiff brush clear to the branches.
Mix one-half pound of soap. one gal
lon hot water and two gallons of kero-
sene and apply this emulsion with a
brush. This will kill all the pests and
will not injure the tree.
Formula for emulsion for spraying
the foliage later in the season is as
follows: Mix 10 ounces of Black Leaf
No. 40 to so gallons Of water, add two
pounds of fish oil soap to this mixture.
Now, what is the cause of the
trees splitting the bark and getting T
those sickly blotches on the trunk? |
/ have taken this matter up with the
station in Washington, d.
c., but so far have received no remedy
for its prevention. 1t seems they are
at loss on this question, but claim
it is caused by the abnormal change in
in the spring months
when the sap commences to go up.
For instance: We have a temperature
IF 38 to 40. Suddenly it changes to
10 below freezing we have ex-
perienced this often. The conse-
quence is the circulation Of the sap
stops. When warmer weather sets in
again the sap will travel again but it
viii leave some fluid behind where it
was held. Opening the blotehes up
you viii find watery matter in them;
by all means cut this all out clean. If
you don't it causes fungus and will
in time kill your trees.
Spraying Of trees is essential. We Il
must take precaution to prevent in
sects that destroy our trees. Even if
the tree looks healthy sfnd clean it
'ught to have spraying and recon-
mend this being done about the month !

When the teams came trotting out on

"My, haven't they lot of spares ?"

ARBITRATION OF
STRIKE URGED ON
GARMENT BOSSES
78 Have Signed Al
ready, Pleaded Citizens

Before outstanding, the Citizens
Committee, which has been seeking
to negotiate a settlement of the
garment strike, made public its cor
respondence with the Chicago Assoc
citation of Dress Manufacturers.
The committees letter, which
states that already 78 firms employ
ing 1900 workers have signed agree
ments, reads as follows:
Ask Bosses to Arbitrate.
"As you may know, commit
tee made up of citizens vitality
interested in the well-being of
both employers and workers has
been appointed to inquire into the
causes of the strike in the dress
making industry Of Chicago and
to assist in every way possible in
bringing about a fair settlement.
The information which the COM
mittee has obtained thus far, in
dicates that a majority of the
workers in the industry are MEM
bers of the international Ladies'
Garment Workers Union; that
ScNcHly -tlBHb UInlo employing
twelve hundred workers have
signed agreements with the above
named union. During the life Of
these agreements any differences
that may arise will be submitted
to arbitration.
"Are you willing to agree to
arbitrate the demands of the
workers before joint committee
Of Chicago citizens appointed by
the parties at interest and headed
by chairman appointed in the
same manner?
"Please be good enough to send
your reply so that it will reach
the committee not later than Fri
day afternoon, March 21, 1924"
The bosses acknowledged the let
ter but refused to arbitrate. So the
committee has given up trying to
persuade them and the fight is on by
organized labor TO force them.

Picket In Rain.
Yesterday morning in a dreary and
uncomfortable drizzle, hundred
girls kept on the picket line. The
cops did not make so many arrests as
usual. Drivers of the patrol wagons
objected to driving on the wet streets.
But the streets were not too wet for
the pickets.
Students from the University of
Chicago, who are members of the
Liberal Club, came to the picket line.
They were all surprised to see so
many strikers. One girl student
said to a striker, eve thought that
we would be the only persons on the
picket line this morning"
Arrests In Morning.
Those arrested on the first and last
trip of the patrol during the morning
before the cops decided to call it a
mornings work were: May Mostt,
Sophie Mandelson, Ada Abrams,
Eleanor Smahl, Maria Desidero and
Alma Jones.
Ada Abrams was arrested because
several scabs> on their way to work
stopped to beat her up. After boating
her the scabs called the cop who had
been considerable enough to walk
around corner while they assaulted
Miss Abrams and he placed her I'M
der arrest. When the wagon was
called to take her to the police sta
ton the coppers decided they might
as well make the trip count for some
thing and so arrested the others.
More Injunction Arrests.
Three more workers were arrested
on attachments for contempt of
DENIES" writ. They were: Oscar
Simon, Kara Seiger and William
Wellworth. The judge set their cases

HEARD IN CONGRESS

WASHINGTON, March 25.-The
mystery surrounding the manner of
death Of Jesse Smith in Attorney
General Daugherty's apartment last
May was never properly cleared up,
Representative Oliver, New York,
declared in the House today.
"His brains were blown out in the
Attorney Generals apartment either
by his HAND or the hand of another"
said Oliver.
mo autopsy was performed; no
inquest was held. He was hurried
to his grave.
To-day Jesse Smith stands re-
vealed as a collector of graft from
whisky deals and involved in a
fight film conspiracy and other pira-
cies. He died when the trial of a
great bootleg ring in New York
was called.
And he willed his money, de-
rived from graft, to the Attorney
General of the United States"
Oliver concluded.

DOZEN STRIKERS
BEFORE SULLIVAN,
TWO CONVICTED
Groves Detective Lies
More Than Boss.

Judge 'Dennie" Sullivan's attempt
to stop picketing thru the use of the
injunction led to twelve more ar
fragments before him yesterday.
All of the IL strikers were charged
with picketing in spite of his sacred
writ and therefore being in contempt
Of court.
"Dennie' gave a decision against
Margaret Welsh and Emma Deering,
but reserved sentence until today. No
decision was made in the case Of ten
others who will come up again today.
They are: Marion Brodek, Charles F.
Muller, Louis Sokoloff, Anna Field
man, Valentine Piesecki, Yattie Ross
man, Silvia Factor, Ida Selkoff and
Minnie Sugarman.
Swears Boss In Himself.
The injunction judges eagerness to
railroad the strikers was shown when
he insisted on swearing in witnesses
himself. When Nat Rieback of the
Rieback firm at 225 S. Market street
came up to testify against Margaret
Welsh and Emma Deering, Sullivan
took the task of swearing them in out
of the hands of the court clerk and
did it himself.
Rieback and his confidential clerk
Fred Justine, admitted under At
torney Peter Sissman's cross-exami-
nation that they had not seen either
Of them near their factory since
they had been served with injunction
notices. Both of them are constantly
on the lookout, too.
Fink Schroeder Lies.
I Detective Schroeder, of States
Attorney Groves Office, then volun-
teered to testify against the girls.
AS proof that he had seen them
since the injunction writ he pro-
duced his note book. The evidence,
when Sissman made him show it,
was nothing more than peAcilled
notation, with the girls names after
the pencilled date march H."
On this lone evidence, contradict
ed by defense witnesses, Sullivan
eagerly convicted the girls.
Schroeder, by the way, had hand
in the beating up of Sophie Alt
schuler.
Freda Reicher, Ida Abrams and
Rose Boldag were arrested on the
picket line late in the day by the
police. They were taken to the S.
Clark street station, bailed out and

Hill interrupted Pages cross ex-
animation of Chief Postal Inspector

jections by Helm, Chairman Moses

Hill asked Simmons If he knew
that Page was "a fugitive from JUS

the fling Of disbarment proceedings
against him."

Of that" Simmons replied.

PICKET DESPITE
INJUNCTON;SAYS
STRIKE SPEAKER
O'Flaherty Flags Devcr
AS Capitalist Tool.

Denouncing the use Of the injunc-
ton by capitalist courts in labor
disputes, Thomas J. 0'Flaherty,
associate editor of the DAILY
WORKER, addressing a meeting of
striking dress makers at 1870 West
Washington street yesterday, de-
clared that strikes are won or lost
on the picket lines.
ut is true that injunctions can
not made dresses" he declared, "but
scabs can, and if you cannot keep
these scabs away from the struck
shops you cannot win. You must
stay on the picket line, injunction
or no injunction, until you have
won your fight" voi
Mass Picketing Wins.
Comrade O'Flaherty told how
mass picketing worked in the city
Of Lawrence, Massachusetts,, where
the workers in thousands marched
to the gates of the wooden mills at
7 o'clock in the morning and during
the hours when workers usually go
to the shops the numbers so i'm
pressed the bosses that they dared
not put any sluggers into operation.
IF the workers Of Chicago used
their heads during the last munich
pal election and put forward a
mayoralty candidate on a working
class ticket who would represent
their interests instead Of the inter-
ests Of the bosses, the clubs Of the
Chicago police would not now be
descending on your heads said the
speaker.
He said Robert E. Grove and
Mayor Dever were just tools Of the
capitalists Of Chicago and that the
workers were really to blame for
their being In Office.
Action in Council.
0'Flaherty called attention TO the
fact that the city council was meeting
today and that an official Of organized
labor was sitting on the council--re-
ferring TO Oscar Nelson. He demand
ed that protest be made at the council
by labor's representative against the
tactics Of the city police.
The strikers who attended the
meeting were very enthusiastic and
in spite Of the rain, responded TO the
call TO go on the picket lines with
cheers.
