Engineers and Laborers
WaIkout, Too
BY Federated Press.

NEW YORK, June 16.-Refusing to
call their action a sympathetic strike,
1000 bricklayers, hosting engineers
and laborers have walked out on con-
struction jobs which are struck by
iron workers in New York. Danger
to other workers on the job because
incompetent non-union iron workers
are employed is given as the reason
for the walkout
1.-THE men are being pulled of the
jobs for their own protection" says
John Donnelly, business agent OF
Bricklayers Local 81.
"One Of our members was killed on
It'll Ave. job thru the incompetence
of iron workers employed on it. An
apprentice was MANNED for life. There
is constant and unnecessary danger
from falling beams, derricks and other
material"

ers, which called the strike on May
for wage increase from $1,000 to S12

its fight on most of the large construc-
ton jobs. But some of the smaller
contractors have been able to hold
out against the union by the support
of the powerful open shop combine,
the Iron league. The latter organiza-
ton has announced that it is bringing
suit to make the union shop illegal.

Amalgamated Warning
New York Bosses
BY REsEccA oREcHT.

NEW YORK, June 16.-A general
strike in the mems clothing trades in
New York City, which was unanimous
ly decided upon at meeting Of exc
cutive and joint boards, of the Anal
gamated Clothing Workers OF Ameri-
ga, looms larger on the horizon each
lay. Talk about the pending strike
5 creating quite stir in the ranks
both of workers and manufacturers in
the industry
Bosses Scared.
The decision Of the Amalgamated
seems to have taken the employers
by surprise. Tho no definite plans
have yet been made public, and tho
the bosses have received no official
notice of strike, its possibility caus-
es much disturbance among them.
1t is evident from statements made
by the manufacturers that they are
alarmed at the prospect of stoppage
of work, realizing that this is no
empty rumor. They are trying to
spread the impression that they do not
fear any strike, at the same time
threatening to have their goods manu-
featured in out-of-town scab shops il
a strike is called.
Workers Know How.
Their attempt to brighten the work
ers with the prospect Of lost bat
tie, however, is an expression Of their
own uneasiness. Experience has
shown that the Amalgamated knows
how to conduct strike, and that the
clothing workers know how to carry
thru a successful struggle against the
bosses. The manufacturers are aware
that, when the strike will be declared,
the workers in the industry have sufi-
cient strength to force them to cease
cutting wages and sending their work
to non-union shops.
It is expected that plans for the
strike, which are to be drawn up by
the Joint Boards of the mems and chill
dren's clothing trades, will shortly be
decided.

TAFT Gets COLD
FEET AS RADICAL
BREEzES BLOW
Yields to Striker in Case
Before Election
BY LAURENCE TODD.
federated Press staff correspondent)


WASHINGTON, June 16.-Are the
election returns already in, from Iowa
and Nebraska and South Dakota, con-
elusive? Do coming political storm
clouds cast long shadow into the
courts? Someone has said the SUI
preme court merely follows the cleo
ton returns.
Anyhow, the supreme court of the
United States has just made two
moves away from a 14th century view
of the labor struggle.
Picketing Not Violation.
In the case brought by a st. Louis
firm, the Herkert & Meisel Truck Co.,
picketed during a strike by the local
union of the Leather Workers in that
city Chief Justice Taft announces a
decision that the picketing was not
in violation of the federal law against
restraint Of interstate commerce. The
strikers may have illegally picketed
he factory, and may have illegally in
undated strikebreakers, but the fact
that they reduced production in that
factory was not to be involved in in.
terstate commerce law. There could
be no commerce until the goods were
produced. Hence the trucking com
pany had no right to demand damages
from the strikers for the loss of bust
ness which it would otherwise have
done with the factory.
Ordinary horse-sense would seem
ingly have established the rule when
the claim was originally set up in
the lower federal court, but so care
fully picked have been the federal
judges in st. Louis that the decision
was given against the strikers. Per-
haps the same district judge would
have decided that the strikers owed
damages to all the merchants with
whom the profits of the struck shop
would ordinarily have been spent;
however, no such extension of strike
liability has yet been asserted. Now
Taft warns the district Judge that he
has gone too far.
WiNt " Cup TTOOuCIOH.
Quoting his decision in the Coro.
nado Coal case OF two years ago, the
chief justice recalled that he then
held that even conspiracy by the
coal miners to prevent shipment of
IS per cent of the output of the mine,
which output would have been shipped
in interstate commerce, was not a
violation of the Sherman law. The
strike was aimed at preventing pro-
duction, and that aim was lawful.
The second move of the court was
its refusal to review the constitution
ality of that part of the California in
dustrial accident commission act
which authorizes the commission to
award damages to workers injured
upon vessels in navigable waters.
Suit to nullify this protection to crews
of bay and river steamboats, was
brought by the North Pacific Steam
ship Co.

Chinch Bug Campaign Is
Necessary to Save Crops

Chinch bugs, like other insects, as
every farmer knows, do not do the
same amount Of damage every year.
Rather they appear periodically in
large numbers. The reason for this is
not difficult to understand. After the
chinch bugs have increased in num-
bers for a period of years, parasites
that live on them also become more
numerous. Thus by the time the latter
have become very numerous the para
sites also become so numerous that
they almost completely kill off the
chinch bugs, and then we see little
more of them for several years, or un-
til they have had time to recuperate.
When the chinch bugs have been de-
strOyed, the parasites have nothing on
which to live and they die off, which.
in turn, again gives bugs full sway for
a period of years, unless man steps in
and destroys them. According to all
indications, unless farmers put on a
chlnch bug campaign this winter the
grains as well as corn
will be seriously injured next year. The
individual farmer can do very little
toward chlnch bug determination. Eff
fective work can be done only through
the cooperation of the farmers In
whole communities.
