Testimonial Of Strength

A man l know told me that one eve
ming he got on an II" train in Chicago
to 70 to his home in the suburbs. In
one Of the lengthwise seats near him
sat three negroes big, wide darby
In the center, with little slender
darby on each side Of him. The big
negro was looking for trouble; that
much was plain.
Every time the guard, who was
little German, opened the door to call
station the big darby would mimic
him, and then the other two darkies
would laugh admiringly. The pestered
guard finally protested, whereupon the
big darky threatened him.
$50 on, you Dutchman!" he said.
EFF you sasses me I'll hit you jest
onct, an knock you SO high in the air
you'll starve to death comm down J"
Hell do it, too" said one OF the
little negroes.
"He will att" assented the other.
EFF he say he'll do it, he shore will J"
Just then the door flew open and in
came the German, accompanied by an
other guard. nearly seven feet high.
The German pointed out the disturber,
and the giant, without word, grabbed
him by the collar, jerked him out OF
his place like tooth out Of socket,
cuffed him first on one side of the
head and then on the other, dragged
him on the platform and pitched him
bodily over the gate upon the plat
form of a station from which the
train was just moving. Then he re-
opened the door and gave the friends
Of the late departed hard and threat
ening look. But they were staring
straight ahead of them, their eyes
blinking and their faces indicative Of
q great mental concentration.
For long minute there was silence.
Then, as If moved by the same set Of
strings, the heads of the two little
darkies turned gently, inch by inch.
until each looked into the others face
across the gap where their friend had
been sitting. One Of them sighed
musingly.
dat suttinly was strong manr
was all he said.

Now that the cheering influence OF,
gay plaids manifests itself so conspic
uously throughout the mode, the
strictly tailored cloth suit need not
necessarily present a somber, conven-
tional aspect. The picture tells the
story more eloquently than words.
One of the cleverest fashions Of the
hour is the plaid blouse OF long tunic
worn with a plated or fiared satin
crepe or velvet skirt. Sometimes the
idea is reversed, as is instanced in
q Jumper suit which proclaims com
ing spring vogue. The blouse of this
frock is Of heavy navy crepe satin.
while the full circular skirt, the ker-
chief tie and the banded bows at the
wrist are Of plaid taffeta.
Should fancy run to an all-plaid eff
feet, choose jumper frock Of fine
plaided rayon and wool mixture. Let
the belt, collar and cuffs be Of gilded
leather.

THE
DORMANT PER
TOD OF SOFT
FRUIT TREES

One Of the serious disadvantages
encountered in growing soft fruit is
the early spring frosts. These frosts
are usually not uncomfortably cold
but just severe enough to kill the ten
der fruit buds and flowers which are
just opening up. If the buds could be
kept dormant for a week or ten days
longer in spring the danger of bios
som freezing would be minimized
considerably.
The Irrigation Branch Experiment
station at Prosser is carrying on an
experiment in an attempt to prolong
this period Of dormancy in soft fruit.
A few basic rules Of physics make
up the entire experiment. Whenever
radiant energy falls upon body this
energy is in general divided into three
parts. One portion is transmitted,
that is, passes on thru the body, an
other portion is reflected, and third
portion is absorbed. A transparent
body is the best transmitter, mirror
the best reflector and dull black
surface, such as lamp black, is the
best absorbent. The limbs and buds
of tree compare most favorably to
the latter type, that is, they are COM
paratively good absorbers of radiant
energy.
1t is the radiant energy from the
sun in spring that warns up the buds
enough to make them unfold. OF
course. other factors enter, but this
lis one of prime Importance. If the
surface of the buds and limbs could
be changed so as to more nearly
approach a reflecting surface the
buds would be kept cooler and con-
sequently remain dormant later in the
spring.
This change of surface will be done
by spraying the dormant trees with
whitewash. A formula for a real
white whitewash which is resistant to
rains has been worked out and will
be tried out on peach trees. The sta
ton orchard has seven duplicate va
rieties of peaches. One tree of each
will be given coat of whitewash and
one left uncovered as check. This
will give seven coated trees and sew
en- uncoated ones and should give
some data of much interest. The re-
suits, positive or negative, Will be
published next spring.

There is but one power that can

and peasc 10 the working class and to
humanity. Tint power is the working
class Il well organized, properly dis

to fight all who would oppose and prs-
vent its complete emancipation"
Tie tact that two such trade union
monuments - the Russian and the

THE federation is made up by sew

etc. are mostly governed by the ma

must speak out. Demand that all sit
down and draw up a basis for unity
or amalgamation in the way men
should who are not seeking to per
petuate divisions, and who are not
trying to be Napoleons over each
other, but who are willing in the spirit
of no victors or vanquished to sit
down and thrash out policy. There
should be no thought of one union
absorbing another: Unity, amalgama-

OF the federation.
The rank and file should prepare a
united front with the miners, railway
men and engineers, but at the same
time keep your mind on uniting the
transport workers.

A Historic Step

Europe, when wages, hours and con-
ditions are being forced down in every
country, the capitalists understand
very clearly the significance Of con
ference which in it's promise OF a
United Trade Union international COLI
tains a challenge to their domination
Since the capitalist press is 50 busy
fabricating its visions of the dreadful
things that will happen as q result
of these meetings held last month, Il
may be useful to state what appears
to me the important features OF this
meeting.
Perhaps the most important thing is
the fact Of the conference itself, this
fact that two great tradc union move
ments, the British and the Russian,
totalling together some twelve mfIuioS
workers, could meet thru their re-
representatives. and could reach an
agreement Despite the difficulty ~
the difference Of tongues, the difnwS
.ence Of tradition ana history, thcEA
two movements could find common
language in the needs and hopes of
the working class. This fact alone is
full Of promise for the future: PRO
mise that we try to express In plain,
simple, working class terms.
In our Joint Declaration that WIS
drawn up there are many points which
are of interest and Importance. bat
the most important Of all arr the
clauses dealing with the danger o.
war. We say:
80 long as the capitalist system
continues there Is danger Of war. The
nsrciless struggle for supremacy be-
tween the conflicting vested Interests

significant so far as power is con-
cerned, to give up his position OF ap-
parent power in a union in which,
probably, he has played the chief part
in organizing. But these days of
powerful combinations Of employers
make their continuance a menace to
the whole organized workers. And
the continuation OF the National
Transport Workers Federation gives
added excuses for their existense. 1t
furnishes a national center for them,
without any added power to the work
ers. The federation Is helpless and
like all loosely connected declarations,
it wiz fail in a crisis. Even should
the officials agree on united action,
and we have not guarantees yet, all
win depend upon the big union. But
we are not aware of that. ]. H. Tho
mas has changed his mind AS for
Havelock Wilson well, "nuff sed."
IRON Robert Williams report to
i the international Trade Union on
the failures of federation during the
triple alliance crisis in 1921 we quote
the following:
Dealing with a federation OF
somewhat loosely joined unions, as
I do myself, has compelled me to
realize the inherent weaknesses at
tached to declarations and alliances
which do not compare with more
closely knit organizations like CEN
trail national unions with one res
ponsible and central executive coun-
Gil. In consequence Of the lack Of
any viii or determination to strike
in support of the miners claims, we
have, each party to the alliance,
