SHOE WORKERS OF
/. LYNN WORK FOR
AMALGAMATION
Stitchers Local of $500
Leads Way
BY M. sHARAF.

LYNN, Mass, April 27.-The dis
trict council Of the Amalgamated Shoe
Workers Union voted to assess the
membership twenty-five cents a week
for the next ten weeks.
The purpose of this assessment is
to start a campaign to organize the
open shops. The movement of the
Boot and Shoe Workers Union to
gobble up the Amalgamated Union,
ended desperately for the Boot and
Shoe Workers Union. 1t is admitted
by those responsible for the move
ment that if the results could be fore
seen, they would never introduce it
to Lynn.
Sent Seabs Against Other Union.
Among the arguments raised by the
Lynn shoe workers was the fact that
the B. and S. W. U. sent scabs into
the Sigman & Cohen factory in Brook
Ign, N. Y, at the time the members
of the American Protective Union
were out on strike.
The American Protective Union was
created by the bosses to smash the
former United Shoe Workers Union.
In order that this union should not
fall under the control of the rank and
tile, the bosses made the constitution
SO. that it is impossible for the mem
bership to unite with another shoe
workers union.
But with all the tricks of the ma
nufacturers they couldn't stop the mi
litants in that union carrying on a
campaign for amalgamation. Your
correspondent is informed that so
far four conferences were held be-
tween the American Protective and
the Protective Shoe Workers Union
The outcome of these conferences
will undoubtedly be the merging of
these two unions.
Amalgamation Movement Stronu.
The militants of Lynn, after they
succeeded in smashing the assault
of the Boot and Shoe Workers Union.
again revived the movement for ANAL
gamation.
The first move was made by the
stitchers' local, with a membership of
$500, which voted to instruct its
delegates to the district council to
take up the question of calling a con-
ference Of all Independent shoe unions.
1t will be remembered that the last
convention of the Amalgamated elect
ed committee to call conference
of the Independent unions, but that
thru the efforts of those favoring the
action Of the Boot and Shoe Workers
Union, it was stalled.
A Conference Soon.
Now that the stitchers have taken
up the question, it will not be long
until the conference will be called. It
is also quite certain that the indie
pendents are ready for that move
ment.

NEW YORK, April 27.-New YORK.
cloak and suit workers are waiting for
results from the elaborate and lengthy

Little new ground was covered in
the last arguments Of the lawyers rep
resenting the union, jobbers' and sub.
manufacturers associations. TheiE
briefs, however, will be exchanged and
opportunity for further rebuttal in
writing given. All the material will
then be submitted to the mediation

the looked-for recommendations.
Union workers are hoping that their
demands for limitation of the number

creases, will be recognized by the
commission as just in spite of limited
threats of johbers, particularly, that
such demands granted would forca
them to disband their association and
dissolve the union contract.
Union workers are determined NOT
to give up the week work system won
with such effort from manufactures,
altho the latter have attacked ths
change and asked for reversion to
piece work. The union workers be-
lieve that limiting jobbers to six

with other contractors now for orders
from 1obbers or wholesalers, is one
Of the surest ways of establishing
more order in the industry.
AS in the dress industry, the many
competing little contractors make the
enforcement Of union conditions diff
ficult and force down wages. The
unemployment insurance fund and dis
position Of superannuated workers are
important problems awaiting the word
of the mediators.

by Amadur to stop Salzer from world

The excitement caused thru the

The next morning Salzer again ap-

ALFALFA FAVORED
FOR HOG PASTURE

Alfalfa Is the best pasture crop for
hogs where conditions are favorable
for ifs growth. It not only has high
er feeding value than clover or blue
grass but remains green and suecu-
lent during the hot summer months
when blue grass has dried up and
clover Is often hard and dry.
Alfalfa Is ready for pasturing early
IN the spring and continues until late
In the fall. It has the advantage OF
lasting through a number Of seasons
while clover and rape must be reseed-
ed. When alfalfa Is not pastured
heavily one or two light crops Of hay
can be cut during the season This
Is good practice In pasturing because
heavy grazing tends to kill out the
stand. Alfalfa Is suitable pasture
crop for all classes of hogs, but Is
especially valuable for brood sows and
young pigs. Its high protein and lime
content makes It valuable for growth
and milk production.
A good stand Of alfalfa will Craze
eighteen to twenty fulfilled hogs per
acre, while the number will be reduced
to six or seven when the hogs are be-
ing grown on a half-feed Of grain IN
der average conditions four or five
brood sows and their filters can be
on an acre OF alfalfa Al
though alfalfa ranks at the top Of the
pasture crops as supplement 10 corn
for hogs, 1t Is usually advisable TO
add tankage or some other high-pro-
tein concentrate to the ration, espe
cially for young growing pigs.
Recent tests at the Purdue expert
nent station show that spring pigs fed
FOR market on alfalfa pasture made
more rapid gains and saved more corn
and tankage than those on clover. |
n two trials the pigs on alfalfa gained |
IN average Of 1.76 pounds daily and |
equired 331 pounds of corn and 80 |
pounds Of tankage per 100 pounds |
'ain, while on clover the average daily I
ain was l6S pounds, with a feed re-
Iuirement OF 1856 pounds of corn and
o pounds Of tankage per 100 pounds

A good pasture crop Is essential for
he most economical pork production.
D fact, it is so important that 1t often
lakes the difference between profit
nd loss In the business.
