USING LIGHTS IN
WINTER HOUSES

II is wise to be thinking about the
lighting Of the poultry house for the
winter There Is no longer any ques-

which are cloudy. the egg production
can be very definitely Increased by
supplying artificial light to the laying
flock This has been tried out at many
experiment stations and by thousands
Of practical pOultrymen
The idea is perfectly simple. The
hen eats only when Il Is Hight, IF the
days are short she eats only a short
time. She eats all her crop will hold.
but when she stays on the roost from
early afternoon. all night and until
late IN the morning In the winter, she
has not been able to eat enough food
to last her the whole time. There
fore, she is idle. for several hours when
she could just as well be eating more
food and manufacturing more eggs.
The method OF using the lights Is
to turn them on for 20 minutes to half
an hour In the evening perhaps about
hens soon learn what It means when
the lights go on, and they hop of the

scratch feed. AS soon as they get
their crops full they start back onto
the roosts and in half an hour they
are all back and the lights can go out,
and the day has been made just that
much longer for them.

COVERED SPACE

The open shed or covered barnyard

nure; Il permits the feeding under

sible It's utilization for bedding; when
there is plenty OF bedding. cows so
housed keep cleaner than those con-
AHed In staHehions. These are the
principal points In favor Of the open
shed system. says the United States
Department OF Agriculture.
In an experiment at the Beltsvllle
station II was found that the cows in
the open shed produced little more
milk, but AT a greater cost for feed.
than the cows IN the closed barn. The
more timid cows were fought away
from the feed racks in the shed, which
resulted IN a much lower production
from such cows. Probably IL would
be a matter OF economy to confine the
cows at feeding time. Cows so housed
should be dehorned.
The labor required under the two
systems was slightly greater with the
open shed. Had the cows been MIXED
in the open shed this would not have
been the case. but since this practice
is not recommended In the production
Of market milk. the cows in this ex-
pertinent were taken TO a separate
stable for milking Sixty-eight per
cent more bedding was used In the
omen shed.

gerous. It has been universally re-
placed by the Industrial form of organ
ization. We hoped that this would
gradually bring us to amalgamation.
AS you know it brot us nowhere.
"On the contrary, the failure of the
alliance led the convention of the A.
G. w. last May at Chicago to declare
its emphatic opposition to loose fed
Grafton, and to give the general execu-
tive board mandate to work for
amalgamation."
Since then other unions in the
needle trades have realized the short
comings Of craft unions and went on
record favoring amalgamation. And it
is therefore up to the Amalgamated
as the first and most active advocate
of amalgamation to take the initiative
and call a conference of all needle
trades to effect such a unity. It is its
duty at this convention 10 take meas
ures that will bring about the CONSOLE
dation of the unions of one industry

First to Advocate AmaIgamation.
The Amalgamated Clothing Workers
of America was one of the first I'M
ions in the needle trades to realize
that under the present form Of organ
ization, which divides the needle
trades into several small unions, it can
not successfully fight against the
highly centralized power of the en-
ployers. 1t was the first union in the
needle trades to adopt resolutions IA
voring amalgamation and has in many
instances made efforts to win the
other unions in the needle trades for
this viewpoint.
In May, 1922, at its convention held
in Chicago, the Amalgamated passed
a resolution which said in part: RE
solved that this convention hereby re-
cord itself in favor of complete consol-
idation of all unions in the needle
trades into one organization with one
executive board, one treasury and
with separate departments for the
branches Of the industry in which sep
arate unions now function, and be it
further
Resolved that the incoming general
executive board be instructed to ne
gotiate with the other organizations in
the needle trades for the calling of a
joint convention for the purpose Of
uniting these unions into one organ
ization, and the incoming general exc
cutive board is empowered to make all
necessary arrangements for such con-
vention."
Did Not Carry Out Instructions.
The A. c. w. did not succeed in
bringing about this amalgamation be-
cause Of the officials in the Interna-
tional Ladies' Garment Workers and
the Fur Workers Union. These Off
Gals preferred the organization OF a
loose federation of the needle trades.
This was tried and proved a complete
failure. II broke down at its first task
because this alliance had no authority,
no function and no power.
On another occasion in December OF
1922 when Mr.. II. Zuckerman, general
secretary of the United Hat and Cap
Makers Union, sent the A. G. w. an
invitation to a conference for the or.
ganization of a needle trades alliance
what did the Amalgamatad answer?
1.-THE A. c. w. OF A, has always
advocated amalgamatioh rather than
loose federation. In each OF several
wearing apparel industries the loose
alliance form Of craft unions has
proven ineffective. and therefore dan

not the attitude of the Amsterdam
leaders shake the faith of the Chinese
workers in the international proleta-
riat, which, after breaking away from
the ENHANCEMENT of reformism, will
align its entire strength on the side
of the Chinese people.
The speech of the strike committee
chairman gave us an inkling of the
situation. The material side of the
affair was shown us Immediately after
wards when, accompanied by all the
members of the conference, we we're
led thru the various strike institu-
tions.
In replying to the greetings of the
chairman of the strike committee,
Chairman Lepse remarked that he was
highly pleased to see that the Canton
army was not dispensing labor meet
ings, as was witnessed by us in Shang-
hal, but was, on the contrary, guard
ing the institutions of the strike COM
mittee. 1t is clearly evident here
that the army protects the interests of
the people. Later we found out that
the armed people posted as our honor
guard at the entrance of the strike
committee headquarters were not or
binary soldiers, but were the revolu-
tionary soldiers of Wampu and mem
bers of the labor guard organized by
the strike committee.

Bethlehem Police
Bar Passaic Striker
From Making Talk

GARFIELD, N. j., May ga group
of Hungarian textile strikers, mem
bers Of a Workers Theatrical Club,
decided to tour several cities with a
workers drama to aid the strikers
general relief.
The intention was to go 10 those
cities where Hungarian workers live
in great numbers and extend to them
the message of the Passaic strikers.
The bosses have already learned OF
the nilsson and are throwing obstac-
les into their path.
Receiving information from Bethle-
hem, Pa, that they were giving an
entertainment, the proceeds of which
were to be sent to the strikers relief
fund, and that they desired the pres
ence of a Passaic striker, one Of the
Hungarian players was sent to make
a small speech to the workers.
The chief of police of Bethlehem
refused to permit the entertainment
to be held. When citizens of Bethle-
hem asked him the reason for his re-
fusal-the chief said, I'm told that
you are to have a Passaic striker
speak at your show. Now don't like
that because those strikers are Com
munists, and don't want any Com
munistic propaganda in Bethlehem.
Now, If you promise to forbid that
Bolshevik to speak, I'll let you hold
the show, but if you do allow him to
talk, I'll lock you all up and will
never permit you to hold another
dance again."
