STATES URGED
TO JOIN In A
REFORESTATION

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., April 16.-
Outlining the governments program
for forest land purchases, Secretary
Jardine told the National Wholesale
Lumber association here tonight that
the time had come for the states to
join in the reforestation program.
'"The government he said, "has SO
far bought two million, six hundred
and ninety thousand acres of forest
land, and during the next ten years
hopes, if the pending McNary- Wood
ruff bill is passed by congress, to
greatly extend it's purchases.
THE federal governments acquisi-
tion program is pretty well launched
but hardly as much can be said for
the state programs. There is room
for a broad movement toward state
forestry. Large areas of cut-over
lands are reverting to many states
for delinquent taxes. In many other
states cut-over land can be bought
very cheaply. Now is the time for
the states to act"

British Strike Is
Indirect Cause of
iii. Mine Activity

Illinois miners are getting more
working days per week than has been
the case for many months past. This
is due, in part, says President John II.
Walker, Illinois State Federation Of
Labor, to the customary annual squirt
with the approach Of autumn and the
purchase Of winter coal stocks, but
also Indirectly to the protracted lock-
out OF British miners which began
May /.
mo Illinois coal is going to Eng
land to scab on the British miners so
far as / know" Walker says, "but the
mines nearer the Atlantic seaboard
that used to supply our eastern states
are now exporting 10 Great Britain
and so Illinois coal is finding tenn
porary eastern market in America"
The Illinois miners have contributed
almost $4,000 TO the British miners.

Boston Capmakers
Vote to March in
Labor Day Parade

BOSTON, Mass, Aug. IS. - The
sectarian policy of the socialist party
has reached such an extreme that they
even oppose participation in the most
conservative activities of the Ameri-
can Federation Of Labor Recently at
a meeting of the Capmakers' Union Of
Boston. Organizer Mccarthy appealed
to the local that they participate in
the coming Labor Day parade. To the
surprise Of the members present the
socialist members strenuously opposed
this forward step. They loudly shouted
that the union should have nothing to
do with Labor Day, but should eel
citrate May first.
Yet at the May first celebration in
this city the socialist local took little
or no part. The membership OF the
union local, however. voted by a large
majority for participation in the
parade and the Capmakers will be well
represented at this celebration.

Donald that he had written letter
lakes the edge off Of Cooks accusa-
tion-excapt for the fact that the Mac
Donald letter seems to have been lost!

It turns up quickly.
Cook when told of the letter said
he was glad to hear Macdonald had
decided to write, though he and the
miners were generally dissatisfied
with the attitude of Macdonald toward
the strike.
Cook Speaks In Wales.
Cook, in a speaking campaign among
the Welsh coal fields prior to the min
ers' delegate conference, promises the
men that their leaders will not accept
any agreement with the owners con-
tanning provision for the longer work
day, and pledged that no conditions
would be accepted until they had been
submitted to a vote of the miners
themselves. He was greeted enthu-
siastically and received many votes Of
confidence.
He told an audience Of strikers at
Perth in the Rhondda Valley that
there had never been any intention on
the part of the strike leaders to over
throw the British constitution, "Altho,"
he added, 81 believe that constitu-
ton which does not secure a living
wage for the worker is one that re-
quires to be changed"
Praises Russian Workers.
He said he had never communicated
with the Russian government and was
willing to show the British govern
ment the entire correspondence which
had passed between the Miners Fed
Grafton and the Russian representa-
tives. The Russians, he added, had
sent e52O,00O to the striking British
miners, without attaching any condi-
lions whatever to the remittance and
not seeking to interfere in any way
with British policy.
Asks For Endorsement.
Urging the necessity Of his con
tinuing in the strike leadership Mr.
Cook said to one of his audiences:
