FOUGHT AGAINST
LOCAL FAKEIRS
Locals Rally Now to
Smash Sell-Out

NEW YOFK. During the recent
painters strike, in which the zaus-
nsr-Aokerley leadership openly be-
treyed the painters to sweeping wage
cuts the left wing opposition gained
considerable prestige amCnq the
workers due to It's ucompromising
foht for unity AGAINST no n,"'7o''''~~-,'-.
IF the takers. for the s11 20 scale, the
ehOur day and the 5-dav week.
At the beginning Of the strike the
left wing opposition demaoded the
election of a rank and file strike
committee. The union politicians"
opposed this because it would mean
'hnir ev'au sono. Thew picked out
the District Council DELEGATES Zone
from each locan This they called
tho "strike committee"
Due to the influence of the left
vine, locals 400 and 905 refused to
accept the appointees and elected
rank and file painters to oct &C
strike committee. At the first strike
committee meeting the rank ord file
delegate from local 400 presented a
program demanding that the tenta-
tive agreement drawn up by the Off
Gals previous to the organization Of
the strike committee be rejected.
The bosses who signed the agreement
were working the men any number
of hours for SIS a day. The left
wing group demanded that there be
added to the agreement the eight
hour day, f1ve-day week, hiring and
firing through the union, with rank
and file control
For the Jobless
The militant opposition further de
handed registration of the unem-
ployed and that jobs be, given
through the rotation system con-
trolled by the rank and file of the
union. Included in the demands of
the left wing were demands for the
election of a job committee instead
of shop steward
All these demands were rejected
by the leaders. The leaders said that
the tentative agreement was already
signed by over hundred bosses and
they did not want to have new
strike for the new demands.
All throughout the strike the rank
and file had to fight two groups of
politicians. Each group was work
ing to sell the painters out, but in
different manner. One group called
for the creation of an alteration de-
partment, which meant breaking the
strike and the acceptance of two
scales-one for alteration work and
another for new work. The other
group were for the tentative agree
nnent which called for the $11.20
scale, but said nothing about hours
and conditions, and were for af11l
iating with the corrupt Building
Trade Council, which opposes SYM
pathy strikes.
The two sets of politicians could
not agree among themselves on the
method of selling out the STRIFE
Ackerly therefore came in and dis
solved the district council and settled
on three different scales-the settle

Although the Ackerlys and zaus-
ners we're able to betray the paint
ers, the influence of the left wing
group in exposing the takers and pre-
pairing the painters for real united
front struggle against the cuts has
been felt throughout the trade.

NEW YORK. The New York State
Communist Election Platform printed

SAGE RAT CONTROL

With the warm weather having
fairly well started now, sage rats
are found everywhere in abund-
ance, not only the over wintering
adults, but probably most of the
younger brood now being above
ground. In the waste areas green
growth vii soon be limited a n d
hence this should be good time
to secure control of the pest be-
fore it moves in on to farm land.
The use of the poison OTIS bait pre-
pared by the bureau Of biological
survey and which may be secured
thru drug stores of the county or
the county agents office, has prov
ed effective in the past almost any
time Of the year up to the time
that the sage rat hibernates. We,
personally, have distributed this
bait during the latter part of June
and have been able to count a num-
Der of sage rats that were not able
to get back into their burrows.
Recently a farmer called out at
tention to damage to alfalfa field
from sage rats on an abandoned
area next to him and stated that
these rats usually worked far over
into the field as the summer adj

POULTRY HORIZON
BECOMES BRIGHTER
Despite Present Low Egg Prices,
There Are Less Hens, Smaller
Storage Stocks, Less Orders

While many Washington poul-
trymen have worn out lead pencils
this spring figuring out ways of
raising money to feed their chicks
and rear new flock of vigorous
bred-to-lay pullets, there are sew
eral decidedly favorable factors on
the horizon desite resent low egg
rices, declares r. M. Turner, ex-
tension economist, Washington
State college.
There were about five percent
fewer hens ano pullets in both
commercial and farm flocks of the
United States on Januar 1, while
on March 1 there were two less
birds per farm flock than a ear
ago. Less chicks are being order
ed from hatcheries than last year,
a 7.8 percent decrease being noted
in chicks for January delivery and
later, a AZ percent decrease in
orders for February deliveries or
later and 81 percent less for the
March delivery or later. Although
more chicks may arrive via the
setting hen" route, these consti-
tute a minor factor in the general
outlook. In comparing 1892 with
1881, it must be remembered there
were % percent less salable chicks
Matched in 1881 than in 1880.
Egg receipts at eastern markets
were about &c percent less from
January first to April IL, compar-
ed to the same period last year.
Receipts of eggs from the Pacific
Coast at primary markets were 20
percent less, and al percent less
for Midwest receipts than during
the week ending April 2 a year
ago. Storage eggs for the United
States on April / were about 35
percent less than year ago.
Despite less hens, smaller stor-
age stocks, less chick orders and
fewer fresh receipts, egg prices are
low because, as in many other pro-
ducts, supply and demand are not
operating normally. The falling
price level and lowered purchasing
power continue to outweigh reduc-
ed supplies and fair demand.
Lack of finances for the normal
storage operations is also a de-
pressing factor.
Although egg prices are low,
feed prices are slightly more fav-
orable in relation to egg prices
than a year ago. The present feed
outliik gives no indication of high
prices for this year. Poultrymen
are urged to maintain flocks at
their normal size if at all pos
sible.

PERENNIAL WEED PROBLEM

AllsEnN4NAfAb w CA1D Il AsoDA<AS'A
Perennial weeds are getting far
enough along in their growth that
many of them can be identified at
this time. Farmers having any
suspicion that they may have per-
ennial weeds in small patches or
any considerable areas on the farm
may well watch these patches
closely at this time to note shovel
and dig up the root system. If one
finds an extensive root system
spreading everywhere with new
plants coming from it at intervals
then one will be reasonable sure
that he has one of the serious weed
pests and steps should be taken to
identify it so as to learn just how
serious it may become. There are
some which are much more diff
cult to control and therefore more
serious than others.
As a first measure of control
this year, due to general lack of
money with which to purchase
chemicals for weed control, we
would suggest that the farmer try
to arrange for irrigation and Guilt
walton so as to farm around in
tested spots as far as this is at
all possible. The reason for this IS
that these weeds may be spread
from seed and from pieces of the
root stock that may be dragged
out on to new areas and thus start
new points of infestation. Occos-
ionally a piece of root may be
dragged three or four rods from
the original patch and be unno-
ticed for several years, until fair
ly good sized spot is started here.
We are planning on the holding
of some meetings in the commun-
tiles in the near future at which
this problem will be discussed with
all interested in trying to control
this problem. Briefly we might say
that if the patches are small we
believe that the use of some chem
ical means of control is the wise
thing even tho it may be little
expensive. It is better to clean up
the patches Of infestation before
the problem does become general
even tho it may be a little expen-
sive to begin with. Further infor-
nation will be given at these meet
ings.

Hidden Fortune Lies
In High Quality Eggs

I've men went into the chicken
bushes Oh the same day Is years
ago. Each had $4,000 in cash. Each
borrowed $1,000 to complete the in
vestment. They built places almost
exactly alike. They bought the
same number of chicks from the
same source.
Each built up a flock of 1000
hens during the next five years.
Then for 20 years they lived side
by side. Each appeared equally
efficient. Both got high egg pro-
duction from their birds. Both
spent money at the same rate. And
neither received money from out
side sources. Yet, at the end of rs
years, one is worth $4,000 and the
other $4,000.
How did it happen? One man
was more careful than the other in
one phase Of the work. He took
better care Of his eggs and mar
keted a high percentage Of extras.
He didn't seem to get much for his
efforts only a cent or two a
dozen. But he saved the cent or two
and put it out on interest. In 20
years it amounted to $4,000.

CAMP ME|GS

Camp Meigs was practically
deserted at noon today by the
bonus-marching colony from Erie.
Pa, which had occupied it in
recent weeks.
The camp was one of the
smaller areas occupied by units
of the B. E. F. Its population
had averaged about 200.
These have been moving out
since the order to evacuate was
given, according to merchants in
the district.
At noon today about a dozen
men remained. All tents had
been removed and the shacks
constructed for shelter were the
only outward signs of the recent
occupation.
The Camp Meigs residents. ac-
cording to number of mer-
chants, had been well-behaved
and self-respecting. They had
been aided by the business men
there, who gave them their sur
plus food supplies and who fur
niShed wood for fuel.

MARYLAND ASKS
GAS RATE GUT

Gas rates charged Maryland
consumers in the Washington sub
urban districts served by the
washington Gas Light Company's
subsidiaries should be brought
promptly to the same figures that
are charged residents of the Dis
trict, according to a communica-
ton from the Public Service Com
mission of Maryland to the Wash
ington Gas Light Company OF
Montgomery county.
The commission cites that the
gas company agreed to that prin-
ciple in October, 1880, but that
nothing has been done to bring
the Maryland and District rates
into line. The recent announce
ment of an 8l2 per Get reduction
in gas rates in Washington has
brought the matter to the front
once more.
The commission writes the gas
company that it assumes this
reduction will also be applicable
to Maryland consumers.
