ment of John Campos as associate commissions
OF labor and industries in that state CampoM
has been for years the chief spokesman OF the
United Textile Workers in Fall River secretary
of the U.T.W. branch The appointment Of A. r.
of L. officials to government jobs has long been
the practice of state governors, but this Is onA
of the most conspicuous examples in the tex-
tile field
Commenting the 40 to IS per cent w1xa-
cut negotiated by the Full Fashioned HowiexY
Workers Federation, the leading section OF he
union President Mcmahon says that they met
the situation "bravely" and with courage He
contends also that wage-cuts in textiles are
wholly due to the wicked bankers who force mica
employers to do things against their better
judgement. But he is not too hard on the bank
ers for he observes cautiously: II do not know
whether or not the bankers of our country have
made mistakes. only consider the frailty OF
humanity and say that all of us make mistakes"
John H. Powers, member of the executive
council of the U.T.W. since 1908 observes with
alarm: "One must realize the minds of the ave-
erage workers must be prepared to receive the
suggestions Of the wild-eyed ignorant and mis-
chievous orators, or they would not be so quickly
imbued with spirit of revolution that seems to
possess so many of them"
The American Wool and Cotton Reporter sug-
gests that Mcmahon representing the q. T. W.
or James Tansey of Fall River, president of the
American Federation of Textile Operatives,
should be the Ramsay Macdonald for Massa-
chusetts Textiles" Macdonald deserted his
socialism" and joined with the British Tories
to cut the workers unemployment insurance
rates in Britain This employers journal wants
the textile labor leaders to act patriotically"
as Macdonald and help the Massachusetts en-
ployers bring back the 54-hour week in that
state.
This would not be the first time these two
labor leaders have co-operated with employers.
They both went to Congress a few yeaSv ago
and argued for high protective tariff on tex
tiles. Now with wages being cut right and left,
they contend that the employers have played
Washington again and work for lower rates on
the ground that wage standards have not been
upheld" under their high tariff agreement with
teh capitalists.

Plant Food Furnished sFaEas1S
by Natural Processes

Every time lightning flashes ferti-
lizer is added to the earth, according
to DR.. w. J. Humphreys Of the United
States weather bureau.
Ozone Of the lower atmosphere, am
monia, and oxides Of nitrogen are pro-
duced by the electrical discharge Of
the thunderbolt in the atmosphere,
Doctor Humphreys explained. All of
these synthetic chemicals made by
lightning react with water in the air.
The ammonia dissolves in rain, be-
comes ammonium hydroxide and
serves as plant food. The nitrogen
oxides react with atmospheric water
to form nitric and nitrous acids car
ried to earth to form soluble nitrates
and nitrites which are good fertilizers.
Over .770,OOO,0OO tons of 100 per cent
nitrogen fertilizers are thus delivered
to the soil each year, at the average Of
IL pounds per acre year. 1t is thus
believed that regions where lightning
is frequent and heavy may be more
fertile because Of this free gift of
lightning-made nitrogen compounds.

Explosion of Krakatoa
Believed to Be Record

The greatest explosion which the
1883 when the volcano, Krakatoa, To-
Gated in the Sunda strait between
Java and Sumatra, blew up. "At that
time huge crater stood there, with a
rim of islands 1900 feet above the
sea-" writes Charles Baker, Jr., in
Boys Life, the monthly publication
of the Boy Scouts Of America. "The
whole cluster of islands were blown
into bits, leaving hole in the sea
1000 feet deep; 5000 vertical feet of
rock were thrown aside.
"These explosions were caused by
steam from sea water In the throat
Of the new crater meeting the first of
the molten lava," continues Mr.. Baker.
"After the first explosions, water prob
ably chilled the lava to a crust, en-
closing enormous quantities Of steam
within. This finally burst through the
chilled crust in the most violent ex-
plosion, hurting vast mass Of cool
lava, pumice and dust into the air.
The sound of the explosion was heard
5000 miles away. Never before or
since have sound waves carried so far
on earth. Long tidal waves 80 feet
high reached Cape Horn, South Amer
lea, 1878 miles away. Thirty-six
thousand people were killed. Thou
sands of ships were destroyed or car
ried high and dry, far inland"
