MOVEMENT FOR 8>HOUR DAY
STRUCK FEAR INTO BOSSES
Over Half the Laboring Population
Was On Strike in 1886

In Milwaukee, in 1886, the s-hour
movement was under full swing
Thousands of workers were organ
lied into the Knights OF Labor;
strikes were occurring daily up till
the May Days, particularly amongst
the brewery workers, cigar makers,
clothing workers, and foundry work.
ers. The slogan was IS hours work
for 10 hours pay"
Strikes of 800 to $500 workers
we're daily occurrences In the last
weeks of April. For some time the
newspapers had shown q benevo-
lently neutral attitude towards the
struggles Of labor, helping to main
tain the bourgeois democratic illu-
sions. But towards the last Of April,
the signs OF the capitalist prepara-
lions for forcible suppression Of the
S-hr. movement became apparent In
the bel1igerent tone Of the newspa-
per articles.
Political Character Of Movement
The Socialists Of Milwaukee were
playing prominent part IN the g.
hour struggle. There were not so
many workers organized under their
leadership as under the knights Of
Labor; but thousands Of the K. of L.
members were under their influence.
There were about 140 Socialist
members In Milwaukee. They were
largely Germans and had q daily
paper, the "Arbeiter Zeitung," edit
ed by Paul Grottkau. Grottkau was
an able Socialist leader, who had
served time in German prisons for
his :csctsffYii5ies, VIC mad been 3 re-
porter under Johann Most on the
Berlin Freie Presse"; and after
coming to America had been editor
OF the Chicago Arbeiter Zeitung"
until he broke with Spies. There
were also about 40 anarchists In
Milwaukee.
The knights Of Labor leadership,
Powderly on a national scale, and
Schilling in Milwaukee, were now
sabotaging the struggle for the g.
hour day. Grottkau and the Social
lists were strong in their denuncia-
ton OF, these reformist traitors, and
were giving the 8-hour day move

Socialist leaders have done their
best to bury the militancy and class
struggle character Of the early days
Of the Party. The Socialist leaders
are celebrating May Day this year
on April 80, Presidents Day."
The Communists and the militant
rank and file members OF the So
cialist Party and A. F. OF L. in Mil
waukee are keeping up the fighting
traditions Of May Day, 1896. They
are demonstrating on May 1, and
they will bring to the workers Of
Milwaukee the events which inau-
gurated May Day In Milwaukee, and
honor the memory OF those who
were killed at that time.

IRIS BORERS

= Where iris has been undisturbed for
two or three years, the plants become
BADLY crowded, affording an ideal en-
Rlronment for various insect and fungus
pests. Chief among these enemies is
9the borer which consumes the fleshy
foCtstocks. causing the leaves to COL
lapse and die and the whole bed to
Bake on an unsightly appearance. There
IS no difficulty in detecting the borers
Rt this season because of their large
fize. Very often the borer opens the
Eay for foul smelling soft rot, which
bids in the general destruction.
There is only one substantial method
pf control and that is to thoroughly
trenoviZe" the iris beds. The plants
Should be lifted and separated into
their component units, discarding at this
operation all the old rootstocks and
waste leaves. Whenever the borer or
rot are present, the injured tissues
fhould be cut away. Before resetting,
the soil should be thoroughly reworked,
Kidding bone meal or other fertilizer.
Better yet, to replant in another section
pf the garden, but this is not essential.
The borer is often q stimulus to put
ting the beds into proper condition, for,
after all, the best flowers are secured
from the younger paintings. In re-
setting the iris, it is well to recollect
that the rhizone naturally rests on the
surface of the soil. Buried deeply il

and the results are generally disap-
pointing.

proportion of the flower clusters to
develop and bloom early.
At this season the hot weather vege-
tables, such as tomato, eggplant, lima
bean and sweet Potato, grow vigor-
ously while the cool weather plants,
such as beets, carrots and cabbage
make poor progress. 1t IS fortunate,
indeed, that there Is such a wide
variety of vegetables or otherwise GER
tain periods Of the growing season
would be rather bare.
However. it is about time to sow
caulifower, cabbage and celery for the
late Autumn crop and, If grown in
cold frame provided with lattice cover
ing. the plants will develop strongly for
setting out about the first of September.
Two plants stand out in Midsummer
as a source of succulent green's for local
vegetable gardens, namely, Swiss chard
and New Zealand spinach. Both are
come again" vegetables; that is, each
plant produces over long period. The
chard is closely related to the beet, but
has a fleshier leaf stalk which may be
cooked like asparagus or the whole leaf
may be used. The New Zealand spinach
has no relationship with the common
garden spinach, but is trailing plant,
the terminal shoots of which are edible
when cooked The real merit Of the
latter vegetable is its heat resistance.
It makes its best growth in August, a
fact probably associated with its place
of origin. The New Zealand spinach
is said to be the only edible vegetable
obtained from the Australia-New Zea-
land area and for that reason, if no
other. occupies a unique position in
vegetable gardening.

STRAWBERRY
PLANTING.

The strawberry, both because 1t re-
huires a minimum of space and because
bf It's fine growing qualities, is an ideal
home garden fruit Generally it is as
Sumed that strawberry beds must be
Established in the Spring, but this is not
Necessarily fact, for with little more
care, beds may be started at this season.
Strong young plants should be chosen
hnd they should be lifted without dis
turbing the roots. Commercially this Is
accomplished by placing young runner
plants in pots of enriched soil and when
the roots fill the pot the plant is ready
Tor transplanting.
At this season the young plants should
be set about 1 foot apart IN the row as
they will not have time to develop many
young runners before the end OF the
season. 1t goes without saying that the
soil in which the plants are set should
be spaded and refertilized with good
grade of mixed fertilizer applied at the
rate of about pounds per 100 square
feet of area If the new high concen-
trateS are used. the amount must be
reduced accordingly.
If it is dry at the time OF transplant
ing, one or two soakings of the soil
following setting Of the plants Will be
well worth while However, the straw
berry plant is full of vitality and will
endure more drought than many vege-
tables and flowers. Under favorable
conditions the new bed will start off
quickly and by October will have formed
solid rows of plants capable of. produc-
ing good crop Of berries next Spring.

DRY GARDENING

In many local gardens the problem of
trees competing with the cultivated
plants is very serious. particularly at
this season. Where the owner does not
care to sacrifice trees, the garden plants
suffer. Gradually the problem solves
itself; that is, the gardener finds GER
tain plants which endure the adverse
environment, and he formulates a
planting plan in which such plants
feature. For example, there is no par
ticular trouble in growing s]endid nal
bulbous plants in partial shade because
ut their height there is plenty of water
for both trees and plants. In the Sum-
mer bulbous plants are resting and need
but little walter. Many of the Spring
blooming perennials, such as colum-
bine, iris, oriental poppies and pyreth-
rum, do well where the soil becomes
rather dry in Midsummer. In late
Autumn chrysanthemums blossom rea-
Sonably WELL especially if rains become
more frequent.
On the other hand, moisture loving
plants, such as dahlias, do not thrive
bear or under trees and there is little
hse to attempt their culture under Sucn
conditions. A tree is tremendous user
bf water and with it's roots in the
6eeper soil it is in a dominant posi-
kion to absorb the soil moisture. Not
for a moment would one advocate the
tutting of trees, because they are often
the outstanding feature in the home
landscape and contribute greatly to the
beauty of the suburban area.
Apparently water rather than nu-
frients, or even sunlight, is the chief
Factor in limiting growth of plants
beneath partial shade, for in gardens
where ample water is available much
larger variety of plants will thrive.
Ghe home gardener may, however. by
6evoting a certain amount of thought
And observation to the situation, de-
Eelop a fairly satisfactory Horticulture

GARDEN NOTES

The beds Of lantana planted near
the Department of Agriculture con-
tinue to flower profusely during the
hottest weather, giving positive eW-
dence of the value of this species as
bedding plant for Midsummer dis
play. Bailey, discussing in his En-
cyclopedia of Horticulture the cultu-
raj requirements of lantana, states that
the plants require a sunny exposure,
are not particularly exacting as to soil,
and that once established endure con-
siderable drought. New plants may
be grown from cuttings taken in the
early Autumn much in the same man
ner as the geranium IS treated. Ap-
parently the lantana deserves wider
use by home gardeners.
The Japanese beetle is apparently
gradually increasing in this area, but
SO far has not become the grievous
pest that it is in the Philadelphia
area. Commonly, in discussing fer
tilizers. mention Is made Of nitrogen,
as a matter of fact, only few of the
many elements that enter into the nu-
triton Of plant. Just how many no
one knows exactly. A few years ago
text books of botany enumerated 10
essential elements, but now it is known
that several more are required, some
times in such minute amounts that
the plant was able to obtain them
from impurities in the fertilizer. In
the case of boron, for example, only
one or two parts per million are re-
quired for plants, greater quantities
being actually poisonous to the plant.
Much interesting work is now in
progress on these so-called minor ele-
ments. IN some cases it may be pos
sible that closely related materials
function in the same way in plant nu-
triton and may actually substitute for
one another. Some of the newer high
test fertilizers are actually so pure
that they may not supply some OF the
minor elements as in the past, and
then the problem will be actual. Such
a situation has occurred in certain COM
mercial areas and may very well de-
velop in our gardens.
The Autumn is considered by many
garden authorities as the best season
and northWard. One reason fer this
is that crab grass and other weeds
do not offer such serious competition
as in Spring. Farmers Bulletin No
1877, Planting and Care of Lawns, y
by H. L. Westover and c. r. Enlow
covers in a very concise and helpful
manner the essential details of lawn
construction and maintenance.
Gladiolus thrips. according to sue
cessful grower in Woodbridge, offer a
distinct menace to the culture of this
favorite flower. The combination OF
CORN treatment and plant spraying has
in many cases failed to give satisfac-
tory control.
