national income suggested as a goal
for 1910.
Agreement is Suggested
Labor suggests" the survey said,
"that an agreement to increase pro-
duction by the necessary amounts
could be made by persons authorized
to represent workers, business execu-
tives and consumers in the industries
concerned. Such an agreement would
have to safeguard against price in
creases and establish measures to Sc
cure compliance"
The federation made clear that it
believed the program should be aimed

chiefly at increasing the production
and consumption of consumer goods.
1t declared that SO per cent of all
families and single persons have
yearly income of less than $4,000, yet
buy 73 per cent of all the consumer
goods sold on the American market.
Buying Power Increase Vital
CLEARLY then any effort to increase
the national income must lay first
emphasis on raising workers buying
power if it is to restore business
health" it said.
The 6 per cent wage increase would
mean an average annual income of
1882, the federation said.
In 1889, it added, the national in
come amounted to ,OOO,0O0,00O with
100000 workers idle, and industry
turning out only SO per cent of the
goods and services it was capable of
producing.
Effect of Program
An industrial expansion in 1910
which would boost the national in
come to $4,000, 100000, the federation
declared, would mean an increase of
10 per cent in food sales; IL per cent
in housing, furniture and utilities; Is
per cent in clothing; 20 per cent in
automobiles, and 20 per cent in other
consumer lines.
"There would be no difficulty in sell
ing the products" the survey added,
provided that rising production Gre
ated sufficient jobs, and also that
workers actually received the wage
increases that rising production made
possible"

dence was presented to the court sub
stantiating the contention that vio-
lence was committed by the strikers.
In answer to the plea of the unions
attorney, the attorney for the COM
pany maintained that violence has
been committed during the strike and
he held in hand a number of affidavits
which had not been shown either to
the court or to the unions attorney
before the hearing. Nevertheless, he
demanded that on the basis of the af-
fidavits the injunction should be sus-
tanned without modification.
"Conspiracy" Charged
He did not answer the charge of the
unions attorney that the company
did not come to court with "clean
hands" but he contended that the
strike of the luggage workers is not
for legitimate purpose but is con-
spiracy for the purpose of destroying
the very existence of the American
Hardware Company.
He quoted many authorities to the
effect that picketing cannot be peace
full, that it must be limited and that
employers have the right to pay any
wages they wish to and discard any
worker with or without sufficient
cause"
In the rebuttal, Attorney Kiser di-
rected the attention of the court to
the fact that most of the authorities
quoted by the company's attorney
have since been outmoded, that at
present there is an entirely different
attitude in the country towards labor
unions. He particularly stressed the
fact that Congress has through the
National Labor Relations Act declared
the national policy to be to encourage
collective bargaining and that a min
imum wage has been established by
law.

Strikers to Continue Fight

He ridiculed the assertion of the
company's attorney that the purpose
of the strike is to destroy the exist
ence of the company and told the court
the real purpose is to obtain increased
wages, better working conditions and
to secure the workers the right to have
say in determining the terms and
conditions under which they are to be
employed. Nevertheless, Judge Will

wondered what he thought of her

Kansas Colds Prefer
Their Men Tall and Dark

LAWRENCE, KAN.-Coeds at the
University of Kansas still prefer
their men tall, dark and handsome,
but they are not as particular as
they used to be.
That at least is the consensus as
revealed by a poll of university
women in which they were asked to
describe their Ideal man.
Several of the girls said that looks
were not of primary Importance and
at least one coed said that "short,
fat man" would be all right with her
'just so he was my man."
A number merely specified a
"clean-looking boy" as their ideal.
Most of the goods preferred to mar
ry professional men, but one said
she was looking for a farmer.

Good Results In
War On Worms
Continued from Page u

Why these worms are so prevalent
this year has not been explained by
the entomologists but is, no doubt,
due to some unusual condition, &C
cording to Max McMillin, county
agent. Many people report seeing
large numbers of moths about the
4th of July, and these moths, no doubt,
were responsible for laying the eggs
which Matched into the sugar beet
web worms.
Found in Alfalfa Fields.
What one can look for in the future
has not as yet been determined. The
moths seem to prefer laying their
eggs on a weed known as the lambs
quarter, and fields that were free of
this weed seemed to be fairly free
of the worms although the worms
have been found in alfalfa fields, and
it is thought the moths also laid their
eggs there.
In all cases Paris green or white
arsenic should be used as the poison
as for these worms it is much more
toxic than the arSenate sprays. The
spray is made by using four pounds
of Paris green, four pounds of hy-
drafted lime to 100 gallons of water;
and the dust is made by using four
pounds of Paris green and 100 pounds
of lime.
For small spaces such as the gar
den, the worms can be controlled
quite rapidly by using pyrethrum
which is contact poison instead of
a stomach poison. This can be OBJ
tanned from drug stores, and one
pound of pyrethrum is mixed with
seven pounds of lime and is used as
a dust but has to contact the worms
themselves.
The worms should be going into
another stage which they pass through
in silken tubes in the ground very
soon, according to Mr.. McMillin.
