Teu TS MnOR [fOSS AFTER THE MI[[ OWNERS By Cheap Labor, Small Wages ano TO Other Methods Mill Owners Re . duced Earnings Below Standard. lPer oston, Mass.--Governor Foss sent Per ut a sp,)eail messago to the legislature i'nday urging an immediate in esti :sation of the strike in the textile nills in La wrence. T'he governor o' Ipoint, out that the strike was not i holly due to the fifty-four-hour law, ;as ut that unrest prevailed before that .and nlnilre was passed. ' G;overnor Foss, in the nmissage, de der fends his action in sending the militia nd *) I L\orence on account o(f the dis per! urbanices there, and says: "Not the slightest approach to 1j i:ar( hy can be tolerated in this conm t): on wecalth and I shall not hesitate St miploy every means at ny com i' 1:!(!] to maintain law and order; but i i' duty of thlie state does (n t ( iend I' '.Pd I shall perform but the simall r part of my duty if I failed ;.t this S'iictutre to recommend a siatrclhing 10 : ,stigation of all the facts relating I , the strike, including the condition , If the striking operatives." S('ontlrenting on the f:ct that the iill enlployes believe they have ot.ier I s ,rievances besides a reduction in rt ages due to the new law which lit hortens the working week from 56 I o 54 hours, the message says: "It is alleged that for years the 'mployers have pursued the policy of f bringing into their mills the cheap 'st grade of labor uLtainable In this e >r foreign countries, and by fines or A Sther methods have reduced wages n ar below that decent standard which li \merican citizens should enjoy. If ºt .hese things are true, their truth d lhould be established by a public in L :estigation, and the facts should be o riven the widest publicity. If not d rue their effective denial Is equally mportant. "A further pertinent and Independ ?nt consideration is that the industryI n which the strike originated is one i c hat has been specially favored by the do ariff laws designed and only justified ,n the ground that they protect and i -levate American labor. One purpose fa )f the investigation should be to de to ermine how far the advantages con- co erred by national law upon the ben e. iciaries of the protective system rave been and that they shared with he laborers who are supposed to b31' re he ultimate beneficiaries. tio "It is a fact that the protection now ifforded by the schedule of the tariff for :.pplicable to the industry concerned pr has been declared by the president of he United States to be excessive and Cre ndefensible. It therefore seems to fro ie especially appropriate f.,, the ing :tate, which has been called upon to of ntervene to determine how far the of )eneflciaries of government favors by lave complied with the terms under kn .vhlch those favors were granted." injt The governor recommends the ap. (2) ?ointment of a special legislative com. frT nittee with full power to summon T )ersons with books and papers and to Te ascertain all the facts bearing on the d' Strike. ove_ Ut Iad Argentina Breaks With Paraguay.

Urn oom Though no practical remedy for Texas root-rot has yet been discover- li th. ed, its evil effects may be largely overcome (1) by deep fall plowing, (2) by the rotation of resistant with nonresistant crops, and (3) by the in. corporation of organic matter into the ela. soil blic Legumes generally are not as much off affected by root-rot cs is cotton.
