Collective bargaining is the method adopted by the clothing Industry in Rochester to solve its labor problems. Manufacturers declare that it has been f-h successful here that the National Industrial Federation of Clothing. Manufacturers has been formed to' deal with a national organization of the workers. In a time when strikes have been frequent in other industries there has been peace in this industry here, except in one plant which is not a , party to the- agreement between the employers and workers.
Shoe manufacturers of Rochester
have adopted the plan and ended a utrike by an agreement similar to that In the clothing trade. Under these agreements, the strike and lockout are believed to have been, eliminated and the open shop prevails. The union relinquished its claim for a closed shop. One of the labor managers, representing the employers, says that the union suffered no loss by doing so, but that on the contrary the number of clothing workers organised has increased from 50 per cent of the total employed to 90 or 85 per cent.

JAMES KNOX POLK
James Knox Folk was the first dark horse to win the presidential race, and his figure remains among the pale shadows in the procession of presidents across the pages of history. His personal biography being hardly more than a catalogue of the office through which he has passed without leaving a mark behind him, this must be mostly a story of the remarkable circumstances whose creature he was. The Pollocks, whose name, from being pronounced "Poll'k," came finally to be spelled Polk, were among those immigrants from Ireland like the Jacksons who took up in America the resistance to British, rule which they had carried on unsucesafully in their native island. The president's grandparents, both the Polks anJ the Knoxes. were Irish born and prominent in the revolutionary struggle In North Carolina. When he was yet a boy, the family of James K. moved to Tennessee, where he was too frail for frontier farming and was put to work behind the counter of a cross-roads store. After a time in that excellent preparatory BChool of life he returned to his native state to enter college and he graduated from the University of North Carolina-

faces. Clay faltered In the campaign. Quibbling, qualifying and taking a back track, he went down at the election under the indignation of the abo
litionists, who polled enough votes for
their third ticket to cause his defeat. Polk lost Tennessee at the polls, and Is the only man, with the sole exception of Wilson in 1916, who has been1- elected without his own state.
For several days the national election was in doubt, with the result hanging
on a complete count in New York.
At last it was found that Polk had
sent to the Tennessee legislature i carried the state by 6,000 thanks to
married Sarah Childress, daughter of the Liberty party, which had drawn
a well-to-do man of business, and went
to congress for fourteen years, in the course of which he became first the Jackson -leader of the house and finally speaker. Next he took his seat aa Governor of Tennessee for a term. After having been twice defeated in his effort to obtain a second election to the Governorship, those defeats were immediately crowned with the

GREENCASTLE. Ind., June 1 An Interurban car on the Terre Haute, Indianapolis and Eastern traction line
ran wild on the hills west or the city when the automatic air control of the car refused to work. From the local station west for 10 or 15 miles the tracks are on steep grades and when the car left the station, the first Hal K. Green, the motorman, knew that the air was not working was when he attempted to stop In the edge of the city to let oft passengers. Prom that time on the heavy car gained momentum rapidly and at times was said to have averaged from
60 to 80 miles an hour. All that prevented a collision was the fact that no east-bound cars were in its path. ( The motorman and W. H. Roby. conductor,, both of this city, after considering plans, finally decided on one to control the runaway car. As It neared John's stop it slowed down on the upgrade, and Mr. Green put a "chock" under the front wheel and stopped it, after it had run more than six miles.

senate aim uuuoo
ity candidate who failed of nomination until three-quarters of a century afterward, when Champ Clark lost to Woodrow Wilson in another Baltimore convention. After seven ballots had been cast
the Southern plotters against Van Buren obtained an adjournment for
the purpose of hatching their plot in
the night. In those days, when the states were called in their geographical order, New Hampshire wras second on the roll and the delegation
from that New England state was
craftily chosen to spring the name of
Polk. Then camo that now-familiar
convention maneuver which is called
stampede, with delegates wildly
chasing the bandwagon.
It was in the first year of the tele
graph, and when the name of Clay
was ticked off as the nominee of the
Whig convention at Baltimore those
wiseacres of Washington, who still regarded Morse as an impostor, said
that the trick was easy, since any one
could have guessed who the Whig nominee would be. Three weeks afterward, when the Inventor at the capital spelled out the name of Polk as the Democratic nominee, the doubting Thomases were convinced that he was a fraud. They scoffed at such an absurdity and were not persuaded of
the truth until the arrival of a train from Baltimore.
The new telegraph also served to
carry back from Washington Silas
Wright's declination of the second place, to which that New York sen
ator had been nominated as a consola
tion for the Van Buren men, and the convention had to choose another nominee for vice-president.
The Whigs everywhere greeted the Democratic nominee with the de
risive inquiry, "Who is Polk?" It
stumped even loyal Democrats, like the steamboat captain who faithfully shouted, when told the news: "Hurrah for what'd'ye say his name is?" The obscurity of "Jim" Polk, which
that smug, unsmiling, uninspired lit
tle man of respectable abilities had preserved even on the eminence of the speaker's chair, was deepened by the shining fame of Van Buren, whom he had displaced at the convention, and of Clay, against whom he was matched before the people. Those two statesmen had taken it for granted that they were to be the champions of their respective parties. History
suspects tnai tney concoctea in a friendly visit two letters which appeared suspiciously close together
and which were suspiciously alike in discouraging the annexation of Texas at risk of war with Mexico.

Britains Argentine Debt To Be Extinguished Soon (By Associated Press) BUENOS AIRES, June 1 Although the agreement on the part of the British government to pay off the $50,000,000 owed by Argentina to United States bankers, payable May 15, has
been halted here as "an act of friend
ship," official publicity has not yet been given to the understanding in banking circles that the agreement
was only a conditional part of an ingenious financial arrangement which
enables Great Britain to pay her own $100,000,000 debt to Argentina without sending to this country a single cent. Not only Is this $50,000,000 to be
credited by Argentina against Great Britain's obligation, but the remaining $50,000,000 after being renewed, is to be gradually extinguished through an arrangement whereby Great Britain for a certain period pays in London

Argentlnas external debt, bankers hve learned.

PLANT A TREE? HERE IS HOW TO DO IT RIGHT Going to plant a tree? Here aro suggestions as to how to do it: All tree plantings should be preceded by careful preparation of the soil. Holes for trees should be at least a foot wider than the spread of the roots. In heavy clay soils, holes should be deep enough to afford good drainage. Holes phouldv be as large or larger at the bottom than at the top. All broken and mutilated roots should be cut off clean. Holes should be sufficiently large to allow spreading of roots in natural position. Good soil should be provided for planting. Planting too deeply should be avoided. Trees should be set a little lower than when growing in the nursery. Mounding up around the stems after planting should be avoided.
