Statement by Button Workers of All Departments
The American Pearl Button Co employees detail the dispute with management over a five line button rule. They explain how the rule reduced wages for experienced cutters, triggered a walkout, and led to a temporary settlement and renewed work under protest. The parties, aided by Mr. Canfield from Washington, agree to a short temporary continuation while seeking adjustments.

Fir Tree Swallowed by Stronger Kindred
A Scientific American correspondent reports a remarkable Springfield Oregon find at Booth Kelly Lumber. A butt log four feet in diameter contained a smaller tree, estimating 215 years for the outer fir and 110 years for the inner core. The two trees likely pressed together as they grew, the smaller dying of shade while the larger continued to mature for about 75 more years before being felled.
