The Mt,ti3s0 Troubles.

NEW YORK, April 21.-A special from
Pottsville says the meeting of the Ex-
ecutive Board of the Miners Union has
been called for the 22d inst, when the
question will be discussed and voted on
whether to continue the strike or not.
The propositions to lie voted on are: First
That the demand for the two dollars and
seventy-five cents and three dollar basis
be Withdrawn, on the ground that we
are willing to make that much conces-
sion to the protessed necessity of our
operators, and that the demand is not
general throu ,hout the region.
Second, That the members of the
Unions shall return to work for whoever
will pay the prices regardless Of whether
1t be signed for a year or not, but that
no coal be shipped from the colleries
of the Philadelphia and . Reading
Coal and Iron Company until such time
as final settlement shall have been
made by the colleries OF the Coal Ex-
change and Miners and Laborers' Be-
nevoIent Association.
Many miners are leaving the region to
seek employment elsewhere. The re-
suit OF next Thursdays meeting is anx-
iously looked for, as it is generally con-
ceded that II left to direct vote of the
miners there will be resumption of
work in every collery.

Flax Seed.

A correspondent writes from Ellsworth
county asking where he can secure sixty
to one hundred bushels of fax seed at
lowest cash rates.-Kansas Farmer.
A few weeks ago we published an
article Oh fax culture, ur ;ing our
farmers to investigate and look into the
matter. Our article has been copied
extensively throughout the State. The
Ellsworth Reporter, recognizing its
Importance, published it nearly entire
and urged the citizens of that county to
give fax culture fair trial. 1t has had
the desired effect, as will lie seen by
the quotation above. We have contrib
uted our mite toward introducing this
important matter in that section of the
State, at least.
Although there was 1898 bushels of
seee produced in Kansas this year, and a
still greater yield is expected next year,
the demanl will remain in excess of the
supply, and hence flax will command a
good price. 1t is not troubled by insect
pests, nor by drouth, and will, no doubt,
be one of Kansas most valuable crops.
Atchiso.. nty. although one of the
smallest in E..o state in territorial area,
produced more flax this year than any
other in the State, or 22,7O7 bushels.
Brown county which joins Ate .ison on
the northwest. produced 1870 bushels:
and Jackson which joins Atchison ON the
west produced 1875 bushels. These
three counties, embracing only about
cne-fftieth part of the area of the State,
produced nearly one third OF the fax
grown in.Kansas during the past season.
Now, if these counties which are not
near as we'll adspte to the commodity
as is our own county can boast of such
success in this line, why cannot we
profit by their example. The increase
in the growth of fax will be very large
for some years to come. And We hone
that a mill for utilizing the product,
both seed and fibre, will soon be estab-
lished at some good point in this county.
Such an enterprise could not fail to be
su cefdl. The raw ma erial CO. Id be
supplied in abundance. and the saving
in freights, and by manufacturing in a
country where the product is 80 extern
sively grown, and the oil manufactured
from it so extensively sold, would be
enormous. A hint to the wise is suffi-
cient. L
