The planters propose to unite for the pur-
M. Sc of breaking up this monopoly, Their
nIah Is to refuse to sell to any of the mills

thew think will compel achange OF policy.
The amount thus lost by the planters Will

THE PLANTERS COMBINE.
NEW ORLEANS, LA, Sept. 20. - A
movement which has been on foot in this
state and Mississippi for sometime TO or
ganlze the cotton planters In opposition to
the American Cotton Oil Min company
has finally been perfected. The Trust
company is a syndicate which has OBJ
tanned control OF eighty cotton.seed oil
mills in the South, producing very
Being without competitors or opposition
1t is able to control and monopolize the
business In New Orleans, where 1t owns
all the oil mills but one, IL has closed
three and will thus be able to run with
fewer hands. The company has de-
cidcd to pay only 80 per ton for seed
on the river bank, as against
much larger rates in past years.
The complaint Is made by the
planters that with the cost OF hauling seed
to the river this rate will leave them moth
ing. 1t is proposed that they shall COM
bine and force the mills to give better
price, and that to this end they shall re-
fuse to sell cake seed to mills for year
to come, forcing the latter to remain idle,
and thus breaking up their monopoly.
BY such action 1t is claimed the
planters will lose very little, while IL the
seed is used as fertilizer IL will restore
the fertility of their lands and repay them
far more than the insignificant sum paid
by the mills. Estimating the cost of
bringing the cotton seed to the river bank
at So per ton, the planters are now re-
celving only about 60 cents per
ton for their seed. The plan has
received the warm Endorsement of the
country press of the two state. 1t is
proposed to agitate planters organiza-
ton through the South in opposition to
the American company, and II possible to
send representatives to the different dis
tricts to point out 10 farmers the advan-
tage of united action.

To the Editor of the Gazette.
The good citizens OF the state have seen
fit to donate to the poor sufferers of this
county little provision to help them, and
1t seems that the men who sent pro-
visions here intended them for the labor
ing men and the drought sufferers to
have them, instead of sharing with
the dead-heads while they are at home
and not at work trying to make something
to live on. The dead-heads are at the
place, ready, just as soon as the provis-
ions come, to get all they can, and these
men do not try to help themselves. There
is another class of men who own. cattle
horses, sheep and goats. These men are
always ready to draw rations. There are
some widows and orphans here and some
men who are invalids. They do not get
anything; they do not get there in time
So, II the good citizens Of this state Of
any other state want to help us, let then
get the names of the people who are
actually In need, and send direct to then
and they will get 1t. We do not beg, bu
II the people will help us, let them tax,
our names and we will pay for it whel
we can. Yours Fraternally, r. S. A.

NEW YORK TROUBLES
NEW YORK, Sept. 29.--Tne strike OF the
pressmen and feeders is spreading. The
men In the employ of Theodore Devine
went out yesterday. Devine WAS willing
to pay SIP week to his men, but would
not agree to pay as much to boys. About
forty men and boys stopped work. They
say they will not go back until their de-
mand for an increase has been granted.
About eighteen men and boys en-
ployed by the Jones Printing company
at No. AZ Broad street also left
their work yesterday. In none of the
shops, except that of the Burr Printing
company have the printers been locked
out. The men in the Office of the Trow
Printing company have no made demands
as YET, but 1t is expected that they will in all
probability 90 on strike. Other unions
in the printing trade will give the press
men and feeders necessary support in this
strike. t..a
AT meeting of the Master Plumbers
association held yesterday the story told
by the men of so many of their number
being at work on the cooperative plan
was ridiculed. The question of calling q
meeting OF the Eastern state presidents OF

and 1t is probable that such meeting
will be held.
The stone-cutters and rubbers met
yesterday. 1t was said that the fight was
not altogether due to the trouble in Han.
