At the sixty-third annual meeting Of
the New England Cotton Manufactur-
ers' Association last week Mr.. j. S. Da-
vis, OF Holyoke, Mass, presented pa
per on FLAX Culture and the Manufac-
ture OF Linen in Place of Coarsey Cot
tons in New England" Among other
things the speaker said: at seems in
evitable that the manufacture of coar-
ser cottons will be gradually trans
ferred to the south. Indeed, II this
movement toward the south continues
at the increased pace of the last ten
years the south will be making the
larger part of the coarser cottons man
ufactured in this country. The New
England cotton manufacturers must
face this fact squarely and with the
same indomitable courage and enter
prise with which they have faced the
many obstacles Of the past" Further
on the speaker stated that the produc-
tion Of the fax fiber has fallen from
81. 1873. .034 pounds in 1869 to 100000
pounds in 1897. In 1910 $4,000. 600 yards
of linen were made in this country,
whereas at present we import $50, ,000.-
900 worth of linen annually. 1t was
suggested that the abandoned farms OF
New England are peculiarly adapted
to the culture OF fax and that many
idle cotton mills could be profitably
converted into linen mills.

A plea for the enactment OF legisla-
ton giving railroad commissions n
greater degree Of control over the roads
than they at present exercise was put
forth In the report of the committee
on proposed legislation to the tenth
annual convention OF railroad commits
sioners which recently met at Wash
ington. In the view OF the commit
tee no power exists in the courts or
the commissions to grant adequate re-
lief against abuses. One direction in
which 1t was suggested that action
could be taken was in relation to tho
supervision and control of the account
ing OF railroads. No books, II was sug-
gested. should be allowed to be kent
except such as were accepted and ap.
proved by law or regulation, and tho
same should always be kept open 10
examination by government agents.
every detail should be spread upon
these records and every transaction
duly recorded. and such publicity
should be given to the entries ns
would protect the public and the
stockholder alike. In this way Tho
report contended, fictitious values
false statements and artistic jugglIns
OF figures would be eliminated. and
with them all the attendant mystif,ca.
tion that now surrounds the accom-,
books OF many railroad corporations
The demand for greater publicity in
relation TO corporate management Is
one which Is backed by strong and
growing public sentiment.

GIFT OF THE TEACHERS
GENEROUS DONATION TO KEEP
MILL CITY SCHOOLS OPEN
Salary as Their Share if Citizens
VIII Raise t!le Remaining $50
Mass Meeting to Discuss tEe cues
tiOn to BE Held Today.

In view of the aggressive work be-
ing done by citizens and neWSpa pers
to continue the Minneapolis schools
open the full forty weeks as scheduled,
the teachers have decided to donate
two weeks of their time so as to give
the pupils the necessary amount Of
preparation to fit them for the open
ing Of the schools next term.
Two important meetings were held
at the Central high school yesterday
to discuss the question. The first was
secret at which resolutions were talk
ed over and prepared. The second was
the regular teachers meeting. Several
papers were read on general education
al topics, after which the question of
greatest interest was taken UP.
w. f. Webster, of the East Side high
school, presented the proposition for
the teachers to donate two weeks of
their time. Mr.. Webster thought it
was wrong that the schools should be
the first to feel the loss. If the board
continues the school year to eight and
a half months, and the citizens add
100000 for another month. that will
leave one-half of a month to fill out
the full forty weeks, and the teachers,
he thought, would see that it was so
ordered.
Mrs. Crays stated as an Individual
and not as a representative OF the
DOdrO, IndL all IndL cOulu De uOle Sue
would do. Yes. we Will accept the gift
of the people," she said, ''if it is given,
but we do not like to borrow"
w. K. Hicks followed with hearty
Endorsement of the above remarks.
The following resolutions, submit
ted by Miss Guptil, principal of the
Grant school, were unanimously adopt
ed:
Whereas, We learn that an effort is be-
ing made on the part of the citizens of
Minneapolis to prolong the present school
year to June 10 next; we, teachers Of the
public school, hereby
Resolve. First, that we appreciate the i'm
portant service that would be rendered to
our city, to our schools and to the body of
teachers, by the successful execution of
the proposed plans; second. that we extend
greatful acknowledgements to those who
have suggested the plan, and to all who may
help US in carrying it forward; third, that
We pledge our hearty support to th5se who
are actively engaged in maturing and exc
cutting the proposed plans.
A committee of five was elected from
the floor to carry the matter to the
board of education.
The motion, which was heartily re
ceived amidst great applause, was that
the committee be further instructed to
return with a report from the board
as to just what will be the nature of
the contracts and the salaries for next
term. Before the vote was taken, w.
K. Hicks arose and hastily explained
that the matter was now under con-
sideration by the board, and that what
was right would be done.
