END OF STRIKE NOT REACHED.
An Interview With Mitchell. Mines Won
Start Up Monday.
(By the Associated Press.)

HaZletOn, Pa, Oct. 20.-PreSident
Mitchell, of the United Mine Workers.
practically admitted to a representative
of the Associated Press today that if
every operator in the region were to post
notices similar to those that are now be-
ing tackled up by some of the mine own
ers, this action would in itself probably
not end the strike. He was asked if all
the companies were to post notices what
his next step would be. At first he hest
tated and then replied:
Under the conditions laid down by the
Scranton miners convention there could
be no partial resumption Of work.
When it was suggested that his replv
did not answer the question he said.
We'll, all l will say is that if all the
companies post notices it would clear IN
matters considerably. 1t would remove
some of the obstacles that now present
themselves"
President Mitchell tonight issued a
signed statement in which he condemned
reports published in some newspaners
that the strikers had desecrated a ceme-
terry IN Hazleton. He said he had made
a careful investigation and could find no
eViuence that fastened the offence on any
OF the strikers in the slightest.
Continuing, Mr.. Mitchell said:
Il also wish to deny the absurd state
Ihehts that nave appeared in the columns
OF some OF the metropolitan papers to the
eHect that we contemplate naugurating q
national strike of coal miners on Anril
ist' Inc relations between the bituminous
coal operators and our organization arc
entirely harmonious and our aereementc
are made in Joint conference and last for
one year. We fond!y hope that the an
tnraclte operators and miners will alec
adopt this humane and progressive meth
od or adjusting the wage scale in the I'm
ture, thus making strikes and lockorts

WILL THE FARMERS STAND?

There is a sharp contest going on
now in the cotton world. The cotton
crop is very short. The best authori-
ties agree that it is under ten million
bales and some have put the crop at
nine million bales. Practically there
is none of last years crop on hand.
The world needs over eleven million
bales. 1t will have less than ten mil
lion bales. Under these circumstances,
cotton ought to bring eleven or
twelve cents. Early in the season it
brought over ten cents and was going
up every day until the English and
other mill owners began their fight
to press down the price of cotton.
Then the price went down and down
until it has been put down to nine
cents. There is nothing in the cotton
conditions to warrant 80 low a price.
The farmers, who sold largely when
the price was ten cents, are nOw hold
ing their cotton for a better price.
If the law Of supply and demand
prevails the farmers will get more
than ten cents for their cotton. There
are many reasons to believe that the
large mill men will try to destroy that
law. The New York Commercial. un-
der flaming headlines. publishes the
following special from New Orleans:
New Orleans. Oct. ia. ]. Buston. of
Liverpool, Eng, one of the best known
cotton experts in the world. reached here
today, after making his usual tour through
the Southern States for the purpose of ex-
| aiming the cotton crop, and t~elegraphed
| the result Of his examination to the Man

Mr.. Buston thinks the cotton crop will
/ not be as small as lately estimated, but
| will mount up to 10. $50, 900 bales. and may
be higher, if there is a hate frost.
RESULT OF INSPECTION.
Mr.. Buston's reasons for believing the
| crop is an average one are:
The size of the bolls, as compared with
| last year, is much larger.
1.-The yield of lint per acre is tar in ex-
/ cess of last year, as reported from the gin
houses.
"The staple is everywhere far superior
to that of last year.
'The weight of the bales is also much
heavier than last year.

planters contend that picking will be over

q S AND PRICES.

We are sometimes told that there
are no trusts; that there are good
trusts and bad trusts; and that if
there are trusts, they cheaper prices
and are necessary a d%juncts Of this
progressive age. Whatever else may
be said about the trusts one thing is
true: they have increased the cost of
living. The New York World quotes
from Dun's Review for January 18th,
1900, the following increase of prices
in some of the lines controlled by the
trusts:
THE Nail trust increased the price Of
nails from $1.10 on January 4, 1899. to
$3.50 on January 3, 1900. The same trust
increased the price of wire nails from
S1.35 to SO. 20 during the same period.
The Structural Iron Company increased
the price of structural angles from $1.15 on
January 4, 1899, to 1925 on January 3,
1860.
The Coal Trust increased the price of
anthracite coal from s3.75 on January 4,
1899, to 1870 on January 3, 1900.
THE Glass Trust increased the price of
glass from $2.57 on January 4, 1899, to
$3.50 on January 8. 1900.
THE Rubber Trust increased the price
of rubber from "a cents on January 4,
1899, to $1.45 on January 3, 1900.
THE prices of boots and shoes, con-
trolled by the Leather Trust. show an
increase during the year 1899 on mems
grain shoes from 81 cents to Slip, on
Creedmore splits from 95 cents to s1.1O,
and a like increase on all grades of boots
and shoes.
The prices of cotton goods increased

The Gratiot County Herald, one of the

last week with a very creditable Christmas
number.
Henry G. Ward, of Pontiac, wants to buy
5000, 900 pounds of choice leaf tobacco Of
the farmers next year. This will give the
farmers of this part of Michigan an ex-
cellent market for all the tobacco they can
raise, as Ward wants considerably more
than will he grown in Michigan In FIVE
years.

From the advance copy of the Michigan

''in most parts of the state the fall pasture

to know that it has been good, even at this

reads little like ancient history to talk
about fall pasture.

Women's Club Concerts.

The first number of the Women's Club
concert course occurs this evening at the
Baptist church when three of the country's
finest artists In music will appear before an
OwOsso audience for the first time. The
numbers will be given by George HamliD,
who is today generally regarded as Americas
greatest tenor, and by Miss Elaine De-
Sellem, contr alto who Is also u:Ost
favOrably known. Mr.. Arthur Durham,
who is regarded as Chicago's finest organist
This, the opening number of the course,
should be greeted with as large an audience
as the church can comfortably seat in spite
of the short time which has elapsed since
the date of the concert was decided upon.
The second concert of the series will be
given on January IS, while the third, which
has not been definitely arranged and will
not be until the financial success of the
series is so nearly assured as to warrant the
additional expense of securing 1t, will not
be given until some time IN February. The
January concert will be given by Miss
Gertrude Judd, ColOratura Soprano; Mr..
Leon Marx, first volinist with the Thomas
Orchestra; and Miss Eliza s. Denham,
accompanist. There are also several artists
already under consideration for the third
concert aud the management of the series
holds out the names of Mr.. Alfred Hoffman,
Cellist; Anna Lawrence, Harpist; and Clara
Henley Bussinp, Soprano, as being quite
likely to form the company which will
entertain the Owosso audience OF music
lovers that night. The entire series is, 1t
should be needless to say, of the highest
possible grade, such as few Owosso citizens
would feel that they could afford to miss II
they had the opportunity to bear them In
