COTTON GROWERS CONFERENCE

ton.

ton.
Macon, Ga, May 12.-The cotton
growers convention held at Macon to-
day was one of the largest
tions of representative planters and
business men ever held in Georgia.
The convention was called for the pur-
pose of affecting an organization of the
cotton planters which would enable
them to secure better price for cotton.
Five hundred delegates were pres
ent, representing every county in the
state, and including planters, ware
hOusemen, manufacturers, bankers,
merchants and lawyers.
The convention was addressed by
Hon. Hoke Smith, Hon. Pope Brown,
president of the State Agricultural
Society; Hon. j. F. Hanson, Harvey
Jordan, /. B. English others.
Mr.. Smith in his address said in sub
stance hat the south's cotton CROP is
further-reaching in it's effect than any
cher product of the soil, it's aggregate
annual value being over $500, 600, 900.
a the money paid for cotton raised
in the United States amounted to fifty
billion dollars; Of this amount, eleven
billion dollars was received for cotton
exported. He said that in fifty years
the consumption of cotton had increas-
ed from $500, 900 bales annually to 49,
600, 900 annually, an increase of 700 per
cent. He advised the farmers of the
south to organize so as to control the
marketing Of their crop on such a
basis IS would secure to them it's real
| value.
The convention concluded with the
organization of the Georgia Cotton
Growers Association.
The plan upon which the work of or
ganizing the farmers is to be effected
was referred to the committee on or
ganization and the executive commit
tee jointly-the convention ratifying,
in advance, any plan that might be
adopted.
Macon was chosen as permanent
headquarters of the association.

THE STRIKE IN ST LOUIS.
All Efforts at a Settlement UnSuccess-
ful-Federal Authorities Likely to
Interfere

ST. Louis. May 12.-An earnest effort
was made today to settle the street
railway strike by means of arbitration
along the lines suggested by w. H.
Woodward and other employees of union
labor.
The efforts came to nothing, how
ever, as the strikers and street car
companies could not be brought to-
gether on any proposition involving the
recognition of the union in the manner
desired. Another effort will be made
Monday.
With the assistance of the police the
Transit Company succeeded in getting
three more of it's line open today, al
though n was put temporarily out of
commission by cut wires n barri-
cades. No cars were run after z
o'clock p. m. on any of the lines.
In general, the fifth day of the strike
was rather quiet. A few cases of vio-
lence were reported and some shoot
ing was done, but without serious re-
suits. A number Of arrests on minor
charges growing out of the present diff
f1culties were reported.
In East ST. Louis, where a strike is
supposed to be in progress, nearly all
he n are being operated as usual.
That the federal authorities are
watching the strike situation closely is
shown by the statement of United
States District Attorney Roster. Mr..
Roster demands that the mail cars be
not interfered with, whether by barri-
cading the roadways, cutting the wires
or in any w a and his talk contains a
threat hat the United States govern
ment may yet take a hand in the strike.
1t is likely the strikers and their SYM
pathizers will heed the warning.
No street cars will be run in St. Lotus
Sunday. Chief of Police Campbell con-
sidered it necessary that his men should
have some rest and refused to detail
them to keep the street car lines open
tomorrow.

washington. Oct. l.-There is now
little probability that an armor plate
plant will be erected by the United
States government. After conference
with the representatives of the Carne-
gie and the Bethlehem Steel Company
yesterday afternoon Secretary Long
said that he believed the construction
of an armor plate factory would rot be
necessary The secretary intimated
the strong probability OF an agreement
being reached among the armor plate
manufacturers relative to the bids for
g$15, 900, 900 worth of work to be done for
the navy department.
a naval officer said last night that he
believed the contract would be split up
and that the large concerns would get
the greater part OF the work. the price
to be about $445 ton. prompt delivery
being an imperative specification. The
contract will probably not be awarded
until after the election.
