ACCOMPLISH NOTHING
SECOND DAY OF BIG WAGE CON.
FERENCE is PASSED IN
DISCUSSION.
MAY REACH A COMPROMISE

Kind Will Be Reached Soon-Gen-
eraI Strike Would Affect Eighty
Thousand Men-InvoIve All Steel
Trust Plants.
Pittsburg, July 13.-The second day
of the conference between the Anal
gamated Association of Iron, Steel and
Tin Workers and the manufacturers
came to a close without any agree
ment having been reached. Another
session will be held and from indica-
tions a settlement or general strike
will be decided upon. Although the
meetings are held behind closed doors
and the proceedings guarded with
great secrecy it is learned that the
entire day was given over to discus
sion, each side putting it's best foot
forward to gain point. Nothing,
however, was accomplished. When
the conference adjourned all of the
conferees were appealed to for infor-
nation as to the status of affairs, but
nothing definite could be learned.
However, President Shaffer of the
Amalgamated Association consented
to be quoted in the following state
ment:
Nothing actually was accomplished.
No proposition was submitted by
either side to the controversy. No
time limit has been set on the confer
ence, but it must come to an end, J
no agreement is reached the general
strike which was scheduled for last
Monday will proceed. am still
Hoping for Settlement"
When asked if, in the event of a
strike, it would involve all of the
plants of the United States Steel cor
poration, Mr.. Shaffer replied:
every union man in every plant in
any way connected with the steel
corporation will be called out and we
have many members in mills where
they are not suspected by the manu-
facturers."
A general strike, If ordered, would
include the union workers in the Fed
eral Steel company, the National Steel
company, the American Tin Plate
company, the American Sheet Steel
company and the American Steel Hoop
company and all members in non
union or open mills, aggregating about
$4,000 men, who would be affected.
But it is believed by conservative
steel men that compromise will be
reached and a strike averted. Presi-
dent Shaffer himself, while not stat
ing that he is prepared to initiate a
compromise, intimated that should
one come from the other side he would
gladly meet it half way and concede
anything not compromising the inter-
ests Of his people.

CROPS DAMAGED.
ChinCh Bugs, Rust and Other Things
Cutting Down the Yield.

The wheat crop will not be what it
has been expected to be if reports
brought in by individuals have general
application Mr. Door was in from
Nicollet county today and reports that
chinch bugs are rapidly eating up the
fields.
Fred Lossow of st. Clair reports
that rust and other things disadvan-
tageous to wheat are at work in his
section and will cut the yield down to
one-half what has been expected.
Reports from other directions tell
the same story. There has been so
much rain and hot weather that the
crop has run largely to straw. Now
that the grain is in the milk and the
time is the most critical, extreme hot
weather is injuring the size and quail
ity of the kernels The outlook for
the crop does not compare with what
it did two weeks ago, or even week
ago.

In Kansas City they are trying to
unite all the commercial, mercantile,
and trade organizations into a great
chamber of commerce, and the various
trade organizations and the newspa-
pers are working to that end. The
business men have it brought home
to them often how necessary coopera-
ton is in city building, and how desir-
able it is to combine in public pro-
jects upon common standing ground.
Here in this city we start out with a
central organization, which is being
run on the department plan" is being
so satisfactory in other cities. 1t
would be the height of folly to permit
the body to become decentralized. Ev-
cry effort should be made to keep the
central body intact, and then diversity

TWO ALTERNATIVE COURSES OF
ACTION LOOKING TOWARD GET
TING A DAM OR TWO IN THE RIO
GRANDE.

There are some people in Ell PasC
who are making a mistake, in weaken
ing in the position they assumed, per-
sonally and officially, with regard to
the vexed dam question. At the meet
ing the other day, Mr.. Turney made a
vigorous statement of his experiences
in Washington. Not all that he SAID
was published in The Herald. although
it was taken down verbatim, because
it would not be polite to print it all.
But certainly those who were present
were highly enlightened by the sena-
tors account.
The sentiment was developed at the
meeting, to change front again, and
turn in to fight the Elephant Butte
scheme, and the people Of New Mexico,
in the effort to get the Ell Paso dam
at all hazards. The matter cannot be
said to have been fully discussed, but
at least some of those present evinced
a disposition to go back on all that had
preceded, and take action diametrical-
ly opposed to that action taken only a
few months ago.
Ell Paso does not wish to seem to be
acting in bad faith il this thing. The
people of this city, after mature delib-
GRAFTON, lasting several years, came to
the conclusion that no good would
come of prolonging the fight against
the interests of New Mexico. into
which, unconsciously, they had been
drawn. When the chamber of COM
merce took action. recommending the
discontinuance of the litigation on the
part of the government, and favoring
the due recognition of the rights and
necessities of New Mexico, that action
truly represented the sentiments of a
majority [ the thinking men of the
community.
This sentiment has not changed. We
want water for irrigation, but there are
a good many intelligent people in Ell
Paso who have got to be shown how
antagonizing New Mexico will help Ell
Paso, before they will consent to the
use of the name of the city or the
chamber of commerce to perpetrate an
act of bad faith. 1t is not necessary to
deviate from the policy already laid
down. If. as Senator Turney said, the
New Mexico people had got ahead of

Why the matter should be numbered
ND with a lot of committees and reso-
lutions and deferred action it is hard
to tell, when the exposition opens
May first.
Ell Paso is going to have the exhibit,
because it is absolutely necessary that
she should. But it would be mighty
good thing to turn the whole project
over to Professor Carrera, with full
authority to get up an exhibit and
represent this section at Buffalo. With
any sort of support from the people of
Ell Paso he will be able to make up a
fund in the surrounding country, and
arrange for an exhibit that will open
the eyes of the eastern people. But it
takes man who will work to do these
things. and little less cold water con-

Then came the more refined order of

ample of Bismarck enjoying literary
staff to further ambitious projects
which shook thrones and shattered dy-
nasties.
Today the man with the pen is a
firm fixture in politics. and whether the
fate of a pending bill or the question of
war or peace be involved in the issue,
the literary bureau yields potent in
fiuence for good or i'll. When an &C
tive man suddenly disappears from the
platform of fame or subsidies into OBJ
security the question should not be
what has become of him. but where is
his press agent?
The world moves on. Old methods
are discarded and new ones take their
place. The press agent has taken his
place in the line of march and is car
rying a banner. He is a power work
ing with the silent ways of destiny.

They do some things better in Kan

ment is startling. shocking to some OF
our most rabid Texaphiles. and the
square jawed Carrie comes tripping
along to sit beside us in our mind IS
eye. But Kansas has a better regis
tration law than Texas has. In Kan
sas, in those cities where registra-
ton is required, citizens can find an
officer at a designated place ready to
enter names of qualified voters upon
the books any business day of the year,
with the exception of the ten days pre-
ceding an election. If this plan were
combined with the payment of a poll
tax not less than six months in ad-
vance of any election, it would be well
nigh perfect. The time is coming some
day, some day, when the corrupt politi-
clan will not be the whole thing, and
the honest voter will have a show for
his white alley. A first step IN the re-
form is to see that the new constitu-
tional amendment for Texas is carried
