who, with w. r. Roach, has been pro-
noting the enterprise. announces that
all but two options necessary to the
formation of the trust had been extend
ed until Dec. j. With the proviso that If
the consolidation is not effected before
April 10 the several Gamers shall
themselves can the summers crop.
Mr. Rause arrived in the city on
Wednesday afternoon and Immediately
proceeded to interview the different
Gamers interested. Whether or not the
options will be closed depends on the
decision of the United States court OF
appeals in cases affecting the patents
on the Chisholm Scott Company's pea

consolidation will require $l0,0O0,OOO
capital. This, said Mr. Rause, is ready
for investment in the enterprise.

Two Boston and Three New Yorl
Companies Join Control.

ment was made here that combina-
ton of trans Atlantic steamship COM
panies. embracing the Dominion and
Leyland lines of Boston. and the White
Star, the American, and the Atlantic
Transport lines of New York, had been
effected. The combination controls 20
steamers of all sizes and. 1t Is said.
has behind it large capital. 1t is de-
scribed as being more of a pooling of
interests than an amalgamation, and is
said to mean that there will be dis
tribution of tonnage in the different
ports. according to the demand. Bos-
ton interests believe that this will be
of great advantage to this city.
The movements of the boats of all
the lines will be directed from single
headquarters in London, at which
Henry Winding, director of the Ley
land, the Atlantic Transport. and the
American lines will preside.

HAS MONOPOLY IN CONVICTS.
Florida Company Makes Dimcu1ty
for Phosphate Miners.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Jan. 1.-THE
Camp Phosphate Company and all the
other phosphate companies which are en-
gagged IN n..-ing Florida phosphate are
at present meeting much trouble in Sc
curing free laborers to take the place
of the convicts, who have been returned
to the State and leased to the Florida
Naval Stores Company. This company
secured all the State convicts on long
lease, despite a hot fight made against
them by the other companies, who saw
the danger IL one concern got all the
convicts.
W. n. Camp, who is mining extensively
in Alachua County. is having no end of
difficulty in getting laborers. and the
same complaint is expected to continue
for months. He has begun to mine with
a small force of men, and has agents at
work looking up recruits. 1t will require
some time to supply this demand for
labor. and there is probability OF
trouble in the summer time. saen the
men do not like to work in the phosphate
Pits. and prefer other kinds of labor.
AS matter of fact, this labor question
as developed into a problem for the
miners. and they are much concerned in
reference to it. Free labor has proved
very unreliable In the past. and this is
cpe of the reasons why some of the
miners will pay almost as much for con-
yicts. The latter are always to be de-
Iended upon.

To Oppose Attacks.
The second resolution was based on the
belief that there is organized effort be-
ing made through the country to fncite
dissension between different crafts, and
that the best way to counteract this is for
all the local unions of the United Mine
Workers to Join the nearest central labor
union and in this way become members of
the American Federation of Labor. which
is given the credit OF consolidating all
crafts in the interests of organized labor.
The vote for the national board mem

The District Commissioners recently
received from Mr.. +. G. Eiker, of POOL
Kalorama Avenue, proposition to dedi-
cate to public use that part of Frankfort
Street between the Metropolitan branch
of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad and
Twelfth Street northeast, on certain con-
ditions, namely, that the street be filed
and macadamized.
Mr.. c. B. Hunt the Computing En-
gineer, in reporting to the Commission
ers on the subject. forwards a plat Of
the ground proposed TO be dedicated and
the grades which are required for the
street. He recommends that if the dedi-
cation is made as proposed that the Dis
trict will undertake to fill the street to
grade as an incident of other work
about to be done in the neighborhood. but
that no present assurance can be given
that the street will be macadamized.
Mr.. Hunt says that offers TO dedicate
streets on condition of their improve
ment are frequently received by the Com
nlissioners, but that these offers have been
generally denied. He says there are no
reasons why the practice of the depart
ment should be departed from in this in
stance.
