Enqineers' Demands.

A demand for an Increase in wages was
discussed at a secret session of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers in
Chicago yesterday. At the national con-

AFTER THE COTTON MEN.
Producers Want Tare on the Bale
Reduced to y Pounds.

At the recent meeting of the Far
mers' National Congress in Macon the
following resolution was adopted:
"We, the representative of the cot
ton producing states in session assem-
bled at Macon, Ga. October s, 1902, OBJ
iect to the recent ruling of the South
ern Cotton Buyers Association, de-
manding a reduction of so cents per
bale on all square cotton having a COW
ering of more than six yards OF bag
ging and six bands unless the tare on
export cotton is reduced TO a net basis
of twenty-five pounds per bale. We
insist that the tare on all square cot
ton be reduced to uniform basis of
twenty-five pounds per bale and that
the foreign splnners in making the
price on square cotton deduct only
twenty-five pounds per bale from the
spinners' price to the producer. We
further resolve that if such uniform
deduction for tare is not made by the
spinners of the world that we urge all
iute bagging be manufactured to uni
form weight of two pounds per yard
and all producers use six yards of such
bagging and six bands per bale. We
further insist that unless the European
buyers agree to said reduction that all
producers continue to place nine yards
of bagging and six bands on all square
bales OF cotton, thereby demanding
and securing the full benefit of the
present tare allowed of thirty pounds
per square bale of tare. Resolved fur
Their. that in case the cotton buyers OF
the south refuse to accept our terms,
which are fair and just to all parties,
that the Cotton Growers Association
of each township or county select some
suitable person and sell direct to the
spinners through such representa-
tives.
"ResoIyed further, that we respect
fully ask alfpapers in the south and
elsewhere to publish these resolu-
tions."

THE COTTON MERGER.
Mills of the South to Combine
With S2O,OOO,OOO Capital.

Will the merging of about seventy
of the southern cotton mills have
blighting effect on cotton manufacture
ing in the south? We do not suppose
this question was considered by those
interested ia what is called the "Fries
cotton mill merger" Their only idea
was to lessen the cost of production
and the fierceness of competition.
The mills that are to be merged are
all of one class, and are in the states
OF Virginia, North Carolina, South
Carolina, Georgia, Alabama and Ten
nessee. The capital of the merged
concern will be $2O,OO0,O00, distributed
as follows: Bonds $4,000, 1000; PREFER
ed stock 100000, and common stock
$1,000, 900.
1t sseems from the account OF the
merger sent out that the greatest care
is to be taken not to permit any one
of the properties to be over capitaliz-
ed. No ore of the mills is to be taken
into the concern until committee APP
pointed for the purpose of passing up
On it's value has acted favorably upon
it's application.
The inference from the dispatches is
that for some of the properties cash
and stock of the consolidated concern
will be given and for others only stock.
Why this discrimination is made is
not apparent from the announcement
of the merger that has been publish
ed.
1t may be that this merger will
check the construction of mills of the
class of which it is composed for
awhile, but it can do the south no per-
maneut harm. The manufacturing OF
cotton in the south is bound to grow
until the greater part of the cotton
crop is manufactured near the cotton
fields.-Savannah News.

with the ginning industry in each
county and of promptly reporting the
quantity of cotton ginned.
The statistics for the October report
will be collected during the week be-
ginning with Monday, October 20, and
ginners should keep such records as
will enable them TO furnish promptly
the required information. These re-
turns will be tabulatcd and the result
published within one week from their
receipt at Washington.
Cotton statistics collected through
the commercial system, however accu-
rately compiled, fall short of the de-
mand of both producer and manufact-
urer-hrst, in that as they cover the
quantity of cotton marketed between
September l one year and October 81
of the following year they are not sta
tistics of crop grown in any one year;
and second, in the liability to error in
volycd in statistics so compiled. Moth
ing short of official reports made sutti-
ciently early to form basis of prices
will entirely satisfy the cotton grower
or manufacturer. 1t is gratifying to
know that the south has the assistance
and cooperation of the government in
bringing about the result they desire
an undertaking the success OF which
now depends upon the cotton growers
and ginners themselves.

6Rl6Gs AS A PARTY LEADER
From the Atlanta Constitution.

w OOHSJltuttOu'
At this stage of the campaign it
seems inevitable that the democrats
will win a majority of the members of
the next house of representatives and
will thus be enabled not to complete
legislation but TO defeat such as may
be republican and bad, and to initiate
proposals that will Indicate to the PEG
pie the program of the democracy.
In that event 10 man can be regard
ed as worthier of recognition as the
legitimate leader of the party than
Congressman Griggs, who organized
and fought the battle to a victorious
finish. He will become in the house,
as in his district, the logical successor
of the lamented exSpeaker Charles
Frederick Crisp. And in the van of
the party no man in sight would offer
safer guarantees of loyalty, fidelity to
duty and wisdom in leadership than
Congressman Griggs. He is a strong
man for public affairs and stands four
square as a democrat of the trueblue
order.
We believe the foremost men of the
party think as we have written. aud
that when the hour arrives to desig-
nate the party leader in congress,
whether to preside for majority or
be spokesman for powerful minority,
the name of our gallant Georgian,
Judge Griggs, will lead all the rest.

The present campaign of the con-
gressional democratic committee has
been one of the most thorough going
and. promising that the party has eX-
perienced in many years. At first the
republican experts were disposed to
be facetiOus over the election to the
craftsmanship of the committee OF
Georgia cracker congressman who had
not previously won his spurs as a ma
tional political leader. For the mo-
ment they forgot that Georgia has al
WAYS been one of the foremost schools
OF craftsmanship in the south and that
the cracker always plays politics for
keeps.
Since the campaign opened the re-
publicans and, sooth TO say, many ma
tional democrats have been awakened
to the fact that James E'itz James
had crossed the track of the royster-
ing republican Rhoderick Dhu Com
gresham Gr;ggs took up his work
with an understanding and an aggres-
sion that could not be mistaken or un-
der-estimated. The republican com ;
mittee opposing him have found that
whichever way it turns Griggs has an
ticipated them. They find themselves
put everywhere on the defensive and
already they begin to feel the rocking
of the earth beneath their feet.

FRUIT SWINDLER IN TOLLS.
Pittsburg Broker Must Answer
Charges in Georgia.

Sheriff Passmore of Lowndes county,
SAYS dispatch from Valdosta, states
that he is on his way from Pittsburg,
Pa, with J. D. O'Brien, Jr., promi-
nent fruit broker of that city, charged
with committing misdemanOr in VAL
dosta on June 26. Probably a half
dozen other cases of the same sort will
Confront him upon his arrival.
The warrant against O'Brien was
sworn out on July %, and Sheriff Pass
more has made two trips to Pittsburg
after 1.-The prisoner. The first trip
found the broker in some of the far
western states. The sheriff then came
home and returned there by agree
ment with Plnkerton detectives. He
was accompanied by J. A. Dasher, Jr.,
who swore out the warrant.
The case against O'Brien is the trst
of Sthe kind known in this section,
and will be OF interest throughout the
fruit belt. He is accused of acting in
concert with IL. l.. Butler, his agent
on the road, to defraud fruit and vege-
table shippers. He defrauded Dasher
ont of ten cars of cantaloupes, and
other parties here out of several cars.
He worked the same game on parties
at Ouitman, Jacksonville and other
nIaces. His agent would give drafts
for the fruit or melons and these
drafts were invariably turned down.
