posed for Striking Miners III
They Need Assistance.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, July s.-A nation
al defense fund, to which all organ
lied labor and the public in general
will be asked to contribute, is the
latest proposition placed on foot to
help the striking anthracite coal MI
ners if they need assistance in their
struggle for higher wages and
shorter work day. Harry White, of
New York, secretary of the National
Garment Workers, and member of the
Cancellation committee of the Nation
al Civic Federation, had long con-
ference with President Mitchell to-
day, during which the plan was ap-
proved by the miners chief, and Mr..
White will at once begin preparations
to carry out the plan. President
Mitchell wants it understood, how
ever, that the miners union will ac-
cept no aid until their own resources
are exhausted. Mr. White came here
authorized by several labor organiza-
tions to place the proposition before
President Mitchell. After the con-
ference President Mitchell had moth
ing to say about the matter beyond
the brief statement that he approved
the plans.

New York, July 9.-The process or

ness goes on without interruption

spondent. The duke of Marlborough
presided at one colonial banquet at
the Constitutional club, and the I'M
perial chapter of the Primrose
League entertained another group OF
premiers and ministers. Mrs. Leo
pold De Rothschild gave large gar

park. Sir Edmund Barton had an
engagement for a speech at the meet
ing at the Mansion House, and Sir
Gordon Sprigg, and Premier Ross
made addresses at the meeting OF the
British Empire league, over which the
duke of Deyonshire presided, While
there is an abundance of oratory over
the sentimental aspects of imperial
ism, there is a lack of authoritative
information respecting the business
of the conference. Nobody has un-
taken to explain Colonial Secretary
Chamberlain's views on steamship
subsidies and preferential trade, yet
the colonials do not doubt that he
holds strong opinions on both sub
iects. He is credited with a willing
ness to meet the colonies, not per
haps half way, but more generously
than his colleagues, in defending Brit
ish shipping interests. For preferen-
tial trade he is a strong advocate,
but he chooses phrases cautiously lie

grain and wine duties in favor Of the
colonies, if they, in turn, will lower
their tariffs against England. The
results of mutual preference he will
be likely to explain as gains for free
trade. There are optimists among
the visiting statesmen who assert
that Sir Michael Hicks-Beachs oppo-
sition may be overcome if the line Of
least resistance be attacked, and the
duties actually in force are removed
on both sides in the interest Of less
restricted commerce. Preferential
trade will in this way become freer

For the week ending July 7 Sec
4ion Director f. b. Richards, of the
Little Rock weather bureau, furnishes
the following summary of crop con-
ditions in Arkansas:
Fair weather generally prevailed dur
Sng the week; light showers fell in iso-
lated localities. Corn has felt the ef'
tects of the recent heavy rains, caus-
ing it to make very rapid growth
and in many instances too much weed.
In sections where heavy and contin-
uous rains occurred the crop is becom-
ing grassy from lack Of cultivation, as
the ground has been too wet to work,
but, on the whole, the crop is in good
condition, and is doing well. No
damage by insects has been reported.
Corn has improved during the week,
and a full crop is apparently assured.
In those localities where considerable
lodging had been caused by the heavy
rains and high winds Of the preceding
week. II has Strengthened up very
much, and the damage Is not as great
ss estimated Wheat thrashing con
tinues; the yield is. as a rule, below
expectations, although in some local
titles an average crop of good quality
Is harvested. Dat harvesting is about
completed, but thrashing has not yet
begun. There has been no improve
ment in the indicated yield. Fruit
conditions are practically unchanged
Apples continue to fall, but peaches
present fair prospects.
