Wheat Acreage.

E. A. Burrage, secretary of the
Southern Minnesota and South Dakota
Grain Dealers association, has COM
piled an estimate of the wheat acreage
of the state for this year, as compared
with last year, based on reports from
members of the association. Reports
received from a major portion of the
territory covered by the association in
dictate a material falling off in the
acreage planted to wheat and an in
crease in the coarse grain acreage.
Of thirty-five counties in Minnesota
covered by the report, four-Fillmore,
Waseca, Olmstead and Swift-report
the same acreage planted to wheat as
last year, and but slight change in the
coarse grain acreage. Jackson and
Pipestone counties are estimated to
have about half the wheat acreage OF
last year. In no instance was there
an estimate of smaller coarse grain
acreage, while Big Stone county is es-
timated to have a corn acreage twice
as large as last year.
The average decrease in wheat acre
age of the thirty-fve counties report
ing is estimated at 1919 per cent, as
compared with last year, while the
acreage of oats is estimated to have

MINERS DECIDE TO STRIKE.
Convention at HazletOn Prepares for
a Long and Bitter Struggle-NO
Disturbances Reported.

Hazleton, Pa, May 16.-The anthra-
cite mine workers in convention late
| Thursday afternoon decided to con-
tinue the strike of the $4,000 men
against the mine owners and to fight
| it out to the bitter end. The vote to
continue the suspension was as fol-
lows: Total vote cast, S11; for strike,
| 461A; against strike, 3493; majority
for strike, lily. President Mitchell,
however, in compliance with the rules
| of the United Mine Workers, an
! nounced to the public that the ac-
ton of the convention was unani-
| nous.
| Hazleton, Pa, May 1.-THE anthra-
cite mine workers in convention Fri
day, in order to win their strike,
unanimously decided upon a plan
that if carried into successful oper-
alton, would practically tie up the
| industries of the country, paralyze
| business and inconvenience the peo-
| pie throughout the United States. 1t
! is their desire that special national
| convention of the United Mine Work
ers of America be called as soon as
practicable for the purpose of en-
| deayoring to have all the bituminous
mine workers, both organized and
! unorganized, involved in the anthra-
cite miners struggle. This an
nouncement was officially made at
noon Friday by President John
Mitchell in a statement giving the re-
suit of the deliberations of the dele
gates in convention.
If special national convention is
called and the miners succeed in their
object it would directly affect 449, 900
men, who are employed in and about
the coal mines of the country. Coal
would soon become scarce and this
would ultimately result in the ty-
ing up of railroads and all sorts of
industries that use large quantities
of the fuel. 1t is doubted by some
interested persons here who are
closely watching developments that
such stupendous movement could
| be brought about, for the reason
that the business interests of the
country would not stand idly by and
permit such a plan to be put into eff.
| feet.
Notwithstanding that $4,000 men
have been idle for the last five DAYS
no disturbances of any kind have
been reported here. The region is
extremely quiet. All the delegates
left for their homes Friday and Haz.
