FINES FOR MINERS.
Shut Down of Works in Some Gases
Eenalized


Des Moines, March 25.-(Special.)-
The joint scale committee convened at
2 o'clock Monday afternoon and the
entire afternoon session was devoted to
discussing and finally passing new
resolution in lieu of the one passed
Saturday and providing that if a mine
is shut down in violation of the agree
ment, by any local union, except for
cause under the state law, it's members
shall be assessed % cents each chose
who work at the mine shut DOWN and
such fines shall go to the district sec
retary-treasurer of the U. NJ. w of A.
If any officer or member of any com
m1tee, except when acting under in
structions of the local union, advise or
encourage any employee to refuse or
cease to work, when such employee has
right to work under this agreement
they may be discharged but if acting
for the local union then the assessment
as above provided may be made This
shall not apply to officers or commit
tee men who advise man to leave the
employ of the company.
1t was further agreed that if the
mine foreman or any other representa-
tive of the company persists in violat-
ing the agreementso or uses abusive Ian
suage to employees the local union shall
have the right to prefer charges
against such foremen, or representa-
tive of the company 10 the joint board
and if the charges are proved the op-
orator agrees TO remove such foremen
or representatives, or the joint board
may mete out such merited punish
ment as the exegency of the case may
demand.
Deficient Work Clause,
An addition was made to the resolu-
ton covering deficient work which was
as follows: In deficient work the I'M
ion shall continue at work pending an
investigation and whatever settlement
is made shall date from the time the
question of deficiency was raised, pro-
vided that if the company decides to
stop the place. no investigation shall
be made, but the miner shall be given
another place.
Time is getting short as April / is
but one week away. 1t is confidently
expected that an agreement will be
reached on both the questions, shot
tirers and the day wage scale, which
are yet unsettled, as there seems de-
| termination on both sides to meet the
isues fairly and as representative bust
ness men, dispose of them.

cultural Society. some ZUU Var1e-
ties are on exhibition from IS coun-
ties in more than 1000 plates. They
are beautifully installed by the Sec
rotary of the Department of Agri-
culture, T. x. Bruner. The judges
are the first experts in America,
Prof. Bailey, of Cornell University;
Chief P~omologist, Col. Bracket, of
the United States Department of
Agriculture, and Fred Taylor in
charge of horticulture at st. Louis
Worlds Fair.
The orchards of Moses H.
Cone, of Watauga County, in ex-
treme northwest of the State, carried
off first prizes for Northern Spy, Ben
Davis, Fallawater, Virginia Beauty,
ShockIey, Gloria Mundi, Mother, Bo-
mum, Royal Limbertwig, Jonathan,
Grimes Golden. The judges we're
surprised, and said that North Car
Dina had a great future before her
in this industry, especially as to ap-
pies.
While agricultural implements in
variety were shown, no machinery in
operation was to be obtained. Let it
be understood this is due to the re-
fusal of manufacturers North to ex-
hibit at fairs. It is a mistake, as ap-
piled to the South, because except
Baltimore, Atlanta and one or two
other points, such machinery cannot
be seen by those of our people who
r eager to purchase and introduce
it. But for this occasion it was sup
piled by the Agricultural and Me-
chanical College, adjoining the Fair,
which is thrown open for the week,
with all varieties in operation, sepa-
rators, huskers and shredders and the
like, ensilage preparation, dairying,
machine shops, dyeing and textile
work. This work is to be extended
to a summer school with 500 young
farmers enrolled for next summer
for six weeks, to come in for practi-
cal instruction.
It is not known throughout the
country that a State Fair by colored
farmers has been maintained here
for 18 years. The white citizens al
low them the use of these fair
grounds, and appropriate $500 an
nually in Legislature, for premiums
to most deserving exhibits. They
get up a very creditable fair, and it
will take place next week, imme-
diately following this.

A FEAST OF GOOD THINGS.

Prof. John Bach McMaster re-
Gently wrote to the editors of St.
Nicholas "Thank you very heartily
for the pleasure and profit St. Nicho-
las brings to my boys"
Boys-and girls-are very much
alike the world over. The delight
and help that St. Nicholas is giving
to Professor McMaster's boys, and
thousands of other girls and boys,
it holds for every girl and boy who
can understand English.
Since the first number of st. Mich
olas was published, nearly thirty
years ago, many weekly and monthly
publications for children have come
and gone, but St. Nicholas still holds
it's place, the unrivaIled "prince of
periodicals for young folks" It was
never more enjoyed by its readers
than now, for in addition to the
usual serial stories, short articles,
ETC., there is a department called
"The St. Nicholas League" in which
the children themselves have an OPP
portunity to take part. There are
said to be nearly fifty thousand chill
dren now belonging to the League,
and prizes are given out each month
for the best stories, poems, draw
ings and photographs sent in by the
young members. Any reader of st.
Nicholas may become a member.
St. Nicholas announces for 1908
"The Story of King Arthur" written
and illustrated by Howard Pyle, a
companion story to his famous "Rob-
in Hood" but which readers of the
manuscript think surpasses that in
the strength and interest of the mar
rative and beauty of the illustra-
tions. Two short stories by Miss
Alcott, written for her own little
nieces and never before published,
will soon appear in St. Nicholas,
with other stories and articles by
the author of "Mrs: Wigs of the
Cabbage Patch" by Ruth McEnery
Stuart, Frank R.. Stockton, Clara
Morris, and scores of other we'll
known writer's. St. Nicholas makes
a speciality of papers of informa-
ton, richly illustrated articles on
practical subjects, like the Navy
Yard, the Assay Office, etc.
The price Of St. Nicholas is three
dollars a year. The publishers an
nounce that new subscribers who be-
gin with January may receive the
November and December numbers
free, and SO begin the volume and
get the commencement of all the
serials. The publishers are The Cen
fury Company, Union Square, New
York.
