Meeting of Manufacturers.

NEW ORLEANS, March 1.-THE Nation
al Association of Manufacturers will hold
its annual convention in this city April IA
16. The city will try to make the conven-
ton one of the greatest and most delight
full that has ever been known in business

n. A Gladding manager for E c. At
kins &c Co., Indianapolis. has written a
letter to Thomas Richardson, manager of
the New Orleans Progressive Union, In
which he speaks we'll of the industries of
this State and the South in general. He
says in part:
ITO one who has been a constant visitor
TO your State for the past seventeen years,
as / have been, it is most interesting to
note the great developments that have al
ready taken place and which are but in
their infancy. In the lumber industry alone
there has been wonderful strides from the
small, primitive sawmil to the largest
lumber and woodworking plants in the
world, saving up your magnificent pines
and cypress, oak, cotton-woods and other
timber into merchantable lumber for ship
ment to all parts of the globe. Then there
are the furniture and sash and door fac
tories, the mills making slaves for oil bar
rels as well as pipe slaves for the European
trade, and many other factories utilizing
these woods for various purposes. In ad-
dition to the KINDS of timber already men,
toned. you have red and Tupelo gum, ce-
dar, ash, elm, box elder. sycamore, mulber-
ry, magnolia. maple and other varieties all
accessible and opening up unlimited oppor-
tunities to the manufacturer of articles
made from such materials Only the other
day / was reading a daily newspa per
printed on paper made from the pulp of
yellow pine shavings which is of interest
the fact that there are unknown possibili-
ties awaiting those who will investigate the
resources of your State.
II should not omit refer to your sugar
refineries, rice mills, distilleries and cotton
mills, clay furnaces. broom factories, rope
mills, cotton gin factories foundries and
machine shops. many of which are located
in and about New Orleans, and are only a
few of the great variety of industries al
ready with you. L understand the two cot
ton mills in your city have doubled their
capacity in the past few years and are now
a success In every way, showing that the
cotton cloth can be manufactured right
there at home, as we'll as in Georgia North
Carolina New England. 1 have also beer
impressed with the vast variety of the in
dustry of truck farming. especially In the
immediate neighborhood of your city whose
products not only for home consump-
ton, but are taken in trainloads to the
leading markets of the country"

block coal miners and operators. the miners
decided to accept the scale offered by the
operators Thursday. and the yearly agree

concessions. The joint conference commit
