TO enable them to pay the excessive
prices now being charged for fuel, and
IL Is subjecting the general public to
great Inconvenience.
To relieve the situation and allie
vfate, as far as possible, the suffering
now being endured, is the duty OF
everyone connected with the produc-
ton OF coal. With this end in view,
we are prompted to address this COM
munication to all members of our
union and request they cooperate with
the management of the mines In an
effort to increase the production of
coal: The gravity of the situation Is
such as to require that every mine
worker shall exert himself and use
every means at his command to this
end.
Upon reading this communication
in the columnsr<o of the daily papers.
local unions should hold meetings and
devise means whereby the daily out
put of the mines may be increased
These efforts should be continued until
the weather moderates and the great
necessity for fuel shall have passed"

Fight Document as Drawn Agreed
on After Three Days Conference
Washington, Jan: 12.-For three
days representatives Of the beet sugar
Industry of Michigan have been in con
ference in this city. not only among
themselves and other beet sugar pro
ducers from other states, but also
with the Michigan delegation in con.
gress. Senator Burrows, who last
spring opposed the Cuban legislation
then pending. has been prominent in
the conferences.
During the day Senator Burrows had
a long interview with President Roose-
welt, during which, it is understood, he
indicated to him that the Cuban re-
ciprocity treaty now pending in the
senate was not satisfactory to the beet
sugar interests of his state and that
1t was likely to encounter serious op-
position unless it could be so amended
as to provide that the concessions
made to- Cuba as to tariff rates should
remain in force for five years. After
mature consideration of the treaty the
Michigan sugar producers had conclud-
ed that the treaty was open to objec-
ton in that it did not insure stability
of tariff rates for any clearly speci-
fed period. What the producers chief
~ desire is stability of rates which
would enable them to put additional
capital in their industry and develop
it further with some assurance of sue
cess.
The strong intimation is that unless
an amendment can be made to the
pending treaty fixing the rates between
this country and Cuba for five years
the Michigan congressional delegation
will feel constrained to oppose ratifi-
cation OF the treaty. In this 0pposi-
ton, it is said, the Michigan congress-
men will be joined by others represent
ing sugar producing states.
So far as is known the president has
not indicated what his attitude might
be in regard to the proposition to
amend the pending treaty.

The citizens of our town, as we'll as
those of the surrounding community,
celebrated the glorious Fourth with
great pomp and glory-barbecues,
ice cream parties, dancing, baseball,
military bazaars concluded by grand
and beautiful display of fire works
were the principal features of the
day. The scene of greatest interest
was the barbecue given by Corley &
Carter, at the old "Nellie Springs"
Early in the morning crowds after
crowds wended their way slowly to
this place of interest, and when din
ner was announced it was with much
difficulty that the throng Of people
were fed, Notwithstanding the fact
that twenty-nine carcasses of the
finest and most palatable kind were
in readiness TO alleviate the Unsuitable
hunger of the weary who had plod-
ded their way through the scorehing
MONDAY sun to enjoy this festive &C.
casion. The day was delightfully."-
spent by all, the chief amusements
being dancing and hot game of
baseball between two rival teams
here, Brooklsnd and Maybe boys.
Although the day was extremely
warm, the game was witnessed by q
large crowd and was very exciting
from beginning to end, the scors,
however, being 8 to 3 in favor of
Brookland.
Messrs. Corley B. Garter, are too
wide awake to do anything by halves
or leave anything undone; they are
to be congratulated upon the success
of so large an undertaking, and for
the skilled manner in which this
body of people were handled (esti-
mated at 1000. The day being
typical and ideal Fourth of July, the
crowd was naturally jolly, hungry
and thirsty, but the platform, dinner
and lemonade and ice cream booths
were in evidence and were literally
