The Italy, Texas, News. which is
edited by Thomas S. Hamilton, who
was reared at Shuqualak. Miss, says
in its last issue that 'great droyes Of
negro cotton piokers continue to come
in from thu south. The country is
overrun with negroes. On Saturdays
the streets remind us of the towns in
the black belt of Mississippi. Cotton
picking will soon be a thing of the
past and some Of them will leave, but
many will remain, as they are from
the boil weevil districts. and there is
nothing there to induce them to re-
main. It is principally the shiftless
element that will remain, and they
are linhle to have a hard time this
winter. Ellis county has never had
cause TO worry over the negro ques.
ton, but it looks now like we are
face TO face with the race problem. :"

Minnesota Gets Northern Securities
Company Into Court.

St Paul, June 5.-Arguments were be
gun today before United States Judge
Lochren In the case of the state of Min
nesota v The Northern Securities Com
pany and the roads whose control is
merged in the New Jersey corporation.
The arguments are based upon practically
the same testimony In most respects as
that In the case against the merger by
the federal government. The state S
case. however, is on entirely different
grounds The federal case alleged yio-
lation OF the Sherman antitrust law The
states case Is brought under a provision
OF the Minnesota constitution. which spe-
citically prohibits the connection of a
parallel aud competing lines OF rail-
way.
The case rests on statutes prohibiting
the connection in any manner Of com
peting and parallel lines of railroad, .
and also prohibiting the formation Of any
commission which IS in restraint OF trade
or commerce between this and any other
state In the opening by Attorney Gen
eral Douglass the action was described
a. a suitin equity to restrain the North
ern Securities Company from holding
stock in each of these roads.
The complaint charged that the state
owned 100000 acres Of land and various
institutions located on the right of way
OF two railways, and. therefore, the state
had a special interest IN preserving com
petition between the two carriers.

MITCHELL DENIES REPORT.
Recognition of Mine Workers Was
Not Asked For.

Indianapolis, Ind, June with regard
to the probability of a resumption OF the
strike in the anthracite region of Penn
sylvania President Mitchell. Of the United
Mine Workers, this morning was unNlN-
ing to make any statement.
Il do not wish to anticipate" he said.
Concerning the chief point to the contro-
yersy that now seems likely to provoke
renewal of hostihties, that Of whether
or not the men selected by the miners
organizations should be members of the
board of Cancellation authorized by the
board OF arbitration, he said:
THE statement that the question Of
recognizing the United Mine Workers was
never submitted to the strike commission
is entirely untrue. That was one of the
important awards in our favor, the word
ing OF it being that the miners organ :
zations' which, of course, is the United
Mine Workers, should have three repre-
sentatiVes on the board of Cancellation,
one for each district. Naturally | ap-
peared for the anthracite coal workers be-
fore the strike commission, but it was as
president Of the mine workers that |
WAS given the right to do so. The argu-
ment of District President Fahey, in
which he says that 1t would be as logical
for ls to demand that each stakeholder of
the coal companies be consulted with re-
gard to the selection of the operators.
members of the board of concilation as
that all the miners N the region vote on
the men to represent them, Is very sem
sjble. However, the award of the strike
commission specifically provides for that.
ut is true that conditions In the Wyo-
ming valley ars very bad. Our reports
are to the effect that the men are COM
PEELED to work on Sundays and that In few
particulars have the operators lived up
to the DECISIONS Of the strike commission.
No. / do not wish to anticipate the pos:
sibiIities of another strike"
