 Butte, Mont, Oct. 28.-The mediation committee plan to bring about the open- Ing of all mines and smelters inaugurated py Great Falls people, has resulted in an arrangement for a meeting between this committee and the heads of the copper corporations in Montana on Thursday af. ternoon or evening in Butte.
 The mediation committee goes with In. structions to consider any measures that may be deemed advisable to bring about satisfactory resumption of the Anal. gamted Company's plant and is espe- cially instructed to urge Governor TooIe to call an extraordinary session of the Legislature. which may result in the pas sage of law to improve the conditions arising from legal differences of the Amaigamted and Heinz people.

CONWAY TO REFEREES
TART ANSWER FROM E1GTH
 DISTRICT CHAIRMAN.
Asks What Scott, Thompson and Ala rich Did Not to Prsvens the Putting Up the Bars Against
 the Negroes.

I,ouSville. Oct. 2S-(Special. )-F. F. Con- way. chairman of the Republican Execu- tive Committee of the Eighth Congress sional District, has received letter from I q. Thompson Charles H. Scott ana W. F Aldrich. Republican referees in Ala hama. calling upon him to explain some of his recent statements. otherwise he will be listed as lily white" and opposed to the policy of the national administra- ton and platform. Mir. Conway Is charged with saving that no negro. although duly qualified under the Alabama constitution. should be permitted to take part m tne counsels of the party.
 In reply to this letter. MT. Conway has written the referees as follows: "I wish to say that am chairman of the Re- publican Executive Committee Of the Eighth Confessional District and as such onIv hold myself accountable to the Re- publicans of this district. As neither of you gentlemen is a resident of the Eighth District neither directly or remotely con- tributed to my election, 1t strikes me that 1t is rather presumptious on your part to question me as to my views and I there fore decline to answer promiscous ques- tioners. Permit me to call your attention to my record at the last Republican State convention and ask you the question What did you do. as members of that convention, to prevent the action of which you now so bitterly complain
 Mir. Conway stands close to Chairman Weliman of the State Republican Execu- tive Committee and his attitude in this matter is taken as an indication of the manner in which that committee will treat the Alabama referees.

The Farmer and the Trusts.

In these days of almost universal
combination of business interests we
note two lines yet left out in the cold
the farm and the church. Each Of
shese is jogging along at the same old
gait, going it alone in the old competi-
live way while meeting the power of
combined interests at every point. The
farmer today is rocked to sleep as a
baby in q cradle made by trust he
like enough is raised on bottle made
by a trust. he goes to work later on in
a trust-made wampus, overalls, shoes
and hat, he plows with trust pillow,
seeds his fields with trust seeder,
drags them with a trust drag, cult
Yates his corn with trust cultivator,
harvests his crop with trust harvest
er, thrashes it with trust thrasher,
hauls his crop to market on a trust
wagon, has his load weighed on trust
scales and sells to representative of
the grain dealers trust; he loads up in
town with a load of trust lumber or
coal, buys some trust sugar and beef
and tobacco and goes home to sleep in
trust bed. When he dies, he is buried
in trust coffin after being treated by
l trust doctor and laid out by trust
undertaken, but the only thing in his
whole career not controlled by a trust
being the funeral sermon by the de-
4ominational parson, who alone with

From Street to Farm.

A man who has been for twenty-five
years wholly engaged in the strenuous
life OF member of board of trade in
one OF our largest cities writes and
wants some suggestions and advice
along the line of quitting his board of
trade business and buying good small
farm and settling down as an up to
date progressive farmer He writes that
he is fast nearing the age when he will
be turned down and forced aside in IA
vOr of younger and more vigorous
man and would like to be somewhere
and be doing something where gray
hair would not bar him. He says that
he is well read on the technical and
scientific side of agriculture, but that
his actual experience is limited to gar
den and poultry work on small scale.
The particular thing he is anxious to
know is whether it is safe to make this
radical change Of employment in
financial way. Yes, if he will not carry
to the farm his board of trade style of
living and be content to begin in a very
moderate way, learning as he goes. We
see this difficulty-the excitement, high
pressure and intoxication, as it may be
termed, associated with a board of
trade life would make for him the
quiet, peaceful work of the farm seem
ineXpressibly dull and monotonous at
times, and it would be strange indeed
if he did not long for the fleshpots of
Egypt; but possibly the certainly i'm
proved health and appetite, the release
from the ever present nervous strain of
city life and the opportunity thus af-
forded to crafty his love of nature and
natural things would to large extent
compensate and tend to make him con-
tended. Something also depends upon
how his wife and family look on this
scheme, for man had better rush up
and down the city streets till he drops
dead than undertake to enjoy life in
the country with petulant, discon-
tented wife in a farm home. If it was
our case, we should let the women
folks settle this matter.

The above advertisement appeared
recently in newspaper. 1t is significant
in this particular: 1t shows that de-
mand is arising for men skilled is the
science of agriculture, the kind of men
who are now being turned out by our
agricultural colleges. More than ever
before are men of capital looking to the
farm scientifically conducted as safe
and very profitable investment for
their money. This fact should be Of
no more than ordinary interest to the
young men of the country who may be
debating what employment to select as
a life work. There is large excess Of
doctors, lawyers, teachers and all other
professional men being turned out of
our colleges each year, who find it
more and more difficult to secure salts
factory positions The educated farmer
has and always will have a large field
of opportunity opening for him and
will meet less competition than in any
other business in life. If you are study
ing what to do with that boy, perhaps
this article may give you hint.
