ACTIVE WAR HAS BEEN COM
MENcED ON THE WINDOW
GLASS TRUST.
Important Results Expected From the
Meeting Today Of the Independent
Glass Manufacturers.

PITTSBURG, Pa, January 3.-The
federation of the Independent Window
Glass Manufacturers, organized to
make war upon the American Window
Glass company, which stands for the
glass trust, met here today and it is
expected that this meeting will bear
far-reaching and important results.
The American Window Glass COM
pany has recently made a big cut in
the prices Of window glass which was
felt severely by the independent man
ufacturers, who felt that they could
not compete with the trust without
sacrificing every bit of their profit
The trust is in a much better posi-
ton, because in the works
of the American Window Glass
company labor-saving machinery is
used, while the independent concerns
manufacture exclusively hand-blowr
glass, which requires great many
more skilled workmen.
, President A. L. Faulkner has sought
to interest the Amalgamated Window
Glass Workers Of America in a move
ment to compel the glass trust either
to give up the machines, or raise the
prices of glass to an amount which
would enable all manufacturers to
make glass at profit to themselves
and at the same time pay their work
men adequate wages. 1t is expected
that the meeting Of the independent
manufacturers called for today, will
bring the matter to point. 1t is be-
lieved that the Amalgamated Window
Glass Workers of America will have
representative at the meeting and
that the situation will be carefully dis
cussed with view Of reaching some
definite decision. 1t is stated that the
Independent manufacturers will be
compelled to make straight reduc-
ton in the wage scale, unless some

LARGEST AND MOST IMPORTANT
MEETING EVER HELD IN THE
SOUTHERN STATES.
Believed Association Will Tie up All
Cotton Now on Hand-Want Bet
ter Prices.

ATLANTA, Ga, Jan. 3.-The state
convention of the delegates elected by
the cotton planters of this state for the
purpose of selecting members of the
executive committee, which is the
governing body of the Southern Cotton
Growers association meets here to-
day. The meeting will be held at the
state capitol. On January 10, the
members of the executive committee
who are elected by the state conven-
tions mere and in other southern states
will meet at Hot Springs, Ark, for the
purpose Of deciding upon the plan of
campaign for the coming season. 1t
is announced as practically certain
that the present president and secre-
tary will be reelected. In regard to
the policy to be pursued by the asso-
citation next season, President Harvie
Jordan has stated that he did not think
that any further reduction would be
advised In mis- opinion the acreage
should be about the same as during
last year.
On the same day on which the
executive committee will meet in Hot
Springs, there will be a mass meeting
of persons in the south interested in
cotton, in New Orleans. the cOnven-
ton will be one of the largest and most
important meetings ever held in the
south and will undoubtedly attract
wide interest. In large measure it
will be a love feast, celebrating the
success of the movement for higher
prices, which was started in New Or
leans, in January of last year, when
the Southern Cotton association was
formed. The convention will not be
a meeting of the association proper,
but will be open to all who are in some
way interested in the growing or the
marketing of cotton.
In some quarters it is believed that
the Southern Cotton association will
decide to tie up what cotton there is

SANTA FE IMPROVEMENTS.
Many Important Ones Are Planned for
Arkansas City.

Arkansas City Kan, April 26.=Be-
fore the end of the present summer
the Atchison, Topeka & Santa F'e Will
complete many new improvements in
Arkansas City, which will improve
greatly fits property here and add to
its value Some of the Improvements
are now under way. The electric light
plant will be ready for use in few
weeks, providing there Is no de-
lay to the material already ordered.
The lfnemen are now setting the poles
and preparing to string the wires
throughout the company's property.
When the plant is in operation the de-
pot. shops, round house, offices and
right of way from the city to the south
yards will all be lighted by electricity
Work is progressing in nice shape and
this is going to be one of the most inn
portant moveme nts-
The plans for the new freight depot
are now in the office of the architect
and engineering department and are
expected to be in shape for the work
in short time.
Five long tracks are to be built in
the south yards at once. The material
for this improvement is now arriving
and work will begin in a short time.
The tracks will give the yards some
needed room. Under the present con-
ditions the yards are crowded and
there is scant room in which to do the
tremendous amount of work which
tracks. the yards will be much better
equipped for the speedy handling of
trains
Another improvement which is one
of the most important, is an addition
of ten stalls to the round house. Su-
perintendent H. A. Tice said that this
will be made this summer and in addi-
ton the company viii install a new
seventy-five foot turntable Of the latest
pattern. The present round house is

is how the work is handled at present

to keep up with this growth in the
matter of providing means of taking

Of freight are receiving the attention of

thing possible is being done to right
these conditions.
One of the most fragrant violations
came to light recently when the month
~ report of freight forwarded by an
eastern line was checked up with the
monthly repoTe of freight received from
this line by it's western connection. The
discrepancy between these two reports
showed that the eastern line had been
cheated out of more than 81, 900 Ey I'M

In this particular instance the eastern
line had accepted the freight from
shippers and connections in the New
England states, and without any fur

point where it was turned over to the

While there are undoubtedly many
cases of underbilling of freight, the rail-
roads are doing all in their power to

prominent offici;-- in discussing the
question. I'VE have done and are doing
all we can to compel shippers to correct
ly list and weigh their shipments SO
that the railroad will get its full reve-
nue. for the business.
Shippers have always been ready to
take every possible advantage of the
railroads. When we fix a stated weight
for certain kids of shipments they in
variab1y enlarge the size of the pack

great deal of trouble and much delay
which could be done away with if ship

DIMES OUT OF PENNIES.
Evil That Came of a Fakir Selling
Plating for Metals.

Independence, Kan. April 26.-The
evil effects Of the street fakir business
has had another exemplifcation in the
city the past twenty-four hours. On
Monday a stranger was on the streets
selling a cheap plating for metals. AS
usual quite number of people pur-
chased and the American boy at once
proceeded to IKE full use of the stuff.
Some pennies were secured and after
plating them with the stuff proceeded
to pass them as dimes and in several
cases were successful. The Eagle drug
store found three of the plated pennies
in the money drawer this morning and
others are in a similar plight.
The plating used makes the pennies
the same color as a dime and unless
care is exercised can readily be mistaken
for the silver Mr. Brown says he does
not care for TIE loss of the money, but
he does not like to be imposed upon in
that manner.
