STRIKE SUBJECT ACUTE.
Ciuic Federation Report Giues Ar-
guments of Both Sides.

The industrial department Of the National Civic
Federation reported yesterday to the Executive
Council at the Park -Avcaue Hotel on its considera-
ton of the strike question. The department or
ganized last year has held one meeting, at which
individual liberty was discussed. Among the sub
jects outlined for the coming year are: The Open
or the Closed Shop THE Injunction" THE Boy
colt" Hours Of Labor" THE Union label" Re
strctlon Of output" The Limitation Of Appren-

report says

ULTIMATUM BY MINERS.
Continued from first page.
day. this suggestion is looked on as significant
He says:

day this suggestion is looked on as significant.
He says:
The paper submitted by that committee to the
operators provides that eight hours shall con-
stitute a full days work for all persons covered
by this agreement.
It does not provide that the persons covered
by the agreement shall work eight hours day.
This obviously is because the employees now
average less than eight hours work day. This
fact was found by the strike commission. IL
said that for the contract miners, the hours
worked certainly do not exceed on the average
eight hours" and that for the remaining en-
pIoyes, taking the region as a whole, in the year
1901 the hours worked per annum averaged
1850 distributed through 25S days, so that the
average days work was I.6 hours. All classes
Of employees were thus found by the commission
not to average eight hours day; the facts are
the same at present
The general eight hour day, therefore, he
says, does not mean any diminution in the hours
Of labor, because they are already less than an
average Of eight a day. If the wages Of this
class Of employees, he says, should be fixed at
the present figures for eighth ours instead Of
nine hours the result would be, not to shorten
the hours Of labor. but to increase the wages
1875 per cent. He then says:
According to the official figures Of the Secre-
tary of Internal Affairs of Pennsylvania, the
average daily wages of the men afLected are
approximately $286 If the proposed increase
be applied to this daily rate, for each hour the
rate would be So cents instead of 32 cents, as at
present. The increase would thus be 4 cents an
hour and 50 cents a day, making 125 per cent.
The aggregate wages Of the employees affected
are not less than $50,000000 per annUm, and 12.5
per cent thereon would be $6,250 O00-the in
crease demanded under the form Of eight
hour day This alone would increase the cost of
production Of the domestic sizes about IS cents
a ton.
It was stated last evening on behalf of the
operators that Chairman Baer, of the anthra-
cite miners committee Of seven, had been COM
municated with over the long distance tele-
phone and denied the statement that President
Mitchell had asked for a truce Of sixty days.
Prominent coal merchants who We're seen said
that so far there had been no increase in the
price Of domestic anthracite. They agreed with
the statement published on Monday on behalf
Of the operators, however, that if the demands
of the miners were granted the burden Of any
increase in price Of coal would fall on the
domestic sizes.

wANTON DAMAGE TO MACHINERY.
Alleged Plot to Cause Loss of Life in Long
Island Stone Yard.

When the employees OF William McWhiTters
stone yard Mil street Long Island City, reported
for work yesterday morning, the engineer discov-
cred that the machinery had been tempered with.
The betting had been cut IN several places IN such
a way that It would not be discovered until the
machinery was started. Parts Of the engine had
been loosened and other damage done that would
have cost several lives had the plant been started
up. The police OF the Astoria precinct were sum
moned, but refused TO give out any Information
about the case.
1t was learned that an inspection Of the boiler
showed that it had been injured IN such a manner
that the usual pressure OF steam would have
caused II to explode and blow up the building IN
which it was located and where fully fifty men
were usually at work
The employees Of the yard believe that a plot had
been formed to the loss OF life for some
fancied wrong. There have not been any recent
labor troubles at the place.

Fish Cheap in Florida and Cuba.


Commissioner George W. Bowers, Of
the Bureau of Fisheries, returned yes
terday from Florida and Cuba, where
he went to study the culture Of sponges
and the marketing of fish in that CON-
munity.
II have always held" said Mr.. Bow
ers, that the old woman who raised
chickens and the Bureau Of Fisheries
were the greatest benefactors Of man.
kind. AS long as chickens and fish are
to be had all the beef trusts in the
world cannot run the meat market up
unreasonably. because the masses of
people will then eat chickens and fish,"
Mr.. Bowers stated that the fish mar
kets of Havana were a model Of efhc-
iency and thoroughness. This condition
is probably due to the large number
of Catholics, who are heavy consumers
of fish.
In Florida Mr.. Bowers found that
fish were generally eaten, and were re-
markaby cheap. The negro fishermen,
bringing in shad and other fish from
the st. John River and other streams,
where they are plentiful, sell them to
the dealers at three cents each, and the
consumers can procure fish weighing
from two to five pounds each. for a
nickel. This assures the poor people
an abundance Of cheap food.-Wasb.

NET Increase of acreage 1929,
which shows an increase of 2,16 per
cent over the acreage planted N
1865.
The foregoing will be verified or
corrected by the state presidents of
the Southern Cotton Association, who
will meet in Jackson, Miss, May 81,
for the purpose of compiling a gen
era! report from data secured from
their respective states.
Cotton field labor is very scarce,
especially in Alabama, Mississippi,
Louisiana and Arkansas, it being the
opinion of a majority Of our CORE.
spondents from these states that at
least 10 per cent of cotton now plant
ed must be abandoned on account OF
Scarcity Of hands necessary to cuiti-s
vate. Cotton field labor, especially
the negro, can be compared to balkys
horse, as they must be begged and
coaxcd continually. Large planters
would not be surprised If at any mo-
nent migration of every hand ON
their plantations would occur.
1.-THE very wet early spring caused
nearly all planting to be done on too
wet soil, making it impossible for the
cotton plants to thrive as they should.
Several frcsts between May and 10
in different portions Of the cotton belt
did an immense amount of damage,
causing much replanting to be done
and leaving very bad stands in many
localities where seed for replanting
could not be secured.

High Court Goes Against
Kansas Senator.
JAIL TERM AND A FINE
Also Deprived Of Right to Fiereafte:
Hold Office Under Government.
Must Resign Seat in the Ser
ate or Be Forced Out.

The supreme court of the United
States Monday rendered a decision in
the case Of United States Senator
Joseph r. Burton Of Kansas. The
decision was against Burton, aflrln-
ing the decision of the United States
circuit court for the eastern district
Of Missouri, BY which Burton was
sentenced t. SIX months imprisol-
nent in the Jail of Iron county, Mis-
souri,, required TO pay fine Of $500
and deprived of tie right to hereafter
hold Office under the government.
The opinion was by Justice Es.lan.
All OF the points made in Bur1on's
interest were oyerruled.
Senator Burton was prosecuted On
the charge of violating section 17s2
CT the revised statutes, which prohib-
its senators and representatives from
receiving compensation for services
rendered before any Of the govern
1.ent departments in any matter in
which the government may be inter
ested. He was specifically charged
with accepting fee Of $500 pes
month for five months from the Rialto
Grain and Securities company of st.
Louis fer services rendered that COM
pany in an effort to prevent the issu-
ance of an order by the postoflce de-
rartment prohibiting the use of tie
mails by the company.
Justices Brewer, White and Peck
ham united in dissenting opinion de-
iivered by Justice Brewer.
The court granted a motion to
give sixty days to Senator Burton n
which to prepare petition for re-
hearing. The action will have the
effect Of taking the case over until
the October term Of court.
That the senate will be compelled to
take cognizance Of the case is lndl-
Gated by the decision. Justice Har-
cover an election to the United States
senate as they do not hold their
places under the government of the
United States.
To the newspaper men who called
to see him, Senator Burton said:
81 shall adhere to my original pol
icy OF saying nothing until my case
is finally determined" He would not
say, in reply to question, that he
intended to take further legal steps,
but from the fact that he does not
regard his case as finally decided In
view Of the sixty days granted for
rehealing, it is inferred that he will
do so.
If Senator Burton does not resign
"at once" as a prominent senator
puts it, a resolution will be intro
duced to declare his seat vacant.

she did not come.

trying on tie hat herself in order to
show it off to its best advantage. For
