Operators Comforting
On Reply to Mitchell

NEW YORK, April THE repre-
sentatives of the anthracite coal roads
and Independent coal companies will
meet here in secret conference today TO
give final consideration TO John
Mitchell's proposition Of arbitration OF
the differences in the anthracite mining
Industry and 10 draft Al reply for pre-
sentation to the joint meeting of oper-
ators and miners on Monday.
While it is generally believed that the
operators Will refuse the proposal. there
Is ground for the statement that the
refusal 10 arbitrate will apply only 20
those questions that were raised before
the anthracite strike commission. The
operators. though, will concede a will
ingness to arbitrate any new questions
that may have arisen in the region since
the award was made and incapable OF
solution by the Cancellation board dur
ing its existence in the last three years.
The refusal TO arbitrate any OF the
old questions is a refusal To arbitrate
any OF the questions which John
Mitchell has presented at these confer
Cnces. FOR David Wilcox, president OF
the Delaware and Hudson Company. In
q public statement. has declared that
the miners have shown that there are
no new questions in the recent proposals
of Mitchell.
taking not TO offend public opinion i
the highest hope that there VIII be
solution Of this Industrial problem Tbs
operators have given out quiet hints o.
what may happen for the purpose Of
feeling the public temper only to deny
the statements later. Mitchell is play
ing a silent game OF politics. and in hi:
last move he has the advantage. since
the public and Wall Street believe the
best interest OF all may be conserved
by arbitration.
John Mitchelrs proposal for arbitra
ton is regarded in many ways as
backdown by the operators. who SAL
arbitration would kill Mitchells cher
ished dream for union recognition

Tea on the Down Grade.

Tea drinkers are finding scant en-.
couragement in report recently
made by a large tea exporting house

toners. Incidentally It indicates that
the United States is not alone in fac
ing increased cost of living. The re.
port says: owing to the rapidly in
creaslng cost OF living in Japan labor
costs more, and in consequence cul-
tivation OF the tea gardens is less
generous and extensive than formerly,
and less care and skill are expended
in picking and curing the leaf. Hence
the average quality Of the teas now
offered for sale is below that OF sea

same reasons we are not likely in the
future to see any reversion to the
excellence OF former years. New

. lLL.r.a UpIn- CANADIAN WEST.
The American Settler 10 Welcomed
to Canada.

A number OF the leading newspa.
pers on this side OF the line have been
noticing the growth OF the Canadian
West in recent years. and draw atten-
tion to the fact that there seems TO DO
no abatement Of the influx OF settlers
20 that great grain.growIng country.
The Buffalo Express thus refers to the
subject:
Canada West continues TO grow.
There were 4,11i homestcads entries
there in July Of this year. rs against
3571 in July, 1905. Canada plumes
herself over this fact, with becoming
pride. But what appears to make our
ncighbors happiest is the statement
that of these 4.17i homosteaders,
1,2l2 were from this side Of the line.
Little Is said about the ~ Canadians
who recrosscd the border to take up
homes In Canada West, or of the sos
from Great Britain, or Of the 1896
from nOn.Brltish countries. It APP
pears that the item in this July report
that makes Canada rejoice most is
this OF the 1912 American farmers
who decided to try their fortunes in
Canada West,
The compliment is deserved. Tho
I.9l2 were mostly from Dakota and
other farming states, and 70 into
Canada fitted better than any other
class Of immigrants for developing the
new country. They take capital with
them, too. say Canadian papers proud
ly. In every way they arc welcome
over there"
As the Express well says, the
American is welcomed to Canada, and
the reasons given are sufficient to In
vltc the welcome. The American
farmer knows thoroughly the farming
conditions that prevail in the Cana
dian prairie provinces. and Is aware
Of every phase OF agricultural devcl,
opment in recent years.
IN practical knowledge of what Is
wanted TO get the largest return for
labor and investment he is by long
odds superior to any European set.
tier. He knews what Is required 10
bring success, and he is able and will
Ing to do It, and his future causes no
apprehension to the successful Cana
dian farmer The agent OF the Cana
dian Government, whose address ap'
pears elsewhere, says that the differ
ence between the manners and Gus
toms OF the farmer from Dakota, Ore
gon or Minnesota and the farmer from
Manitoba Saskatchewan or Alberta
is not nearly so marked as that be
tween the farmer OF the Maritime
provinces and the Ontario tiller OF the
soil. Hence the welcome to the free
homesteads OF the Canadian West
and there are hundreds Of thousands
OF them left. that Is extended to the
settler from the Western States.
