Mitchell Disappointed by
 Baer's Letter.
sUB- COMMITTEE TO MEET
Then There Will Be Convention of
 Anthracite Miners.
Leader of the Men Declares That Every Ccncession Made By the Operators Has Been wrung From Them
 By Force.

Wilkesbarre. Pa. April 2s.-President Mitchell gave out the following state ment today:
 q have received. read and formally acknowledged President Baer's answer to the last demands made upon the operators by the miners. It appears perfectly evident that the operators have not changed their attitude in any particular during the past six years and that the strikes of 1900 and 1902 were no lessons to them. There Is no instance on record during the quar- ter of a century which the railroads have dominated the anthracite indus try. that an advance In wages mas been granted to their employees. Every concession has been wrung from them by strikes and the pressure of public sentiment.
 The railroad coal combination not only fixes arbitrarily the price at which coal Is sold to consumers. but seeks to fix arbitrarily the price at which labor shall be bought. It. seems that every conciliatory overture we have maoc for a peaceful settlement has been inc terpreted by the operators as q sign or weakness and our conservatism an evt- dence of cowardice. The question ts asked by the operators where IS the advance to come from if 1t is not charg-
 
 coal. It occurred to me that the snaN advance proposed by the miners might have been taken off the exorbitant freight rates charged by them. What the outcome will be canot be predicted until the convention is held
 "Personally I am much .dtsappointed and am sure all mine employers ex- pected more consideration than they have received"
 President Mitchell said he had called a meeting of the miners sub scale conn mittee to meet, here or at Scrantoh Monday, and the latest reply of the .op- orators VIII be submitted to the. com mittee. President Mitchell would not say whether all the correspondence with the operators was at an end, He will remain here until Tuesday. when he will go to Scranton to be In resdf- ness. for the convention of miners whie meets there Tuesday next.

TO FIX DAY FOR VOTE.
Rel,eved That the Senate will Reach
 Agreement This Week.


 Washington. April 2s.-The generally expressed opinion about the Senate to- day was that an agreement to vote on the railroad rate bill will be secured early next week and by common con sent the vote Is fixed for some time during the week beginning May '.
 The request for the naming of day will be repeated early next week ana it was said that those who had been opposine a vote would no longer de- lsy The final vote on the bill itself will be preceded by debate of several days duration on the amendment to the bill
 The reasons given for predicting an early vote are that the debate If prac- tically exhausted and that there Is strong pressure from the House Not Representatives, whose members are anxious to bring the session to an end in order that they may have oppor- tunity to give attention to their cam paigns for reelection.

on Louisiana East s West

During the past week large forces
of men and teams have come into
Bunkies and have gone out to work on
the Louisiana East & West, says the
Bunkie Review. Something like 300
men compose the three outfits that
have arrived and departed. They
are all ii the employ Of the firm that
is under contract to complete all
grinding to Vile Platte by Oct. 1st.
President Haas, speaking Of the grad
ing few days ago, said he did not
think the grade could be completed
by that time but that he did expect
it to be done by Oct. 18th. DR.. Haas
said that the tracklaying had pro-
gressed nearly to Bayou Cocodrie and
that by the time Cocodrie could be
bridged the tracklaying could be con-
tinued on into Vile Platte. As soon
as the track is laid and surfaced up
train service will be inaugurated.

"PLANTER' PRAISES MIR. CHAR
LEVILLE'S COTTON LETTERS.

Editor Clarion. 1t is with deep in
terest that | read, through you
colums, the Cotton Letters Of you
contributor, Mr.. F. Charleville. It il
gratifying indeed, the valuable infor.
nation which he imparts; particularly
emanating from one who, though
interested in his ayocation, yet is nj
mercenary. His views on the cottor
question, with the records which he
gives, goes to show that he is vel
posted on the subject, and his advice
| is timely and credit is due him. It
has been long-felt want to be con-
versant with the cotton market-not
through the interested cotton letters,
as experience has taught US they are
not reliable-through a source upon
which we could rely.
Unfortunately our people in these
parts are unable to cope with what
might be different. The divepssiiffyipg
the crops and reducing tie COTTON
acreage looks well on papef, bufit is
not practicable. The laad owns sphim-
self, in most instances isa1hble to
advance his tenants, while fhe mer-
chant will not advance unless cotton
is planted hence the predfcament.
It is to be hoped that Mr.. Charlie
vile will continue in his efforts to
bring about the good results thaS he
has undertaken, and which VIII, soon
or late, in my opinion, bear fruit.
But, Mr.. Editor, | have an idea
which has laid dormant for quite
while, and that is about cotton seed.
From one years experience your sub
scribed has been taught that his cot-l
ton seed is worth to him $12 per ton
as fertilizer and, as far as he is
concerned, it will continue going in
the ground before it goes to the oil
mill at the prices they are paying for
it. There is no land owner, when he
realizes this fact. that can not retain
the seed from his tenants, and amelio-
rate his land, and profit thereby, 1t
is feasible for the land owners to
come together and set their price on
cotton seed, and demand its worth,
and not be left at the mercy of a
packed combination. It is a surprise
until now that they have not inau-
gurated sampling cotton seed by
samples. PLANTER.

A. E. Miller has resigned as Super.

parish. His resignation is the last
resignation of the long list of those
parish superintendents who were not
considered to be qualified for the
position, as the qualifications are in
terpreted by the State Board of Pub
lie Education. The local board of
East Feliciana parish resisted the in
reference of the State Board, and
passed resolutions declaring that Mr..
Miller would be continued in Office.
But it evidently saw new light later

the cause, and was attacked.
The culprit has not been apprehended.
Mrs. Howell is a widow, keeping a

esteemed lady. In the scuhie the

was subsequently found in the bath
