AMERICAN FEDERATION
MAY GO into POLITICS

Washington, March 26.-The exec
utive council Of the American FEEDER
alton of Labor has spent some time
discussing the replies of President
Roosevelt and Speaker Cannon to the
bill of grievances presented to them
and to President Pro Tenn Frye, Of the
senate, regarding legislation affecting
labor interests.
Mr.. Gompers said the concluding
paragraph in the memorial meant ex-
actly what it said. That is, il con-
gress fails to remedy the grievance,
the organization will appeal direct to
the pepole.
In other words, he said, the Fedora
ton of Labor will enter the field OF
politics and urge organized labor to
elect men of their own choosing and
thus have a personal voice in the gov
eminent. There will be further dis
cussions of the situation by the mem
bers of the council, upon whom the
remarks of the president and Mr.. Can
non have made deep impression.
Mr.. Gompers insists that the coun-
Gil is in the right regarding the state
ments set forth in the bill of griev-
ances; that it has absolute proof of
the representations made, and that the
condition of affairs Ill the labor world
everywhere is the best pgoof of ite
contentious.

Indianapolis, March 27.-The Unit
ed Mine Workers of America, through
John Mitchell, yesterday presented
the coal operators their ultimatum on
the dispute over the wage scale.
The demand Of the miners is for q
restoration of the wage scale of 1908,
which is an increase Of 5.55 per cent.
Upon the receipt of the ultimatum the
operators secured an adjournment of
the committee of the joint conference
for q day, when it is expected def
mite answer to the miners will be CIV

will be q refusal. The fight in that
case will be continued on the floor OF

president Of the Puget Sound Electric
Company, has announced that tns
road will be double tracked between
Seattle and Kent. This will involve

Cost of Feeding. /.

The Massachusetts experiment sta
ton kept track of the cost Of feed eat
en- by three farm horses for five years.
The feed consisted of hay, corn, oats
and other common feeding stuffs. The
cost of the ration averaged from 1871
to 24A cents per head daily. At the
Oklahoma station Kaffir corn was used
quite extensively. With Kafir corn
and ordinary corn at 20 cents bushel,
oats 25 cents, bran % cents per 100
pounds, the average cost of work
horses daily ration was II cents. II
all horse owners understood how good
oats are for horse feed there would
be better horses in the country. Corn
is almost unfit for the hard worked
horse. II you feed oats the horses may
not look quite SO fat, but they will be
in better condition. They will have
more life and feel more like working,
and it is settled fact that they will
do more work during the season by n
great deal, enough more that it will pay
well to feed on oats.-Farm Home.

CENSUS SUGGESTED.
Director North Thinks 1t Would be Good
Advertising for State.

Washington, March 26.-Senator
Piles recently wrote letter to the di-
rector of the census protesting against
his latest estimate of the population Of
Washington. The director gave the
population as $50, 900 in 1905, which
was an increase of only about so, 600
over the enumeration of 1900.
Mr., Piles declared that the city of
Seattle had increased in population
fully 80, 900 and that the rest of the
state had, Of course, grown enormous
ly, making total population of not
less than one million.
The senator has received a letter
from Director North in which the di-
rector does not insist too strongly on
the truth Of his estimate, but suggests
that the state take a census of its own.
He intimates that this would do a
great deal to advertise the state.
