SALT AND SUGAR BAGS.
Mr.. Brown Learns Something About
Their Varied Hodsctold Uses.

From the New York Sun.
Say. mother said Letitia Brown, I'VE
won't have any more salt bags, will weg'
No more salt bags?'" said Mr.. Brown
to himself, having by chance overheard
Letitia's remark. 1t took but little ques-
tioning to bring out information on these
points, and incidentally there was ELECTED
other bag information, which, to Mr..
Brown, was even more interesting.
Salt bags. it seems, are, in many house
holds, when empty, washed out and used
as dish cloths. But the Brown family
has given up housekeeping and gone to
boarding; it retains It's apartment, Just
the same, but takes its meals in neigh
boring good boarding house. So, natural
ly, they wouldn't be buying any more
salt.
Then Mrs. Brown said that, anyhow.
they hadn't been using salt bags for some
time, because lately, while salt is still
put up in bags, they had been buying
salt put up in wooden or pasteboard
boxes. They'd been making their dish
cloths lately, she said, out of sugar bags.
Sugar it appears, once never so put up,
Is now quite commonly sold in bags.
Casually, Mrs. Brown mentioned anoth-
er use of salt bags that was new even to
Letitia, who knows something about salt
bags. Mrs. Brown said that once they
had servant who used to take the salt

.LABORERS ACTIVE
IN MILLING CAMP
Are Just Finding Out Their
Real Power
ARE IN CONSTANT DEMAND
Feverish Activity Is Noted in Railroad
Building in South Mississippi
to Get Rid of Fallen
Timber. -.
ARE IN CONSTANT DEMAND

Hattiesburg, Miss, November 10-(Spe-
cabin times past the great problem
with the lumber manufacturers of south
east Mississippi has been to secure Il
sufficiencY of labor at any price. The
problem has changed considerably in the
past few weeks, and the question now is
to keep what labor is at hand, and to
prevent the men from imposing upon the
employer conditions that VIII take away
entirely the profits Of the milling business.
Heretofore. the laborers have in meas
ure, understood that they were at the
mercy of the employers, to be taken on,
turned away, disciplined at win
But in some way the consciousness has
dawned upon the negro laborers that they
are masters of the situation. They are
now attempting to exercise their new
found mastery They have been making
demands upon the employer for shorter
hours and higher wages. From the small
or operatives they have been able to Sc
cure great many radical concessions. In
the little milling communities scattered
throughout this territory 1t is seldom
that an able-bodied laborer gets less than
s. per day, and at the same time his
hours of labor have been shortened from
eleven, as ii used to be. to ten, and
even TO nine in some instances. In the
larger mills the efforts of the laborers
have not been so successful in the mat
ter of gaining concessions.
At the j. j. Newman company's big
mills here deputation from the laborers
recently called upon the management and
called for a ten-hour working day. They
did not ask for increase of wages. for
already they We're being paid more than
common mill labor had ever before re-
ceived in this part of the country. The
management was not disposed to make
an issue with the men on this particular
time, when it is SO absolutely necessary
for the mills to keep going night and

them out and wash the marks out of
them, and then for economy's sake, hem
them, for handkerchefs for her little
brother.
And yet there remained the fact, mild
~ bewailed by Letitia, that there would
be no more salt bags for dish cloths.
Here Mr.. Brown wanted to say to Lefty:
well what of it? Not housekeeping
any more we shant have any dishes to
wash and we shan't want any dish cloths,
salt bag or sugar bag" But he didn't say
these things: for he didn't want to hurt
Letitias feelings by showing her how lit
tie she looked ahead, nor did he want to
make her feel worse by showing her how
much more logical his mind. He said
nothing, but just kept these things to
himself; but not without his usual modest
consciousness of superiority.

ten hours pay, the company at the same
time Offering to make certain arrange

system, would have offset the apparent
decrease
But the men would not listen TO any
terms. They claimed the ten-hour day,
and each proposition from the company
only appeared to inspire them with the
stronger belief that they had the COM
pany in a tight place. The management
came to the conclusion that 1t would be
idle to make concessions to men con-
trolled by such ideas, for one concession
would only lead to further demands. and
there would be no end to 1t but the bank
ruptcy of the company. Accordingly, the
company declared all negotiations off and

talk of trouble. though there is every
reason to believe that sooner or later
the difficulties will be resumed. over a
large portion of the timber area of the
south there have been symptoms of
trouble of this character for some time,
and the experience which the Newman
company has had at 'he outset Is regard
ed as quite fortunate. though, by no
means determinative. The smaller oper-
atives do not feel the pressure of the
labor troubles as keenlY as do the big
fellows, for they are in the business but
for a short time, to cut up certain
tract of timber. at the end of which
they care not for the labor market But
the big syndcntes have all the years of
the future TO look to, and they must
make their diSDOsitiOnS accordingly.

the tobacco crop, as much a.staple in
some sections of the South as cotton
is in others, and rice and sugar plant
ing have, Of course, engaged the atten-
ton Of many persons for years. New
tracts once devoted to cotton, or that
ordinarily might have been planted in
cotton, are being given over to a
greater amount Of cane, tobacco and
rice; While In tfiany localities more and
more attention is being given to
peaches,- cantaloupes, melons, toma-
toes; potatoes, peanuts, alfalfa, corn,
wheat, hay. grapes, oates, pears, ap-
pies and berries more eows chickens
and hogs are being raised, more mules
and horses and more live stock gener-
tlly for home use or for the market,
as Immigration is becoming more
needed 10 meet the demand for labor
and as larger and larger number OF
farmers are perforce driven to handle
crops that they may work themselves.
Everywhere there might be de-
sire to depart from the safe and sure
policy Of last year and to yield to the
temptation TO plant more cotton, un-
def the impression that a greater crop
would not affect the price, it faces the
possibility that the supply of labor
will be insufficient to make even crop
equal to that of last season.. From
every one Of the States comes COM
plants Of scarcity Of farm labor,
Oklahoma joining in the chorus. The
younger negroes especially are loath
to follow in the footsteps of their
parents, and are either rendering in
ferior service or are quitting the
farms entirely for idleness or disu-
ltory work in the towns and cities.
Lumber mills. the Naval store indus
try, mining, railroad building, dam
construction and building operations
generally offer higher wages than the
farms, and, in the case of whites, the
demands Of the cotton mills are hav-
ing somewhat similar crippling effect
upon farm operations, in spite Of the
inclination noted here and there for
operations under the spur of fair
prices for cotton TO attempt to make
little crop of their own. Indeed, such
is the activity in numbering that not
a few farmers, as is reported from
Louisiana, are following the field hand
to the lumber camp and are turning
out their own cotton ecreage for the
year.
"Another influence against extern
sive expansion in acreage is the back
