ENGINEERS HAVE
 RETURNED HOME
Committee From B. of l.. F. Ami- cably Adjusted Differences With Cotton Belt Officials at Re- cent St. Louis Con-
 ference.

Edgar H. McFadden of this city, W. B. Sharp of Commerce, Tex, M. M. Bartholomew of Tyler, Tex, and l.. H. Spollard, of Jonesboro, return ed to Pine Bluff today from St. Louis, where they spent several days in conference with the officials of the Cotton Belt railroad relative to certain rules. hours of work and rate of pay for engineers. The com mittee represented the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers at the con- ference.
 It was agreed by the engineers and officials that the present sched- ule be revised satisfactorily to both sides and revision of the rules was made. The engineers deny the report that was published few days ago that they made an effort to get control of the switch engines, but add that the fremen will re- main in charge of the switch en- zines as heretofore. This is perfect ly satisfactory to the engineers over the entire system, they declare
 The committee stated today that the engineers over the entire Cot ton Belt system would abide by the recent schedule of salaries adopted at the Chicago conference, which provides for ten-hour day for work train engineers and an in- crease of forty cents per hundred miles for freight runs and thirty ce9ts for passenger runs. There were no great differences between the Brotherhood of Locomotive En- gineers and the Cotton Belt officials at the recent St. Louis conference, they say Everything was amicably adjusted.

Walter COtter X Co.'s Daily Cotton
 Letter.

New York, March 5.-Liverpool did not respond to the strength at our close. yesterday, but supporting orders from this side stimulated prices. Our opening was lower, but the buying of brokers acting for the bull leader, strengthened prices somewhat. The light esti- mates for tomorrow helped the ad- vance. At this level, realizing was evident; in, fact, futures have had an advance of three-quarters of cent and some reaction is due. Pro- fit-taking, anyway, should bring about a lower range, temporarily, but we can see no reason to change our views that cotton is buy on all declines for some time to come.
 The spot situation abroad is very strong, and if kept up, will bring about higher prices in all markets.

NEW DEVICE SAVES
 MONEY ON COTTON
Government Experts Complete Ma. chine for Removing Fuzz From Seed, Which Will Allow
 Planting With Drill.

Washington, March 4.-One of the most important devices in the history of cotton culture practically has been perfected by experts of the Department of Agriculture.
 II is a machine for the removal of fnzz on cottonseed and for the separation of light from heavy seed. The process has been in the course oi development for about two years. and II is the opinion of cotton ex- perts of the department that it's uni yersal use would affect a saving of ton crop.
 As the crop of America amounts 10 about s750,00O,OOO a year, it easily can be realized that such a saving would be of vast importance. By the removal of the fuzz from the cotton seed the seed may be planted with an ordinary gravity drill By the ease with which the smooth seed can be manipulated it can be planted in hills without necessary waste. and the plants so located can be titled in two directions.
 The machine, it is stated, can be made at very small expense, and as the invention is in the hands of the government cotton planters who use it. will ot have to pay rolayties.
