cause strike to be called.
Heretofore the operators have al
ways made concessions which hay,
placated the men. But at the last meet
ing there was no bending. Every issue
which We presented was rejected by
the operators. These issues have been
long considered by the miners and they
know their demands are not unreaSOn-

to which they are rightfully entitled.
'The rejection of these demands will

Then. unless these demands are grant

SOUTHERN COTTON MEN.
Representatives Of Textile Associations
Will Meet Tomorrow at Atlanta.

Atlanta, March IA meeting of far
reaching importance to the cotton mill
industry of the South is that of the rep
resentatives of the various textile asso-
Citations of Georgia South Carolina.
North Carolina. Alabama, mississippi
and Louisiana, to be held in Atlanta on
Tuesday of this week, at which tariff
revision with reference to it's effect upon
cotton manufacturers is to be considered.
Local cotton factors announce that while
they had no definite information as to
any changes proposed in the tariff affect
ing this industry, it was considered ad-
visable to call q meeting of the southern
interests with a view of considering pos
sible changes and to appoint committee
TO appear before the ways and means
committee of the House if 1T should be
found expeHient after full discussion
of the matter.
IF is said that New England mills,
which manufacture the finer fabrics are
seeking to have the tariff on this grade OF
goods increased and that at the same
time, they favor reduction OF coarser
cotton goods. which are manufactures
principally by Southern mills. This was
given today by prominent mill man as
one of the reasons for the meeting. lie
said that a higher tariff on the inner cot
ton goods would give to the New England
mills a monopoly, whereas reduction IN
the present tariff on cotton goods OF
coarse fabric would force the Southern
mills to compete with foreign countries
which have the advantage of cheaper ma
chinery and cheaper labor.
A reduction in the output of the South
arn warn mills may be proposed. They
| will discuss the ACCESSIBILITY of asking
the American Textile Association and
the National Manufacturers Association
| TO adopt uniform sales contract. Plans
| also will be discussed whereby the South
ern product may be sold direct TO 'fie
nurchaser. eliminating the broker.
