FARMERS AND WORKERS BAND.
Federation and Union Join on In
dustria1 Lines Only.

The Farmers National and Cooper
ative Union has agreed to accept Sam
uel Gompers' plan of cooperation with
the American Federation of Labor
along industrial lines only. Represen-
tatives of the farmers union declare
the alliance has no particular tinge.
Organized labor and organized farmers
will work together hereafter in pre-
serving the rights and liberties of both
classes of workers" The utilization has
been a favorite project of Gompers and
the adoption of the resolution of coop
Grafton followed a four day conference
between Gompers and the farmers
committee The resolution says:
I'VE pledge ourselves to give prefer
ence to the products Of the industrial
workers who manifest their intelli-
gence to protect themselves by organ
ization and urge reciprocal purchase Of
products of union farmers.
Our legislative committees are
pledge to cooperate with the similar
officers and committees of organized
labor to secure such relief and reform,
atory legislation as may be necessary
to conserve the rights and freedom to
which the workers as men and citi-
zens are entitled under the constitution
of the United States"
The farmers union claims mem
bership of 100000.

Trade as a whole is still quiet pend
ing clearer views of the crop and price
outcome, but there is in evidence a
rather more cheerful feeling in agri
cultural sections, where injury from
the recent cold wave proves to have
been somewhat exaggerated and the
securities markets are also stronger
on the evidences of an charging de-
mand for American bonds abroad. The
best reports as to trade came from the
larger markets of the central West

WHITES AND NEGROES
BURIED IN COAL NINE
in Alabama Traps Under.
ground Workmen in Shaft
Near Birmingham.
IT rs BELIEVED ALL ARE DEAD
Flames Followed by Cave-In I'm
pede Rescue Work-Two
Bodies Taken Out.

Forty-f1ve white men and 140 ne
groes were entombed in No. coal
mine at Palos, Ala, as the result of
terrific explosion, and it is believed
all are dead. Palos is forty miles west
Of Birmingham and the mines are
owned by the Palos Coal and Coke
Company of that city. Two bodies
we're found
The flames resulting from the explo-
sion shot into the air from the mouth
Of the slope for distance of 200 feet
and the shock was felt for miles. Tim
oers from the slope were hurled sew
aral hundred feet from its mouth and
rocks from the roof of the slope caved
IN and made access to the mouth very
ilfhcult. The fan machinery was bad
~ damaged, but air was pumped into
The mine in hopes that some of the
men were still alive.
The first rescuers who went into the
mine after the explosion were over
come by fire damp and had to be car
rled out. ]. j. Rutledge, government
expert, in charge of the geological sta
ton in Knoxville, Tenn, was among
the first to enter, and after working
his way 1,400 feet down the slope
found the second right entry caved in.
The two bodies recovered were in the
main slope.
James Gousby, a mail carrier, was
killed thirty feet from the mouth of
the slope and his body was hurled thir-
ty feet into the Warrior River. He
was walking along the railroad track
and was directly in front of the slope
when the explosion occurred. 1t was
judged from this that the force of the
explosion was such that none of the
men in the interior could possibly be
alive
The Palos mines have been worked
for number of years and the entries
were extensive 1t is thought that the
explosion was caused by the accumu-
lation of gas in some of the abandon
ed entries.

the telegraph wires have been leveled
between San Jos and Carriage. The op-
orators at the latter place were killed.
1t is known that at least 500 persons
are dead and many hundreds injured.
Scores of buildings were thrown down,
among them the palace Of justice erect
ed by Andrew Carnegie. The wife and
children of DR.. Bocanegra, the Guate-

lean arbitration court, lost their lives.
Panic reigns as the earthquakes con-
tinue.
San Jose was shaken, some of the
buildings being damaged, but no
deaths are reported in that city. Many
persons were slightly injured. Earth
shocks also were felt at several points
in Nicaragua near the Costa Rican
frontier. There is much suffering and
restitution at Carriage, consequent up
on the disaster
Carriage, capital of Carriage province,
lies at the foot of Irazu volcano, about
fourteen miles from San Jose. 1t has

FARMERS HEAR TAFT
IN ST. LOUIS MEETING
President Arrives in City Early and
Is Met by Governor HadIey and
Secretary Wilson.
PREVIOUS DAY IN CINCINNATI
Statue of Theodore Thomas Is I'm
yelled in Hall During Great
Musical Festival.

President Taft arrived in ST. Louis
the other day and was met by the re-
ception committee of the Business
Mems League, Secretary Of Agriculture
James Wilson and Governor H. S.
Hadley. The presidential party was

er a drive through the business Sec
ton of the city the President was the

After the ball games President Taft

CHICAGO.

R. G. Dun & Co.'S weekly review of
Chicago trade says:
The current developments in the
course of trade exhibit further ;rregu-
larity and the progress made is slow
er than expected. The record of trad
ing defaults is seen to be comparative
ly low, but the volume of solvent pay
ments through the banks is only a
small percentage better than a year
ago.
Money is more costly for business
purposes and strike settlements are
not obtained promptly, although the
most serious danger to transportation
is averted by higher wage concessions.
Other difficulties which are hurtful
appear in coal mining and building
industries. Another handicap is the
delayed return of seasonable weather.
This adverse feature operates against
successful dealings in the leading re-
tail lines and outside construction.
THE distributive branches of gem
eral merchandise move unevenly.
Fashionable apparel is still in moder-
ate request and stocks of spring goods
are not reduced equal to expectations.
The advent of warmer weather will
bring about the desired improvement.
In wholesale branches the bookings
are fair for summer and fall lines of
dry goods, silks, footwear, millinery,
clothing and furniture.
Prank clea rings SoQS S32 S16 exceed
those of the corresponding week in
1909 by 0.9 per cent, and compare with
1888, 066,043 in 1908. Failures reported
in the Chicago district numbered Is,
as against % last week, 80 in 1900
and SO in 1908. Those with liabilities
over $4,000 numbered s, as against
last week, in 1909 and in 1908"

MONARCH IS PNEUMONIA VICTIM
British Sovereign Succumbs to Dis
ease After Illness of Less
than a Week.
FIRST GENTLEMAN OF EUROPE
Late Ruler Was Sincerely Loved for
Character of Democratic Sim
pIicity and KingIy Dignity.

King Edward VII of England died
from pneumonia at 11:45 Friday night
at Buckingham Palace, London, and at
the same moment the crown and scep-
ter of the empire of Great Britain
passed automatically to his son and
heir, Prince George of Wales, now
George V.
King Edward died almost before his
subjects had begun to realize that he
was seriously ILL., He was taken sick
week before. After three days seri-
Gus complications began to develop.
The fourth day his physicians issued
a bulletin that stirred the whole ma
the king was dead The shock to
Great Britain and to the world has
been tremendous, not in material
way, for the death of the king has
been discounted in the markets for
many years.
Nearly all the members of the kings
immediate family were at his bedside
end came the royal patient rallied and
spoke weakly to those about him.
81 know it is all over" he said,
"but 1 think I've done my duty
These were King Edwards last words,
the end coming peacefully few min
utes later.
