GREAT BRITAIN MINE
STRIKE Seems NEAR

London, Jan. ia special confer.
ence Of the Miners Federation of
Great Britain assembled today in
Birmingham to canvass the vote cast
by the membership last week on the
strike proposition. The outlook is
causing uneasiness in many quarters,
for the belief prevails that the count
will show an overwhelming majority
in favor OF the stoppage of work. The
leaders Of the miners organization
continue to voice their opposition, but
the rank and file of the membership
is believed to favor extreme measures
to enforce their demands and the or.
ganization itself will be obliged to
abide by the vote of the men.
A general strike of the coal miners
will mean the most serious Industrial
disturbance that the United Kingdom
has experienced since the dispute in
the engineering trades nearly a quar-
ter of century ago. The total number
of men employed in and about the coal
mines exceeds 100000. The total out.
put OF the mines amounts to about
725,OOO tons a day. 1t is calculated
that there is about three weeks sup
ply of coal in stock.
The miners are in a better condition
now to engage in a finish fight than
they ever were before. Their organi-
cation is one of the strongest labor
bodies in the country, both numerically
and financially. The reserve fund of
the federation at the present time is
believed to amount to s10,000,00O or
more What the miners are capable of
when they get their backs to the wall
was shown in 1893, when 100000 of
them laid down their picks and shov-
els and remained in idleness for seven
teen weeks rather than submit to
20 per cent reduction in their wages,
although they had nothing like the
accumulated funds they have now.
The demand of the men for a mini
mum wage is practically the sole point
at issue. Agreement on all other is
sues has been deemed possible from
the start, but agreement on the ques-
ton of a minimum wage, which has
now entirely displaced all other de-
mands, appears very improbable. The
mine owners are unit in their OPP
position to the establishment of a
minimum wage. They argue that it
would be manifestly unjust to ask an
employer to pay minimum wage to a
man irrespectively of his ability or
to perform a fair days
work.
The truth of the mine owners con-
tention in regard to the injustice of
the minimum wage is acknowledged
in a measure by the miners, and in
this is to be found the one ray of hope
that a general strike may be averted.
The miners have suggested the setting
up of a board or commission in each
district for dealing with exceptional
cases, such as those of men whose age
or infirmities disqualify them from
performing an average days labor and
who therefore might be employed at
wage below the established minimum.
The germ Of possible compromise
lies in this suggestion from the miners,
and when the Board of Trade steps in
as a mediator-for, judging from the
present outlook, it seems unlikely the
two sides will come together again of
their own accord-there will be at
least one definite suggestion from the

later the first car arrived. OF course
efforts were made to discredit the
value of the stock, but the consumers

to the present | have disposed Of

isfaction Of seeing prices reach point

cities whose duty 1t will be to see that

steady prices will prevail. AS yet we

THE growers In some states found
this out some time ago and have taken
protective measures as far as they can
by organizing associations, pooling
their crops and making the middlemen
pay them reasonable prices, il they
hope to continue in business as dis.
tributers. But the consumers are only
now organizing to look after their own
interests in the food supply question.
They have for years seen the distrib-
utive forces putting their selling
agents in the large cities to see that
the supplies of foodstuffs do not over
top the demand and thus lower prices.
1t is the business of these selling
agents to see that the fruits rot where
they grow rather than that they may
crowd the markets and threaten the
dethronement of high prices.
According to reports that have in
them the evidences of truth, If, for
example, the selling agent in Indianap-
oils for the orange crop sees, after
ordering shipments to that city, that
the demand has fallen off at the pre-
vaillng prices, leaving more stock on
hand than he had expected, he sees to
it that the cars on their way from
Florida or California to indianapolis
are not allowed to get there and glut
the market, but are switched off to
other markets where there is no dan
ger of them causing a reduction OF the
price.
1T is said that the grape, lemon,
strawberry, banana, pineapples, melon
and other fruits and vegetable crops,
anything in fact grown outside OF the
state in which one lives, is marketed
In this way by the various distribut-
ing agencies and add greatly to the
cost of living. We even have trouble
in getting the products OF our own
states at reasonable prices, because OF
the tribute first demanded of us con-
sumers by the middlemen.
"To my mind the greatest gift that
can come to the American people is
some permanent plan whereby the con-
sumner can be brought into closer
touch with the producer. When this is
done lower prices of food products will
prevail. In my own way am trying
to bring about this condition Of affairs.
| do not assert my plan is the best or
that 1t will be successful everywhere,
but one thing | do know and that Is
that lower prices now prevail in my
home town. | presume practically all
of you are familiar with my efforts in
indianapolis. In nut shell my plan
is to buy from the producer and sell
direct to the consumer.

RICE CROP OF TEXAS

Washington, Jan. 1S.-The supple
ment to the December Crop Reporter,
which has just been released for pub
location, contains encouraging news for
the Texas rice farmer.
The acreage sown in rice in Texas
in 1911 was 2SS,900, compared with
264,S in 1910, a decrease of 26,500
acres, or 10 per cent. Notwithstanding
this decrease, the total value, of the
crop of 1911 was $3.50, 900, compared
with $5,942,OOO in 1910, gain or $751;
900, or 10 per cent.
The production per acre in Texas
increased from 33 bushels in 1910 to
34.3 in 1911, a gain of 1.3 bushels, or
per cent.
The price paid for Texas rice in
1911 was 80 cents per bushel, COM
pared with 6S cents in 1910, gain of
II cents, or II per cent.
Only one state in the Union exceeds
Texas in rice production. This Is
Louisiana, which in 1911 produced H.
69S 900 bushels, compared with Texas
S,174,00O bushels. Louisiana's produc-
ton per acre, however, is considerably
less than that Of Texas, as the former
states yield was only S1.5 bushels as
against 34.3 bushels for Texas, an ex-
cess in favor of the latter of 2.S bush
els an acre, or 8 per cent. The Texas
farmer also received. one cent more
per bushel for his product in 1911 than
