Officials in Cleveland Ready to Draw Up RecOmmenda-
 tiOns for Referendum
WAIT ON OPERATORS
 BEFORE ACTION TAKEN
White Considers Proposal That Miners Drop All Demands Except for In- crease in Pay; Asking Per
 Cent Instead of. 10

. eveland. O.. March 24A.A crisis in the " l situation, determining whether more . an 45o,oo0 miners in the bituminous and Anthracite fields shall strike on April 1 s)r suspend until new wage agreements can be effected. Is expected this week.
 Members of the executive board and policy committee of the United Mine Workers of America began to arrive here today to prepare to draw ID recommenda- tions for a referendum vote by the union. They will not act. however. until after the operators and miners of the bitumi- nous fields of Western Pennsylvania. Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, at their session here Tuesday, have decided whether they can agree on a two year wage scale. The union officials action on the inability of the anthracite operators and miners to agree will be delayed until the outcome of the bituminous conference is known.
 White Considers Proposal
 John P. White. president of the union, and the district presidents today con- sidered a proposal that the bituminous miners drop all their demands except that for an increase in pay and that they ask for per cent instead of To- The compromise was not definitely agreed upoh but 1t was considered as a possibility in view of the emphatic stand taken by the operators that they were not inclined to yield. It was proposed that the single suggestions for a 5 per cent increase be considered by both sides before 1t was taken into conference. Even if this plan was agreed upon, 1t was declared, it stih would have to be adopted by the policy committee and then supported by a referendum vote.
 The union officials are in doubt whether such compromise would be approved at the referendum vote since the full convention at Indianapolis several months ago expressly stood. not only for 10 per cent increase, but for many changes in condition, such as a reduction of eight hours week in the working time. A . per cent increase, they say. would give them less than one-fourth of what they asked for

 The anthracite situation now stands, members of the policy committee assert, they have only one thing to report to the union-that the operators and miners have failed to agree and there is no scale upon which operations may be continued after the end of the month

 Commissioner McChord dissents radical ly from the majority. maintaining di- rectly that, in view of the approaching determination of the Minnesota. Kentucky and other state rate cases by the United States supreme court. the commission ought not to assert such principles as are embodied in the present case. He declares that the conclusions reached are both erroneous and unnecessary" He con- cludes, after an elaborate discussion of the case:
 My position is that this commission ihould coDfine itself within the four cor ners of the law of its creation. usurping neither the legislative function of the Congress nor the judicial power of the courts"

New Bedford Now Displaces Lawrence as Center of
 Textile Situation
OPERATIVES INSIST ON
 10 PER CENT INCREASE
Believed Increase and Shorter Hours Received By Operatives in Other Industries Traceable to Move
 ment in Lawrence

Boston, March 24-The great Lawrence strike, which brought in it's train in creased wages for 275.Ooo textile workers in New England. was officially declared off at all the mills in Lawrence today, hay ing accomplished it's purpose in the opin- lon of the leaders.
 IH this connection it is generally be- lieved too. that advances In wages or reduction in hours to paper mill employees, baggins and burlap workers, machlnists and operatives in other industries are all traceable directly or indirectly to the movement which had it's origin in Law renee. The total number of persons thus to benefit is considerably upward of 800, GOO.
 Advances in the price of woolen and cotton goods which have been made or which are in prospect, will probably place upon the ultimate consumer much of the burden Of the additional cost to the tex tile manufacturers This will aggregate between $1o0Oo,oOo and $l2ooo.ooo during the next year. it is estimated. Mill agents in announcing the advance in prices have frankly said that the upward trend IS tne result or wage lncfeaScSa
 Raise in Price Expected
 The rise in the price of cotton goods, announced up to today. is comparatively small, fraction of cent a yard in most cases, but selling agents predict that the net advance to the retailer may ulti- mately reach cents yard. Some f- creased prices also have been quoted on wooden goods and dealers freely predict higher prices for next season.
 New Bedford where the manufacturers of fine cotton goods have refused to ac- cede to the demands of the employees for an additional per cent increase has dis placed Lawrence as the center of the textile situation. Unless the mill own CTS give the increase demanded within & few days, it is feared that strike of from 25,o00 to 5000 operatives vii follow While I an increase of per cent has hann grant ] ed the New Bedford operatives are fri- sistent that they receive 10 per cent 1 Secretary Devoll of the Manufacturers association has promised them that tht
 mill owners will decide early in the weeh whether this will be granted, The sue- 1 gestion has been made that an immediate 1 increase of 71s per cent be given with a l promise of an additional 21s per cent on a given date. This may be the basis or d compromise.

Debate May Last Ten Days

The debate may run for 10 days, and will be fruitful of much campaign lit- erature. It Is considered pretty certain that MT. Underwood and the people will profit by the delay that has been oc- casioned by the veto of the President last year. He will probably get more ad- vantageous compromise from the Senate than he got on the bill when 1t was passed before The republicans have introduced a substitute bill that carries an average ad valorem duty of 35 per cent as against the democratic rate of 20 per cent This is a lively concession on the part or the republicans, an admission that they rec ognize the necessity of revision of the schedule. They did not make this con cession in the beginning of the fight last year. The compromise last year was se- cured from the insurgents in. the Senate. The regulars stood out for the old Payne bill.
 The regulars in the House now are conceding stiff reduction that comes very close to the rate compromised upon last year, which was 29 per cent. IT is expected that the compromise rate this time will be nearer 25 per cent. The republican minority bill claims to be based on the report of the tariff board. The President in his message transmit ting the report of the board to Congress recommended that this schedule be re- vised on the basis of the findings con- tained in the report. The republicans re- wise the schedule on these terms and place the rate at 30 per cent. A compro- mise bill placing the rate somewhere be- tween that carried in the two bills will be the law that is finally passed by the two houses. This bill will go to the President for his signature.
 Better Rate Than Before The President cannot have the excuse for a. Oeto that he had last year. The rate in the bill will be nearer the pro posed democratic tare than that proposed by the republicans. and a better rate than was carried in the compromised bill last year.
 There is no yelling the fact that the
 republicans are very much alarmed over
 the danger that threatens their pet pro-
 tective policies.

Lorimer Case Wednesday

Senator Lorimer's case comes 10 a vote before the special Investigating committee on Wednesday. which, his supporters claim, will be ] 10 3 in his favor They hazard no predictions as to the outcome in the Senate. The big fight will be made on the plea of the senator's counsel, who holds that the Lorimer case was once decided by the Senate and is not open to another in- vestigation. Some of the senators who were inclined to vote against him are said to be hesitating al the contention that no senator can be tried twice for the same offense.
 Leaders of both parties are making efforts to adjourn Congress before tn, national conventions. In the House June 10 has been tentatively set as the date for which the leaders aim Senate leaders are cooperating in this and some of them have oeclared there Is no reason why Congress cannot be ad- iourned by that time

 BE CLOSED THIS WEEK

Lime Sulphur 10 Best.

The San Jose scale 10 minute IN
sect which. soon after It is hatchea,
finds a soft spot in the bark Of

the formation of 2 whiush scale on
its back. This scale is about one
sixteenth Of an inch in diameter and
is usually q little raised in the mid
die. Il
The most effective remedy Is to

as follows: Sulphur, one pound; pest
lime. one pound, and water, fiVs gal
Ions.
Stake the lime-when slaked AID
the sulphur and about one gallon OF
the water so that the mixture Will
boil easily. Boil until the sulphur Is
thoroughly dissolved, which should
take not quite an hour. Keep it well

LITTLE ATTENTION TO COWS
When Tcats Become Cracked They
Are Painful and Often Get Animal -
Into Very Bad Habit.
(By ". r. GILBERT.)


When the cows tsats become
cracked they are not only painful to
the animal herself but she may get
into what is very bad habit. namely,
that of retaining her milk. .
The result OF this is that the COW
will be almost sure TO go dry much
sooner than she would under ordinary
circumstances. The soreness or break.
ing out OF small blisters Upon ihe
teats Is most troublesome and dIih-
cult to cure, but as soon rs 1t mahes
its appearance the teats should be
bathed with warm water and hltle
ointment applied. The COW affected
should be MIXED last, 80 that Inc
trouble may not be conveyed to those
yet free from 1t. u:
Moreover, before commencing milk
Ing it Is recommended that the teats
after being washed should be softened
with little lard.
After milking Is finished the teats
should be again washed and ointment
consisting OF raseline and lard ID
equal proportions and a small guam
tity Of carbolic acid applied.
A little attention OF this sort Is
servceable alike to the COW and her
owner.
