10 Blackburn Mentioned.

1t is strongly rumored in politi-
cal circles says the Louisville
Times, that former United States
Senator 10 C. S. Blackburn, of
Woodford county, is the dark
horse" referred to in the race
for the Democratic nomination
for United States Senator at the
next August State wide primary.
Some astute politicians regard
Senator Blackburn as sure
starter. They say the veteran
Democratic leader has recently
expressed himself as being in
his oldtime form and not averse
to entering the lists for the toga.
Senator Blackburn has always
had a large following and might
make it very interesting for his
opponents his friends say.

 Demands Of Men
Especial from United Press )

New York. March 5-The owners of the great anthracite deposits in Penn sylvania, most of them presidents in coal carrying companies, met behind carefully guarded doors here, today. On their action, which will not be made public until March 14, depends whether 1t is to be war or peace in the coal fields.

 This the miners have said in con- vention, will never be accepted.
 The magnates, 1t was known, are determined to refuse one-year agree ment instead of renewing the present one for three years, all increases of wages and recognition of the union to the extent of having the paymas- ters deduct union dues from the wages of the men. Negotiations will be continued some time in the hope that a compromise may be reached

American manufacturers have had the

protective tariffs operate in favor of the
manufacturers in the countries having
such tariffs and against those who seek
to enter such markets that they hesitate
to make the attempt. South American
tariffs, said the speaker. are quite harm
less. once they are understood. There is
no resemblance between them and the
tariff as Americans know ii. In no South
American country is the foreigner in any
line of cotton goods excluded: the market
is open for all and for everything.
Lack OF understanding of South Amer
lean ways of doing business. lack Of SYM
pathy and a general disinclinat1on to do
business In any way other than the one
