ing counties Of the district in the

Think Settlement Probable.

Wilkes-Barre, Pa, March 30.-The
action of President Baer of the Read
ing company, in consenting to an
other conference with the miners has
created much better feeling in min,
ing and business circles. The gen.
eral impression now is that at the
next meeting an agreement will be
reached satisfactory to both sides, land
that the suspension ordered by Pres
ident White of the Miners Union, will
be- short.
Many of the collieries in this re-
gion worked short handed today, min
ers failing to report for work.

Louisville, KY, March 3O-TeIe.
phone adVices from Hickman. Ky. to-
aay say the Mississippi river levee
tnere held throughout the night, but
that the swollen waters are rising
rapldly,and it is feared the Swapping
point Of the levee's strength will be
reached before midnight
All night long gangs of men strug-
gled against the rushing waters. They
piled hundreds of sand bags behind
the levee and built up the great bank
TO ward off a surging current that
rose higher and higher each hour.
Guards armed with rifles who pa
trolled the levee added to the scenes
grimness. There had been dispute
among the townspeople as to the ad-
visibility of cutting the levee at the
lower part of town in order to avert
the flooding of the upper part. Guards
were placed finally to prevent the cut
ting at any point.
AdVices from Columbus this morn
ing say the town is under three or
four feet of water. The property dam
age has been great, houses are float
ing about in the streets and all the
inhabitants have taken to the high
lands.
The only life loss has occurred at
hickman, where a baby dropped from
a boat by its mother last night was
drowned before it was recovered.

MERCHANT HAS A COMPLAINT.
Wants the City to Put Street Sprinkler
Into Use.
Brunswick, March %, 1911

Brunswick, March %, 1912.
Editor News, City.
Can you not help to bring relief
through your esteemed paper, to the
suffering merchants against the nuts
ance of dust?
We pay taxes, and think We are
entitled to have the street sprinkled
occasionally" Today has been a
windy one and the dust has been
something fierce, and as it was too
warm to close the doors we had to
suffer the pain of seeing our stores
and stocks of goods filled with dust.
This morning I called the atten-
ton of two aldermen to this fact, and
they advised me to phone to the city
hall. This l did and asked the city
engineer for relief He promised to
attend to it, but advised me to see
the chairman of the committee on
streets and sanitation. This I was
unable to do, and in consequence nc
sprinkler has been seen on the streets
today.
If you can bring relief you will con
fer a great relief on
A SUFFERING MERCHANT.

CONFERENCE HAS BEEN Ar
RANGED FOR EARLY IN
COMING WEEK..
President Baer Wires that Operators
are Agreeable to Another Confer
ence-OutIook for Settlement is
Very Bright.
Wires that Operators

New York, March 30.-Anothel
and the committee of miners, the date
for which may be set shortly, has
given rise to hopes that settlement
OF wage and otner questions will be
amicably reached, and that the sus-
pension of work in the nard coal re-
gion that commences on April will
be of short duration.
An adjustment of difficulties in the
hard coal region was indicated in a
statement by representative of a
leading railroad operator, who gave
the information that the operators
were willing to grant a small in
crease in wages.
- This declaration in New York was
soon followed by telegram from
Cleveland to President Baer of the
Reading company, at Philadelphia land
signed by the three anthracite dis
trict p1 esidents, regarding another
conference. President Baer replied
that the operators were agreeable to
a further conference.
Operators here today were unable
to say whether the miners would sub
NIT a new proposition or not. 1t was
suggested that the first conference
might take the form of general dis
cussion of condition in the anthracite
region, and that as a result of that
discussion the miners would draft a
new set of demands.
The settlement of the difficulties in
the bituminous region, it was said
here today, will strengthen the posi-
ton of the hard coal miners in case
of strike, as they would receive
financial support from the soft coal
men, who would be at work.

Conference Arranged.

Cleveland, o., March 30.-Practica1-
~ The entire coal situation disturbed
by the anthracite and bituminous min
ers' wage disputes today was put on
a basis whereby it is thought all diff
ferences will be settled amicably with
only a short suspension of WORK.
The announcement from Philadel.
phia that the anthracite operators and
miners will confer in Philadelphia on
April 10 to secure terms of new
wage agreement, thus reopening their
negotiations broken off in New York
on March IA, was followed by state
ments of union officials here that they
were anxious to avert strike. The
anthracite mines will shut down on
Monday at midnight, when the pres
ent wage agreement expires. The
fact that ten days will then elapse
before negotiations are resumed and
also the necessity of submitting any
terms that may be agreed upon by a
referendum vote of the union make
it probable, according to union Off
Gals, that the suspension in the an
thracite mines will continue for a
month.
The conference of bituminous OPP
orators and miners announced today
that the essential details of an agree
ment in their districts had been de-
cided upon. It's chief provision is
for an increase in pay to the men OF
five cents ton.
AS it is less than the miners asked
for. 1t. too. will have to be submitted
to a referendum vote of the union be-
fore it may become effective. This,
the miners say, will entail short
suspension in the bituminous mines.
Bituminous Pan.
At the same time the bituminous
miners and operators hoped to COM
plete an agreement whereby the min
ers would accept slight increase in
nav. instead of their original demands.
A subcommittee, to which had been
referred an offer of a compromise by
the miners, was ready to report that
it had accepted the proposal.
The operators said they we're con-
fident of its acceptance by the full
conference, which has been in ses-
sion here for ten days.
But the final acceptance OF the
terms stil1 have to be presented be-
fore the unions policy committee, and
by it submitted to referendum vote
Of the union. Meantime suspen-
sion. beginning Monday, of both the
anthracite and bituminous mines. was
said to be unavoidable.

Watching Memphis Levees.

Memphis, Tenn, March 30.-That
the Mississippi river here will record
forty feet by Sunday night and forty
one feet in the next five days was
declared by Local Forecaster S. C.
Emery in an official statement issued
today. He believes that with the
water now in sight, the river will
attain a stage of forty-two feet or
even higher provided the leVees don't
break
At Helena, Ark, stage of fifty feet
will be reached by the middle of next
week. Because many of the landings
have been submerged and for fear of
striking the levees, thereby causing
breaks, the steamboat lines have
withdrawn many of their steamers.
They are tied up at the local wharves.
The st. Louis boats have been dis
continued. Only small steamers are
being nayigated in the upper and
lower river trade.
The local gauge early today showed
a stage of 389.
Conditions in the manufacturing
district are such as to cause hur-
ried preparations for the removal of
property to higher ground. A num-
Der of sawmills will be put out of
commission in the next few days if
the water continues to rise.
The government engineers feel con-
fident that the levees will withstand
the pressure of the water, but are
preparing for emergencies

ALTAMAHA RIVER is HIGH.
Almost over the Banks at Some
Points Up the River.

Reports received in the city yes
terday from points along the Altama-
ha river were to the effect that, at
several places, the river was almost
over the banks and the danger stage
had been reached. 1t is expected,
however, that the water will at once
recede.
The river began to rise a few days
ago, and, swelled by the heavy rains
of the past week, it has several times
reached within a few inches of the
banks.

ADDITIONAL PROGRESSIVE FARGO FIRMS
Commercial Club Notes


The executive COMMITTEES and Sec
retary Stine are very busy these days
attending to the collection OF the an
nual budget. A few weeks ago they
sent out letters to the business men,
asking them to send in their coutri-
buttons in order to obviate the ne
cessity OF circulating subscription pa
pers for various projects, such as the
club desires to support, such as pub
licity, the securing Of new industries,
larger and more conventions, and the
aiding Of industries already estab-
lished. The merchants have not re-
sponded as rapidly as the executive
committee desired, and it is essential
that all who have not made their sub
scription, should at least contribute
for the annual budget, In order that
active work may begin as soon as pos
sible.
The arrangements for the series of
Billy Sunday meetings occupied the
attention of Secretary stine, Monday
and Tuesday, and various available
sites were looked over by Mr.. Gill,
Sundays advance agent and secretary.
It was finally decided to use the one
selected on Fifth street and Second
avenue north. 1t is desired by Mr..
Sunday to have the tabernacle as near
the business center as possible, and
this was about the only available
ground to be had. Their definite de-
cision will be announced perhaps to-
morrow and active arrangements for
the erection will be started.
Pres. Howard Elliott OF the N. P.
railway presented Secretary stine with
a copy of Progress and Prosperity, a
valuable and interesting compendium
of information about American rail-
roads, their history, their development,
their efficiency and service to business
as q whole, and their place in the
building up of great and powerful
nation.
