M|MERsANDOPERATORs
DISTRICT CONFERENCE

Cleveland, Ohio, March 19.-Repre-
sentatives of the United Mine Work
ers of America in the bitmuinous dis
trict of Ohio, Pennsylvania, Indiana
and Illinois are gathering here today
for conference with the operators,
which is set for tomorrow. The de.
mands of the union will be considered
by the mine operators, and the result
of the joint conference will be of vital
importance to the coal consumers of
the entire country.
The stand to be taken by the opera
tors will likely depend upon what
strength of leadership ]. P. White,
president of the mine workers union,
has been able to show in the crisis. 1t
Is reported that the union has been
busily engaged in the last few weeks
in organizing the miners in West Vir-
ginia and other states where the
mines have been worked largely by
ncn-union labor A big fund has been
raised by the miners for carrying on
this work, and If they are successful it
will help them to gain victory. Prac-
tically all coal now going over the
PiClo vi TIC AlidntlC IOT eA-
port comes from non-union mines.
Most of this export coal has been load
ed at Baltimore and Norfolk, from the
mines of West Virginia and Maryland.
So far the union has not been very
successful in building up its organjza-
ton in those two states, and the OPP
orators there have been able to mine
coal when the union-worked mines
have been shut down by strikers
In case of strike, the operators
say, artificial anthracite made from
the refuse of culm heaps will be re-
sorted to to relieve the fuel famine.
The artificial coal was first expert
mented with in 1902 and found to be
quite serviceable, although of course
not equal to the real article. 1t is now
used to some extent in hotels and big
apartment houses in place of steam
coal. Large plants for the manufac-
ture of the artificial coal bricks are
being built, according to the operators,
which is thought to indicate that they
expect a strike.

HOUSTON MARKET REVIEW.

Houston, Texas, March 19.-Houston
cotton interests have been advised OF
the efforts on the part of a farmer
near Kingsville to produce the first
bale of new crop cotton this year,
breaking the worlds record for early
production, If possible. The cotton
was plantd late in January and is re-
ported to be up and growing fast.
Cotton in the extreme southwestern
portions of the state is reported well
up, while elsewhere preparations for
planting are under way.
Telegraphic advices from all over
the state denote that rain has fallen
in nearly every section during the
week. AS result of the wet weather
crop preparations have been delayed
The rice market appears to be
awakening from its lethargy. Clean
rice continues very firm with strong
tendency to advance. Sentiment Is
generally very bullish, with optimistic
views being expressed at all primary
markets. Screenings and brewers are
very scarce and in good request. An
active demand continues for seed rice.
Business in the Houston produce
market is active, business coming in
strong from the country as well as
the city trade. Potatoes are steadily
and higher prices this week
are in order Onions are IL cents
higher and will remain up until the
Texas crop comes in in April. The
poultry market continues about the
same. Some dealers say receipts Of
hens will be heavier in short time
and prices will go down. Very few
young chickens are being received.

NORTH DAKOTA
| FIRST BATTLE GROUND
Republican Presidential Primary Held
in That State Today-Result Will
Tell Largely in Campaign.

Fargo, N. D., March ia presi-
Dental preference primary, the first
ever held in the country, is in progress
throughout North Dakota today. Roose-
velt's campaign managers in this
state, who have been conducting a
whirlwind campaign during the last
| few weeks, declare he is certain to be
the popular choice, but this is disputed
by the LaFollette followers, who have
also been busy. 1t is the general opin-
ion that both Roosevelt and LaFollette
will lead Taft in this state, although
the friends of the president hope that
the division in the ranks of the insur-
gents may result in Taft victory.
Mr.. Bryan is doubtless the favorite
of majority of the democratic voters,
but his retirement from the presiden-
tial race will, it is thought, benefit
Wilson. The New Jersey governor has
delivered several speeches in this
state and was well received. The
Clark forces have also carried on
campaign. Democratic leaders predict
that few will vote for Harmon.
Coming first, as it does, the North
Dakota primary has been marked by
the most strenuous campaign that any
state will have, and the state is today
a battlefield that many declare will de-
termine the result of the presidential
warfare. 1t is known that Colonel
Roosevelt attaches the greatest impor-
lance to the North Dakota situation,
and it is stated that the result here
and in the district primaries in New
York state next Tuesday may deter
mine whether he will continue or aban-
don the fight for the republican nomi-
nation. The next state to hold presi-
Dental preference primary will be
Wisconsin, two weeks from today.
Washington, March 19-North Da-
kota's presidential primary, in prog
ress today, is expected by campaign
of both parties to furnish a
strong indication of which way the
political wind is blowing, and the re-
suit is awaited in the capital with
interest. 1t is known that
Senator Dixon, Roosevelt's campaign
has staked his all on the
next two weeks, and the battle of
North Dakota will be one of the prin-
cipal ones of the whirlwind Roose-
veltian campaign. If the coloneps
arms are not crowned with victory |
there, many of his friends believe that
a further fight will be hopeless.
Besides North Dakota, presidential
preference primaries will be held this
year in Wisconsin, Nebraska, Oregon,
New Jersey and California, and posi-
bly, in few other states. These will
