St. Landry clarion. (Opelousas, La.) 1890-1921, 1913-12-13

We are compelled to publish only
the report for the parishes of St.
Landry and Evangeline, since
space prevents us from publish
ing the report in full.
Following is the report for
Evangeline and st. Landry:
Years.
1918 1912.
Evangeline 1901 9,94O
st. Landry 13,O25 1871
This is a good yield, if the
great number of drawbacks,
which the farmers in this vicin-
ity, experienced this year, are
taken into consideration. It is
true that the prospects were ev-
en- better, in both st. Landry and
Evangeline, than for the last six
or seven years, and it was
thought that a record breaking
crop would be made, at the be.
ginning of the season. But the
continuous rains which visited
these two parishes were enough
to place a damper on every cot
ton planter in this section. AT
ter these rains, it is surprising to
note that more cotton was made

FEDERATION HEADS
MEET W|THPRES|DENT
View of Labor on Minimum
Wages for Women Will Be
Told President.

The executive council of the Ameri-
can Federation Of Labor, headed by
Samuel Gompers. president Of the Or
ganization, Is In conference this after
noon with the President. The vew of
organised labor with reference to a
minimum wage to women and children
will be given the President.
The morning session of the executive
council held in the headquarters of the
federation In the Ouray building. was
devoted to hearing the details of the
controversy between the building trades
department and the tplasterers' organi1
satfon. The council ruled that the
plasterers would have to affiliate with
the building trades department II they
desired to stay within the American
Federation Of Labor.
Attention was also given by the ex-
ecutive board members to measures of
humanitarian nature. having to- do
particularly with the betterment of
conditions among woman and child
employees. The report Of the executive
council, which Is to be presented to
the Seattle. convention In November,
will probably contain some definite
recommendations for the further relief
of the conditions now prevailing.
While numerous decisions have been
reached by the council in the disputes
that arise in the Federation, there re-
main q number of disagreements that
are to be given attention before tho
council adjourns Saturday. Among
these will be the protest of the Inter-
national Union Of Steam Engineers
against the issuance Of q charter to
the steam shovel and dredgemen, and
the objection of the steam engineers
against the San Francisco Labor Coun-
cil continuing to recognize delegates
from the Independent unions Of steam
shovslmen. It II the desire Of the en-
gineers to .unSeat the representatives
Of the steam shovel men.
