Events in LOuisiana'
PUT. LOUISIANA
ON PAYING BASIS
PROGRESSIVE SLOGAN OF THE
FARMERS UNION ANNUAL
CONVENTION.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Opelousas.-"Put Louisiana on
paying basis"
That slogan will be the outgrowth OF
the tenth annual convention of the
Farmers Union and shape its entire
future. The sessions were executive,
but the signs are plain. The plan is
statewide selling system. The start
will probably be made by extending
the operations of the Texas Cotton
Selling Company to New Orleans. The
concern handled only 10000 bales.
which is insignificant, but its advo-
Gates say it will grow fast. They also
say it will not interfere with the NUM-
cipal cotton warehouse, but will help
the New Orleans project, virtually de-
ries there.
The cotton enterprise will be follow
ed by extension of the system to other
products. First, vigorous efforts will
be made to arouse communities to or
ganize the farmers, reaching the latter
through bankers and business men,
after the Texas example. An expert
ment was tried with the Opelousas
merchants. r. D. Bowen urged them
to issue a call to the farmers around
the town to form a branch of the I'M
ion, and then cooperate in getting the
most money for their crops. He did
not advocate cooperating with stores
and cutting out all middlemen. but only
the needless middle men as we'll as
other impositions and costly blunders.
Not only will the idea take root, but
Isaac Ross. leading merchant, got
back at the farmers by charging them
with being their own enemies, insisting
upon disposing of the products of
months of labor in a single day at any
price, instead of marketing leisurely,
wisely and profitably. The merchants
as first aid to the farmers.
The second step to be taken by the
State union will likely be cooperative
with other unions and selling associs-
tons. Labor will be interested in
central markets. such as Shreveport
has started and New Orleans will
build. The Central Trade and Labor
Council of New Orleans has been in
communication on the subject, but it's
expected committee has not materia-
lized. The selling associations being
formed all over the state are willing
to join with the unions to further the
common aim.

doubled vituperativeness and noisy
rancor.
This agitation, 1t has been pointed
out by Berchtold. was the direct cause
of the tragedy at Sarajevo, when the
archduke and his morganatic wife fell
by bullets fired by a Servian. The
Austrian minister of foreign affairs
demonstrated in the judicial inquiry
that followed the crime, that Servian
officials, civil and military, had been
involved in the events that led to the
assassination.
Deemed Time for Action.
The moment for action had come.
Berchtold surveyed the international
horizon.
He observed that Russia was in
volved in a big strike which had rev.
dictionary tinge.
That France was in a turmoil of po-
litical uncertainty.
That Great Britain was facing an
internal CONFUSION as a result of the
Ulster situation.
The Austrian ultimatum to Servia,
demanding an apology for Servia' 8
part in the tragedy of Sarajevo and a
suppression of the anti-Austrian agi-
tation in Belgrade. followed promptly.
in the midst Of the preoccupation of
the triple entente.
Berchtold realizes more clearly than
anybody else that he has challenged
the entire Slav world, with the excep-
ton Of Bulgaria; that his quarrel is
not with Servia, but with Russia.
which has stood back of Servia in her
attacks upon Austria.
NikoIa Pashitch, Servian Premier.
Nikola Pashitch, premier and min.
lister of foreign affairs of Servia, has
twice before been the dominant figure
in Servian politics in the course of his
40 years in the public affairs of his
country. His policy always has been
bitterly hostile to Austria-Hungary
and the present crisis in the relations
of the two countries is largely the out
come of his provocative attitude.
Pashitch throughout his career has
conducted a vigorous fight for the
economic freedom of Servia from Aus
tria. BY means Of railway tariffs and
inspection regulations on the frontier
of Austria, Servia's natural road to
the markets of western Europe, the
Austrian government has been able to
control Servian trade in pigs and poul
try. the staple products of Servia-
ciamor Against Austria.
But the chief grievance Of the Ser
VANS has been the continued domino
ton of Austria-Hungary over large
population across the frontier which
/ the Servians maintain is of Sert
blood. Although a considerable part
of this population has contested the
claims of the Servian jingoes and hal

repeatedly demonstrated its prefer
ence for Austrian rule, the campaign
for liberating the Servian brothers
from the Austrian yoke has been kept
up with frequent outbursts Of anti
Austrian clamor in Belgrade. To this
clamor Russia, always jealous of Aus
tria, has lent her secret and some
times her open support.
The annexation OF Bosnia-Herze-
govina by Austria in 1909 produced a
wild demand in Servia for immediate
war to liberate the Bosnian brothers
from Austrian rule. At that time,
however, Russia was not ready for &C
ton against Austria, so the clamor
spent itself in torrid speeches and
fervid press declarations.
Occupied Adriatic Ports.
Pashitch was premier of Servia In
1912, at the outbreak Of the Balkan
war. He saw an opportunity to block
Austria's long-sought road to the
Aegean sea. The first objective points
of the Servian armies in the first war
were the ports of the Adriatic, in
what is now Albania. These. with the
help of Montenegro, Servia occupied
in the first stages of the struggle.
At this stage, however, Pashitch's
calculations were upset by Austria.
Acting in conjunction with Italy,
which also had ,pretensions to the
| country inhabited by the aboriginal
stock of the Balkan peninsula, the
Austrian government succeeded in in
ducing Europe to order Servia, Greece
and Montenegro out of the Adriatic
territory occupied by them. and set
aside this region as an Independent
state, to be called Albania.
servians Nursed Their Wrath.
The negotiations which Pashitch
conducted in this phase of the Balkan
struggle we're protracted and delicate,
but eventually the Austro-Italian de-
mand was carried out, and the Ser.
VANS nursed their wrath.
For the success of his defiant att
tude toward Austria. Pashitch depend
ed almost entirely upon Russia. II
! was realized clearly by General Put
mix, the Servian chief Of staff. that re-
sistance to Austria upon the field OF
battle would be unthinkable. so far
as an ultimate triumph for Servian
arms is concerned.
In the course Of the past score OF
years Servia has been conducting an
active agitation among the Slavic
population of southern Austria, and
Pashitch undoubtedly counts upon in
ternal disorders in the rear Of an ad
| yancing Austrian army to embarrass
the enemy in a campaign into Servia
OF the success of this plan there Is
grave doubt, however, as the Catholic
and Moslem Serbs Of Austria have
| no laundering for Servian rule.
