Blum nous Operators and Miners

IF NO AGREEMENT REACHED

4C0,CC0 Men Involved in Outcome Of
Conference-Hope Trouble Can
Be Averted in Illinois.

B!tumnous coal operators and
miners will meet in join conference
in Chicago today to make a wage
5Cale for the four competitive states
and the decision reached will affect
the 100000 cCal miners in all thc
hitumiaou8 districts of the United

will b. represented.
Under the rules of the miners If
no agreement is reached on n wage
scale before April | ana no Hcgot:a
tions are on, nearly 100000 miners
must suspend work.
The lust conference was held in
Philadelphia and was adjusted ON
motion of the miners. The miners
asked for an increase OF 8 cents a
ton, 10 per cent advance on dead
work and day labor and that ell
coal should be paid for on the mine
run basis. Neither side would make
concessions.
After this adjourn ment Interna-
tional President John ?. White call

The general opinion is that an agree

the stopping OF work on April +. In
Ohio the Legislature enacted law
that the miners must be paid on the
mine run basis. Both the operators
and miners admit they cannot aet
together before April !

Act Of 1884 Clearly EXcmpts Amcri-

Washington, March l7.--Sena,or
Owen, personal representative Of
President Wilson on the Intcroccani;

repeal bill has been referred said 20
day he would insist upon meeting
Of the committee this week to con

1t appears to be the policy Of tie
President TO rush his repeal pro-
gram through both Houses Of Com

for discussion. This at least is the
apparent attitude of Senators Owen

the President that there will be an

exemption from tolls to American
coastwise ships.
Every Democratic Senator who
will vote with the President there
fore not only must reverse his OWE
action, but must rcpudiate the pla.-
form of his party.
Although at present, if vote was
taken, the exemption clause wou!I
be repealed, Ambassador Pages It
tcrances have placed the administra-
tion in a dilemma. The extreme
loquacity of the ambassador is some
thing remarkable, this being his
second offensc.
Last November addressing an Eng
lish throng at southampton, he eX-
pressed this notable opinion:
''In spite OF the great fusion Of
races ana of the great contributions
which other nations have made to
the one hundred millions Of people
across the sea, and to her incal-
cuable wealth. the UNITED STATES
is YET ENGLISH LED AND ENG
LISH RULED"
Such conditions did not exist in
1872, the primary cause of that un
fortunate war being due to England
attempting the right of search cf
American ships and the Impress
ment of American seamcn. Ever
American warships were searched by
the British, and scamen alleged 10
be Of English birth taken off.
The United States decided TO fight
then in preference to submitting.
The difference is that we now sa-
pincly submit although the clause
in tho Panama Canal Act granting
free tolls to coastwiSe shipping is

Under the present conditions we

ON RIGHT TRACK.

With the organization yesterday of
Farmers Union Warehouse, Milling
and Mercantile Co." a step is taken
in the right direction. There is no
reason why q big cooperative market
cannot be established here in. Bis.
marck not only for the handling of
grain, but live stock and other farm
products. -. g.. .~ -
HBurleigh county should be one, of
the best dairy centers in the state,
and there is nc reason why co-opera-
tive creameries should not be founded
In Minnesota there are 800 co-opera-
tive c~reameries. Through them, the
farmers ae1eits i WONDERFUL erect up
on the market. Previous to the for
nation Of these institutions, the
great centralizersS and packing com.
blllnes OF the large cities dominated
the market and dictated the prices.
With the establishment of farmers
cooperative elevators. the farmers &C
cepted the theory Of cooperative
marketing as being sound, but it was
but the first step in the right direc.
ton. Only with the establishment of
t: rminal selling agencies is thes3pro-

Without that terminal selling

Under the old line system as re-
presented by the Minneapolis Cham.
bcr OF commerce Combine, the farm.
ers grain is controlled. by men who
absorb all of the profits derived from
handling and manipulation in the ter
minal market. Under the cooperative
plan, the farmer is a partner in the
business, and secures a share of these
profits in proportion to the business
he sends his cooperative exchange.
That illustrates how far apart the
two systems really are and why it
is impossible for the farmers inter-
csted in the cooperative terminal
marketing movement to work through
the combines organizations, the
Minneapolis Chamber of Commerce.
mi Good Outlet. :.
The farmers are steadily demon
stratfng" that they can build a good
outlet outside the channels controlled
by the Chamber of Commerce. When
the farmers Cooperative Exchange
was first established 1t sold some of
the wheat to some of the big mills
in. Minneapolis. That outlet was cut
off by the Combine as soon as big
fellows in the combine could get to
it., The Equity Exchange then went to
work building an outlet among the
country millers, masters and jobbers
throughout the country and in this
they have been very successful. In
terror mills prefer to buy wheat which
comes direct from the producing dis
tricts without first being passed
through the mixing. process in termi-

outlet which the farmers Co-opera-
tive Exchange served, which well de-
monstrates that there is plenty of
outlets for grain sent to the Cooper

Press dispatches contain news of

coverer. ",--'>&'
A thorough test should be made
before hope is aroused in the hearts
of the thousands afflicted.
Friedman's cure and the pathetic
spectacles which followed are still
green in our memory. The press
owes the public a special duty in ex'
plotting so.called medical discoveries
and nostrums.
A great injustice, yes, a distinct
cruelty was done many by ill-advised
publicity following the discovery Of
the Friedman serum.
There should be a federal law to
prevent the exploitation of so.called
cures before their value has been
demonstrated. To arouse hope of re-

new treatment is a heartless. act, I'M
