trail Labor Union this evening was
Instructed TO call your attention to
the Wilmington coal situation.
The people OF Wilmington do not
know how much coal will cost them
per ton. They secure for their money
a 1000 pounds ton, not 2,290 pounds.
although the coal dealers state that
the price is so much for 1000 pounds.
10 was pointed out at our meeting
that number OF Wilmington coal
dealers have as yet failed to pay the
excess tax Of twenty-five cents a ton
collected some years ago prior TO the
State OF Pennsylvania declaring the
tax unconstitutional.
The labor movement Is pleased 20
know that tho government Is doing
something for the people and we
would appreciate knowing officially
how you as coal administrator will
be able 10 set the price OF coal in VIII
mingtOn, how much we should right
fully pay and whether or not the deal
ers should consider ton only 2OOO
pounds.
Thanking you for giving attention TO
this matter and assuring you OF the CO.
operation OF the Wilmington people as
represented by tho Central Labor
Union, we are
Very respectfully yours,
Central Labor Union.

tlfy the Delaware Congressional dele
cation that the Wilmington labor

ENGLAND WELCOMES
AMERICAN LOYALTY
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

London, April 4.--The British pub
lie is awaiting final action by the
American congress on the war reso-
luton with feverish interest. Many
reasons are assigned in explanation
of the unusual interest, and chiefly
the nation is sorely perplexed. While
they have evidence of a splendid adj
vance by British troops, the war Of
flee is constantly insisting upon pro-
viding more men at the front, and the
conservation of food supplies. A
striking statement, and almost start
ling, was made by General Robertson
chief of staff. at army headquarters
today, which caused much specula-
ton. He declared the Germans now
are million stronger than ever be-
fore the war, and that greater de-
termination and heavy sacrifices arc
necessary to achieve victory" British
ers now refer to Americas entrance
into war as a "God granted aid tc
struggling Christendom."

The first trial of Fudge was one of

Fudge is under charges of effect

children having been found dead II

part of the city, near Bayview park
The contention at first was that the
caildEen nd either deliberately SUI
cided, or else one had shot the Other
and then killed herself. Later the
claim was made that they had beer
poisoned.
Fudge, the father, however, was in
dicted by the grand jury of murder
and on the first trial was convicted
of murder in the first degree with nj
recommendation to mercy Of tn
court. New evidence came to ligh

SENATE VOTES FOR WAR
Crops Growing Nicely In the
Greatest Farming Season Ever

There isn't anything that the farmers
can raise now that there isn't a big
market for, the farmers are the real
bosses of the land this year. There
isn't any great amount of money in
circulation among the farmers, but
their living conditions are better than
any other class of people. The loss
that the farmers suffered during the
last storms set them back a little fl
nancially, but they are rapidly get
ting back on firm ground
II have seen great number of
the gardens of the girls in the to-
mato clubs, some Of the girls had
their tenth-acre in tomatoes. Tomato
plans have only lately been trans
planted. The more these plants are
transplanted the better, the root sys-
tenn is made stronger and the plant Is
improved generally, making it better
able to stand the summers heat.
"a few farmers are planting the
soy bean for grazing. This year hogs
are receiving special attention from
the farmers and the outlook is good
for Escambia county to furnish sew
eral carloads for the markets next
fall. At present prices, and they are
rising daily, there isn't anything that
will pay better than hogs. w. C.
Barrineau vaccinated seventeen heac
of pigs the other day and is going tc
vaccinate his entire herd of pigs as
they ween. The best way to treat
cholera is to prevent it, not to wait
for the hogs to get it and hen fill
them full of dope trying to cure it.
