MEN AND OPERATORS AGREE
Conference at Kansas City Makes
Progress Toward Settlement of
Differences in Southwest.

Kansas City.-Negotiatio being
conducted here between the coal
miners and mine operators Of the
states Of Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma
and Arkansas made decided progress
toward a settlement when the opera
tors agreed to equal the terms grant.
ed the miners Of the central states.
The agreement provides $50 day
hike for day men and 81 cents a day
for boys.
A full agreement was prevented by
the insistence of Alex Howat, presi-
dent of the Kansas miners, upon a
modification of the penalty clause OF
the existing contract.
A subcommittee composed of H. n.
Taylor, representing the operators and
David Frampton, the miners, reported
to the general conference at 4:30
o'clock in the afternoon that they had
agreed on a wage increase Of $50 a
day for day men, which the miners
had asked; the advance of 81 cents a
day for boys. which the miners had
should be retroactive to August 16, as
the miners had demanded.
The report made no mention of the
other demands Of the miners: that
tonnage men be given an increase of
from 10 to 161z cents ton. that the
penalty clause in the existing agree
ment be revised, and that any other
inequalities discovered in the new
agreement be settled by districts.
Wbou fho ST1hoomniffoo 0f fUo "a
ported to the subcommittee of six, the
latter accepted the report. But Howat
insisted that the penalty clause be
changed.
The operators assert they have now
equaled the terms granted in Indiana,
Ohio and Pennsylvania and will make
no other concessions. The penalty
clause in Illinois was revised, but It
provided for a fine of So day for
each man who went on strike contrary
to the terms of his agreement, and for
pass on such matters.
The penalty clause in the agreement
recently signed by the southwestern
miners and operators provides for a
fine of 81 day instead OF So, and pro-
vides on the other hand that if an
operator locks OUT his men, contrary
to the terms of the agreement, he shall
pay 81 a day for each man locked
out" Instead of a permanent board,
the agreement Of the southwestern
miners and operators provides for a
grievance board to be composed Of
three miners and three operators.

crops like rye, clover. cowpeas, or al

maximum quantity Of nutrients is pre-

corn, when sliced, lost 1873 per cent Of
the dry matter, against 23.s per cent

field. Moreover, there is less waste
In feeding silage than in feeding fod-
der, since good silage properly fed is
all consumed. When corn is cut for
silage the land is cleared and left
ready for another crop sooner than
when the corn is shocked or is husked

put into the silo at a cost not above
that of shocking, husking, grinding and

FOOD VALUE OF CORN SILAGE
Crop Is More Easily Harvested and

Almost any green crop can be made
into silage successfully. Much care,
however, must be taken to expel the
air from such holloW-stemmed plants
as the small cereal grains by cutting

other hand, few crops, such as the
saccharine sOrghums, have so much
sugar that unless cut at a more ma

produce sour silage.
In most parts of the United States
more food material can be obtained

from an acre of any other crop that
can be grown. Corn is more easily

CHANGE PASTURE FOR SHEEP
For Best Results 1t Is Imperative
That Animals Have Grass Not
Too Closely Bitten.

For best results it is imperative
that sheep have frequent changes Of
pasture, that a fresh bite" be had,
that grass may not be too closely bit
ten, that worms therefore will be less
likely to infest them and that they
may have surer supply of mineral
matter as well as organic matter in
their feed. Lambs especially must
have new seeding each spring. On the
Sheep-tainted and contaminated pas
lures they infest themselves with
worms. On new grass they escape
worms and besides that. find such
grass more palatable and easily mas
ticated and digested.

Survivors Unable to Recover Bodies

Rome.-Italy is again suffering from
an earthquake disaster, the extent OF
which has not yet been measured. Il
Is known, however, that hundreds OF
people have been killed and thousands
injured Many small towns and vii
lagos have been wrecked, and al
though assistance is being hurried
from all parts of the country to the
afflicted area there is much suffering
for want of food, medicines and shell
ter for the people.
Every earthquake disaster is for
Italy like a lost battle" said EXPIRE
mier Luzzatti after the AVezzano ca
tastrophe, and this is now repeated in
Tuscany. Though not SO great the
present disaster recalls the distant
tragedy of Messina.
1t is not yet possible to calculate
how many hundreds are dead. The
list up to the present shows close to
400 already reported. There are many
bodies under the ruins, and there are
wounded also under the ruins who
have not yet been reached by the
rescuers.
All Glasses Assist.
There are believed to me many
thousands of injured; the hospitals at
Spezin have already received about
500 and 800 others have been taken
TO other hospitals nearby. Improvised
hospitals composed of tents are car
ing for many others-nobody knows
how many. The injured and the home
less are thankful at least that the
weather keeps fair but at night it is
very cold, especially on the mountain
slopes.
All classes are combining in their
efforts to render aid. Monarchists as
well as Republicans, Socialists and
Clericals, and even anarchists are
flocking to the scene of the earth
quake from the bigger cities-Spezia.
