Government Intervention or Seizure
OF Mines in Anthracite Fields
Will Not Occur, Report Says.

Philadelphia, Aug. 23.-Govern-
ment intervention or seizure of mines
in the anthracite strike situation will
not take place, it was learned here
tonight from a highly authoritative
source. The information was given
for publication with the understand
ing that the informant's identity be

Further information from this
source was to the effect that soon
probably within week, representa-
tives of the anthracite operators and
miners will sign peace pact that
will send 5000 Diners back to work
with neither side receding from its
present stand to make no further
concessions.
The agreement that will make pos
sibIe the ending Of the anthracite
strike, according to the same source,
will overcome the seemingly insur-
mountable difficulties which present
ed themselves at the meeting between
anthracite operators and miners that
ended in a deadlock last week. De-
tails of the plan, however, were not
made public.

APPROACHES TO BRIDGE
ARE BEING CONSTRUCTED

Rogers, Ark, Aug. 24.-Road Over
seer Musten began work yesterday
on the approaches for one of the two
steel bridges TO be placed over Prairie
creek on the War Eagle road. When
these two bridges are completed Bent
on county will have stretch of 18
miles of as fine a road as can be
found anywhere, that will be a monu-
ment to cooperative effort. The
farmers living along this road furn-
ished the labor to clear the right of
way, the business men of Rogers
contributed the money to pay all the
dynamite and cement that was used,
and the county judge put the heavy
road machinery of the county on the
job to do the grading. The result of
this combined effort has not only
given to this particular section a road
that is near perfect, without dollar
of Indebtedness over it, but it has been
the means of bringing about much
better feeling and a closer relation
ship between the people of the town
and county.

GROWERS ORGAN
IZATION AT SARCOXIE

At meeting held at Sarcoxie
recently, tobacco growers associ-
alton was formed with B. G. Logan,
president and j. ID. Roper, secretary.

that tobacco culture can be made a
paying proposition. They expect to
secure pledges for 100 acres of to-
bacco to be grown near that town
next year. The farmers are asked to
plant only small patches, one to three
acres and to give them careful at
tention. This is in the nature Of an

NEosHo SHIPS 4s CARS GRAPES
From the Miner and Mechanic.

fOIIl LIc NllHcT anu MECiIdIllG.
| A visit to the shipping sheds on The
Kansas City Southern track on North
Washington street Wednesday ena-
bled representative of the Miner and
Mechanic to get some additional in
formation regarding the grape ship
ments from Neosho this year.
Manager Eastridge and Assistant
R. w. Dunaphant were busy loading
the third car of Concords to be ship
ped and which was 10 go to Tulsa,
Oklahoma. They estimated that
probably three more cars would be
shipped out within the next few days,
which would complete the shipments
for this season.
The shipments of Moore's Early
grapes, which ripens about two weeks
before the Concords, closed more than
ten days ago, and amounted to 40 cars
loads. This, with the estimate of six
cars of Concords makes forty-six to
be shipped from Neosho this season.
not taking any account Of the hun
dreds or perhaps thousands of baskets
bought up by hucksters.
While there is no doubt that had
not the territory to which the grapes
could be shipped been confined to dis
tricts of rev hundred miles, caused
by the railroad strike, the prices re-
ceived by the growers would have
been considerably greater, the returns
amount to a pretty neat little sum
after all. The first few cars ship
ped netted the growers 35 cents a bas-
ket. The price then dropped to 25
cents, and few days later to 20. A
few cars sold as low as IS, and the
price went up to 20 cents again. The
car of Concords shipped out Wednes-
day brought 20 cents, but Mr.. Bales,
the bookkeeper, informed us that they
had an offer of % cents for the next
car to be shipped. 1t is therefore fair
to say that the price received will be
on an average nearly 25 cents. A car
of grapes contains from 3641 to $500
baskets. Estimating the average to
be 3720 baskets and the price 25 cents
and car would come to $3.50. On.
this basis the returns from the esti
mated forty-six cars would amount TO
$42, ,780, which is not so bad, consider
ing this is only the third year since
car load shipments have been made
from Neosho.
