COTTON IS STEADY
AFTER EARLY DROP
Better Weather in South and
Easier Liverpool Prices
Are Factors.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, April 1.-The cotton
market opened steady today at a de-
cline of 4 to points underselling
which appeared to be influenced by
prospects for better weather in the
South and the rather easier ruling of
Liverpool.
July sold off to 1924, and October
to 14.4S, net declines of about II to
IA points on active months, but
some trade buying helped to absorb
early offerings, and prices steadied up
or points from the lowest by the
end of the first hour.
Private cables said the Liverpool
market was inactive, with trade call
ing supplied by hedge selling, but re-
ported a better inquiry for cotton
cloths from India.

COAL T|E-UP TO CUT
j. S. BUYING POWER
Pocketbooks of Every One
Likely to Be Touched by
the Mine Shutdown.
BY j. c. ROYLE.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
INDIANAPOLIS, April 1.-None of
the parties to the dispute is likely to
laugh last or best over the soft coal
controversy. Whether the move be
called strike or a lockout, many hun
dreds of mines closed a minute after
midnight today and approximately
$50 900 miners are idle in the central
competitive field. Neither the head
quarters of the United Mine Workers
here nor the operators in the States
affected are able as yet to determine
the exact figures.
Whichever side is right in the strug-
gle over whether the wage scale of the
Jacksonville agreement, based on
$3.50 day shall be continued as the
miners wish, or whether 1t shall be
supplanted by a scale approXlmatlng
that in effect at non-uniOn mines, the
losses to each promise far to outweigh
the benefits. The miners will lose mil
lions in wages. The operators have
millions of capital tied up in properties
not producing a nickel. The only par
ties likely to benefit are the non--union
mines hated by each, and even with
those the loss to business and con-
Seuuent lower fuel demand may out
weigh the benefits.
In Indiana it is estimated about
$4,000 miners will be affected, al
though it is known there are mines in
some districts which have agreed to
continue operations pending new
agreement.
To Be Extensively Felt.
The close down will be extensively
felt in Illinois, where the operators
say the closing of the mines dropped
over $1,000 men off the pay rolls.
Some few mines in that State are re-
ported to have agreed to continue.
The operators say they are willing to
confer with the miners on any other
basis than the Jacksonville scale.
Rice Miller, president of the Illinois
operators, says, however, that no
mine there can make profit under
the old scale, and the owners will not
continue to operate at loss 1t is
possible about $4,000 miners may be
Arkansas and Missouri If a new
agreement in those sections is not
reached promptly.
Neither operators nor miners were
voluble today as to their own plans.
but they willingly engaged in the age
old game of placing the blame,
which has obtained in coal mining
since the Romans found miners sing
ing double quartets around the Corn
ish and Welsh it-mouths 1000 years
ago.
Public Were Protected.
The miners indicate the operators
do not want an agreement until con-
siderable of the present surplus
stocks of coal is worked off. The op-
orators indicate the offer to continue
at the old scale made by the miners
is subterfuge to perpetuate a wage
which is economically impossible.
So far as fuel supplies are con-
cerned, the public is well protected.
One has only to watch the miles of
loaded coal cars on sidings between
Chicago and Pittsburgh to realize
that Coal at Lake Erie ports wait
ing shipment up the lakes would fill

to Toledo. There are over 29,400
cars on Lake Erie docks today.

ever, against loss in buying power

today in which heavy liquidation made
itself felt against prices in the main

desire to take on new commitments.
The manner in which prices fell off

over what was to be expected of the

Rabbit Sails in
the Yuma Flood

Within few hours of the predic-
tion of James Gordon, official observ-
er for Yuma, the crest Of the Colorado
Gila river flood reached Yuma at mid
night Sunday, with the gauge show
ing 1916 feet and a second foot dis
charge of over 100000. Lingering but
short while, the flood began reced-
ing about 2 a. m. Monday. At
o'clock Tuesday morning the gauge
read 22.7, within fraction of a foot
of being a total fall for the % hours
of seven feet At o'clock Monday
night the second foot discharge was
$1,000, almost half the amount Of

of the rise.
acres of land in the south Gila valley,
but little damage or distress was re-
corded in the Yuma district.
A few families in the extreme low
lands were forced to move to the mesa
and the stock Of store or two was
"stilted" in order to keep goods from
suffering water damage. However,
the flood checked in the Gila valley
just at the threshold of several homes
whose occupants were preparing to
move.
Numerous citizens whose land was
inundated took a rather optimistic
view of the matter, pointing out that
as the water remained but a few hours
the flood had proven a generous and
free irrigation of their fields more
than anything else.
The highway leading cast from
Yuma was entirely out from late Sun
day night until Monday, due to the
flood. Near Dome it was said between
four and five feet of water covered
the highway.
The flood drew many persons to
the Colorado's banks on Sunday, the
best points of vantage being the
Southern Pacific railroad bridge and
tracks and the coast to coast highway
bridge.
Watchers near the Cochan early
Sunday observed a spry cottontail
rabbit riding a log as it was raced
by the swirling current down mid
stream. From whence the rabbit
came and just how far he was going
was never answered. He was proving
a fine sailor at that.

Let Us Dress
The Lettuce

A brand-new idea for obtaining
nationwide publicity for the lettuce
that is grown in the Salt River and
Imperial Valleys, and thus increasing
the consumption of that succulerlt,
healthful vegetable, has been orig
mated by d. B. Wiley, manager of the
Maricopa County Farm Bureau. With
the aid Of the Arizona Industrial Con
gress, there are bright prospects that
the Wiley plan will be put over.
In brief, it is to persuade the manu-
facturers of salad dressing to expand
the market for their products by ad-
vertising lettuce.
Inquiries and calculations recently
made by Wiley have disclosed some
surprising facts. One of these is that
the companies which manufacture
dressings, or deal in the materials of
which dressings are concocted, have
benefited far more from the growth
of Americas lettuce habit than have
the producers of lettuce.--Mesa Trib-

President Coolidge tells the senate
why he vetoed the McNary- Fl Haugen
bill in very terse language. He says
in part:
ITO the senate:
"The conditions which senate bill
4808 is designed to remedy have been,
and still are, unsatisfactory in many
cases.
"No one can deny that the prices of
many farm products have been out Of
line with the general price level for
several years. No one could fail to
want every proper step taken to as
sure to agriculture just and secure
place i'm our economic scheme. Reason
able and constructive legislation to
that end would be thoroughly justified
and would have the hearty support Of
all who have the interests Of the ma
tion at heart. The difficulty with this
particular measure is that it is not
framed to aid farmers as whole and
it is, furthermore, calculated to injure
rather than protect the general public
welfare.
ut is automatic that progress is
made through building on the good
foundations that already exist. For
many years indeed, from before the
day Of modern agricultural science
balanced and diversified farming has
been regarded by thoughtful farmers
and scientists as the safeguard Of our
agriculture.
"The bill under consideration throws
this aside as Of no consequence. It
SAYS iii effect that all the agricultural
scientists and all the thinking farm
ers Of the last fifty years are wrong.
that what we ought to do is not to
encourage diversified agriculture, but
instead put a premium on one-crop
farming.
"The measure discriminates def
initely against products which make
up what has been universally c0nsid-
cred program of safe farming. The
bill upholds as ideals of American
farming the men who grow cotton

by Mr.. Musgrave. There were seven
more lions killed during this month
than the month before, December, and
d number of wolves were also killed,
in addition to the usual large number
of coyotes, bobcats and other preda-
tory animals which cause such large
amount of damage to stock on the
ranges.
High honors for the months work
among the department employees is
given by Mr.. Musgrave to Carl Lar
sen, who works out of Young, Ariz.,
and accounted for four lions. Gene

but two Of them were kittens.
Special credit was given j. M. Will
son, who was congratulated for his
work in killing two wolves which had
crossed the international border from
Mexico and had made their way to the
Rincon and Santa Catalina mountains.
"We cannot afford to allow wolves
to drift into our state" Mr.. Musgrave
states, therefore, we feel that every
thing else should be dropped when
wolves show up on the range, until
the wolves are gotten"
