CASA CRANDE MAN
PRESENTS PLAN ON
COTTON MARKET

C. F. Dannelley, promi-
nent Casa Grande cotton
grower. has forwarded to
various cot ton handling
agencies in the state a plan
for stabilizing cotton prices,
to a point where the indus
try may hope to realize
something of its real worth
this fall. The Dannelley
plan calls for the organiza-
tino of a cooperative as
sociation which with finance
companies and banks would
furnish cotton growers with
forms of agreement for the
handling of this years crop
and the 1882 paintings.
Under the plan the grow
er would agree to the fol-
towing provisions:
THAT each grower agree
to cut next years 1882
acreage so per cent.
THAT he receive rs per
cent or more of the market
price of his this years crop
upon delivery of it to some
approved warehouse.
THAT the grower has pri-
yilege of selling the crop at
any time thereafter, pro-
yided the proceeds shall
cover the advanced money
and the extra proceeds shall
be retained by the associa-
tion until the grower has
given sufficient proof of his
reduction of acreage; then
the balance, after operative
charges of the association
that may have been charged
against the cotton, have been
deducted. If the grower
has not sold his cotton by
the time this settlement is
due, the association shall sell
at the last market day price
unless otherwise notified or
agreed.
That the grower who is
unable to furnish sufficient
proof of his reduction in
acreage shall have the bal
ance of the proceeds due
him from the association
forfeited to the association
TO be divided among the
members who have complied
with their contract.
THAT if a so or 95 per
cent sign-up cannot be OBJ
tanned the contracts enter
ed into by the growers shall
be considered void.
THAT the financing be
done either by the farm
board or by the various fin
ance companies and banks
so operating.

Ryland Peyton, colored, Casualty
Hospital ambulance driver, was
found guilty of violating three
traffic ordinances by Judge John

WAGE SCALE
< At SCHOOL
Major Robb Asks Rose Firm
For Data; Comparative Lists
Show Variance in Pay Code

Demand was made of the W.
P. Rose Construction Company
today for a copy of the wage
scale paid to workers on the ad-
dition to the Woodbridge School,
Carlton and Central Avenues
Northeast, by Assistant Engineer
Commissioner H. L. Robb.
Major Robb decided upon the
action when he discovered that
a copy of the wage scale of the
company was not on file in his
office.
A few days ago it was reported
to Major Robb that workmen on
the school addition had threat
ened to suspend work when
rumors of wage cut were circu.
lated. The move was averted.
Must Keep to Code
Unless there is an official COM
plant of the insufficiency Of
wages, Major Robb will not take
the matter up with the Depart
ment of Labor.
The Bacon.Davis law provides
that the prevailing" wage scale
shall be paid upon public building
projects and a clause of the Rose
COmpany's contract with the Dis
trict on the school addition Is
based on this law.
Officials of the Rose Company
today refused to release to news
papermen copies OF their wage
scale.
However. a comparative table
OF union and non-union wages on
public buildings may be seen from
two other projects. The Rose
Company job is a non-union one.

ployes non-union labor in the erec-
ton of stable and barn at Blue
Plains while the T. T. Taylor
Company is employing union Ia
Dor on construction of the Murch

BILLYPETROLLE AND KING TO
RECEIVE PURSES FOR BATTLE
They May Not Fight in Madi.
son Square Again Unless
Against Each Other

New York, March l4.-(ReBtlly
Petrolle and Kig Tut will be paid fol
their recent New York fight, the ath-
letic commission Of that state has de-
cided.
Purses Of the Duluth lightweight
and Tut of Minneapolis were ordered
paid Friday by the commission as II
closed its investigation of the four
round knockout of the NH City bat
tier, which caused the sift Of charges
Of taking.
From sources close to the ccmmis-
sion, 1t was learned Petrolle and Tut
although they have not been suspend
ed here, are not likely to fight again
in New York state unless paired
against each other and with no holds
barred. Since the investigation was
launched Tut, who claimed an attack
of appendicitis the night of the Petrolle
match lowered his efficiency, has had
the ailing appendix removed.
James A. Farley, chairman Of the
commission said the action Of the
commisson refusing to sanction Pc
trolle as an opponent for Tony Can
zoneri. lightweight champion. in q
title match In the Garden March "a,
had nothing to do with the situation.
Tut and Petrolle's pay for their
bout was withheld after Tut,s knock
out by Petrolle. Reports of a betting
coup, Tut's 34-second knockout OF
Petrolle In previous match, rumors
before -hand that the match was 'in
the bag" and Tut's lacka -daisical ef-
forts all tended to throw suspicion on
the bout.
The commission, apparently certain
all was not well with the match.
found trouble mastering proof to that
effect, and the investigation was
closed with the bare announcement
the boys would be paid their wages.
Farley refused to discuss the matter
further,
