Following n "get together meeting

tho oKrntivo.s and' mill owners had
practically set lied ia compromise
agreement by whiiih both factions
make concessions. TXc plan gives the
poorest paid uoriTulp'iibstnutial in
creases while the advance lo the
skilled workers is slight- The agree
ment, it was learned, al"o provides
for u modified system of operating
the mills to cover the demands of the
strikers that the ".speed up" stent
bo abolished.
It is generally ituderstnod that both
the operator nnd operatives nro en
tirely satisfied with the main points
of the ugrccment and it i- probable
that the strike may he called off by
Tuesday.

ti'i'ial republican convention.
"La Follctte and I," said Lonroot,
"differed in regard to certain mat
tors, which it is unnooo.ssury to, dis
cuss now. I have been clone to La
Follctte for years. If 1 were sent to
tho national convention many persons
would regard mo a his spokesman.
It would be unfair to him under the
circumstances for mo to take a posi
tion' in tho convention which ho is
not in accord. It will relieve Senator
La Follctte and myself of embarrass
ment if I tint not a candidate. 1
expect to speak for u La Follctte

if the campaign committee demands
it as necessary."

"When I left California a week ngo
prospects for the 1012 fruit crop
were very dark, but during the past
week a rain storm has so brightened
the outlook that a fair crop is almost
certain to be ItnrveMcd," states
Frank H. MeKevitt, manager of .the
California Fruit Distributors, who
handle the fruit of Central and Nor
then California, who arrived in Mud-
ford Friday morning for a look over
the Hogue river valley.
"Wo need more moisture during the
growing season," continued Mr. Me
Kevitt," ami according to past years
wo can count on this. However the
nntiiro of the storms, their severity
and duration will effect the crop
bomewhat.
"California will not ship its usual
pear crop. This much is certain, bat
according to advices, the outlook is
far more encouraging."
Mr MeKevitt is being shown over
the valley today by W. 11. Stewart.
He is the guest of K. M. McKeany,

SPECIAL TRAIN, CANTON, Ohio,
March 8. On 1iis way to Toledo
where he will sjeak tonight, President
Taft today addressed an audience of
more than 1,000 persons at Alliance,
Ohio. He said ia part:
"Assuming that everyone h hey
ing the law, it is prosperity and busi-
Jnoss we should look to. Affected
agitation creating a, lack of confi
dence among tho.se having capital in
vested is not for the people's good.
Therefore what we want is that quiet
confidence that makes everyone look
after his own business and put ns
much money into it as ho can. Then
jobs will be many, wages will rise, we
will all have money to buy shoos for
our children and those liking comfort
can enjov it. It is wise that we should
not cultivate hostility between classes
and between persons in a similar sit
uation; that we should have confi
donee in each other because we nre
all in the same boat."
