The Central Yellow Pine association, composed of lumber manufacturers and shippers In Mississippi, Alabama and Geor gia, today filed with the Interstate Com' merco commission a request for an Investi gation of alleged Illegal advantages given manufacturers along the Rising Arkansas and Louisiana, west ot the Mississippi river. These Arms own feeding lines run ning from the mills to the main railways. The complaint alleges that: Such shippers are treated aa carriers pro tanto ot the lumber manufactured from the logs billed out and over the said rail reads. I'pon the false theory that they are engaged In the continuous carriage of their lumber, they are allowed and paid a sub stantial portion of the freight from the point of shipment to the point of destina tion, no matter how many lines ot railway participate In the carriage. The so-called tap division amounts to a rebate from the regular and published tariff rates charge able against shippers in general to as much as 3 cents per 1U0 pounds, or $15 per earioau.

RAINS RETARD FARM WORK Temperature Has, However, Beea Fa. vorable fur the Growth of Vegetation. WASHINGTON, April 14 The Weather bureau today Issued the following weekly summary of crop conditions: In the district east of the Rocky moun tain during the week ending April 13, the temperature has been highly favorable for growth of vegetation, but farm work was generally retarded by rains In the Iskes re gions, central valleys and Atlantic coast dis tricts, while complaints of lack of moliturs are received from portions of the central snd west gulf states. In the central and northern Rocky mountain district and on the north Pacific roast the srsaun is very backward and Washington and Oregon have suffered from . cold, wet weather. In California the con dlt Ions have been generally favorable with the exceptions hsve some damage by frost. Corn planting is la progress as fsr north as Ksnsas, southern Missouri, Tennessee and North Carolina, farther south planting Is well advanced and Is completed In some sections. The condition of winter wheat Is gen erally excellent and It has made splendid progress since the first of the month, In the upper Ohio valley, however, the freeze of the fourth and fifth caused some injury. On the whole the conditions of the crop In the winter wheat belt east of the Rock ies Is more promising than for years. For California the outlook Is also promising, but In Oregon and Washington the condi tion of the crop Is less fsvorable, especially In the last named state, where about one third of the acreages will be re-sown. Spring wheat seeding Is nearly completed In Iowa and Nebraska and Is progressing well In South Dakota. None has yet been sown In North Dakota and In northern Minnesota, but In southern Minnesota some has been sown on rolling lands. Oats contlues promising in the southern states and seeding Is nearly completed cr well advanced In ths central valleys where the early sown Is coming up well. By the close of March, which was very mild month, all fruits were unusually far advanced. Tho reports now Indicate that many varieties of fruit have suffered severely, more particularly peaches. In California while some damage hss been done by frost, the outlook is favorable. On the north Paciflo coast the season Is so backward that fruit has not been exposed to Injury.

The American Federation of Labor was denounced as an organization which "breeds boycotters, plcketers and socialists and the source from whence proceeds such noxious emanations as the eight-hour and antl-consplracy bills." The speaker de nounced conciliation as a myth and arbt tratlon as a failure, holding that there can be no conciliation or arbitration when a gun Is pointed at the head ot employers and they are forced to arbitrate whether they ill or not.

Employers to, Organise Men After the luncheon recess Hamilton Car- hart of Michigan, national treasurer, re ported a aattsfaetory (field for the treasury. C. W. Post of Battle Creek, Mich., origina tor ot the Post check system, delivered an address on "The tyranny of trades unions He said In part: I am here ' to plead the cause of the nite stave or today. He mar De partly enslaved by a combination of circum stances taken advantage of by selfish man ufacturers although practically every em ploye is as tree as air to go ana come at his pleasure and sell his Tabor where he likes, but the slave of a tyrannous labor union is in trutn ana in iact, more sujeui than the negro slave oi tne past. There mav have been some brutal and tyrannous slave owners In the south, but I ask vou if ever in all the history of negro slavery did there exist such a condition of oppression, oi cruelty to men, women anu children, as now ex'sts under the acts ot desperate members of labor unions. In the gradual solution of the wage ques tion and the establishment of right tn both parties, labor unions L-ecame a necessity In order to curb the sel lshness and lnjus tire of some manufacturers, but such vlo lent and desperate excesses have crept into the operation of labor unions that common safety demands a new union, eliminating tne raise or tne oia. I am decidedly In favor of a union that will help the people keep In work and se cure the highest wages the business will stand. This body should proceed at once to the work of organization, either by com mit tea nr in irnneral session: select officers and Becure a general manager of high grade and capable of earning a gooa sisea suiary. Paid delegates should be sent broadcast to the labor centers, there to organise local unions, under the employer and employer's union. These local organisations would draw to themselves the best workmen In th land, who are now forced too often. from fear and by violence, to give over their liberty to the manipulation ana dl reotion of noisy, turbulent men. Numerous resolutions were Introduced and referred to committee without debate. among them being the following: Endorsing the organization of nonunion workmen and pledging the association to their support; pledging the support and as slstance of members to any member under union boycott; providing for an association bureau ot labor to Investigate and attempt to adjust the labor troubles of members and to endeavor to organize and promote a nonunion worklngman's association to be known as . the "Worklngmsn's Liberty Union," urging tariff revision on general lines; favoring measures to increase the elasticity ot the currency. At tomorrow's session the delegates will be addressed by Csrroll D. Wright ot Washington and Mayor Samuel M. Jones of Toledo. THE TIME WILL COME When the Advice of this Omaha Rss ident Will Help You.

SAN JUAN, Torto Rico, April 14. The grand Jury is Investigating the so-rslled smuggling esses in which officers ot the United States navy and other prominent men are Involved, notwithstanding ths in structions which It Is stated District At torney Pettingill has received from the de partment of Justice at Washington, not to present Information to the grand Jury this term. The press and the natives hsve practically demanded an Investigation, In asmuch as Isst term a native merchant, named Rlcardo Amado was sentenced to a year's imprisonment and fined $r00 for having contraband liquor in his possession. This afternoon the grand Jury came Into court and asked for Information. The fore man said: It has come to our knnwlerien that cer tain cases of smuggling have occurred. We nave asaea tne district attorney about tne matter and he refused to bring up the matter, alleging that he had received cer tain instructions. We now ask the Judge ir we nave M rivnr tn Information In anllA of the district attorney's refusal. Judge Holt had prepared a written charge, in part as follows: When you were empanelled at the be ginning of the term you swore that you would make a diligent inquiry Into, and a true presentment make, of such matters given to you or which might otherwise come to your knowledge touching viola tions of the statutes of the United States and that you would make no presentment through envy, hatred, favor, affection or reward or through hope thereof. You could not. If you desired, escape from the obligations of your oath by heeding the in structions oi any one. The honored president of the United States could pardon but he could not in terfere. If you believe any one has given Instructions tending to prevent the fullest Investigation Into the commission of a crime in the United States and the return ot an Indictment If the evidence so war rants, then you should be Inspired by an additional determination to do your duty. The court has knowledge ot the Instruc tions to wnicn tne district attorney al ludes. It is proper to say that it is my opinion that there has been no Intention of encroaching upon your sworn duty. The testimony submitted last December regarding the smuggling cases pointed to dozen prominent officials of the navy, army and insular government and citizens being Implicated In the charges. HEADING OFF FALSE RUMORS Soldiers' Home Board Takes Decided Stand Aaalnst False Stories by Inmates. HOT SPRINGS, S. D.. April 14. (Special.)

This story caused an Indignation meeting ot the members to be held, at which It Is said the board was roundly denounced and the peace and order of the Institution was sorely Interrupted. President Sbanafelt got the boys together In the chapel and gave them a good, fath erly talk and told them the story was groundless and that the board had never thought ot such a thing, and said that here after any member who should be found guilty of aiding or abetting in the circula tion ot false rumors about the management of the home would be promptly discharged from the home. The board then notified the Hill City vet eran that they wanted him to appear forth with to answer the charges of his circulat ing false reports, and that it he failed to respond to their call he would be promptly discharged. He failed to come as requested and his nsme was erased from the roll as dishonorably discharged," while another who helped circulate the story, but was not a member at the time, was blacklisted and cannot gain admission hereafter. The board says It Is Just such conduct as that that has caused them so much trouble and that hereafter they will not harbor such med dlesome men It the know It.
