It is especially important this year
that the Georgia farmers should save
as much hay as they can conveniently
handle. The indications are that the
corn and hay crops of the West will
both be very short this year. This
means high prices.
It is too late now for our farmers to
enlargo their corn crop, but there is
ample time for them to save plenty of
hoy. The South buys a great deal of
hay from the West, and now that tho
crop of that section has been cut short
by the dry weather, it is safe to say
that Western hay will bring a fancy
price another year.
Onr farmers will stand very mnch in
their own light if they have to buy any
of this western hay another year.
Grass in Georgia was never better
than it is this year and ]the farmers
can save an abundance of fine hay, if
they will devote the necessary time
and work to it.
They ought to save enough hay for

DEMOCRATIC HEADftUARTERS
The (piostion of Demooratio National
headquarters comes up as au issue iu
political circles. They aro ot present
located iu Ohioago, and their removal
to Washington is suggested as iusur
ing more effective work in the cam
paign of next year, which may turn out
of exceptional interest and importance,
in the election of representatives in
Congress, legislatures that will choose
one-third tho membership of the Uni
ted States Senate, and governors and
other State officers. This election]will
have much to do with the presidential
eleotion two years later. It scorns to
us the tight next year can be conducted
from Washington more effectively than
any other city. Tho location of head
quartors at Chicago has a sectional
look, as if campaign work was intend
ed only in the far West or in tho
western half of the continent. It is in
the populous States of the East, the
Sonth and the Middle West that tho
greater number of congressmen are
elected. In Washington headquarters
will have tho advantage of the conn
sel and presence of Democratic leaders
from all parts of the country. It is
in close touch with tho great cities,
and tho political puluo of the country
beats there in its strongest force.
Pittsiiuko, Jnly 30. —That the great
steel strike would be declared off before
the close of the day was the general im
pression Lere this morning and the feel
ing of exultation manifested among the
manufacturers, as well as the strikers,
was the best indication that both sides
were glad that an amicable agreement
of the differences was in sight.
The hour fixed for the meeting of the
general executive board of the Amalga
mated association was 10 o’clock, but
an hour earlier than that President
Shaffer was conferring with the west
ern members of the board and at 9:40
o’clock the entire committee was called
together. Those present were:
President Shaffer, Secretary John
Williams. Assistant Secretary Tighe,
David Reese, vice president district No.
1; Walter Larkins, vice president dis
trict No. 2 of Wheeling; Charles H. Da
vis, vice president district No. 3 of New
port, Kv.; W. O. Davis, vice president
district No. 4 of South Chicago; Clem
Jarvis, vice prresideut district No. e ot
Anderson, Ind.; John F. Ward, vice
president district No. 7, Youngstown,
O.; F. K. Williams, vice president dis
trict No. 7. Birmingham, Ala.; John
Chappelle, vice president district No. 8,
Castle; John W. Quinn, vice president
district No. 9, Granite City, Ills.; Ellis
Jenkins of Youugstowu, John H. Mor
gan of Cambridge, O., and John Pierce
of Pittsburg, national trustees.
Immediately after the committee had
filed into the room the doors were lock
ed and a sentinel placed outside. Pre
vious to the meetings all efforts to get
an expression from the officials as to its
probable outcome were unsuccessful.
Secretary Williams stated that they had
all been pledged to secrecy, and to say
anything whatever would be a breach
of faith.
Terms Placed Before Committee.
When the coinmittoe assembled Pres
ident Shaffer placed before it the terms
upon which the United States Steel cor
poration will settle tbo strike, ami the
concessions the Amalgamated officials
agreed to make when in conference with
J. Pierpout Morgan last Saturday. A
long discussion then ensued. If the deal
is approved, thero will be a conference
with tbo combine officials later. Little
doubt is entertained, however, that the
action of President Shaffer and Secre
tary Williams will be ratified. The
representatives of steel interests are in
easy communication by telephone and a
conference will at once follow. ,
The combine conferees probably will
be the same as the previous conference,
and will include Veryl Preston, late
president of the American Steel Hoop
company, Vico President William Leeds
of the American Tinplate company;
John Warner, general superintendent
of the American Sheet Steel company,
and L W. Jenks, manager of tho Amer
ican Steel Hoop company.
The important question to bo decided
is what constitutes a union mill* The
Amalgamated people claim a mill 13
union as soon as they have secured a
foothold in it. On the other hand tho
Bteel people argue that a mill is not
union until ot least a majority of tha
skilled workmen hnva joined the Amal
gamated organization. Upon the settle
ment of this question it Is thought will
hinge the settlement of the strike.

The statement that Warner Arms and
a gronp of officials of the companies
forming the United States Steel corpo
ration were to go to Pittsbnrg for a far-
ther discussion with the labor leaders

pends upon its ratification by the Amal
gamated association and subsidiary com
panies of tbe United States Steel corpo
ration. Tbe latter action is, however,
a mere formality.
If the Amalgamated executive board
approves the basis of BOttlement the
strike will be over; if it disapproves, it
will continne in effect and in tbe same
state that existed before Messrs. 9haffer
and Williams met Messrs. Morgan and
