[from the New Orleans correspondent] The days of high salaries in minor leagues are past. It has taken the minors a long time to realize that they cannot pay the salaries they have been paying and live, but most of them understand it fully now and are disposed to discuss plans for relief. I strongly advocate a convention of all the minor leagues, to be held early in the fall, before the close of the present season, so that whatever remedies are decided upon can be used in the signing of contracts immediately at the close of the present season for next year. I talked with Sam Morton in Chicago a short time ago on the subject of the convention of minor leagues the coming all, and he agreed that such a thing was necessary and promised to take an active part in bringing about such a meeting.
