iBGYSr. LOUIS, Miss, May !, lsss.-After
three months sojourn in the South i feel
watfantedin expressing some opinions in
regard TO It's material, social aud political
condition. As general thing l do not
find the situation to differ materially from
my expectations before leaving home,
founded as they were upon good deal Of
reading, many conversations withstraselers
and citizens Of the South, and
also occasional visits to this re-
gion since the war. Some ten years
ago Edward King wrote series otarticles
for one Of the Northern msgazines under
the caption Of the "New South" in which
he had much to say ofthe naturalresources
aud OF the poten,ialities and probabilities
Of their outcome under the new departure
made necessary and practicable by the re-
suits OF the war. Mr.. King was enthusias
tic as to the future Of the "Sew South"
and wrote in thai, vein. While do not
thinkheexaggerated the outlook OF the then
future, yet be was induced perhaps 10 an
ticipate much that he desired 10 see take
place. am as confident as he was Of the
future Of this country. 1t certainly is Q
land OF great resources, and l am coRfdent
that some day it will be different country
from what It now is. Agradual but per-
cepIible change Is in progress for the bet
ter, but II would be hazardous to say that
in The near future great revolution will
have taken place.

PITTSBURGH, May 6.-Last night the var
ious Amalgamated lodges in the district
took the result OF the last conference under
adyisement, but the result OF their deliber-
atoms could not be learned. A whisper
that the manufacturers had moved COM
promise and upon splitting the difference

grounds could be found for the rumor. A
workman whois engaged in one Of Pitts.
burgh's largest mills expressed the follow.
ing opinion during talk upon the situa
ton last evening. ''Ii a strike occurs this
year it may prove disastrous to the associa.
ton for this reason: In some OF
the mills it seems that clique
forms to control the best positions.
This combination is helped along
by means, OF the Amalgamated Association
which, while 1t does not encourage such
things, makes them easy to accomplish.
In these mills there are q number OF young
men, who, although they are capable Of Gil

workers sometimes form the nuclues oil a

the conditions have stated do not exist
in all the mills, but inquiry will show that
they have existed In those mills that have

people with new ideas is needed. The best

CHICAGO May 6.-President Potter, OF the
North Chicago Rolling Mill Company, said
tonight in regard to the threatened strike
Of iron-workers: 81 am free to say am
aaxions in regard to the future. The sit.
uation is grave one, and has not been so
mixed before for twenty years. We can't
iron to day without loss,
There has got 10 be a reduction in the cost
OF making iron and steel. / don't see,
either, how laborers can stand reduction
with high price rents, living and
fuel. one thing bringing about the
causes is corners in food made
BY the Boards OF Trades. am
apprehensive oil the results Of all this, and
there is more anxiety in certain quarters
than people dare 10 imagine. In the mat.
ter OF steel rails the government has virtu-
ally made price, and live getabove that,
English labor and material will leone into
competition. There must be reduction
in the price OF labor TO enable us to sell
without loss. This means the working
classes shall live poorer. 1t is q sad state
OF affairs; eur laborers' interests are our
interests and TO lower their level is mat.
ter Of serious consideration. People little
dream wnat asking laborers to live cheaper
may lead to. These people have families
to support and want to work. There are
now vast numbers idle in Chicago
and the situation is the same in
other large cities. People say TO
them to 60 10 Dakota or EN-.
igrate <and go tofarning, but what have
they got to 10 witk? what will they live
with when they get there? Youmust first
give them means 10 get there and then sus-
tain themselves afterward. l think It
wrong to talk OF a strike; there ought to be
srbitrators for the interests Of both sides.
Let both sides state their case and abide
by the decision, finding some kind oil a go.
luton, ior strikes in this country are not

outlook is bad, indeed. We may have
