MlLlERS TO COMBINE.
A Meeting in Chicago for tho Purpose Of
Keeping Up Prices

A Meeting in Chicago for tho Purpose Of
Keeping Up Prices.
CHICAGO, May 6.-Flour is to follow
oil, beef and wheat in plunge for
higher prices if certain millers have
their way. The United Miller's associ-
alton was to have held a conference i'll
Chicago. Representatives Of milling
industries in Minneapolis, Milwaukee,
Buffalo and Rochester were to have
been here and an attempt made to limit
production, secure control Of the spring
wheat crop and force prices higher.
Present prices, the millers claim, are
too low for any profit. The meeting
was not held in the hotel p"rlor IL
gagged for it, but it is sad the conven-
tion came Off in the Chicago offices Of
one of the companies Interested.
Doubt IL 1t Can BE Done.
Chicago traders doubt if any combi-
nation having it's head in Minneapolis
could secure sufficient spring wheat to
shut ont from production the mills
which are not in the combine, but an
official or the bourd OF trade said that
wheat would ba Is cents by june /,
and that in itself would advance lipur
to 81 q barrel without - combine. The
organization, ID perfected, would, it is
estimated, directly control 90 mills, in
directly 100 moro and have SOME 2OO,-
600, 900 bushels of spring wheat to keep
out of the hands of the speculators und
II, $50 other mil lls mot i'll the combine.

Strike of Coal Miners Likely to Greatly
Interfere With Business.
CINCINNATI, May 6.-With a general
strike of all the Ohio coal miners as
sured for an indefinite period and indi-
cations for similar condition in West
Virginia soon, the manu- acturers, rail
roads and others here are greatly con-
cerned over the prospects for the sum-
mer. The river is getting so low that
no coal can be gotten from Pennsylva-
MIA, and the outlook is anything but
encouraging. There are some who re-
gard the situation as less encouraging
than last year, when the general strike
prevailed. If the miners and operators
had been able to get together at the
conference at Columbus last week the
prospects would have been good for
this season.

Sioux CITY, Ia., May G.-Order is
coming out Of chaos in the narrow dis
trict Of Sioux county. which las swept
by the tornado on Friday e.ternoon.
Prompt aid has made the survivors OF
the devastated country as comfortable
as possible. Nearly all the dead are
now buried, and none of the injured
now living are thought to be fatally
hurt. The Journals staff representa-
tive, who went all over the ground
swept by the storm, says $1,000 will
cover the property damage, including
houses, barns, outbuildings and fences.
In few places are the crops seriously
damaged, for grain cannot be up for
enough to be killed or lodged by the
wind, and the principal injury in the
fields was by the plastering of mud
which they received. This mud

earth from the surface in several places
