iRL HICKS PREDICTION.
Noted Weather Prophet Predicts Storms
for August.

Afey lrl Hicks, the noted weather
prop het. makes the following pre-
dictio. ms for August:
Threatening stormy weather NAV
be eSpec ted in many quarters as Au-
gust comes in. As the moon does
not pass over the equator until the
Sd and 50 Ets perigee does not fall I'M
til after the 9th chances are lessened
for dangerous gulf storms.
A season o threatening storm con-
ditions may hover over that region
until after the Vulcan storm period
central ON the 9Th and extending to
the 9th
From about Tuesday. the 9Th. to
Friday, the 9th look in all probable
ity for very warm wave to culmi-
nate in thunderstorms. with heavy
hail and some very high winds Fol-
lowing these storms no one need be
surprised at a sudden and very
marked fall in the temperature.
There should certainly be an abate-
ment of summer heat for few DAYS,
between the Vulcan period and the
reaeiionary disturbances central on
the 18th and 18th.
On and touching the 18th. 18th,
10Th and goth, many severe summer
storms may be apprehended in various
parts OF the interior, and on the lakes
and sea coasts.
On and touching the oath and 25th
reaetionary storm conditions will de-
velop, causing rise of temperature,
falling barometer, and heavy buster
ing thunderstorms in paths progress
sive from west to east.
The regular Vulcan storm period is
central on the 30th. extending from
the 2sth to September I.

INTERNAL REVENUE RULING.
YeriHes Lays Down Law on Grain
Sold to Arrive

WASHINGTON, Aug. 4.-Commissioner
Yerkes, of the internal revenue bureau,
mas received letter from grain com-
pany in the Northwest asking whether
the memoranda of sales of farmers prod
ucts on an exchange or board of trGde
are exempt from tax by the amendment
10 paragraph 2 of Schedule A of the
amended war revenue act of March 2
4SOI. The writer assumes that it never
was the intention Of the law that farm
ers ana others selling actual grain should
pay tax, and that it applies only to
those who sell futures" without ever
intending their delivery. The writer re-
Iers especially to sales of grain ito ar
rive and states that he is constantly
making sales for farmers on the Du-
luth Board of Trade which he thinks
shouId be exempt from tax In reply the
commissioner rules that grain sold on a
BOARD OF trade or exchange to arrive"
may De exempt from tax if at the time
OF the sale the grain is on a vessel. boat
or car and in actual course of transpor-
Iatlon but if the sale is made before the
gram has been shipped. or if the grain

ehlptlon does not apply. In order to de-
termlne the fact whether merchandise

LONDON, Aug. A number of Of

held office for about twenty years. said
to a representative of the Associated
Press:
Liberia is progressing well. Thanks
to the firm stand of the United States
and Great Britain we are untroubled
with European aggression, though, to
tell the truth, we are rather afraid Of
Germany, as she is so patiently on the
lookout fer colonies. However, l do
not think she will get a chance to aP-

England. A direct service would OBJ
viate any miscarriage Of profits. Re-
turn freights are still scarce but with
the rapid Development Of The countrys
mining interest, this difficulty should
shortly be overcome, while rubber is al
ways plentiful. There is gold in Lii
IBERIA and a company has already been
formed to develop the mines.
Financially Liberia is progre gsing.
One hundred thousand pounds would
wipe out all her debts. Considering that
we have not received any financial as
sistance, except from American colonial
ton, Liberia compares favorably with
any West African colony.
I'VE are getting little negro imml-
grafton from the United States. In

Later there will be plenty of opportunity
for those cognizant of mining matters.
If American negroes would take up this

fact that we have no organized police

FEDERATION ASKED FOR HELP.
Officials of Association Make Trip to
Washington.

WASHINGTON, Aug president
Shaffer and other members of the eXecu-
tive board of the Amalgamated~ Associa-
tion of Iron and Steel Workers have been
sounding the American Federation Of
Labor as to the extent the latter body
can be depended upon in supporting the
great steel strike now under way.
With this object in view, President
Shaffer, Secretary Williams, B. I. Davis,
M. F. Tighe and John Chappelle came to
Washington after the announcement in
New York of the failure to reach an
agreement with the United States steel
officials They reached the city late last
night and registered at one of the down.
town hotels. Their presence in the city
was known to only few people. They
left for Pittsburg about II o'clock this
morning. While here the committee had
two extended interviews with General
Secretary Frank Morrison, the principal
officer of the American Federation of La
Dor now in this city, President Gompers
being away for a. few days visit to the
North.
Mr. Morrison was exceedingly 10th to
discuss the object of the committees
visit He would not say specifically to
what extent the federation would aid the
Amalgamated association. He confined
himself to the general statement that the
committee had come to Washington for
a conference WIN CE6 OIlcldlS oil the
American Federation Of Labor as to the
hest methods of procedure in carrying
on the strike He had talked with each
member of the committee and each had
expressed himself as absolutely certain
that the association would be victorious
The AmaIgamated association, Mr.. Nor
rison said, was an affiliated body with
the federation, and as such was entitled
to the cooperation and aid of the great
er body in conducting the strike move
ment to an effective and successful issue
Mr.. Morrison expressed himself as con-
fident of the ultimate victory of the steel
workers and felt certain that the Fedora
ton of Labor would give them all the
aid in its power He was asked specifi-
cally whether orders would be issued for
an extension of the strike in affiliated
branches Of labor and regarding the mat
ter Of financial assistance to the steel
strikers, but declined to answer the ques-
tons The members OF the general coun-
Gil of the Federation of Labor are with
in reasonable distance of Washington
and if any decisive action is to be taken
by the federation in the matter of CO.
operative action in aiding the steel strik-
ers, it is probable a meeting of the
council will be called for that purpose
President Gompers is expected to return
TO Washington early in the week, prob
ably tomorrow.

General Strike Order Likely to AZ
feet Mills There
MILWAUKEE, Wis, Aug. 4-'IR
President Shelter carries out his publish
ed intention of ordering a general strike
it will mean the absolute annihilation of
the Amalgamated association and a sec
ond Homestead affair, said Supt. George
L. Refs, Of the Illinois Steel company, to-
night.
Supt. Refs made this statement in an
swer to question as to what the re-
suit would be should the president of the
Amalgamated Association of Iron, Steel
and Tin Workers order a strike in all
the mills controlled by the United States
Steel corporation
LAS to whether or not strike will be
ordered in our mills / cannot say" Mr.
Refs continued The men who are en-
ployed by the Illinois Steel company are
working under contract and an agree
ment which has been in force fourteen
years, and l have never known the as
ISOLATION to violate a contract If the
men in our mill are ordered out, how
ever, | have no doubt they will obey the
order.
ut seems to me a mistaken policy to
throw thousands of men out of work
merely on matter of ointment, and
this is all that the present strike amounts
to in my opinion The course of Presi-
dent Shaffer is calculated to wreck his
organization, and L believe he has made
a great mistake in adopting his present
policy
Four thousand men are employed in
the Bay View Plant of the Illinois Steel
company. Not a word of strike order has
been received here, but one is expected.
