Kansas City, July 14.-No relief
came to-day to break the almost unpre-
cedented dronth in the Southwest.
The day was a repetition Of the past
two weeks, with reports for many
places In western Missouri. Kansas
and the territories of temperatures
over the 100 mark.
AT most places the sun shone mercl-
lessly, with not even n titful cloud to
break Its rays, nor slight breeze. In
Kansas City last night proved more
bearable, breeze from the north al
leviating the conditions, but II day Of
intense heat followed.
Tonight there Is Il prospect of rain
In Oklahoma, but there are no indica-
tions of a change from any other part
Of the Southwest 84 Ns@
With no relief in sight, the fears for
the crops that have been experienced
daily are fast becoming realities. and
the scarcity of water and generally
dry conditions make the element of
fire almost serious one.
What the real damage to corn, the
crop most affected, will be Is problem
atical, but 1t is probably safe to say
that half the crop will be lost.
The supply of water is short In al
most every direction and the shipment
Of cattle and hogs to this market to
save them must continue.
In Kansas City to-day the govern
ment thermometer registered 1O2 and
at Maryville, Kansas, 1O4 was re.
corded, against 100 yesterday. There

SEVENTY.FIVE THOUSAND
STEEL WORKERS ON A STRIKE

In giving general details of the ef
feet of the strike now being ordered,
President Shaffer said that the first
Forder only went to the mills of the
three companies that have been carry
ing on negotiations. 1t was thought
best that this should he the case. The
order for the others to be called out
is to follow in n circular letter sent to
every lodge of the Amalgamated asso-
citation in the country where there are
mills of the United Steel Corporation
in operation. 1t would include the
mills of the Federal Steel Company,
National Steel Company, National
Tube Company, and wherever there
We're organized men employed in non
union plants Of the first mentioned
companies.
He could not give the total number of
men that would be thus rendered idle,
but estimated them at 100000 directly.
1t was his intention to have the strike
as general us possible at the. earliest
possible moment. SO as TO force set
tlement of the dispute the quickest.
As soon as the mills shut down, the
shipment of raw material and coal and
coke for the various plants will cease.
II is said the depression In this respect
is looked upon as threatening more
serious results than the simple clos
Ing OF the mills of the United States
Steel Corporation.

strikingly the backwardness OF Eng

inces, n child must attend school until
he is sixteen years old; In America he

only until he is twelve. The English
