Business men have tried in vain to
bring sufficient influence to bear upon the
opposing leaders in the steel strike to
effect a settlement. It is clear that no
compromise is thought of now. The steel
corporation announces that it will grant
no concessions, and the strikers hope
fully say that they will win in the end.
If each side lives up to it's word a long
contest may be expected. But the in
terests at stake are so vast that disap-
pointment will be felt if some of the
great financial interests Of the country
are not strong enough to restore har-
mony between labor and the largest ag-
gregation of capital in the world.
Anxiety is caused to more people by
the unsatisfactory outlook for corn. Rail
road men in the West insist that the
traffic OF the roads is so diversified that
they will not suffer materially from the
loss of the corn, but individual COM
munities will. Fortunately the crops
have been abundant for so long that
farmers have been able to save against
such an experience as this The deStruc-
ton of the corn and oats crops will de-
crease somewhat the purchasing power
of the West. A few merchants have hes
itated on this account to commit them
selves to large orders, but the great ma
iority have not shown timidity.
Labor disturbances other than in the
steel plants are no longer possibilities for
trouble. The passing of the machinists
strike will be followed events Indicate,
bv an end of the strike of the stationary
engineers in the anthracite coal mines.
Both stock and grain exchanges were
active during the week. Wheat was
higher in the expectation of a wide mar
ket. The net advance in corn, occasion
ed by the continued drought and bullish
adyices from the Southwest was cents.
Stocks have been sensitive to the three
factors OF crop conditions, the steel
strike, and the rounding out of the com
munity of interest principle III the North
west by the nomination of a harmony
hoard in the Northern Pacific Road. Two
roads yet remain to be dealt with be-
fore absolute community OF interest Will
prevail in that quarter.
Eagle River review. [volume] (Eagle River, Wis.) 1890-1927, 1901-07-27

stantly until o'clock, when it recorded
102 degrees. At that hour the lake breeze
appeared on the scene and proceeded to
the performance Of it's professional du-
ties. The temperature fell in an hour
to 81 degrees and the city enjoyed COM
parative comfort. Had the breeze con-
tinued the rest Of the day would have
been pleasantly cool, but between 3 and
4 o'clock, the breeze again shifted and
the thermometer straightway rose until
at 5 o'clock it reached 103. 1t is the
lake breeze-and that alone, apparently
which makes Chicago's summer climate
so much more tolerable than that of the
other inland cities of the Middle West.
Were it not for the lake, the great heat
wave everything the entire country would
rest upon Chicago just as oppressiyely as
it does upon the suffering residents Of
Kansas and Missouri.
Practically the entire country was COW
cred by the hot wave Sunday, except the
immediate Pacific coast, and in the
States of Iowa, Missouri, and Illinois,
nearly all previous high records were ex-
ceeded. The maximum temperature line
Of 100 degrees encircles the entire corn
belt. At Davenport and Dubuque, Iowa,
and at Spring field, ILL.,, the maximum
temperatures of JOG degrees were two
degrees above the highest previous rec
ord, while at st. Louis the maximum Of
1O6 degrees has been equaled but once
before, on Aug. u, 1881.
In the States of Iowa, Missouri and
Kansas the duration of the present heat
ed term is without precedent, there hav-
ing been practically no interruption to
temperature Of 90 degrees or over for a
period of thirty-four days. On eighteen
days of this period the maximum tenn
perature at Kansas City was 100 degrees
or more.
Fatal heat prostrations are reported
from the following places: Omaha, B;
Kansas City, Kas., 4; Springfield, ILL.,, l;
Lincoln, Neb., 3; Louisville, KY, 3;
Bowling Green, Ky, 1; st. Louis, Mo-,
2.
At indianapolis, Ind, it was 40 de-
grees on the drill ground of the Indiana
National Guard, in camp at the State
fair grounds. During brigade drill Sun
day evening fifteen men fell from the
heat and were carried from the field by
the ambulance corps.
