The general remark, consequent
upon the result Of threshing, Is
"crops are better than they might
have been"-and it may be said with
equal reasonableness: ''poorer than
they might have been.n There is a
great variation in the yield and quail
ity Of small grains on different farms.
Some farmers report a good yield,
some poor yield. 1t had been gener-

wheat raised here this year but buy

TAMPA LABOR TROUBLES
REPORT OF UNITED STATES DIS
TRICT ATTORNEY STRIPPING.
He Found the Situation Critical, but
Could Not Learn Who DepOrt-
ed the Strike Leaders.

TAMPA, Fla, Oct. 14.-United States Dis
trict Attorney ]. n. Stripping, who has
been here several days investigating the la
Dor troubles, especially the recent deporta-
ton of Resistencia strike leaders, with a
view of adjusting the difficulties, made his
report TO the attorney-general at Wash
ington to-day. He describes in detail the
trouble between the striking cigarmakers
and the manufacturers, and declares ''the
gravity of the situation can scarcely be
overstated
The report reads: Upon my arrival at
Tampa 1 met a committee and requested its
cooperation in ferreting out any violations
of the laws of the United States. 1t was
generally admitted that a number of the
most prominent agitators of the strike had
been compelled to leave Tampa. 1t was
also represented to me that the strikers
had themselves compelled a number of
their own members to leave on account of
the influence they were welding in favor
of cessation of the strike; but | was un-
able to obtain any evidence TO identify the
individuals who committed these acts of
lawlessness. l conferred freely with men,
hers of the board of trade. with represen-
tative citizens and with the executive COM
mittee of the ReSiStencla Union, which is
conducting the strike, but was unable TO
obtain any evidence of violations of laws OF
the United States.
The district attorney then deals with the
difficulties between the employers and the
men. declaring that strikes have been fire.
Quently ordered from frivolous causes,
and charging the purpose of the Resistencia
Union seemed to be not only to control
manufacturing circles in Tampa. but to
control every line of business. The policy
of the union was so oppressive and had
gone TO such an extent until finally, when
the strike was declared, 1t appears that al
most every man not connected with the
union rose up. declaring that the work of
the Resistencia had already gone too far"
The district attorney concludes: ''Unim-
portant concessions could be made on either
side which. in my opinion, would result in
no disadvantage. that would open the way
10 an early adjustment but the strained
relations have reached such a high tension
that both sides sickle over making any
approach. for fear il would be regarded a

HERR MOST SENTENCED
GIVEN ONE YEAR IN PRISON FOR
PRINTING A sEDITIOUs ARTICLE.
Severely Scored by Judge HinsdaIe,
Who Denounced the Anarchist
Doctrine of AssassinatiOn.

Anarchist, was sentenced to one year in the
penitentiary to-day i'm the Court of Special
Sessions. for publishing in his paper the
Freiheit an alleged seditiOus article, on the
day following the shooting of the late Pres
ident Mckinley.
The article in question was entitled "Mur-
Ger against Murder" In his defense Most
claimed that the paper containing the ar
ticle was printed and ready for distribu-
tion before the President was shot. Also
that it was a quotation from an article
published fifty years ago and republished
by him fifteen years ago.
After imposing the sentence Judge Hins-
dale read the opinion of the court, in which
he said: "It is no answer to the evil and
criminal nature of this article to claim that
ii was written for the purpose of destroy
ing crowned heads. 1t inculcates and en-
forces the idea that murder is the proper
remedy to be applied against rulers. The
fact that it was published fifty years ago
