Hot, hotter, hottest and still heat
ing under the scourge of blazing and
pitiess sun, throughout what is known
as the Central West, from Iowa and
Lake Michigan to Texas yesterday
while the people OF Missouri were pray
ing for rain, the heat was MS great or
greater than ever before known in
some towns i'll that and other states
The dry, hot spell has now lasted for
80 days in many localities, breaking
all records. Some local showers fell
last week, refreshing the burning
crops and affording temporary relief
over limited areas; but over large
portion OF several states there has been
no respite, no pity in the scorching
sun and willing, sitting atmosphere.
Fortunately the Winner wheat was
harvested before this spell came on,
but other crops, chief OF which is corn,
must necessarily be largely failure.
This unusual If not unprecedented
drouth will show up in big figures, or
the lack Of them, in the agricultural
and export reports for the year.

Chicago Machinists Prepare an
Agreement for Signature
Of Employers.
Unless Signed by 10 O'Clock
Tomorrow All Union Men
Will Quit.
Machinists Utilizing Holiday 10
Organize and Perfect Strike
Arrangements.

Chicago, May 30.-District No. s, In
ternational Association of Machinists.
took further steps today to avert the
strike which the international commit
tee last night ordered for tomorrow.
President Mellican, acting with Busi-
ness Agent Roderick. prepared an
agreement with the manufacturers Of
Chicago to be presented to the individ-
ual employees today and tomorrow
morning. This agreements calls for an
increase of 121s per cen. over the wages
of May 20, nine hour day and time
and half for overtime up to six hours
and double time for time exceeding six
hours more than a nine hour day and
double time for Sundays and holidays.
| If the agreement is not signed by 10
o'clock tomorrow every machinist will
be ordered to strike.
| Chicago, May 3O.-If today was not
holiday the machinsts' strike would be
in full blast before the manufacturers
had eaten their morning meal, said Bus
mess Agent Roderick. of the Interna-
tional Association of Machinists. 1t Is
regarded as an advantage by the union
men that they have holiday preceding
the strike, as all workmen can be round-
ed up in the interval of one day 80 that
the tie-up of the local machine shops
will be made practically complete to-
morrow morning.
According TO calculations of the union
strike leader, Roderick. about 1000 ma
chinists will be involved at the start in
the general walk-out. This is Only half
the number of union machinists in Chi
cago and vicinity. 1t is claimed by Rod
erick and others of the unions execu-
tive board that the reason the other q
1000 will not be affected is because their
employers have either signed the union
Iscale of wages already or expressed
4 their willingness to sign.
Strike settlement Approved.
Toronto, May 30.-The executive board
|of the International Machinists' Associ-
Iation has approved the settlement of
the strike on the Wabash railway sys-
