THE PLAN MAY FAIL.
Amalgamated Association Leaders
Discuss Peace Proposal.
ALL DAY SESSION WITHOUT ACTION.
Fear That Proposed Compromise May
Fail Of Ratification Unless Some
Notifications Are Agreedto
by Steel Magnates.

Pittsburgh, Pa, July 81. - Disap-
pointment and apprehension pervade
the air of Pittsburgh because of the
failure of the executive board of the
Amalgmated Association Of Iron,
Steel and Tin Workers to ratify the
peace proposals arranged at the con
ference in, New York last Saturday
between the national officers of the
Amalgamated association and Messrs.
Morgan, Schwab and Gary, represent
ing the United States Steel corpora
ton. When the conference opened
Tuesday it was confidently expected
that an agreement would be reached
In a short time, but after a session
lasting from $3.50 q. m. until $3.50 p.
m. the meeting adjourned without ar
irving at-any-conclusion, SO far as
known, to meet again this morning.
May Not Be Ratified.
The pr~otracted session indicates
that the board is not satisfied with
the provisions Of the compromise
measures, and unless some modifca-
lions are made it's ratification is
doubtful. The opening of union mills
to nonunion workmen is the point on
which it is believed the board hesi-
tates to accept, and the long-distance
telephone between New York and
Pittsburgh was worked frequently to
get a modification Of this clause. The
workmen hold that this would give
the mill owners full opportunity of
crushing the union without a strike
by finding excuses to discharge union
men and then fill their places with
nonunionists. Another rock of dissen-
sion is said to be the retention in
their present jobs of the men who
worked as "strike breakers" at the
various mills during the strike. It is
said that these men have been prom
Used the protection of the manufacture
ers in case of a settlement, and that
they will not concede their dismissal
at the request of the organization.
The workers, it is said, are willing to
declare the mills now working non
union open mills, but strenuously OBJ
ject to having all the mills of the
combine classified as open mills.

Pardon for Mrs. Nation.

Topeka, Kan, July 31.-Mrs. Car
RE Nation, who is serving a sentence
in the county Jail here for joint
smashing, was on Tuesday pardoned
by Gov. Stanley. She would not at
first accept the pardon, because the
fine and costs were not RENTED, but
afterward decided to do so. The
county commissioners will allow her
to pay the fine and costs, amounting
to $3.50, in installments of five dol
lars a month.

Big Strike at San Francisco Called
by Waterfront Federation.
San Francisco, July 31.-The labor
trouble in this city reached a crisis
Tuesday, and as a result maritime
traffic and labor alongshire are al
most at q standstill, and industries
almost totally paralyzed. The order
for a general walkout of the City
Front Federation was made effective
Tuesday morning. The City Front
Federation comprises II unions and
organizations, with a full member
ship of about $4,000. Three thousand
of these men are employed at sea
or in other cities, and the strike or
der does not apply. to them until
they return to San Francisco. Twelve
thousand men obeyed the order Tues
day. The City Front Federation is
composed of the following organiza-
tions: Sailors Union of the Pacific,
four local unions of longshoremen,
marine fremen, Brotherhood of
Transfers, ship and steamboat Join
ers, porters, packers, warehousemen,
ship clerks, pile drivers and bridge
builders, hoisting engineers, steam

bureaus weekly summary OF crop
conditions is as follows:
Intense heat prevailed during the greater
part of the week throughout the central
valleys, but the temperatures during the
last three days were more moderate. Good
rains have fallen over a large part of the
drought area in the Mississippi and upper
Missouri valleys, but drought conditions
have become more serious In the. Ohio val
ley and Tennessee, where the week has
been rainless, except, In ,aSsfew. localities.
In the Atlantic coast districts the weather
conditions have been generally favorable,
except over portions Of the Carolinas and
Virginia, where rain is now needed. The
conditions were also favorable on the Pa
cifc coast. s@Ns5.s H..
Recent rains have improved late corr In
portions Of Nebraska, Kansas. Oklahoma
and Missouri, but the early, crop was prac-
'tically ruined before the rains came. In
Iowa the crop has sustained less injury
than in the aforementioned states, and
the rainfall has been copious Inc well dis
'tributed. In the great corn states east Of
the Mississippi river, except over northern
Illinois, drought and excessive heat have
continued with disastrous effects upon
corn, which Is now in a critical condition.
In Michigan and generally throughout the
middle Atlantic states and New England
the corn crop is in fine condition.

The fanfaronade of the more rabid

Booker I. Washington at the White
House would be amusing if it were not
so supremely silly. Negrophilism, social
equality, miscegenation, "nigger' rule"
shout the unreconciled fire-eaters who
are still living among the memories of a
past generation and have not yet learned
of the fact that the world has moved a
long distance forward and that they are
left hopelessly in the rear of the process

sudden fear of "miscegenation" that so
sadly affiicts the remnants of past and

Great Years for Farmers.

From the Chicago Inter Ocean
The latest reports show that the corn
crop of the United States this year will
be only l,5OO,OOO,OOO bushels, but that it
will exceed in value the crop of any pre-
vious year, except that of last year The
wheat crop represents greater value to
the farmers than any previous crop.
With one exception, the same is true OF
the oat crop, the potato crop, the cotton
crop and the hay crop. Whatever the
volume in bushels or bales or tons, the
value is greater than in any previous
year.
Noting this fact, the Orange Judd
Farmer of october 10 publishes tables to
show farmers profits, not only in staple
crops but in live stock and live stock
produce. Butter, cheese, milk, hogs
and sheep are all selling at high prices,
while horses are improving in value.
One of the published tables shows that
for the last five years cereal crops in the
United States made a value of S6,245,-
100000, as compared with 1922 100000
during the five years of agricultural de-
preston ending with 1896. The annual
average value of COWS, cattle, hogs, and
sheep for the last five years has been
S345. 100000 more than for the previous
five years.
The wheat crop of 1901 is given value
of S473,OOO,OOO: the crop of 1900, 1924 ,0OO,-
coo; of 1889, 1920, 100000; of 1898, 1898
100000: of 1897, S42S, 000,000-a total OF
Sl,93S,0O0,OOO for the five years. The
corn crop of 1901 had a value of S720,-
100000; of 1900, s751 100000; of 1899
1929, 100000; of 1898, S552, 100000; of 1897
SOL 100000 total for the five years OF
S3,153,0O0,0OO
OF the staples, wheat is the only crop
of lower value per bushel now than in
1896, but the production of wheat is Sc
much larger that the total value of the
crop is S13O,000,000 more than in 1896
Corn Is worth per bushel more than
twice what it was in 1896, making our
short crop of l,5O0OO0,0OO bushels this
year worth s232,OOO,OOO more than the
crop of 1896.
Nearly everything that the farmer has
to sell brings from 80 to 60 per cent more
than in 1896. In the last five years oul
exports of farm products have greatly
increased, to the benefit of the farmers
of the West. 1t is very common to refer
to this era of prosperity as of greatest
benefit to manufacturers, but the figures
show that profit has come to the farmers
as WELL This is shown in the farm
mortgages that have been paid, in the
substantial improvement in farm build
ings, in the better equipment of farms
with modern machinery, and in the in
creased value of farm lands in most OF
the central and western states.
