POINTS ON THE COTTON MARKET
Expectation Of a Ten Million Bale
Crop Not Justified.

take this means Of answering hun
dreds of telegraphic inquiries reach
ing me from all over the country in
regard to the cotton market. 1t Is Inn
possible for me to reply to them indt-
vidually. The report of the United
States government, issued today, in re-
gard to the cotton crop indicates a
condition of "a, which is the lowest on
record for September. 1t is and has
been confirmed and foreshadowed by
all other reports, public and private,
for the past three weeks. The most
optimistic construction that It Is pos
sible to put upon the government re-
port does not Justify the expectation of
a crop of ten million bales of Amer
lean cotton. The world consumed dur
Ing the year just ended eleven million
bales Of American growth, and In or
der to make this supply suffice, re-
serves everywhere are practically ex-
hausted for the coming season. The
world will require, conservatively esti-
mated, about 11,250.000 bales of Amer
lean cotton.
There is, then, theoretical dehcien-
cy between the maximum supply and
the minimum demand of at least l.
100000 bales in actual deficiency, which
is commercially unthinkable. The
price must go to a figure that will
check consumption. This price is by
no means reached as yet. America has
practical monopoly of cotton produc-
ton. Peace reigns universally through
out the world. Industrial and COM
mercial enterprise Is unchecked and
expanding. Next to food stuffs cotton
is the most important and necessary
staple consumed by civilized society.
I think 1t entirely probable that before
any effect upon consumption Is appar-
ent cotton will be selling at 10 cents a
pound In the South, and doubt II tbYA
advance will stop there. If produce l.
Of the article are wise they will de-
mand and obtain that figure.

REFUSES TO BURY
HIS DAUGHTER
Neither Dead Girls Father Nor City Of
Winona VIII Stand the Funeral
Expenses.

Special to The Globe.
2 wINONA, Mimi, Sept. 3.-Mary Ger
ney, the six-year-old daughter of Jo-
seph Cerney, is lying dead in an un-
dertaking establishment In this city,
and although she has been dead sew
real days, no one can be found who
will stand the expense of the burial.
The girls father is well known stone
cutter and granite dealer in this city
and can well afford to stand the ex-
pense of the burial but he fatty re-
fused to have anything to do with the
burial of the child.
The little girl was born a cripple and
a few days ago was taken to the hos
pital to undergo an operation. The op-
Grafton was performed and she died
a week afterwards. Neither the girls
father nor the city will now stand the
expense Of a funeral. The case is one
without precedent in this locality.

FAvoRs THE COAL MINERS.

In his report on the anthracite coal
strike situation, Labor Commissioner
Wright is inclined to favor the de-
mands OF the miners against the opera
tor on a majority of the points at is
sue. He does not approve of some of
the methods of the union, but believes
in the union as such. He holds that
hour day is right, and also that the
demand for a 10 per cent increase in
wages is warranted by the general in
crease in prices and is necessary in
order to make the workman good ON
the increased cost of living. The de-
mand of the workmen that the pay
for mining coal shall be based on
weight, instead of by wagon or carload.
and that there be no deductions for
impurities, he also holds just and fair.
The chief cause of the strike is the
mutual distrust between operators and
miners, between the bosses and the
union officers. Therefore Commission
er Wright suggests the organization of
joint committee on Cancellation, COM
posed Of representatives of both, to
which all grievances shall be referred
for investigation, and that the decision
of this committee of Cancellation shall
be binding upon all parties.
1t is getting to be clear, that, without
some such action in the way of concil-
iation, the strike in the anthracite re-
gion will be of indefinite duration, and
of untold distress not only in the min
ing region. but throughout the nation
wherever there is consumer of coal.
T he Glob e further suggests that
In the makeup of this committee on
Cancellation and arbitration, there be
represented not only the miners on the
one hand and the operators on the 9TH
er, but likewise the public, that is al
most as greatly affected by the out
come as the mine owners and workmen
themselves. There is a practical rea-
son for third factor in the makeup of
the committee, which Is this, that, If
the committee represents only two In
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1902-09-04

terests and these two are equally d.
vided, thre would probably be no set
Element at all, because they would
break even and stand opposed to each
other on every issueI whereas, the
third interest represented, being dis
interested party as between the con-
tentions of the bosses and the workmen,
would serve as balance Of power to
insure each issue q decisive settlement.
Neither party is without fault In the
contest that has waged SO disastrously
for so many weeks, and 1t Is perhaps
scarcely worth while, now that a way
to settlement seems to be in sight, to
pass sentence upon the parties involv-
ed. But there are one or two things
that appear patent enough to require
comment; and the first Is, that the OPP
orators were in the wrong when they
took a stand against all propositions
to arbitrate. Had the operators shown
q disposition to submit the issues to a
disintereSted commission for settle
ment the strike certainly would have
been shortened, If not averted. The
second certainty Is that the demand
for 10 per cent increase in pay can
not be considered exorbitant, in view
Of the still greater increase Of prices
for the necessaries of life for which the
wages are paid. That the coal should
be paid for by exact weight instead Of
by load, appears to be business prop
osition which the mine owners them
selves could appreciate in the interest
of accurate business methods. AS to
the demand for nine-hour day, that
is simply in line with the industrial
movement of all progressive industries
and all civilized countries. 1t Is yet to
be proved that it Is not in the line Of
economy and profit for the proprietors
themselves; for the countries and the
industrial competitors where the hours
of labor are least exhaustive are nota-
bly, in the lead in the matter Of volume
of production, class Of work and econ
omy in the cost Of production.

THURSDAY, SEPT. 4, 1902.

On the supposition that anthracite
coal is on the American free list, the
Welsh coal producers have come to the
rescue of New York from extortionate
coal prices. But here is where the
Dingley tariff tricksters got in their
work. Knowing that the Welsh coal
was an anthracite containing 80 per
cent Of carbon, they raised the free
list margin to 90 per cent of carbon,
and so American consumers of "free
anthracite" from Great Britain are
soaked with tariff tax, just the same,

COAL STRIKE WAS
PLANNED BY TRUST
Retail Dealers In Time to Be Merely
Agents Of the COM
bino. a@

Special to The Globe.
BOSTON, Mass, Sept. s.-The Adj
vertiser will say tomorrow, editorially,
on the authority Of a leading coal OPP
orator,
Most people think that the trouble
with the coal strike will be ended by
the resumption Of work by the miners.
Make no mistake. That will be but
an episode. Any coal dealer who does
not absolutely control all the trade
in his own section will be wise to sell
out as soon as he can, unless he is pre-
pared to buy out all his competitors
to become the agent of the trust.
'This word of warning will be re-
membered by coal men later in Boston
and In every city and town in the
United States where anthracite coal is
sold. AS positively as words can be
framed, 1t can be said that the strike,
deliberately brought on, one might
fairly say forced on the miners, Is
merely the first act in the little farce
which the men who are running this
gigantic enterprise have in mind.
'"The one necessary thing to start
with was to get absolute control Of
the retailers by using up their supplies.
That is now done, but it is only the
first move. From now on there will
never be a glut In the coal market
anywhere. Coal will be doled out to
dealers under such conditions that the
'superfiuous ones as an agent of the
trust said naively when incautiously
explaining the plans. shall be driven
out Of business. In the course of time
the retail dealers are all to be men
who are simply agents of the trust"

BLIND PIGS ARE RAIDED.
Police Arrest Four Booth Owners
Charged With Selling LIQUORS.

An air of mystery prevailed around
police headquarters at the fair
grounds all day yesterday. There
were numerous and lengthy consulta-
tons between Justice of the Peace Lo-
reno Hoyt and Franklin H Griggs,
former assistant corporation attorney
of st. Paul
The result Of these whispered con-
ferences was the issuance Of search
warrants for a number Of alleged blind
pigs, said to be operated inside the
fair bailiwick.
Four Arrests Are Made.
Shortly before o'clock the police
swooped down on four of the places
and secured both prisoners and evil
dence.
A. L. Lake, who gave his occupa-
ton as a painter and his residence as
423 West Central avenue, st. Paul,
had lunch tent near the st. Paul
gate. The police captured four quart
bottles of whisky.
Pearl Nassau, claiming Minneapo-
lis as her residence, had a booth on the
outside Of the carriage building and
the police secured as evidence of her
violating the law a case of "Malthop."
r. j. Hill,a Minneapolis saloon keep
er, who attained notoriety by going
on the bond Of Detective Nordeck, was
charged with selling whisky. None OF
the liquor was found when his booth
near the grand stand was searched,
but the police claim he was given a
tip and concealed the liquor. Lake was
committed to Jail In default Of bail.
William Champion, who has lunch
stand on the midway, was the fourth
prisoner to be gathered in.
Imprisonment Is Possible.
Pearl Nassau put up $25 bail for
her appearance for trial at II o'clock
this morning. Hill offered a check for
5000, but as he already owed the fair
society $3.50 for five privileges, Attor-
ney Griggs and Justice Hoyt demurred
to accepting anything but cash bail.
IT was just trying to collect money
to pay the balance Of what owe the
society when I was arrested" said
Hill, land I have shown that intend
ed to pay by turning in 500" Hill was
released on bail last evening.
The prisoners will be given a trial
before Justice Hoyt this morning. The
penalty for conviction is not less than

twenty nor more than sixty days in
