MORN SIDES DETERMINED.
Westchester Bosses and Mechanics Still
Bitterly Oppose Each Other.

NEW ROCHELLE, n. Y, June 2.-The
building trades strike in West Chester was
ten weeks old to-day A hundred Mount
Vernon masons gave in, accepting the terms
of the employers without reserve, but in
the county and particularly in New Rochelle,
where the feeling between the men and their
employers is unusually bitter, there is
nothing to indicate that work will be re-
sumel his summer, The employers in
New Rochelle are making determined
tgh' - break up every form OF trades
union.sln. They say that il the men will
return to work they must accept any scale
of wages they may choose TO pay them,
and that shops will be open to union and
alike.
Tho employers, who are strongly united,
propose a card system which is intolerable
TO the unions If this system is adopted d
every mechanic when he applies for work
will be asked for card giving his qualifi-
card must be signed by his former employer.
The union men pronounce this servant
girl system and say that it should not be
tolerated in free country. They say
that il opens the way to blackilsting as the
members of the employers union can. If
they wish to do so, adopt a system Of secret
identification and prevent men from OBJ
tanning employment anywhere In New York
or Connecticut.
Because Of the strike $40 900 900 worth
of improvements which were projected
this summer have been ent tirely abandoned.
The boards of trade of New Rochelle. Port
Chester and Greenwich. and at least a half
dozen priests and ministers, have tried o
bring the employers and strikers together,
but have failed The men are willing %
recede from their demands of a 20 per cent.
increase in wages and take only 10 per
cent, but they will not listen to any propo-
sit ion to work with the men who have taken
their places during the strike.
Since the building trades strike in New
York has been settled many have found
employment there. Others who cannot
leave New Rochelle are to receive from
81 to SO week from the National Trades
Union organizations.
The employers say that they offered at
tho beginning Of the 81 r'ike to give 10 per
cent. increase, or to submit the whole qqes.

STRIKE HURTS THE HORSES, TOO.
Dirnculty OF Keeping Many Fine Beasts
In Condition Troubles Contractors.

One of the difficulties into which the tie-up
in the building trades has plunged the big
trucking contractors is how to keep in good
condition, while in ideness, the strings of
fine horses they need in their business,
1t is now nearly a month since there was
any considerable amount Of work for these
horses to do, and many of them are becom-
ing stiff and sore from long standing in their
stalls.
SO the contractors have to employ horse
exercisers The stable master manages
daily to get five or six men to take out
rigs, and to the rear Of each vehicle he
bitches five or six horses and sends them
out for few hours; The drivers walk
the horses through the streets and after
the allotted time return and get another
batch. In this way more than a hundred
horses get enough exercise in day to keep
them in condition.
Small contractors who do not own more
than a score Of horses employ small boys
to ride them about. One of the odd sights
Of the stable district in Harlem in these
strike days is such string of horses hltched
behind an empty wagon or tied to broad
backed nag with small boy in the saddle.

FLOODS HURT TIE CROPS.
DrouEht Continues In the East-Wheat
Generally Doing Well,

WASHINGTON. June 2.The following
summary of climate and crop conditions
was given out by the Weather Bureau
to-day:
The States of the lower Missouri Valley
and portions Of the Mississippi Valley have
suffered much from heavy rains, especially
Iowa, the eastern portions OF Kansas ana
Nebraska and western Missouri. Drought
continues in New England, the northern
portions OF the Middle Atlantic States ana
In Florida, and rains are needed III portions
of the central Gulf States and in southern
Texas. Drought conditions have been
wholly relieved in the Ohio Valley and
over the greater part OF the Middle ana
South Atlantic States. The latter part OF
the week was unseasonably cool in the lower
Missouri Valley, western Gulf districts
and New England, and damaging frosts
occurred in the ast-named district. Very
favorable temperatures prevailed In the
Ohio Valley and South Atlantic and eastern
Gulf States More favorable conditions
than in the previous week are reported
from the Pacific Coast States, much-needed
showers having occurred in Oregon and
Washington.
Wet weather has caused further delay
in corn planting in the Missouri and upper
Mississippi valleys, where much OF TINS
work is unfinished, and the early planted
is becoming weedy. In the eastern por-
tions of Kansas and Nebraska and in Iowa
corn fields have been badly washed out
and much replanting will be necessary
In Iowa the acreage will be materially
reduced In Illinois planting is .practlcaliy
finished and an excellent stand has been
attained In the central and upper ONO
Valley planting is also delayed, and early
fields in some portions are suffering for
cultivation. In the Southern States corn
has experienced a very favorable week.
Winter wheat on lowlands in the eastern
portions of Kansas and Nebraska and north
western Missouri has sustained injury
from floods. but on the whole the crop has
made satisfactory advancement, an i'm
provement being generally indicated IN the
Ohio Valley. the Lake region and the Middle
Atlantic States. Harvesting is general IN
Texas, and has begun in Arkansas and
North Carolina. Winter wheat has made
slow growth in Washington and Oregon,
and the fields in the eastern portion Of
Oregon are unusually weedv. In CAN.
fornia the outlook is not promising, and
much late wheat is being cut for hay.
