GOMPERS TALKS.
Says Strike Cannot Be Laid to Door Of
Unior S.

Washington, July 19.-"If the strike
in Chicago and elsewhere is not brought
to a close by agreement with the pack
ers. whatever is entailed cannot be
laid to the door Of the union." SAID
President Samuel GOmpers. Of the
American Federation of Labor, upon
his return to Washington, today, from
New York, following a visit to Chicago
where he was in conference with both
the strike leaders and the packers.
THE packers he said. reduced
wages Of the common laborers from ~
to II cents, last year. to which the men
consented. They have realized that
there has been no fall in the price OF
beef as the result of that reduction.
but on the contrary there has been
an increase in the general cost of Nv
ing. The men are only asking res
storation Of their wages. That Is the
whole gum and substance OF the
strike" Mr.. Gompers said that the lat-
est information he had was that the
men want the packers to promise them
fair treatment and agreement to arpl-
trate whatever differences there may
be between them. He expressed nope
that the strike will soon end.
Mr.. Gompers minimized the disturb
ances at some Of the packing estab-
lishments, saying the men under wise
leadership of Mr. Donnelly had shown
wonderful self-restraint" that the men
on the strike represent almost every
nationality and that owing to the vari-
Gus tongues spoken little disturbance
here and there meant nothing.
Regarding the proposition Of the
packers that the men should make APP
plication for their old positions and as
many would be employed as possible,
Mr.. GOmpers said: THAT cannot be
accepted because it means that every
whim, fancy, prejudice. or vengence of
some Of the packing officials might re-
suit in a virtual blacklisting of some
Of those who went out"

CoUNTRY's WHEAT CROP,
Trade Bulletin Gives Amount as 610
100000 Bushels.

Chicago, July 19.-The Daily Trade
Bulletin. today. credits the United
States with a wheat crop of 61O, 1000, 900
bushels and claims that reducing sup
plies to a minimum. the surplus for ex-
port may be 142.OO0,OOO bushels. Elk
ports, last year, were 121,OOO,OOO
bushels and the average for the past
Is years 17O,OOOOOO bushels. Supplies
of flour and wheat in America are
about 100000 bushels less than last
year while the amount of wheat in
farmers hands is 100000 bushels less
Stocks in Europe, Argentina and afloat
are 22.500,000 bushels more.
According to the bulletin the worlds
wheat crop for 1904 is 100000 to
1870, 100000 bushels less than last year.
An increase in Asia, it is believed, will
offset the decrease in the United States
The decrease is chiefly in Europe and
mainly in Russia. Roumania, Austria
Hungary and Italy.

FALL RIVER MILLS ROBBED.
Thousands Of Yards of Prints Have
Been Stolen.

Fall River, July 19-The arraignment
of Patrick and William Millerick for
trial. in the District Court, on d charge
of stealing 10000 yards OF calico from
the American Printing Company, is the
first public disclosure of an organized
system of stealing which has gone on
in local textile establishments for two
years.
Inspectors Medley and Shea, who
made the arrests say Hiram Lubinsky.
a peddler. took the goods from the Mil
lericks and sold them to Anna Samuel
son of Spring street, and Ida Cohen of
Mulberry street. They made them into
wrappers and aprons. and sold them
freely in the neighborhood. When the
Samuelson woman's house was search
ed, forty dresses made from this sea-
sons American print was found, and
or going through the neighborhood
with print works expert, prints Of
very latest designs. not yet marketed.
were found on the backs of many
housewives.
The Millericks. who reside on Second
street. have been in the employ of the
company since boyhood. and are now
forty years of age. They have con-
fessed to the inspectors that they
wrapped fifty yards of printed goods
around their bodies every day and sold
them to Lubinsky, who disposed of
them. They also took cloth from the
works in their dinner pals. sometimes
taking regularly 600 yards week.
They sold it at two and three cents a
yard, the market price ranging from
four and one-half to five and one-half
cents. While they are charged with
stealing only 10000 yards. the company
has missed much more. The inspectors
have also been working in a similar
case at the Algonquin Print works and
have reached the conclusion that
organized bands of thieves are at work
in different mills. but more particularly
in the concerns where the fabrics are
finished ready for sale.

CARPENTERS LOCKOUT.
Six Thousand Men Are Idle at New
York.

New York. July 19.-All the carpenters
employed here by the Master Carpenters
Association have been locked out by or
der of the board of governors OF the
Building Trades Employers Association.
The lockout ties up the carpenter work
on every large building in the borough
and involves between 5000 and 600 men.
This is the first time since the accept
ance, several months ago. of the arbitra-
ton agreement of the Building Trades
Employers Association that there has
been a general lockout of any kind. The
carpenters locked out belong to the
Brotherhood of Carpenters and the frOu-
bile is owing to the alleged violation of
the arbitration agreement by carpenters
striking on a contract held by one firm
holding membership in the Master Car
renters Association. The trouble was
about the handling of non-union wood.

For the six months of this year the
anthracite companies produced 2.52s,.
412 tons. The production for July IL
estimated to be about 100000 tons
Since the close of the strike there has
been produced by all anthracite COM
panies grand total of 109,s75,o7
tons. OF this. more than 12,000.0Os
tons were used at the mines and In

coal storage plants. All the coal pro-
duced has not been consumed how
ever, for the larger companies are
storing as much as they can In anticl'
patton of heavy demand this wintf
They were taught by recent strike e.
pcriences not to mine to supply the
market demands, but to be prepared for
any emergency.
Many of the mines are being worked
out, and new openings. less productive
have been made. All the operators are
working their culm banks and using
every device to get all the product they
can. This state possesses the only
anthracite field in the United States
with the exception of Colorado whers
a small field has been located. when
only produces about 100000 tons.
AS to the development of the bituml'
nous region, the tonnage, last year,
was 2S4,0O0,0OO tons. an increase over
1899 of 100000 tons and an increase
over 1898 of 154,OOO,OOO tons. Although
the present season is presumed TO %
slack" f. A. Saward. an authority %
at 270,000,O00 tons. Hundreds OF new
mines have been opened in West VIZ
ginia, and the production next year
will be much heavier.
Soft coal is rapidly taking the place
of anthracite, and since the strike o.
1902 many of this city's biggest coai'
industries have been uslnk
oituminous. Anticipating the gradual
of anthracite and ths

Edward w. Parker OF the United s ,.s

Mr.. Parker says the stock I,

sible and out-of-the-way beds that n.
cost of production has increased ,rs
mendously. Mr.. Parker who was
member of the commission which 4,
vestigated the coal strike. saws u.
operators are working seams whit.
fifteen or twenty years ago were y,
considered AS commercial proposition,
The operators have been driven 10 ,h,.
in little more than a decade.
The anthracite fields have ho,.
worked to the limit in recent years W,
there has been no substantial incres,s
in the output. The average products.
was from $4,000, 900 to $4,000. 600 tons
year in the height of the industry Nm,
the average for the past three year
has been $4,000 tons. On the 9TH.
hand. the production of bitumnos
has gained tremendously. The o,,,n,s
of soft coal in 1900 was Ill, 600 900 ton.
and in 1902 it was 100000 tons. TIL.
increase came largely from newly Al.
veloped coal lands i'm West Wright. !.
which many former operators in IN.
state have now directed their attentos
and finances.
Mr.. Parker says this shows that s,f
coal is competing with the hard ana
driving it out of the market. Anthra.
cite has already ceased to be a fact,
in the manufacturing industry. and 4
growing more and more of a luxury
every year. The operating expenses d,
anthracite companies are getting
heavier and heavier. As they dir
deeper for their coal they are required
to raise more water and overcome Other
obstacles which add to the cost of pro.
duction.
Every time the tonnage is increased
the cost of mining goes up. In add
ton to this. the companies have large
reserves Of coal lands, which represent
a big outlay Of capital that must real.

is taken into consideration when the
price to the consumer is fixed. Mr.
Parker predicts that while there mar
be squirt for a month or two in en-
deavors to catch up with the market
the production will continue to show
steady decline.
