Future Of the South
AS Seen by Delegates

Dr. Walter c. Murphy, secretary OF
the parliament. and also one of its
most enthusiastic workers, said to The
Times today:
"On account of the want OF the CO.
hesive power of money, the efforts for
Interstate cooperation in the matter
OF the material development of the
South, and immigration into the South
have been rather neglected. This was
because the States relied on the rail-
roads to look after this feature OF the
South's interests.

Panama Canal, and the development OF
Southern ports, the disposition Of

long way toward developing the
South's working population.
Rice Industry.
IN addition TO this, the remarkable
DEVELOPMENT of the rice Industry IN
! Louisiana. the trucking industry from
Norfolk TO Tampa, and the wonderful
percentage of investments in North
Carolina manufactures, point TO the
rapid and solid upgrowth Of the South.
The first effort at concerted organi-
| zatfon between the Southern States
| for the development OF their material
resources was at Richmond. Va. IN
April, 1903, when Governor Ffshback,
| of Arkansas, called the governors or
all the Southern States to that city.
The matter OF rejuyenating the South
at that time appealed to all present as
feasible and advisable.

terested In several Government con-
tracts.
1t was runored at the City Hall this

Threats of Extension of Trouble Offset

CHICAGO. May 2s.-The situation in
the teamsters strike this morning IS
paradoxieaI.
Threats Of an extension OF the stfug-
gle that will tie up the building indus
try are expected TO be carried out to-
day. Leaders of both sides. on the other
hand. gave out statements. after con-
ferenees lasting nearly all night, that
would indicate a probability of peace.
General agents of the railroad express
companies still hold the balance Of
power. Upon them rests the RESPONSE
hility, according to the tabor leaders,
of ending or continuing the strike.
Agents Are Stubborn.
They say they are absolutely unyield-
ing in their determination to stick by
the men who took the places of those
employees who abandoned them to go on
a sympathetic strike
The general agents are expected to be
present at an adjourned conference be-
tween the employers and the teamsters
this morning. If the express company
leaders meet the officers of the team
sters. it will have been the first time
since hostiiities began that these en-
ployers would conduct any negotiations

Lumber Situation Critical.
The situation, as 1t affects the lumber
