FOR AIDING A LOCKOUT.
Eleven Manufacturers In New York
City Indicted for illegally Import
Ing Foreign Labor.

After eight months of cereful prep
aration, the United States district at
torney of the New York district will.
according to reliable authority, cause
the arrest Of eleven heads of manu-
featuring and contracting concerns Of
the city, On writs charging them with
having conspired, through the medium
of an employers association, to vio--
late the contract laws by the importa-
ton of foreign workingmen.
The penalty is fine of not less
than $1,000 nor more than $4,000, or
Imprisonment for not more than two
years.
1t is understood that the depart
ment of commerce and labor Is direct
ing the prosecution and its agents, with
the aid of secret service agents. pre-
pared the case This has involved
many months of investigation, and the
keeping since January last of four
men, English tile settlers, at Ellis
LoAanu- IL 10 uPOA tuO SfAuSAC0 VI
these men. backed by corroborative
evidence, that the government chiefly
relies.
The evidence in the case goes back
to the lockout by the Tile, Crate and
Mantel Association, an employers as
sociation, of the men of mosaic and
encaustic tile layers and helpers of
New York and vicinity on August 6,
Of last year. To make the lockout a
success, it is charged the employers
association sent one of its number to
England aud causea advertisements
to appear in papers in England and
Germany offering tile settlers SIS per
day for eight hours labor IN the Unit
ed States.
Fifty workmen, 1t is alleged, were
imported to the Unl~ad States at the
instance of the eleven accused men,
and were instructed to swear falsely
when questioned at Ellis Island by the
immigration officials, as to their rea-
sons for coming to America and es-
pecially to swear that they had as
yet no employment in this country.
1t is also said that the men were fur
nished with the address of one of
the accused and ordered to report to
him.
Two weeks after the men were i'm
ported, the lockout being a success,
1t is alleged the accused caused the
English workmen to De discharged, on
the ground that they were not famil
lar with the American tools or with
the methods of working in this coun-
try, and were therefore useless. Some
OF these men got home as best they
could but four of them carried their
grievances to agents of the depart
ment of commerce and labor and rem
dered information ON which an inyes
tigation was based.
Since then they have been under
detention at the immigrant station at
Ellis Island.

TO MEET HIGH PRICES
European Cotton spinners wall Resort
to Shorter Time IN Mills, Says
Delegate Dale.

Governor Stokes OF New Jersey
opened the New England Cotton Man
ufacturers' convention at Atlantic
City, Wednesday, with a speech of
welcome, during which he defended
the attitude of the state of New Jer-
sey toward trusts. His remarks were
applauded. Responses were made by
Herbert z. Walmsley of New Bed
ford, Mass, an ex-president OF the as
sociation. President James B. McCon
of Pawtucket, R. l., in his annual re-
port said:
Cotton manufacturing has Jagged
behind osher branches Of commerce
in the recovery from the depression of
1903. The extreme fluctuations in the
price of raw cotton and the conse-
Quent disturbance of values and man.
ufactured goods tend to destroy the
confidence of buyers and to encourage
them to continue an indefinite policy.
For the year just closed the total ex-
ports of cotton amounted to over
forty-nine million dollars in compar-
ison with twenty-five million the pre-
ceding year. There has also been a
growing trade with Japan, the Philip
pine Islands, Cuba and several coun-
tries of South America"
The president also said that me
Southern Cotton Growers Association
has done excellent work in exposing
the dishonesty of officials in the bu-
reau of statistics of the agricultural
department He said estimates of the
acreage and condition issued by the
government should be both capable
and honest.
At Wednesday nights session the
speech of Samuel S. Dale on the in
ternational congress of cotton spin
ners was read and excited deep at
tention. Mr.. Dale said the origin OF
the congress was the temporary scare

gave speculators an opportunity OF
cornering what little poor cotton was
left on the market. He detailed his
enthusiastic welcome on his arrival at
Manchester and said the main pur-
pose of the international organization
is to prevent scarcity of raw cot
ton.
''This, of course, can be accomplish
ed only in one of two ways" he said,
"by using less, or by producing more.
The first method, which means short
time, although the one plan on which
the delegates unquestionably place
their main reliance, was conspicuous
BIZ it's absence from the program and
was not made prominent in the dis
cussion. There was, however, no mis-
| taking the spirit of the congress. Inc
members were united and they were
ia dead earnest in their determina-
ton to meet high prices for Ameri-
can cotton with organized short time.
"At the discussion of the second
method, colonial cotton seemed to be
the hope of European cotton mills
liberation from the present depend
ence on the American crop.
cat one session of the congress the
baling of cotton came up for discus.
sion. and bitter complaints were made
on the way in which American cotton
is received in Europe. In this con-
gress, which represented purchasers
of American cotton to the value OF
| $3.50, 900, 900 per year, there was not
man who could say one word in favor
of American baling."

Hon. Walter Clark, president of the
Mississippi division of the Southern
Cotton Association, gave out the fol-
lowing address some lays SINCE 1t is
well worthy of a careful perusal.
ITO the Farmers of Mississippi: At
the recent meeting in Asheville, N. c.,
the executive committee of the South
ern Cotton Association. saw proper 10
fix the minimum price Of cotton at
II cents, basis middling uplands at the
home market. Doubtless many of you
may be inclined to think the price is
too high, and that We will not be able
to maintain it. l want to remind you
that at New Orleans convention much
opposition was aroused by the propo-
sition to fix the price of cotton at 10
cents. The cotton buying world ridi-
culed the idea
Il did everything in my power on
my return home after this convention
to prevent the sale of cotton, and
begged and pleaded with men not to
sell their cotton at IL and Z cents.
l have met many men who sold their
best grades at these prices, who later
on sold the lowest grades for 10 IL
cents. The cotton buyer certainly will
not pay II cents for cotton when he
can get it for 10 IL. If you sell cot
ton for 10 or 10 IL cents, you GER
tainly cannot raise the price to II
cents, SO you see this matter is, en-
tirely in your hands. Your executive
committee fixes this price after ma
ture dellberation. They were well ad-.
vised SIS to the condition of the crop,
surplus and dry goods market. I con-
slider their action conservative, and
believe that in a very short while you
viii realize this price, and l urge you
net to sell, provided of course you can
finance your holdings If you are fore
ed to sell, sell as little as possible.
| would also advise and -Irge you to
devote your entire tims and attention
for the next thirty days at least, 20
the gathering of the crcp, and that
you hold, hold in the seed, as the
loss is less.
Il have this morning received the
following telegram from the president
of the South Carolina division: En-
courage your people to hold; Eastern
crop shorter than expected
Your commit. ee were Of the opin-
ion that with normal conditions nine
and one-half million bales would be
the ma%mum crop; Of course, to
some extent this is guess work, but
we shall endeavor to keep you post
ed about the conditions in all parts
of the country. The bears point to
the large receipts. For the past eight
weeks picking has been very general
in parts of Texas and the eastern belt.
In many places, 1 am informed. that
the picking will be finished by Octo-
Der 10. This cotton has been ginned
and sold at from 10 3-S to 10 IL cents;
having been sold it necessarily fol-
lows that it should appear at the
ports. In many sections the cotton
has opened prematurely and every
thing points to the shortest crop we
have raised for years. Do not sell
your cotton for less than II cents, and
do not sell all for that price. Feed the
market slowly"
