| ana one Man is Beaten into lnSen-
sibiIity-No Sympathetic Strike Will
Take Place In New York.
Chicago, May 31.-Three more coal
yards were affected by a spread of the
| strike to the Henry Z. Weaver Coal
| company today. The men refused to
deliver fuel to the American Express
| company and were discharged. Their
| places were filled by men from the en-
ployers teaming company This is
the first strike of coal teamsters in
three weeks. Fear of incendiarism
has caused police to re-enforce the
guard at the lumber yards of the Hines
company and other large concerns.
Even river patrol has been organ
lied and surveillance is being main
tanned night and day.
Discussing the rumors of an impend-
ing referendum vote of the teamsters
on the question of ending the strike
President Shea, of the teamsters, said
today:
Neither the national board nor my
self has power under the teamsters'
brotherhood constitution to say when
this strike shall end. | cannot call
OFF the strike, neither can the board
We cannot call strikes. We simply
are the creatures of the rank and file
of our brotherhood, and they alone can
call off the strike, when they wish to.
The constitution of the brotherhood
does not provide for referendum vote
on calling off the strike. The only way
that either the board or myself can
act officially is to secure some sort OF
an offer of settlement and present 1t
to the rank and file"
Slugging Of strike breakers contin-
ues. James Spencer, of Kansas CITY
who had been employed as driver
for a department store, was reported
to the police today as having been at
tackled by three men and left uncon-
scious. According to Spencer, the three
men forced him to get on Wentworth
avenue car. Spencer protested, and
called to the street car conductor for
assistance. The conductor however
refused to aid. At the end of the car
line the three men took Spencer from
the car and beat him into insensibility.
Several hours afterwards he was found
by pedestrian who brought Spencer
to hospital.
After the twenty-four hours forced
truce, occasioned by the general clos
ing down Of business for the decoration
day holiday, employers and teamsters
resume the strike struggle today;
with with the situation as 1t was on
Monday, and the little prospect for any
immediate change. The employers
teaming company eclipsed it's previous
record today sending out between z. 800
and $500 teamsters. Every driver
that could b espared was sent to the
lumber district in order to facilitate
deliveries by the lumber concerns in
Volved in the strike, and additional
police protection was asked.
A further spread of the strike among
the lumber firms was looked for today.
Firms connected with the mill mems
association employing 125 drivers, are
pledged to make deliveries in strike
bound houses, and it was expected
that several of these concerns would
be affected today.

PLANTERS REDUCE
COTTON ACREAGE
Report of Cotton Association
Proves This Fact.
CROP CUT EIGHTEEN PER CENT


Officers Show ConcusiveIy that az
Smaller Amount of Staple VIII Be,
Produced this Year.
New Orleans, May 31.-The Southf
ern Cotton association today issued
it's cotton acreage report. The report
is as follows:
The estimated acreage for 1904, asl
indicated by the the report Of the Unit 1
ed States government, amounted to 81 n
730 900 acres.
The decrease in the acreage for.
1905 as shown by the tabulated stated
ment herwith, which was ascertainedl
from 1854 individual reports fromI
farmers, merchants, bankers and,
others, throughout the cotton belt.'
fixes the acreage this year at 25,9S0,i
and 1906 per cent in fertilizers.
THE report on the decrease in the
cotton acreage and the use of CONNER
cial fertilizers under cotton for 1905
was compiled from reliable statistics
gathered by the various states and
territorial presidents of the association
and tabulated at New Orleans, La,
May 81, 1905, by the president and
secretary of the southern cotton asso-
citation and Colonel H. G.. Hester, of
New Orleans, with the assistance and
cooperation of the presidents of the
state and territorial division. The
condition of the crop as reported for
Louisiana, Texas, Arkansas, the ter
ritories and portions of Mississippi
are unprecedentedly bad. Much of
the acreage reported in those states
being yet implanted and large tracts
either under water or badly washed
by heavy rains.
'In the eastern portion of the cot
ton belt the fields generally are gras-
sy, the cotton still uachoped and la
Dor scarce throughout the entire belt
The officers of the association ex-
| pressed the highest commendation Of
the loyalty of the farmers, throughout
| the cotton territory, in so fully living
| up to their promises and pledges, in
| bringing about SO material a reduction
in the cotton acreage and use of COM
mercial fertilizers under cotton for
1905.
They have fully exemplified their
ability to accomplish great results, and
| to save their country from financial
ruin in the face of impending disaster.
| The present demand for cotton is un-
precedented and with firm and de-
termined stand, higher prices for the
staple will be secured in the near fu-
| ture"
