 EXPECTED TO STRIKE
If Steamship Agents at New Orleans Employ NOn.u Union Screw Men.
 All Union Men Will Strike

New Orleans, La, Sept. 3O.-Action which is expected to cause a strike of about 5000 cotton handlers tomorrow was taken by the commercial bodies of New Orleans yesterday. The ex- changes instructed steamship agents at this port to disregard the demands of 1,200 cotton screw men and to hire non union laborers to load their yes sels. All the other unions in the cot ton-loading business, including long shoremen, yardmen, scalemen, mark CTS and freight handlers, declare they will strike if non-union screwmen are employed.
 The steamship agents demand that screwmen load 200 bales of cotton dai- ly, in place of 160. formerly loaded The screwmen have refused and have demanded an increase of $1 day for slowing 160 bales, raising their wages to $5 and $6 day. Two-thirds of the men affected are negroes The last big levee strike here occurred in 1904 and was attended with bloodshed

SEPARATE DIOCESE
 FOR THE NEGRO
Bishop Edsall of Minnesota Outlines Plan to Be Submitted to the Gen
 cral Convention at Richmond.

Washington, Sept 30-"The negro question will be one of the important ! issues in the general convention of the Protestant Episcopal church in | Richmond this week. was the asser- l ton of Right Reverend Mir Edsall.
 here Bishop Edsall outlined the plan which he believes will find favor, and it is one which, it is understood, has
 been favored by Bishop Satterlee of
 the diocese of Washington, as follows:
 ITO create a diocese for the negro
 members of the church not separate as
 to state lines but comprehending the negroes as a separate section of the 1 church, which would have it's dele gates in the general convention and 1 eventually, if not at once, come into full relationship so far as concerns the right of suffrage in the conven-
 tion."
 Bishop Edsall urged the considera- tion of the issue as one which must
 be settled and settled right, consist ently with the recognized difficulties
 of harmonizing the differences be- tween the various sections of thought
 in the church at large, and at the same | time taking account of the views of the white people of the South \ Recently, Bishop Satterlee preached diocesan sermon before his clergy of
 this diocese, and discussed the matter
 at length. He took ground practically the same as that occupied by Bishop Edsall, and contended that some so- lution of the problem must be reached, which would not be chimerical in it's
 attempts to establish distractions in
 the face of the obvious difficulties to
 be encountered.
 = That action to be taken at the gen
 eral convention at Richmond will be reasonably conservative is assured in large part by the fact that the ses
 sions are to be held in city in a Southern state which always has been one of the centers of Protestant
 Episcopal influence. It is predicted that any attempt to ignore the ration al aspects of tie situation will arouse
 discussions such IS have seldom been
 heard in any previous general conven ton.
 Delegates have been pouring in from all states and territories to attend
 the convention of the Brotherhood of
 St. Andrew which terminates today. The assembling here of these dele gates, 2,500 in number. many of whom
 have been designated as deputies to
