 Do you still adhere to your decision not to receive any representatives or special committee from the Switch mems union in view of the fact that the commissioner of labor is now in- terceding with the menT
 Yes. Whatever he does cannot make any difference with the decision I have reached as far as that is con- cerned."
 "Will there be a strike?"
 No, don't think there will. It may be that when the commissioner ex- plains the situation thoroughly that they will see that they are wrong. And I expect it to end there." .t

PARIS June 2.-The reports to and
the debates before the fifth Interna-
tional Congress of Cotton Spinners and
Manufacturers. which opened in this
city yesterday. all Indicate that Europe
stands in great fear OF American
monopoly and feels the urgent neces-
sity of freeing this immense manu-
featuring industry from American
domination of the price Of raw ma
terial especially when cotton is the
subject of speculative movements. The
official French representatives insist
that foreign manufacturers have n
right to fair prices in order to avoid
a arrangement OF the industry abroad.
Moritz Schany, a German expert. ex-
pressed the opinion that while there
is possibility Of large increase
demand of the production, labor diff
culties beyond the Atlantic make an
increased supply OF American raw ma
terlal abroad unlikely. especially as
the United States undoubtedly will
greatly Increase the consumption Of
It's own cotton. Herr Schany Joins
with his colleagues in the cry against
the Americans. on the ground thar
they are not disposed to deliver their
cotton at fair prices.
10 remedy this condition, the EuroS
pean delegates advocate, first, some
method to put a stop to Improper
speculation, and, second, the fostering
and the extension OF the production OF
cotton IN the colonies Of Europe, es
pecially In Africa and Egypt. II IS
claimed that in ten years time these
countries will be able to produce 10
oco'ooo bales OF cotton a year.

The American delegates. on the con-
trary contend that the Southern
states are the natural field for cotton
production. and say they will be cana

Iompkins, of Charlotte. N. G., sub
mltted report, In which he argued
that the existence OF a large new cot
ton area was problematical, and IL
was therefore the duty OF the Euro
pean manufacturers, instead OF pursu-
Ing illusory dreams, to turn their at

southern States, where, with adequate
labor sufficient cotton can be grown
to supply the entire world

At secret session held this after.

resolution in favor Of organizing a
systematic campaign of agitation to
induce the governments Of Europe to

the practical results of such agitation
are vague and distant, Southern dele
