DEEP WATERWAY TO THE GULF
The Mississippi River Commission
FaNors Project.

FaTorS FroJect.
A deep waterway between Chicago
and the gulf seems to be one of the
possibilities of the near future. The
project has been discussed for many
years, but now at length it seems to
be ripening to head.
The Mississippi River Commission,
in a report now in the hands of the
Secretary of War, proposes to go ahead
with that portion Of the lakes-to-the-
gulf deep waterway which lies within
its jurisdiction on the Mississippi
River. The members believe that it
will be both economical and in the
line of permanency for them to adopt
Immediately deep waterway project,
and in future work have that big en-
terprise in mind instead Of temporary
bank revetment, desultory dredging
and sporadic attempts to clear certain
harbors The report recommends that
the Secretary of War asks Congress
to give the commission a million of
dollars year for three years, in adj
dition to the sum now at the disposal
of the commission, and with this
amount permanent work on the deep
waterway can 60 forward. The commits
sion how has at its disposal the sum
of 100000 a year for three years,
and it holds in the report to the Sec.
rotary of War that it cannot expend
the 100000 already authorized by
Congress in an economical way if there
is ever any thought of building a deep
waterway.
The real Significance of this recon-
mendation from the Mississippi River
Commission lies in the fact that three
members of the commission are also
members of the Board of Survey, which
was authorized at the last session of
Congress to study the whole situation.
1t is believed that the board will be
in readiness to make its report in
October or November and that it will
recommend 22-foot channel from ST.
Louis to the sea. With the Mississippi
River Commission already committed
to deep waterway from Cairo to the
gulf and the prospect Of an intelli-
gent, comprehensive and technical re-
port on the project from ST. Louis to
the gulf, there is every reason for be-
lieving that initiatory legislation for
the deep waterways will be secured, at
this session of Congress. AS is gen
orally known a survey has already
been made and a complete report is
in the possession of the government
for that portion of the deep waterway
from Chicago through the drainage
canal, Des PLANES and Illinois rivers
to ST. Louis.
With a Board of Survey outlining
the plan for the entire distance, ap-
preparations will be sought for the i'm
mediate starting of the work.

100000 MINERS QUIT
IN SOFT COAL STRIKE
Western Pennsylvania, Ohio and
Trans-Mississippi Men
Are Out.
LABoR1NG FOR SETTLEMENT.
Central Pennsylvania and Indiana
Pits in Operation and Peace Is
Considered Probable.

The long-threatened strike of the
soft coal miners of the United States
is on. Three hundred thousand miners
scattered over the country from Penn
sylvania on the east to Colorado on the
west and from Texas on the south to
Iowa on the north knocked off work on
April / to celebrate miners holiday.
OF this number approximately 100000
will not return to work until their diff
ficulties with the mine owners have
been settled
The men who struck work embrace
$1,000 soft coal diggers in Ohio; the
miners in Western Pennsylvania, num-
bering about $4,000; Southwestern Kan
sas, 10000; Arkansas, 5000; Texas, s.
600; Oklahoma, 1900; Missouri, TO-
600; Iowa, $4,000 Outside of Illinois,
Central Pennsylvania and Indiana are
the only big fields where work will not
be suspended.
The present strike is peculiar because
figure Working conditions which the
men have been -rying for years to bet
ter are the chief cauSes of the present
imbroglio.
Forty-fve thousand miners in West
ern Pennsylvania were out ON strike.
The operators in that section of the
country refused positively to make an
agreement with the miners and Presi-
dent Frank Feehan of that district is
sued orders for $4,000 men to walk out
and to remain out until further orders.
Owners and miners are agreed that
there will be no resumption of work
for thirty days at least The operators
want the abolition of the sympathetic
strike with the right of arbitration a.
all times guaranteed. They also want
the same differential between machine
and pick mining that is in force in Ohio,
Fl cents. In Western Pennsylvania it
is IA cents.
The Indiana operators and miners
except in the block coal district have
not as yet made an agreement, but they
Jointly decided to keep the mines rum
ming until they either agree to break
up.
Michigan operators and miners have
agreed to continue operations pending
negotiations for an agreement. Ken
lucky and West Virginia operators and
miners have made a similar agreement.
In the Southwest the suspension is
total. The miners had withdrawn their
demand for increased wages, but the
operators declined to make any con-
tract. The shutdown in the Southwest
affects Kansas, Arkansas, Texas, Okla

Iowa coal mining was also stopped
pending the. formation of a new work
ing agreement.

CHICAGO.

X q. Dun & Co.'S weekly review Of
trade IN the Chicago district says:
The recent improving tone in CONNER
cial affairs is sustained. although the de-
velopments this week were not entirely
harmonious. Judged by the volume of
payments through the banks running
slightly over those at this time last year
and a gratifying decline in the failures
reported there is evidence of recovery, but
conditions in iron and steel remain back
ward, and the suspension of coal mining
and the discouraging trend of currency
legislation at Washington rather interfere
with important undertakings.
Unsettled weather halted the expand
ing demand in leading retail lines, and,
while sales were good of housewares and
food products. rising temperature is need
ed to stimulate the demand for mems
and women's wear and millinery.
Forwarding of general merchandise
from the wholesale district exhibits a sea-
sonable volume, and mail orders for dry
goods, clothing. footwear and furniture
reach satisfactory aggregate, western
purchases of summer and fall staples be-
ing stronger. Country storekeepers where
warm weather prevailed have done a coed
business, and this will likely bring early
orders from those who stocked sparingly.
Manufacturing conditions disclose
some irregularity While agriculture and
the starting up of the stone and brick
industries afford increasing employment,
the supply of workers is excessive and the,
idleness of miners complexities matters
Building operations make progress and
add to resumption of machinery in wood
working branches. Lumber and building
materials reflect improved absorption,
prices have steadied for forest and quarry
products and there is more general de-
mand for hardware, wire and plumbing
supplies. but receipts of the principal raw
materials fall under those at this time
last year. and iron ore has not had the
usual winter depleti n.

Fire, which broke out early Friday in
the Corning Distillery Comoany's grist
Aaill, near Peoria, ILL.,, completely destroy
ed the mill and spread to tie adjoining
distilery. Owing to the fatt that the
plant is more than four miles from the
city, the city fighting apparatus could not
reach the scene before the blaze had made
great Roadway. The entire plant, includ-
ing the two immense bonded warehouses,
elevator, cattle yards and storehouses, was
entirely wiped out. Several explosions
occurred during the progress of the fire
and endangered the lives of the fremen.
About $4,000 gallons of spirits in the
still plant were consumed as result of
an explosion in the warehouse. A stam-
pede of 1900 cattle occurred shortly after
the first explosion and the animals ran
at large in the railroad yards. How the
fire originated is not known, but the
Waterman asserts it started IL the top
floor of the mill. The damage is placed
between $4,000 and $1,OO0,O00.
