POLICE AND STRIKERS FIGHT IN
THE NARROW STREETS.
Outbreak Followed Speeches by Aei-

Killed and Several Hurt.

London, Aug. 13.-Great Britain
appears tonight to be confronted by
grave labor movement, compared
with which the London strike lust
ended would be q small affair, To-
gether with street battles in Liver
pool of a most furious description
and serious riots at Glasgow comes
the news Of meetings Of the railway
employees at Liverpool. Glasgow, Man
chester. Bristol, Sheffield and other
large cities at which threats were
made of general strike Of all rail-
way men, transport workers and lock-
ers unless existing disputes are set
tied promptly and satisfactorily.
Everywhere the strikers were en-
couraged by the success Of the Lon
don strike TO take energetic steps to
secure better terms for their service.
In London itself both a railway and
street car strike still threatens.
The men held n meeting today and
discussed the situation, but have not
yet taken active measures for go
ing out.
A serious feature Of the situation
Is the deep resentment the strikers
display at the employment Of mill
tary and Of police from other towns
to mitigate the effects Of strikes on
the supply of food and other neces-
stiles. The Socialist party is doing
its utmost to fan this resentment.
At meeting Of 1000 London rail-
way men belonging to the Midland,
Great Central and Metropolitan lines,
1t was decided tonight to call a gen.
eral strike on all the railways and
tubes In the London district next
Saturday unless their grievances are
remedied in the meantime. 1t is
rumored that the London tramway
men also have sent an ultinatum TO
the county council.

All Of the employees were ut their

CONDITIONS ARE UNSETTLED,

EXPECTED THIS WEEK.
Fight Between Factions Endcayor.
Ing to Gain Control of Market Con.
unues, with Neither Side Making
Much Headway-EfYect of English
Labor Troubles on Situation-Crop
Scare Confidently Predicted.

New Orleans, Aug. 13.-The com
ing week in the cotton market will
probably see continuation Of the
erratic fluctuations Of the last few
Gays, chiefly because neither Of the
two big factions that have been try
ing to manipulate the market into
their control have been able to make
much headway. Manipulation, there
fore, and apparently unreasonable
fluctuations are to be expected.
In the opinion Of the cotton trade
on this side or the water-and the
opinion has been formed by special
cable message sent over by prominent
Liverpool houses-Monday will be
the critical time in the English labor
troubles. 1t has been threatened that
If no satisfactory adjustment between
employers and their men should be
brought about by the first Of this
week. a shipping lockout would be
declared.
Traders on the weekend, however,
were much encouraged over the
agreements reached on the London
docks and went home confident that
similar agreements would be made
at Liverpool: At the best, however,
the situation is uncertain. A bad
slump may be expected if a shipping
lockout is declared and the market
ought to do better If the labor trou-
hles are settled.
August is the critical period of
the growing season and the first two
weeks Of the month have passed
without any exceptional develop
ments either way. During the past
week there was some little COM
plant Of high temperatures and high
TEMPERATURES again this week would
have a few favorable effect on prices.
Should hot winds accompany high
temperatures in the West 1t would not
be surprising to see a crop scare de-
velop.
If the experiences of past seasons
is anything to go by. a crop scare is
bound to happen sooner or later, no
matter what the final outturn of the
crop is. This Is we'll known to the
older element in the market and
many experienced operators are close
ly watching the weather for signs of
anything unusual.
The period Of tropical storms is at
hand and at the end Of last week one
of these disturbances did more or
less damage in the south central Sec
tions Of the belt. These storms are
to be expected from now on. It looks
as If the movement Of new cotton this
week will be large enough to affect
statistics. If this happens, one Of the
weapons that the bulls have come to
look upon permanently as their own
Will be taken away from them.

MELEE FOLLOWED KILLING.
Strikers Dispersed Only to Gather
Again.

Again.
Liverpool, Aug. 13.-Serious riot
Ing growing out Of the strike In
progress here occurred this afternoon.
One policeman was killed by being
struck on the head with a brick and
many persons were injured.
An alteration between police
man and striker during a transport
workers demonstration at st. George S
hall started the trouble, which culmi-
mated in a general melee. When, af-
ter this disorder had been put down
and the strikers dispersed, they
gathered again in the Islington quar-
ter and resumed their attacks on the
officers with serious results.
One hundred thousand men were
gathered In groups about St.
Georges hall listening to speeches by
labor agitators. and the scene Of vio-
lence following the attack on the
policeman necessited the calling out
of police reserves. When they ar
rived one party OF Is policemen were
surrounded and disarmed the rioters

tons. In the fight the commanding

wounded.

So great was the disorder that the
riot act was read and troops were
called out to assist the police. The
mob fought desperately with stickks
and stones, and. in fact. with any
handy missile. Gradually, however,
by the combined efforts of the troops
and police, the crowds which were
surrounding seven speakers plat
