Disasters Are Frequent and There Is
Congestion of Merchandise In
Consequence.

NEW YORK, March 19.-Although de-
velopmentS of the last TWO days have
made a general strike OF teamstcrs in
New York and vicinity in sympathy with
the striking express drivers unlikely, the
situation is still tense.
The problem which pcrpleNed all the
big express companies last fall when they
went through a three weeks strike stil
remains unsolved for at least three OF
the companies Nearly 5000 men OF these
companlcs-thc Adams. the United States
and tho Wclls-Fargo-are now on strike.
In consequence there is congestion Of
merchandise. Besides this disorders are
frequent.
Last week there seemed IN be pros
poets OF AN adjustment through the aid
of Mayor Gaynor. Division between the
Manhattan and jersey City employees re-
suited in the failure OF the men 10 return
to work, as their leaders had promised.
pending settlement negotiations,
Manor Gaynor then denounced contin
IanCe OF the strike as .'lneXcusable and
brutal" and began sending out uniformed
policemen on every wagon.
BY virtue of the peace agreement the
conIpauios advanced the mems pay from
TO = per cent and agreed not To dis
criminate against union men. There has
been more or less talk ever since OF al
legged discrimination against participants
in the former strike.
The companies say large portion Of
their men want to work but are de-

altogether misleading, The country looks
much The same as auv stretch OF coun-
try looks anywhere in China Long
stretches of good rice fields just begin
ming to he green with winter wheat.
1T is only as we look closely and ask
questions that We find out the real state
of affairs. We look at the fields that
looked so prosperous, and we realize
that those fields were all under water
last summer. the fields OF over two mill
lion people and that the wheat we see
WIFI not be ready until June and before
that time unless help comes. the larger
