The secret is out. The present
strike Of the 1000 BARRIERS in Man

plot Of a firm Of safety razor manu-
facturers, VINO. to gain their own selfish
ends, are willing that masculine New
York shall go unshaved until II decides
To use the hoe" razor, so-called.
Was ever a plot so diabolical hatched
before? The strikers profess to see The
fine italian hands Of the willy boss"
BARRIERS i'm this latest tonsorial up

Of the safety razor.
When a man discovers his favoritc

NO SCENERY: NO WORK
Shoe Factory Men Strike
Against Window Screens.
lBy Telegraph to The Tribune

Rockland Mass. July 23.-The most
unusual reason for going out on strike
was given when twenty-five men in
the finis..:ng room OF the Z. T. Wright
Company shoe factory quit work this
morning because their view of the
scenery surrounding the shop had been
shut of.
The firm recently put up screens of
white cheesecloth on the windows Of
the finishing department. The men pro-
tested that il cut off their view Of the
landscape and made working condi-
tions unpleasant.
To- day they brought the matter TO
a crisis by quitting work The firm has
had screens on the windows for six
years. but il was only recently that
those of white cheesecloth were put up.

Shuns Appearance OF Hostility.

1t Is clear. however. that the Presi-
dent hopes TO avoid tie appearance OF
hostility in dealing with Mexico and
that he clings to his purpose OF bring
ing about the establishment Of con-
stitutional government. II possible, be-
fore recognition Is accorded. That is
the plan rhich he purposes 10 lay be-
fore Ambassador Wilson on the latter's
arrival Washngt 70. II this course
Is followed assurances will be given
to Huerta and the constitutional lead
ers that il is the desire Of the United
States 10 assist in every way in &c
storing order and tranquility and that
the government which is able 10 pred
icate its existence upon an election
and the observances Of constitutional
requirements will be given support 20
the fullest possible extent.
No action will be taken II was said
to-day on the highest possible author
Ity. until the President has conferred
with Ambassador Wilson, which VIII
probabIy be next Saturday. and until
he learns from him the situation in
the southern republic. AS yet the adj
ministration is apparently unconvinced
that any reason exists for the recognl-
ton Of the Huerta government. At
the same time, the President. IL his
conference with Senator Bacon to-day
may be taken as an indication, is quite
willing 10 lend all possible aid 10 any
government which may be properly
recognized IL suppressing outlawry and
disorders and restoring peace.
II is the apparent purpose OF the al
ministration TO avoid anything That
savors OF hostility and TO adhere to the
rrcsent non commttal policy until
course OF action can be clearly defined.
President Wilson has determined that
70 faction in the present Mexican revo-
lution shall obtain arms or ammunition
from the United States and that neu-
traIitv must be observed in its strictest
sense.
No Arms for Huerta.
While the Mexican rebels have been
getting no arms heretofore, to-day's de-
velopments mean that the Huerta ad-
ministration will be deprived OF the
pfivilege previously accorded the Ma
doro government. and that the United
States will treat all sides alike in the
present dispute. Constitutionalists and
their sympathizers in this country have
asserted that IL the United States did
not virtually assist the Huerta govern
ment by selling it munitions of war
termination Of hostilities would be
possible.
Sentiment i'm favor Of new policy
grew In Congress 10 such extent that
to-day a canvass was made Of the COM
mittees dealing with foreign relations.
II was found that there would be little
objection TO repeating the joint resolu-
tjon of March II. 1872, giving the
President discretionary power to pro-
bibit exportations Of arms or munitions
of war to countries where domestic
violence existed but permitting nm TO

SPOT HOUSES ARE SELLERS

Just one hour before the cotton mar
ket closed yesterday the Government Is
sued its preliminary estimate OF the crop
Of 1918. placing the probable yield at
i6,677,000 bales, exclusive OF linters. On
tho publication OF the report the market
developed a surprising degree Of strength.
prices bounding up from "a to 81 points
from the level prevailing just prior to the
issuance OF the estimate. The rise ap-
peared to mystify market observers. par
ticularly as the estimate named a figure
quite rs high as generally expected. and
exceeding the average guess OF Cotton
Exchange members by about 10000 bales.
In comparing the detailed estimate with
those made by most Of the private au-
thorities some marked discrepancies are
disclosed. In this connection the report
was criticised for what was termed its
ridiculous figures for certain of the States.
Tho Georgia estimate OF 2.775.000 bales
was cited as an instance Of glaring in
accuracy, II being pointed out that the
most optimistic Of the experts have been
unable to credit that state with pro-
duction in excess Of 2.550.00o bales. The
figures Of certain other States. IL was
also averred. were unwarrantably low.
A fair number of selling orders were
released on the showing. but all the cot
ton offered was quickly taken. The mar
kee was bid UP rapidly by traders sup
posed to be acting for the leading bulls.
and this served to alarm the good sized
short interest that neglected to cover in
advance Of the estimate. With the mar
ket being carried above the profit taking
stare by the aggressive bidding the shorts
sought to cover and gave the advance
momentum. At the close Of the session
the active positions were ruling II to Is
points net higher.
Up to o'clock the market was a purely
waiting affair Local spot houses sold
rather heavily. causing n decline OF to
10 points In values There was also some
bear selling on London advices. reporting
declining trade activity in Great Britain.
To some extent the latter was Offset by
the expressed view Of n prominent Phila-
deiphia spot man who has recently re-
turned from Liverpool. He was quoted rs
saying that spinners abroad are heavily
short OF cotton, as they have rot Yet
covered their requirements for raw ma
terial against forward sales.
The into sight movement for the week
was 4S5.O42 bales. against 561341 bales
