Start NOn-UniOn
Truck Service
Traffic Bureau of the
Mere ants Association
Sends Out IL Wagons
Under Guard of Police

The merchants of the city made a
start yesterday on plan to organize
an opens shop trucking system, in view
Of the refusal Of the unionized truck
drivers to haul goods to and from piers
Of the coastwse lines where longsEore-
men are on strike.
A dozen trucks, manned by non anion
drivers, were assigned to piers on the
North River and removed merchandise
without molestation. J. c. Lincoln,
head of the traffic bureau of the Mer-
chants Association, declared that this
step was decided upon in view of the
large number Of independent trucKmen
who have volunteered to do the work
and to assist some tradesmen in obtain
ing urgently needed goods.
The formal organization of the
Trucking Service Committee decided
upon jointly by the various business
bodies of the five boroughs will begin
tomorrow, but the committee is not
expected to have the $50 trucks, which
they say they will need at first, in serv-
ice before the end of the week The
men worked yesterday under the pro-
lection of the police, which Mr. Lin
coin says has been more than ample,
but no policemen rode with the driv-
ers on the trucks. The number Of
vehicles will be increased daily.
Will Fight for Open Shop.
"We are going ahead with the pro-
gram" he added; "our one aim being
to move freight. If as result of this
the drivers unions call strike along
the entire waterfront, then we may as
well get down to brass tacks and make
1t a fight for the open shop"

ing of the truck owners to the side Of
the union drivers in the controversy.

about per cent of the entire traffic Of
the port was involved
The 10000 teamsters, however, have
enlisted the aid Of the Central Fed
Grated Union, comprising most of the
labor bodies in Manhattan. in the
threatened battle. The Federated Union
yesterday adopted the following resolu-
tion pledging its assistance to the
workers.:
"Whereas, the various organizations
OF employers are now combined to wage
war against the teamsters' unions for
their loyalty to the trade union move

from strike piers;
Grated Union commend the action Of
the teamsters for their refusal to aid in
ikebreaking and pledges itself to
give the teamsters every aid in defense
Of their organization"

Wheat Crop 1880
BelO1v Last Year
Yield of 484,649,OOO Bu.
Forecast by May l Esti-
mate; Farm, York Lags

WASHINGTON, May s. Winter
wheat production this year was fore
cast to-day at S4,647 900 bushels by
the Department of Agriculture, which
based it's estimates on conditions pre-
valing May l.. The crop showed a
slight Improvement from April l, the
forecast of production being 100000
bushels larger than estimated month
ago. Compared with last years crop
the prospective wheat crop has been
reduced 1873 per cent.
Abandonment of acreage during the
winter was little greater than in
average years, amounting to 11.9 per
cent, or s,605.000 acres.
On the basis of May l reports. 34,-
1885, 900 acres will be harvested this
year in comparison with nearly 49,000,-
900 acres last year.
Shortage of labor and backward
spring are believed to have resulted
in less abandonment than normally
would have taken place, farmers for
those reasons allowing the fields to
stand that otherwise would have been
plowed under and planted in other
crops.
Work on the farm generally is much
behind, owing to the cold and wet
spring. Flowing on May was only
col per cent completed, compared with
tenyear average of 7l.4 per cent.
Spring planting was 500 per cent
finished while normally it is SO per
cent done on May L.,
