NEW ORLEANS COTTON LETTER
(From J. F. Clark & Co.,
hy he Silyerl

NEW ORLEANS, La, March q
Liverpool developed larger reaction
with near futures as much as SO down
and new crops as much as 25 lower
than due while spots are quoted AZ
down. Sales 1000 bales.
The reasons for this decline in the
English market are several. The
greater part of remaining needs for
the season are believed to be held in
storage on our side, ready for ship
ment.
Cables last week stated that strad-
die commitments with our side are
being liquidated because of the small
certificated stocks of our contract
markets. This liquidation implies the
buying of futures in our markets and
selling in Liverpool and consequent
ly explains both the support in our
markets and decline in the English
markets.
Sterling advanced this morning to
345 ga which allows shrinkage in
parity between the markets. Feeling
easy on supply for this season there is
natural tendency towards settle
ment on price opinion of a new and
future situation.
First trade here were at a decline
of ten to 20 points in sympathy with
the reaction in Liverpool, but there
was no real pressure to sell and the
market rallied about ten points. Ii
quidation of straddles with Liverpool
was a supporting factor.
There is talk Of tenders being in
readiness for the time that interest is
efficiently reduced in the regular
course of liquidation- Developments
in the direction of spot demand and
the new crop start will decide the is
sue. In the meantime the market
seems a waiting scalpers proposition.
The weather map shows cloudy in
the Southeastern quarter, fair rest OF
the belt, weather generally. The out
look is for increasing cloudiness, war
mer probably unsettled and some rain
over the Nosthwest quarter.

tiOns at Big Hotels

A campaign against the wiilful waste
Of food will be started Immediately by

Mayor Hylan.
"Wi'lful waste" in addition to being

code Of ordinances, 1t was pointed out
yesterday by Mrs. Louis r. Welzmllies.
Deputy Commissioner Of Markets. who
will have charge of the campaign.
Mrs. Welzmiller's first step will be
to get the housewives together and
show them the wickedness of waste
and teach them how to save. In this
connection she has arranged with
August Jansen, President of the So
ciety of RestaUrateurs, for demon
strations at some of the large hotels
of how palatable dishes can be pre-
pared from foodstuffs ordinarily con-
sidered waste.
Mr.. Jansen has made a careful
study Of food waste in this city. He
recently made an investigation here
and found that some people, notably
the wel-to do, are very careless in the
matter of food waste. An inspection
of the garbage cans on Riverside Drive
from Seventieth to Ninetieth Street,
he said, showed that the housewives of
that district were extremely negligent
in this matter, the cans disclosing all
kinds of foods barely nibbled at

No Change in Baltimore
The strike situation in the Balti-

Dispatches from Syracuse reported

railway switchmen and yard train men
are on strike in that city-200 on the

Hope of Early
Award Checks
Rail Strikers
Brotherhood Chiefs Issue
Appeal Against New Walk
Outs, Saying Wage Board
Decision Is Due July 9
Signs of Unrest Increase
Port Employees Circulars
Call for Mass Moves
to Overthrow Capitalism

Further signs OF unrest developed
yesterday among railway workers as
result of their dissatisfaction with the
failure of the Railroad Labor Board to
meet the wage increases demanded by
the brotherhoods.
Preparations for action in the event
the present scattered walkouts grow
into an epidemic similar to that which
swept the country last April were be-
ing made by railway workers, the rail
road companies, merchants and ship
pers and the government at Washing
ton. Rumors were afoat here yester-
day that the four railroad brother
hoods, no longer able to restrain their
men, are preparing for a general rail-
road strike to be proclaimed July l.,
unless the award of the Railroad Labor
Board is made by that date.
A complete report on the railroad
strike situation was laid before Presi-
dent Wilson at yesterdays cabinet
meeting at the White House by Secre-
tary of the Interior Payne, acting in
his capacity as director general of the
railroad administration. Action was
delayed after Secretary of Labor Will
son had declared the situation was so
improved that steps by the govern
ment were unnecessary.
Cabinet to Defer Action
The general opinion in the Cabinet
was that since the wage award of the
Railroad Labor Board, when made,
would be retroactive to May /, other
action would be unnecessary, unless
the strikes took more serious turn.
Secretary Payne's report on the stu
alton was prepared after conference
with ". n Doak, vice president of the
.Rrotherhood OF T'rainmen, and other
labor headers.
Despite the rcassurtng statement
presented to President wilson and the
Cabinet by Secretary OF Labor Wilson,
however, officials at Washington con-
tinued their close watch upon all rail-
road centers and all activities of agita-
tors seeking to provoke serious stop
page Of work on the railroads of the
country. The officials are relying upon
the leaders of the bona tide railroad
organizations to keep their men in
check. Special attention is being paid
by the government to the movement
said to have been initiated by the |. W.
w. for conv ention of railroad men in
Chicago, June 90, for the purpose Of
forming one big union of railroad en-
.p!oyees, the aim of which would go far
beyond the problems of hours and
wages and would affect the very foun-
dation of the operation of the coun-
try's railroads.
A direct connection between the
movement for the one big union and
the transportation situation in New
York City was seen yesterday in the
distribution of incendiary circulars
among port and railroad employees
by an organization which signed itself
The Central Revolutionary Council of
America"
Portions of the circular were read
yesterday by William Fellowes Nor

Waterbury Quiet;
Police Guns Keen
Strikers on Move
Three Raids Made to Break
Up Workmen's Meetings;
Parade Promised To-day
at Riot Victims Funeral

WATERBURY, Conn, June 2.-In
spite of the nervous tension following
the riot yesterday, in which one striker
was killed and two police lieutenants
were seriously wounded, Waterbury
was quiet today, there being no re-
newed outbursts precipitated by the
strike
Policemen with riot guns kept guard
in the streets of the city and broke
up every group OF strikers or any i'm
promptu meeting held in the streets
on in halls.
Three raids were made on halls,
where it had been reported that
strikers had gathered. No arrests were
made, however, the police being salts
fed with breaking up the meetings.
Military law prevailed round City Hall,
where troopers challenged every one
who had no official business.
Police Edict to Be Tested
To test the validity of the police
edict prohibiting any further meeting
of strikers in the city, the striking
machinists of Local 313, international
Association of Machinists, will hold
meeting in the Building Trades Coun-
Gil Hall at 10:30 o'clock tomorrow
OIIlCldllY
tonight,
Under the Constitution of the
United States we have perfect right
to hold public meetings." Joseph Tone,
organizer of the International Associ-
alton of Machnists, stated.
We have held every meeting in the
OPEN he said, "and have never closed
She doors during our proceedings. No
body can question anything we have
done during the strike, and we can
truthfully say that we have played the
game fair and square. AS long as
there is a law in this state we will
abide by it. But ! don't think any
body can question our right to hold a
meeting at this time
Will parade at Funeral
The funeral of Alberto Tiso, the
striker who was killed during the
pitched battle between the police and
the plckets near the plant of the SEQ
viii Manufacturing Company, will be
made the occasion for n parade by the
said to-day that large delegations from
the machinists and the New England
" orkers' Association would turn out to
attend the funeral
The coffin will be carried by strikers
from the home of Tiso's parents. SO
Winchester Avenue, to the Old St.
Joseph's Cemetery.
Some anxiety is being felt over the
probable attitude of the strikers dur
ing the funeral, but the police author
itles have taken ample precautions tc
cope with any situation that may arise
The fact that the strikers viii follow
the funeral cortege may constitute a
parade. A condition which is pro
hibited by the local authorities just
now.
