condition except in the southern and
western portions of the belt.

normal in the cotton belt, especially
in the GENITAL and western portions,

ties, particularly in the eastern and
the more western sections. The crop
made fair to very good progress in
Texas. g.
"The nights were somewhat too cool
In Arkansas, but very good advance
was reported in general from that
state, although conditions varied
greatly. The progress of the crop
was very good in Tennessee and fairly
good in the. Carolinas, although field
work was delayed in the latter area
by frequent rainfall.
Fair progress was reported also
from the southern division Of Geor-
gia, although the week was generally
unfavorable in that state on account
Of excessivefrainfal the fields were
boggy, the land washed, and farm
work impossible.
Conditions were unfavorable also
in Alabama Mississippi and Okla
honias where It was too cool and wet
and cotton made poor progress In

DENIES THAT
MEN WILL QUIT

Chicago, June 7.-Declaring that
there is no talk of a strike among
railway workers, the presidents of
six Chicago roads tonight issued a
joint statement charging that all
threats of walkouts were being in
spired by union leaders.
The statement, which was signed
by H. E. Bryan of the Chicago, Mil.
waukee st. Paul, Hale Holden of the
Burlinbton, w. H. Finley of the
Northwestern, J. E. German of the
Rock Island, C. H. Markham of the
Illinois Central, and S. M. FELTON,
Of the Chicago Great Western, fol-
lows in part:
Threats Of strike, made by lead
ers Of the railroad labor unions, are
appearing with such frequency that
the time seems opportune for ques-
tioning the }soundness of their talk.
There is very good reason for
doubling whether the men themselves
that is, the railway employees, really
are in sympathy with resistance tc
the decision of the United States rail-
way labor board.
1.-THE truth is that the men have
been expecting a reduction in their
wages and have made or are making
preparations to meet the new scale
There is no talk of strike among the
men. The disturbing statements read
by the public are prepared by leaders
of the unions, whose viewpoint has
been distorted by months of effort be-
fore the board to resist the inevitable
downward trend of wages. The EN-
eployees, on the other hand, are in the
main sincerely interested in taking
care of their jobs and homes, and few
employees in any industry have more
good reasons for doing so.
G"B. M. Jewell, spokesman for these
railroad labor unions, has severely
scriticized the decision of the railroad
board in awarding the reduction in
wages of shop employees. Jewell
says the decision will cause en-
sployees to believe the board is mot
an impartial court created to help the
railroads carry out their labor policy
He attacks the. wage award also on
the ground that the proposed scales
are lower than the average family ac-
scording to American standard.
The public should not overlook the
lfect that iH deciding the. propQsed
wages OF these emplo loyees, nfai1ite.
nance of way and shop, the labor
board, which is government body
said, After the reductions made un-
der this decision these employees
on the railroads will still be receiving
as rule a wage in excess of that
paid to similar employees in other in
dustries.' The board held in it's opin-
ion that measured by the present cost
of living, the average hourly wage OF
machinists, for instance, after July
4, will still have 10 per cent more
purchasing power than in December
1917; those of the carmen 46 per cent
more purchasing power, and those OF
common laborers 45 1-2 per cent
That is to say, measured by the cost
Of living, their wages will still bt
these percentages higher than at tht
end of 1917"

Sees NO NEED
OF AN INQUEST

No inquest will be conducted into
the deaths of walter s. Jones and
John Wages, ST., both victims of de-
natured alcohol poisoning, according
to Coroner J. B. Scott, John Wages,
Jr., who was also poisoned by the
denatured alcohol, continued to show
improvement yesterday and it is ex-
pected that he will recover.
John Wages, Sr. go died at his
residence, 1907 Williams street, at b
o'clock Monday night and Walter S.,
Jones, 45, succumbed to the poison
at the Columbia hospital at noon
Tuesday. The funeral of Mr.. Jones
will be held at the Elmwood ceme-
terry at 3 o'clock this afternoon, the
funeral services to be conducted by
the Rev. Mr.. Cain. The funeral of
John Wages, ST., was held at the
residence on Williams street at 3
o'clock yesterday afternoon, inter
ment following in Elmwood cemetery.
"There is no law to prevent the
sale of denatured alcohol, no more
than there is any law against the sale
of carbolic acid" Coroner Scott said
yesterday. The bottles, from which
the two men took their fatal drinks,
were both labeled Poison and any
man drinking from them must have
done so at his own risk. Denaturej
alcohol is no more a beverage than
concentrated lye,, but despite this fact
it appears to be used more or less
generally as O. sales.--future for grain
alcohol, since It can easily be pur-
chased from practically every drug.
