Slow Down in Business
:. Strike Sequence in Texas
BY L v. SHANNON.


Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW ORLEANS, July 26.-Fatlure
to end the coal and railroad strikes.
and reaction in the cotton market
have combined to slow down business
throughout this section. The reaction
in the cotton market is due primarily
to authoritative predictions that the
world will still hold 100000 bales
of last years cotton crop at the time
this years crop begins to move. ana
fear that the next government report
Will indicate a prospective yleld ap-
proximating 100000 bales.
An Improvement in the crop OF
from 100000 to 100000 bales Is
very unusual event. and the south is
waiting to see the effect on the mar
ket. should these estimates be con-
flrmed officially the 1st of August. A
month ago the government reports
indicated crop around 100000
bales. and the public has been an.
ticipating that the carryover would
not exceed 2.5O0.000 bales.
Europe is now taking slaves IN
normal quantities for the first time
since the war. AS result of these
exports, the stave industry, one OF
the largest in this state. is again ac-
tive. Many thousands OF workers
have been re-engaged in the stave
factories and one of the largest ex-
porters has floated loan of $1,000
900 for the purpose of increasing
output.

carpenter work for ten dwellings at
Brighton Avenue and Main Street and
as soon as these houses are finished

ehitect.
The work on these houses was
started last Wednesday. They are to

completed.
This development together with
others in the vicinity, will make the

Drilling Freights
With More Caution
Reading Railroad Superintend-
ent Promises Trainmen Will
Exercise More Care.

Interruption of traffic on Main
street, at the Reading Railroad cross
ing, will be less frequent than it has
heretofore been, because of a letter OF
complaint which was sent to Superin-
tendent Lewis a few days ago by
Mayor Thomas f. Crawford. A reply
to the letter has been received by the
Mayor in which Superintendent Lewis
promises that engineers and other
trainmen will use more care In future
when engaged in switching cars from
one track to another, and that they
will not block the street for long peri
DDS as they did before the complaint
was made.
Mayor Crawford was aroused to
action a short time ago when a drill
ing freight caused a great congestion
of automobiles and wagons on Main
street, in both directions from the
tracks, and also on Washington ave-
nue.. About a hundred machines were
held up for a period of probably TWEEN
ty minutes, and when they started to
move they all wanted to get away at
one time, making the danger of acct
dent great. Main street is badly con-
gested most of the time, even when
the railroad crossing gates are not
down, but when they shut off traffic
for a few minutes the line of automo-
biles sometimes reaches for several
blocks.

FORGOTTEN FLAGS GIVE
WOMAN HURRIED TRIP.

Mrs. Emil Shappell, wife of the
Scoutmaster of Troop 7, Boy Scouts,
of this city, proved herself a friend
of the Troop when she raced the auto
truck her husband was driving, loaded
with scouts, along the White Horse
Pike, catching it near Camden and
giving the Scouts aboard their troop
flags and a large silk American flag
that had been left at the scoutmaster's
home on Doughty Road when they
hurriedly started on their annual out
ing.
The troop left at 6 o'clock Monday
morning for Camp Fralinger. Through
an oversight the troop flags and the
American flag that are absolute ne
cessities while in camp, were left be-
hind. A little later Mrs. Shappell dis
covered the flags. She at once went
to the garage, took out the touring
car, and putting the flags inside, gave
the truck, which had two hours start,
a race to the Quaker City, catching it
before it had reached the big town.
She was received with cheers upon
her arrival when she gave the boys
the flags and started home again. The
scoutmaster and scouts then continued
on their way to camp, arriving late in
the afternoon.
