CHICAGO BASIS TO FAIL

Starting q strike is a good deal
like starting a war. The thing
that started the world conflaSra-
ton attracted very little attention
at the time, save in some OF the
European chancellories. Some
territory was taken from the
Turks that had belonged to them
throughout the ages. Served
them rich, said most people, ii
they thought about the incident
at all. Now Downing Street
and the foreign officers generally,
are wondering ii there is too be
another world war, which will
take The survivors OF the other
one. Wars. like strikes, may be
started with the greatest ease, as
we were about to remark, but it is
another matter to say just where
they are to end.
There is some indication that
the Iewell-Willard plan is going
to fail as a peace restorer. 1t was
a group settlement at best, and
now there is some indication that
the group is to grow smaller, rath-
err than larger. The New York
Central. the Southern and the
Louisville and Nashville, all first
class systems, Unite in declaring
that representatives OF the shop
men are ringing in eXtraneous
matter, beyond and outside the
things contemplated in the Chi
cago basis of agreement. such as
that all new men employed to take
the places of the strikers be dis
charged at once. This the roads
have declined to do.
Nh along we have favored the
separate peace idea, but it seems
that even this is a thing difficult to
achieve. What is lacking, appar-
emily. is what Mr.. Wilson would
call a spirit OF accommodation.

New York did make loans to the
coal miners, but we were likewise
told that this was done largely for
humanitarian reasons-the fani-
lies OF the miners were in need Of
food. For these loans no security
was demanded by the banks.
This development did look a lit
tie strange. We trust, if New
York bankers are coming to be
good Samaritans, they will keep
it up. There is lot OF good they
might do in the world, if they are
looking for it, and if they are al
ways moved by their mobiles I'M
pulses. But it is just possible Mr.
Ford has some ideas OF his own
concerning this movement OF mon
ey from New York bank vaults to
the strong boxes Of the miners.

R;chmond-During the month OF

Cersors was inclined to view with

Hessian fly.
The late white potato crop has I'M
proved in some sections, and the yield
will probably be up to the average.
The Sweet Potato crop is turning out
fairly well and is steadily moving to
market, 1899 cars having been ship
ped to Sept. 8, compared with 1886
cars to the same date last year.
The season has been very favorable
for harvesting the large hay crops
of cowpeas, soybeans and fall grass
es. Pastures are generally very good.
There has been some little improve
ment noted in the peanut crop, but 1t
IS too late for any material change
to be made in yield, which will be less
than usual.
Excellent progress has been made
in harvesting the commercial apple
crop, which is now estimated to be
992,00O barrels Of which there are ap-
proXimately 397, 900 barrels of Yorks,
228,00O barrels of Pippins, $4,000
barrels Of Winesaps, $1,000 barrels
Of Bon Davis, 26,0O0 barrels of Stay
mans, 10000 barrels Of Black Twigs
and $4,000 barrels of other variet-
les such as Bonums, Grimes, Jonath-
ans, Rome Beauties, etc. Few sales
haye been made at the prices offer
ed. so q large part Of the crop is be-
ing stored by the growers.
Livestock is generally reported to
be in good condition, although there
is some complaint that cattle have
not fattened as well as usual. In some
sections there is considerable demand
for sheep.

FORD PLANTS CLOSED

Life appears to be just one thing
after another in the industrial
world, Just about the time 4 few
strikes are settled Henry Ford
closes down his works because coal
is not selling to suit him.
Other factory owners are not,
as we understand it, pursuing this
course. On the contrary other
manufacturers are going right
ahead and buying coal if they can
get it. and are paying the market
price, There are cries OF anguish
here and there, but as We have be-
fore remarked, others are payinS
the price. Are we to assume that
other manufacturers are better
able to pay the higher prices than
is Mr.. Ford?
We greatly tear that Alr. Ford
knows a great deal more about
business than do we, and there may
be 10 other course open to him
under the circumstances; but
while there are 4 great number OF
thinoS we do nor know ii Is 4 Sc
rious thing to throw all those thous
thousands OF people out OF EN-
plovment in Detroit and other CT

reflection; if MIR. Ford really has
good and valid reason for shut

although not quite as heavy as was
expected a month ago.
Most of the tobacco crop has now

unfavorable for barn curing and some
damage has been reported. The crop
is generally one of the best ever
