NEW YORK. July 13.--The move

belt. covering about 100000 acres in
west and northwest Texas and 1.00G,-
600 to l .J00.000 acres i'll Oklahoma,
has experienced a severe early season
drought. This, for the time at least,
has acted as a discourager of putting
new land into cotton.
The Texas and Oklahoma territory
has had for some time a most decided
advantage over tho older cotton Gis-
tricts. One man could cultivate 100
TO 200 acres. the cost of fertilizer was
minimized since the soil was virgin.
the cost of picking was light since

perts will have a tendency to curtail
acreage.
The drought, floods and weevils
have combined to hold down the 1877

even if acreage is reduced, the amount
accruing the planters in general does
not seem likely to suffer materially as
compared with 1926.

chairmen from the cloak shops met In
Manhattan Lyceum, &c East Fourth

called together by an impartial COM

failed to appear and refused to come
even when waited upon by commit
tee sent from the meeting.
Demand Retractlon.
The resolutions, drafted by the ex-
ecutive committee Of so, were dis
cussed from the floor by various shop
adopted. They called upon Sigman to
rescind his expulsion order, and to
allow the regular elections to the joint
board to be held, since they are now
overdue. In case Sigman should not
comply with this demand, the shop
chairmen voted to place elections in
charge of the executive committee of
so and a similar committee of 20 shop
chairmen from the dressmakers.
These two committees, elected at
mass meetings of shop chairmen, were
instructed to invite the American
Civil Liberties Union or some other
impartial body to oversee the cleo
lions.

ment by noon Wednesday, JAM 5, as
to whether or not the manufacturers
intend to renew their agreement with

The agreement which expired Jan.

by the executive committee upon rec

This bottling up process of the

state in permitting arms to be sent

to the liberals is objectionable" de-
clared Senator Wheeler.
Drop Mask.
His former statements to the eff
feet that we were not going to take
sides in Nicaragua apparently were
given out for the purpose Of deceiving
the American people, but by reason of
the success of the liberals he has been
forced to drop the mask.

to deceive the public on this question
have shown him to be entirely incom-
petent for the position he holds"
