NEW BEDFORD COPS
 READY FOR ACTION
Hope Threat Against Peace Of City Will Pass
STRIKERS WANT PARADE
Petition Bearing 5000 Names Ask tng Right to March Is Presented to Mayor Charles Ashlcy-To Parade Anyway.

New Bedford. Mass, July 2s R,- Five hundred police backed by g company of militia and the possible Assistance of state constabulary were hopeful today that the biggest threat to the peace of this city since :S,oo0 textile operatives walked out 15 weeks ago might pass quietly but were ready to deal in summary fashion with untoward develop mentA
 The key to the situation was a petition said to bear 5000 names and demanding the right of certain elements of the strikers to parade today.
 It was to be presented to Mayor Charles s. Ashley sometime this morning and upon his approval or rejection depended the future course of the strikers who late last night were protesting that permit or no permit, they would parade.
 Situation Serious
 If parade is determined upon and attempted in the face of Mayor Ashleys refusal of a permit. ob- servers believed that a serious situa- tion would almost inevitably ensue. Matters were further complicated by the fact that the New Bedford textile council which is recognized as being the responsible labor body has yrarnnd ifS roa har o i'm Cf any part in the demonstration which was being arranged almost exclu- sively by the so-called radical" Textile Workers union.
 New Bedford's 800 city police had been augmented overnight by near ly 150 police drawn from other cities of the commonwealth and numer- ous deputy sheriffs and reserve of hcers.
 Considerable significance was seen in the fact that the 75 men sent from Boston were admittedly a picked force comprising many mem- bers of that city's riot squad under command of Captain Louis E. Lutz, drillmaster of the Boston depart ment.
 Cambridge contributed 25 men of ''strong-arm' squad calibre while Brcckton, Taunton. Somerville and Brookline had delegated 10 each.
 To Marshall Force
 The entire force was to be mar shalled by o'clock this afternoon when under original plans for the parade, the strikers were to move simultaneously from the south and north ends of the city to the com mon where a mass demonstration was planned.
 The possibility that state police might enter the scene was thought to rest in the conference at the state house in Boston yesterday be- tween Gov. Alvan T. Fuller and for ner T.. s. Senator William NJ. But Ter, who has long been connected with textile interests here. The governor later refused to discuss Mr. Buffers conversation except as 1t bore on political events.
 Under a precept issued by Mayor Ashley with the permission of Gov Fuller. Battery E of the 241st coast artillery which was preparing to de- part for Fort Wright Sunday was being held at the armory to await eventualities. Battery D of the 101 field artillery which did strike duty recently is now at Camp Devens while Battery r of the 241st coast artillery is under orders to leave Sunday for Fort Wright.

IMPROVEMENT DURING MONTH

point to q lighter crop of walnuts
than last season. Cotton planting
has begun with 80 per cent in.
crease in acreage anticipated for
the territory.
Preparations are being made for
the bean crop. 1t is likely that
much of the unirrigated area will
not be planted unless considerable
rain is received in April. The bean
markets have strengthened mater
tally since the first of the year.
Grain acreage probably exceeds last
year, but crop prospects have been
reduced by the lack of rainfall.
The Imperial valley cantaloupe crop
is largely planted. Estimated acre
age is less than either of the past
two seasons. Ranges and pastures
have deteriorated but livestock are
in good condition and the markets
are strong.
