was plentiful. Mr.. Johnston
had devoted his life to the up
lift of professional fighting,
and Mr.. Walker aided him.
In the days when the states
man walked like mortal among us.
Mr.. johnson was recognized as a
person to be cultivated, because he
knew what was best for everybody,
and people used to cultivate him.
Mr.. johnson had a real cultivation
complex. A word from him. he
used to tell the people who did not
cultivate him, would cultivate them
right out of the proper cultivation.
When Mr.. Jack Sharkey came to
New York, to make his fame and
fortune, Mr.. Johnson sent him a
cultivation prospectus, and Mr..
Sharkey, knowing his oats, cult
waited him for ten per cent of his
purses. Later Mr.. Sharkey with
drew from Mr.. Johnson's cultivation
farm because, as ne asserted, Mr..
johnson had not cultivated enough
money for him. There was some
conjecture about his withdrawal,
however, when soon after Mr..
Sharkey fought Phil Scott in Flor
ida. It happened that Mr.. Scott
was one Of Mr.. Johnson's cultiva-
tons, and here we're two fighters
cultivated by him engaged in a con-
test.
IN those days no cultivators sang
better to each other than did Mr..
johnson and the Boxing Commits
sion. 1t was the Boxing Commits
sion, indeed, which looked out for
Mr.. Sharkey's interests so well,
while he was under Mr.. Johnson's
cultivation. It even went to the ex-
tent of electing Mr. Sharkey heavy
weight champion of the world.
This kind of cultivation by the
Boxing Commission, naturally, was
q great pleasure to Mr.. Walker. He
often, in fact, used to express his
pleasure. 1t was no secret that he
regarded Mr.. johnson as an intel
lectual man and one who always
slept the sleep of the just. From
this came the rumor that Mr..
Walker was a partner with Mr..
johnson in the cultivation process.
DOCKING COMMISSIONS, how
~ ever, are but mortal and prone
to forget the heroes of yesteryear
1T happens now that Mr.. Walker is
a hero Of yesteryear, And Mr..
johnson, alas, is no longer cult
waiting power. It seems that he is
a Democrat, as the constituents of
Tamn1any Hall call themselves. and
Fusion is now in power, if one
wishes to speak so crudely; and

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, June 90
AS 700 coal miners come out on
strike over the heads of the United
Mine Workers Of America officials,
a n W wave of dynamiting

another striker, Joe Simmons.
Deputies subsequently placed
charge of carrying concealed
weapon" against Simmons.
The other blast was at the home
of Brucie Turner, Negro woman,
near Leeds. She has had no part
in any of the strikes. Leeds is
the coal mining town where po-
lice murdered Ed England, Negro
picket, and wounded Gordon Bice,
white youth, during the coal strike.
Meanwhile William Mitch, dist
riot secretary of the U. M. w. A.,
admitted that the strike of the
coal miners in the mines Of the
Moss and Mccormack Company,

headquarters" There are num-
Der of demands raised by the
strikers, the main one being for
higher wages. The strikers charge

About half dozen local trade

unions are scheduled to meet this

Monday evening the I. S. U. leaders
called meeting at which only

RAILROADS FACE
MOUNTING COSTS
Higher Freight Charges as
Solution Called Prob
Iematical.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special DlSpaLCn TO Inc 6bhEs
NEW YORK, July 2s.-In q study
of the effect OF the recently enacted
compulsory pension bill on railroad
earnings, Theodore Prince & Co.
states that: "The pension bill viii
add about $4,000 annually to
railroad expenses, the restoration Of
the wage cut will increase operating
costs approximately $156, 900 900 a
year and increased costs of materials
will add about $1S7 ,000, 900 year to
operating expenses, or a total Of
$325, 600, 900.
"It is obvious that the railroads
need a higher level Of revenues TO
meet these additional charges but
that higher freight rates win be the
solution, appears problematical."
The survey considers "the answer
to the problem to lie in the extent
and rapidity of the business recovery" !"
In support of this viewpoint it is
mentioned that If $50 per cent of the
increased gross is carried to net, it
would take roughly a 81 per cent in
crease in 1888 gross, or only the 1891
level of revenues, to Offset increased
costs"
The comment is made that should
the recovery movement gain momen-
tum and railroad traffic have a
greater than seasonal increase this
Fall, the adverse factors In the cur
rent railroad picture could give way

TOBACCO FAVORED
WITH i. S. fruit
Tariff Bargaining Is Likely
to Benefit These Staples
Greatly.
BY CHARLES p. SHAEFFER,
Associated Press Financial writer.


American fruit and tobacco were
described today by Department Of Az
riculture officials as being In highly
favorable position for gains from tariff
bargaining with other nations.
Officials said the reciprocal tariff
act offers immense possibilities for In
creasing exports OF agricultural prod
ucts, but that there are tremendous
obstacles in the pathway.
Meanwhile, the Commerce Depart
ment said exports of farm machinery
from this country during the first half
of 1894 were valued at SHOOTS, 1853,
compared with $5,428,377 in the cor
responding period last year, an s5.7
per cent gain TO q record high since
1881.
Foreign shipments of tractors and
parts comprised the bulk Of the ex-
ports. amounting to nearly 54 per cent
of the total.
AS for fruit, agriculture officials ex-
planned trade barriers had had but lit
tie effect on production In importing
countries, hence the demand still
existed.
The United States was said to pos
sess important advantages IN the pro-
duction of certain types Of tobacco.
It was explained also that, since high
duties and other import restrictions
had played prominent parts In the ex-
port situation, that tariff negotiat tions
should prove profitable.
For cotton. the principal export, the
determining factor was given as chiefly
purchasing power rather than trade
barriers. Trade barriers against this
commodity have been erected by only
one country-Germany.
For the five years, 1926, United
States agricultural exports averaged
81, ,954. 600, 600 annually. In 1888 the
total was 1894 900 900.

DECREASED PROFIT
MARGINS STRESSED
Second d-Quarter Earnings Make
Good Showing, but Wall
Street Cites Trend.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, July 2s.--while many
Of the second-quarter earnings re-
ports which have been published the
last two weeks make a very favorable
showing, they have been duds as far
as arousing bullish sentiment is con-
cerned.
Wall Street, in a pessimistic mood,
has placed more emphasis on the
trends toward smaller profit margins
shown in reports Of several Leading
corporations and ON the prospect that
third-quarter reports probably will be
poor, rather than ON substantial
gains in earnings disclosed by most
corporations that have reported for
the Spring period.
Analysis of the reports shows that
manufacturers and distributors of
packaged goods and utilities have
suffered particularly from lowering
of profit margins resulting from
higher costs.

NEW YORK, July 2s.-Automobile
production finally has joined most Of
the other major barometers Of in
dustrial activity in falling behind

A year ago business was Just be-
ginning to show the first signs of
tapering Of after its phenomenal June
and July expansion. Hence the year.
to-year comparison now does not have
much significance.
However, Cram estimates this

the result of decline Of GAIT units
from the preceding week, has fallen
behind 1888 by 5.013, the second time
since last January the output has
been below that Of the corresponding

Moreover, it was noted, present in

will lag behind that Of August, 1888,

ATLANTA, July 2s.-The brick
layers and carpenters teamed to-
gether In June to keep the building
industry on the upswing, despite a
slackening In the pace experienced by
other lines of activity In the South.
Building permits In 20 cities In
creased 227 per cent over the previ-
Gus month and represented a boost
of 58.5 per cent over June, 1888, the
monthly review of the Sixth District
Federal Reserve Bank reported today.
For the third consecutive month
the value of building permits In the
district showed an increase over the
previous 80 days, although minus
signs caused by seasonal inactivity
were numerous all down the line.
The $11, 500, 900 total for the first half
of 1884 was a hike of $50 over the
first six months Of building activity
last year.
Contract awards totaling $9.0l5, ,961
were 1919 per cent under May but
were 112.3 greater than a year ago
and, for the first half of the year,
were 1885 above 1888.

sales eased of 1873, while June sales
of wholesale firms were on 81 per
