In discussing the situation Governor Stanley says “The present drouth throughout the west has been very injurious and in Kansas worked a practical destruction of the corn. There are certaln portions of the state where corn is in fair condition and with seasonable rains Kansas might produce 50,000,000 bushels, but the latter part of July and the month of August is always a trying period for the corn and very Ifttle hope may now be entertained for this crop. It may as well be considered a substautial tailure | “But with the corn crop wholly elim- ipated, the state is in better shape this year than in many past years, and while the comparison affords no particular cause for encouragement, it affords no ground for discouragement. The value of our wheat this year will be equal to or greater than that of last year, which, in round numbers was $42,000,000. Our live stock products will be at least $60,000,000, alfalta and other forage crops $5,000,000, hay and grasses $2,000,000. This makes a total of $100,000,000 for farm products, not counting corn, oats, potatoes, fruft and other things of which considerable quantities wil be pro- duced.” UNUSUAL SUMMER Brital Eleven Yes ABROAD Great terceat Henat in «, but Frost in Austrian Alps.

PITTSBURG, Pa., July 18.--Moat of all news regarding the ste work« strike that reached Pittsburg today was the action of the men employed in Duncansville plant of the American Steel Hoop cor any A telegram was received by President Shaffer from the men the morning usking If th should strike The message was e for the Amaly mated peopi were not looking (o this news o soon. Presldent Shaffer an swere: telling the men not to come out umless they were organized. 1f organized, they should strike, for th were needed. In the afternoon a telegram was re celved from Duncansville asking that an organizer be sent to them at ouce. I com pllance with this request Vi President Johu Plerce started for Duncansville this evening to complete the organization. The Duncansville plant is the last of the hoop plants to remain at work and the Amalga- mated assoclation officials say if they are successful In closing this plant they will be masters of the situation as far as the steel hoop company is concerned at least The action of the Ohio board of arbi- tration in offering to bring about a settle- ment of the strike created some talk today in steel circles. M. M. Garland president of the Amalgamated assoctation and at present collector of the port, said that he did not consider the action of the Ohto board unusual, but rather the carrylng out of its duties as such a board. It is the duty of that board to offer its services whenever labor trouble starts that affects the industries of that state. In view of this fact Mr. Garland could ot see where the troubles were more liable to settlement now than before. I cannot see what there is in this question to arbitrate,” he said. “The question can- not be settled except by the complete back- down of one side or the other on a matter of principle.” impors ta ers as they former as One Caune of Uneasine; The situation ‘hroughout this district re- mains practically as announced earlier in the day. In the immediate vicinity of Pittsburg the evident intention of the com- pany to attempt the rcopenlug of the Dewees-Wood plant at McKeesport is the only incident so far calculated to cause uneasiness. The notices posted today wera placed with probable expectation of se- curing the early return to town of many of the workers who have gone on fishing and other vacatlon trips. The men claim to be confident that enough men cannot be secured to operate the mill and say no opposition will be made to any who may wish to go in. The police authorities, though, going on the principle that in time of peace it fs well to prepare for war, have taken every precaution and feel prepared to_cope with any trouble that may arise The present center of the trouble seems to be at Wellsville, O., where a public mass meeting was held this afternoon for the purpose of presenting both sides of the controversy to the citizens. The entira district contributed attendance at the meeting and number of speeches were made, the principal one being that of President Shaffer of the Amalgamated as- soclation, Another meeting will be held ta- morrow. President Shaffer's Speech, President Shaffer said It has been stated that the workmen of Wellsville arc on a strike. 1 do not like the term. It seems the only word, how- ever, which will properly express the pr t condition of affairs. Many of the older workmen present who have worked with me in the rolling mills know what the word strike means. In those old ¢ wa used to close the mills, throw out pickets, guard the rallway depots and lay in a good supply of intoxlcating spirits, thus priming ‘for mischief and depredations of any sort. 1f persons came to take our pe | sitlons they were beaten and sent out town. We do differently now People ellsville, “there ‘must be no drinklng here, especially in the next few weeks. The eyes of the entire laboring and business world are centered on Wellsville, which seems to be @ storm center i must commit no overt act, nor do anythin that would be considered unbec Zina g00d citizen.
