The path of the cyclone was 124 miles

NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.

New York, Sept. 27.-There was Il
very feverish two hours Of trading on
h stock exchange today, which
seemed principally due TO a contest be-
tween opposing speculative interests.
The pool operations which were respon-
sible for yesterdays sharp upward
movements were again I'm evidence at
the opening, but the high prices made
rae renewei heavy liquidation,
induced by misgivings. that the bank
statement would fail to reveal the re-
cuperation which was expected yester-
day.
There was a heavy break in prices,
in progress, when the bank statement
appeared. showing a surplus reserve
re~-estabiished of SO. 236, SIS. The bull
operators, thereupon turned upon their
opponents and marked up prices half
TO one point at = jump. so hat the
level of the market was sent back to
nea last night level, and in some
cases above. This was followed by
another relapse, which carried some
stocks lower than before and made the
closing feverish and unsettled.
Louisville suffered to the extent of
4 1+2 in the late break owing to the
uncertainty whether the minority
stockholders are allowed to share in
the terms which IL Is reported will he
offered for control by the Atlantic
Coast Line syndicate .
st. Paul suffered an extreme loss for
over four points on account of deniaIs
by officials of published reports of a
proposed stock subscription right.
The dominant influence was the
money situation. The increase OF 81

was a total surprise. in view of an in
dicated decrease OF about "a. 000.0 900. On
the other hand, the oar contraction

been looked for. The source of the
cash increase was IN unexplained mys-

The labor world. [volume] (Duluth, Minn.) 1896-current, 1902-12-06

The wage earners Of this country
will read the Presidents message with
much delight and they have reason.
Surely they have a friend in Mr.. Rose
Welt such as they have not had afor-
etime-power, inclination and inten-
ton being given due weight.
The president believes in federation
of capital and Of labor but recognizes
that while such federation can do good
it can, Of necessity, do evil. He urges
arbitrary or tyrannou3 interference
with the rights of Others" Then he
speaks words of high commentator
for those representatives of both cap
ital and labor "who work continually
to bring about a good understanding,
based upon wisdom and upon broad
and kindly sympathy between the en-
ployers and the employed"
A little below we have one of the
epigramatic hits when hesays that in
good government I'VE are neither for
the rich man as such, nor for the poor
man as such; we are for the upright
man, rich or poor"
Apropos as to what he has to say
about labor and capital the President
HpB7IlB SOU lgql Il!q 10 '7snoH eu3
passed the Senate creating the depart
ment of the Secretary of Commerce.
He would seem to urge amendment
so that this secretary shall have even
wider powers than those contemplated
in the Nelson bill and within the pur-
view of his portfolio should be brought
questions affecting capital and labor
and their relations to each other in
employment.

all the babbling fools Of little wit.
"McVeagh, attorney for the Penn
sylvania company, performed that feat
when he argued before the coal COM
mission that he began working four
teen hours a day when he was boy
and had been working more than ten
hours a day ever since. Therefore If
the miners would work ten or twelve
hours day instead of eight they
would get ahead SO much faster.
For one thing it is an economic
falsehood. In all labor history better
wages and improved financial condi-
kions go with shorter hours. And
there is reason for it if one had time
to tell it.
But McVeagh-he works ten hours
day. He works at a trade that Is
developing his faculties all the time.
The miners work at a trade that dead
ems theirs. He can rest by change Of
occupation and refresh himself by an
occasional trip to Europe. Give a
miner equal chance to improve his
mind and equal opportunity for re-
freshment by European trips and he
will willingly work ten hours a day
also.
Eight hours a day at mental work
with frequent change and an occa-
sional holiday is fun. Newspaper men,
the LATEST in the world, work from
ten to sixteen hours for the fascination
Of it.
But eight hours a day in a tread
mill is long enough"
