B0OKBINDERS WILL
NOT GO ON STRIKE.
Miller VIII Return to Work for Gov
ernment-Union Surrendcrs to
the Inevitable.

REPUBLIC SPECIAL
Washington. July A-After an exciting
day the insurgents in tho bindery OF the
Government Printing Office ran up tho white
flag and surrendered.
w. A Miller. the assistant foreman Of the
bindery. who was removed by Public Print
er Palmer because he had been expelled
from the union. and reinstated by order of
President Roosevelt. can go to work and
there will be no strike. Tho law is recog-
nized as superior to the regulations OF the
union
Assistant Foreman Miller, who has been
Idle since his removal from Office last May,
returned to Washington from Minneapolis
this morning. having been informed that the
President had ordered his reinstatement.
Miller went to the Government Printing
onice, where he asked to be put to work.
The officers OF the union asked leave to flo
with the Civil-Service Commission a copy of
the protest embodying charges against Mil
Ter, which had already been fled with tho
Public Printer, and which had been sent to
Secretary Cortelyou Of the Department of
Commerce and Labor. in the false hope that
1t would be forwarded to Oyster Bay.
The Commissioners told the officers of the
union that they could have nothing to do
with these charges against Miller. That was
matter which concerned only tho Public
Printer. and II they had any complaints or
grievances they must take them to the Gov
eminent Printing Office.
incidentally. Commissioner Proctor Rsye
the officials OF the union some good advice.
He told them that. in his opinion, the POSI-
ton which they had threatened to assume
OF striking because Of Miller's reinstate-
ment for the reason that their constitution
did not permit them to work with a man
who had been expelled from the union, was
ground on which no sane labor organization
could stand In view OF the law.
Commissioner Proctor also vouchsafed the
Information that II the book binders did
strike they would all individually have to
undergo a new civil-service examination be-
fore being taken back. He pointed out to
them that this was clearly tho law, even If
It was at variance with the rules OF labor
organizations The committee had q cold
chill.
When the officers Of the binderr union
emerged from the Civil-Servica Commits
sion's Office. Mr.. Barrett, the head Of the
organization. said he did not think there
would be any strike.
In the meantime Miller had returned TO
tho Government Printing OfIice. where the
certificate Of his reinstatement had been re-
ceive6 He was told that he could 20 to
work either tomorrow or Monday. or any
time that he desired. and he announced his
intention Of returning to his position
promptly.
The developments Of to-day have been q
complete knockout for the bookbinders

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, Oct THE stock mar
ket moved in a rather bewildered way
to-day, but the dealings represented
little more than a cropping by profess
sioLal traders to discern the sentiment
of the real holders of stock. The re-
duction in the Steel dividend brought
in some heavy selling orders, but they
were all accepted at first by one house
which was credited with acting for
banking interests connected with the
corporation.
Support was accorded the stock, es-
pecially the preferred, during the rest
of the day and the personality of the
brokers employed for this purpose
caused a surmise that the market man
agement of the stocks had come back
to the hands that were entrusted with
the first Rotation. The common stock
was forced down over a point at one
time, and the general list was heavy
after the opening firmness. Asser-
tions were heard that the coming cold
weather demand offers little prospect

anthracite. Erie had the advantage of

annual report of Louisville and Nash
Vile and the September showing of
New York Central. helped to reinforce
confidence as to the general rai1roa1
situation.
The late strength in Atchison. which
rallied the whole market, seemed to be
based upon the declaration Of the reg
ular quarterly dividend of per cent,
and to the growing sense of security
over the safety of the corn crop. In
suficiency of dividend considerations

shown in the case of American Car,

temperatures were higher. and there
was little rain. Liverpool was doing

ing big crop, but it is understood that
the talk alone does not make bales,
and there is every indication that the
crop Will not turn out as we'll as pre-
Vlously believed. Receipts are not run
ming so large as looked for and at all
events we have had a good decline and
should now do better, especially as we
may have frost at an early date. The
situation in Texas continues unsatis-
factory, and it is believed will turn
out much worse than generally sup
posed. Unless receipts pick up Won
derfully in the next two weeks, shorts
will suffer considerably. Prices opened
good deal higher, bat soon weakened.
There were signs of nervousness in
bear quarters because receipts, while
heavy, were not still heavier, and il
was considered a difficult thing to catch
up with last years figures. Signs of
colder weather in Texas caused better
buying toward noon. Receipts were
$4,000, against $4,000 last year. Gables
were a shade easier. Indications were
for the weeks movement not exceeding
last years.
Estimates for tomorrow: Houston,

might sooner or later turn for profits.
AT any rate the declining tendency was

Ware & LeIand,s Cotton Letter.

New York, Oct. THE market re-
covered very sharply from the decline
of yesterday This was attributed to
larger buying by spinners, to smaller
offerings by the South and to short
covering on the future market. All
that was for sale was readily taken
early in the day and as buying con-
tinued prices advanced. The tone of
the market proved very much better
than yesterday, or the day before, and
this attracted new buying. Reports
from the South were again unfavor-
able. The weekly report states that
so per cent. of the crop has been pick
ed. This can hardly be true. but it
shows that the yield is not an enormous
one or picking would be far from half
through. With the same kind of adj
vices from the South there must be
some kind of ground for the reports
of a moderate crop. Under the cir
cumstances we cannot see our way clear
to selling cotton. 1t seems as though
those willing to buy cotton were few
in number. Every one seems to fight
shy of buying side. Lots of people
are selling, and yet the market is a
very unsatisfactory one to trade in,
but short sellers on such a break as
we have had are likely to suffer. We
may be in for another year like the
last and our low prices are to be found
now rather than later on in the year
While there is nothing in the imme-
date outlook to cause an extensive
advance we certainly would not sell
short at these prices. A heavy move
ment will carry the market lower but
every one should be careful about SELL
ing.
