Labor Honorable.

From an editorial sermon in The
Milwaukee Journal: off the time
has come when there are fewer among
the wealthy in cities who bring up
their children in the false ways of
luxury, idleness and incapacity, let
the world be thankful When it
comes to be considered in the big

to be able to work, to regard labor in
any field as credit, and labor itself
honorable to anyone, there will. be

New York. June I'm the general decline
in stocks. which has now extended over a
period of three months. the copper shares
of this city and Boston have suffered al
most as severely as some OF the prominent
railroad issues.
1t is calculated that twenty-four of the
prominent copper companies whose shares
are dealt in in New York and Boston have
lost in value iS2.siS.Ieo since the beginning
of the year.
Early in the year there was a big boom
in copper on account of the great improve
ment in the price of the metal. Copper ad-
vanced from u cents a pound to Is cents.
and there has been no severe setback in the
price of the metal since Is cents was
reached. Notwithstanding the maintained
strength of the metal market. the shares of
the various companies which are publicly
traded in have sunk to low levels.
Probably the most important explanation
OF the decline in Boston coppers was the
failure to effect a combination OF the south
range properties, in which. it is under
stood. there was involved a Woodworking
arrangement with the United Metal Selling
Company. the selling agency of the Copper
Trust.
