The Jewish outlook., 1904-11-25

port continues, e" fifteen families, all
cured and self-supporting, one OF the
most gratifying results Of our work. 1t
is to be noted as an unexpected outcome
of our policy in this direction, that for
twenty-one months past no Cincinnati
child has been placed in the Cleveland
Orphan Asylum. Over fifty per cent. OF
our orphans at Cleveland are the chill
dren of parents who died of consump
ton, and the fifteen families now living
in Denver would have furnished their
quota, If our radical action had not
saved the lives of the parents. -
This hospital is entirely charitable,
no "pay patients" being received. The
cost Of maintenance averages somewhat
more than ST day for each patient,
the milk bill alone being So, ,12O.8O for
the year, and that for eggs 81 ,534.45.
The total expenditure for general run
ming expenses was nearly $40 5000, SUI
piled by contributions from individuals
and Jewish societies.
The needs Of the institution are still
great. They are obliged constantly to
refuse admission to patients and are
constantly overcrowded There should
be another building erected at once so
the men and women may have buildings
wholly apart An endowment fund is
also sadly needed, that the annual ex-
penditure of energy need not be so great
in the effort to meet the ever-recurring
emergency.
The appeal Of the secretary, Alfred
Muller, should be needed generously. In
the preface to this report he says: ''We
need some great -souled Jew Of wealth,
whose heart is touched to answering
sympathy with the cause of the helpless,
penniless consumptive. He can con-
struct monument, every stone Of
which will be blest by the benedictions
Of those at the portal Of death, whom he
has reclaimed to life. Here is an oppor-
tunity for Immortality in Jewish char
ity. Perhaps there is one whose family
has been blighted by the remorseless
blow Of this terrible plague who will
build memorial to his beloved dead
that will shelter the living sufferers now
crying to us for aid. If our worthy CO.
religionists could witness the scenes
that we behold daily-patients coming
to us gaunt, haggard, forsaken, home
less and friendless, and then leaving us
strong, hearty and happy in their restor-
alton to health, overjoyed in their abil-
ity to return to their dear ones-I am
sure that their fervent appeals would
find a response somewhere From the

NEGRO LABOR NOW
SCARCE n SOUTH
North Carolina Farmers at
a Standtill.
CONDITION HARD TO EXPLAIN
White Mill Operatives Desert the
Towns and Hire Out on the
Plantations.

CHARLOTTE. n. C. March 22.-SOuth-
ern farmers are facing a grave crisis
this season on account of the unprece-
denied scarcity OF negro farm labor.
This is the case not only locally, but
all over the State the farmers are facing
a situation which thy have not been
called upon to face fr many years.
Where the negro IatDr has gone is diff
ficult to tell. One theory il that the
1000 men employed in railroad work
in Virginia partly accounts for the
scarcity. Another is that SO many ne
groes have gone Norh that the South
has been depleted Things have come tC
such a pass that many white mill OPP
eratives are returning to their former
homes in the country owing to the bic
advance in farm wages There Is con
siderable land lying idle In this sec

Movable Building for Men In a Lumber
 Camp.

The lumber interests of the south, which are being developed by companies con- trolling great tracts of forests and em- ploying thousands of men, have followed the example of the railroads and called upon the Young Mems Chris tian association to lead in the organiza- ton of their employees for their own personal benefit, cooperating financially and materially. The Arkansas Lumber company, at Stamps. and the Pearl River company, at Brookhaven, Miss, have al- ready erected buildings at their new mill towns, which have sprung up as by magic.
 The association provides the only social center of the town, and has secured the membership of large percentage of the employees. It is a common meeting place for social, educational. recreational and physical advantages. The Pearl River company has provided a movable build ing which can be lifted, like the other camp buildings, by great cranes onto flat cars and transported to the different points where the man are cutting.
 In this portable building are supplied bathing reading, social and amusement rooms, entertainments and religious ser vices The company employs some hun dred men at the cutting camps and nearly a thousand in the mill and ship ping towns. Other lumber companies have applied to the international committee for assistance in organizing similar associa- tions at their lumber towns and camps

Bankers pisapnointed.

Bankers are more or less disappointed over the failure to establish and main tain high rates for call money The ex- portation of more than $60.000,000 in gold during the last six or seven weeks served only to temporarily harden the money market Money continues to flow in from the west in a great flood. The surplus of the rich agricultural regions of the Mississippi valley and the southwest finds its way to New York and the east ern money eenters. Manifestly it cannot remain entirely idle, hence, there is a competition among holders in the loan market. Solvent borrowers are beseiged with offerings and there Is more money on tap in Wall street than has been the case for many years. This would be an altogether favorable symptom were it not for the fact that the funds so piled up indicate an inability to give them proflta- ble employment in fields of enterprise. As 1t Is this money Is gradually being invested in dividend and interest bear ing securities. Supplies of bonds, in par ticular. are slowly diminishing As yet there has been only slight advance in quotations, but values are hardening and the tendency of prices is moderately up- 1 ward. High class bonds are, of course. at big premium. The mass of bonds obtainable Is what is called the middle class"-those ranging in price from GO to S5 and 90. There are still goodly amounts of these issues undisposed of but the volume is daily diminishing. Many of l these bonds are as sound and safe as those commanding 15 to 40 points more, but they are not so we'll known, being of
 more recent origin.

Coal Trust In Danger.

There is real danger that the anthra- cite coal trust will be subjected to the inconvenience of defending itself in gov- ernment suits against charges of viola ton of the federal antitrust laws. The coal trust Is the most fragrant offender in this line now in existence. It is monop- oly of the most extreme type and admit tedly controls both the production and the price of hard coal in the United States. The trust has been In existence so long, however, and it's policy has be- come so firmly fixed that even though the courts might dissolve 1t that policy would be still likely to control under cover of a community of interest under standing" The present outlook is that the anthracite coal trust will be made campaign issue whether Attorney Gen. eral Knox proceeds formally against il or not.
 Wall street Is trying to measure the price effect of the coal roads securities on account of the revived agitation There is no agreement on this point. but the majority opinion seems to be that property values will not be appreciably impaired and that earnings will continue to be satisfactory.

Wall Street Weeps.

Wall street is shedding tears of emo tonal sympathy with George Gould over his expressed horror of dirty money. In recent interview with one of the emil nently respectable directors of the West ern Union MT. Gould is quoted as saying in effect that he would rather throw into the river the entire income of the West ern Union than to permit the company to stand in with crooked people and de- rive revenue from the partnership. The position taken by MT. Gould Is clearly set forth in an interview by Jacob H. Schiff, a fellow director and active head of the banking house of Kuhn, Loeb & Co Mr. Goulds father, the late lamented Jay Gould, was conspicuous also for his detesta tion of money that could not show a pure pedigreei His desperate struggles to keep clear of soiled money were con- ducted through a long series of years and form the most interesting chapters in Wall street history. The present head of the Gould family. therefore, comes honestly by his dislike of tainted dol lars
 Wicked horse race people are full of scorn over the display of virtue made at their expense by Western Union officials. They say that the company will not lose 80 by breaking loose from the pool rooms, and that the real cause of the disruption is the failure on the part of the tele- graph company to hold a monopoly of the racing news business.
 According to these wretched people of the race track and pool rooms the West ern Union attempted to drive everybody else out of the business before discover ing how sinful it was. It would appear that the pool room people had news dis tributing machinery of their own and were. making the Hons share of the money instead of the Western Union. Be that as it n ay. 1t is safe to assume hold as bulls wold like. Trade reports that the big telegraph company will not go Into bankruptcy by reason of Its dis association with the gambling element
 Tn this connection 1t is said that nego- tiations are under way with the Postal Telegraph company for the utilization of the wires of that corporation for the col lection and distribution of racing intel ligence. Heretofore all that sort of thing has been done with the assistance and cooperation of the Western Union, the Postal making no attempt whatever to will not require a certificate of charac- ter from those sending messages over its lines
 A feeble attempt was made in the stock market to raid Western Union in connec- ton with the furore over race track mat ters, but slight headway was made. This is one of the non-active stocks and very few of the certificates are af1oat. Con sequently traders can easily sell them- selves into hole and subject themselves to the danger of an ugly twist. The company has been a steady dividend pay- CT for many years and it's shores are
