NEW YORK. November SO.-Conserva-
tive observers think that the advance in
the stock market has been too rapid and
that the stocks in which there has been
the greatest activity and which have en-
joyed the largest recoveries should now
sell on moderately. While acknowledge
ing that the financial situation Is greatly
improved and the sentiment of banking
interests decidedly more chcerful, it is
pointed out that conditions. both here and
throughout the country, do not yet war
rant an active speculation in stocks It
Is expected that financial conditions at
this center will continue to improve and
that after the turn of the year money will
be decidedly easy. 1t is feared, however,
that manufacturing and mercantile con-
Germs must still pass through a period of
embarrassme mt and that general business
conditions will be unsatisfactory for some
little time.

In highly speculative circles there is
more or less apprehension as to the effec CT
upon the market of the forthcoming mes
sage Of the President. WASHINGTON dis
patches, purporting to give synopsis
OF the message, have indicated that ii
VIII be of unusual length and will not dis
close any change Of heart upon the part
OF the author. 1t is pointed out that there
Is very little new that he can bring for.
ward at this time and conseque ntiy 1t is
generally expected that the message will
be largely repetition of ideas expressed
In previous documents of a similar char
acter and In the large number of speeches
which the President has delivered
1t is this somewhat negative character
OF the message which it is feared will
chill sentiment in speculative and to some
extent. important financial circles. If
the President were to take a characteris-
tically aggressive position with respect to
a comprehensive currency measure and a
more liberal attitude toward corporations,
1t is thought that the message would havs
decidedly salutary effect in Wall street.
From this time on it is believed that
the market will respond rather quickly to
both favorable and unfavorable develop
ment and that. unless the latter becomes
more serious than is now anticipated,
there may be very good trading market
Tor some weeks to come.

PRINTERS UNION
Something of the History Of the Old
est Trade Organization in
the World.

The great strike in the book and
Job printing industry, in which the
International Typographical Union
of North America and the United
lTypothetaa Of America have been pit.
ted against one another for eighteen
months. has attracted considerable al
tention to trade-pnion methods and
the history Of trade organizations.
international Typographical Union
was formed in 1852 and has had a
successful and progressive existence
since that time. Previous 10 1852
there were many local associations or
unions of printers, and a convention
Of these local associations was held
az early as 1894.
The International Typographical
Union is recognized as a conservative
Organization and this is borne out by
the effort that was made by the Off
GERS of the union to peaceably adjust
the eight hour contention with the
employers before the strike wa. en-.
tered into. This strike has been a
marvel of finaneiering. The Interna-
tcnal Typographical Union has a
membership OF about forty-seven thou
Island and with the exception OF about
fifty thousand dollars. these forty
seven thousand members have raised
by assessment more than $3,000000
for the conduct Of their strike for the
eight hour day The assessment was
at first 30 cents per week. then 10I
per cent Of all wages earned The TO-
per cent assessment was effective for
nine months Ii was then reduced to-
per cent. later to per cent, and Is.
now 8 per cent The method of levy
ing the assessment is also worthy of
explanation. It was not placed by a
convention, nor by the officers Of the
organization. The proposition was
submitted 70 & referendum vote, The
proposal levy 80 cents per week
received a majority Of nearly twenty
thousand vote and me proposal toI
lew 10 per cent assessment re-
ceiyed a majority of OF more than
eighteen thousand votes.
The International Typographical
Union also conducts a home at Colo
RADIO Springs known as the Union
Printers Home. This institution was
erected and is maintained for It's aged
and distressed members. Thus far
union, in erecting and carrying on
this part of It's philanthropic work,
has expended more than five hundred
thousand dollars in about twelve
years tine There a.e at the present
time at he Union Printers Home
about one hundred and fifty inmates
Local typographical unions also
have their benefit features. such as
caring for -ick members. assisting
htose 1ao may be- temporarily ont oil
work. and burial funds which are con
irbuted 10 by all members. Along
these lines thousands Of dollars afeI
expended every year.
The headquarters Of the lnterua-
iional typographical Union are lo-I
Gated in indianapolis. Indiana. and
the officers OF the organization are
continually sending out pamphlets de.
scriptiye Of the Union Printers Home
and explaining methods of the union.

A striking feature of the last year
was the manner in which the fire in
surance companies OF the country
provided for the tremendous losses
sustained, the appalling san Fran
cisco disaster developing one of The
most difficult situations these insttu'
lions were ever called upon to face.
Ii is estimated the fire lass in the
United States and Canada in 1906
amounted to $4597l0,00 of which
over $3.50. 000,0 600 was in San Fran
cisco. The excess loss of $l797l0,oOo
in the country at large was over 81

TIME TO PROTEST.

President Rocsevelt's suggestion
] that the metropolitan press be eurbed,
In It's reports OF the disgusting details
of the Thaw trial may be resisted on
The ground that it might be made to
serve as a precedent for interference
In other directions; but that protest
Is in order in the present instance
from some high source will probably
be confessed by all right thinking
people. And ii is in order for the pres
especially to denounce the shameless
disregard for public indecency which
some journals have shown in the
handling of this case When liberty
becomes license 1t is time to pull
check reign, and this l. true of the
newspaper business as well as of any
other business. AS "a little leaven
leayeneth the whole loaf" so a little
filth may make the whole loaf foul:
and when a few reckless men,
prompted by thirst for the mo-
.meniary applause of depraved
'rabble, or by mercenary motives, sink
their journals into the lowest depths
|of human depravity, newspaperdom
generally must suffer faint The daily
paper need not be prudish. II must
not lose sight of its duty to the pub
lie as a puryeyor of the news and
recorder Of he day's happenings;
and to a certain extent even the de-
tails of the darkest career may serve
a good purpose. But there are limits
beyond which no paper may go il it
would preserve its self respect and
remain true to the noblest mission Of
journalism: the steady promotion of
high ideals among the reading
masses.
