FEDERATION RESOLUTIONS.
Dip Into Many Things-Variety of
Reforms Asked.

NORFOLK, Va, Nov. 16.-The
American Federation of Labor today
adopted resolutions as follows:
Directing it's executive committee
to use every influence to bring about
action by congress increasing post
office clerks pay.
Starting action to expedite and sys-
tematize the regulation of convict la
Dor Calling upon congress for a
small parcels post law, as a relief
from the express monopoly" Au-
thorizing the executive council to
deal with the questions of appoint
ing organizers to teach immigrants
in their own language the ideas of
unionism, and asking that "theatri-
cal syndicates" be included as amen
able under the antitrust laws, 'in
restraint of trade"
The Federation rejected the reso-
luton calling for the building and

An innovation, something abso-
lutely new, and never before tried is
to be inaugurated by the local min
ing and stock exchange beginning
with tomorrow. The usual daily call,
held at O'Clock each afternoon, is
to be suspended temporarily and in
it's stead the exchange will be open
for business from o'clock in the
morning until O'Clock every night,
except holidays and Sundays.
The innovation was suggested at
the last regular meeting of the board
of directors of the exchange, by Will
lam T. Binford, secretary and treas
urer of the board
At any hour of the day any per-
son, through an accredited broker, a
member of the exchange, may post
bids and offers of stocks. These Of
fers will hold good until o'clock
on the night of the day in which they
are posted. All bids and offers will
be posted for the benefit of those
who may wish to see them. 1t is be-
lieved that the business of the ex-
change will be stimulated by this
means; that offers and bids will be-
come known during business hours
and that brokers may have time be-
tween the posting of the bids and Of
fers and the closing of the call, to

PRACTICE MUST CEASE.
Land Office Can No Longer Certify
to Citizenship Papers.

Under a new ruling recently made
by the general land office, registers
and receivers are prohibited from
certifying to copies of citizenship pa
pers, which heretofore has been the
practice R. A. Ballinger, the gen.
eral commissioner, has issued the fol-
lowing:
"You will discontinue the practice
of certifying to the correctness of
copies of declarations of intention to
become citizen, or of certificates of
citizenship. You will also refuse to
accept such papers as evidence of cit
izenship unless the same bear the
signature and seal of the clerk of the
court from which the papers were is
sued These instructions apply 10
papers under the old naturalization
laws, and as well to the ones is
sued under the act of June 20, 1907"

either fill orders or find purchasers
for the stocks posted.
All sales will be made through the
secretary of the board, as is the pres
ent custom, and he will make all
payments. The plan was discussed
carefully among the brokers who are
members of the exchange before it
was submitted to the board of di-
rectors, and such general approval
met the proposition that the board
decided to adopt it at once. The
rule will be effective until rescinded
bv action of the board of directors
at the request of majority of the
brokers on the board. While this
system will do away with the some
times spectacular feature of the reg
ular pit call, it is believed that the
exchange will transact greater vol
ume of business.

DUN'S TRADE REVIEW.
NEW YORK, Nov. 16.--R. G. Dun
G Co IS Weekly Review of Trade says
today:
Liberal receipts of gold from
abroad and a large increase in bank
note circulation tend to relieve the
financial stress at New York, but the
interior is now feeling the scarcity
of currency and commercial activity
is retarded to some extent. Dis
patches from leading cities indicate
conservatism in preparation for flu
ture business and irregularity in col
lections, with most favorable news
from agricultural sections, in which
the crops are being marketed as free
ly as the supply of money will per-
nit.
Return to normal conditions will
be fastened by large exports of farm
staples, supplying credits abroad
upon which the much needed gold
may be imported. Official returns in
dictate that exports of this nature
were valued at about $100,000,0
in October and the outgo of grain
and cotton is on still larger scale
this month. 1t is particularly for
tunate that there was not the GUS
tomary borrowing abroad this sum-
mer in anticipation of agricultural
exports, whereas usually the remit
tances are needed to meet maturing
bills in the exchange market.
Financial pressure has affected the
iron industry, curtailing new con-
tracts for all forms of finished steel
Few new orders have been received
by the mills, and some deliveries on
old contracts are deferred because
funds are not available to meet spe-
eifcations.
Reports of the closing of wooden
mills should not be given undue sig
nificance, more or less idle machin-
cry being customary at this time of
the year. and no additional new bus
mess is to be expected until clothiers
begin to send duplicate orders.

ing in demand and output is being

We hereby wish to express our sim

curtailed to prevent over production.
Thus far the percentage of reduction
is not heavy, some plants operating
five days a week and others seven
hours day. There is little effort
to force business, producers being
more concerned in clearing up old
contracts and collecting accounts.

MOTHERS NEGLECT
CAUSES P|E-ACHE
GAUNT DYSPEPSIA STALKS IN
HIGHLAND PARK
Public School Children Nursing Dis
arranged Stomachs as Result
of Lunch Wagons seduc-
tive Wares

Pie, seductive pic, apple, peach, GUS
tard, cocoanut and what not, seems
likely to accomplish the downfall of
the pupils of the Highland Park public
school.
This subject of pie and it's effect on
the digestive tracts (they call it
'tummy') of the pupils is as old as
the school department, but 1t is far
from being settled, as teachers, mem
bers of child study circles, and the
pupils themselves can testify.
The agitation in Highland Park
flows in two channels. The teachers,
who in one day last week administered
to no fewer than five children suffer-
ing from 'ache of the digestive appa-
ratus," are alarmed for the health of
their charges. Members of the child
ctudy circle blame the mothers, who,
instead of putting up a wholesome
lunch for their children, send them to
school with five cents each, this sum
to be expended at vender's wagon
for hale an indigestible pie.
Miss Carlotta Thornton, principal of
the school, says that she fears dire
results from the pie diet. She bases
her alarms on the fact that almost
every day from one to five sufferers
finds his or her way to the couch in
the principals Office, there to mourn
the presence of the pie. While the
venders are not allowed to approach
the portals of the school, they are
never far distant at hours for recess.
Then a hasty purchase, a more hasty
swallowing and then-aohes.

yesterday:
1.-THE fault is not with the teachers
nor with the pupils nor entirely with
the vendors, but it lies with the moth
ers themselves. They find it easier to
give the children a nickel each and
let them lunch on whatever they can
buy than to put up wholesome food
for the little ones to carry to school.
If the childrens digestion is ruined
and that surely will be the result
the mothers are to blame.

of homemade luncheons throughout
this neighborhood. The food should
not be carried in a paper sack, but IN
a basket or box that can be purchased
for a few cents.

WELL PROTECTED
Judge Wills Believes Hostile Navies
Would Have Hard Work to
Do Much Damage to
California

zone Hobson or Hodginson, who lee
tured around through the middle west
the other day, evidently conceived the
idea that the Pacific coast was unpro-
tected. We would say to the young
man that there are only few deep
water harbors on the Pacific coast
from Puget Sound to the Gulf of Cali
fornia; that the natural formation of
the land lying near the sea is a
natural fortification, being sand dunes
which can resist and cushion a shell
better than the rock-bound coast of
New England" said Judge Wells in
discussing coast defenses yesterday.
About two years ago I had the
pleasure Of riding on a Huntington
car as far as Newport beach, the time
that they had concluded to extend the
line to San Diego. This is an electric
line of fair burden of cars, thoroughly
adapted to shipping ordnance and am
munition from point to point, and II
the naval department of the United
States will appropriate sufficient means
to plant heavy ordnance upon our
coast the sand dunes will be much
handler means of protection to the
gunners than the cotton bales were at
New Orleans.
Should few Japanese manage to
land through the Mexican L6rrlLOry,
which, not controlled by our forces,
but by treaty with the Mexican re-
public, Uncle Sam can rely upon the
native-born Spanish Americans to pro-
duce a cavalry as efficient and per-
haps more valuable than were the
Vermont boys at Lookout mountain or
the boys Of Kentucky and Tennessee.
1.-THE time comes when all men must
study the exact right of an American
citizen, and If we differ at that day
we should not certainly differ today.
1.-THE policy of our president is hu-
manitarian and If we could be sure to
convert all of these heather we would
be willing to accept this policy, but
the memory Of man goes back to the
days of a man who was never presi-
dent of the United States.
90, that Jim Blaine were alive to-
day.
80, that the letter Of Thomas Jeffer-
son in regard to the exact condition OF
federal government could inculcate in
the minds of the children of today the
great danger that confronts us always
as Americans.
Probably the best thoughts ex-
pressed by a Japanese who is a per-
sonal friend of the Japanese consul
who lives in Alameda, Cal, were
these:
1--we took Manchuria. That is the
place for my people, except when a
skilled mechanic comes to America who
