GOOD NEWS FOR UNEMPLOYED.
Reported that $4,000 Men are Soon
To be Given Work.

New York. Nov. 6.-The National
Association OF Manufacturers publishes
In the current issue Of American In
dustries, its official magazine, a COLI
tinuation OF the statements on trade
conditions contributed by it's 5000
members representing every branch of
Industry. The first series of these
statements, showing improvement IN
commercial conditions, appeared in
the October Is issue OF the magazine
The series now published indicates a
continuation of this improvement and
for the most part an optimistic view
of the business outlook.
kilograms also were. sent prior TO
the election to a number OF associa-
tions' members asking them to state
specifically how many working men
would be added to their present force
by december 1, If nothing occurred to
shake commercial confidence. A re-
sumo OF the information contained in
these replies Is also given by the mc g.
azine, as follows:
THE percentage OF replies received
Indicate that an average of 135 men
each will be added to the majority Ot
manufacturing plants in the associa-
tion by December 1. The percentage
show that at least one-half of the 81
900 members of the National Asso-
citation Of Manufacturers expect 10 add
to their present force more than 20O,-
900 working men.
Taking this as basis" says the
article. ut Is safe to assume that the
$4,000 manufacturers, which, accord.
ing to the census Of 1900, employed an
average Of 100 men or over, each will
add at least so per cent to the present
force. making a total in round figures
OF $4,000 men. In other words.
with the continuance Of business con-
fidence the important manufacturing
interests Of the country will be en-
abled to increase their present force
by more than half a million work.
ing men to meet the market demands
for their products.
I'm securing this information Demo-
cratic and Republican manufacturers
alike were addressed. No attempt was
made to limit the canvass to any par.
ticular industry or to any particular
section of the country. and the queries
sent to manufacturers were based SOLE
ly upon actual business conditions and
business possibilities for the future"
The Standard Oil paid r. H. Ed
munds. editor OF the Manufacturers'
Record. $4,000 for one years sub
scription to that publication, and
$4,000 for a years subscription to the
Southern Farm Magazine, owned and

der the circumstances. these periodi-
Gals must have very friendly feeling

IMPROVED MARKET FOR RAW
COTTON.
Farmers Union Convention In New Or.
leans Will Consider Important
Matter.

'oe>asS' WV. O'-lue pTOO-
lens incident to the development of
an improved market for raw cotton
Will receive first attention at the Ma
tional Farmers Union convention
which Is to be held In New Orleans
Nov. 11-12. along with the proposal
to move the headquarters of the Union
to New Orleans. Some progress in
this direction has already been made,
but the interior warehouses and SELL
Ing agencies have found that they are
seriously handicapped because they
lack port warehouses and port selling
Facilities. hence the importance of this
subject during the New Orleans meet
Ing.
President G. 8. Barrett has had
those matters under serious consider
alton for some time. and has express
ed much interest in the plan for the
construction Of a monster storage and
export warehouse in this city which
has been proposed by a prominent
cotton merchant and planter. This
plan provides for maximum efficiency
and minimum cost incident In the re-
ceiving OF cotton from the trains and
steamboats,. It's sampling, marking
and storage. and when sold, maximum
promptness In delivering the cotton to
the exporter on board the ship along
side the warehouse. The plan con-
templates economies by reason of ma
chinery equipment for handling and
fre proof construction that will save
the producer hundreds of thousands
OF dollars annually on fire insurance,
probably raillion or two a year on
interest charges. large amount on
the elimination OF country damage,
while at the same time the value OF
each and every bale will be increased
one or two dollars because It can be
delivered to the ship on half an hours
notice and because the spinner can
buy 1t on the spot and sample in
stead of by description as is now gen.
rally the case.
The warehouse receipt issued by
such an istituation would be nego-
table at any bank in Europe or
America and In that way millions of
dollars In loans could easily be OBJ
tanned at and 5 per cent. interest.
1t has been calculated that $4,000.
600 will cover the cost OF constructing
such a warehouse, and that on the
savings to the producer the worehouse
would more than pay for itself in two
years.
By selling bonds this sum could be
raised and the bonds paid off out OF
the legitimate earnings of the ware
house.
Another subject OF Importance to be
considered Is that OF the night rider
evil which has already been condemn.
ed unqualifedly by President Barrett.
The National Farmers Union boasts
membership Of over 10000 900 in
the cotton belt. and several thousand
delegates are expected to attend the
New Orleans convention next week.
Mr.. Thomas Watson. of Georgia, one
of the presidential candidates, will he
