One feature which contains elements of
real trouble is the labor outlook. For
the better part of two years majority of
large corporations made continuous re-
ports Of gains in net earnings month by
month This made good reading for Wall
street and the investors generally. and
contributed in an important sense to the
big bull movement in securities. These
reports were followed by increased divi-.
dends and the showings made afforded
warrant for the hope of participation by
labor in these good times. Now, however.
that the working men are coming forward
with demands for increased pay. they
are met with reports all along the line of
unfavorable net results. Labor cannot
understand why there should he this
sudden change in corporation bookkeep-
ing and balance sheets now that the
urgent need of producing speculative eff
feet in Wall street Is not so acute. Labor
is wondering II corporations indulge in
two kinds Of bookkeeping, one for the
stock exchange and the other for the
working men. In urging this view upon
popular attention the workmen and their
advocates are unpleasantly insistent. If
they should succeed In forcing recogni-

noticed however that in all these sup

can produce half enough copper for the
worlds consumption at cost of about

great mines in the southwest and so
have Phelps, Dodge & Co., that can
mine copper at a cost not to exceed 6

that the great merger now in process of

inflated copper securities onto deluded

ing cheap copper with the specialists who
will remain ON the outside.

There is one straight path TO a reform
in the method and practices OF the stock
exchange and banking machinery which
might put a stop to many or the abuses
complained of, and that is to force a
change in the attitude of the federal and
state banking departments in the matter
of Decentralization of checks. Both ma
tional and state authorities wink at So
called technical evasions" of the laws
making characterization of bank cnecks
a crime There are severals ways by
which the plainly written laws on TINS
subject are lodged, and the money OF
depositors jeopardized in order to help
along the gambling operations on the
stock exchange.
The method most commonly practiced is
for brokerage and commission houses
desiring Decentralization to bridge over
with day by day notes unsecured TO the
amount of the checks to be presented.
The confessed object is to enable the
banks to certify without seeming TO dis
obey the law although only the widest
stretch of imagination could construe
these unsupported notes into real de-
posts. 1t is regarded by the unsophisti-
Gated as very strange that this factor
in the situation should not provoke
drastic action in Washington and Albany.
Such action would render unnecessary
many of the reform plans now being
mulled over by the amateurs and up
lifters in these two centers of political
thought.
