We have listened to the old
reasoning that the workingman {
IL able to make as good con-
tract individually as labor
union can. don't believe the
individual switchman or Il rail
road man who Is earning $50 a
month would get much satisfac-
ton If he protested against a cut
in his wages.
What chance has he to see the
superintendent and insist that he
cannot support his family on
smaller wage?
But IL he is member of an
association that includes thou
sands of men in every branch of
railroading his grievance is sure
to reach the ear of the president.
Trade unions endeavor to Sc
cure a monopoly of labor, they
say. Well. suppose they do. If
they could create monopoly
they could starve the world.
But 1t seems to me the trade
union is not the only body that
tries to establish monopoly.
Capital does it.-Clarence Oar

If a business firm or corporation de-
sires to get rid of "salaried" employee
it is customary to give that person
notice of its intention far enough ahead
to permit looking for another position.
But that same firm or corporation will
more often than not tie a can to its en-
ploye who works for "wages" without
thinking or caring whether that "wage''
employee has dollar in the world or a
prospect in sight. Is it fair?

CHICAGO.

CHICAGO, August S.-Not nearly SO
much buying enthusiasm showed itself in
the wheat market today as had been
expected. Instead good deal of COM
mission selling developed and there was
a decided tendency for prices to sag. One
reason was that more favorable crop re-
ports from India had overcome to some
extent in Liverpool the blllish feeling due
to the spread of black rust in Canada.
Damage advices from Russia appeared also
to be less severe. according to offio ial
statements. Besides, the weather in Man
itoha was clear and otherwise of sort
to help the fields escape more complete
effects of the rust. Opening figures were
"A lower to = up. September started at

Heavy speculative selling of the lay
option weakened all the futures of corn.

COTTON MARKETS.
NEW YORK.

NEW YORK, August s.-The cotton
market opened barely steady at a decline
of 7a14 points in response to lower cables
and reports that an extensive railroad
strike in England was demoralizing trade.
The bulls gave the market some support
around the opening figures but selling was
more or less general and the market
gradually worked off TO a net decline of
about 19a21 points during the early trad
ing. Rumors that one of the larger of
the speculative short interests had COW
cred seemed to render fresh selling lit
tie more aggressive, while the bulls gave
the market comparatively little support
after buying a few thousand bales around
II .35 for September.
slight rally occurred during the mid
die Of the morning as a result of COW
ering, but the bulls gave no support and
the market continued weak in the late
forenoon. with new crop positions work
ing off to a net loss of about % to 30
points under more or less general selling
encouraged by favorable crop accounts
and the less encouraging advices as to
British trade conditions. Spot nominal.
