COTTON PRICES ADVANCE


New York, Nov. 22-Speculation
IN cotton has been brisk at risint;
prices interrupted only now and then
by moderate reaction The bull sid..
win the added prestige Of recent
/ events has become more popular Ev-
erybody has been predicting reaction
and waiting for it to take hold
again. But the price has continued
to advance. The rise has been fomcpt-
ed largely by the stronger spot situ-
alton and the rapidly decreasing stock
at New York. All this has been ac-
complished by the talk Of a possible
squeeze In December and POSSIBLY in
January cotton. The stock Of unsold
cotton in New York Is said to be not
over 10000 to $4,000 bales. The
sales or spot cotton here during the
week have been large 1t is even

The advance has been rapid and so
sharp that many OF the trade are now
looking for good reaction. The
general sentiment, however, is more
bullish than has been for some time
past.

BOARD OF ARBITRATION AN.
NOUNCES DECISION.
Baord Considers the Public In Oucs-
ton and Makes Recommendations
for the General Good.

Washington. Nov. 24-Thirty thous-
ana locomotive engineers OH 52 East
ern railroads gain a partial victory in
their demand for more wages. under
the award announced. today by the
board OF arbitration.
In it's decision. however the boards
mold that the public, which had no
voice In the controversy and no choice
but to abide by the decision, had
more at stake than either engineers
or railroads and emphasizes the ne
cessity OF plans to safeguard the pub
Tic against the possibility Of a future
strike whose consequences 1t depicts
in sombre vein.
1t would be difficult to exaggerate G
the seriousness of such a calamity"
reads the report 1T is safe to saw
that the large cities of the East would
find their supply Of many articles of
FOOD exhausted within a week. or so
important commodity as milk they
would have no more than a days
supply. IL such a strike lasted but
single week the suffering would be
beyond our power Of description"
To place such strike beyond the
realms OF probability. the board ad-
vocates the creation Of federal and
state wage commissions. These COM
missions. the board suggests, should
DC vested with practically the same
powers over organized labor as public
utilities commission now exercise
over quasi-public corporations.
1T is the belief of the board" con-
tinues the decision. that in the last
analysis the only solution is to qualify
the principle of free contract in the
railroad service"
From this suggestion y. II. Nor
risey. the representative Of the engi-
neers on the board. dissents.
The award increases wages On some
railroads and for some classes Of SER
vice, but holds that a general increase
ON all roads is not warranted. The
award dates back to May / last and
will hold for one year from that date.
Mr.. Morrisey. representing the engi-
neers. has already indicated doubt as
to its renewal In the past. with sew
eral notable exceptions. the contracts
between the roads and the engineers
have been renewed annually.
The attitude of the railroads, as
outfned In statement today by
President Daniel Willard of the Bal-
tlmore & Ohio, who represented the
railroads on the arbitration board, is
likewise indefinite as to the future.
MY acceptance OF the award as a
whole does not signify my approval
of all the findings in detail" says
