COMPANY STORE IS
OBJECT OF ATTACK
Pittsburg District Workers
Ask Currency Instead Of
Merchandise Checks.

Pittsburg, Dec. 3o.--A fight against
the so-called PLUCK Me" stores, COM
pany stores conducted by the steel and
iron and coal and coke companies OPP
Grating In the Pittsburg district, will
be inaugurated tomorrow. The workers
want real money instead of tin mer
ohandising checks for their labor.
A. C. Stein of Pittsburg, attorney and
member of the state legislature, acting
for others will appear before the
states attorney general to ask for a
writ of quo warranto against the Jones
& Laughlin Steel company The act OF
or corporation is convicted of main
tanning a company store its charter
shall be revoked.
Several years ago a similar request
by the same lawyer was ignored. In
the present instance Mr.. Stein declares
that If the order is refused he will de-
mand of the legislature a full investi-
cation of the company store system.
1t is charged that in the conduct OF
these stores the corporations violate
the act of 1891. 1t is further charged
that the workmen employed by the
manufacturers and producers are fore
ed to buy all their personal and family
supplies at these stores; that they are
overcharged for inferior goods; that or
pay days they are compelled to accept
tin checks redeemable in merchandise
only at the stores owned by the com.
pany, and that the workmen seldom. Il
ever, receive cash for their labor.

POOR SEASON FOR

Weather Devices; Christ

Boys who received sleds and skates
for Christmas, are arranging for con-
certed action against the weather man.
OF course 1t was just their luck to get
these cold weather implements for an
open winter Christmas, and they are
going to see whether something can not
be done. Their Indignation Will not be
appeased when they read the weather
prediction for the next thirty-six hours.
This is the latest bulletin the weather
man has sent out for this vicinity:
Mostly cloudy Monday and Tuesday;
continued mild temperature; moderate

TRADE REVIVAL
IS IN FULL SWING
New York Sun Financial Review of
Year Points to Period
of Prosperity

added the fear engendered by govern
ment lawsuits seeking to disturb prop
erty titles that had been unquestioned
for generation. why hould one go
further to seek a reason for stagnation
in the stock market?
Living Cost Curbs stocks.
There is no doubt whatever that the
high cost of living which has come
about in recent years has been and is
a drawback in the security market 1t
has made the saving Of money difficult
on the part of good many people and
it has increased the expense of business
operations
But the figures of the savings banks
and other similar records taken as a
whole show that saving of money has,
in fact, gone on just as before, while
the evidence of vast general accumu-
lation of wealth in the United States Is
too plain to be disputed.
1.-THE price OF farms all over the
country; that is. farms that can pro-
duce anything. is rising and our farm
ers are far and away Weather now
than at any time before
Indutrial Concerns Prosper.
Industrial securities having a sound
financial basis have not been greatly
companies represented by these securi-
ties In bad way. The industrial COM
panies in the year just ending have
passed through one of the most profit
able periods ever known. Their bust
ness in recent months has been greater
than ever before. and their profits. al
though not up to the mark of 1906 and
1907. are only about 20 per cent down
from the top.
Investment additionally used to
concern itself more with railroad bonds
than any other form OF escurity. Now
this investment has been compressed
into small proportions
THE true cause of this state of
| affairs is not far to seek. The railways
are suffering from illiberal, unwise. and
what will prove to be, carried on a
| great while further as IT has been in
the past, the disastrous policy adopted
| by the government and the public re-
garding railway rates. Fair treatment
OF the railway companies is the most
important reform now needed"

New York, Dec 30.-The New York
sun in its financial review of the year
tomorrow will say:
"As the event has proved to the sat
isfaction of most persons the era of
forced liquidation following the panic
of GOT and the era, of at least the fury.
OF the political assault on buiness clos
{ In the autumn of 1911. From the
low prices then reached the market for
securities moved rapidly upward as
from an oversold condition until the
early part of the present year, when
the shadow of approaching election
brought 1t to a halt.
"a revival of business proper began
in March. and accelerated by the pros
pect. since fulfilled, or enormous crops,
and not deferred either by the progress
of the election it's results, is still in
full swing. But a secondary advance
in the stock market was stopped and a
decline induced, this time by a tighten
ing of money throughout the world In
consequence of the Balkan war.
Uneventful Year in Stocks.
The stock market history of the
year has, therefore been less eventful
than for any similar period In the last
decade. AS far as the future is con-
not be entirely dismissed as financial
factor, is rapidly disappearing as an
active force. Easy money or relatively
easy money may be counted upon with
reasonable assurance in the months i'm
mediately at hand.
Questions still remaining to be set
tied are those relating to our tariff dis
cussions and to the attitude of the new
administration concerning the trusts
and other matters affecting business, as
| well also as the action the Supreme
court may take in the settlement oi
legal controversies connected there.
with; and to how great an extent these
inlay offset the influence of the ex-
tremely favorable fundamental ele-
ments in the situation is something be-
yond any mans telling.
| Judged by analogies drawn from
past experience and upon the assump.
tion-also justified by analogy-tha
the coming agricultural year will no
be one of disaster, there is firm grount
for the belief 1913 will be period o.
continued prosperity.
Security Market Sold Out.
AS far as concerns the securit,
market ITSELF it has been so thorough,
old out that a real public buying move
ment of even moderate dimension
would cause rapid absorption of tn,
small floating supply of stocks and
sensational advance in prices. All tina
is necessary to this end is a restora
| ton of confidence.
There was no investment deman,
for securities. and quotations for sucl
! securities were steadily falling: an,
| the underlying reason for it all wa
continued public and private extrava
| gance and a high cost of living that /
did not seem possible to lower.
| Business was larger in many dirac
| lions. but it was all being done at 81
small a margin of profit that there wa
not much point in its being done at oil
| Labor costs were excessive and wer
increasing, and when to all this wa
