After the call scattering covering and
buying for the New Orleans accounts

only lasted few minutes and the mar

weather condition over the belt, and the
government predicting another week of
good weather, and the market shown a
backward trend with prices sagging back
to the opening. The bears anticipate still
lower prices before the close. The buy

IN MANY MARTS
Every One Must lump When
His Own Particular Bell
Rings.
sy q. c. FORBES.

NEW YORK, June ca DO you ever
eel that if only YOU were in some one
slse's shoes you could do as you liked.
that YOU would have to submit to no
bossing, that YOU would be entirely
'free? Have you ever envied the mil
ionaires, whom you supposed to be mas
tiers Of all they surveyed? Or, to put it
differently. did you not when a child
fancy that all power resided in your
parents. that they were supreme. un-
trammeed, absolutely free will agents
And then did not the teacher also become
an autocrst a being To be envied? Later
Y was learned that these had to submit
TO certain restraints but there were the
rich who beyond question had TO bow the
neck TO nobody And are there not some
among us who still imagine that there
are thousands of the financially elect who
have no masters?
The truth is that no one but cipher
least Of all the big people--can boast
of immunity from overlordship of some
form. We are all, from the least to the
greatest, servants. Not one of us is a
master ungoverned unchecked, answer
able TO nobody.
Long ago preserved a newspaper cut
ting with the caption, 1.-The Endless Chain
f.of Authority" have repea tedly meant
TO write on the subject, for if employees
could only realize that their employers
are no more free-perhaps much less So
than themselves they would harbor fewer
feelings of resentment, of dissa tsfaction
over, the SCENE of things and of I'M
charitableness toward those higher up.
Then yesterday | read an article which
expressed the right sentiment so forceful-
ly that ! could not refrain from discuss
ing it. Here is the pointed extract;
There is one thing that servants
do not seem TO appreciate, namely,
that while they must jump at, the
ring of the bell. all Of us must jump
10 the rings of our bells. We all
have some others pressing the button
for US. no matter how comfortable
and luxurious our environment may
seem.
That statement comes from whom,
think you? From the acknowledged
leader of New York's fashionable society,
from the head of the Four Hundred. from
Mrs. Stuyvesant Fish. Fancy a lady oc-
cupying such station frankly admitting
that she must jump al the ring Of the
bell, just as the humbest of her maids
must do How many house servants
now many Shop girls, now many tele-
phone operators, how many married
women in poorer circumstances ever con
ceived that even the greatest of society
Neaders had to jump at the ring of a
bell? Yet il is eterna1ly true And not
one whit more true of plutocratic ladies
than Of equally plutocratic men
The bell Of public opinion is today max
ing even the Morgan Rockefeller Wander

Of our corporations immune. The rail-
roads have had to jump pretty lively.
/ and certain gigantic Industrial combina-
lions are also being put through their
paces
You are as much J. r Morgans boss as
he is yours.
In theory only YOU may reply. Well.
it is your own fault if you are not so
in practice also for you are responsible
FOR law making and no capitalist can
defy law which the mass of the people
insist upon being obeyed. If through your
laziness, your Indifference, your neglect
of civic duties matters have gone awry.
then do not seek to transfer the blame to
anothers shoulders Happily me people
are coming TO realize their rights. But
let them not forget their responsibilities.
And-this is the point | would seek to
emphasize-do not act on the assump-
tion that the capitalists. the directors
and presidents of railroads. the man
ayers of industrial corporations live in a
world different from your own. that they
have no bells to bother them. that for
them life is one long, sweet song. More,
if they do not answer the bell salts
factorily they can not hold their jobs.
If they do not faithfully SERVE the
public, they are elbowed aside sooner OF,
later. In these latter days it Is sooner
rather than later.
Millions filched licitly from the public
do not yield satisfying dividends If the
bell rung by conscience be not answered.
no walls of gold are thick enough to keep
out the sound. So that those who get
away with it need not be envied by the
rest of US who are servants.
