THE "ODD LOT" BROKER
A Customer Describes How the
Small Man" Is Mulcted.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
SIR: Mr.. Muir objects to my saying that
the "odd lot" broker on the New York
stock Exchange eXacts onc-eighth each
way from the small man. II is true. Let
me give facts.
Lately I put in an order 10 buy twenty
shares OF Copper" at So. Several hum
dred share lots were done at that price.
but not until the stock sold at 627s would
the odd lot" man give my broker the
twenty shares. Again. sold ten shares
Of Steel" at 52's. but not until several
hundred share lots had been sold at 63.
Thus my broker got the one-eighth to
which he was fairly entitled. but was
not allowed to deal on the same basis as
the big man.
The point seems to me 10 be that cater
ing TO the small man In the way to make
him a trader would be OF benefit to Tho
exchange and enlarge its business. The
above named transactions II win readily
be seen cost me one-quarter each way.
Too heavy burden to promote trading.
Having been In the street since 1873, I
know perhaps n little about II.

Arbitration Under a New Law.

The result of President Wilson's conference in
Washington and the railroads offer to arbtrate
under the Erdman act, If amended is that there Is
likely to be no strike The railroads willingness
to arbitrate is generous and public spirited. They
have taken the ground that the conductors and
trainmen not entitled to an increase in wages.
And they show that there is force in their position
by pointing out how favorable were the circum-
stances of the arbitration and award to the train
men and conductors three years ago which resulted
in wages for these two classes Of employees that
are still relatively high compared with the wages OF
engineers and fremen.
Public opinion has, think, inclined toward the
side Of the railroads in this controversy and their
latest act will assure them Of its continued support
The conductors and trainmen naturally are ready
to accept arbitration under an amended act. Their
whole object has been to bring about arbitration
1t will not do to infer that their readiness 10 accept
arbitration argues the justice Of their cause The
probability is that they expect the arbitratorS TO
pay less attention to the justice Of their demands
than to the expediency Of compromise That is
the tendency Of arbitration. That is its reputation
not merely I'm wage disputes but in the larger issues
where il is employed. And while must all re-
toice at its progress which has made tieup of the
railroads virtually impossible must recognize
It as a weakness of the arbitration methodif by the
habit Of compromising it invites constant demands
for higher wages from the labor unions and results
regularly in the granting Of a fraction OF those
demands
It is to he hoped that with the charging Of
Erdman commissions arbitration will be strength
ened and broader conception Of its functions will
come to prevail Arbitration should not merely aim

The Fires of Patriotism.

The fires of patriotism have been relighted in
South Carolina. They were almost quenched few
weeks ago when Governor Cole Blease wrote TO the
War Department saying that South Carolina's land
forces would not submit to further supervision from
Washington and that the state was glad to escape
the annoyances of yankee Interference That
declaration of secession sounded good for a time.
1t was almost like being out of the Union once more.
But on sober second thought an independence which
threatened TO involve too large share Of local
freight paying became irksome.
Some Of the secessionists figured it out that II the
state went little further and cut off cOmmunica-
tions with the navy as well as the army the
government might realiate by closing up the
Charleston Navy Yard, and that sacrifice on top OF
surrendering the compensation paid to the militia
under the nationalized militia law appeared 10 be
nm excessive price to pay for solitary grandeur
So South Carolina decided to come back. Blease
has teegraphed to the War Department to renew its
Yankee" remittances and to go as far as it likes

new silk hat Shining amid the otherwise exceed
ingy democratic habits of Mr.. Bryan, it has already
become the object of countless apocryphal anec-
dotes One such tale represents Mr.. Bryans family
as expressing a prayerfu sigh over the difficulty Of
persuadng the Secretary of State from sleeping in
his new decoration.
Fictitious as this detail undoubtedly Is, it eX-
presses well the devotion with which Mr.. Bryan has
applied himself to what may be termed the decora-
tive aspects of his office. And no one will feel sur
prise that Mr. Bryan finds it necessary to turn to
Chautauqua for funds with which to finance these
aspirations. A flock Of silk hats, even for waking
use only are not to be had for the asking. And
with them inevitably go a mass of lesser ornaments,
draperies, badges and accoutrements without which
no Secretary of State can properly feel his part.
1t is safe to say that Mr. Bryan will easily achieve
the reputation of being the most ornamental Secre-
tGry of State in the long annals of that Office.
