Mixed Prosperity Shown
By Government Statistics

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10.-G sneral
business conditions throughout the
country In the closing weeks of 1918
are revealed in q report just issueo
by the committee on statistics and
standards of the Chamber of Com
merce of the United States from
facts gathered by a corps of trained
and competent observers.
Any general statement as to con-
ditions of manufacturing throughout
the United States would at present be
both misleading and inaccurate, the
report maintains, since this condition
varies according to locality and the
nature of the product. The textile
industry is adjusting itself to changed
conditions resulting from a decrease
in tariff rates, but the effect so far
does not justify previous apprehen-
sions. The paper manufacturing
business is below normal while shoe
manufacturing is good with the pros
pect of an advance in prices. This is
true likewise of the leather tanning
industry. All manufacturing con-
nected intimately with the railroad
and with the steel and iron industries
is necessarily feeling the depression
of these two great branches of bust
ness.
What has been said of the varia-
Atlanta Georgian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1912-1939, 1914-01-11

ton in different manufacturing
branches applies particularly to New
England, where the conditions are
much mixed. The decline in the
price of stocks of the New York, New
Haven and Hartford and the Boston
and Maine Railroads. and the pass
ing of dividends has exercised a Sc
rious effect throughout New England
where these stocks have been looked
upon largely as investments.
Throughout the South Atlantic
States mercantile business is in good
volume. This is true also in general
throughout the West and South. Bust
ness varies much in these sections
according to locality. Where crops
were good business is fairly active
and in sections where crop returns
last year were poor, business IS cor
respondingly quiet. The crops of 1918
were on the average below normal,
and Notwithstanding the high prices
which they command the effect of
this great loss has been widespread
even beyond those sections where
crop returns were poor Apparently
this fact has much to do with the
quietness and tt conservatism Of
business in many sections
Throughout the Central West, de-
spite the drouth, there Is a general
feeling of hopefulness for the future
in all lines Of industry.

CALLS TRUST LAW
MENACE TO LABOR
Samuel Gompers Sounds Warn
ing to Followers in Fedora
ZIONIST Editorial.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1O-"Tht
Sherman law as now interpreted anc
applied constitutes the most seriou:
menace to the labor movement"
Thus Samuel Gompers. president o.
the American Federation of Labor. il
an editorial in the January Fedora
zionist, sounds a warning to his fol
lowers. He asserts that the life o.
organized labor is at stake, and eX-
presses alarm at the indictment o.
officials of the United Mine Workers
because of their activities in Yves
Virginia
The editorial says, in part:
The law. which was intended to
benefit human lives, TO prevent or
check monopoly and absolute
control of the products of labor
and soil, to assure to the people
the necessities of life, at reason
able prices, has proved useless in
establishing control or regulation
over trusts and monopolies.
In spirit of glee these same
monopolies, trusts and corpora
tons, unframed by the law
which was to have regulated
them, now turn this law against
the human beings who were to
have been protected.
Gompers demands that the Wilson
Administration give substance to its
conviction If it is not in favor OF
outlawing organized labor"

COURT DECIDES
BANK CAN H0LD
CHECKPAYMENT.
Fact That Paper Is Genuine Does
Not Estop Cashier From
Using Discretion.

CHICAGO, Jan. 1o.-The Appella..
Division OF the Supreme Court bv
unanimous opinion handed down To-
day holds in effect that a bank NAV
delay payment on a check even
though the check be genuine, and
further holds that the bank NAV On
on paying out money on checks that
keep coming in after the presenta.
ton of any certain genuine check on
which the bank prefers to DELAY paw
ment
The opinion was written BY Jus
tice Mclaughlin, and was rendered in
the case Of Henry Hentz, who sued
the National City Bank to recover
$4,000.
Hentz alleged IN his complaint that
the firm of Lathrop, Haskins & Co,
on January IS, 1910, made out a check
to him for the amount sued upon.
Hentz further alleged that he in
dorsed the check and deposited it
with the Mechanics National Bank
and that on January 10, 1910, the Me-
chanics National Bank presented the
check for payment to the National
City Bank through the clearing
house, according TO custom.
The check was presented to the
National City Bank at 1915 O'Clock
In the morning, Hentz alleges and
was held by the defendant bank until
2 o'clock in the afternoon In the
meantime at 1890 o'clock that same
day, Lathrop, Haskins & Co. made an
assignment. Then the National City
Bank, at 2 o'clock sent the check
back to the clearing house on the
ground OF the assignment being made
by Lathrop, Haskins & Co.
TIE case came up originally before
Justice Philbin. The bank held that
it was acting within its rights in
holding up the check. and could do 50
to see whether the check were good
or not. Justice Philbin ruled that
Hentz had stated sufficient facts to
have the suit tried. The bank ap-
pealed from this decision. The APP
pellate Court to-day reverses Justice
Philbin. The Appellate Division, how
ever, permits the plaintiff, Hentz, to
start anew by serving an amended
complaint on the bank.

Cant Get S27,565
Lost by Wire Error

ALBANY, n. Y, Jan. 1o.-Unless
through gross negligence the tele-
graph company is not responsible for
errors made in a message, the Court
Of Appeals held to-day in the case of

The resignation of mem

Excess Of Exports Over Imports
for the Past Eleven Months
About $74O,OOO,OOO.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1o.-Ameri-
cas- foreign commerce in 1913 totaled
approximately s4,250,000 900.
Imports of the eleven months ended
November 80 were $1,609, 900 900, and
should December imports equal No
vember's the total for the full year
would be s1,756,OOO, 900
Exports for the eleven months were
S2,251, 100000, and with December's
equal to November's the total would
be $2,497, 200, 900. Excess of exports
over imports would therefore approx

This balance OF trade will exceed
that of any earlier year
In imports the total for 1918 will be
below 1912, but larger than any year
preceding 1912. This decline in 1913
is due largely TO reduced prices of
certain imports. While sugar import
ed in the ten months ended with De-
tober exceeded the corresponding pc
Rod of 1912 by 1858, 000, 900 pounds. the
value was $22, 100000 less

ports decreased $1,500000 in value.
Manufacturers materials as group
declined about 5 per cent, compared
with the corresponding period last
year, due, in part, to a reduction in
prices and, in some instances, In
