RELIEF BODY NDORSED
BY SECRETARY Lane
Lauds Aims of the Government EN-
ployes' Mutual Associa-
tion in Letter.
HAS MEMBERSHIP OF ABOUT 100

Secretary of Interior Lane yesterday
in letter to the Government Employees
Mutual Relief Association gave tais cor
dial Endorsement to its purposes.
This association Is organized for mu-
tual relief in cases OF accident or H.
ness and is composed Of about 200 menu
bers of various bureaus of the Depart
ment of the Interior and other depart
ments, particularly those employing field
forces. The association is organized on
a purely mutual basis and provides Tor
benefits on account Of expenses result
fig from accident. illness or death, ana
for indemnity for loss of time during
periods when the employe is sick or in
jured and is not drawing pay from the
government Secretary Lanes letter Is
as follows:
THE Government Employees Mutual
Reliaf Association is based on the under
lying principle of mutual self-help. Mem
bership in this association will ahord
aid i'm cases of illness and accident and
cause the person who is so unfortunate
MS to be visited by these caiamities to
feel that he will have some financial
assistance in his time of need. 1t should
be a matter of honor among employees
that death, illness or accident shall not
render necessary an appeal to their as
,sociates for assistance.
THE idea of this, association appeals
to me as an enlightened method Of CO.
operation to meet such unfortunate con-
ditions and alleviate the financial dis
tress that so often accompanies them.

WEEKLY REVIEW OF TRADE
Situation Continues Irregular, Although Better
Feeling Is Prepalent-Recent Improvement
Been Somewhat Sentimental.

New York, Jan. 3o.-Bradstreet's to-
morrow will say:
Most developments of tine week are
favorable. There is no apparent dim
mutton of the tone Of optimism which
has been in evidence since the closing
weeks of 1918.
Further ease in money is noted the
world over. borne of increased offerings
of capital.
rates in two years and many oversub-
scriptions Of bond issues are examples
of this.
I'm several lines, as for instance
numbering, automobile manufacturing
wool buying. and placing of orders for
cotton and woolen goods, there is more
doing than for sometime past. In iron
and steel, on the other hand, there in
rather less in the way of new orders
being placed. though mil capacity and
output is one-ffth larger than in De-
cember.
I'm the textile trades, features are
the steadiness OF raw cotton, the in
creased activity in demand for cotton
yarns. the placing of good orders for
spring dress goods, with some liberal
fall business also placed. Improvement
is noted in demand for wooden yarns.
following the opening of fall mems and
women's wear goods at low prices, and
heavy sales of raw wool are reported
at producing centers in the West. Re-
ports from the shoe trade are that East
ern factories are well supplied with
spring orders. but that fall business is
visible only in a widespread placing of
sample orders. Price commodity changes
are not very important: in fact, steadi-
ness is the most notable feature in the
leading cereals and Nn cotton.
"Business failures for the week end
ing January . were 49a, which compares
with 434 last week. 3s1 in the like week
Of 1913. az in 1sl2, 80 in ISL. and ~
in 1910"

New York, Jan. Or. C. Dunn d Co.
review tomorrow will say:
Recent improvement in business con-
dition is in some measure sentimental
and certain branches of trade and indus
try have not shared in the forward
movement to any appreciable extent.
BRIEFLY summed up. the situation con-
tinues Irregular although there Is tangi-
bIe reason for the better feeling prevail
ont Another reassuring feature is the
fact that the turning point in iron and
steel seems to have been definitely
reached, with the enlarged mill opera
tions providing for an increased employ
ment of labor.
"A number of iron and steel plants are
now running at a higher rate and some
forward business is being placed.
Conditions in the primary dry goods
markets have improved materially since
the opening of the year. with many indi-
cations of renewed interest on the part of
retailers. Firmness prevails in percales
and deliveries on old contracts are tardy,
while considerable business has been
booked on the better known grades OF
sheetings.
"A good demand is reported for some
varieties of leather, but trade generally
is not active. Although at this period OF
the year, when inventories have been
completed, buyers usually take on addi-
tional supplies, yet thus far new orders
have failed to meet expectations.
Irregular fluctuations were the rule in
the markets for the leading farm staples,
although the cereals gained something in
price. Relatively more firmness was
shown by corn than wheat. Early de-
velopments in wheat were bearish. but
thereafter the undertone of quotations
became hrmer. Domestic visible supplies
decreased and predictions Of cold wave
caused some apprehension regarding win
ter wheat"

GLADSTONE DEFENDS COURSE.

Cape Town, South Africa, Jan. go
The absolute necessity for martial law
in the recent railway strike was en-
phasized today by Lord Gladstone. the

South Africa.
Lord Gladstone's speech was con-
strued as an answer to the British Ia
bor party conference at Glasgow,
