Of Gotham Financiers' Radical Move.
That the voluntary and decisive
action of the firm of ]. p. Morgan &
Co. in taking the initiative in adjust
ing conditions that has brought the
firm under a steady fire of public
criticism will result in a greatly i'm.
proved business situation is the
opinion of New York bankers.
The dominant note in the comments
of bankers was that the action of the
Morgan firm was long step in ad
vance and that it meant that big bust
ness was meeting the government and
public sentiment more than half way.
The opportunity of taking advantage
of changed sentiment regarding df
rectorships in order to carry out their
own preference in the matter is the
reason for the sweeping policy OF
Withdrawals from corporate director.

In the announcement J. p. Morgan
said that he and his four partners
had retired from thirty directorships

of their leading interests.
The principal companies in which
dictatorship is retained are:
Among industrials: United States

Among railroads; Northern Pacific,

ayers of every coal comrany in Penn

that suggestions for safety are hot
being followed out. In case of per.
sistent violation OF directions for
safety the inspectors are instructed
to institute suits. In his letter to the
mining officers Chief Roderick says:
"The most prolific causes of acci-
dents inside the mines are falls, cars,
blasts, gas falling into shafts or
slopes, suffocation and explosives
During the first eleven months Of 1918
5l0 lives were lost inside the mines
as against 463 for the first eleven

Duns Review of Trade says this
week:
"At the opening of the new year 1t
is gratifying to note that 1913 was
the most successful period from an
agricultural standpoint that this coun-
try has ever witnessed. Notwlthstand-
ing adverse climatic conditions the
total yield of wheat surpassed all for
mer records and while the corn crop
fell considerably below the banner
production of the preceding year high
er prices more than compensated for
any loss in output. Consequently, the

Explanation of colors of Leaves.

In extremely moist atmosphere the
color of the leaves are not usually very
bright, as in England. And in very
dry climates the leaves dry up sud-
denly, and their skin, which is very
thick to prevent the escape of moist
ure, is not sufficiently transparent to
allow the color to be seen beneath. In
regions where the autumn foliage is
most vivid we find that an average sea-
son produces the most exquisite colors.
Neither very dry nor very wet sum-
mer will result in much brilliancy.

Postponed on Account Of Democratic
Prosperity.

For the first time in thirty years,
there will be no Labor Day parade in
New York City this fall. The labor
unions have decided to take the money
the parade would cost and use it to re-
lieve unemployed union men.
In times past. in New York City,
many thousands of union men have
marched on the first Monday in Sep
TENDER. Their parades have been
spectacular. No money was spared in
making them success. The horses in
the parade were union-shod and the
men union equipped. There were union
bands and union badges. There were
union-made uniforms and union refresh
ments. So that the expense to the
union men for their Labor Day parade,
in one way or another, led to an ex-
penditure running into a great sum of
money. All this is to be foregone this
year and the union very commercially,
will turn the money to help their I'M
employed brothers.
This instance of practical charity on
the part of union organizations is at
tracing wide attention over the coun-
try and has caused considerable COM
ment, especially in view of President
Wilson's statement that the hard times
are purely psychological.
One good natured working man says
he is sure getting psychological pay
checks" He also says he is buying
psychological shoes" and probably
will soon be eating out of ''psycholog.
ical dinner pail"
