ANOTHER ECHO.

Another echo OF the business de
preston is furnished by the Cambria
Steel Company. OF Philadelphia. which
has declared a quarterly dividend in
script. redeemable in two years. for
the reason that the earnings for the
eight months. ending September sOth
were the smallest in the history OF
the company. This was not owing to
lack of confidence. but a shrinkage
OF business.
Those who are on the inside are
confidently looking for a sharp cut in
the quarterly dividend OF the United
States Steel Corporation on common
stock. caused by the steadily decreas.
ing record in untitled tonnage. And
so IL goes throughout the industrial in.
terests the country over.

WHAT 1T DID FOR LABOR.

In this city last week a Democratic
speaker told his audience what won
derful things Congress had done for
labor in enacting an eight-hour day.
which only applies to government con-
tracts and does not affect the labor
market anywhere else in the country.
But why didn't the speaker add. "and
we also destroyed the opportunity of
the laborer to work eight hours.
What is the good OF shortened hours
OF labor when there are no longer
hours OF work? What is the use Of
telling a man out Of employment that
the Democratic party has been his sal
walton when he knows 1t has only been
his greatest enemy? Yes. the Demo.
cratic party has shortened the hours
OF labor. Where II has not wiped out
weekly employment altogether q las
shortened the number OF work days in
the week Ask the 1000 TO 5000 idle
men in the Wheeling district about ID.
