Make Accidents Unavoidable.

This condition is not temporary, but
permanently and it is submitted that no
human being, working under such cir
cumstances. can possibly perform his
duties in an efficient manner. Because
of the extraordinary care demanded of
motorman on street railways in sub
serving the public safety and avoiding
accidents, they should not be compell-
ed to work from twelve to sixteen
hours day and make runs with in
termissions of two or three hours sleep
and rest. If they are SO required ac-
cidents are unavoidable and the mo-
torman should be absolved' from blame
The conditions enumerated above ex-
fst in connection with motormen hav-
ing regular runs as well as substitutes.
1t is fundamentally wrong and inhu-
man to permit such conditions. and it
Is intrinsically unjust to the public to
be compelled to ride in the street rail-
way cars operated by overworked en-
pioyes
We. therefore, urgently request that
the matter be investigated and this
monstrous condition corrected"

WALL STREET MARKET
SHOWS IRRECULAR|TY
Heavy Selling of Steel Common Is a
Decided Feature, But offerings
Are Well Absorbed.
Gains and Losses More or Less Even
ly nvided-Important Changes
Being in Specialties.

NEW YORK. November 19.-There
was considerable activity in the New
York stock market. at times decided
inactivity. strength and likewise weak
ness. from which it may be inferred
that it was traders market.
One of the features that seemed to
stand out most prominent was the enor-
nous liquidation of Steel common. 1t
came out in blocks of 1000 to 5,OOO
shares and 1000 to 5000 share lots.
This action led to the belief that the
syndicate back of the Anglo French
bond loan had acquired a very large
amount of stock about the time the
loan was foated in order to strengthen
the market in hopes of making the loan
a greater success.
Since then immense blocks of stock have
met every point or fractional rise and still
the absorption goes on. the buying power
being excellent and backed by the reports
of large orders, sufficient to keep the
wheels in the mills a-turning for many
months to come.
This, with the ease of money, Is the
backbone Of the market. although weak
spots developing here and there and
pressure on the list occasionally. with the
discrimination of the bankers on the old
time so-called war stocks, give the list
frequent setbacks.
In the early operations of the day the
rails again came to the front at the ex-
pense of the specfaltieS, some gains be-
ing made followed by general weak turn
in the specialties before the end Of the
first hour
Then. when the bulls took charge of
General Motors, Texas Oil. Montana
Power and Pullman Company, for gains
of to II points, the whole list stead
led and recoveries were the order OF
the noon hour.
In the earlier trading large blocks of
Anaconda were thrown on the market
and Eries as well. the liquidation in
these stocks being nearly as heavy as
the selling of Steel common.
Studebaker was ex-dividend and also
ex-rights. the former 213 per cent and
the latter az, making 81 points off
from Thursdays levels. The stock
16019, dropped to 156 and recovered to
160. The weakness of the stock, be-
fore the announcement of the ex-
rights, may have been responsible for
part of the early break, recovered
later.
Oil Shares Decidedly Strong.
Just few Of the leaders in the oil and
motor stocks showed better strength as
Of the afternoon.
The oil shares were decidedly strong,
with Texas Oil advancing from 81, Thurs
days final, to 81; Mexican Petroleum i'm
proved points and California Petroleum
more than full point.
Steel common stood the pressure well
until the middle of the second hour Of
the afternoon. when the greater part Of
its half-point gain was lost. and 1t held
around 81.
Baldwin Locomotive recovered most of
its 3 point loss. Maxwell Motors showed
a small net loss as did Beet Sugar, Dis
tillers and General Electric.
In the rails fractional gains were
made In Atchison. Baltimore and Ohio.
New Haven; three-Quarter in Northern
Pacific, Norfolk and Western, Reading
and some Others while Union Pacific,
Northwestern and Pennsylvania were
easier.

Nearby Corn Options Only Firm.

Adverse weather gave firmhess to near
by options in corn. The deferred de iveries
however. sympathized with the weakness
of wheat. After opening unchanged to
Y higher, the market scored moderate
gains for December. but May tended to
sag.
Oats were in better demand than for
some time. Several leading firms took
conspicuous part in the buying.
Strength in the hog market lifted pro-
visions. Lard shorts covered freely.
Additional wheat declines resulted
from rumors that there would be a
general refusal by dealers to sell
grain for export unless the purchaser
assumed all the risk after a delivery
aboard ship. 1t was said. also, that
much wheat bought for Greece was
likely to be resold on this side of the
Atlantic. The close was steady, 1eass
to &aA net lower, with December at
LOAN and May at LOGS.
Subsequently. decided general up
turn for corn was brought about by ad-
vices that the movement of new corn
was not increasing as rapidly as ex-
pected. The close was strong at IA
IL to IL net advance.

CHICAGO, November 19.-Wheat prices

by reports that the activity of hostile

italian vessels canceling trips from the

tions at Liverpool had only transient
effect here. The unsettled weather re-
ceived also but little attention.
Opening prices, which ranged from

Officials Deny Charges.

Officials of the railway company to-
day said no complaints had been re-
ceived by the company other than the
ones forwarded to it by the commits
sion. They took the ground that work
ing conditions. as regard schedule and
pay. are satisfactory. and that the COM
plants represent only a few disSrun-
tied employees and not the views of the
rank and file.
The latest protest is a strenuous plea
for a more equitable schedule of hours.
Substitutes are often required to re-
port at 4:50 or 5:5s am. only to learn
that there is no run for them at that
time it states, and continues:
They then are compelled to return
at noon. when they may or may not
get anything to do. Or perchance they
may get late run. going off duty at
2 am. and being compelled to report
for duty again in a couple of hours,
thus not allowing sufficient time to go
home for rest Some of the men, on
account of the shortness of the
periods off duty, are actually compelled
to snatch two or three hours OF dis
turbed sleep on the benches in the
car barn and then start on another
run,
