The department Of labor has
been accused OF partisanship in
the conduct Of its affairs. n Sc
curing Justice to those who earn
their living by the sweat Of their
faces is partisanship then count
me partisan on the side Of the
man that IaborS.
The department OF labor also
has been accused OF partisanship
on the theory that In acting as
mediator in labor disputes it Is
performing a judicial function.
That is not true. It performs
diplomatic functions. There Is
no more reason why the depart
ment Of labor should be barred
from handling labor disputes in
} a diplomatic manner than there
Is for barring the state depart
ment from handling information
al disputes.
} What we want In handling la
Dor disputes are men who are
experienced and level headed
and who understand the techni-
caIities involved. In carrying
out its work the department
takes men who are experienced
and have the technical knowl-
edge of the employees side and
also men who are experienced
and have the knowledge Of the
employers side and sends them
out to perform their work.-Sec-

Anniversary Finds Prices Irregular,
But With Firm Undertone
.... Of Demand.

NEW YORK, December 11.-Not the
least interesting feature of today's
short session was the fact that 1t
marked the first anniversary Of the re-
sumption of dealings on the stock ex-
change, after the enforced closure OF
virtually four and a half months due
to the outbreak Of the war.
There was this added difference, how
ever, that when business was resumed
a year ago trading was on very re-
stricted and limited basis. Today every
part of the stock and bond list was
open to full and free operation. More
over, many issues altogether unknown
last year have since leaped into extra
ordinary prominence.
Prices Are Irregular.
Prices were extremely irregular at
the opening. United States Steel fell y
to S5A and Canadian Pacific declined
IL to 17s, while war shares were frac-
tionally lower. A demand for railway
shares, with New York Central leading
the movement, soon restored losses and
substituted general gains. New York
Central rose 2A to 105A In connection
with rumors that the dividend was soon
to be increased.
Other features OF strehS.H' III lhdl

New Haven, Union Pacific and the

Of the more conspicuous war issues, re-

Demand Brings an UpIift
In Iron and Steel Prices

NEW YORK, December 11.-Excite-
ment and higher prices attended heavy
transactions in pig iron this week,
725,000 tons having been sold. Stirring
events were of almost daily occurrence
In the steel trade; prices of rolled steel
generally were irregularly higher.
Interest in export business was re-
vived by urgent inquiries for forged
and rolled steel aggregating 100000
TONS Half of this was for direct ex-
port to France in 1915. and the re-
mainder included 5000 cannon and
1000, 900 rifles for Russia; $4,000 tons
Of steel rounds and forgings for Italy:
$4,000 tons of 2M inches square bars
twelve feet long for Canada: $4,000
tons of bars for shells to be manufac-
tured here for France, and 10000 tons
of plates for cars to be built in this

Selling War Bond Futures.

Persistent selling of the Anglo
French per cent war bonds, for deliv-
cry after the dissolution of the bank
ing syndicate which hoated the $780,
100000 issue, was more than a senti-
mental factor. The bonds sold in that
way as'low as 94A, decline of IA be-
low the price of direct participation.
Some of these offerings were doubt
less made to impair confidence in the
investment situation; in effect origi-
mated with the short interest.
Counterbalancing r these unfavorable
factors were such developments as
further forward movement in practi-
cally all lines of business, with result
ant betterment in railway earnings, in
creased dividend disbursements by nu-
merous copper and industrial compa-
MES and, more than all, the remarkable
tonnage statement for November sub
mitted by the United States Steel Cor
poration.
Gain in Steel Orders.
The gain of over 100000 tons has
only once before been exceeded, and
insures full capacity of operations at
very favorable prices for many months
of the coming year.

In one chair sat a beautiful girl,
her lips tightly closed, her eyes star

muscle tense with powerful effort
Of self-control. In another sat a
young man whose face expressed Sc
riousness but confidence. In his hand
he held an open watch which he OBJ
served closely, only raising his eyes
now and then to glance at the beauti-
full girl, who seemed to be in such
agony. ~
