Steel Earnings.
The publication Tuesday of the sec
ond quarterly report of the United
States Steel Corporation brought in
tense satisfaction to the financial dis
trict. The report shows a record
king jump in earnings, which for
this quarter amounted to S2S,00O.000,
and We're based on the flood of orders
resulting from the demands of home
and foreign enterprises. The railroads
have been especially active in this dl-
rection, and orders for steel furnish
ines have exceeded expectations.
The Improvement in the steel trade
has been well known toy everybody.
Nevertheless, this weeks quarterly
statement of the steel Corporation has
given new emphasis to that improve
ment as an influence in the general
situation. The earnings for the first
quarter of the year were the smallest
in the history of the corporation. The
earnings for the second quarter We're
m re than double those of the preced-
ing quarter. and We're larger than the
earnings of the second quarter in three
out of the last five years. What is
more the progressive Improvement

g. Davies Warfeld, chairman of the

worried about conditions in that SEE

country look better" Mr.. Warfeld was
quoted as saying. Il had an excep-

farmers, planters, bankers, cotton mill
men and others. and the general YER

IS 15,1O8,O11 BALES
Figures Presented by Secretary Hes
ter Apply to Commercial
Offerings.

NEW ORLEANS. July 31.-The COM
mercial cotton crop in the United States

tary Hester of the New Orleans Cotton

bles. the largest ever used by south
ern mills in any one year.
Figures Considered Notable.
The figures showing the amount of
cotton brought out into the market for
the year 1914-15 are considered espe-
cially notable in view of the depres-
sion incident to the European war and
its effect upon general business condi-
tons.
According to Mr.. Testers statement,
the commercial crop for the present
year exceeded that of year before last
by 1.001,S95 bales. but showed a de-
crease under that of 1911-12 of 1.OGO,-
'C7S bales.
Southern Consumption Growth.
The record figures for southern con-
sumption this year, Mr.. Hester's state
ment shows, exceeds last years total
by I0O1O2 bales and that of the year
before last by 20S,144 bales.
Secretary Hester expects to issue,
within a few days, a detailed state
ment including this years port move
ments. exports and the worlds con-
sumption of American cotton.

JUDGE FRY COMES OUT FOR
OUR MOTHERS-IN-LAW

trouble-makers by Asst States Atty
Arkln IN the court of domestic rela-
tons, are being warmly defended
since the publication of the story.
Judge Fry, who presided over
the court frequently, is the first to
protest vigorously. He says:
Il cannot agree with the statement
OF Asst States Atty Arkin, assigned
to the court of domestic relations,
that rs per cent of the troubles there
are attributable to mothers-in-law
and that mothers-in-law should not
be permitted to come into the court
room when cases are heard
After Mr.. Arkin has had a longer
experience in the court of domestic
relations he will modify his views.
My observation, covering a long
term in that court, is that the moth
er-ln-law is very much abused. The
statistics of that court show that 6
per cent of the cases are charged to
the interference of mothers-in-law.
My observation was that was plenty
high enough.
Il visited Judge Edward J. Dooley
III Lne brooklyn court OF domestic re-
lations last summer This is the pio-
neer court of domestic relations. The
statistics of this court give IA per
cent as the number of cases charged
to mother-in-law interference.
my observation was that after the
mother-in-law had been a good Sa-
marian and had fed friend husband,
IL Ill
the wife, when the break came and
she refused longer to maintain the
family, then the gallant husband in
court charged her with being respon-
sible for all his troubles. There is a
vast difference between charges and
proof"
Thus once aaSin is mother-in-law
INDICATED and by good authority.

CHANCE FOR BALDWIN TO HELP

When is a final decree not final

against labor is in danger of being
set aside because Of the caFelessness

the mattresses that has ever been is
sued, restraining them from at
tempting to get So a week and L day
rest in seven by unionizing restaur-
ants, fifty of which they had not
even approached, H. M. Wilkerson
and Dudley Taylor, star attorneys OF
the restaurant bosses, forgot one lit
tie point of law. They forgot to file
a certificate of evidence which must
be made part of every decree and
without which it may be set aside.
The little oversight was not noticed
when the decree was signed and the
bosses chance to rectty II gone, DuC
the law says that the defendants may
have sixty days to file certificate
of evidence and the attorneys for the
restaurant combine, compliments IN
the case of Knab, Powers, Fitting and
the rest of the bosses against the
mattresses have been pleading with
Hope Thompson, attorney for the
mattresses, to file the certificate of
evidence on behalf of the mattresses
so that the decree granted the bosses
may be safe.
This Thompson has naturally re-
fused to do and the attorneys for the
bosses now have the matter before
