New York. Feb. !, Wall Street, 10:30 a. m.-The reactionary tendency shown by the stock market in yes terday's late session became more pronounced at the outset of today's operations, some of the important shares finding their lowest level Tor the current movement.

United States Steel was relatively steady. but Bethlehem Steel yielded a point of yesterdays gain. London once more reflected a heavy undertQne for in- ternationals, with New York Central Union Pacific and Reading the spe- cial features.

CARNEGIE 1EST|f|ES
 BEFORE COMMISSION
Donations Up to Close Of 1914
 TotaNed $324,657,399

New York, Feb. 5.-Andrew Carne- gie went on the witness stand today before the federal industrial relations commission and testified that up to the close of 1914 his donations totClled S324,657,399.
 The work still goes bravely on,' said the iron master. 'I am indeed most fortunate man and think my self in nothing else so happy as in a soul rememb bering my dear friends, to Whom l owe so much"
 After MT. Carnegie had settled him. self in the witness chair and prepared to read his statement. which he had prepared in advance, he was asked what his business was.
 To Do Good in World.
 My business" he replied, lis to do all the good in the world that I can.'
 MT. Carnegic's statement was in part as follows:
 "I never bought or sold shares on the exchange; all my earnings were from manufa acturing. 1t if were nec- essary for me to return to that calling ] should not consider the problem of labor as at all difficult. On the con- trary, l enjoyed conferences with our men. We had one rule, come what may: We would never think of run ming our works with new men. Abier, sober. Well-behaved workmen such as OUTS were not to be picked up on tn Q streets and we wished TO others We were very particular in regard to drinking; first offense men were ex- cluded thirty days; second ofiense sixty days; third offense we parted company"
 One Serious Disaster.
 Mir. Carnegie said that he had had only "one serious disaster with labor" This was at the time Of the riot at Homestead, Pa.
 Mir. Carnegie was abroad at the time and when he heard of it wanted to return home, but his partners re- quested him not to do so.
 Some of the men ul the works" MT. Carnegie said, "cabled me Kind Master, tell us what you want us to do and we will do it TOT you
 Wages Were Advanced.
 Wages were advanced 30 per cent. Mir. Carnegie said, after that incident. This was one half of the percentage of the increased product of the mills. MT. Carnegie cited his introduction of the semi-montly pay and his selling coal and other supplies to his en- ployes at cost to help them. He con- tinued:
 All this reveals steady progress upward and onward to the benefit of both labor and capltar which will some day rank as one, notwithstand. ing the hesitation to cooperate shown by some labor champions who are still extremists and do capitalists in justice; but this must steadily fade away.

CANADA DISTURBED BY
 RECRUITING SLUMP 
Needed Quota Of Volunteers for E.
 ! Third Contingent Lacking.

Ottawa, Feb. 5.-The last couple of weeks have witnessed a disturbing Slump in recruiting throughout the dominion, especially in the rural districts, and the fact is giving the military authorities no little concern. M Less than two weeks ago it was Spredicted that enough volunteers for the third contingent would be enlist ca Within ten days, and the recruiting An. the larger centers was sufficiently sbrlsk to warrant the belief. Toronto and some of the western districts furnished the required number of men for their divisions, but the returns sfror the rural districts and small stowns in Ontario are decidely dis 6eouragins.
 Very Few Volunteers.
 In cities like London, Windsor, ;ChatEnm, S. Thomas, Strathray, Giinton, Woodstock. Sarnia, Stratford, Wa,kerton and Berlin not moro than .33 per cent. of the neded quota of Volunteers for the third contingent have thus far come forward, in spite f1f all advertising campaign carried on fby the newspapers. This falling off in recrUiting is caustically commented i,por ii the press, and the Toronto Globe declares that it is time for Cana dians to wake up.' Pointing out t!lat notwithstanding all their talk rct more than 500 Canadians have yet been under fire the Globe says:
 Z. Tt is disquieting to learn that in fural Ontario the recruiting for the fJird contingent has been d failure. Tn the cities and larger towns the
 E11t scarcely one in four of the number required from smaller places has come forward. Do the young men Of rural Canada understand that Bel giars. Trenchmen. Russians and Serbs Sie lighting not only for the secur- ;:T of their own lands, but for the maintenance of Canadian liberty? We shall not do very much to destroy Ge,nlan militarism by singing Tip perary' at hockey matches Refuse to Volunteer.
 The Ottawa Journal, which is con- sidered the mouthpiece of the gov ernment, refers to the able bodied men who refuse to volunteer ss 'the strikers, the street corner boys, the cheap sort who sheer at all sort of Soldering and adds that it is "a beauty of conscription that it not only gathers in such calves to the service of their country but improves them." \ The proposal is made that mem hers of parliament conduct recruit ing campaigns in their constituencies, and it is even suggested that Sir Rob- ert Borden and Sir Wilfrd Laurier tour the country in a call for vol tlnteers. One reason advanced for the apparent apathy of the young men of the Dominion is the long per iod of ina activity undergone by the first contingent at Salisbury Plain. It is believed that as soon as the first division has left for the front and the casualty list begin to come in there will be return to the enthu- 1 Hiasm for enlistment. which charac- terized the first weeks of the war
