MINERS DECLARE WAR ON THE
U. S. STEEL CORPORATION
The striking iron ore miners are
standing like a solid rock against
the attempts of the United States
Steel Corporation to force them
back to their pits.
The steel trust has imported an
army of ruffian gunner who do not
even respect womanhood. A gun
man was killed and II l. w. w. or
ganizers, none of whom were near
the scene, are charged with first de-
gree murder.
This is the story labor organizers
have brought to Chicago from the
Minnesota iron range.
cit is a declaration of war against
the steel trust and the independent
mining companies of Minnesota by
the workers." said VIM. Haywood,
national l. w. w. leader.
1.-THE iron miners are mastering.
10000 have left the mines and pits.
cit is the iron miner who pro-
duces the ore that is converted into
iron and steel to make the machin-
cry of the world. Without these
men civilization could not exist.
These barehanded iron miners, driv-
en- to desperation, have declared
war against the U. S. Steel Corpor-
alton.
with the women and children,
nearly 100000 are involved. The
mines are tied up tight. Hunger
and privation are the only things
that will break this strike. Money is
needed for relief, defense and or
ganization."
Contributions to the I. w. fund
for relief of the Minnesota iron
miners should be addressed to VIM.

sition and preventing the hrmer rates which looked probable a week or two ago. Thus far the exchange situation has been skillfully handled, in spite of enormous foreign pur- chases of munitions, etc, and what with the establishment of large credits, the return of foreign invest ments and gold imports, the situa- tion is well under control Our home business outlook continues very sat isfactory Crops are rather back ward the composite average of con- dition, according to the government report, being g per cent. below last year, chiefly on account of injury to wheat Farmers, however, are se- curing good prices for their crops, and in view of the surplus wheat car ried over no scarcity is anticipated.
 Fruits and hay promise big yields. Nearly all producers of raw materials tura1 and mineral products alike. Many divisions of labor, especially those engaged in munitions, are secur- ing abnorma11y high wages, and these promote trade activity. { War profits have stimulated trade in many direc- tions, in some cases to the point of ex- travagance.
 If we look at the reverse situation, the unfavorable factors are fairly nu- merous. and somewhat spotty. Per haps the most unfavorable feature is the Mexican situation, which, is threat ening and will probably develop with more or less c1earness during the next few weeks. Another element of weak ness is the liquidation in intuition shares, which are inevitably affected by the shrinkage of orders in that di- rection. The motor stocks have also come somewhat into disfavor, owing to the recent manipulation, also the fail ure of the newly proposed combination which should be really regarded as a wholesome feature, inasmuch as 1t proves that the best of banking opin- ion is opposed to such wholesale and questionable promotion schemes. Had this hotation been successful it would undoubtedly have excited much hostile criticism and probably started anpth- CT anti-corporation movement.
 The steady offering of American stocks held abroad has tended to pre- vent recovery in railroad shares and high grade investments that might otherwise have occurred. Rumors of a British bond issue were probably without foundation, and due to the dis tribution of a large block of these bonds as dividend by a prominent nlu- nitions concern. A Russian loan of $5O,OOO,OO was offered and quickly ta- ken. It is also reported that a French loan is impending, and other nations are seeking fresh credits.
 | Between these two sets of conditions the balance appears to favor mode rate1y hopeful views. Certain speci- fic nearby prospects are good, while the more distant outlook is uncertain. From either standpoint, careful dis crimination is necessary. Many of the speculative issues have had a big rise and further liquidation is in prospect 1 On the other hand, the better class of ] investments, particularly the railroads, have been somewhat neglected. There | is an abundance of money seeking
 employment, and well chosen invest fnents can be made with confidence.

PREDICT GROWTH OF REALTY VALUE AT 100 PER GENT.
Bankers Swamped With Cash Deposits Which
 Break All Records.

Bridgeport property will increase between 50 and 100 per cent. in value during the next year. This is the belief of many bankers and realty men in Bridgeport today.
 Indications at local banks point to the greatest years for deposits and loans in the history of the city, with constantly increasing ralty values. Samuel M. Haw1ey, secretary and treasurer of the Bridgeport Savings Bank, one of the financial authorities of the city, today said:
 There is no question that 1916 will be the greatest banking year ever seen in Bridgeport. The deposits coming into banks are enormous and have surpassed at this season even the maximum record of last year and a greater amount of 1oan1s on new build ings are being made in proportion.
 While would not care to pro- phesy for publication any specific in- crease in the value of realty, it would rapid strides and it would not be sur prising if double vacues were attain ed.
 f'As realty values are based merely upon that of personal opinion. nobody can foretell just what extent proper ties have already advanced or will in the future.''
 Prominent real estate operators de- clare that values have jumped to a high degree within the last year and declare that on the average, proper ties that could be purchased for a certain consideration six months ago average over 25 per cent. increase at this time.

(Henry Clews.)


 Because of numerous and strongly conflicting forces a very mixed situa- ton exists in the financial district. The war is being more vigorously pushed than ever and, aside from fearful waste of life, is costing over $8O, O,0OO,0oO daily. a goodly portion of which is coming this way. This latter sum is not all additional loss, because many millions would be spent in any event for feeding and clothing the millions of men if engaged in peace full pursuits. Armies and navies would have to be paid for even in time of peace, and it should be re- membered that the territory and in dustriaI plants of two of the most important belligerents have escaped thus far without damage. The awful i struggle has cost terribly in blood and wealth, some losses being entirely be- yond calculation; but some deduc- tions have to be made from current outlays, and nothing is gained by ex- aggeration or miscaculation. The financial position of some of the bel1ig- erents will be a serious matter of ad- justment when peace comes, and that i period cannot be safely predicted There is a. very suggestive growth or optimism in this direction. and belief grows with strange persistence that the war will end during the present
  full winter.
 Expectation of peace must have some foundation; though whether it has it's origin in weariness of spirit among those who suffer or recOgni- tion of coming disaster by those who govern. cannot be determined. Per ihaps war madness is giving way to peace sanity at least let us hope so.
 As peace approaches this country will gradually adjust itself to the new conditions. A few departments of in dustry may suffer, but many more will benefit by return to the normal. Temporary reactions may come with or after peace, but it stands to reason that in the long run the world will benefit by the restoration of product i've efforts and the stoppage of des- truction. Very likely the recuperative powers of all the contestants will be greater than expected. We will lose much of the munition traffic, but may look for expansion in steel and other Industries, in foreign trade, in ship ping and in development of the many enterprises deferred by war. This country is wonderfully strong indus tria.lly and financially, and is better prepared in many respects for trade expansion than any other nation.
 The nomination of MT. Wilson means a check to extreme radical ism. As already stated in these ad- vices, the chief issues will be patriot ism, preparedness and the tariff, the two former including a more vigorous though peaceful foreign policy. Since there is no great division of opinion about these problems, the outlook is for a comparatively quiet, although lively campaign. The output of new legislation will be at a minimum.
