TEN CENT BREAD
 IS FAVORED
Executive Committee of Master Bakers Recommend Higher Priced Loaf Be AdOpted-In- crease Demands it.

Chicago, Sept. S-Recommendations to all bakers of the United States that the five-cent loaf of bread Ue abandoned and the ten-cent loaf standardized, were made at the clos ing session of the executive commit tee of the Master Bakers today. They urged that the recommendation be put into effect immediately.
 Economic waste incident to the man. ufacture of the fve-cent loaf was em- phasized as a reason for its discon- tinuance. Saving in manufacture, inn provement in quality and standardiza- tion are urged in favor of the ten-cent loaf. It also is recommended that where local conditions make it neces- sary, the smaller loaf may be main tained with price consistent with cost of manufacture.
 The bakers cited the following per centage of increase in costs of in- gredients used in the manufacture oi bread within the past two years: Patent four 100, rye 124, sugar G6 shortening 50, milk 40, salt II, wrap ping paper 70, delivery costs also have increased, it was stated, through an advance of 100 per cent in the price oi gasoline and of 25 per cent on feed for horses. The bakers went on re- cord strongly against any attempt tC lower the quality of the bread.
 The conference here was an out growth of the bakers national con- venton at Salt Lake City, at whicr informal resolutions to the same effect were voted.

PRESIDENT PLEDGED
 TO SUFFRAGE
Before Delegates of Association, President Wilson Declared He Would Fight With Them Women Enthusiastic.

Atlantic City, Sept 8.-Triumph for the woman suffrage cause "in a little while" was predicted by Presi- dent Wilson here tonight in a speech before the annual convention of the National American Woman Suffrage Association. q have come here to fight with you," the president de- clared. Immediately 4,000 women present stood and cheered A few minutes later Dr. Anna Howard Shaw, honorary president of the association, with MT. Wilson still present, de- clared. i've have waited long enough to get the vote; we want it, we want it to come during your administra- tion." Again the great audience stood and cheered.
 The presidents pledge of support to the question caused Mrs Carrie Chap man-Catt, president of the organiza- tion, to say in a speech after he closed; You touched our hearts and won our fealtv when you said you came here to fight with us" The president did not speak on the method by which he would bring about suf- frage, but said: We shall not quarrel in the long run as to the method of it."
 The women in their speeches also failed to mention the methods. With Mrs. Wilson he sat during several ad- dresses. Fears expressed before the meeting that he might be heckled did not materialize. At the conclusion of his address Mrs Catt thanked him. for speaking.
 Declaring that sometimes he became little impatient over discussions about the channels through which votes for women are to come, the president caused the delegates to ap- plaud by saying, "I have felt here the wholesome contagion of the occa- sion." Mr Wilson aroused the great est enthusiasm when he said when ever he had come to Atlantic City previously he had come to fight against somebody, but on his present trip he had come to fight with some body

GINNING FIGURES
 SEND COTTON DOWN
Break of P Points, But Part of Loss is Regained at Close Spinners Said to be Fixing
 Prices Here and in Liverpool

New York, Sept. 8.-Unexpectedly heavy ginning figures were followed by further severe break in the cot ton market during today's early trad . ing. December contracts sold off to 15.06c, or 27 points under last nights closing figures and about II points under the high levels of last week, but liquidation then became less active and there were rallies in the late trad ing, with December closing at 1526c. The general list closed steady at net loss of to s points for the day.
 Fairly large ginning returns were expected, but it seemed that no one was prepared for record-breaking fig ures, and in some quarters the census report of 850,032 bales ginned to Sep tember l was considered out of line with recent small estimates of the crop. Liverpool cables were relative ly firm and the market here opened steady.
 Spinners were said to be fixing prices, both here and in Liverpool, and this was one of the factors on the ad- vance of some 20 to 25 points from the low level of the morning. Some of the private wires received from the Southwest said that the interior was beginning to withdraw spot offerings at the decline and local bulls attrib- uted the extraordinary heavy ginning figures to premature opening in some quarters, combined with a rush tc pick in order to secure recently pre- vaihng prices.
 Cotton closed steady.

SHAFT SUNK ON READY BULLION
 A GREAT FEAT

One of tho sreatest enaInoeerlno feats accomplished in the mining world was that which was completed yesterday morning when the new shaft on the Ready Bullion mine was connected up and the upper and low CT ends meet exactly to a hairs breadth. Jack Johnson, chlef sur veyor of the Alaska Treadwell mln' Inc Company, Is the man given credit for thls undertaking.
 The completed shaft Is PASS feet in depth and is on 70 per cent Incline. The accomplishment of this feat lies in the fact that the shaft is the first known in the world to have been sunk on an incline and come out with exactness. The work ings of the shaft were made with both underneath" end above op- erations.
 over year ago the old shaft of the Ready Bullion. which was sunk on a 40 per cent incline had practi- cally accomplished its usefulness The ore body was peirced in another direction and at great expense was being hauled to the old shaft and hoisted. At this time the company decided to sink new one. Mr.. Johnson was entrusted with the un- dertaklng.
 On March 10, 1915. men started at the surface on the new 70 per cent incline work. Men were also started from the lower levels and began working up.
 AS the work progressed stopes were entered. timbered and the bor- ing again started through the solid earth. Mathematical problems were mastered. Work was dispatched with rare accuracy and yesterday morning there was wild exultation. The shaft from below and the shaft from above met exactly.
 The completion of this shaft al- though an expensive undertaking. will be e money saver. Ore will now be hoisted to the surface through It and the old way of hauling ore, in some instances a quarter of a mile, to the old shaft will now be aban- doned. The new shaft will also all low of the filling in of the old work ings.
