MARKET CLOSING HEAVY,
PRICE CHANGES MIXED
Longs Are Inclined to Close Out
standing Contracts in Short
Session Today
Rails Yield Most of Yesterdays
Gains-Offerings Are Mostly in
Small Lots.

NEW YORK. March 25.-The market
was stagnant. with mixed price
changes. during today's short session.
European war area acted as a partial
restraint. but traders were inclined to
close outstanding contracts. apart from
this development.
Such issues as Kennecott and Nevada
Consolidated coppers, American Writ
ing Paper preferred. American Looomo-
tive. Mexican Petroleum and Crucible
Steel featured the duh first hour. with
an overturn of barely 100000 shares.
Rails yielded most of yesterday
gains, Reading showing marked heavi-
ness Investment issues evinced like
trend. The closing was heavy
Bonds were irregular, but Anglo
French SIS were firm.
Trading Is Light.
Fractional changes, with prepon-
derance of gains, attended today's ear
ly dealings.
Trading was light offerings being
mostly in small lots. The only eXcep-
tions were Reading and kennecott
Copper. which changed hands in
amounts ranging from 1000 to 1900
shares.
Advances included Baldwin Locomo-
tive, American Zinc, American Linseed
common and preferred. Pittsburgh Coal
preferred and Mexican Petroleum.
General Motors recovered some of its
recent loss. rising Is to $50.
Crucible Steel, Stude baker and South
ern Pacific were slightly lower. An
glo-French bonds were strong and ac-
tive.
Contraction Features the Week.
Contraction of dealing was. in a way
the most significant feature of the
weeks stock market operations. which
were governed at all times by the ext
gencies or caprices of the trading ele-
ment. Prices rose and fell irregularly
Peace talk and the Mexican situation
furnished the chief impulse.
Munition shares were adversely at
fected by the peace rumors. and Next
cans. particularly petroleum. broke
sharply when advices from across the
border seemed most alarming. Other
specialties, notably metals. were active.
with further heavy transactions in the
so-called zinc stocks.
There was a belated demand for rails.
which impaired degree OF strength
to the general list.

DEMOCRATIC PRESS ON ADAM.
SON LAW.

In the South. where there is local
feeling OF political security. the Demo
cratic newspapers do not mince words
in denouncing President Wilson's cring-
ing surrender to force In the passage
of the Adamson Bill We QUOTE:
From the Augusta (Ga) Chronicle:
Nothing more revolutionary has
been done In any civilized country,
with the possible exception OF Mexico.
since the French Revolution itself.
From what has happened--this
bringing sacrifice Of principle to ex-
pediency-the country has President
Wilson TO thank; for II was he who
first sought to make political capital
out OF this national crisis. or else was
too pitifuily weak to display the
strength OF a strong man in great
emergency. And a plant and sup
plant Congress. fed to mental obesity
out OF the patronage spoon, was only
too easily coerced into following the
Presidents lead"

FARMER TALKS s-HoUR LAW.

III. N. Pope, Of Texas, President of
the Association of Farmers Union
Presidents, is asking the farmers to
urge their Congressman to repeal the
Adamson Law at the next session He
says
"The defenders of the Adamson Law
have had much to say about enamel
pating labor, but how about enslaving
the farmers? If giving to the train
men is virtue, is not taking from the
farmer crime? Has Congress the
power to increase the expenses of in
dustries many millions OF dollars, with
out some one paying the bill? II SO.
then Congress should Immediately as
semble and legislate all people into
idleness and wealth II we extend this
character of benevolent legislation to
all railroad employees as well as to en-
ployes OF all other lines of industry.
1t will take the American wheat crop
to finance the Adamson Law. This Is
an annual contribution which the farm
ers of the country are not financially
able to make and the only way to pre-
vent 1t is to persuade our Congress-
men, no matter what the political
faith, to take this law off the statute
books"

PUBLIC PAYS The

EXPENSE BuRpENEp.
MANAGERS ON THE PAY ROLL
Not Only Are Democratic Campaign
Managers on the Government and
State PayroIIs, But Campaign Liter
allure Is Mailed With Postage at
Public Expense.

Never before in this, nor perhaps in
any other state, have the taxpayers
been SO burdened with party's cam
paign expenses as happens in Ken
lucky this year.
Not only are practically all Of the
members of the Democratic Campaign
Committee on the state or the nations
payroll, but their campaign literature
and letters are being mailed out with
the postage at public expense.
Campaign Chairman Cantrill re-
ceives $500 year as member Of
Congress, Congressman Rouse. Chair
man Of their Speakers Bureau, is on
the government payroll at the same
salary, and Tom Pannell, State Fire
Marshal, receives $4,000 year salary
from the state. The other members
of the Democratic State Campaign
Committee are:
Eli Brown, 8. w. Hagar, Milton
Board, and Forest Butts.
OF these Eli Brown, attorney for the
Insurance Rating Board, receives from
the state a salary of $4,000 year; s..
w. Hagar, member Workingmen's
Compensation Board, at salary Of
$500 a year, and DR.. Milton Board,
medical director of Compensation
Board, at salary of $4,000 year. DR..
Board holds also one or more other
public offices with fees attached. Mr..
Butts is said to be just plain bust
ness man, drawing no public stipend,
and perhaps was placed on the Com
mittee through an oversight.
In addition to offering the Com

HUGHES VS.. WILSON
ON LABOR QUESTION
Real Attitude Of Rival Candidates
Toward Labor 10 Happily
ObtaInable.

Their real attitude toward laboring
men is happily obtainable as the fol-
lowing incidents will show.
Just after Mr.. Hughes election to
the Supreme Court bench the Legisla-
tive Labor News. the official organ Of
the New York State Federation Of
Labor, said Of him:
Now that Governor Hughes has re-
tired from politics and assembled to
place on the highest judicial tribunal
In the world, the fact can be acknowl-
edged without hurting anybody's po-
litical corns that he was the greatest
friend of labor laws that ever occu-
pied the Governors chair at Albany.
During his two terms he has signed
fifty-six labor laws. including among
them the best labor laws ever enacted
In this or any other state"
Compare this record of Mr.. Hughes
with the statement OF Mr.. Wilson In
his baccalaureate sermon to three
thousand students Of Princeton Uni.
versity In 1909, before he had heard
the buzzing of the Presidential bee:
you know what the usual standard
OF the employe is In our day. II is to
give as little as he may for his wages
Labor is standardized by the trades
unions and this is the standard to
which he is made TO conform"

ROOSEVELT SCORES
IN RECENT SPEECH.
MEXICO OFFERS MOST STRIKING
INSTANCE OF CONTRAST BE,
TWEEN WORDS AND DEEDS
ON PART OF THE GOVERNMENT
On Almost Every Question, President
Wilson Has Occupied at Least Two
Dramatically Opposite Positions
Fine Words Without Force.

Some things Col. Roosevelt said in
his Kentucky speeches:
When was President took the
view that no one had right to speak
untruthfully OF the President or Of
anyone else, but that even less than
anyone else ought the President to
escape from truthful criticism.
apply to others only the standard
by which asked that / myself be
treated.
President Wilson by his policy Of
tame submission TO insult and injury
from all whom he feared has invited
the murder of our men. women and
children by Mexican bandits on land
and by German submarines on the
sea.
Mexico offers the most striking in
stance OF contrast between words and
deeds on the part OF our government.
Mr.. Wilson speaks loftily on behalf
of Oppressed men and pitiful wom-
en-" in the abstract, but when the
forces of Carranza and villa MUIR
dered American man and outraged
American women, acting under the d.
rect authority OF their leaders, Mr..
Wilson made no effective protest of
any kind; and in his speech OF accept
ance he has actually apologized for
these men on the ground that they
represented at least the fierce pas
sions OF reconstruction which lies at
the very heart OF liberty" II Is diff
cult to speak patiently OF such an ut
terance, when we remember the In
fanny which 1t covers, and the abject
submission to infamy for which 1t
seeks to apologize.
Il was also announced in the public
press that one hundred million dollars
was expended in Gen. Pershings ex-
petition into Mexico. and that we are
now expanding fifteen million dollars
a week to keep one hundred and fifty
thousand men on the border OF Mex,
leo In order to enable Mr.. Wilson to
continue to wage peace with that
country.
believe In labor unions. But be-
1ieve first and foremost In liberty and
Justice obtained through the union to
which all OF us belong. the Union Of
all the people OF the United States. /
believe in the eight-hour day as the
general rule toward which we must
strive; but / recognize that special
needs must be met in special indus
tries, and that In all such cases there
must be very careful consideration OF
all the conditions before final action
is taken. In this case. however. the
eight-hour day Is not the issue. The
issue is an increase OF wages. given
by law, without previous investigation
or knowledge. The principle Of the
eight-hour day is not at issue and is
adroitly invoked merely to cloak the
real issue.
