At the end of tho second hour Of the

engaged in pounding on the lines.
In the final hour there was con-
siderable gathering of profits by the
bears, resulting in advances of more
or less importance in a number of the
leading stocks. but many minor shares
continued weak right UP to the close.
Reading came back very firm to the
high of the morning. Steel, Crucible

Russian Troops in France.

That a strong force of Russian
troops should have been sent to
France is amazing. But why
Russians and not British? Why
are Russian troops brought clear
from Eastern Europe when a
few miles away across the Eng
lish Channel, are hundreds of
thousands of British soldiers who
have not yet been under fire?
Great Britain has raised an army
100000, and by compulsory
service is increasing it rapidly.
Is it so paralyzed by the fear of
a German invasion of England
that it dare not exert its strength
in rendering aid to France? The
British military policy of pro-
crastination is to day the most
puzzling aspect of the war.
For the past twenty months
Russia has been under constant
attack by Germany and Austria
and has suffered tremendous
losses. By comparison, in Flan-
ders and France, at Gallipoli and
Mesopotamia, Great Britian's
losses have been relatively light.
If Russia can move troops for
its ally's sake to the western
front it must be from supreme
confidence in its own ability to
hold Germany and Austria in
check from the Baltic to Balkans
and drive home its campaign
against the Turks in the Cauca.

American Federation of Labor.
Wage advances were general the
country over in virtually every
line of industry and laws bene-
fitting labor were put on the
statute books of every State in
the Union except five.
Wage increases were greatest
in the metal trades, many of
which were stimulated by war
orders. Cotton manufacturing
was the only main industry
which did not grant substantial
increases. The metal trades,
too, claimed the greatest number
of strikes during the year, though
many plants increased the pay
of their men and cut working
hours voluntarily.
One benefit brought by the in
dustrial revival which labor of
ficials consider as important as
increases in wages was the eff

has disappeared within the past
year.
Obviously labor is doing pretty
well at the present writing, and
generally speaking, there seems
little cause for dissatisfaction.
