ClarI's Letter

(By private wire to s. R. Stuart & Co)
 New Orleans, September 5.-Over- night developments show plainly that the break yesterday was due mainly 10 the demoralization In Wall street. Yes terday's stock market review says a break of several dollars in industriais did not worry Wall street much, but when the old standard railroad stocks began to break 2, and points, 1t aroused attention and for a time even the oldest traders were overWhelmed by the rapidity of the decline.
 The cause for the weakness was found in the gloomy outlook for rail roads on account of the war ana otner causes, such as tightening money rates leading to apprehension of restatc- tions of stock trading. Cotton itself IS probably low enough and the marke in shape to rally on spot resistance ana decline in crop prospects, but with the demoralization in Wall street, the lHi- mediate course is in doubt. However after such a decline and conslderlns the defensive power of the south, conservative buying policy seems tne only logical one. ,n
 The market opened unchanged to lo points lower with trading very hght and apparently waiting for news ana developments in New York. It rallied Is points soon after the call but proke 90 points in one breath, when New York recoiled little. showing the ap- prehensive fear which prevails over the situation in Wall street.
 Opinion in New York seems thor oughly pessimistic. With teehnical con ditions hulIish. however, growing spot resistance and prices to cents lower there could be quick rallies on the least encouragement in politics or finance.

OPERATORS ARE SILENT

Respecting the situation. operators last night declined to express them selves. They reiterated. however, ex pressions of determination to the ef feet that under no circumstances would they recognize the union. As to the report that from last night at II o'clock no union miner would again work under present conditions in the Birmingham district, 10 comment from operators was forthcoming
 It is anticipated that immediately on reconvening this morning the dele gates will begin agitation for prompt and conclusive action. They will in sist, il is said. that the agreement be repudiated They will next, it is in- dicated. elect officers in sympathy with their plans to strike. They will next. IT is understood, pass a resolution de. claring strikes in all mines
 They are apparently determined to proceed in knowledge that they will encounter the opposition of their na- tional organization and the nationa. government. and that by breaking over the restraining hand of their qualified leaders. they will practically wreck their union.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1917-09-06
NO NATIONAL ASSISTANCE

As has been previously pointed out, it is generally accepted as true thar if the miners declare strikes in the Birmingham district they will not re- ceive the assistance of the national organization. William Diamond, rep 'resenting that organization. is expected today to deliver a message to that effect direct from headquarters eTo newspaper men he declared last night:
 Any message that I might be en- trusted with will be delivered first to the convention. However. I will say this: There can be no legal deelara- tion of a strike until a resolution pro- viding for such strike is referred to and indorsed by the executive commit tee of the national organizations"
 It is unmistakably true that the min CTS, proceeding in their determination to strike. entertain the theory that on account of the nation wide demand for labor, local operators would find it i'm possible to import skilled workmen to take their places. They have evil dently convinced themselves that on account of the foregoing the operators will be compelled to yield to the point of recognizing the union, or making it necessary that the national govern ment commander all mining proper ties in the district,
