Denver labor bulletin., 1917-10-06
Blacksniths

An appeal has been made to Secre-
tary of Labor Wilson to settle the
strike of blacksmiths on the Denver
& Rio Grande railroad system, which
affects about two hundred men in DEN
yer who left the shops more than two
months ago. Representatives of the
railroad, of the men and of the state
industrial commission at Utah who
have been trying to reach an agree
ment in negotiations lately at Salt
Lake City found they could not come
to an understanding after confer
ence among them. William NJ. Knorr
of the Utah industrial commission
made the appeal to the secretary of
labor. Five hundred men altogether
were involved in the controversy. The
Denver men and men employed in
other Colorado shops of the system
constitute more than half the number.
Negotiations carried on in Denver at
the opening of the strike failed. The
blacksmiths are demanding an advance
of cents an hour. The railroad is
willing to concede cents an hour, but
the strikers say that even an advance
of 8 cents would not equal the pay
blacksmiths are receiving from other
concerns. President Wilson has ap-
pointed Judge Musser to act as fed
eral mediator in an effort to settle the
strike.

Features of Bank Statement.

The outstanding feature of the bank
statement was the extraordinary
changes shown in average and actual
conditions. Under the average system
loans increased almost S55.o00.0o0 and
reserves decreased about S61.000,0o0.
In the actual table loans decreased by
over s51,O00.000 and reserves gained
s4,421,O00. This indicates a very ex-
tensive readjustment of loans in the
later days of the week. following pay
ment of a 80 per cent instaliment on
the liberty loan.
Bonds were slightly lower in specu-
lative issues. Liberty 3 Il S ranged from
SO. so to 1886. Total bond sales (par
value), 81 ,425.000.

Financial aspects of a dull week in
the stock market were almost COM
pletely submerged in the widespread
interest created by the peace proposals
from the Vatican. The Importance of
that development found its chief ex-
preston in the further abstention of
investment inquiry and the cautious
aggressions of the bear faction.
The general setback in rails was di
rectly traceable to the foreign situation
except in SO far they were influenced
by reports of federal supervision of

encouraged by reports OF an easier spot

TRADING IN SECURITIES
At LOW SUMMER Ebb

Amounted to Less Than
100000 Shares.
By the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, August 1s.-Business
on the stock exchange today fell to
lowest ebb of the summer season, the
turnover in the two-hour session
scarcely amounting to 100000 shares.
Price movements were in keeping with
these stagnant conditions. although
recessions outnumbered gains.
Rails reflected additional moderate
pressure on further rumors of forth
coming governmental regulation. Del
aware and Hudson registered the new
low record of 1929 before it rallied to
los. st. Paul was fairly steady in con-
nection with reports of new and more
energetic management.
United States Steel forfeited only a
slight fraction after an early advance.
but Bethlehem and Lackawanna steels
made extreme declines of l to 1 u

Company, American Wooden and United
States Rubber. United Fruit lost at
its worst. despite the strength of other
shippings.

worthy speciality. fiuctuating within

and affiliated issues moved within the

Higher Money Likely.

Bankers do not hesitate to express
the opinion that money rates are likely
to continue very strong and that s per
cent will probably be the ruling rate
save on collateral security.
Corporations needing financing have
found 1t necessary to sell their short
term notes on to 61z per cent basis
in order to get the accommodations.
The United States willingness to pay
4 per cent for money, if affirmed by
Congress. will be but one evidence OF
the strength of the demand.

BUSY at the Banks.

Local bankers say that the volume
of business in July and so far during
the current month. has established new
records. Newcomers by the thousands
have brought much money here. and
the army of contractors, large manu-
facturers. lawyers and transients gem
orally have helped general business
and the hotel trade immensely.
Fewer people have left the city than
usual. the difficulty In obtaining en-
ployes and the doubled and trebled
work incident to the conduct OF the
work of the day in the departments
preventing many vacations.
During the last few days a new line
of business has developed and reached
considerable activity. Soldiers, officers.
men of the rank and file are arranging
for the deposit OF their pay, salaries
and wage. and the transfer of part of
their funds to French banks, where
they may draw against it. once they are
on the other side. The boys are also
arranging their business affairs with
foresight, and. on the advice of bank
ers, with prudence.
