Another Wage
Increase for the
Steel Workers
E. H. Gary Announces 10
Per Cent Advance, Efec-
tive October /

Workers Of the United States Steel
Corporation, both skilled and unskilled,
will be given another increase of 10
per cent in wages on October /. This
bert II. Gary, chairman of the board of
directors, will make the fifth to be
granted by the big Steel Corporation
to its laboring forces since the begin
ming Of 1916, when the steel industry
began to pile UP huge profits on war
orders. An increase of 10 per cent
was granted May last.
More than $SO,OOO,OOO annually will
be added to the payroll of the corpora
ton as result of the increase just
announced, and approximately 275,OOO

whom are classed as unskilled labor.
These men have been receiving on an
average SO a day; when the increase
becomes effective their wages will be
$3.50 a day.
Curb on Labor Troubles
Other important steel companies, as
is their custom, are expected to follow
the lead of the United States Steel
Corporation in granting Of higher
wages, and thereby prevent any posi-
Bile labor disturbance on a wide scale
in the industry. The Bethlehem Steel
Corporation, the Crucible Steel Com
pany. the Youngstown Sheet and Tube
Company, the Lackawanna Steel Com
pany and the Republic Iron and Steel
Company are among those expected to
take similar action. 1t is estimated
that in the Youngstown, Ohio. district
wage increases will affect $4,000 men,
about 5000 of whom are employees of
the United States Steel Corporation.
Wages received by the workmen Of
the Steel Corporation after the first
of next month will be about 60 per
cent higher than in January, 1916.
In 1915 the average number of en-
ployes was l,l26, and in 1916 it
ranged from 232,540 to 265,9l9. Total
salaries and wages paid by the corpo-
ration in 1916 amounted to S263, 1885,
SOP, but at the close of this year it is
figured that about S50,000,OOO will
have been added to that amount.

The copper market, like the steel
market, has been more or less con-
fused in recent weeks by the delay
or the part Of the government in an
nouncing its price fixing policy.
Lately the demand for the metal has
undergone a revival, with the result
that in recent days there has been
greater market activity than in sew
eral months. The National Conduit
and Gable Company, one of the large
consumers Of copper, in its monthly
summary Of the situation says: "a
revival of confidence in the sound
ness of the present copper situation
is not surprising. Enormous require
ments are looming up, while it is
simultaneously apparent that tenn
pCrary curtailment of surplus ap-
pears inevitably certain, owing to re-
cent shutdowns at several mines on
account Of labor troubles. With the
total capacity operations of some of
the most important producing prop
critics greatly reduced during the
last three or four months, the VOL
ume of output is restricted to a
point where a shortage Of metal may
possibly develop unless demand eases
up somewhat" Current copper mar
ket values show a shrinkage Of
around 10 cents a pound, compared
with selling prices quoted last March.
This substantial decline has put the
market on a more reasonable and
sounder foundation, inasmuch as 25-
cent metal is not nearly as hazardous
a proposition as copper at 80 cents.
The United States Liberty 81
per cent bonds have displayed pro-
nounced strength throughout the
week. Large blocks have been
bought on the Stock Exchange at
par. The return of the bonds to par
has been brought about largely by
the purchases of persons of means,
who look upon the SIS as a splendid
investment owing to the fact that
they are tax exempt. Moreover, the
peace talk has probably had some
thing to do with the movement in
the bonds.

 Wheat trading was at a complete standsti1l the greater part of the ses- sion as far as futures were concern ed. Appearances indicated that, in accord with government policy all out standing debts would be settled. Price changes were too slight to have any special significance.
 Talk of export business at the sea board tended to lift the days market. Corn strength was also a bullish in- f1uence.
 Provisions broke sharply, despite an advance in hog quotations.

NEW YORK. August 14.-The stock market gave promise at the outset of today's more active trading of continu- ing its irregular rise of the previous session but reversed it's course on ex- tensive selling prompted by the peace proposals from Rome.
 Additional reason for concern was furnished by the gyrations of various specialties under pool control.
 War shares were steadily liquidated after peace reports gained currency. United States Steel fell to 123A fin ishing a slight fraction above it's min mum. Sugars yielded one 10 two points with feathers and secondary equipments. In general final prices were only slightly over lowest quota tions.

 told my husband I thought Cardui would help me, as lady who lived next door to me had taken great deal, and told me to try it. This was when we were living in Kentucky.
 My husband got me a bottle and I took it according to directions. It helped me so much that he went back and got me another bottle. I got whole lot better and just quit taking it. I got over the dizzy spells. | took no other medicine at that time nor since for this trouble. No, I've never regretted taking Cardui.
 I felt just fine when I finished the second bottle"

SHERIFF WHEELER ID ATTEND LEON SPRINGS
 TRAINING CAMP SOON

Shediff Harry Wheeler. of this coun-
 ty, has not given up the attempt to
 go into the service of his country. He
 has been called to the training camp
 of the officers reserve at Leon
 Springs, Texas. Sheriff Wheeler was in the Presidio training camp but failed in the required physical train ing camp, notwithstanding the fact this county for so many years regard ed him equal to many stronger looking
 men when it comes to enduring hard
 ships. Many hours at a time he has been in the saddle or working an auto mobile over all sorts of bad roads in the discharge of his official duties. days and nights without stop. While the departure of Sheriff Wheeler would be regretted generally through cut the county, still his friends would be- glad to see him succeed in reaching the goal of his ambition which is to join the colors in the defense Of his country Sheriff Wheeler has filled the office of sheriff here for five years and has done so in a manner which has won the highest praise and admi- ration for his display of courage and devotion to duty. Before he was sheriff he was captain of the Arizona rangers where he rendered efficient service to the state. His ac- ton at Bisbee, where he had charge of the deportation of the l. W. w. has made Sheriff Wheeler a national char acter. Good luck, sheriff, you will carry with you wherever you go the best wishes of the loyal citizens of Cochise county.-Douglas Information al.

PLANS FOR RELIEVING
 COAL SHORTAGE ARE FORMED IN CAPITAL
(By Review Leased Wire.)

WASHINGTON, Aug. 14.-Plans for relieving the coal shortage in the northwest by a system of preferential shipments were formed today at the conference of officials, railroad men and coal operators and may ultimately call on President Wilson for eXecu- tive approval to make them effective.
 The plan adopted by unanimous res olution contemplates furnishing bitum- inous coal operators who can ship Co Cleveland and eastern lake ports 100 per cent car service with the under standing that they will ship 50 per cent of their output to lake ports for re-shipment to northwestern territory ports. Daniel c. Willard, chairman Of the advisory commission of the council F. s. Peabody and c. NJ. Sheaffer as aides to carry the plan to some auth ority for final veto Or approval. The authority was not named, but inas- much as the power to order preferen- tial shipments now rests solely with President Wilson it is assumed the proposal will go to him unless he ap- points a preferential shipment board to handle such problems.
 Under the plan adopted Mir. Peabody and other members of the conference said the entire great northwestern prob lem will be solved and the New Eng land situation improved, while other sections of the country probably would be adequately cared for rail transpor. tation.
 Much of the session was devoted to discussion by George Cameron, a mem Der of the Peabody commission, and George L. Peck, vice president of the Pennsylvania lines, over the right Of railroads to declare embargoes.
 MT. Peabody declared that he did believe there was a car shortage, but that the coal emergency was causd by utilities storing in vast quantities of coal. One utility, he said he had heard, had years supply of coal in storage.
Bisbee daily review., 1917-08-15

NEW YORK, August 14.-Peace pro posals said to have come from the Pope caused a sharp break in today's market, especially in the industrial stocks which have profited by the war. The railroad shares continue in good demand and were strengthened by report that the car service com mission had ordered immediate distri- button of 10000 empty cars to the South and Southwest to facilitate prompt movement of grains, food, lum- Der and munitions.
 The opinion is gaining ground that the price fixing program of the gov ernment in its entirety can have, noth- ing more than the effect of working to the advantage of the railroads and it seems reasonable to assume that a broader demand for shares of this type will be but natural sequence. We favor the short side of Indus trials. .V

statesmen realize that once considera- ton of any part of the pOpe's proposals begins, pacifists and Socialist ele. ments are at once enabled to take up discussions which will embarrass their governments.
 Presidents Views
 President Wilson's own view of what reply shall be made obviously cannot be accurately assessed at the present time. His latest public pronounce ments on the most vital of the propos- als Pope Benedict makes are interest ing.
 Vhe nthe new Russian government waA wavering on the point of making a separate peace and declaring for no annexatioEs and no indemnities, the president in a message to the Russian peoplet, declared:
 ''Of course the imperial German gov ernment and those whom it is using for their own undoing are seeking to obtain pledges that the war will end in the restoration of the status quo ante It was the status quo ante out of which this iniquitous war issued forth; the power wielded by the i'm perial German government within the empire and it's widespread domination and influence outside that empire. That status must be altered in such fashion as to prevent any such hideous thing from happening again"
 Two days later in his Flag day ad- dress the president, referring to the military masters of Germany. said:
 Must Check Autocracy
 ''If they can secure peace now with the immense advantages still in their hands which they have up to this point gained, they will have jus tified themselves before the German people; they will have gained by force what they promised to gain by it; an immense expansion of German power: an immense enlargement of German industrial and commercial opportuni- ties. Their prestige would be secure and with tnelr prestlSe the polltlcal power"
 In his war message to congress the president declared for spending the force of the nation, if need be, to check and nullify teh pretensions and power of the German military autocracy. This phrase, now universally accepted as the war aim of the allies. the entente diplomats here contend, hardly fits in with a restoration of the status quo before the war, a return of Germany's and no restitution for Bel gium
 The one point on which Germany might stick, diplomats feel. is the re- storation of Alsace-Lorraine. These because of their mineral de- posits, are not only necessary to the existence of Germany, they say, but in the hands of France gain would constitute military menace to the whole world.
