Strike OF Mechanics for a Time Tied

Labor News.

Thousands of mechanics employed
in several large shipyards adjacent to
Newark, N. j., quit work after n reso-
luton had been adopted at d, meeting
OF business agents of the building
trades council authorizing a strike of
all union men engaged on government
work in the territory. The strike
stopped all work on dozen shipways
in course of construction st the federal
shipbuilding plant, where hundreds of
dock workers, carpenters, bricklayers,
plumbers, roofers and other union men
walked out. A few hundred laborers
and other nonunion men remained at

strike was called to prevent the Lack
awana Bridge company, contractors,
from "disrupting union conditions by
discriminating against union men and
working under the open-shop basis"

Before the construction of the Suez

United States government and our AL
lies are pending. and will keep plants
fully employed for a long time to
come. Tt is reported by a Wall street
news bureau that large interests have
lately changed their attitude toward
the stock market on account of prior
knowledge of these big metal orders,
and have, been buying heavily. Saw
ings bank deposits have been with
drawn rather freely Of late. 1t is un-
derstood that this is due to the desire
of individuals to- subscribe to the new
Liberty Loan. The withdrawal has
been responsible for some of the SELL
ing of investment securities by the
savings banks.
st. Paul's big decline in the stock
has brought forth information of a
character which suggests that the
road is well fortified to pull through
extraordinary difficulties which have
lately beset 1t. B. C. Forbes, in a
special article written for .Leslie's, af-
ter calling attention to the great work
of the retiring president, - Albert J.
EARRING, says: Thanks to the fore
sight of the management this com
pany owns lands carrying some twenty
billion feet of timber now valued at
more than sixty million doliars-and
the st. Paul railway, not any favored
circle of insiders, owne, through the
milwaukee Land Co., every acre and
every tree of this, an asset Of rapidly
increasing value; whereas it was worth
little before transportation Brought it
within reach of the worlds lumber
hungry markets What mineral wealth
this vast expanse of land may con-
tain no one can guess. Ownership of
more than four hundred townsttes, ac-
quired at a nominal price before the
new road was built, is also vested en-
ltirely in the company, an asset which
Is destined greatly to enrich the stock
holders. The ST., Paul has probably
more untrumpeted assets, so-called
hidden assets than any other Pa
ctffc railroad, and the day may be
coming when the~management as the
fruit of its foresight, will be able to
repeat the Aladdin-like trick of James
| J. Hill when he dipped his hand into
a back pocket and brought forth his
famous Great Northern Ore certifi-
Gates to the value Of $50 900, 900 to s75,-
100000. The future of the milwaukee
Land Co. the wholly-owned sllbsi-
diary, which holds the St. Paul's tim
Der lands and townsites, will Re worth
watching. Because the st. Paul has
lately lowered its common stock div
idend to per cent, there has beer
wave of pessimism concerning its

WATSON'S WEEKLY
MARKET LETTER

Lack of confidence has continued to
make for liquidation of securities on
the New York stock Exchange. From
our point of view, we cannot under
stand why Washington does not en-
deavor to encourage sentiment and
hold values in Wall street, creating
thereby a feeling which would ramify
to large percentage OF, the public
and prove an additional stimulus for
a larger subscription to the Liberty
Loan bonds. 1t is to be hoped that
as the time. approaches for the closing
of the books of the Liberty Loan,
some action will be taken to induce
subscriptions to come in more rapidly.
We must all do our bit.
The eassing OF the Peoples Gas
dividend during the week is con-
spicuous example of the effect of COM
mission government with its petty
policies. Like the railroads, these
public utilities as rule have their
rates for service fixed; but there is no
limit to the rising cost Of materials
and labor. Hence. when commissions
exact new SERVICE, improvements or
extensions, companies are forced to
pass dividends to comply with unjust
demands. This Is one of the things
that has contributed to unsettle in
vestment confidence and cause capital
to refuse to lend itself to enterprises
subjected to restrictions such as han
dicapp the utilities and great trans
portation companies. "Well.' says a
member of the Stock Exchange: Gov
