LAB0R|TES SPLIT
British Unions May Force
Elections in England.
One Section of Party FavOrs
Early Peace.

London, June 24.-The manifesto
issued by eight labor members of the
British government, according to some
Of the morning newspapers, is con-
nected with threats of a serious split
in the labor party, due, some papers
say, to efforts of a pacific group to
embarrass the government in the
prosecution Of the war.
May Break Into Factions.
The Daily Telegraph says that the
party stands in imminent danger of
a cleavage which will divide it into
several warning factions. The Tele-
graph declares that speeches and
actions of the labor ministers have
been twisted and misrepresented to
suit sectional purpose and the minds
of their constituents have been
poisoned by insidious propaganda.
Would Force Labor Out of Coalition.
1t charges that campaign is being
waged ruthlessly to force labor out of
the coalition government and break
up the present administration. George
H. Roberts, minister of labor, and
George Nicoll Barnes, minister with
out portfolio in the war cabinet, are
quoted by the Daily Mail as saying in
an interview that they are so sick of
Tie Iuedn loS anu onvcnOIneQ CdluInny
or their opponents within the party
that they would gladly resign. but feel
that by doing SO they would be shirk-
ing their duty.
Try to Terminate Truce.
The manifesto seems called forth by
the determination of the labor ex-
ecutive to move at q conference fixed
for Wednesday that the political truce
observed by the consent of all parties
since the beginning of the war be
terminated. If this is endorsed by the
conference whenever and wherever an
election occurs an official labor can
didate will oppose a candidate repre-
senting the other parties to the truce
and the position of the labor minis
tiers would become impossible.
Significance Obscure.
The Times says that the precise sig
nificance of the decision of the labor
executive to move a dissolution of the
political truce is somewhat obscure
The reason given is the awkward po-
sition in which the executive is placed
by the action of local branches of the
party, which already have ignored the
truce by running candidates of theil
own against authorized candidates.
The adoption of the resolution would
relieve the executives Of embarra S.
ment by releasing them from the OBJ,
legation to keep faith with the gov.
eminent. The Time; adds:
The executives have failed to en-.
force discipline in the constituencies
weakly surrendering the position tc
the rebellious elements.
Row Between Unions and Socialists
IF the resolution is passed the ex.
ecutive can endorse candidates agains
the government in which they are rep
resented by Mr.. Barnes and his col
| leagues. Behind the situation is 8
deep seated cleavage between two sec
tons of the party-trades union ant
| socialist"

349TH is SAFELY OVER
Rumor That Ship on Which It Sailed
Was Sunk Unfounded.

Rumors to the effect that the ship
on which the 349th machine gun bat
talon. colored, which sailed a few
weeks ago from an Atlantic port. had
been sunk, were revealed to be un-
founded when a card was received this
morning by F. M. Stonestreet, local
undertaken, from his son, W. F. Stone
street, stating that the ship had ar
rived safely overseas.
The card did not state whether the
men had landed in France or Eng
land, but served to indicate that the
battalion was safely across. Stone
street enlisted last June, 1917, in the
headquarters company.

COTTON MARKETS.

NEW ORLEANS. May 11-Heavy
liquidation was felt by cotton today,
with the result that the market went
to a net decline on the opening and
remained down throughout the ses-
sion, standing at its lowest, 81 to 81
points off. and closing at net loss OF
2s to 80 points. Mixed with the liqui-
dation of long cotton was consider
able volume Of offerings from the short
side.
The chief reason for the selling was
the disappointment felt by recent buy
ers over the failure of cold weather to
appear in the northwest portion OF the
belt. Dry weather and fairly high
temperatures were reported over prac-
tically the entire cotton region, making
ideal conditions for bringing up the
new crop.
NEW YORK. May 1.-THE selling
movement which developed in the cot
ton market late yesterday was con-
tinued today and there was further
sharp break in prices. July contracts
sold off to $3.50. making decline OF
50 per bale from yesterdays close
and of 1874 points from the high level
1898. with the general list closing
steady at a net decline Of IS to IS
points.
While selling was stimulated by the
favorable weather map. local brokers
were inclined to attribute the break
to an easier technical position after
last weeks rally of nearly cents per
pound from recent low levela. There
was considerable selling for southern
account both this morning and late
yesterday. which suggested hedging
against actual and Japanese interests
were credited with selling July against
spot purchases.

EVANGELICAL AND OTHERWISE.

ileges OF the federal reserve banks may
be denied to them.
The contention Of the Attorney Gem
eral that the title to checks deposited
with federal reserve banks for coilec-
ton passes to the federal reserve
banks Is in reverse to the claims of the
federal reserve banks that they simply
received the checks for collection, the
depositors receiving immediate credit.
1t looks as IL this decision. while IL
bars universal par check collections for
the time being. might be another wedge
to push the state banks into the fold.

Weekly Metal Review.

The governments requirements for
steel have surpassed all expectations.
Steel interests hope, however, that by
concentration for a time the national
needs will be SO far satisfied as to al
low some supply for private enterprise
but to what extent no prediction is
ventured.
The United States Steel Corporation
during April reduced the untitled tom
mage on it's books by 314.524 tons.
compared with 9,056. 406 tons in March.
built and equipped by the Steel Cor
poration for the government, to manu-
facture heavy guns and projectiles.
The corporation will operate 1t when
complete.
Pig iron production during April is
estin ated at more than 3.270.000 tons
supply is inadequate and will soon
come under closer government regula-
tion.
Some recent sales nf copper are re-
ported. but no activity is expected un-
til the price after May 81 is deter
mined.
Lead is in fair demand and firmer,
with slight advances during the week
L Spelter is also in better demand and
OErm in New York at tn to 7S cents
Tin eased OF toward the close of the
week on selling offers from the far
east. presumably with the intention to
realize profits. Chinese is the only
product available. The price ranges
between 80 cents and $1.11 per pound
