CHICAGO GRAIN.
B, JOSEPH Z. PRIrCHARp.

Chicago. Jan. 8.-F1uctuatiOns in corn Ia
tures today were narrow and final prices showed
small change, as compared with the prevailing
close There was nothing IN the news TO ma
terially influence prices though it vas reported
that farmers arc more disposed TO sell the grain,
and with a larger supply Of transportation ia
cilities available a freer movement is expected.
Cash com was strong and unchanged. Oats
closed at a net advance uf &c to nc Most Of
this strength vas a reflection Uf the storm
which was raging in the West Friday night and
today and the promise Of lower temperature pos
sibly to the middle Of the coming week. Shorts
bought freely IN order to even up their positions
before prices were forced to higher levels. and
IN addition to this buying considerable oats
were taken by investors.
More cash oats are wanted tn take Ot
orders untitled by exporters. and there must be
some accumulation in the various positions to
prevent shorts from becoming alarmed and bid.
ding the price still higher. 1t is generally be-
lieyed that the longs are healed by a coterie Of
Eastern speculstors. who are known as exporters
There were small advances in the market for
hog products, and this, too, in the face Of
sharply lower prices at the yards for hogs
The decline on the hoof today brought the
price down around the minimum Of $3.50 set by
the Food Administration. There was no pres
sure on products, and q very modest demand
served to advance prices easily.

What the Publisher Gives.

What does the publisher offer free
besides his definite services on specl-
fed lines Of thought? He gives Amer
lea free such an education as 1t never
could have gained in any other way.
God knows America needs education
these days. Without our newspapers
and national periodicals. We shall be
yet longer only an aggregation OF
racial groups and not indeed q nation.
The welding of America, the unifica-
ton of America, the exaltation OF
America in any noble and lofty pur-
pose-that comes about not through
any edict in Washington, but through
the unpaid pages of the great periodi-
calls of America. No industry in
the world has done so much as they

so much deserves the thanks of l;Iis

try and the understanding or this
country.

For Worms in Chickens.

From the Financial Ticker

Anaconda Copper Mining Co., has
a big year in prospect despite 23lh
cent copper, high operating costs and
war taxes. Recent strength in shares
has been due to realization that the
company stands a good chance Of
earning $4,000 900 or $1S share after
all charges and taxes are deducted.
This would be on a par with the 1917
estimate. Now that operations have
returned to normal It is predicted that
no interference with output. Ana
conda should turn out $50, ZOO. 900
pounds of copper Net profits Of sSO,-
10000 applicable to the 2,331. $50 shares
this year would be sll.350, 900 In ex-
cess OF the IS dividend requirement
Mr.. Savage, the new president OF
the Northwest Savings Bank, said yes
terday: Recently our capital was
paid up in full with a surplus Of 10
per cent. Since the comptroller's call
Of November our deposits have In
creased over SIS. 900. In the spring we

The Right to Organize.

Conspiracy! The Supreme Court OF
the United States holds that en-
ployers may legally operate their
plants as open shops" and many by
q injunction prevent conspiracies to
bring non-union employees into labor
organizations. The opinions were
, rendered in the cases of the Hitch
man Coal and Coke Company and
the Eagle Glass Manufacturing Com
pany OF West Virginia. The court
held the Hitchman Company was
within its rights I'm employing men on
condition that they be not members
Of the United Mine Workers, and
that he Miners Union was guilty Of
conspiracy in attempting secretly to
enlarge its membership among the
employees of the Hitchman Company.
The court reaffirmed the right Of
workmen to organize, but also held
that at Is erroneous to assume that
all measures which may be resorted
to in the effort to unionize mine
are lawful IL they are peaceable-
that is, il they stop short of physical
violence or coercion through fear of
it." The purpose of the Miners Union
was TO secure so many members
among the employees of the Hitchman
Company that by strike, or threat to
strike, the plaintiff would be intimi-
dated to unionize the mine. This the
court held to be unlawful conspiracy
The decision is another step in the
freedom of labor, the freedom of
every man to sell his labor without
being subject to coercion from any
organization. 1t is in line with Mr..
Roosevelt's action when. as Presi-
dent, he kept the government print
ing shops open, and with the recent
order of Postmaster General Burle-
son in preventing postal employees

MOTOR SHARES Lead
IN STRONG MARKET.
Some Accumulation of Long Stocks
Feature Of Day.
nv RRoApAN WALL.

New York. Jan. 2S.-stocks closed
strong both on the exchange and
the curb, with motor shares in
leadership. Beoth fisheries, hide
and leather and many of the rails
were higher. Trading was on q
light scale, but in addition to pro-
fessional covering against the
holidays there was some accumuia-
tion OF long stocks because Of .
belief that conditions will be much
better when the market reopens on
Tuesday.
Oncial announcement was made
OF the purchase by the Tobacco
Products Company, of the Falk To.
bacco Company, payment being
partly in cash and partly in pre-
ferred stock.
The advance in hide and leather
preferred was due to employment of
II. W. Coverdale, the engineer who
will go through the plants OF the
company and reallgn them SO as to
get the greatest operating effici-
ency.
Bethslshem Steel and United
States Steel directors meet Tues
day TO announce the dividend rates.
No change from the present rates
is expected. Both companies can
well AFFORD to maintain these dIyi-
dends. as payments are made out
OF 1917 earnings.
Both companies are also assured
all the work they can do as far
ahead as they can look into the fu-
ture. The demand for more big
guns helps Bethlehem.
The astounding deal alleged to
have been planned by the Mercan-
tile Marine directors for sale OF all
the company's ships under the Brit
ish nag to a British syndicate at a
price far under their current value
Is on by expiration of the option
given.
Denver preferred was weak on
announcement that a receiver had
hnally been appointed for the prop
erty. Canadian Pacific was strong
IN expectation of close relations
with the Dominion government. An
railroad stocks showed the effect OF
the legislation now going through
Congress in their behalf.
Copper stocks were strong be-
cause OF the splendid profits guar
anteed by the government when II
agreed not to reduce the price of
the metal below the 23h per cent
hEure established some months ago.
The actual bank statement today
showed an increase in surplus re-
serves Of S2s,005.53O, an increase in
loans Of s7s,ss3,OOO and a decrease
IN net demand deposits of $4,000
