Workmen Refuse to Strike.

Two instances which reveal the de-
sire of workmen TO aid the nation
even under difficulties are reported
from Houston, Tex, and Detroit,
Mich.
In Houston a number OF shipyard
workers were about 10 strike They
resented a proposed cut in pay and
complained that back pay due them
had not been given them. At the
earnest suggestion of labor leaders
they resolved to remain at work un-
til all possible means of settlement
had been attempted, in order not to
hamper the nations shipbuilding pro-
gram
In Detroit another group Of work
men, II is reported, are receiving only
21I1 cents an hour. whereas they are
supposed to receive so cents. These
men have agreed not to strike until
their employers have baked at all
other means OF settlement OF the
difficulty.

There were net advances OF 3aic. The NONem-

November sold frum l.2l to l.3. closing at the
highest level reached; December from LIS to

ing spots for the two latter months were close
to the highest levels Of the session and those
who sold corn late in order TO secure profits
were not Obliged to offer this grain downward.
Eastern Advices received on the board OF
trade today say that six steamers are to be
loaded with oats for export from Baltimore in

MARINE BREAK
AFFECTS LIST
Drop of 9lz Points in Pre-
ferred Causes Weakness
in Wall Street.
BY BRoADAN WALL.

New York. Nov. 15.-Marine pre-
ferred raised a serious disturbance in
the stock market today end hurt fhe
whole list. In the morning it was
strong. with a fractional advance, but
Just before the board OF directors met
there was heavy selling which was
made to appear as coming from in
siders. Perhaps il did not. but the
street believed that it did. The ma:
ket weakened. and while the directors
were in session the stock broke s1z
poiRts. There was recovery OF about
4 points after that. but Marine stocks
lost in that one hour all the good
will they had gained through receEt
months of decent behavior.
Speculative Issues Irregular.
Naturally this incident was felt in
other quarters Of the market Stocks
that had a somewhat speculative fol-
lowing became irregular. Many losses
were recorded throughout the list.
just before the close, however. Z. s.
Steel, which had been acting well all
day became stronger and the close
was steady in all departments. even
in Marine.
Another exciting incident of the day
/ was a rise in cotton options to the
extreme of 800 points permitted by
the exchange. In two previous ses-
sions the market had broken about
400 points. 50 that recovery was due
as a matter Of technical trading. The
close was from 80 to $50 points net
higher. But the whole world is hungry
for cotton, and with ships likely to
be released from the carrying of mu-
nitions. ii will be logical to expect
great exports Of il. Unless the gov,
ernment interferes and prevents spec
.ulative buying. it will not be neces-
sary to issue further prohibition
against short selling. for there will
be few plungers daring to go short.
= The probabilities are that the gov
ernment will have to take charge oi
the distribution OF cotton to prevent
sky rocketing Of the price.
Some traders imagine that q white
haired plunger was hammering Ma
rine today. but the selling was prob
ably due TO a belief that the United
States government will operate mos
OF the new American ships for the
next few years.
Good Buying from Big Houses.
Much good buying from important
houses followed the announcement
from Washing on that there would
be a radical duction in public ex-
penditures for the next twelve
months. This follows as a matter
Of course from the collapse Of Ger
many.
A good many pepole sold stocks to-
day because tFey believed that Hoi-
