other Of the porphyry group, increased

Steel Meeting To-day

After the close of business to-day
the directors Of the United States Steel
Cooperation are scheduled to meet to
take action OH the quarterly dividends.
and to issue the earnings statement
for the three months period ended
September so. The usual quarterly
disbursement Of IA per cent on the
common stock probably will be de-
clared. 1t is believed that earnings of
the corporation for the September
quarter will make better showing
than in the June quarter, when net
amounted to s34,331,3 ,3o1. Unofficial esti-
mates of net for the last quarter range
all the way from $36 O00 600 to Sal co.
900. The strike of steel workers did
not take place until the latter part of
September, so that the effect of the
walkout on earnings during the quar-
ter was comparatively small. Assum-
ing that earnings ran at the rate re-
ported for the month of June, when
the total net was $12,371 ,349, the Sep
tember quarter should easily exceed
$4,000, 900.

Bankers Pessmistic

Representative Wall Street bankers
take rather pessimistic view of the
general outlook for business. Pre-
directions of easier money were made in
certain quarters yesterday based on
the opinion that business throughout
the country is slowing down. Bankers
declared that there are evidences of
growing conservatism in many manu-
featuring lines, the direct result of the
chaotic labor situation and the failure
Of Europe's credit needs. One banker
took the stand that a depression is
needed to bring labor back to its senses
"Unfortunate as it may be- said this
banker, "the only solution for our pres
ent troubles seems to be IN return Of
hard times"

STA and Rumania. How is the pres
ent condition in those countries ex-
planned?
Prince Gortchakoff in the Berlin
Congress described the Russian and
Rumanian Jews as a great scourge
upon any people. Bismurck's answer
was that the policy of restriction had
given them the character which is
now made the basis for complaints
against them.
Mirabeau in the French Assembly
said, in answer to similar charge:
"If you wish the Jews to become bet
ter men humiliating restriction, open
to them every avenue of gaining a
livelihood. Instead OF forbidding
them agriculture, handicrafts, and the
mechanical arts, encourage them to
devote themselves to these occupa-
TONS"
Russia's Plant Against the Jews.
1t is probably true that the Russian
Jews do devote themselves to trad
ing in money, and that the Russian
moujik is subject to abuse in this re-
spect of which the Jews take advant-
age, but it must be borne in mind that
the restrictions upon the Jews as to
livelihood have been and are such as
to drive them into money-lending. In
deed, this cause dates from the mid
die ages, when, as already said, canon
law forbade among Christians the
lending Of money on interest and left
that business open for the Jews, who
perforce became the money lenders of
Europe.
The few avenues of employment for
Jews forced them into the conduct of
inns and the selling of liquor. This, as
have pointed out, was a heritage
from the Polish nobility.
Even if the charge made against the
Russian Jews of fraud and trickery

has foundation, it is not to be wonder
ed at, when mans hand is against
them, when they are desperate in their
efforts to live, when they have a
faculty in trade born of the severest
necessity. The objection to them that
they work together in the interest of
each other may well be true. When
general society is against them all,
they naturally stand together for self
protection and for self-support.
They Make Good Soldiers.
One can hardly expect that they
should feel entirely grateful to gov
eminent which makes life so hard for
them, or that the desire to serve in
the army should be strong in them.
And yet the reports from the World
War indicate that they have made
good soldiers, and the history Of the
Jews in all countries in which they
have settled has been that they have
rallied to the support of the govern
ment under which they lived
Their patriarch, Samuel of Nehar-
dea, sixteen centuries ago laid down
the rule: "The law of the government
is the law; and in the eighteen or
nineteen centuries in which the Jews
have been wandering over the face of
the earth, rebellion and treachery to
the government under which they liv-
ed have not been frequent among
them.
A number of them in Russia under
the old regime doubtless had revolu-
tionary and subversive tendencies, APP
parently confined to Jews of univers-
ity education, who found difficulty in
earning a livelihood under the re-
strictions and who naturally cherish.
ed resentment.
With their active minds, with their
genius for trade, cultivated by CEN
turtles of necessity, they prefer trade

most limited. They had no political
rights and were thus kept excluded
from government employ.
They were denied secondary and
university education except to the ex-
tent of very small per cent of their
number, and they were so hemmed
about with police restrictions as to
subject them to oppressive blackmail.
The result has been that the great
majority of them are ignorant, and

There are in the world over fifteen
million Jews. Of these, six millions
are to be found in the ten provinces of
Russian Poland and the fifteen prov
inces called "the Pale of Settlement"
There are upward of 2,25O,OOO Jews
in Austria and Hungary. There are
615,OOO in Germany. There are 27O,-
900 Jews in Great Britain, 100000 in
France, $4,000 in Italy, half a million
in Asia, 100000 in Rumania, and there
are 100000 in the United States, Of
whom a million or more live in the
city of New York.
The Jews in the United States, down
to 1880, did not exceed a quarter of
a million, but since the oppression,
pogroms, and massacres in Rumania
and in Russia immigration has in
creased.
The Great Jewish Problem of Today.
AS / have said in all parts of Eu-

Rumania, legal discrimination against
the Jews has largely ceased and civil
equality is accorded them. The pres.

Denied Educational Privileges.
They do not follow agricultural pur-
suits because they have long been for
hidden to own land, and by this long
deprivation their tastes have been
formed for city life. They have been
cooped ur in ghettos Of the city and,
perforce, have formed the habits of
an urban population.
Denied the opportunity for educa-
ton, they are ignorant; but no people
in the world manifest so much anxiety
to secure education and improve the
opportunities when offered with such
earnestness and success.

MOUNTAINEERS FIND
 WAY TO BEAT ROADS
(Kansas City Starr

A queer gravity railroad scheme is in use among the miners in the h. man district of Tennessee, not far from the town of South Pittsburgh. The region has, by the way. more djf ferent kinds Of means of transporta- ton than any other in the world. The range IS from the steeply inclined cable road that runs up Lookout mountain, not so many miles away, to the idea that the miners evolved for themselves after watching section bosses use gravity cars for coasting down the mountains.
 The mines nestle in a valley at the foot of a series of hills, and the rail- road track winds it's tortuous way from the mine openings up to the heights that lead to the outside world.
 Many of the miners live.in the set dement's on the hills, and it is a long way to the shaft openings. One day some bright genius discovered that d mule shoe would fit over the top of the Trail that marked the course of the railroad.
 It was but an inventive step to at tach the shoe to a short board and then sip the mountain rail sled over the track, says an exchange Then all MT. Miner had to do was to bal ance himself, pick up his feet and transport miner, pick and dinner bucket down the mountain to work Of course, it was one way traffic. for which the road got no money, but there was no conductor, no strar hanging and no stopping to buy tick
