PIKE CATCHES
 MESSAGE FROM
 ANDY CARNEGlE
Receiver Says It Was For Standardization Asks
 For Interpreter.

New York. Sept. 4.---"9OS North 16S Street at O, NJ. r O142 N, 6 N 5S May 30. 1919, A low price on now
 Never, in his most ardent advocacy of simplifieI spelling, had Andrew Carnegie in the flesh written Ho cryp- tic a message. But this spirit tip, through the occult powers Of Charles A. Pike. has been transmitted by Pike to United States Senator Overuap,
 When he isn't occulUng Pike is an artist at No. 19 East i4th street, He is 20 years old, His studio was closed last night and he could not be found to divulge the processes by which he had come into possession of the spirit message.
 However he acquired the messaUe, Pike transmitted this letter to Sen ator Ovcrman at the latter's home at Salisbury, N. C.
 "I have just received a message froua Andrew Carnegie,
 'I think it is for you, He gave me the name 'Seua' or 'Avaman. But think 1t Is Overmau, spelt wrong, Here is the m essaEe."
 Pike then inscribed the successi on Uf figures and letters The letter con tanued;
 "If you understand this, kindly let me know at once Other messages of minor importance received"
 Senator Overman is a practical man, iOut he is taking no chances on losing a good tip. He has written to Piko that he does not understau1 the late steelmau's spirit message, but asks him to send the others along. any way. He said if there were further messages for him from Nr, Carnegie, he would like tO sec them.
 The Senator had only a casual ac- quaiDtanCc with MT. Carnegie.

Wednesday, the cause of the demon strations being, it is alleged, the re- ceipt of a telegram from Said Pasha Zagloul, head of the Egyptian na- tionalist deputation in Paris, stating that the foreign relations committee of the United States Senate had de- clared Egypt should be independent. There were quite serious incidents at Cairo, several persons being injured when mounted police dispersed the crowds. The attempt against the life of the Egyptian premier probably was one of the results of the disor- ders fin the two cities.

TRAFFIC SLUMP
 AND INCREASED COSTS MAKELOSS

These are three factors,-a large Increase in wages and material prices, a proporJ1Cgate1y smaller increase in freight and passenger rates, ad in 1919 an a(brupt decline in traffic,- are in th3arnselves an ample prfma facae eNp. ianation of the so-called rail- road defhclc. They do not, of course, prove b3y themselves that tho railroads have. been as efficiently handled as lander private management. But nei- ther have the critics of the Railroad Adminlstratiol who loudly proclaim the failure of government operation, submitted a single substantial proof of fnefncienoy. All they have done has been to repeat parrot-lil1e the tradi- uonal argument against government ownership, and the point to the deficit as a strbstantia, ion of these arguments.
 E2ailroad officials who point with ecCrn at the governnlents railroad de- ftcft should be called upoa to particu- larize their indictment. Do they mean that wages paid by the govern ment are highT If so, do they intend to reduce wages if the railroads are turned back to them? Or can they eliminate the deficit only by greatly increasing the passenger and freight rates? If so, how large an increase will they demand Perhaps an answer to these questions will cause Con- Eress and the President to hesitate before sanetioning the return of the railroads to private operation on Jan Eary l, 1929.

Hundreds of Millions
Dollars to Go Into Houses
Plans Filed During Year Indi-
cate About Sl83, 100000 Will
Be Put Into New Homes

Building Of residences and business
properties planned for greater New
Yorb during 1919 will cost $3.50, 900. 900.
according to estimates made public
yesterday by the f. w. Dodge Com
pany. One-third of the building will be
in residences. Manhattan VIII see
much activity in the construction Of
business properties. says the firm,
while Queens and Brooklyn will hustle
with home building
Estimates for the entire country are
for $4,000 900 outlay in new build
ings This includes engineering and
eonstruction of alI kinds. It is nearly
81 900, 100000 above the 1913 total,
which was the record.
Concerning conditions in New York
the report says:
peace in the New York industrial
field is tentatively assured for 1920 by
the agreement now pending between
the Building Trades Employers Asso-
citation and the Building Trades Coun-
Gil, the latter representing four unions
in New York City and Long Island and
10000 employees. Negotiations have
been in progress for year and the
agreement is considered by far the
most important step ever taken toward
amlcable working arrangements be-
tween employers and employees. Strikes
are made improbable during 1920 by
this agreement and clause is pro-
vided for the continuation of the plan
into 1921
"The purpose of the measure is to
obtain continuity Of employment and
uninterrupted production, and it pro-
vides for a permanent board of arbi-
tratlon. 1t would seem to herald a new
industrial day"

COTTONS-Mills Turn Dozen
Orders for january Delivery

Demand for both finished and un-
finished cotton goods is centered on
fabrics for immediate or nearby de-
livery. Goods in sufficient quantities
to meet this demand are licking and
buyers. including jobbcrs, retailers and
garment manufacturers. can find few
mills willing to accept orders for
goods to be delivered in January. Most
mill agents state that their January
orders are from 100 to $50 per cent
above possible production, and that
many buyers who expect to receive
their goods next month will be disap-
pointed.
Few mills are taking any orders at
all. There is feeling in the marke It
that offerings Of forward production
viii be made shortly after the turn in
the year. The majority of mill agents
state that the new offerings will be
made on the allotment basis, and that
prices, based on present labor costs
and yarn or unfinished goods prices,
will be materially higher than last
quotations.
Mills producing white bleached
goods have fairly large orders on
hand for the first quarter Of next
year, on which prices have not been
named. 1t is expected that these
prices will be fixed within a week

SHKS-MiHs Refuse
Orders at High Prices

Several prospective buyers are seek
ing to place large orders for tie silks
and Innings in the local silk goods mar
ket. In most cases the buyers want to
take the entire output of several looms
tor the coming year and are willing to
pay advances above the present market
price for the privilege. Some largs
mills have turned down these orders
because they are unwilling to tie them
selves to positive commitments in the
way of production for such long Pc
riod ahead.
Within the last week one of the
largest manufacturers Of mems cloth
ing in Chicago has approached several
mill agents here with a proposition to
take the entire output of silk Innings
from large number of looms for the
coming year. A local neckwear manu-
facturer also has been trying to place
similar entire production orders
Smaller buyers have shown wiling
ness to make long-term contracts with
mills from which they never before
bought silks
The great number o. mems clothing
manufacturers who are willing to take
large quantities of silk Innings for the
coming year at present market prices

parel producers expect the present
