New York. Feb. 14.-Stocks trav-
arsed familiar ground in the course
Of today's dull session, pools con-
tinuing their bullish operations among
such speculative favorites as oils,
equipments and tobaccos. Shippings
and motors came in for occasional at
,antion, mainly at higher quotations,
with feathers, distilling and paper
s1ares, but rails were altogether neg
lected, thus maintaining a firm under
tone.
United States Steel made its best
quotation of the week on fractional
advance to 81 %, but closed at loss
# half q point. For the first time in
many weeks steel surrendered leader
ship as the most active issue to Mexi-
can Petroleum, the latter, however,
losing half its four points advance.
Royal Dutch was the spectacular fea-
ture at an extreme gain of eight
points.
Baldwin Locomotive Bethlehem
and Crucible Steels, American Car
and Steel Foundry recorded tempo
rary gains of one to two and a half
points, with General Motors, Ameri-
can Smelling, Hide and Leather pre-
ferred and Marine preferred, these
for the most part suffering material
reductions later.

STORM DAMAGE
Be inc REPAIRED;
TRACKS CLEARED


Denver, Colo, Feb. 14.-Denver to-
night was still partially isolated from
the outside world because of the biz
Yard of Wednesday night and Thurs
day in Kansas and Nebraska. No trains
have come through from the east for
more than tWenty-four hours, but
some of the railroads announced that
tracks were being cleared and trains
due here Thursday night might be
brought to Denver some time tomor-
row. There was slight improvement
in wire conditions, but telegraph and
telephone lnemen still were unable
to reach the storm center because Of
the cessation of train service.
The Union Pacific has two trains
stalled in the snow near Russell, Kan
sas, and its Omaha line also is block
AIDED. A Burlington train, due here
Thursday is at Republican City, Kan
sas The Santa Fe has cleared its
line, but trains are from three to
eight and One-half hours late be-
cause of difficulty with drifting snow
at Newton, Kansas. The Union Pa
cific expected to have its Omaha line
cleared during the night and it was
believed that trains from the east
would reach Denver tmorrow. The
Rock Island also is several hours be-
hind schedules.
OF the wire services, the Western
Union Telegraph company appears to
be gradually resuming normal condi-
tions. Tonight it was said that COM
pany had opened eight wires to Chi
cago, four to Kansas City, four to
Omaha and three to ST. Louis. The
damage was not as great as antici-
pated, the principal difficulty now be-
ing that approximately half a mile of
poles were down in Kansas and these
may be repaired before morning.
The Postal Telegraph company had
only one direct wire to the east this
through Platte City. Neb., where op-
orators had been sent from this city
and Omaha. Postal officials were

Tacoma, Wash, Feb. 14--Demobil-

division at Camp Lewis. resumed to-
day, have been held up for week
because of the possibility that the
men would be required during the
general strike.
In the three artillery regiments of
the division 500 men not yet dis
charged We're started through the
mastering office today, AS well as 435
from the ammunition trains. In the
event of further necessity for troops
to be used in labor troubles in the
northwest, these troops would be the
last called on, it was said, and the
general strike now being over, it was
decided to release men from these

pessimistic regarding prospects for re-
turning to normal conditions, their
repair men being unable to reach the
affected districts.
Conditions of the Mountain States
Telegraph and Telephone company's
wires were little better tonight than
yesterday. Prospects were good, it
was said for restoring service with
omaha tonight. No other point in
the storm area is available to their
wires.
Cessation 0 fthe blizzard is reported
and wire conditions can he repaired
as soon as train service is resumed,
according to wire chiefs of the three
companies.
Early tonight the Associated Press
wire connection was restored by way
of Dallas, Texas. All yesterday and
today the Associated Press dispatches
for papers in the mountain states

Counting it only in dollars and cents,
how much did that last cold cost you
A man may not always stop work
when he has a cold, but perhaps it
would be better If he did. 1t takes
about ten days to get completely rid
of cold under the usual treatment.
That time can be much shortened by
taking Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
and proper care of yourself, in fact,
a bottle of this remedy in the house
is mighty good investment during
the winter and spring months.

SHALL AMERICA CONTINUE
TO PAY HEAVY WAR TAXES?

Reprinted from Manufacturers Rec
ord, Baltimore March 6, 1879
In the enormous income taxation
which the country now faces, burden
ing industry Of all kinds to the ex-
treme, destroying the energy and the
activity Of the people by reason OF
some of the drastic provisions upon
the business Of corporations and
hating their expansion, we are now
brought face to face with the .ques-
ton as to whether America and our
Allies, the innocent victims Of Ger
many's crimes, shall for the next half
a century have to carry these bur-
dens or whether they shall be placed
on the criminal nation that brought
these suffemngs upon the world.
President Wilson was active while
in Europe in seeking to bring about
League of Nations. Indeed, ne
was so active in that line that he had
no time to visit the battlefields of
Belgium, and but very limited area
of France. He did not see the havoc
wrought by Germany; he did not
come, except on one brief trip, at all
in touch with the vileness and the
frightfulness of Germany's- criminal
ity nor have we yet heard from
Pesident Wilson any word to indicate
that he will concentrate his efforts
upon making Germany bear the fl
nancial burden which now rests upon
the people of America and eur..allies.
Shall wego on hampered as we
The Abbeville press and banner. [volume] (Abbeville, S.C.) 1869-1924, 1919-03-21

is not heard in this way, we may rest
assured that the German propaganda
will encourage the discussion of
League of Nations as though that
were the supreme question before
the world, will parley with the
peace conference and delay it's de-
cisions, knowing that every day it
can thus win will increase it's power
to disrupt the conference and to
bring disorder and chaos where peace
should reign.
The task of the men gathered in
Paris should be to force upon Ger
many terms of punishment and ade-
quate indemnities, and having finish
ed that task and made certain that
the indemnities are being paid, then
60 home: Every day lost in any fl
nal decision on these points is day
gained for Germany. And the task
for American business men and all
others is to unite in a determined ef-
fort to demand full penalty of Ger
many, and do it now, if we are ever
to escape the burden of taxation
which we are now bearing.
The Abbeville press and banner. [volume] (Abbeville, S.C.) 1869-1924, 1919-03-21

what is regarded the "under-dog in
any fight"
Public ownership and operation,
eliminating the company, would re-
duce the parties to two, and the pub
lie would know precisely what the
increase of wages meant to itself.
Heretofore, the public utilities COM
,pany has, without doubt, been at dis
advantage in labor disputes, the pub
lie. having in most cases been labor's
ally. Does organized labor wish the
public to be substituted for the COM
pany as the party with which it will
in future negotiate?
Meanwhile, signs are not wanting
that a public "class consciousness" is
rapidly forming and crystalizing. If
things go on as they seem to be 60
ing at this time in the United States,
an unavoidable development will be
the organization, for self-preserva-
ton of that mighty host who may be
described as "the average man" or
"the ultimate consumer"
. One of the conceivable: results of
the extension of government owner
ship and operation of some of the in
dustries would be disciplined and con-
scious array of the overwhelming
majority of the people against the
minority composed of small, If f'co-
hesive and thoroughly organized
groups. These groups now enjoy i'm
mense advantages because they are
organized and the! majority is unor-
eanized. If the majority should be
driven to organize, the intermediate
bosses disappearing, what manner of
boss would it be? That is the ques-
ton for organized labor to ponder
The State.
