Shannon & Co.'S Letter

New York, August 27-The labor situa
ton in the steel industry is the matter
of chief Importance today. Letters have
been exhausted between Judge Gary
and the committee in which the corpora
ton makes plain its long maintained at
ttude that it stands for an open shop
and is not prepared to negotiate as to
labor conditions in its plants with the
unions.
Predicting public sentiment is of
course, an uncertain occupation, but it
would seem as If the people at large in
the country were growing very tired of
the effort by first one special class or
workers and then another to enforce
their own particular demands at the
expense of the community, no matter
how great the disturbance and suffer
ing to others may be. Perhaps if this
question must inevitably be tried out
now is as good time any.
The market, in the face of this condi-
ton, has ben somewhat heavI, and not
very active or interesting. 1t is waiting
for developments The stock market
will be closed on Saturday. Sales TO, 400

Kuang-Ti May in the Review.


With the fear of impending domina-
ton Of Shangtung by Japan. the more
thoughtful Chinese have realized, per-
kaps for the first time, that what is
even more important that territories
and political and economic rights is the
great ancient culture or their country.
Shantung, being the birthplace of Con-
fucius and the Jerusalem of China,
should not be debased by alien rule. es-
pecially by the rule of a country which
has apparently outraged Confucianism,
the creed of peace and righteousness.
The thought of Shantung necessarily
leads to the consideration of the whole
country not merely as a vast land of
natural resources ana mineral wealth
upon which the teemng millions de-
pend for subsistence but as a cher
ished historic home rich in memories
and achievements of the great sages
and poets and artists. The superior
man in China may be pardoned for be-
ing somewhat apathetic concerning the
railroad and mining concessions which
his government is obliged to grant to
foreigners, but he should be ready to
die for the defense of the ideals and
institutions which he has inherited
from the great men of his race

pected, which, together with decidedly
better foreign exchange market, brought
local covering. On the advance, a prom
