THE STATE FEDERATION

when he wrote it. Read it:
THE STATE FEDERATION
The call for the annual conven-
ton of the Washington State Fed
Grafton of Labor brings that body
to the attention of many local
unions for the first time since last
convention. 1t is a perversity of
unions that they set up such a body
as the State Federation and then
go away and forget it from year to
year, .tting it grow and develop as
best it may without direction and
giving it's officials more and more
power and less and less responsible
ity to the actual membership of the
organization.
"The State Federation of Labor
is the body which settles upon the
political program of labor for the
coming year, and were its labors di-
rected in the proper manner, would
also determine upon the industrial
program, knitting together the
scattered units of labor as do some
of the Central Labor Councils.
Because the State Federation
does not sometimes live up to all
that certain individuals think it
should there is more or less of a
tendency TO minimize its import
ance and to decry the sending of
delegates to the Convention. This
is wrong. The State Federation,
Ike our Central Councils and the
local unions themselves, is just
what we make it, and if we fail to
see that our full representation is
on hand to take part in its DELHI
erations, we may expect it TO fall
that far short of the perfection to-
ward which We aim.
"The convention will be held in
June. 1t is to be hoped that the
unions of the State of w, shington
will all send their full delegations,
so that the Federation may speak
with authority. and speak at the
right time and toward the right
end"
In the above editorial the editor
uttered a deliberate falsehood in
the first sentence. There are not
many nor any local unions which
have not had their attention called
to their duty to organized labor by
Federation officials at frequent in
tervals during the year. The Labor
Press of the State likewise is in
freouent communication with State
Federation officials. All labor pa
pers in the State have aided the
Federation Ohenever asked, and
without the asking, with the sole
exception of the Seattle Union Rec
ord.
There are perverse humans and
oerverse unions, but unless the are
asleep they have not forgotten the
State Federation of Labor, nor have
hey been permitted by our eff
lent Federation officials to forget
! Nor has the Union Record for

the face of the days adverse circum-
stances. closing at 112%. a rise OF rs
points. The impression prevailed in
Wall Street that the powerful clique
which had been accommodating SIP for the
last month. was in the market again
yesterday and engaged in hopping up
some OF the accounts of holders who
havo become weary of SP's inactivity OF
the last few days. The conversion privi-

convertible bonds may have had the ef-
feet OF slackenlng trading In SIP during
the last week or so. Many OF the hold
ers of these bonds got them around the
So level and they have had the oppor-
tunity of converting them into SP stock
at 10. thus adding to the floating sup
ply. There Is no evidence that any
great amount OF bonds have been con-
verted into stock.

Victory Note. below Par.

Notes of the Fifth and last Liberty
Loan, offered for trading on the New
York Stock Exchange yesterday. sold
fractionally below par. The sales
amounted to about $4,000 and trans
actions were hardly representative. The
new notes opened at $3.50. sold down to
ss.ss and closed the day at 1896, up four
points from the opening. The tax-ex-
empt 3% per cent. notes. into which the
Az 5 may be converted. are not available
for trading yet and this probably is q
reason for the narrowness OF the market
yesterday. The general opinion prevails
in financial circles that the new notes
are worth more than par in consideration
OF the allotments announced yesterday.
The reason that the volume OF trans
actions was so limited was due to the
fact that only small proportion OF
the notes has been delivered. Under
present rulings all notes must be in hand
50 as to be delivered on the days fol-
lowing the transactions. Another rea-
son was that allotments have not been
announced by the Treasury Department

The Marine Report.

The annual report OF the international
Mercantile Marine Company, which was
approved yesterday at a special meeting
OF the directors, is scheduled for publ
cation after the holiday, but Speculation
as to what the report would contain was
set at rest By the statement of p. A. s.
Franklin to the effect that the figures
would be substantially the same as
those OF the previous year. In 1917 the
net income was equal to 22.72 per cent
on the preferred stock. The statement
regarding earnings, however. does not
remove the mystery around the DISPOSE
ton OF proceeds to be received from the
sale OF ships and property amounting TO
about f27.000.000 10 the British syndi-
cate or the transfer OF these FUNDS from
Great Britain to the United States. The
notice of the special meeting which is 70
be held on June is has been approved
by the board and sent out to stockhold-
ers. IT states that the sale of the British
tonnage and assets of the British sub
salaries will result in leaving approx
mately f27.000.000 in cash after pay
ment OF compensation and expenses and
providing for payment OF outstanding
debentures of the Oceanic Steam Navi-
cation Company Ltd. and for the pay
ment and discharge OF the preferred and
common shares OF Frederick Leyland &
Co. Ltd. which the International Naviga-
ton Company. Ltd. does not own. in the
treasures OF the British companies in
England.

Increase q Brokerage Loans.

The fact that brokerage loans in
creased to $1,000. 100000 point has been
known pretty generally in the financial
district for long time. As a matter OF
fact, the 81, 900, 900 900 point for loans was
reached a little less than two weeks ago,
but since that time a decrease amount
ing to virtually 100000 900 has taken
place. Some of this decrease, at least.
was made plain In the last bank estate
ment. which showed a decline of $780,
100000 in the loan item. That the loans
are not now more than 81. 000, zoo, 900 is
considered very remarkable in banking
circles In view OF the present state OF the
market 1t Is recalled that in 1916, dur
ing the war brides market, there were
six houses In Wall Street the total loans
of which aggregated $500, 900. That
the increase In loans has been small in
comparison with expansion OF accounts
and rise in prices Is explained. In part at
least. by the fact that n tremendous vol
ume Of stocks has been purchased out
right and moved bodily from the Street
to snug recesses OF safety deposit vaults.

No Money Restrictions.

For want OF better excuse to ac-
count for the long past duo reaction in
the market, Wall Street yesterday raked
up the story that the money committee
may put speculative restrictions on the
market. That this story Ia untrue
hardly needs confirmation. The so-called
money committee. II can be stated au-
thoritatively, while still watching the
situation closely. has no intentions OF
taking such action as II did last year. for
the very good reason that there nc
longer exists any necessity for super
vision Of credit conditions. The Gov.
ernments financing has been completed
through the Liberty Loans, the domestic
financing is proceeding without difficulty
and the money market yesterday showed
no sign Of any shortage of funds to
warrant the committee taking any action
to regulate trading.

CORN TRADERS WAIT
FOR SIGNING OF PEACE
Market Is tistless, With Under
tone Heavy-oats Drop
After Gains

Chicago, June 2G.-There was no
snap to the trading in corn today and
no wide swings in prices. Brokers were
inclined to avoid making commitments
until after the signing of peace.
The undertone of the market was
heavy, although right after the start
there was a fash of strength. Liouida-
tion Of July by longs was induced by
statements that more corn in elevators
was out of condition and an announce
ment that ten cars of Argentine corn
had arrived at Buffalo also had a de-
pressing effect.
was stated that this corn was being
offered at $1.S3, without finding buyers.
Some reports had it that the maize
was weevily. Domestic No. g yellow at
Buffalo was quoted around S1.011a.
Commission houses purchased at times,
but offerings were free on all rallies.
Oats sagged with corn. after show
ing firmness early. Crop complaints
and assertions that the weather was too
hot for oats brought buying orders into
the pit Mt first. but the break in corn
caused pressure.
Elevator interests took July and sold
September. Trade was not large.
| The demand for the cash article was
slow.

is printed artistically and is replete
with color photographs showing in
terror and exterior views of cantoments,
hospitals, supply bases and other war
projects.
In the volume are tributes to the
workmen who did the jobs and there
is an honor roll inscribed with the names
of the company representatives, who
heard the "call Of democracy.
Included among the many buildings
put up during the war by the com
pany are:
United States Navy Supply Base,
Brooklyn. n. Y; coast artillery bar
racks. New York harbor; laboratories
