STEEL DEMANDS
WORRY STREET
Holland Discusses Possibil.
ity Of Gary Resisting
A. F. of L.

Various rumors about a strike Of ell
the steel workers OF the United States
have been in circulation. All OF them
are somewhat disquietins. Perhaps
the most persistent, Of these reports
is an assertion that about two months
ago Samuel Gompers,, speaking for
the American Federation Of Labor,
said TO Judge E. II. Gary that II is
the purpose OF the federation thor
ouEhly to unionize the artisans en-
ployed by the United States Steel
Corporation. On the other hand, to
Offset this report. the statement is
made that Mr.. Gompers did no more
than communicate with Judge Gary
for the purpose OF securing his con-
sent TO a conference in which the de-
mands Of the steel and iron workers
could be discussed.
II may be that Judge Gary and others
who are directing the steel and iron
industries Of the United States deem
this an appropriate time to resist
demands Of this kind and especially
the attempt to unionIze all the wage
earners and TO press the issue Of
whether the employers shall be able
itl cal ltI 70 manage lnGlT own mo Us
tries or whether they should yield
in all respects TO the employees.
II is certain that the contemplated
strike OF the steel and iron workers
is causing cons ders BILE apprehension
IN the financial district There is
excellent understanding in that dis
trict Of the effect Of q strike OF this
kind upon national prosperity. an er-
feet which will surely delay ell the
endeavors now under way to secure
return to normal conditions and a
reduction in the high cost Of the
necessaries OF life. HOLLAND.

Change in Government S
Attitude Proves Encour-
aging Factor.
By BROADAN WALL.

New York, Aug. 29.-The pronounced
change in the governments attitude
toward labor which came after the
close of the market yesterday. and
the decision OF the representatives
of the shOpmen TO accept the pro-
posal OF President Wilson that they
postpone taking definite action for
ninety days had a most stimulating
influence on the prices of securities
today.
Announcement that the Southern
Pacific has won suits brought by
the government against It in the

ing for the account of shorts was
urgent through the session, especial
ly at the opening, and when the gong
sounded for the end of dealings.
standard issues showed net gains
ranging from 2 to points, with
some specialties showing advances Of
as much as II points.
The bullish demonstration was such
that United State Steel common.

new high territory for the present
movement. Tho oil shares and mo-
tors were strongly supported all day.
notwithstanding substantial profit
taking sales.
Initial gains at the opening OF the
session ranged from . to 3 points.
Best opinion in the street after
the close of the market was that
the upward movement would prob
ably be continued at least in the
early trading on Tuesday. The
strength which prevailed at the
end of the session was most i'm
prtssive.
The rise in Southern Pacific at
traCted much attention.
Shares OF oil companies took a
prominent part in the demonstra-
tion Of optimism. Mexican Petro-
leum was the leader of this group
closing at the top price of the ses-
sion and with a net gain of slightly
more than Is points. Pan Ameri-
can Petroleum was also faYorlte
and advanced nearly 5 points. Sin
clair Oil and transcontinental oil
shared in the upward movement.
Shorts in Crucible Steel received
a licking from which they will
smart for many weeks.

Give me the splendors OF the sum-

Let me arise
The while the dawning sun creeps

To wake the sleeping birds, and in

Let me forget all present sense of

And joy as they do in the newborn
In cleaning meadows and in gardens

With golden gifts in coming grain

Begemmed with dew and nights re-

And grant to me

Who thoughtless OF all vain and fret

Garners the sweets he finds on every

Palisades of Jersey the other morn

on a bench and watched with never
before such a thrill Of admiration
for natures beauties. One could well
repeat with Charles Hanson TOwne:
Gee, amt nature grand"
The black sky was suddenly brushed
in as if by a landscape painter. The
Palisades took on that hazy purple
that Irving so loved and higher up
above the blue OF the sky floated
puffs Of clouds like beaten-egg white.
The sky changed with the minutes
and the white clouds broke into
shapes as ineShRUstible as its artic

I began to get a faint gfimmer OF

At length he addressed me and We
talked for awhile of the beauties
about US. Finally he veered to other
beauties of nature in other parts or
the country-and before I realized 1t
