AMERICAN ELECTRIC
GOODS IN DEMAND
South American Market Is
Steadily Increasing.

A most promising future for American
electrical goods exists In Argentina, Bra
zil and Uruguay, according to a report
Just made to the Bureau of Foreign and
Domestic Commerce, Department Of
Commerce, by Trade Commissioner
IL widespread In all three countries.
In Argentina and Uruguay the high
cost Of imported fuel and the lack Of
water power limit the use of electricity
to some extent, but in Brazil the i'm
mense amount of water power available
makes the electrical field a peculiarly
attractive one to manufacturers Of cleo
trical equipment. AS this water power
is found for the most part in the coastal
section Of the country. II will be avail
able for Industrial enterprises and for
general lighting. heating and power pur-
poses in the numerous cities If this sec
ton, which includes the greater part OF
the population OF the country.
American materials were not a very
important factor in Argentina before the
war but have become decidedly 30 since
hostilities began. the report says. The
problem there is to maintain this ad-
vantage when the old competition re-
turns. In Brazil, American electrical
supplies have always been favored above
all others. owing principally to the fact
the power plants in the large cities use
American materials almost exclusively
Germany's share in the trade, however
was increasing steadily up to the time
the war started, and since that time
Japanese materials have appeared in the
market, although not in large quaint
ties.

OFFICE CLERKS COAL
AND LOAD ADRIATIC
Grew Refuses to Touch Mail
Put Aboard by Volunteer
Longshoremen.
STRONG GUARD AT PIER
Duke Of Sutherland and Wife
Among Those Who
Sail.

Thanks to the efforts Of volunteer
longshoremen, clerks from the company's
office. the White star liner Adriatic was
able to sail yesterday for Cherbourg and
Southampton with more than 1000 pas
sengers and 1909 sacks of mail. The
clerks, who numbered only 1875, placed
sufficient coal aboard the ship to take
her to Halifax, loaded the mail. the pas
sengers' baggage and a considerable
quantity Of provisions.
The British crew OF the Adriatic re-
fused to touch the mail, although II Is
handled under a Government contract,
and also refused to serve the volunteer
workers with food aboard the steam
ship. Frederick Spencer, victualling SUI
perintendent Of the White Star Line. or
ganized a subdivision of cooks and wait
ers from among his amateur longshore-
men and served lunch for all Of them
aboard the Belgic, lying on the other
side Of the pier.
Hard Task for Volunteers.
The clerks worked all Friday and
well into the night and were on the
Job again yesterday morning. They
finished putting aboard the last baggage
about the time the ship was scheduled
yesterday afternoon because Captain
Ransome did not wish to take any
chances in backing his ship into the
river and decided to wait for the slack
tide. The 1850 steerage passengers on
board were almost all Europeans return
ing home, and they had a great guam
tity OF luggage, making the task Of the
volunteer stevedores harder than II
would otherwise have been.
The greatest precautions were taken
at the pier to exclude everybody but
passengers. Friends Of cabin passen-
gers who are accustomed to have the run

fore sailing time, found that they must

NasfNiI, Tenn, Dec. Ex-Governor Roberts stated today that he would make lone more effort to settle the coal strike in Tennessee on an ami cable basis at conference of op- orators and miners to be held III Knoxville tomorrow.
 "If that fails" the governor de- clared, Il am going into the courts.
 Each side, as l view the matter, is a little stubborn and at this meet ing l propose to test the matter as to whether there is enough patriot ism left to keep the mines going,' y Governor Roberts stated. If I have the power. 1 do not intend to permit things to continue as they are at present. It seems to me the gov ernment officials have made mess of the whole situation. The idea that our public utilities must be de- nied coal to operate is preposterous." :"

Berlin City Council
 Is Aiding Strikers

Berlin, Dec. 5.--Though Germans complain bitterly of the never end ing strikes and unwillingness to work, the Berlin city government is aiding striking metal workers in the Berlin suburbs who refuse to resume work although suffering from lack Of money and food.
 The majorities have forced through the common council a provision whereby the community will advance 50,000 marks to buy food for the peoples kitchens.
 The vote is novelty in municipal history and the bourgeois are pro- testing that they will attempt to re- peal the ruling. They maintain that the huge sums paid to the workless are sometimes more than they could earn at their trade so they prefer to remain idle.

Missouri Tobacco Factories Break
 Records in 1918

St. Louis, Mo-, Dec. 6.-The tobacco factories of Missouri in 1918 broke all previous records for the state by producing plug, twist. chewing and several varieties of smoking tobacco and cigarettes with final wholesale and tax paid value of S41,973,031 &C., cording to a bulletin issued last week by the bureau of labor statistics. The output of cigars in Missouri is not in- cluded in the total.
 turned out by St. Louis plants in 1918 alone was valued at S41 ,673, ,376, for years, has held first rank among all the world for quantity, quality and value of chewing tobacco manufac- tured and sold annually, says the statement.
 The effect of the world war on the tobacco manufacturing industry of Missouri is revealed in the bulletin. The output in 1914 of chewing to- bacco was valued at 31,063,327 and in 1917 was worth $37, ,5S6,625, com pared with the banner year of 1918.
 The selective service act was re- sponsible, according to the bulletin, for the fact that the close of 1918 found more women employed in the industry than men. Salaried employees and wage earners employed in the industry, according to the resume, totalled 4,200, including 2,139 wo- men and girls and 2,121 men and boys.
