CROP FORECAST
BO0Ms MARKET
Back Of Buying Is Feeling
That Presidents $ Actions
Presage Early Peace.
by BRoABAN WALL.

New York, April 3.-Omcial forecast
by the United States government of
the greatest crops On record had the
effect today of sending many stocks
in Wall street to new high records.
The public came into the market
more freely than for some time, and
the volume of trading was large. Most
of the high prices were made in the
morning, but there were spurts of
strength up to the very close. The
final tone was strong.
Among those stocks that attracted
most attention were General Motors
Dry Goods. Produts, Rubber.
Agricultural Chemical. Kelly SPRING
field, Burns Brothers. Industrial AIco-
hol. Harvester. Baldwin. Associated
Oil and Ice. In every one there was
the argument Of good earnings or of
dividends TO be given out.
Back of the whole market there Is
the expectation of an early peace. It
is well understood by Europe that
President Wilson Is not blufing. II
is well understood that American sol
diers are not coming home as rapidly
as they went over and the reason is
patent to anybody who will cast an
tNt ~ hHt tTdOe routes
of the world. Americans are tired OF
certain things and they are back of
the President more soiidly than pub
Iishe6 statements indicate Americans
want peace at once-either that OF
the soldiers back home as fast as they
went over.
Financiers Back WILSON.
The financial world is with the
President and the stock market say.
he Is going to win his fight.
American International was quiet
but some of its properties continued
their advances. Industrial Acoho
was one stock 10 remain strong tc
the close. Rubber also made new
high record.
Marine was weak on the theory
that the reduction of marine rates
would ultimately affect the earn
ings. The stock has not been ad-
yancing so much on the future as
the past esfninss. 1t is reported
that some of the American Inter-
national directors think il is too
high and have sold and that other
directors have been taking all the
stock offered.
Investment holdings of : United
States Steel increased 9l.315 shares
between January 1 and March 81.
That number of shares was trans
/ ferred from the names of brokerage
houses to names of individual pur-
chasers. Most of the stock went
West.
The strength of dry goods is a
| natural result of the end of ws,r.
Everybody in the world is changing

is being changed. Leather stocks

Kindicafing ihe Law
From the New York TrIbune.l

the governments demand for instant
protection. He has decided that the
strike Is violation Of the Lever law
and that the officials who ordered II
must annul the order. Even the most
powerful labor organizations are not
to be permitted TO operate in defiance
Of law.
This is a saving judgment. The coal
strike was a wanton attempt TO take
the government and the public by the
throat. 1t sought to veto an act of
Congress. When they issued the strike
order in spite Of the Presidents warn
ing, the leaders OF the coal miners
union stepped bewonl the limits Of the
policy of intolerance toward organized
labor which the government has long
followed. Labor has not been hindered
in any legitimate efforts to improve
conditions and TO increase wages. But
when union demands clash with the
law and the rights Of the public as
established by law, they challenge our
governmental system and all the con-
ceptlons OF the democratic order on
which that system rests.
Judge Anderson has directed the off,
sers OF tile miners union TO renOunce
their conspiracy. If they are wise
they Will comply. The arrogance of
the radical element now largely in con-
troll Of labor organizations is rapidly
destroying public confidence I'm the
unions as agencies Of economic better
ment and progress. A sancr altitude
must be adopted. The public is reach
ing the point at which il is no longer
willing to be exploited by grasping
minoriiies, whether Of labor or Of cap
ital or OF middlemen. Mr.. Lewis and
his associates will set the cause Of
unionism back twenty-five years if they
try to maintain the coal strike in the
teeth Of public opinion, the govern
ment and the courts.

President Wilson said in his recent
address to the people that the coal
strike was both immoral and Illegal.
It was immoral because it involved a
breach Of contract with the coal oper-
alors, made with the sanction Of the
government
Representatives of'the soft coal min
crs' unions signed an agreement in the
spring Of 1918 which was TO continue
in force uD'il the end Of the war, or,
in any event, until the spring Of 1920.
The war is not yet over, in a legal
sense. The United Mine Workers or
ganizaiion. therefore. broke faith in
calling a strike. If this body were in
cOrpOrated. as il ought TO be, 10 would
be liable TO suit for damages in the
civil courts. But so far as the public
and the government arc concerned such
a suit would be a barren remedy. Coal
is needed to run the railroads and keep
The wheels Of industry going. The suf-
fering inflicted by a coal famine could
never be Offset by monetary damages
collected from the coal unions.
II the strike involved merely a moral
obllquity and breach OF contractual
obligations, the government and the
public would be hard put to It to pro-
tect themselves against irreparable
injury. But it also involves the viola
ton Of a.crminal statute. The Lever
law forbids conspiracies to lower pro-
duction Of the necessaries Of life. The
leaders Of the Mine Workers have en-
gagged in such conspiracy. They can
be prosecuted for their actions in the
criminal courts. Yet such prosecu-
tion would not necessarily lift the
present ban on production Therefore,
a remedy in equity has been sought.

Democratic Days
Of Prosperity
BY FRANKLIN MILLER.

The price of buffers going up,
No longer can we eat it:
And bread is twenty cents a loaf
Say, tell me, can you beat II?
Hen eggs are now forbidden fruit
At eighty cents a dozen;
And sugars fifteen cents a pound;
Remember when it wuznt?
We've tasted beefsteak only once
Or twice or so per annum,
And peas and beans and succotash
Cost much too much to can 'em.
So now we grind our corn for bread,
Drink coffee black and sweetless;
And when our sox win mend no more
We wear them wholly feetless.
We wonder IL the good old days,
The ones we still remember,
VIII e'er come back, and live in hope
For the Fourth Of Next November.
