Securities and Money
Advance i'm Stock
Prices Is Checked
BY Labor Outlook

Uncertainty over the outcome Of the
restlessness of organized labor again
became the dominant market influence
yesterday and prices turned irregular.
Although some stocks continued to
leap upward, the tendency in most in
stances was toward lower price levels.
Because the situation is unclarified
to most observers, the outside public
seemed disinclined to accumulate
stocks to hold over the Labor Day re-
cesses. The governors of the Stock
Exchange voted to close Saturday, max
ing suspension of trading from Fri
day night until the following Tuesday
morning. The sharp rise of prices
Tuesday, coming after four days of i'm
proving values, moreover, led to profit
taking yesterday, which help to check
further gains.
Although the announcement that the
railway shopmen are unwilling to ac-
cept President Wilson's decision on the
wage controversy was undoubtedly
depressing factor, it by no means offset
the gains in security prices which the
Executives messages caused.
The overhanging threats of cleav-
age between workers and employers in
the steel industry contributed greatly
to the lack Of certainty as to what the
next few days would bring forth. The
refusal of Judge Gary to receive repre-
sentatives of the organized men led
market operators to assume that he
would give no more encouragement to
them after he received q written COM
munication. Before the last hour of
trading the Steel Corporation gave out
copies OF the letter from the unionists
seeking a conference and also of the
Judges reply, in which he denied that
the delegates represented the senti-
ment of majority of the employees in
the Steel Corporation and it's sub
salaries. Although Wall Street seemed
to approve the chairman's decision not
to meet the representatives of labor.
operators in the market could not in
terpret the possibility of a test of
strength between the country's largest
industrial enterprise and the American
Federation of Labor as favorable to
security values. Steel common closed
at 1O015. showing net loss of "a of
point.
The equipment stocks were stronp
during most of the session, but toward
the close Baldwin Locomo motive reacted
and lost two points. Reports that Bel
GUM was in the market for locomotives
and coaches affected the stocks, and,
aided by gossip that the directors
would increase the dividend from to
II per cent, American Car and Foundry
showed a net gain of 2l5 points.
transactions yesterday were slightly
in excess of 100000 shares, and 255 diff
ferent kinds of securities were traded
IN, compared with 254 the previous dav.

Montana Power Dividend Cut

Hurried efforts were made to unload

ferings OF approximately 5000 shares
the decline continued until the low price
of SO was reached at the close. At TINS
level the stock showed net loss Of 9
points. A statement issued by the
company was that the directors deemed
it wise to curtail dividend payments ct
this time because of decreased earnings
arising out of generally unsatisfactory
business conditions in the last SIX
months throughout the territory served
by the company

Encouragement

To those who are greatly depressed
by the existing industrial unrest and
the massed attack on the prevailing
level of prices the National Bank of
Commerce offers words Of encourage
ment. There would n2t seem to be
grounds for undue apprehension" ac-
cording to d statement expressing the
banks views. The business activity
Of the country is based on fundamen-
tally sound and essential production
With due consideration given TO pro
ducing costs, the price-level agitation
does not threaten general business ac-
tivity, and losses resulting therefroin
should fall mainly on speculative profit
eers. Furthermore, as the Federal Re-
serve Board has pointed out, the ex-
isting level of prices has not resulted
from an undue imitation Of currency
