Say Counter Revolution Is Grow
ing; Urge Denikine's Defeat.

LONDON. September 2 (by the AS
sociated Press).-The following ap-
peal. addressed to it's followers, has
been issued by the Russian soviet
government at Moscow:
The red armies have abandoned
Kharkov, Bielostrof. Ekaterinodar.
Tsaritsyn and Kiev, the counter revo-
luton in the region of the Don is
extending and we have Withdrawn
from the region from which soviet
Russia could receive coal and ire
wood.
I'VE did not take notice in time of
Denikine's offensive. He who sleeps
puts himself voluntarily into the
hands of his enemies.
"Workmen and peasants: Conquer
the coal and the factories which will
give US the indispensable. Defeat
Denikine and again the factory Chin
neys will smoke and the locomotives
and trains of wheat will circulate"

Minimum Wage Discussed.

Resolutions were unanimously adopt
ed opposing the movement of the
organized retail merchants of Wash
/ ington. who have protested against
the findings of the Minimum Wage
Board, which fixed the minimum wage
camille industry of the city at the
same rate as that fixed for women of
eighteen years and over-$1S.5O a week.
Among the objections presented by
the Central Labor Union are these:
.'lf the Minimum Wage Board, after
fixing the minimum rate for women
of eighteen years and over at $3.50
per week, were to permit the employ
ment of minors at less than this rate,
employers could 'evade the law by en-
ploying minors in preference to adult
women. thereby throwing women out
of work and defeating the purpose of
the minimum wage law for women.
''For the board to fix a lower mini
mum wage for minors than for adults
would also tend to defeat the purpose
of the child labor law. which requires
that no boy or girl under sixteen
years shall work in the District of
Columbia without a special permit.
The purpose of all child labor legis-
lation is to prevent the employment
of children and keep them in school.
For the carrying out of this purpose
public are alike responsible in the in
terests of the coming generation"
There will be a meeting of the Min
imum Wage Board Monday next. at
which time the protest Of the mei =
chants will be heard. Central Labor
Union will have representatives there
to demand that the original findings
Of the board in fixing the wages of
minors shall stand.

Weeds From Waste
Land Turned Into Profit
Candelilla Wax Being Produced
in Large Quantities
X i'm Texas
Business Ne1cs Bureau
Special C0rresrondenca


MARATHON, Tex, May 1O.-Manu-
featuring candelilla wax has become
big industry in this region. Although
1t was only few years ago that the
commercial possibilities of the wild
candelilla weed were discovered, the
annual output of the crude wax in this
part of the upper Rio Grande border
region has value of approximately
$300,000. Several plants for extracting
the wax. from the weeds are now in
operation and others are to be erected
as soon as the necessary machinery
and equipment can be obtained.
Just now the manufacturers of this
wax are facing strong competition
from Mexico, which threatens to cause
a big reduction of the price of the
product. 1t is stated that the candle
ma weed grows in profusion over a
large area of the states of chihuahua,
Coahulla and Nuevo Leon and that
several large manufacturing plants are
now turning out crude wax in that
country. AS there is no duty on the
product the output of the Mexican
factories is shipped to the United
states in direct competition with that
OF the domestic manufacturers. An eff
tort will be made to have Congress
place prohibitive duty on candelilla
wax as means of encouraging the in
fant industry.
Tho candelilla weed grows to
height of thres to FIVE feet. It re-
produces itself annually when cut of
at the roots, and the yield in some
localities is as much as two tons to
the acre. 1t brings big returns to
some land owners and lessees, whereas
1T was considered worthless species
OF vegetation few years ago. The
land upon which it grows best has
practically no value, even for grazing
purposes.
Candelilla wax, when It has passed
through the refining process, is said to
be the equal of the famous canuba gax
OF South America in quality. 1t is in
demand for variety of purposes, such
as manufacture of phonograph records.

Cotton

There was slight setback in the
cotton market yesterday, closing prices
being from 13 to 81 points net lower.
The session was quiet and rather dull.
October ranging from 24.9O to 1886.
Factors Of immediate influence were
the prospect of clearing weather over
the cotton belt and the expectation of
more liberal spot offerings.
1t is said the South continues to take
advantage of the demand for low-grade
cottons and is still unloading a part
of its surplus. There is good buying
by the mills, and both wholesalers and
retailers in dry goods lines report ex-
cellent business. Some market observ-
ers are of the opinion that higher
prices should not be expected while the
crop outlook is so favorable. The crop
is said to be off to good start which
will soon be reflected in the June con-
dition report. Acreage reduction bids
fair to be much less than had been pre-
dleted, and the labor shortage is less
acute than it was last year. Reduction
Of the present supply is proceeding at
slower rate than had been anticipated
and freight room continues scarce. 1t
Is problematical, say these observers,
whether the sanguine ideas of Euro
pean consumption following the conclu-
sion of peace will prove correct, owing
to the difficulties of financing.
1t is reported from Paris, however,
that Senator Harris, of Georgia, who
has been investigating the cotton stu
alton in Europe, has told President
Wilson that Italy, Poland and Jugo-
Slavla require a quantity Of cotton
which, with the normal demand of
other countries, will be greater than
America can supply.
Exports for the season have passed
the 100000 bale mark, being now A.
O59,190, as against 3,33O,166 last year.
Port stocks yesterday were 819,016
bales, as against 1851 ,655 last year.
In the local market spot cotton was
quoted at $3.50, decline Of 20 points.
There were large sales of spot in
Southern markets at prices ranging
from 1925 to 1926.
Prices for future contracts follow:
