MERCHANDISE EXPORTS
Point Rcnchcd-July and
August Figures Are Very
Interesting.

That the turning point in this ma
tion's foreign trade had finally been
reached, was an assertion made in
not = few quarters when the July
statistic disclosed a Ss4S. 5000 rcduc-
ton IN merchandise exports from
Junc's unparalleled total of s9lS.OO0 900.
and s5l.0CO.OO0 increase in imports
TO new high level at nearly $3i5-
100000. says Dun. Yet tho tide of
overseas commerce sharply reversed its
course during August, bclatcd official
returns for that month showing a
S7f,000.00 rise in exports, and a $685.
100000 decline in imports from the July
figures.
The August exports. at s6i6oOO, 600.
have only twice been surpassed In the
country's history-by the phenomenal
shipments OF June and those Of last
and the August imports. although tho
fnnrth largest on record. fall s33S. 00o.-
900 short Of the exports. Such an
export excess az this for single
month. with an aggregate surplus Of
fully $4,000. 900. 900 for eight months
this year bears strl<inEiy on the re-

 Call Demands of
 Labor UnpatriOtiC

Chicago, Nov. 11s-Organized la Dor and it's demands for shorter working hours and higher pay were represented as unpatriotic, greedy, and un-American, in resolutions passed at the annual meeting of the National Association of Commis- sioners of Agriculture tonight.
 The representatives of the farm CTS of every state warned "that the radical demands of labor are lead ing straight toward a revolution and to government not of the people, but of one class, many of whom are unable to speak our language or un- derstand the spirit of our American institutions"
 Other resolutions adopted de- nounced the profiteer, indorsed the farm loan act, deplored strikes and lockouts and urged the farmers to join the central association for the protection of their interests.
 Optimism marked an address be- fore the commissioners by Secre- tar yof Agriculture Houston.
