when by very simple and practical
plan of education we can train all the
men we need in any branch of business
to 'carry on without calling for out
side expert help?
If you go to Paterson, n. J.. right
now. you'll find the silk mills not alto
gcthcr happy over the shortage of skill
ed labor. Many skilled Italians have
migrated back to the land of sunshine
and noble hiStOry-and their skill be-
comes at once a competition.
A uniform system of education and
training by those silk manufacturers
would have made them independent of
any group of workers so far as labor
was concerned.
! was talking to a man who is :, rnly
interested in the development of Amcri-
can shipping. Yet he. who has firm
faith in the future of Uncle Sam on the
seas. said. 'We'll not be able to com
pete with England or Germany for years
because we don't know enough about
handling big shipping business. Now if
we hired few of the big managers from
England to get us started right, we
could go ahead very quickly"
But, | protested, "There's no secret
about shipping. Anybody can find out
how England or any other country does
its shipping business. And we've plenty
of people here who can control bust
ness any old size you like to make it.
Take Schwab-"
"All true. or nearly so, but we need
not only the knowledge but the expe-
rience. OF course We'll get both
we've had it before. But when we get
it again we mustn't forget it. We
must see that our shipping companies
educate their people so that the Sc
crcts' or the experiences and the thou
sand or so of little twists and turns
of the business are familiar to them.
Look how business continues for
generation after generation. Work
men pass their skill and experience on
to their sons and so perpetuate the
ability of the workman.
Europe has done this for genera
tiOns. We want to do the same thing
in a bigger and better way.
"Thc need for insuring the skill and
ability of technical labor is evident.
/ Education and training point the
way"
What my friend said is quite true.
Now turn it around and apply it to
yourself and your business. Are you
insuring the continuance of skilled
workers by training the youngsters
who are working there?
If you happen to be a skilled work :
man, are you helping to uphold the
commercial supremacy of your coun-
try by passing on your skill and ex-
| periencc to others?
If you are, you have a good sense
of citizenship. And you are a good
! citizen-aren't you?

BUSINESS NOTES

Declines of from to 10 per cent in
the prices jobbers ask for woolens and
worsteds suitable for the women's wear
this fall and winter are noted. The
sOftening Of the market is said to be
the direct result of the slackening in
buying operations by garment manufac
turers during the last two weeks. Some
jobbers believe that a revival of gar
ment buying on the part of retailers
will send the manufacturers. into the
market after piece goods again and re-
store prices to their former levels.
The surplus property division Of the
Office of the quartermaster general of
the army is offering for sale under sealed
proposals, 1000 pounds of powdered
boric acid and 5000 ounces of chloral
hydrate stored at st. Louis, Mo. Bids
will be opened at 10 a. M, Septem-
Der 20.
Switzerland intends to Americanize
its entire industrial system. Ameri-
can machinery for the making OF
watches, textiles, chocolates and other
Swiss products will be installed there
as rapidly as it can be sent abroad.
More activity is noted in the whole
sale women's outer apparel market than
at any time in the last three weeks,
| according to manufacturers and job
bers, who confidently expect revival
of buying before the week is over that
will rival the July rush.
According to a telegram received at
the Tanners Council of America, col
! lectors of customs have been instructed
by the government of India not to per-
nit the shipment of skins and hides
from India to places outside the British
empire without securing the authority
of the Indian. Government. This ac-.
ton prevents further shipments to the
United States for the present. No rea-
son is given for this sudden and unex-
pected action.
Despite high prices and hot weather,
trade in fur garments, in both the re-
tail and wholesale ends of the industry,
is brisk. Retailers, because of the
large volume of business they have done
on their early showings of fur gar
ments, are forced to call for additional
supplies from the manufacturers. Buy
ers for retail stores, who formerly de-
pended on recorders for filling in their
stocks, are visiting the market in per
son now and placing orders for new
models.
Leather dealers assert that active
buying may be expected within the next
two weeks. The decline in purchases,
they state, is due principally to the
decrease in the production of finished
leather goods brought about by shorter
working hours. Manufacturers Of
leather bags, gloves, suitcases and nov
elites have on hand more leather than
can be converted into finished articles
for some time to come, although this
leather is not sufficient to cover orde-s

Attempts to Start Cars Are Followed by Stoning or Cutting of Trolley
 Wires
ev A,soc,a,.d Prs..

Cleveland, July 6.-Street cnr
 service was tied up here today for
 the second time in six months
 when the motormen and conduct
 OTIS of the Cleveland Street Rail-
 way company went on strike this
 morning to enforce their demands
 for ap increase of 12 cents m
 hour. Several attempts were made
 to start cars-but in most cases
 they were unsuccessful. owing to
 stoniny and wire cutting by strik-
 CTS or sympathixers.
 Trolley wires were short-circuited and burned, switches spiked, cars were stoned and other damage done.
 Several persons were injured by fly ing glass during the disorders. follow ing which six strikers were arrested
 Some of the Is cars which were manned by inspectors and dispatchers made four or five round trips, accord ing to John J. Stanley, president of the company He said the cars were withdrawn because of lack of police protection. adding that he had enough men to man 60 cars. Two women were applicants for conductors jobs.
 Both sides remained firm in theiI demands today Union officials have a 6-cent an hour increase. say ing the men would remain on strike until granted the 12 cents.
 President Stanley announced that he would not grant the men their in- crease unless the city council advanced the stockholders dividend from to percent yearly.

ABYSSINIAN FLAG TO BE UNFURLED IN
 WASHINGTON TODAY
n. A..a.i...a p....

Washington. July 6.-The flag of Abyssinia, one of the worlds oldest governments with history dating back to the days of the Queen Of Sheba, will be unfurled in Washington to- morrow on the arrival of delegation from that nation.
 The Abyssinian representatives, who arrived in New York yesterday. will be the guests of the nation while here.
 The visiting mission consists of three members and came to this country to present President Wilson the congratu- lations of their country on the victory of allied and associated governments.
 The mission also will present to Pre- sident Wilson on his return to Wash ington certain gifts from their govern ment.
 Congratulations have been rendered other governments by the mission which left Djibouti May 13 on an Ital- ian warship.
