Employees S'Earn'' Bonus
National Cloak and Suit Co.
Distributes Neat Sum

Distribution Of S62,978 to 2,076 en-
ployes was made by the National Cloak
Suit Company yesterday as payment
under their bonus plan for the quarter
ended September 80.
Under this plan each department of
the company has a certain average of
excellence and a bonus is paid for any
Improvement in work beyond that av-
erage. In the last quarter IS per cent
Of all the departments earned 100 per
cent of the bonus allotted them and
all other departments were able to
show improvement in their work and
so earn part OF their bonus. The
eompany's object in putting the bonus
plan on this basis is to make their en-
ployes actually earn the money.
Two months ago 1t was agreed that
half Of any saving made in the use of
supplies, stationery and packing mate
rial IS to be divided among the en-
ployes. Indications are that the saw
Ing in these items will amount to $780,
600 annually, half of which will be dis
trbuted with bonuses.

METALS-Japanese Heavy
Buyers of Steel and Iron

:, Japanese buying is largely respons-
iple Tor the unusual export trade in
iron and steel products reported for
last month. New York exporters state
that japanese dealers are still active
in tho market, purchasing pig iron
structural steel, bars, plates machinery
and tools to the full extent of their
credit. Great activity in the Japanese
shipbuilding industry is responsible
for large sales of plate. A prominent
exporter, stated yesterday that because
of the cheapness Of labor in Japan the
manufacturers over there are able to
buy American plates, transport the
material across the Pacific, build the
ships and sell them for lower prices
than American shipbuilders can offer.
Large quantities of American struct-
ural steel and machinery are going
into the construction Of steel mills in
Japan, which are reported to be de-
veloping rapidly: The Japanese are
believed to cherish the hope not only
Of becoming independent Of the Ameri-
can steel market within a few years,
but Of competing with US for world
trade.

Chinese Silk Improved
Better Quality of Recent Ar.
rivals Pleases Manu-.
facturers

Much satisfaction has been expressed
by number of manufacturers over the
quality of some Chinese reeled silk re-
Gently shipped into the local market,
according to "The Silkworm," the off,
clal publication of the Silk Association
OF America. The silk, described as re-
reeled Cantons of Crack and King Seng
grades, is said to have been improved
oy rereeling operation which has re-
moved many of the fine ends and weak
spots, thus rendering it more adaptable
tor weaving.
Inc improved silk is held I'D as being
an illustration of what can be accom-
plIshed by the American silk industry's
actlve participation in the movement to
develop Chinese sericulture The re-
reeIed Cantons come, it is said, as a
olrect result of American influence on
the chinese silk industry.
At the present time," "The Silk
worm adds, "when shortage Of labor
and the curtailed working week seri
ousiy handicap the American produc-
ton, 1t would seem q sound economical
proposition to encourage the Chinese
10 export their silk in the most i'm
proved form possible"
>, Ihls fact has been recognized bv the
french manufacturers. and their as
soclations have passed resolutions to
l'e erect that members would demand
more OF the rereeled silk from Canton

L LEATHER-Feor OF Higher
Prices Spurs Christmas Buying

Retailers of fancy leather goods in
the shopping district uptown yesterday
stated that articles attracting most at
tention this season are sewing outfits
and boudoir sets finished in leather.
Sales Of these have been large, and it
is expected that with the approach of
the holiday season the demand will be
even more pronounced. The pin
cushion, spool holder, needle rack, sew
ing basket and scrap bag included in
the sewing set are trimmed with col
orcd leather Of an alligator finish The
boudoir sets are sold with leather cases
for each individual piece.
A noticeable increase in sales of
leather goods Of all kinds is attributed
to the fact that many women are doing
their Christmas shopping early. This
season, according to dealers. the fear
of higher prices within the next two
months has prompted many people to
purchase Christmas presents far in ad-
vance Of the time they usually devote
to that annual buying excursion.

COLORS-Britain Imposes
Further Check on Dive In,norts

,Dyestuffs exporters have received
advlses announcing the imposition by
the British government of an import
embargo on all dyestuffs, coal tar
products and Intermediates shinped to
Singapore and the Straits Settlements
from countries outside the British
EWplre. This represents the third
country within the British Empire to
which shipments of dyestuffs and
chemicals has been prohibited during
the past two months. Australia was
nrst closed to countries outside the
empire Three weeks ago, exports of
dyes and chemicals to India were pro-
hlblted. No definite information is
oDtalnable as to the reasons for the
enactment Of these import bans. but
lndlvldual opinion among local deal
ers is to the effect that the move has
been made for the double purpose of
restraining German exporters and en-
abllng the infant British dyestuffs
industry to enjoy monopolistic prfvi-
leges in its growth.
The embargoes, dealers said YES
terday, will affect export business
from the United States as the coun-
tries named are all large buyers Of
cheap bright colors used in dveinp
straw cheap fabric, mats, rugs and
netting.
Business in dyestuffs for domestic
account is showing a daily increase as
more consumers enter the market for
colors.

Special Correspondence
ST. LOUIS. Oct. 2.-Appealing for a
democracy in industry and asserting
tha. the "crying need of the world
lust now is industrial peace among
men" A. Mitchell Palmer, Attorney
General of the United States, address
ing the closing session Of the Amer
lean Bankers Association convention
here to-day, issued a warning to radi-
cal leaders and agitators that there is
no room, as there is no need, in this
country for those who resort to vio
lence. and no change Will be fastened
BY force.
"No officer OF the government Will be
embarrassed or affected, much less
frightened, by any attempts. organized
or unorganized, by lawless elements in
the community, to terrorie and stam-
pede the government into doing some
thing contrary to the spirit of our
free institutions as de signed by the
fathers and sustained by all the gen
erations of men through the life Of
this republic Mr.. Palmer asserted.
Those who cannot or will not live
the life Of Americans under our in
stitu.ions and are unwilling to abide
by the methods which we have eStab
lished for the improvement of these
institutions from time to time should
go back to the countries from which
thev came" he continued
every power of the government will
be used to compel those who remain
here to comport themselves in that
obedience to our laws and with that
respect for our institutions which are
a part of the creed of real Americans.
Every reform which the most radical
may desire to incorporate in our body
polite will receive fair hearing and
full consideration and will become eff
fective only if and when q majority of
the people through the regular methods
provided by the Constitution shall so
decide. No change will be hastened by
force"
Launching into his appeal for an in
dustrial peace. Mr.. Palmer asserted
there must come with it an intelligent,
sincere and sympathetic effort to re-
adjust the relations of all the forces of
industry to run true to the new ideals
to which the worlds eyes have been
opened through the grievous trials of
the worlds greatest war.
Richard S. Halves, senior vice-pres-
dent of the First National Bank OF

The association at it's concluding

which declared that for the extension
of foreign credits "the necessary
financial machinery, in the form of a
large, capably managed and thorough
ly equipped organization with which
the bankers, business men and man
ufacturers of this country would be-
come identified and which might very
properly be initiated and supported
by the members Of the American
Bankers Association, should be pro

SILKS-Carnsent Houses
Supply Market With Linings

Buyers in the silk goods market yes
terday found that they were able to
purchase limited quantities of staple
broad fabrics from local garment man.
ufacturers at prices slightly below those
quoted by jobbers. The cutting-up-
trade, as the garment makers are
termed, have been heavy purchasers of
these goods, especially in Innings and
taffeta. Strikes among their employees
and other causes delaying production
has left them with considerable stocks
on hand, and they took advantage of the
demand from out of town merchants by
offering the goods at attractive prices.
The inability of silk manufacturers
to produce enough goods to meet the
desires Of their customers has led some
of them to send representatives out
among the trade explaining the causes.
Many firms do not send buyers to the
market here, but make their purchases
from travelling statesmen. 1t is felt
that these concerns should be advised
that manufacturers are able to take only
a small number Of orders and thus give
them an opportunity of buying their
merchandise, if possible, from other
sources.
Because the manufacturers are so
handicapped in their production it was
oeiu ei'sNt NhC \oiuliS CCdoOl W III Uc u
highly profitable one for the jobbers.
These merchants have been steadily ac-
quiring stocks, and it is known that al
ready large department stores, which
have always in the past bought from
the manufacturer, are now placing or
ders with the jobbers
The raw silk market yesterday was
increasingly active with sales mounting
steadily in volume. Transactions which
week ago involved 10 and 15~bale
lots, gave way to those Of 20 and 25
bale lots. Sales Of that character gen
orally were for immediate delivery, while
future business mounted to $50 and in
some instances 200 bale lots.
That dealers are looking to con-
tinuation of brisk business was indicated
by their purchases in the Yokohama
market. Cables from that centre told
of record breaking sales made during the
week with an average of 1000 bales
daily going for export, virtually all of
which is destined to reach the New York
market. Wednesdays transactions ag-
gregated 5000 bales.
With the increasing business in Japan
the reelers there again raised their
prices, quoting Shnshai No. 1 at
S1O.021a and Kansai double extra at
$lO.95 pound, an advance Of 20 cents
a pound over last prices cabled from
Yokohama.
