EXCHANGE AT LOW RECORDS
Demand Sterling Quoted at $s.ee,A
and Marks 2M Cents

New York. Dec. 3.-Euglish OK
change fell to the lowest level in history
today when demand sterling was quoted
at S3.SoI. which is 3h cents below
Yesterdays close. The normal rate
is $4.S7.
Rates on French exchange also dc
yeloped new low records, franc checks
being quoted at 1917 for the American
dollar, or less than half their pre-
war value. Lire checks were quoted Mt
1851 for the dollar, as compared with
normal rate of about five to the dol
lar, while German marks, quoted at
23 and "a cents each before the war,
dropped today to 2.3J cents.
Czecho- Slovak exchange was quoted
at 2.O7 for checks AMI 2.12 for cables
and Austrian kronuen was quoted at
20.
Other quotations were:
Swiss cables 5.42, checks 5.44; guild
er cables 3S3s. checks 3SA pesetas
cables 1890, checks 1880; Stockholm
cables 21 35, checks 2l 20; Copenhagen
cables 20, checks 1885; Belgian cables
$50 and checks 0.52.
The bneak in American exchange to
S.. .SS, while considered serious from
trade viewpoint. is due to the same
conditions previously prevailing--the
huge indebtedness of England to the
United States and the large amount of
cotton still TO come from that country.
No official action has been taken to
meet the situation and in market circles
the opinion is expressed that the rate
will 90 still lower. Today's declines
unsettled continental exchanges, which
moved against this country.

NEW YORK COFFEE MARKET

New York, Dec. 3.-At the end Of
the first hour trading IN coffee was
quiet with values close to initial figures.
Most of the early selling was attributed
to outside sources which have recently
been rather liberal buyers, but the
sharp break in exchange and a renewal
of unsettled conditions in Brazil caused
them to show disposition to let go
their holdings. Traders in this were
buyers at the decline.
There was a sharp break just before
midday on rumors of "A break in Santos
futures, the rumors being soon fol-
lowed by an official cable reporting a
decline Of $50 to 625 reis, which in =
dicated liquidation was still going on
| there.
In the local market, trade interests
and cotton houses sold freely on the
break in Santos.

New Savings Stamps
For $500 and $1,000

Columbus - War Savings Stamps
in denominations of 500 and $1,000
are now available. They are known
as Treasury Savings Certificates.
Heretofore the maximum maturity
value of War Savings Stamps was $5.
The new treasury certificates may
be purchased at postoffices of the
first and second class and at banks
and trust companies. They will be
issued only in registered form and
will bear the name of the owner
They are exempt both as to principal
and interest from all taxation. They
bear interest at the rate of APT per
cent, the same as War Savings
Stamps.
During July a certificate with a
maturity value of $100 in 1924 can
be purchased for $3.50. In August
the same certificate will be worth
20 cents more and one year from now
it will bring 1886. The government
has guaranteed that the certificates
will never decrease in value but will
increase monthly.

Big Land Hogs Fight
Dakota New Tax Law

One reason for the strenuous op-
position of the moneyed interests to
the farmer movement in North Da-
kota will be apparent upon eXamina-
tion of the new tax rule in that state.
The old tax law pretended to tax all
property alike. AS matter of fact,
it fell mostly upon the resident work
ers, while corporations and land
spectators got off lightly. Under
the new law land will be taxed on
a hundred per cent value, with farm
buildings exempted. The farm equip
ment-with $1,000 eXempted-will be
taxed on a fifty per cent basis. This
means less tax for the small work
ing farmer and for the home owner,
and more taxes for the spectators
and absentee landlords. Three Min
nesota land companies owning 1885,
900 acres in Burleigh County will
pay upward of $4,000 more taxes in
North Dakota than last year. The
farmers have an idea that the state
will be better off if that land is di-
vided into farms with houses, equip
ment and people occupying it. May
it not be barely possible that those
much abused farmers may have hit
upon an idea worthy of the attention
of some who have been little hasty
in their criticism?

Win Eight-HOur Day

Toronto, Can. = Organized street
car men have established an eight
hour day as the result of a 12-days'
strike. New wage rates range from
SO to 55 cents an hour, according to
the length of service.
Rock Island, Ill.-A wage advance
of 10 cents an hour has been won by
street car employees in Rock Island
and Moline, ILL.,, and Davenport and
Muscatine, Iowa. The nine-hour day
has been secured and will be worked
in a straight shift wherever possible
and within 10 hours under other con-
ditions. The former workday was 10
hours with no limit to the time when
it should be worked.

BENEFICIAL EFFECTS OF WINE

In the Biological Society of Paris
Professor Alliot made the interesting
discovery and statement that wine
has favorable, that is destructive,
action upon rain bacteria. His ex-
periments have shown that pure white
wine kills, in at most Is minutes, the
bacteria of typhus, and the bacteria
of para-typhus in at most 25 minutes.
In the opinion of the professor the
consumption of white wine is alone
sufficient to eliminate all danger
from typhus.-In this country we will
do it with pop or Whistle.-Ed.

FINE SEVEN STORY BUILDING
BEING ERECTED
Grand Lodge International AssOcia-
tiOn of Machinists Will Soon
Occupy Modern Building
in Washington, ID. c.

Washington = Members of organ
iez labor will no doubt appreciate
knowing what progress is being
made with the new headquarters and
office building of the International
Association of Machinists, especially
those who are members of the Asso-
citation, because for years they have
dreamed of, and earnestly worked
for, the day when the |. A. of M.
would have it's own headquarters.
The tremendous growth in men,
bership of the organization during
the past few years has continually
increased the work of the Grand
Lodge, and makes more room ne
cessary. In fact, the Executive work
has been hampered and delayed as a
result of limited office space. No
more room could be secured in the
American Federation of Labor Build
ing. Consequently, the work of the
Grand Lodge has had to continue un-
this new building will give a more
efficient service between three hun
dred and twenty thousand members,
represented by over thirteen hundred
local lodges and one hundred district
lodges, all of which have considerable
routine, as we'll as special, business
to do with our Grand Lodge.
This building will be on a corner
lot directly opposite the A. F. of l..
Building, which will make it con-
venient for work with the organiza
tions located here. 1t will be a
modern seven-story office building,
up to date in every way. The sixth
and seventh floors will be entirely
occupied by the International Asso-
citation of Machinists. The other
floors will be rented, which will bring
in a good return on the money in
vested
The ground was broken and the
steam shovel started excavating April
3, 1919. The steel girders are now
day by day being swung into place.
In fact, the contractors agree to have
the building ready to occupy by Oc-
tober /.
Now when a campaign of organiZa-
tion is started in a shop where Ma
chinists work, it is not only a privi
lege but tremendous advantage that
all they have to do is to join the mill
tant, progressive International Asso-
citation of Machinists. This does not
mean to imply that the struggle TO
improve the conditions of the work
ing people is finished; far from it.
This struggle must continue as long
as the wage system remains. For
that very reason every organized
machinst should realize what an ad-
vantage and help this new head
quarters and office building will be
to the future of the organization.
Every district and local lodge and
every individual member will have
the opportunity to be part owner.
The realization of this building will
mark another step forward in the de-
termined policy of this powerful
union to stand on their own feet,
ready to meet any and every problem
confronting their organization and
members.
