out and they voted not to allow the
company the right to use the public
streets any ore. The plan evidently
was for the city to buy the ears or to
form a new contract.
But one dark night the company
transferred all its cars to the state of
Michigan and thus left the people Of
Toledo without means of conveyance.
Hundreds of men employed on street
cars were also left suddenly without
jobs . Over in Michigan the Ohio peo-
pie could not reach the company with
court action.
The ~plutocratic idea of justice is
legal justice, and since this outra-
geous villiany appears to be entirely
legal, the controlled papers play it up
as a clever trick showing how much
brighter the big business man is than
the common herd. Perhaps they are
right. Must Of us commonly forget
that a public utility corporation is a
soulless person and not only soulless
but generally inspired by the tactics
and motives of the devil.

CZECHO-SLOVAKS WOULD GO
HOME

Czecho-S lovak forces still held in
Siberia have sent a message to the
allied representatives which throws
light on what is going or in that por-
ton of the world. They have now
l,een under arms more than five years
and the powers have refused to send
transports for them-perhaps to keep
them in the service of Kolchak. Their
message reads as follows:
"Unbearable conditions cause us to
ask the allies to consider a mean OF
safe conduct to the motherland, which
return the allies have approved.
"The military authorities Of the
government of Omsk are permitting
criminal actions that will stagger the
entire world. The burning of villages,
the murder Of masses Of peaceful in
habitants and the shooting of hundreds
of persons of democratic convictions,
and also those only suspected Of polit-
ical dislovalty, occur daily. The re-
sponsibility for this before the peo-
pies of the world will fall on u mas
much as we, possessing sufficient
strength, do not prevent this lawless
condition. Thus our passiveness an
pears as a direct consequence of the
principles of neutrality and noninter-
ference in Russian internal affairs,
and we are becoming apparent partici-
pants in these crimes as a result of
our observing absolute neutrality"

PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH NOTES

Both morning and evening services
at the Presbyterian Church last Sum
day drew. fairly large audiences. The
evening service being particularly
we'll attended for the severe weather.
The pastor handled his subjects in a
manner highly pleasing to all who
seek instruction and education. The ev-
ening subject was one Of especial in
terest to the business mar in that it
gave him food for thought relative to
his position in the life Of the young
man.
Next Sunday mornings service at
10:45, should be highly interesting.
Subject-"The Believers Unspeak-
able JOY"
In the evening at 1880, preceded by
the Y. P. S. C. r. meeting at $50, the
pastor will continue his series of SER
mon-lectures on "The Young Mans
Make-Up," taking for his subject,
"The Sense Of the Young Man Doing
Right" Regardless Of whether or not
one has been able to hear the proceed
ing lectures on this important subject,
everyone will find it profitable to lis
ten to Mr.. Simpsons discussion Of this
important side of a young mans life.
Like the unfailing love of Jesus
Christ, this church welcomes you to
worship here, and strangers in the city
or those without a home church will
be extended the right hand of fellow

Western poultry shippers are suf-

same time the retailers were offering

EXPORTERS ARE WARNED.

The National Foreign Trade Council
issued yesterday a letter to American
houses which do an export business call
ing attention to complaints from Gus
toners abroad regarding the misuse of
the term II. o. b. port" which, It is
alleged. is extensive here. The express
sion is taken by usage as meaning that
goods are delivered on board ship with
out expense to the purchaser, according
to the letter. Purchasers in Australia
and elsewhere have complained that
many American firms simply deliver the
merchandise within the limits of the
port of New York. and not on board the
overseas vessel
ANY form Of quotation that Is sus-
ceptible OF double Interpretation lends
itself to the possibility of abuse detri-
mental TO American trade as a whole. "
says the letter. THE National Foreign
Trade Council urges upon American ex-

adopt the unvarying practice of making
their quotations 50 explicit as to pre-
clude the possibility Of misunderstand-
ing"

COTTON PRICES OFF :
NEARLY 100 POINTS
Unsettlement Of Trading Also
Is Feature Of Last Part
of Session.

Unsettled trading and a sharp break
OF nearly 100 points In the late session
featured yesterdays cotton market. In
general its tone was somewhat improved,
but only small business was done during
most of the day. The decline was again
due to hasty unloading on the part OF
many operators, which In the narrow
market prevailing had an inofdinate ef-
feet Near the close the losses were partly
recovered. although final bids were 10
points below the last previous finals.
New developments of Importance were

SO at Charleston and "a at Wilmington.
In the central belt there was a good
cast for to-day indicated fair weather
in most of the belt. The weekly report.
while noting many unfavorable condi-
tions for the last seven days, seemed
more to favor the bears.
THE temperature" 1t says, averaged
near normal, and rain fall was generally
light to moderate in most sections OF
the cotton belt. AS result cotton made
fairly good progress during the week
except In portions on North Carolina,
Florida and the South central belt. which

The feature at Liverpool was yester-
day improved spot business, sales, 5000
bales, being more than for a long time.
The contract market there had an ex-
cellent appearance and closed sharply
higher throughout the list Undoubtedly
the local strength in securities was at
times a factor toward influencing cot
ton values. In foreign exchange early
unsettlement gave way before quiet
and steadier market.

Demand from local shorts was the sus-
tanning power, but as the session pro-
crossed it became less and less OF a
factor.
The final hour saw a sudden sharp
break in prices throughout the list the
downturn was assisted by a bad drop
in New Orleans and was accompanied
by uncovering stop loss orders and heavy
grade of Southern selling. The West
also was a seller. and December options
were carried down to 80 cents, not lar
from the low point reached last month
On the break there was naturally some
spot house buying, with adverse weather
wires helping to cause a rally OF ~ 70
