NEW YORK, Aug. 27.-Such consid- erations as usually govern the course of the stock market were ignored or swept aside today in the increased importance which attached to devel- opments in the labor situation.
 Rejection by the railroad shopmen of President Wilson's offer and the refusal of Chairman Gary of the Unit ed States Steel corporation to dis cuss business" with a committee of organized labor were the outstanding influences of the day.
 Stocks were heavy at the outset, but rallied in the course or the first hour, only to fall back almost immediately with another recovery before noon on renewed buying of equipments and specialties.
 The market became unsettled again in the last hour on Judge Gary's let ter to the union labor delegation, United States Steel and other lead CTS, equipments, then recording low est quotations of the day Reactions from maximum ranged from one to almost four points.
 The one obvious case of causes and effect was furnished by Montana Power, which made an abrupt decline of points on the reduction of the quarterly dividend from IA to A of 1 per cent, due to unsatisfactory bus mess"

THE GRAIN MARKETS.

CHICAGO, Aug. 27.-Grain and pro vision prices were weak today, bear. ish sentiment finding a basis in wide. spread unrest with extensive strikes looking as a not remote possibility and agitation and action against the high cost of living a present reality Corn led the grains in decline, it's downward course being stopped and rallies effected when oversold condi. tions appeared. Broadly speaking, however, the average for the day was lower, with bearish sentiment predom- mating. Corn closed weak, Is cent to 1 cent net lower, with September $1.7S% to $1.79 and December $1.405s to $1.40M. Oats closed easy with a net decline of 1A to s cents and pro visions finished with a decline of 85 cents for pork; 35 cents for lard and 65 cents for ribs. Crop reports were generally favorable and arrivals were moderate with a fair eastern demand.
 Sentiment in the oats market was less bearish than in corn, but the market continued generally lower de- spite persistent commission house buying on the break which occasion ed many rallies. Country offerings were light and receipts notably small for this time of the year.
 Provisions were weaker and decid- edly lower. A sharp decline in live hog prices worked against all prod ucts, although pork felt the full force and declined S5 cents at the close, af- ter having sold at more than S1 below yesterdays final figures.

PORTUGAL'S FUTURE DARK
NEW PRESIDENT STYLED ONE OF
RUSSIAN BOLSHEVlSM'S PRE-
CURSORS-IS CHAMPION OF
FREEMASONRY.

After the hope that Catholic
might ascend the Presidential chair of
Portugal comes the shock of hearing
that Senator D'Almeida has been
elected. This man is one of the pre-
cursors of Russian Bolshevism. He
publishes a review, Anne Nationale,' -
in which he favors strikes, the para
lysis of work, the blowing up of fac
tories to diminish what he calls
capitalist exploitation He pro-
NOTED conspiracies in barracks, the
fabrication of bombs, and was the
first Minister of the Interior in the
new Republic, which was born in the
midst of bombs
How he will look on lawlessness
now that he is head of the State re-
mains to be seen. He is fond of
revolution and is always changing for
the worse The Church has little
to expect from him but persecution.
At fete a few weeks ago in Lisbon
to confer on the grand master of
Portuguese Freemasonry the decora-
tion of the Tower and Sword, Almeida
demanded that Portugal should make
amends to Freemasonry, which was
the guardian of all true liberties.

THE HOLY FATHERS MESSAGE

tions. And yet the world cannot pos
sibly enjoy the blessed fruits of peace
for any length of time unless that
hatred be entirely blotted out and all
the nations be brought together again
in the sweet bonds of Christian broth
erhood
To bring this about the Catholics
in a more particular manner must
lend themselves, since they are al
ready closely united in the mystical
body of Jesus Christ, and should
therefore constantly give others an
example Of Christian charity And in
accomplishing this result, the work Of
the German Catholics in the United
States, who are united by the clos
est ties to both lately warning races,
ought to be particularly successful.
Consequently, the Holy Father, to
whose heart there is nothing dearer
than the real reconciliation of the ma
tions, and who has already addressed
himself on this subject to the Bishops
OF Germany, now appeals to you
in such a noble mission. Moreover,
knowing the dreadful conditions I'M
der which our brethren in Germany
are now living, the Sovereign POntiff
implOres you most fervently to lend
them every assistance, material as
we'll as moral, and in the quickest and
most effective way, especially faclll-
tating the early resumption OF COM
merce and all those benefits that nat
urally follow in it's wake. To this in
the Holy Father feels certain
that not only you will gladly respond,
but all the children of your generous
country without any distinction what
ever, for surely they will be mindful OF
the great services their fellow citizens
Of German birth and descent have
rendered their country during this
war In this way they will become
real benefactors of the human race
and draw down upon their own nation
Almighty Gods choicest blessings.
And as a pledge of this, the Holy f'a-
ther with an outpouring of fatherly
affection bestows on Your Grace, on
all who shall take part in the con-
gross, and on all of your faithful, the
Apostolic Blessing.
All of this l am pleased to commu-
nicate to Your Grace, while with sim
cerest esteem, l beg to remain,
Your Graces devoted servant,
PETER CARDINAL GASPARRI.

CONFERENCE OF HIERARCHY
CHARACTER OF MEETING AND
DISTINCTION OF PRELATES
MAKE GATHERING GREATEST
IN THE cOUNTRY's HISTORY
WEiGHTY PROBLEMS WERE
DISCUSSED.

In the program to be outlined, the
problems to be discussed and the per-
sonnel which makes up the gathering,
the conference of the American Cath
olic Hierarchy being held at the Cath
olic University of America this week,
is the most notable of it's kind in the
history Of the country.
Approximately ninety Bishops and
Archbishops signified their intention
to attend the conference. In addition.
Cardinal Gibbons, of Baltimore, and
Cardinal O'Connell, of Boston and
Cardinal Mercier, now making tour
OF the United States, were present
for the opening ceremonies. The
heroic PrimaEe of Belgium delivered
an address, probably the most impor-
tant message he will communicate to
the Catholics of the country during
his visit.
The conference convened on We'd
nesday, September "a, and remained
in session for the rest of the week,
Cardinal Mercier came to WASHINGTON
from Annapolis by motor with His
Eminence, Cardinal Gibbons, on Mon
day. to attend the ceremony of the
dedication of the new seminary of
the Sulpicians at the University, on
Tuesday, September 23.
Most important Convention.
The character of the meeting and
the number and distinction of the
prelates in attendance attest the i'm
portance of the subjects considered.
Of these little has been said, but the
suggested program, formulated by
Cardinal Gibbons some time ago and
since amplified at the meeting of the
committee of Bishops at Notre Dame,
Indiana, gives an indication of the
trend of the discussion at least. If
carried to a conclusion, it will mark
the evolution of a cohesive policy. the
uniflcation of diversified efforts and
the establishment of centralized or
ganization b. which these may be
directed
