records this year, the demand for De-
troleum products is attaining a scale
beyond all precedent. Consequently,
oil prices are likely to be we'll main
tanned. The introduction of tractors
on the farms. the increased use of
trucks and the development of the fuel
oil industry promise great prosperity
for producers of petroleum.
Prices for lead and zinc until re-
Gently have been relatively low, par
ticularly zinc. With the revival of
the building industry the demand for
these metals is expected to pick up
and prices are likely to work substan-
TALLY higher.
Owing to the enormous amount Of
building, particularly in small towns
and cities throughout the United
States, the lumber outlook points dis
timely toward higher prices. Labor
| scarcity in the lumber camps also is
expected to play part in creating a
relatively tight situation for lumber.
Bond Situation.
| There has been an active market for
high grade investment bonds, with
prices as rule moving through very
narrow limits. No forward movement
is expected in the general bond mar
ket until money rates decline and
there is less competition from new
issues bearing high yields.
| There has been decline in the price
of railroad bonds, due, in great
measure, to the uncertainty over the
plans of congress in returning roads
to private operation. Investors are
impressed by the poor earning reports
coming out from time time, showing
in manw cases extraordinary de-
creases in earning power under gov
eminent operation, and fears have
arisen that unless provision for con-
structive plans are made for safe
guarding the finances of these COM
panies during the period of gh1prices
for commodities and labor serious
condition would follow. At present
industrial bond average prices are con.
siderably above those of railroads and
public utilities and they have main.
tanned steady upward trend since
the armistice was signed. This
changed position for industrials re.
fleets the remarkable improvement ir
the financial structure of this class Of
corporations during the past -four
years.

TRICK AGAINST, LABOR
PUT OVER BY BRITISH
American Plea That Labor Is Nc
Longer a Commodity Z; Made
to Mean Opposite

70 mean OpPoSAte.
Atlantic City, June 30.-What is re-
garded as clever trick put over on
American labor at the peace confer
ence with the connivance of President
Wilson has been exposed at the con-
vention of the American Federation
of Labor here, and as result there
is additional opposition on the part
of the workers to the league of ma
tons covenant.
The facts are these: Senator Cum
minis of Iowa, Republican, single
handed wrote into the Clayton law a
declaration that labor shall not be
further regarded as commodity or
article of commerce. With this as
his main plank in his platform Presi-
dent Gompers and delegation of the
federation went to Europe to urge
upon the president and the allied
powers that they incorporate the very
language of Cummins in new world
declaration in favor of the rights of
labor everywhere. They were given
to understand that this would be done.
Mingled indignation and resentment
were expressed by them when they
discovered that the full text of the
treaty just made public stated as the
principle worked out for. American
labor by the Iowa senator declared
that Labor is not merely a commodity
or article of commerce" This they
declare is a direct statement which
means the opposite of what they in
tended. Their resentment was like
wise voiced by many other delegates
on the floor Of the convention and
the feeling is general that American
labor has been buncoed. 1t was
strongly urged that to declare that
labor is not merely a commodity or
article of commerce is a concession
that it is a commodity and article Of
commerce; that this 10 the conception
which has long been held by employ
ers and the courts, and that to change
it 10 to change the entire construc'
ton of the law in the future 80 ~
to work out new era in the solution
of the labor problem. 1t was statet
that the president had given no warn
ing of the different language which
= would have a Numerically opposit,
!. meaning, and that he had tacitly II no
actually consented to it.
Andrew Feruseth, president Of thu
International Seamen's Union, no
only expressed this view, but declares
that the league of nations as at pres
ent constituted would bring Aberieai

heavily from the original estimates by
the committee, and then the house
further reduced it nearly $l00, 0O0, 900,
making cut of about $500,000 900 on
the army bill from that of last ses-
sion. The navy is making cut of at

was cut $450, 900, 900 on the belief that
such an amount was all that was
needed. l want to be perfectly fair
about that. We may have to make
another APPROPRIATION for the railway
because it is possible
that the $7s0,0OO0OO will not be suffi-

Treasury Department Sends Out
Word About Subscriptions.

The treasury department has an
nounced that all subscriptions 10 the
Victory Loan for ten thousand dol

and that subscriptions for larger
amounts will be prorated among the

Carter II. Glass, secretary of the
treasury, has the authority under the
terms of Offering 10 allot in full all
subscriptions not exceeding ten thou
sand dollars, even though the total
loan is greater than four and one-half
billions.
This will do away with the ques-
tion which has already come up in
this county, regarding over subscrip-
tion Of any one precinct. Some have
already reported their quotas sub

feeling that if additional bonds were
sold that they would not be taken

VICTORY LOAN RALLY
WAS HELD HERE
Large Crowd Attended a ROus-
ing Mass Meeting Held
Here Friday.

one of the best Victory Liberty
Loan rallies which has been held in
the county was one held in the Pres
byterian church of Alma Friday af-
ternoon. with some of the best loan
speakers in the state present to make
addresses.
In addition to the large number Of
Alma people, who were present at
the rally. there were number from
all sections of the county. including
almost every one Of the township
chairmen. and the women chairmen.
Corporal Hunter was the first
speaker Of the meeting Following
his introduction by Chairman Robin
, son, Corp. Hunter told Of some of his
work in France and particularly of
one occasion when he was wounded
by the explosion of a shell He said
that he counted l6S wounds from this
shell, pieces Of which had struck
every part Of his body. He also told
Of some Of the horrors Of the Huns
which made the blood boil.
Mrs. Law Hardy. the well known
suffrage worker, was the next speak
er. She told of her experiences in
Germany and Austria previous to the
war. and how America was regarded
in those countries.
4 Mrs. 4. +. Sangster. state women's
worker. gave short address, which
was strong appeal for the support
Of the loan.
Major Bruce of Saginaw, recently
returned from nearly three years of
service in Europe in the French and
American armies told Of his expert
ences and Of Lieutenant McNabb OF
Alma. who was with him for a time
and then went to Serbia as a volun-
teer. and who is probably now pris-
oner Of the Reds in that country.
r. Perry Shorts, vice chairman of
the Saginaw County War Board. gave
stirring appeal for the loan. His
/ principal argument in this respect
of course. was the American lives
saved through the war being brought
/ 70 close year earlier than had
been expected by the piling up of
munitions; and that as result we
were not paying for waste, but for
lives saved. He told of what America
/ had been planning for the spring
drive with a tank every 70 feet of
the front, and the great number of
other war materials which would
have swept the Huns armies before
3 the Allies.

Carried Blazing Oil Stove Out of
House at Great Personal Risk.

Mr.. Mockrdge, living in East Alma.
proved himself somewhat Of a hero
last Thursday, when ne carried a
blazing oil stove out of the residence
Of Mr.. and Mrs. Teed on Grove ave.
which was threatening TO cause the
destruction of the house, and had
caught a little girls hair afire.
Mrs. Teed had left her two children
at home, while she went down town
to see about getting her stove
changed, as it was not working prop
erly. Shortly after she had left the
house. one of the girls, eight-years-
old. ran out of the house and called
20 Mr.. Mockridge, who was working
nearby, and when he arrived at the
house hc found the flames from the
stove reaching nearly to the ceiling
and threatening to catch the house
afire. He promptly picked up the
stove and carried it out.
Returning to the house he found
that another Teed child, about two
years old, was lying on a cot, and
that is hair had caught FIRE lie put
this out. and then discovered that the
child's clothing was saturated with
oil. probably spilled on the child as
he was carrying the stove out. Ex-
cept for the prompt action on the part
of Mr. Mockridge. there is little
question but what there would have
been serious fire, and perhaps a loss
of life.
The Teed family had just moved to
this city from the Teed farm near
Coleman.
