WORDS OF WISDOM

Real courtesy is not a mere
outside polish, a mask assumed
for a purpose, but is a product,
a manifestation Of the true feel
ings Of the human heart. "
The great thing is not to be
discouraged by seeming reverse
or relapse. The victory is to en-
durance, and there would be no
endurance if we were always
gaining.
Fear to spend what we have,
nobly and on fit subjects, is a
mean kind of thing, but fear to
squander and to waste is whole
some and righteous. Economy
is not miserliness, and there is
a grandeur about moderation
which is wanting in excess.
Poverty must be a crime-at
least, it is punishable by hard
labor.

CHILD LABOR
IS REDUCED
Dezss,s e Moe Than 20 Pc Ceaa
undss New ksw

Child labor has decreased more than
10 per cent since the child labor tax
provision Of the revenue act went Into
effect April Is last. This act levied 8
tax of 10 per cent on the net earnings
Of plants employing children under IA
years or between "a and 16 for more
than eight hours in the production OF
commodities entering into interstate
commerce.
Reports Of internal revenue bureau
agents, it is announced, Indicate that
the greatest decrease has occurred in
the cotton mill industry Of the south
ern states where, it is said more than
35 per cent Of the mills now are oper-
ating on q basis that exempts them
from the tax. Marked reduction In
child labor also was reported, 1t was
said, in the coal mining and canning
industries. Many plants, particularly
cotton mills, have discharged all ch1l'
dfen under 16 years Of age, the report
said, rather than adjust the operation
to an eight-hour day.

A Steel Price wafs

price war between the big steel com
panies. for which the present muddle
on prices offers opportunity should

story filtered out of Washington through
the underground channel the other day
that greatly interested Wall Street.
steel men were comforting with the War
Industries Board, so the story goes.
Charles NJ. Schwab had given the board
his opinion, at length. Another steel
man, who happened to disagree In some
respects with Mr.. Schwab. In following
him, remarked that the board should
not take Mr.. Schwab's opinion on steel
rails too seriously, as Mr.. Schwab was
primarily a munitions maker The re-
mark Is said to have peeved Mr. Schwab
considerably and, knowing him as IL does.
1t would not surprise Wall Street at
all to see him go after this very BUSH
ness and even shade prices to get n con-
tract which would undoubtedly be the
biggest ever given for rails. The price
middle offers unlimited opportunity for
salesmanship and that is popularly be-

Bethlehem n.

The continued strength OF Bethle-
hem Steel, in the face OF the steel out
look. the chaotic conditions of trade and
the sluggishness OF United States Steel
Is puzzling Wall Street Many stories
were raked up yesterday to account for
tho advance, including one that the mu-
nitons plant will be turned into a
tractor mandatory and another that
the plants will specialize in ship plates,
for which a big postwar demand ia an
ticipated. In circles where the informa-
ton on Bethlehem is usually correct
the impression prevails that the strength
now exhibited Is nothing more than
shorts covering. Long before the ar
mistice was signed. the stock was under
selling pressure, while the other. steels
and market leaders were strong. At that
time 1t was estimated that the short in
terest amounted to 10000 shares Moth
ing has occurred in the stocks history TO

Copper.

1t looks now as il the weighty foreign
mission which, went abroad to study the
copper situation was whistling to keen
its courage UP when II issued an opti-
mistic statement az to foreign demands
on its return to this country The mar
ket has not responded at all, according
to opinion in Wall Street yesterday. 1t
appears likely that there will be no de-
mand for copper from Europe for five or
six months. maybe longer. after peace is
signed. Germany and the Central Pow
ers Will be about the only customers
and this brings forward the rather
dubious problem of arranging credits for
them, problem In which the Allies OF
course will come first. 1t is not believed
that the Allies--that Is. England France
and Italy--will require any copper for
six months, Great Britain Is said TO
have 100000 pounds. on hand !:
France, similar amount. and Italy
about 6O,0oO.o00 pounds. Salvage opera
lions abroad. in which much copper used
for war purposes is being brought back
and refined for commercial purposes, will
likewise delay metal purchases in this

Market Opinion.

Here Is the way one OF the large
brokerage houses sizes up the situation
for the benefit Of its customers, THE be-
havior of this market on the reactions Is
more suggestive than that on the surges
upward. It looks like a market in which
cautious but persistent liquidation of the
big speculative position is under way,
aided by the frequent abrupt advances in
specialties. Until after the new loan, at
any rate, we may move more carefully,
combining new operations largely to such
special stocks as develop particular
reasons for enthusiasm from day to day.
In fact, ono may be justified in saying
that the movement we have already
seen has quite freely discounted the first
week or two Of the period of unrestraint
to follow the loan. The market is about
to don new spring clothes, but is fear
full they may have to be sent back to
the tailor for alteration in some respects
The Jewish holidays may be restrictive

GOSSIP OF WALL STREET.
A Peculiar Market.

The peculiar cross channels Of trading
have brought about such condition that
students Of the market and its actions
and probable actions find It exceedingly
difficult to forecast the markets future.
There appears to be no general trend.
Two stocks of similar attractiveness can
not be figured to so the same way, as
in the case of United States Steel and
Bethlehem b yesterday. The market
churns backward and forward on it's own
initiative, rather than on influences fur
nished by news from the outside. The
recent splutge, however, has tended to
increase rather than decrease the bearisi,
feeling among some of the big Wall
Street houses. The selling OF stocks has
been more important than the general
public has been led to believe. Instead OF
being professional dealings, as many be-
lieve. much of the stock 6ffered repre-
sents accumulated profits of large traders
under the impression that they will &c,

would most probably be construed to
be constitutional, as in a great many
cases it has been held that the treaty
making power of the United States is
broad and general. Whether or not
the treaty in question is in conflict
with this pronouncement Of the high
est court Of the land-Geoffrey VS..
Riggs, u. s. 25S, which places the
treaty making power as unlimited ex-
cept for the exact provisions Of the
constitutions one only for that
same court to determine. Personally
1t IL the humble opinion of the writer
that the treaty is not in violation or
any Of the provisions Of the federal
constitution, and the legislation enact
ed by congress based upon this treaty
therefore would be considered to be
valid and subsisting laws of the land.'
The original migratory bird act re-
Gently was held unconstitutional by
the district court for the eastern dis
trict of Arkansas, as an interference
with the police powers of the state;
it also was held that the law could
not be sustained as an exercise by
congress of the power to regulate
commerce; neither could it be sus-
tanned as an exercise OF the power to
protect the property of the United
States, o as an exercise of the i'm
piled powers Of the United States gov.
eminent.
In reference to this original migra-
tory bird law, Mr.. Bowman concludes:
$50 far as this act of congress has
been passed upon by the courts, they
have been unanimous in their holdings
that it was in conflict with the consti-
tuition for one or more Of the reasons
above suggested"
The supreme court of the United
States SO far has not passed Upon the
constitutionality Of either of the
migratory bird laws, and until It does
so, 1t is extremely dangerous to vio-
late any Of the provisions of either.
