Guidance.

While the most important part OF
the testimony which was given by

times. that the fundamental issue

try. while the employers are con-
vinced that the open shop is, from
every point of view. the best for the
workers themselves, for the employ

there were two incidental state
ments made by Judge Gary which
seem to have escaped general no.
tice. He was asked by Senator
Phipps II 1t were not the fact that
the plants OF the steel industry are
operated chiefly by machinery. and

Judge Gary promptly answered

But II a skilled artisan does little

use Of 1t would result in damage
and possibly catastrophe. Judge
Gary says that the skilled artisan

For Advances.
By BRoADAN WALL.

New York. Oct. 7.-Another day of
buoyancy was seen in the stock mar

way from one point or two up to ten
Specialties were conspicuous, but care
ful analysis of the market discloses
the fact that standard issues contrib
uted much to the days strength
Most of the stocks that advanced Were
industrials. but that was in accord
ance with the fitness of things The
industrials are the only safe invest
ments nowadays. Some good buying
was seen in the rail list, but only in
a few stocks where there are indus-
trial reasons for optimism. Thus. for
instance, Central of New Jersey was
up 81 points. but that is really coal
company with the railroad as side
issue.
The big stocks Of the day were

Baldwin. WOTthington Pump. United

preferred. Loose Wiles and National
Biscuit. Fisher Body and Emerson
Birmingham. Several of these made
new high records.
President Wilson's improving health
was a cheering influence but it is not
likely that the Presidents condition.
ihas caused some serious losses to the
more influence on the market. The
shock Of his sudden illness has forced
the financial world to protect itself
rInder all circumstances. Probably the
sInost powerful factor at the moment
is the expectation that the supreme
Court will refuse to reverse itself in
regard to the taxability of stock divi-
deEds.
\ There has been some liquidation in
IL. S. Steel stock by insiders who say
.that while the strike is a failure. 1t
has caused some serious losse to the
icompany. Their selling. however. IS
lbnly for a turn. They believe abso-
;iutely in the investment feature of
the stock.
