Stock Market
as seen by
BULLS q Bears

Reported by H. b. Lake & Co.
New York, May 1s.-The turnover was
the smallest recorded in some time. Pub
lie participation in the market seems to
have dwindled to a negligible volume
and the passing back and forth of stocks
by the professional element seems to
constitute the bulk Of business Tho re-
newal rate Of money a trifle lower, but
this did not alter to any great extent the
speculative temperament. The results Of
the federal reserve board meeting of
today are looked forward to with con-
siderable interest. 1t looks rs though ex-
treme efforts will be restored to toward
TO release much Of the frozen credit
which In great part aggrevates the rather
unfavorable status OF the money posi-
will require some time. but at the same
time any material progress Of this sort
would serve to restore a greater degree
OF confidence, later on, however, at the
moment 1t looks as though the trading
market will be the order OF things.

GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.

Chicago, May 18.-Prices crashed down
In the corn market today as much as

loans in grain, did a good deal to
bring about the selling stampede which
took place and which attained almost
whirlwind force at the last. The close
was semi-demorahzed at 81 to 6N cents
net lower with July $1.69& to H:70 and
September S1.60A to S160as. Oats finished
h to cents down, and provisions of
TN to IS cents.
Weakness in the corn market began
to develop as soon as trading com

bonds increased the .uneasiness due to

further deepened by word of extensive
price slashing at department stores and
Of Industrial establishments laying off
employees.

radical measures were about to be
quickly taken by the Interstate com

movement Of grain. The consequent
downward plunge of the corn market
became especially wild just before the
close. Rallying power was but little In

PRODUCTION" CRY
But a Mask For Low Wages
Declares Morrison
Non-Union Shop Basis of At
tack on Labor

Washington.-Th claill that union
ism interferes with greater production
and efficiency is a mask to conceal
employers opposition to organized la
Dor, said Frank Morrison, secretary of
the A. F. of L., replying to a New
York newspapers request for labor's
views on the present non-union shop
movement
"The attack on labor is in many
sections of the country and is based
on the non-union shop" said the trade
union official. "These employers want
to bargain with employees as individ-
uals. The organized workers insist on
collective bargaining This blocks the
employers plan to set wages and
working conditions, without voice by
labor
These employers are crafty, how
ever. They do not announce their
purpose. That they may capture pub
lie opinion, which quite often affects
judicial decisions, they talk about
greater efficiency.
These employers should practice
production and efficiency Their idle
mills at the present time, which have
been shut down TO maintain famine
prices, indict their production demand.
AS regards efficiency claims, let them
end the killing and woundine Of hun
dreds of thousands of workers in IN
dustry because of unguarded machin-
cry and occupational diseases: let
them consult government reports on
every phase OF production and they
will find that millions Of dollars are
wasted because Of their unscientifc
methods But before they put their
business affairs on an economical. ef-
fcient basis, let them investigate the
recent charge by Comptroller Of the
Currency Williams that a handful Of
New York bankers have the com
#merce Of the nation by the throat
1t is inconceivable that business
men can imagine workers are so lack
ing in a knowledge Of common inform
alton that they are unable to detect
the pretense Of employers who would
conceal their ineffciency by insisting
that labor reduce its living standards.
Labor will not reduce its living
standards The present attempt is
identical with movements when labor
was less intelligent and less unified
IF these business men are SO blind
to world events and the spirit Of un-
rest that they court fight with labor
rather than travel the road of har-
mony and good viii, they viii be re
sponsible for the result

The union shop is a challenge to alb
solutism in industry.
In the union shop the employer is
shorn of autocratic power to set
wages, hours and working conditions
Here, joint bargaining is the rule.
The workers have a voice.
In the non-unoin shop the employer
is master.
This employer is less frank than the
Roman slave owner and the feudal
baron, both of whom controlled the
lives of their chattels But his pur-
pose is the same-mastery over the
men and women of toll.
He makes no pretense of superiority

WOULD OUTLAW
STRIKES
Oregon Employers Behind
Bill For That Purpose

Portland, Ore.-The theory that
strikes can be stopped by jailing
workers rather than remove the cause
of strikes is being urged in this state.
Employing interests are behind a bill
patterned after the Kansas law.
Under the proposed act if two per-
sons agree to quit their employment
they could be jailed as conspirators
to hinder production Picketing and
the boycott would be forbidden and
any trade union official who called a
strike under instructions of his union
could be fined $4,000 and jailed for
two years.
Three judges, appointed by the gov
ernor, will have unlimited powers over
the lives Of the workers.
The State Federation of Labor has
taken charge of opposition to this pro-
posal, and Oregon trade unionists are
sharpening their tomahawks for po-
litical agents of reaction who would
handcuf workers to their jobs.

Seattle The Washington State
Federation Of Labor is urging a com

by the act. The law is nine years old
and they point out that 1911 mini

treatment to vassals.
There are only two systems in in
dustry union and non-union.
The union system rests on collective
bargaining and the workers right to
be represented by persons of their own
choosing.
The non-union system rests on in
dividual bargaining with the worker
pleading his own case or by apersor
the employer approves.
The non-union system is never re-
ferred to as such by feudal employees.
Their publicity agents coin catchy
phrases to cloak this un-American
system.

similar terms are tricky, decetful and
misleading

would destroy independence in their

vashon Island Cemetery

think the Island cemetery
needs no description, for most of
our citizens have been there and
well remember the condition of
that Silent City of the Dead.
Last night | was watching the
fire at Burton, and one of Burton IS
citizens said to me, I'VE have just
forty feet of community spirit
here. "How is that9" was my
query He replied, "See that
water hose of forty feet ~" Yes. "
"Well, that tells its own story"
AT nearly every Island funeral
one will find friends from the
mainland districts, and often |
have wondered what they think of
our community spirit when they
see our cemetery.
The dead are little concerned
about external appearances, but it
is an eyesore to us, the living.
No one party or faction is TO
blame for this condition. It simply
means that all of us have been neg
ligent.
If you are interested and wish
to contribute toward bringing
about betterment of conditions,
confer with Mr.. w. d. Garvm,
who has some unique ideas on this
issue.
| am not voicing my own ideas
when say it is high time to i'm
prove our cemetery, but the re
quests have come TO me from indi-
viduals who have loved ones rest
ing on yonder sacred hill.

or less effective, but they are void
of vital soul-saying piety. Nor is
this an Intentional matter. Many
of those people are good at heart
and have aspirations and motives
of high character. But there is
that in this principle that is posi-
lively destructive of spiritual life.
They may retain their moral vir-
tue through the influence the per-
sonal relation to the church may
effect against the power of the
contagion, but the religious nature
can be at best but spiritually apa-
thetic and listless.
But there is another testimony.
This is the latest and startling.
This testimony comes from the
lips Of the worlds social leader
Paris. Paris is offering a protest
against certain forms of American
dances. A thing that can bring
blush to the artificial cheek of
city that is the recognized social
pace-setter Of the world can claim
no virtue in America, though some
good American may unconsciously
commend its practice. But such
condemnable forms are not toler-
ated it may be claimed. But since
he principle involved is institu-
tional no form of the principle
can be fostered without involving
"A responsibility for the whole
principle.
The thing to do is to drain the
land of the swamp and change the
nature of the environment that
the contagion may cease, and in
its stead may come forth graces to
help and beautify society.
