the railway executives We're pleading

when rates are based not upon the
value Of the service rendered, but
upon the imperative needs Of rail

The trade union movement means
more Than high wages, short hours
and improved working conditions. 1t
means intellectual development of the
mass. 1t means Independent wage
earners, who carry this independence
from the shop, mill and mine into the
affairs cf everyday life.
And herein lies a major reason for
the opposition to organized labor.
The trade unionist is interested in
other things than shop conditions.
Every economic, political and social
question attracts him.
His collective voice is heard on edu-
cation finance, industry, agriculture
and transportation He fights for free
press, speech and assemblage, and
will go to prison that this heritage
is assured.
He creates new public opinion by his
constructive craftsmanship, his in
sistence on just relations between
men, and his vigor in exposing wrong
He demands that democracy func-
ton.
This type Of worker is not favor
ed by anti-union employers, anti-union
newspapers, anti-union business men
and anti-union bankers and their po-
litical agents
These elements want "contented"
workers They want men who are
thankful for their joos, who will per-
NIT the boss to do their thinking, form
their opinions and tell them how to
vote.
This is why these elements believe
IN organization for their kind, but
deny it to wage earners. They look
upon organization as protection to
their power over the unorganized,
while trade union is a challenge to
their power

Poisoning Industrial Body
Intelligent business men are slowly
coming ID the point Of view that tho
railroads are a menace to all industry
and will poison commerce until heroic
remedies are applied to their ills.
They are asking themselves whether
their ill-considered attitude of hos
tility to naturalization Of the trans
portation industry is not reacting dis
advantageouslv upon them and cost
ing them great loss of money and
considerable concern for the future.
Failure Of the railroads to transport
freight has been a hard blow to Amer
lcan business. No one has yet esi-
mattel Just what share of responsi-
bility for the existing panic can be
traced back to railroad ineffciency.
It is undisputed. however, that the
money loss has been heavy, which is
in addition to the decentralization Of
production agencies.

The transportation act is not pro-

not giving satisfactory service, and

Curb Prices Firm
In Quiet Session;
Decline i'm Silver
Andustrials Are Generally
Steady, Oils Irregular;
Stocks Long Quiet Arc
Purchased by Interests

Interest was attached to tho mining
shares in the quiet trading on the curb
market yesterday. Price movements
were irregular. Several industrials long
neglected were noted among the days
transactions, among these being Proc
ter & Gamble, Firestone Tire and
Goodyear Tire.
The Tonopah Divide stocks. which
had been among the strongest features
recently, were offered freely on profit
taking account and were all lower, but
there was another reason to be found
for this decline in tho heavy tone in
the silver metal market, which in Lon
don, with present rates for sterling
exchange, was equal to 81 cents an
ounce for foreign silver, although that
decline does not apply TO metal pro-
duced in this country. Other mining
stocks were also active, with most at
tention devoted to Boston and Montana,
which continued its upward movement
and was in good demand at a further
advance, chiefly because of the esti-
mates of output after actual produc-
ton begins.
The industrial issues were generally
steady, with an unusual amount Of
business in the higher class invest
ment stocks. Proctor & Gamble sold
at 40. Fircstone Tire at 119, and Good
year Tire at Ill. There was small
amount Of trading in Singer Manu-
featuring at 1874. American Chicle
preferred sold at 80. The lower-priced
~,,J
change National City Bank rights were
traded in at 81. Hercules Paper was
fairly steady, selling at 25A to 25h,
and retail Candy during the forenoon
was traded in at 121.
Petroleum stocks we're irregular, In
tcrnational Petroleum being in supply
and selling in the early trading at 34A

Wheat Is Higher
On Active Buying
For Export Trade
Selling of March Deliveries
Laid to Bearish View of
Crop Conditions; Cash
Premiums Are Stronger

The wheat market experienced n
sharp rally during yesterdays oper-
ations and at the close of the day con-
tracts were SC to Az net higher. There
was quite active buying Of December,
believed to be against Mondays export
sales to Southern Europe, and general
lack of pressure from the country
caused uncasiness among shorts. The
volume Of export business yesterday
was comparatively small, consisting Of
about 100000 bushels, including sales
made late on Monday and not previous
ly reported.
markets generally were higher Mime
apolis showing an advance of 3 cents
a bushel, while Kansas City was to 10
cents higher. Some authorities were
inclined to attribute the turn in the
market to the removal Of the embargo
against shipments of grain through
Galveston, as it was thought that this
VIII facilitate export operations from
the Southwestern winter wheat belt.
Mondays decrease in the visible supply
in the midst of the grain ment
period was another factor in the sit
uatlon, which called attention to the
,act that wheat is not coming to mar
ket as fast as it is needed for dis
tributicn.
There was some further selling of
March, and this undoubtedly reflected
bearlsh construction of favorable
crop advlces from Australia Argentina
and India, which countries will have
wheat for sale after the turn of the
new year. In some quarters it was
thought that the chances are in favor
