WAR ON RADICAL LABOR.
Philadelphia Manufacturing Have
Dropped 10000 Workers.

PhliadelphiasEit the textile
workers of thfs city must perform
their tasks in a capable manner and
epudiatc their radical union leaders
or approximately f25,OOO Of them
will be out of work, it was declared
today by J. L. Benton. managing di-
rector OF the Philadelphia Textile
Manufacturers Association.
Mr.S Benton said that the manufac-
1 lrers had already started to weed
cut the incompetents who have been
forced on them by labor and that
10000 such workers had been
dropped.
"'The manufacturers are in posi-
tion now to do this said Mr.. Ben
ton: during the war they were not"
His assertions We're backed up by
Simon Miller Of the firm Of Jacob
Miller & Sons, James Clark. presi-
dent of the Orinoka Mills; William
Folwell Of Folwell Brothers & Co.,
and other prominent textile men.
Exception was, Immediately taken
by Harold Beardsley, president of the
Textile District Council and Of the
Wooden and Carpet Yarn Workers
Union and other labor leaders Those
leaders Indignantly charged that the
statements of Mr.. Benton and the
other manufacturers were merely
made as the opening guns of fight
for the open shop.
1.-THE manufacturers are eager for
efficient, skilled workers and eager
to aid those in their employ who de-
sire to become efficient" said Mr..
Benton. 1.-THE textile manufacturers
are not opposed to unions. They be-
lieve labor organizations have done
and will do good. But they are OPP
posed to radical leaders and are go
ing to the mat here now with them"

No Markets For Hides and Wool.

Philadelphia, Nov. 4.-Wool dealers
are experiencing the dullest period in
their history. There is, in effect, no
basis for prices of wool, as there is
practically no market.
The hosiery market continues de-
moralized. The inability of manu-
facturers' to determine upon a price
level and to strictly adhere to such i
level is, reported as the main cause
for this situation. The closing OF
plants is general and unemployment
in the industry is prevalent
AS result of the almost total alb
sence of activity in the shoe manu-
featuring industry, conditions in the
leather trade are chaotic. Tanners

Chicago, Nov. Assertions that
country offerings of wheat were
somewhat larger gave an advantage
today to bears in the wheat market.
1t was contended also that wheat
was still out of line with other grains
and with commodities In general.
Support was lacking. Initial prices,
which ranged from II to 2& cents
lower, with December at $2.04a to
$2061a and March at s1.96 to s1.97,
were followed by moderate further
setback.
Subsequently apparent slowness of
export demand led to increased
weakness. The close was nervous. 3 y

Corn.
Corn sasged with wheat. After

including December at S1ai to S2A
the market continued easy.
Smallness Of receipts tended later

closed steady, l cent net lower to "a

Oats reflected the weakness of

Fraudulent Old Clocks.

The brass lantern clocks of the six,
teenth and seventeenth centuries have
made a strong appeal 70 collectors
and this fact has led to the manufac-
ture of replicas of the old clocks
When these are sold frankly as rep
licas. there is nothing to be said
against such practice; but. unfor-
tunately. the matter does not stop here
and too often the attempt Is made to
palm off an imitation as genuine
old clock. Famous makers names are
added and various expedIents adopted
to make the new clock pass muster as
an old one Such frauds are deplora-
BILE from every point of view. and the
ignorance of many collectors makes
success possible. Every one. IL is OBJ
vious, cannot possess a genuine old
clock. 1t would be well If this fact
were faced. and the clocks bought
simply as reproductions. by all those
who are not in position to make
reasonably sure that they are really
purchasing a genuine old English
