Daily Wall Street Gossip
BY HOLLAND.

New York. April 2e.--A few days before
 his eighty-sixth birthday, Chauncey NJ.
 Depew suggested that It might be feasible
 to organize the masses into voluntary
 union with intent thereby to demonstrate
 to ,As minority classes that they cannot ' so act ss to impair public safety, curtan importation and interfere with the
 movement of the necessaries of life. Senator Depew did not speak in jest when ne made this suggestion He has
 told his friends that if there could be
 some way perfected whereby the great
 public could be brought into voluntary as- soeiation, well organized but inactive, ex- lpecting in time of peril to transportation
 and to the movement of the necessaries of life then in all probability a reserve or
 ganization of that kind would suffice with it's moral strength alone to protect the rublic which in the past has Been tho chef sufferer from strikes.
 It was in part due to Mr. DepeS's suggestion. and in part to the recent out- Jaw and elevator experiences which for few days were severe, that the Chamber Of Commerce of New York undertook to initiate an organization which it is hoped may become nationwide. and maybe of instant avail in case there should come peril oecarioned by strike.
 The Chamber of Commerce of New YoSk is not opposed to the organization of labor into unions. Its members believe thas unions have accomplished much for the benefit of the working men But there is now apprehension that as labor begins to feel its power, and as 1t rec ognszes the disposition of some who are in political life to carry favor with it, the danger is that the unions, and, in fact all labor, whether union or non union, will make increasing demands and follow up these demands with such sac- ton as the recent unauthorized railroad strike Illustrates. The Chamber of Con- merce calls this unauthorized railroad strike the action of an irresponsible mi- nority which sought to imperil our form of government.
 GREAT VOLUNTEER RESERVE
 When the United States entered into the European war the government was able to call into an immediate service a large number of army and navy reserves. It was in no small measure due to the service of these reserves that the govern ment was able to expedite it's war activ- ities and also to overcome efforts which were made by some pacifists to prevent effective action by the United States.
 It is with the army and navy reserve in mind that the Chamber of Commerce has decided to organize a committee on public welfare, with intent to protect the public in case there be future strikes sim far to those Of the railroads, Of the coal miners, and in New York to the elevator operators.
 This plan met with instant favor. It has already been demonstrated that~the public approves it. 4 large number of business men in New York stand committed Jc the rlan And it is the understanding that

Sugar Market


 New York, April 29.-The local market for raw sugar was firm today. and while prices were unchanged at 1s1zc for Cubas, cost and freight, equal to 19.56c for cen trifugal. there appeared to be little bet ter inquiry, and 1t was believed that higher prices would be paid for supplies. but offerings were light
 There was nothing in the refined situa- tion and prices were unchanged at 17G18c for fine granulated. Deliveries are in- proving daily, but the demand Is still active and refiners unable to take much new business, owing to their well sold up position.
 Aside from May. which closed 20 points higher sugar futures were easier, closing at 5 to 25 points decline, although business was light, with operators inclined to hold off and await developments. July sold from 1S &01s.soc, and September at 18.35c. the only two months traded in.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1920-04-30

already tctween 2.O0O to 5000 have volun- teered to join the organization, holding themselves in reserve for such action as may he necessary to protect the puhiiS from occasional strikes.
 IT MAY BECOME NATIONAL
 This movement may become national There seems to be no reason why if in New York it is possible to establish large and competent reserve force which is to be called into action in case there comes strikes which are a menace to the public. then in all other parts of the United States, especially in the large pop ulstion centers, it should be possible to effect similar organization
 It was a voluntary association, spontan- ecus and instant in it's action. which served the public in the vicinity of New York at the time of the recent raiirosd strikes Young men ana men of mlc1ie age volunteered to aid in the running sof trains. It was an interesting sight at some of the railroad stations on the Jer- sey side and also the Pennsylvania sta tion in New York which was witnesseu by those who saw hundreds of Noiun- teers. many of them students from ~the universities of New York, who were anN- ious to serve in such manner as to make it possible to move the trains. There IS no doubt that this voluntary and instant uprising of volunteers who represented the public was chief among the mIiu- erces which neutralized the strike in New York city and its vicinity
 A PERFECTED sORG ANIMATION
 If an organization of this kind be per fected then there will always be in re serve sufficient number who could be called upon to protect the public if there be menacing strikes. This reserve organ ization will not be antagonistic to labor unions, it's sole purpose being to protect the public at any time when labor has gone so far as to threaten the people wlth the deprivation of the necessaries or nte and such serious consequences as would be caused by the holding Up Of railway transportation.
 The plans are not perfected. But 1t is apparently the purpose so to mobilize the volunteers as to make it possible for those who can aid in the running of railroad trains or in the operation of elevators or in the transportation of food from the railroad stations to the distributing points to become SO qualified that each depart ment of the organization in its own Held can take up the work in case there should be call for such service.
 Senator Depew believes that there may come as the result of the recent strikes, which have imperiled the welfare of the public, the perfecting of a nationwide volunteer reserve organization, which as a whole would represent the great public, and would make 1t impossible for the ir- responsible minority to interrupt normal channels of communication and of pub- lie service. An organization of this kind would also demonstrate in MT. Depew's s opinion to the so-called irresponsible mi nority that if there be any attempt to ifnpair or destroy our form of govern ment, the great mass of the American public slxillfull yorganized into volunteer reserves would speedily make it clear that ar attempt of this kind would be futile.

NO SHORTAGE IN AMERICAN TOYS

Harry c. Ives of 2o72 North avenue, who is at the head of the Ives Manu- featuring Go. on Holland avenue, which firm makes mechanical toyes, is also the president of the Toy Manu- facturers of the United States. He was asked recently whether or not there was a shortage of toys of do- mestic make. Without hesitation he replied that all such talk was bosh, in fact it was worse than bosh that it was deliberate misrepresentation Mfsre presentation of an interested sort.
 Figures compiled by the association of which MT. Ives is the head show most conclusive1y that the American production of toys from the simplest dolls to the most elaborate mechanical playthings is not only sufficient to meet the needs but the rm has been able to export $3,0OO,O0O worth of dolls, toys and playthings.
 '"The American production of toys for 1920 is, conservatively, $So,ooo'- 900. Of that total $15,00o,0NO repre- sents the production of dolls ranging from the stuffed cloth variety to the finest quality throughout and surpass- ing anything in dolls ever produced anywhere in the world. do not man ufacture dolls but I have had the fact absolutely proved to me.
 'Tncluded in the balance of $65,- 100000 worth of American toys are playthings of all kinds and all made of honest materials, finest workman ship and durability combined with or 1 iginality of ideas and design and Of | truly educational value that plaqe

 q have been astonished to see in ! the daily press articles in regard to
 imported toys which would tend to i make American mothers believe that
 at the coming holidays there will not be enough American toys for their
 children Toys are national to the
 country of origin as they have been since the days of the early Egyptians | If there is any good reason why Amer | ican children should have foreign toys forced upon them when the supply ot
 their own national playthings E
 abundant, I have never heard of it.
