LABoR's NEW PROGRAM

After listening for three years to
talks OF radicalism, bolshevism and
other isms OF destruction It is heart
ening indeed to learn that the lead
ers OF American Labor, speaking
thru the committee OF the American
Federation OF Labor have determined
on a definite progressive platform
which has for its foundation the
cleansing OF its ranks OF radicals.
No one really familiar with the
personnel OF the labor ranks has
feared its influence IN American af-
fairs. Its men are American, They
know American traditions and Amer
lean ideals. Most OF them are self
reliant men who need no socialistic
scheme to support them. They want
no paternalism. They seek only
square deal and an opportunity to
work TO make their own way.
The socialist tendency in labor
ranks. the radlcalism OF which we
have heard so much OF late. and
which have initiated against the
standing OF labor in the minds OF the
average American are foreign i'm
portatlons brot here by foreign agi-
tators who unfortunately have risen
to heights OF power in some OF the
organizations.
AZ times these leaders have In
f!uenced their organizations TO a
marked degree. This radicalism is
sounder than the utterances OF these
leaders would Indicate.
To insure the thorough American
ism OF the ranks OF labor provision
should Re made that no unnatural
lied citizen would be eligible TO an
office in any national state or local
labor union.

leaders would be IN a far better pos

CULIING THE WEAKER ONES

During the past few months over
the country there have been numcr.
Gus failures, and for these there are
many contributing factors.
Not the least OF the reasons for
business reversals now is the fact
that during the war and the bust
ness boom attendant there on many
men went into business ventures
which were then unduly inflated
and in which great profits were be-
ting made. Many OF those who
launched business firms had little
or no previous experiences in the
particular lines in which they engag-
ed.
At the outset many OF these pros
pered. They thot they knew their
game, and so long as they played on
n rising market they won. hut a
rising market does not take n mans
measure In business. That requires
time and the entry OF the disturbing
elements; fluctuations In value
Tightening OF credits. restrictions OF
markets and other elements which
call for quick decisions and careful
planning; as well as financial
strength to weather storms. And
these are the things which are now
being manifest In the failures that
have been recorded
Take the sheep industry for ex-
rwple. There were many even In
this section who In the years from
1915 to 1913 who went into the
sheep game without previous exper-
ience or sufficient capital. so long
M the prices rose they prospered
Eut their prosperity was more ap-
parent than real. The biting frost
Of a downward market, high priced
feed and the losses that naturally
come In every business found them
unequal to the task OF playing the
other fellows game" They are. many
OF them. out OF the sheep game now.
No doubt many OF them are hold
Ing briefs against one person or an
other for their failure. They are
blaming this and that interest with
their reverse; overlooking entirely
the natural laws; OF which they have
little knowledge; or too much pride
TO admit.
What has happened here In the
sheep and cattle game has and will
happen In other communities and In
other lines OF endeavor. The men
who are well grounded In bust
ness; who know its possibilities for
trouble as we'll as its avenues for
profit; and are governed by that
knowledge and strictly attend 20
their affairs will undoubtedly sue
coed in the long rum
Even business men of the highest
ability. and with plenty OF capital
will have their periods OF trouble.
Business would be a stale flat game
u Il did not demand all that Is In
a man. II is a game. The greatest
one played today, and like every
other game played IN competition.
not every player can win. Some
must lose: and that someone Is
bound TO be he whit enters the game

ish.

S125,OOO,OOO Loan to Rail-
ways Approved by Traffic
Board.

Washington, May 21,-A loan Of
at least s125, 100000, out of the
s3OO,OOO,OOO revolving fund to en-
able railroads to purchase equip
ment required to meet transportation
needs of the public was approved by
the interstate commerce commission.
Other recommendations for the
disbursement of the revolving fund
provided in the transportation act
were as follows:
Temporary reserve for claims
and judgments, S4O,0O0,OOO: appro-
priation for short-line railroads, S12-
900, 900; temporary reserve for ma
turtles, $5O,O0o,OOO: appropriations
for additions and betterments which
will promote the movement of cars.
100000"
New equipment required by rail-
roads to meet minimum needs is es-
timated by the interstate commerce
commission at 1000 locomotives and
100000 freight cars, including 2o,-
600 refrigerator cars.
"It is evident" the commission
statment said, "that the equipment
required properly to meet the trans
portation needs of the public cannot
be secured unless the carriers them
selves assume the burden of fnanc-
ing the remaining rs per cent"
Since the distribution of the re-
volving fund by cooperative action
with the railroads have proven i'm
practicable, the commission said allo-
cation of the 100000 for equip
ment would be made according to
the percentage which the standard
return of company bears to the to-
tai standard return of all the rail-
roads. In referring to the opposition
to this plan by the national associa-
ton of owners of railroad securities
the commission remarked that "few
applicants seem to appreciate the ne
cessity that the carrier assume part
of the burden and so use the amount
advanced by the government, as the
basis of car trusts is to obtain the
greatest benefit from federal aid"
Hearings to consider applications
for loans, will be held here May 18th
and the commission asked that appli-
cations embody in detail the state
ments of the transportation needs
which the carrier would be unable to
meet and what service for the public
could not be performed if the loan
asked was not granted, statements of
security offered and the earning
power of the applicants.

Prices. Il:

New York, May Influenced by
the nationwide price cutting agita-
ton that is steadily gaining ground,
the principal commodity markets of
the country today continued to
"mark down" quoted values. Cotton,
sugar and corn options broke violent
ly here. and in Chicago and cereals
and provisions, including pork, also
suffered sharp reactions. Signif-
cance was attached to the drop in the
pork prices as marking the first pro-
nounced break in high priced food
stuffs.
The stock exchange showed i'm
provement on a sharp recovery of
liberty bonds and victory notes.
A large part of today's liquidation
in cotton and grains was attributed
to the further scaling down of credits
by banking institutions here and in
other reserve centres, evidently in
conformity with the request of the
federal reserve board.
In the local cotton market May
contracts broke almost 400 points,
with equally sharp reactions in New
Orleans. The Liverpool market also
reported substantial reactions.
Domestic and foreign metal mark
cts quoted lower prices for spot and
future deliveries, silver proving the
only exception at a slight rise in Lon
don. Little business was done here in
copper for immediate delivery.
Banks in the uptown or wholesale
dry goods district reported additional
loan contraction and most of the re-
tail shops advertised "cuts" of rs to
40 per cent in women's wearing ap-
parel.
Dealings in liberty bonds and vic
tory notes failed to reach the huge
totals of the two preceding days, but
most of the business was on an as
cending scale. Practically all the lib
erty issues closed at the days maxi
mum quotations, gains extending
from per cent to 304 per cent. The
fourth 4 IL scoring the greatest ad-
vance.

years.
The most notable educational
change that has taken place during
the fifty years covered by the report
is in the attendance in high schools
There are now 100 times as many pu-
pills enrolled in high schools as there
were in 1910. The number then was
$4,000 and now it is nearly 2,OOO,-
900. The high school attendance has
increased with great rapidity, but the
new pupils have been mostly girls.
In the matter of teachers salaries,
the state shows most diversified prac-
tices. The lowest average salary is
$25 per month for the state of North
Carolina, while the highest is $S8 in
California, both being based on a
wear of twelve months.
