The Cent Comes Back.

Our smallest coin, the cent, is EN-.
crying from the low position in public
esteem which it has occupied for many
years, says the Pittsburgh Gazette
Times. Under the operation Of the
new revenue law it will achieve the
favor which it deserves at the hands
Of thrifty people. Prosperity brought
the copper coin into contempt. Now
that we are to cut out extravaganza
and waste, the cent will be respected
like every other necessity. One may
not care to burden himself with a
fistful of the erstwhile despised near.
money" but we are entering upon an
era Of odd prices which makes the
one-cent piece essential to the COM
monest transactions of the day. The
prosperous may escape the annoyance
of over-many coppers by buying such
quantities they can make payments In
multiples of nickels and dimes, but
even that resource may fail them. The
public will soon look askance upon the
citizen who buys more than enough
for immediate needs. "Hoarders" are
not In favor, thanks to the warnings
issued by the food and other admin
istrators Of necessities. So the peO-
pie generally may as well make up
their minds to carry pennies" and
make and receive odd change when
ever they buy.

RAMSEY WILL BE
IN CITY FRIDAY
To TALK LOANS
Governor W. P. G. Harding
Likely To Miss Meeting
At albuquerque, Is the
Latest Report.

Judge w. F. Ramsey of Dallas,
representing the federal reserve
banks, is expected to arrive in AL
buquerque this evening and re-
main until Friday night for con-
ference with local bankers and
stockmen. From the latest reports,
1T Is probable that Governor w. p.
G. Harding, head of the federal re-
serve board, will not spend more
than a few hours in Albuquerque
and may miss the city entirely.
Under the present plan, Judge
Ramsey will take up the question
OF loans with the stockmen who
are here and will act as far as pos
sible for Governor Harding. If Mr..
Harding does arrive, it is likely
to be early Friday evening and in
that event, he will be forced to
leave within a very few hours for
Ell Paso. Those stockmen who ar
rive and do not have sufficient
opportunity to confer with him
here will possibly go to Ell Paso
for the conferences there.
Wires were sent out last evening
inviting stockmen and bankers to
be in the city Friday.

Is No justification for a
Second Reduction in the
Pay Of Workmen
INCREASES IN HOURS
OF LABOR OPPOSED
Building Trades Representa-
tive Says the Dealers Are
Responsible for High Con-
StruCti0n Costs,

Denver, Colo, June S.--Co-op-
GRAFTON and joint action by all the
metal working tnRde unions in the
country to resist further reductions
in wages and Increases in the
hours Of labor, was urged today by
James O'Connell, president of the
metal trades department of the
American Federation of Labor, in
his annual address to the depart
ment's convention.
Building trades workers were
also warned by william Spencer,
secretary of the building trades de-
partment, in his address before
the departments convention, that
further wage cuts were not 1usti-
fled. He placed the responsibility
for excessive building costs upon
the building materials dealers of
the country and not on labor.
Despite the deplorable industrial
situation, President O'Connell of
the metal trades said there was no
justification for a second reduc-
ton of wages, nor above all, can
| conceive of any reason whereby
the hours of labor should be in
creased with millions out of en-
ployment."
The labor leader asserted that
the proposed plan for united ac-
ton in the metal trades did not in
volve the "one big union" idea,
but its purpose is to secure closer
and more direct cooperation be-
tween affiliated organizations. This
would also enable the metal trades,
he said, to act as unit IN oppos-
ing employers attempts to abolish
collective bargaining, the nom
union shop and compulsory sign
ing of individual contracts.
