MORE LOSSES IN
COTTON MARKET
Prices Were Within 80 to so Points
of the Lowest Touched Since
August Advance.

NEW YORK, Sept. 16-There were
further declines in the cotton market
today with December contracts SELL
ing off to 1900 and closing at that
level compared with 1852 at the close
yesterday. The general market closed
easy at a net decline of So to 81
points, making losses Of about 200 to
2S3 points as compared with the high
prices touched on the storm news Of
last Saturday.
The market opened steady at a de-
cline of 10 to 80 points on easier late
cables from Liverpool, scattering
liquidation and southern selling.
There were rallies of some fifteen or
twenty points shortly after the call on
rumors of low private condition figures
including reports from New Orleans
that an association of growers made
it only 1876 indicating a crop of $780,
900. There was also some buying on
bullish spot advices from the south
west but the bulge met increased Of
ferings, with the market soon becom-
ing nervous and unsettled. Breaks of
48 to So points from last nights clos
ing figures were checked by covering
early in the afternoon. Otherwise.
there appeared 10 De very uILl6 CS-
mand, however, and the failure of un-
favorable crop figures to stimulate
more buying. probably encouraged the
afternoon selling. Much of the pres
sure was attributed to the liquidation
of scattering commission house ac-
counts and increased southern selling
also was reported on the break to
1857 for October and 1885 for Janu-
airy.
These prices were within thirty to-
sixty points of the lowest touched
since the advance on the August
bureau, eliminated at Bits for Janu-
airy contracts on September Z. Re-
ports from the goods trade indicat-
ing that buyers were unwilling to
place contracts for forward deliveries
of goods at higher prices were con-
sidered one of the factors on the de-
cline. The days weather map was
considered favorable and reports of
improving conditions In the north and
northwest Texas were received during
the day.

More Unemployed

Washington-As the result of re-
ports from representative establish
ments in 13 manufacturing industr :es
and in bituminous mining, the United
States bureau of labor statistics says:
"Comparing the figures of April,
1921, with those for identical estab-
lishments for April, 1920, it appears
that in all industries there were de-
creases in the number of persons en-
ployed. The largest decreases, 41.9
per cent and 400 per cent, are shown
in automobiles and leather. Iron and
steel show decrease of 36.2 per cent,
and hosiery and underwear decrease
of 1922 per cent. The smallest de-
crease, a per cent, appears in cotton
manufacturing.
GAIL of the ID industries show ie-
creases in the total amount of the
pay roll for April, 1921, as compare 1
with April, 1920. The most important
percentage decrease, 53.8, is shown
in iron and steel. Respective je-
creases of 48.1 per cent and 45 pei
cent appear in the leather, hosiery
and underwear, and automobile in
dustries."

EQUAL|ZE WAGES
MINERS POOLING PLAN URGED
BY WORKERS
Standardization of Wages Favored
BY Coal Miners and Endorsed by
British Coal Onwners
and Statesmen

Indianapolis national wage
pool plan, favored by British coal
miners, is indorsed by farsighted coal
owners and statesmen, according to
Henry Evans, writing to the United
Mine Workers Journal from Ears
don, England. The pool plan means
small tax on every ton of coal to
be used to equalize wages.
The writer calls attention to re-
port by the recent Sankey commits
sion, appointed by the government,
which shows that the cost of mining
coal in $50 pits varied from $3.12 to
$12 a ton.
$50 the standardization of wages"
says Mr.. Lewis, "involves the creation
of some arrangement by which the
industry can be treated for certain
purposes as unity. This policy has
been turned down by the employers,
and it has been rejected by the gov.
ernment, but in spite of that, the
evidence in favor of it is, venture
to say, overwhelming. In 1894, after
the settlement of the great strike, Sir
George Elliott, the great South Wales
coal owner, urged the pooling idea.
Again, Sir Richard Redmayne, the
late chief mine Inspector of the
British mines, and Sir Arthur Loves
Dickinson, men who sat on the San
key commission, whose characters
are unimpeachable, Impressed it upon
the commission, mainly in the inter-
ests of the coal consumer. The coal
controllers department was so i'm
pressed with the financial wasteful-
| ness Of the present system that it
actually prepared and printed a
scheme of unifcation Cor pooling).
Three other business men who were
opposed to naturalization were Sir
Arthur Duckham, Mr. Balfour and
Sir Thomas Rayden. All these men
recommended that some measures of
unification be brought into the coal
interests for the benefit of the gov
ernment and the consumers. Yet,
mark you, the last five persons named
above were the gentlemen selected by
the government and mine owners to
represent them on the Sankey coal
commission. Plainly, their advice has
been ignored by the employers and by
the government.
"In fact, the whole of Judge San
keys findings have ben turned down
and that is why we are at a stand
still today in the British coal mines,
and unless there is great change in
the employers views fear it will be
long and bitter struggle"

Chinese For Hawaii
Wanted by Planters

hington-Recent statements in
the public press that there is labor
shortage in the Hawaiian islands is
propaganda for sugar planters, who
want congress to permit them to i'm
port coolie labor.
According to information received
at A. f. of l.. headquarters from
Honolulu, trade unionists there are
protesting against the creation of an
emergency labor commission, in de-
fiance of law, to come to Washington
for the purpose of urging the admis-
sion of Chinese.
Under the organic act, which Gre
ated the territory of Hawaii, a fed
eral labor commission must be Gre
ated periodically to conduct an in
dustrial survey of these islands. This
commission should be created this
year, but this has been disregarded
by the governor, senate and house,
all combined to carry out the sugar
planters scheme. A bill creating an
emergency labor commission to pre-
sent the matter to the president and
congress was rushed through the
Legislature.
A labor representative was unable
to gain recognition from the chair
while the bill was being considered by
the house.
with characteristic plantation
tactics" the unionists say, when the
matter came up for debate, the pre-
vious question was moved at once,
thus preventing any expression of
opinion. The whole proceeding ap-
.peared to be a sharp piece Of par
liamentary trickery designed to slip
the measure through without roll
call and without permitting the CEN
trfl labor unions argument to be
of cred to the house"
Joined with the sugar planters are
other corporations who cry labor
shortage" as camoufage to import
coolies. The Oahu Railway company
claims its work is hampered by a
labor shortage Trade unionists reply
that all the men required for any
kind Of railroad work can be quickly
found if the company will pay stan
dard wages.

Coal Owners Get Hint

Philadelphia-B. C. Forbes, who is
considered business authority, drops
a hint to coal owners that they may
go too far in upholding prices.
In the Public Ledger, Mr. Forbes
writes:
Goal is not being produced from
the mines today at rate sufficient
to meet next winters normal require
ments. Rather than make coal
cheaper, operators have chosen to
throw more than 100000 miners out
of work. Pay our price or go with
out is the ultimatum they have
presented to the American people.
1t is a daring policy to pursue, con-
sidering the past performances of
coal barons and the American pub
lies bitter feeling toward them. APP
parently the coal sellers reason that
product is necessity and that the
public will be forced to step up to
the counter and pay the high prices
demanded.
"They may be guessing wrongly.
"If the present deadlock lasts very
much longer, public opinion is likely
to demand that the government step
in and break it ruthlessly.
"The coal peopel would do we'll not
to invite such extreme action, for
they are likely to find that their
stubbornness was lamentably short
sighted.
There are few industries in
America which, size considered, have
made more millionaires than coal"

Low Wage Propaganda
Is Based on Fiction

Washington-The low wage propa-
ganda of railroad managers and their
supporters who talk of prewar rates
is at variance with a report made in
April, 1918, by railroad wage COM
mission, appointed by Director Gen
eral McAdoo.
This commission was composed of
the late Franklin K. Lane, then sec
retary of the interior; Charles c. Nc
Chord, member of the interstate COM
merce commission; ]. Harry Coving-
ton, judge of the District of Columbia
court, and William R. Wilcox, former
postmaster of New York city
In it's report this commission said:
1T has been somewhat popular i'm
preston that railroad employees were
among the most highly paid workers.
But figures gathered from the rail
roads disposed of this belief. Fifty
one per cent of all employees during
December, 1917, received $75 per
month or less. And 80 per cent re-
ceived 500 per month or less. Even
among the locomotive engineers, COM
monty spoken of as highly paid, a
preponderating number receives less
than $170 per month, and this COM
pensation they have attained by the
most compact and complete organiza-
ton, handled with full appreciation
of all strategical values. Between the
grades receiving from $3.50 to $3.50
per month, there is included less than
3 per cent of all the employees lex
cluding offcials), and these aggre-
gates less than $4,000 men out of a
grand total of 100000.
"These, it is to be noted, are not
prewar figures; they represent con-
ditions after year of war, and two
years of rising prices. And each dol
lar now represents in it's power to
purchase a place in which to live,
food to eat, and clothing to wear, but
II cents as against the 100 cents of
January /, 1916"
