BONDS SHOW ONLY
SMALL CHANGES

NEW YORK, May %. Changes in
today's bond market were very ir-
regular, but generally small. There
was no settled tendency. one way or
the other, and trading was light both
in the inside market and in the out
side.
AS railroad stocks steadied down.
there was less interest in railway
bonds Issues which had been quite
active and changeable last week bare
ly moved at all.
chesapeake and Ohio convertible 5s
appeared to have fully measured the
consequences of the postponement OF
the dividend on the stock Ihev I'M
proved a fraction.
This helped Baltimore and Ohio con-
yertibles, which had broken rather
badly on the Chesapeake dividend.
The Baltimores recovered half a point
frmer at 49A. as against 49Ss on
Saturday. Lehigh Valley 6s dropped
a half point to SO.
Among the high grade mortgage
issues the changes were trihlng. Baiti-
more and Ohio 4s at 67l4 were slightly
Southern IS at 55l2, and the Lake
Shore As of 1881 at slis. The Chicago
Union Station 61es. in which there was
quite a revival of interest last week
were unchanged at lO2ss.
Foreign Bonds Easier.
Foreign government bonds felt only
slightly the effect of the fall in the
exchanges. French IS. still influ-
enced more by the new $lO0.O0O.O00
loan, were we'll supported at last
weeks final level of 99A.
The United Kingdom 512s of 1897.
possibly in response to the action in
sterling. dropped off from s5@4 10 s.i:
Norway Ss were stronger at 1OoH
and Danish SIS at 9Se. while the
Danish municipal So were weak,
down from sSA to s7ls. Mexican
government So. which left off Satur-
day at 1872. rallied to so. Brazilian
IS were q shade easier at 9iss
Among the Industrial Packard Mo-
tor s. were off a fraction at 81 y.

motor shares. Kelly Springfield IS
at ssIA and Mexican Petroleum SIS at
aS1h were unchanged. So were the
new Dupont 71.s at par. Selling con-
tinued in the Sinclair Oil 73-S IN re-
sponse to the heaviness in most of the
oil shares.
Trading began in the new French

RIDING TO A FALL

The industries of this country can
neither prosper nor long survive un-
der the burden of wartime wages
and working conditions.
This is as true of the railroads
as of other industries.
There can be no prosperity or nor
NAL employment of labor unless the
general cost OF production Is lowered
1t is evident as to all industries and
particularly the railroad that waga
and working conditions are abnor-
NAL
The number of idle industries, the
number operating on part-time. the
number operating at part-capacity.
and the number of idle workmen. in
each particular is distressinsly large,
but, instead of recognizing this as
necessitating revision downward of
wages and working conditions be-
cause largely occasioned by abnol =
mality in this respect, so-called labor
leaders are making matters worse
and increasing the already large
number Of idle factories and work
men bv arbitrarily opposing every
effort toward such revision.
1t is surprising indeed that rail
road employees who constitute the
highest paid class of labor in the
world and who during the war and
since benefited from wage increases
and working concessions to much
greater extent than any other class,
should now be the most active and
conspicuous in opposing readiust-
ment. In this they not only dis
play selfishness but lack of judge
ment and leadership.
There must and will be a revision
of wages and working conditions
comprising all industries including
the railroad and this revision will
be soon a nd downward. In this
respect the public mind is crystal
lized, determined and Will brook no
interference. Whether organized
or unorganized those who oppose
such revision are riding to a fall.

OLD WHITE, A NOTORIOUS
COLORADO WOLF, MEETS DEATI

Details of the capture and death
of "Old White the ferocious lead
er of a pack of wolves that for years
caused great destruction among
live stock on Bear Springs Mesa.
Colorado. are contained in report
received recently by the Bureau of
Biological Survey United States De-
partment of Agriculture. The cap
ture lacked some of the more spec
tacuiar elements that marked the
passing of the now famous Custer
Wolf, but in many ways 1t is looked
upon as among the notable kills
made through the skill and patience
of Government hunters in their
work of Kidding the cattle ranges of
the West of predatory animals.
Early in the spring by the clever
strategy of one of the hunters, the
mate of this .i'...'li and OIL, Of The
leaders of the pack was captured.
and 1t was thought that"Old White"
would then fall ready victim. But
he proved more difiicult.for although
several good chances to get the old
fellow occurred, on each trip to the
Government traps he would "step
lucky" as the hunter described L..
Finally the hunter selected favor
able spot and placed four traps In
a blind set, and 1t was In these that
the marauder was caught.
''Old White" has black history
and caused losses in live stock
amounting to many thousands Of
dollars. For Ia years he roamed
the Bear Springs Mesa country. One
rancher alone lost about $4,000

FIRST SNOW FALLS

The first snow storm for this COM
munity has been looked for for sever
al weeks, but it did not arrive, until
Sunday night, when it showed enough
and became cold enough to let every
body agree that winter had come.
This fall has been remarkable one.
Until this cold snap there has not
been a real hard killing frost. !. Many
had stated that cold weather had held
OF this fall longer than it ever had in
the last forty years. Week in and
week out during the fall each day
has been mild and warm. There was.
one week of rain, but 1t seemed more
like spring than fall. The drop in
the mercury Sunday night was the
first to be noticeable. The reports
were that the thermometer. registered
about IL degrees below zero. The
rest of the week has been clear and
cold. .a ,,.
