FILES DAMAGE SUIT
WHEN GIVEN BATH
BY HERBERT WAGGONER.
Ueased Wire Service to The Journal }
lEnnn-r ifrht 1000 l

HUTCHINSON, Kans., Aug. 19.-
Whether a bath can be worth $10,-
900, especially when the recipient of
it realizes full well that it is not
Saturday night, will be determined
by the Kansas courts.
w. w. Patterson, a former rail-
road fireman, had the bath. But he
insists that he did not need it. And,
anyway, in his opinion that particu-
lar bath should net him a nice finan-
cial stake, inasmuch as the Kansas
laws some times are sweeping.
He has filed a claim with the city
clerk under the anti-mob law for al
legged injuries received while in Jail
here. Under the Kansas law an in
dividual who suffers injury at the
hands of a mob-the law defines a
mob a sthree or more persons acting
in concerted manner-can recover
from the city or town within whose
limits the alleged injuries are re-
ceiVed.
According to the papers which
Patterson has filed here, while he
was confined in the Jail a year ago,
thirteen other prisoners-the number
may be significant for this city-set
upon him and ASSAULTED him with
hands and feet" He insists that his
back was severely wrenched and that
he can not perform any sort of man
ual labor as a result.
Sheriff w. 7. Clark said today that
it was entirely proved that Patterson
has not performed any manual labor
in a year, but he is certain this is
not due to any injuries received while
a guest at the Jail. He said that fol-
lowing the alleged assault, Patterson
made a complaint to him, and that
the Jail physician carefully examined
the man and found nothing whatever
the matter with him.
81 asked the other prisoners about
the matter" said the sheriff. "They
said there had been no assault. They
held a kangaroo court to deal with
discipline among the prisoners. Pat
terson was hailed before it because
other prisoners complained that he
was not sanitary.
Patterson insulted the court and
cursed it roundly, SO several huskies
just took him and saw that he was
cleaned up. He was thrown into the
tub and when they got through he
was clean enough"
Patterson's claim will be disposed
of by the city councillor who indicated
today that he will disallow it. Then,
under the law, it is expected that
Patterson will bring a suit against
Sheriff Clark, naming the city as
codefendant.

GRAIN

CHICAGO, Aug. 21.-After making new
low prices for all deliveries of wheat, the
market turned stronger today, and from the
low prices of the morning scored a substan-
tal advance. The main cause Of the early
selling was the pronounced weakness at Liv-
erpool that marked the opening at a sharp
decline, and later weakening still more, clos
ing pa to Az pence lower, the biggest
decline being on the near month. The ex-'
sales were reported Of upwards of 100000
bushels here, with business at the seaboard
placed at about 100000 bushels in all
positions. The country offerings were fair.
but shippers are handicapped by the lack
Of cars at many points. Spring wheat re-
ports from both sides of the lien were
favorable. Shorts covered freely. The yisi-
BILE supply increased l 1894 900 bushels.
Corn rallied with wheat after a sharp set
back in the first hour. There was a good
demand for cash corn apparently and the
market was steady. Country offerings were
light. Export buying was of small proper
tions. Receipts were estimated at 240 cars.
The visible supply total stocks showed a de-
crease of 2,239, 900 bushels.
Oats were steady throughout the day. On
the early dip in other grains the market
was steady and there was free buying by
commission houses and by shorts, which
found offerings less heavy than recently.
The visible supply increased 424. 900 bushels.
with primary receipts 1887 900 bushels,
against 1902, 900 bushels year ago.

cies. In the long run they work to
the disadvantage Of labor. Still, they
are the usual recourse of labor when
it is met by obstacles that do not
yield.
Right here is the problem of the
employer of the next few years. How
shall he meet the new temper Of Ia
Dor? In my opinion that ugly tenn
per must be met by open dealing,
by setting before labor the facts I'm.
der which business is done and by
admitting labor progressively to q
greater share in management of the
elements Of the industrial relations
which most directly concern labor
That is to say: the time to develop
personnel departments, set up profit
sharing, organize shop committees
and all of the rest of the things
that belong to this class is, not
when labor is in the saddle and holds
a gun at the employers head, but
when the employer himself is in the
saddle and is in the position to die
tate terms.
1.-THE employer does not have to
take this reasonable course, if he
does not want to. He can use these
next years to pile up trouble for
himself and his successors in days
to come. If, however, the employer
is wise, he will take advantage of
his position to set up the best
kind of machinery, with which to
defend himself and his industry. 1t
is not question of strikes in the
immediate future. 1t will be a ques-
ton of sabotage. Sabotage, howev-
er, is worse than strikes. 1t demands
it's own Treatment.
''In view of these conditions, in
vestors should give more thought to
the labor policies of the companies
in which they purchase securities.
An examination Of corporation earn
ings shows that the labor policy is
the great determining factor between
profit and loss during normal times.
This especially applies to various
concerns in the same line of indus
try. They all pay approximately the
same price for raw materials; they
all have practically the same hours
of work, but one company succeeds
and the other fails. Statistics show
that the difference is very largely
due to their labor and financial pol
icies. Therefore, conservative in
vestorS will seek securities of compa-
MES which have a broadminded labor
policy, and which companies are now
developing plans which will be of
use when the next period of pros
perity comes. Ice can not be gath
cred in the summer, but must be put
up in the winter when it is not
needed. The same principle applies
to labor. Labor troubles are very
difficult to settle when they occur.
Wise manufacturers prepare, during
such times as these, preventative
measures so that labor troubles will
not occur when times are good"
General business is holding it's own
according to the index. of the Bah
son chart. 1t shows activity today at
7 per cent below normal as G. lpared
with s Per cent last week and minus
8 per cent a year ago.

BABSON SEES END OF
LABOR DISTURBANCES

WELLESLEY HILLS, Mass, Aug.
19.-In view Of the newspaper space
recently taken by the coal strike,
railroad strike and certain textile
strikes, we are prone to think that
ent time. Roger w. Babson, how
ever, refutes this opinion in a state
ment issued today as follows:
LAS a matter of fact, we have very
few strikes at the present time. Ever
since the war strike curve has been
below the point which was then cali
ed normal The fact that we have
had three strikes of large dimen-
siOns blinds us to this basic truth.
Two of these strikes, the coal strike
and the rail shipments strike, are
in industries which have not been
Debated, so far as war time wages
go. The other, the cotton textile
strike, has been partially Debated
and the trouble is about going the
rest Of the distance. The difficulties
in CHEESE three industries are then
cases, Of belated hostilities.
For the most part, labor is not
striking, wages are being gradually
let down to lower levels and the dis
position Of men is to keep at work.
There is always rise in the strike
curve during the summer. We are
having that rise now. Nevertheless,
We are not having the number or
the wide distribution of strikes which
we had last year or at any time since
1915. We will not have a repetition
of those conditions this year. The
strike curve is nearer, normal than
almost anything else in industry.
AS to the future, the answer is to
be looked for in conditions. What
made the tremendous wave or strikes
which marked the years 1915 to 1920?
The simple fact that there were
more jobs than men; that the cost
OF living was going up; that labor
was in a position to force the issue.
No such prospect is in view for the
years right ahead. Therefore, we
need not look for repetition of
the strike conditions of the war
days. Those days are passed. Never
theless, we are going to have strikes.
There are going to be a good many
OF them. They are going to be called
for reasons other than the ones that
backed the strikes of war time. Then
men went on strike for more pay.
Fhey were courageous, confident,
buoyant. They were sure Of success.
They were seldom disappointed. In
the future just ahead, they are 60
ing to strike against wage cuts,
against attempts to rule out the un-
ions. They are not going to be as
successful as they were in the war
time strikes.
"1n consequence of this the real
question of the next few years is
as to the frame of mind which La
Dor is going to have. In contrast
with the buoyant confidence of the
war years, labor is now going to be
sullen, resentful, revengeful. What
they do not gain in open victories.
they are going to be disposed to ac-
complish by indirect means. A man
can get the best of his boss and by
all kinds Of nasty tricks in the fac
tory. These are shortEsighted poll

BERLIN, Aug. 19.-Even Chan

when his colleague, Foreign Mn
lister Rathenau, was aSSassinated,
is beginning to show signs of weak
ness and despair. His faith in the
ability of the government to go on
with the policy Of fulfillment" IS
vanishing in the face of the new fl
nancial and economic difficulties,
which have arisen as the result of
the failure of the London conference
and what he terms the political coll
sequence of Poincare's policy of de-
struction." To a number Of news
papermen he announced that the
world would soon be standing at the
death bed of the German nation, I'M
less the French changed their atti-
tude.
Germany cannot pay another
mark in gold for Preparations" he
declared, "only this week, upon my
own responsibility, 1 made a pay
ment of 100000 gold marks, and
to do this 1 had to draw upon our
reserve funds which were to insure
a grain supply for this month. Ii
we pay out more in gold, there will
be shortage of food this winter,

inevitable consequences. We are tc-

NEW YORK RAW SUGAR MARKET
AMERICAN VESSEL
FIRED ON BY CHINESE

SHANGHAI,S Aug. 19.-(By the
Associated Press.)-The American
river steamer Alice Dollar was fired
on August Is near Fuchow on the
Upper Yangtse river, and her cap
tain, C. Crum, slightly wounded, &C.
cording to advices received by the
Robert Dollar company here, from
Icnang, province of Hupeh.
Volleys were poured into the Alice
Dollar from the banks, presumably
by troops of both northern and
southern forces, which have been
reported firing on other vessels OH
the Yangtze. Hundreds of bullets
struck the American steamer, bur
only the captin was wounded. The
captain sent all passengers below
decks when the shooting began.
The scene of the firing was in the
famous Gorge district of the YangtZe
river, along whose stretches northern
and southern troops have been al
ternately fighting and raiding coun-
tryside since Sun Vat Sen sent his
army northward several months ago
in an Intellectual drive against the
Pekin line. The locality of the dis.
turbances is about 800 miles up the
YangtZe from Shanghai.
The British firm of Jardine &
Mathison also have received advices
of an attack made on their steamer,
Fuh Wo, August /, by contending
northerners and southerners between
Ichang province and Hupes and
Chunking, province of Szechuan,
along the Szechaun border. This
dispatch said that a number of pas
senger boats had been fired on in
this neighborhood.
The attack on the Alice Dollar is
the second instance of Chinese
partisans firing on the American
flag during the past few weeks.
On July IA a Standard Oil barge
| was the target for a fusillade of
bullets near Canton. This attack
was said to have been made by sol
diers under the command of Zip Kue,
Chen Chiung-Ming' lieutenant who
ousted Sun Vat Sen from the presi-
dency of South China.
