NEW YORK. Sept. Omitted
Press -Prices we're steady IN the
general list at the start OF today's
session on the New York Stock Ex-
change. demonstrating indifference
felt in the financial community re-
garding Samuel Gompers' threat OF
a general strike. No serious thought
was entertained in the trading mind
/ that the American Federation OF
Labor could bring about a wide
spread waikout. after the railroad
shopcrafts had failed TO induce a
sympathetic movement on the part
OF the operating divisions. Active in
dustrial and rails showed only frac-
tional changes from the previous
close during early dealings.
Mexican Petroleum was under
pressure because OF the belief In
financial circles that speculative ex-
pectations OF extra dividends at the
; next board meeting were destined to
be disappointed.
But many sections OF the market
reflected steady accumulation. Mo-
tors we're particularly buoyant in
response 10 the extraordinary man
ner in which sales are holding up.
Studebaker reached a new high on
the present movement while Chan
dler. General Motors and Willis
Overland issues were in demand.
Specialties like General Cigars and
May Department Stores achieved
further new highs for 1922 and the
general list was steady around the
best levels seen on the current rise.

Persistent reports circulated that
II strike leaders refused to abide
by the terms OF the injunction,
troops would be called out to patrol
the railroads.
Leaders recovered from the bomb
she'll thrown by Attorney General
Daugherty and made no move to
check a strike.
A guarded statement from the
headquarters OF the Federated shop
crafts declared that organization
would support the governments ef-
fort to END lawlessness and violence
in connection with the strike"
The statement declared, however.
1T can hardly be assumed that the

ton OF staying there until the strike

II was reported that Jewell went

John Scott. secretary 10 Jewell,
declared that n the injunction was
lived up TO the letter. continuation OF
the strike would be impossible.
United States Marshal continued
efforts to serve subpoenas on the
131 OF the shopmen's organization
named In the injunction. The court.
held, however. that publication OF
the injunction would be equivalent
to personal service. Union leaders
speculated as TO how far the govern
ment would go in backing the court
order.
They pointed out that a mere
grimace or word OF encouragement
10 a striker would make the giver
liable to contempt OF court.
The government stood ready to
take even more drastic steps. II was
indicated.
Use OF State and national troops.
and the issuing OF receiverships for
all roads were among the measures
considered.
Few OF those named in the In
junction would be found today and
among those who were located there
was general disinclination to dis
cuss the injunction.
Leaders apparently awaited 20
see what the government was go-
ing TO do next. II was learned on
good authority that neither Jewell
nor any other leader OF the shop
crafts had Issued any statements

cilmen-those men will be respon-
sible for the selection of a capable
manager. Once he is secured, and he
must be a good man in order to con-
tinue on the job, the work Of the COM
mission is lessened. There will be
the frequent conferences over what
shall be the better course to pursue
in order to attain the success soughti
but the heavy work falls upon the
manager. He it is who "hires and
fires" without let or hindrance; and
because he will be a stranger to all
people he will secure and place only
the best and most capable men in the
various positions. He will have no
favors to curry-no politics to play.
All he wishes is what the commits
sioners also wish; to bring about bet
ter conditions and do it with les
sened expense. If the manager is
capable he will see that the desires of
the commissioners are carried out;
but it will be wholly ''up to him" to
bring about the results in the way he
deems best.
When Palatka casts her favorable
vote for the new plan the people must
not look for marked change in 6
moment. There are no fairy wands
in these days to entirely alter the as
pect of conditions in a flash. There
will be many things to be considered
many problems to be solved only aft
err hard study. There are occasional
Ily cases on record where wonderful
changes have been brought abou
within few months-but sucl
things should not be expected. Then
Iif they do occur, as they have il
some of the Florida cities that have
adopted the new form of govern
ment, they are the more appreciated
That there will be a reduction of eX
pense with a corresponding increase
of betterment is positive. Such has
been found to be the case everywhere
the plan has been given fair trial.
The very bulkiness of the city
council of Palatka, and the fact thai
all the work of that body is success
fully carried out by what might b.
termed "a hopeless minority" SHOULD

Tells Why Scandals
Exist in Enforcement
of Volstead Law

Entirely apart from the general
question of the right or wrong OF pro
hibition, there can be no question that
the attempted or pretende denforce-
ment of the Eolstead act has been
attended with more administrative
scandals than have soiled all other
activities of the government during this
generation says Willis Fletcher
Johnson in the North American Re
view. There is no possible doubt that
he exemption of the prohibition agents
from civil service requirements at
forded the opportunity for all these
i,hominable scandals; and, with a some
what extended observation of such
matters balanced against a natural de-
sire to be chritable, / find it difficult
to avoid wondering if it was not with
tie deliberate intent of making such
in opportunity that many congressman
were insistent upon compelling such
exemption. 1t is no less difficult to
conceive any decent reason why, so
long as it remains upon the statute
book, the Folstead act should not be
entrusted TO the same administrative
agencies that enforce all other laws"

RURAL CREDITS
LEGISLATION

NNE of the chief questions be-
~ fore the present congress is
rural credits. If it is answered in
the form of sound legislation, all
the country will benefit as well as
the farmer, says the Chicago I'll
bune. If it is answered unwisely
with unsound legislation, all the
country will be hurt, and first OF
all the farmer.
At least three rural credits bills
have been introduced, including the
measure of Senator Norris. backed
by the more radical members OF
the farm bloc. This measure, 1t is
believed in Washington, will be
promptly rejected. Of the other
two, one introduced by Senator
Capper is Endorsed by the live
stock men and was formulated by
MI. Eugune Meyer, Jr., of the War
Finance corporation. The other,
introduced by Senator Lenroot, is
said to have the approval Of Sec
rotary Wallace.
Discussion of legislation will fol-
low, but in the meantime it is to
be hoped that the farmers, in spite
of their sense of Injustice in ex-
