Spectacular Rise of Mexican
Petroleum During Week Is
Feature of Market

NEW YORK, Dec. 23.-(By the AS
sociated Press)-The German repair
atoms question overshadowed all
other subjects of discussion in this
weeks financial markets. Attention
was conferred on this problem by the
announcement of j. p. Morgan and
company on Monday that they had
not notified the German ambassador
that no international loan to Ger
/ many could be considered or dis
cussed unless and until the repair
ations question was settled. Inc
statement was issued to set at rest
flock of rumors that were making
it embarrassing both for the adj
ministration and for local interna-
| tional bankers.
Considerable interest was aroused
later in the week by the announce
ment that the United States cham
Der of commerce had injected itself
! into the situation in an endeaVor
to help unravel the financial tangle,
but bankers withheld comment pend
ing more definite developments.
The main body of stocks showed
few important changes although
there were several interesting move
ments in individual shares.
The most spectacular of these
took place in Mexican Petroleum
which opened Thursday at 262, ad
vanced to 1922 in sales of 100 share
lots and then dropped back to SOL
for a net gain of AZ on the day.
Belated covering by trapped shor'
interests was ascribed as the reason
for the sensational rise. Baldwin
also was active at rising prices
; closoing the week 10 3-S points above
last Saturdays final figure. Severa
new high records for the year were
made during the week, includln'

be erected near the center, and from
this platform most of the musical pro-

IL is expected to hold the horse
show during the day and then again
after night to allow every one an op-
portunity to see the show. At night
the field will be illuminated with cleo.

step is likely to be. So far as the
present writer's personal feelings are
of any moment, it is perhaps at least
admissible to add that he views with
strong distaste the conditions when
evolution plainly points to as the next
step.
All prohibitions of any sort, whlcn
interfere with complete freedom OF
personal action are repugnant to the
fundamental American principle OF the
maximum of personal liberty. But
people who hold contrary opinions are
as certain TO, be over-ridden as are
workers themselves.

ton of function essential to the COM
mon welfare.
When the present law governing the
operations of the railroads was passed
the theory that railroad workers must
be denied the right to strike was put
! forward.
The question was debated in con-
gress earnestly on both sides In the
end the senate adopted the principle
| that for railroad men to strike is a
/ crime. The house. however, refused
to accept that principle anN after a two
months deadlock between the two
houses the senate was compelled to re-
cede.
i One reason why the senate lost that
fight lies in the unfortunate phrase
which happened to be attached to the
| principle the senate fought for. 1t was
called the "Anti-Strike" provision. AS
a matter of fact, this particular statute
applied not only to railroad workers,
but to railroad managers as well.
i In the actual listing of those who
were forbidden to enter into any
agreement likely to interrupt trans
portation the railroad managers came
ahead of the railroad workers. But
because of the phrase "Anti-Strike"
the bill got bad name and was beat
en-.
i To Come Up Again.
|; Sooner or later the question must
come up again and the question must
be settled whether or not railroad
workers are in the same class with
! the soldiers, policemen, firemen and
! others who must not strike; or wheth
er they are in the same class with mer
in other industries whose right to
strike is undeniable.
A shade further removed from those
who are by the general consensus Of
sentiment prohibited from striking is
the mine worker. The theory thai
coal belongs in the same classified
ton with transportation, police worl
/ and military operations in its indis
possibility to the public welfare i:
! just beginning to gain ground.
t The principle of the prohibition
against striking is in all cases related
: not to the nature of the work but alsC
to the manner in which the pay of the
worker is determined, wherever th'
work is purely private and the wages
are determined by a private employee
it is generally conceded that the EN-
ployee has complete freedom to strike

SOL MEREDITH POST, ORGANIZED IN 1882,

Of the original members of the first

only two are now known to be living,
Oran Perry and NJ. M. Lacey. That
post was organized on Aug. 81, 1866,
when the following notice was record
ed on the first page of the record
book: "A melting was called together
this evening consisting of the soldiers
of the late war" for the purpose OF

Officers.
At that time the following officers
were elected: Post commander, Col
Oran Perry; post adjutant, Major NJ
NJ. Lacey; post quartermaster, Major
John H. Popp. The book in which
the record is kept runs up to July
3, 1868, but the post was not supposed
to have been abandoned until nearly
1870, if not later. That would make
a stretch of ten years that Richmond
did not have G. A. R. post.
The old members are gradually get
ting fewer and fewer. At the ma

Richmond in attendance, because tbs
