CHICAGO WORKERS
MAY WORK IF THEY
WILL NOT STRIKE

Chicago.--A new offer to union
building trade workers to act as
strikebreakers is made in the latest
of the series of two-column editorial
advertisements published in the local
dailies by the so-called Citizens Com
mittee to enforce the Lands Award.
ANY union workman in these ten
trades" reads the offer, "who is will
ling to- give his personal guarantee
that he win work under the condi-
tons of the award, will work eace-
fully with fellow workmeh ana not
Join in a strike, will be given employ
ment by applying to the new joint
employment offices Of the contrac-
tors associations and the Citizens
Committee, 21s North Clark street"
The ten trades involved, which are
the ones not working according to
the Lands award, are the carpenters,
fathers, plumbers, laborers, fixture
hangers, sheet metal workers, compo-
sition roofers, slate and tile roofers,
cement finishers, hosting engineers.
The committees lavish advertising
appeal is regarded in labor circles
as proof of its failure to break union
ranks.

When Hessler stayed away from

visited by two militia sergeants and a
private, who ordered Hessler, his
wife, and two union men who asked
him to stay at home, to report to
Captain Lewis at his office. There,
Hessler says, he signed some papers

Although

In Germany divorce is frowned on

These statistics should give jolt
TO those who have lulled themselves
into believing that the housing short
age was resolving itself. On the con-
trary il is plainly growing more
acute, and general and substantial
increase in rents in a period of in
dustrial depression not only proves
a shortage of housing but II rs an
alarming social tragedy in tie face
of widespread unemployment and
lower income.
The Nation suggests several ways
out of this lack of housing. Several
ways have been tried successfully in
New York.

taxation in New York for a period

Raw wool Continues quiet.

Tho present lull in trading in the
raw wool market may be ascribed to
some extent to belief among many
buyers that prices have reached their
peak and that they soon will begin
to recede Raw wool dealers for
the most part attribute the slaclSening
In demand to the fact that most manu-
facturers have covered their require
mcnts for the immediate future. Evi-
dence of the belief that present quota
tions are peak prices is seen In the
reluctance of buyers to commit them
selves for any sizable quantities to
cover future wants. The strength OF
the foreign markets Is doing much to
buoy up domestic prices.

general response to the fall lines sur
prfsed manufacturers who were inclined
to believe that caution would be the key
note Of jobbers' preparations for the
fall season. Initial orders from the

that jobbers are contracting for goods

The eccentricities of the raw cotton
market have produced considerable un-
certainty among both buyers and
sellers. Mills and buyers alike think
that it is a wise policy to hold off from
operating heavily until conditions In tho

state. Some large purchasers are ex-
pected to enter the market before tho
end of the year to cover their needs for

There are no signs of any let-up In
the strong demand for denims. Manu-
facturers Of overalls continue to buy
rather heavily to cover their require
ments for several months ahead. Tho
fact that present prices are Anot on a
parity with raw material prices and
that further advances are considered
almost inevitable accounts for the en-.
thtlsiasm of buyers to provide for their
future wants. An important selling
agent reported that he is sold up for

COTTON DECLINES
IN DULL TRADING
Proximity of Government Crop
and Ginning Reports Tends
20 Restrict Trading.

The cotton market continued a
featureless affair yesterday Price
movements throughout the session were
small and mostly the result of profess
sional give and take operations. The
market closed TO IL points net lower
after having been both 8 TO "a net lower
and Z TO II net higher earlier in the
day The proximity of the Government
ginning report on December s. followed
q few days later by the final crop esti-
mate OF the Department of Agriculture,
tended to restrict the volume OF new
Business.
Early pressure in the market was
caused by disquieting trade advices
from Manchester, fear of higher ginning
returns than expected and the reac-
tionary tendency OF securities prices.
according TO reports circulating in the
trade the National Ginners' Association
placed the total number of bales ginned
prior to December l at 9,550.000 bales
and the crop at 9.675,000 bales. This
was somewhat lower than looked for
and probably accounted for a little of
the scattered short covering that de-
veloped in the course of the day.
