NEW YORK, March 9.-IThe cotton
market was quiet today with prices
working lower under scattered realiz-
ing or liquidation which was probably
promoted by declines IN grain, the I'M
settled tone OF foreign exchanges and
rather more favorable reports of COM
ing crop prospects from the southwest.
May contracts sold off to 1897 ana
closed at 1898 with the general mar
ket closing barely steady at net de-
cline Of is to "a points.
The market opened steady at de-
cline of 4 to points on slightly dis
appointing Liverpool cables and re-
ports of better weather in Texas. Elk
cept for scattered realizing there was
not much pressure against the market
and after showing net losses of about
C to Il points, prices steadied UP some
what on the forecast for rains IN the
eastern belt and continued favorable
Manchester trade reports.
These features, however, failed to
inspire much buying power, while the
scattering liquidation continued and
the market was easier during the aft
ernoon under Wall street and western
selling accompanied by reports of
weakness in grains. March broke to
1925 and July to 1925. or 16 to 20
points net lower while october sold
off to 1855 or 20 points below last
nights quotations.
Private cables from Liverpool said
the market showed a good undertone
owing to the improved trade demand
for Lancashire cotton goods, but that
buying of futures had been checked
by unsettled political conditions re-
ferring to Ireland and India. The pros
pect for further rain in the eastern
belt ana consequent further delays in
farm work seemed TO be offset by re-
ports that farmers in south Texas
were replanting cotton caught by the
recent freeze. According TO these ad-
vices the cotton damaged was planted
pretty early in the season anyway and
the cold weather did some good by
killing off insects.
There were also reports that farm
ers in Texas were planning a sub
stantfaI increase in acreage. Reports
from the domestic market for cotton
goods were considered without any
important change.

THE COTTON MARKET
New Orleans.

NEW ORLEANS, March 9.--Unfav-
orable features of the session were
sufficiently numerous in cotton today
to open the trading at lower levels,
keep prices depressed throughout the
day and force them to their lowest in
the late trading when May sold down
to 1878 and the list showed losses of
% to 20 points. The close was 20 to
90 points net lower, with May at 1917.
The weakest period of the session fol-
lowed reports of wide break in the
wheat market.
Much of the selling was due to poor
cables. private messages from the Eng
lish market painting the outlook in the
engineers labor troubles and in the
India situation in gloomy colors, and
to reports of little doing in the spot
department and in the cloth markets
OF this country. Messages from Texas
points claimed that but little export
or other demand was being felt, that
offerings were somewhat freer in some
localities and that the basis was cas-
Ter.
The weather may caused selling for
a while because of snow and rain in
the northwestern sections OF the belt
but later was steadying influence
because of the rains it indicated in
central and eastern sections Of the
belt, where they were not wanted On
top OF this were further rains during
the day in the central belt, accord
ing to private messages.
Considerable interest was aroused
by the shipment out of this port Of $50
bales of cotton to Manila, the first
cotton shipment on record from New
Orleans to the Philippines.

End the Strike
(From the Washington Post }

The conflict between the striking
railroad shopmen and the carriers
has degenerated into an endurance
test that not only subjects the
strength of the immediate parties to
over-strain, but overtaxes the pa
tience of the public, whose welfare
Il threatens. Now that the warning
elements have dug in and refuse to
deal with the subject OF controversy
in the spirit OF compromise, the pub
lie, from its position in no mans
land, can plainly see the danger
from protracted deadlock that men
aces it, and by that token can see
the imperative need for abandon
ment of this sort Of warfare. But
neither side is apparently able to
realize the right of this interested
third party to full consideration and
the duty that both sides are under
to adjust their differences to the
end that the nations transportation
needs may be served. This SEEM
ing inability to grasp the public's
point Of view. which is now so OBJ
trusively manifest. has been in evil
dence from the beginning. It was
apparent in the refusal of certain
railroads to comply with Railroad
Labor Board rulings relative to
farming out" work-to which the
strike is partially traceable. 1t was
even more clearly manifest in the
shopmen's rejection of the Boards
decision on wages and their arbi-
trary and hasty stalking of a strike
in disregard of appeals for stay of
such action pending rehearing. It
has since been plainly evidenced by
both sides in their resort to the
deadlock tactics which are respon-
sible for present threatening condi-
tions.
The fact that Seniority" Is the
issue that now blocks adjustment
emphasizes the unnecessary costli-
ness OF the strike as a weapon in
Industrial disputes. This question
was not involved in the original con-
troversy. 1t is strictly strike prod
uct. Both sides have agreed to an
extent that clears the way for set
tlement of the matters originally in
issue. Therefore Americas trans
portation system and the nation it.
self are cast in the roles of victims
to a paralyzing deadlock over a
question that should never have ris-
en-.
Continuance of the existing dead
lock is out of the question. The con-
hict has already reached a point
that renders gain by either side
impossible. If IL were broken to-
day, the net result would be seri- |
Evening journal., 1922-08-11

/ Gus loss to both clashing elements
and to the public. To continue, 1t
would be to make such loss accu-
mulative. The interests of parties
concerned, including those Of the
public, urge immediate settlement.
Cessation of the strike is the only
answer that the problem admits
and this answer IS within the pow
er of the immediate parties to work
out. Failure, or rather refusal, so
to work it out would be inexcusable
and would challenge the govern
ment to resort to stern and direct
measures for protection of the pub
lie against the menace thus raised.
This is no time for delay over the
apportionment of blame for the ex-
listing situation. 1t IS time-past
time-to end the struggle.
The longer this problem remains
unsolved the harder It becomes.
Realization of this Is driven home
by the fact that deterioration of
rolling stock and incidental compli-
cations are daily making it more
difficult. 1t is charged by leaders
of certain railroad labor organiza-
tions not involved in the shOpmen's
strike that. as a result of inefficient
shop work, railway equipment is be-
coming unsafe to an extent that
threatens to endanger not only the
workers but the travelling public
This charge may or may not be
warranted by the facts, but it serves
to complicate the strike issues. For
It points TO increasing trouble for
the railroads in operating transpor-
tation. facilities and warns the pub
lie of the rise of additional matters
of dispute. It Is significant that
railroad labor leaders who are
stressing the deterioration of rolling
stock as cause for alarm largely
base their position on solicltude for
the public. This sounds a note that
should be held to, come what may.
The hour for real leadership in the
transportation industry has struck.
The situation calls for leaders that
can guide the conflicting elements
out OF the wilderness in which they
have wandered. Accomplishment of
this task depends not only on abil-
ity to lead, but on willingness to be
led. Let the solicltude for the pub
lie asserted by the railroad labor
leaders In the matter of rolling
stock deterioration be extended to
all elements concerned, and let it
be enlarged to include the publics
welfare. as well as its safety-and
the way out will be easy to find. A
way to settlement must eventually
be followed-and the sooner this
Is done the better for all involved.

Editorial Opinion
THE CIVIL SERVICE
LEAGUE ON THE PRESIDENT

/
From the New York Herald.
The committee on foreign service
of the National Civil Service Reform
League has made careful and i'm
partial Investigation of the appoint
ments made by President Harding
in the diplomatic and consular
service, and has found them highly
to the credit of the President.
The committee say that the atti-
tude of the Administration as ex-
emplified in the character of the
gentlemen named to it and pro-
NOTED within it "seems to indicate
that an earnest effort has been made
to retain the services of men of ex-
perience and to appoint TO diplo-
matte posts persons with qualifica-
tions in diplomacy"
A rating of 10 per cent. is given
by the committee to the administra-
tion of the consular service under
President Harding. In it merit and
proved fitness have been the tests by
which men have been selected for
enrolment transfer and promotion.
The hand of the petty politician
seeking something soft" for loyal
party workers" has been stayed. The
motto has not been ITO the victors
belong the spoils;" an intelligent and
determined effort has been made to
encourage the best and most COM
pletely trained men available to do
the nations work abroad.
These findings of the Civil Service
n 7 hauaH
on expert and intensive study of the
diplomatic and consular service.
They come from representatives of
an association which has never hesi- |
tated to criticize adversely the acts
of any Administration. In conse-
quence of this they are of peculiar
value.
Moreover. they support the obser-
vation and experience of Americans
whose business and pleasure take J
them to foreign lands. The testi- |
mony of these Americans is that the
diplomatic and consular representa-
tives of the United States under |
President Harding generally are well
suited to the tasks that are laid !
upon them and perform their official
and social duties with credit to
themselves and in a manner to win
respect for their country.
That personnel President Harding |
is endeavoring to build up and TO
fortify in what should be recognized
as a profession and not treated as
a rich piece of political loot and
the record, scanned by unpreJudiced,
well informed men, shows that he is
succeeding.
