RALLIES FOLLOW OPENING DECLINE IN COTTON PRICES

NEW YORK, Feb. 14.-An opening decline on relatively easy Liverpool cables was followed by rallies on bull fish domestic consumption figures in the cotton market today. May con tracts sold up from 2S.13c to 2S.43c, or l4 points net higher, but lost part ot the gain. closing at 2S.23c. The gen. eral market closed steady, net un- changed to points lower, last prices showing reactions of 13 to 20 points from the best under scattering hqui- dation or realizing.
 The market opened steady to 10 points lower. Private cables from Liverpool reported scattered liquida- ton with buying restricted by unset tied political conditions, and houses with Liverpool connections had few selling orders around the ring. There also was scattered southern and local selling, but it was quickly absorbed, with the market turning upward shortly after the call on the bullish report of the census bureau. This showed domestic consumption of 3lo,- 675 bales for January, or the third largest for any month and high figure for January.
 Exceed Expectations
 The figures compared with con- sumption of 526,6 69S bales for January last year and evidently exceeded ex- pectations. Naturally, they tended to emphasize the strength of the statis- tical position but after showing net advances of about to 10 points, trading became quiet with the mar ket showing hesitation. This may have been due partly to unconfirmed reports of disturb developments in the Near East, which led to furry of liquidation during the early after noon.
 The market steadied around 2S.25c for Ma. and soon turned upward again on bullish southern spot ad- vices. March sold up from 27.S4c to aS.05c, and October from 25.l4c to 25.44c, with the general list showing net advances os about 9 to 19 points. There was no general or aggressive buying, however, and the market eased eff in the late trading when there was some liquidation. Port re- ceipts. 9.S7S United States port stocks. S4l,s71.

NEW

Housed in the handsome bank build

Eminent public men and labor lead

commend the order i in it's ambitious

Grand Chief Warren S. Stone, Of the

Keep Contract.
We take this occasion TO declare
again our solemn belief that labor
should keep its contracts with en-
ployers to the very limit Of the bond,
in letter and in spirit. Our move
ment's very life Is dependent upon
square dealing on the part Of the
members. But leaving aside the NOR
al ethics OF labor's action toward en-
ployers, we declare again that the

lis legal and should not be cause for
monetary damage. The wisdom or I'M
wisdom OF any specific strike, its jus
tice or injustice, has nothing to dc
with this right, which Is an inherent
one. To argue otherwise, would be
an admission Of something labor never
will admit, viz: that employers have
property right in mans labor power
Property right is lawfully and prop.
erly vested in all material, inanimate
things. The right OF labor to give OF
withhold its labor power, singly or in
concert, Is not property right--it is
9 human right. The ethics Of one
man OF group OF men ceasing work
under any conditions has nothing to
do with the case. It would be a most
happy condition II the relations be-
tween all employers and all workers
could be 50 fair and so pleasant that
strikes would become thing un-
known. But employers must realize
that one Of the risks Of industry or
commerce is the strike risk which
they take when they enter business
and that they have neither a legal
nor a moral right to hope to exact
monetary compensation from men who
have quit their employ, singly or in
concert.
Support Promised.
This State Federation Of Labor will
exert its powers and its influence to
the utmost to bring about such a hap
by understanding between employers
and workers generally, as to reduce to
the irreducible minimum the strike
hazard; but 1t cannot, nor will not,
subscribe to the doctrine that any en-
ployer has property right in mems
labor power.
The case under consideration and
all other similar cases, must be pred
icated upon that doctrine and labor
emphatically states it's position as be-
ing in unalterable opposition.
Your executive council does not
charge nor believe that the state su-
preme court In its majority opinion
spoke anything but honestly accord
ing to its viewpoint. We have been
struggling for many years to impress
upon legal minds the distinction be-
tween human and property rights,
sometimes with disheartening, some
times encouraging results. Labor will
continue its efforts in this direction.
The present case is but another in
cident in the long struggle upon the
consciousness of the world at large
to impress this principle which Amer
lean labor has always contended for,
which goes to the bedrock of indus
trial relations between the employing
world and the army OF the employed.
Your executive council recommends
to this convention that 1t pledge IT'S
full moral support to the Typograph-
ical union of the Washington State
Federation of Labor in the further le-
gal contest involving what labor has
struggled for years to establish and
maintain as cardinal principle Of
human right.
The council further recommends
that the convention authorize an ap-
peal to the labor movement Of this
state for funds 10 assist the Typo
graphical union in defraying the legal
expenses contiguous to a full and
complete defense of this action.
