SOCIALISM Is ISSUE
Bitter Campaign Is Promised Before
Next General Election

SYDNEY. y. s. w. May "a
Queensland, which has had a labor
government for eight years, has been
thrown. without shadow of warm
ing. into what promises to be the
bitterest campaign in it's history by
the action of Premier Theodore in
calling a general election.
The primo minister's latest move
was complete surprise to his sup
porters and opponents, as the cleo
tions would not have been due until
October in the ordinary course Of
events. '7
Among the reasons which have
been advanced for his action by polit-
ical observers Is that he has found
that the strenuous negotiations which
have been in progress to establish
unity in the opposition are not COM
pleted yet. Increased unemployment
between now and October is newt
able. and the labor party would stand
a better chance OF success now than
in the autumn. other observers say.
Events Immediately succeeding the
Premier's announcement make 1t
seem that the election will be fought
along the issue of socialism against
a mt socialism

Standard Numbers Cut.
Some of the standard numbers of
cotton yarn have been redced in price
again. Among the southern carded
weaving yarns, EOS and 30s, single
and two-fly skiens and warps, are
weakest. This is explained as due
to the large proportions of these
counts produced, which tends toward
rapid accumulation in distributing
channels whenever demand is dull, as
it has been for some weeks back.
Twenties appear to be weakeHthan
30s. Twenties, single skeins, are gen.
eraly quoted in Philadelphia, inor-
binary grades. at around "A cents,
but occasionally under this figure,
while 20s warps are quoted at from
A to 43 cents, or about on the same
basis as EOS two-fly skeins. Spin
ners want 46 cents for 20 two-ply
warps, but are unable to get this
price and almost daily small orders
for prompt delivery are being &C.
cepted by the southern mills at As
cents.
The price range on 30s single and
ply skeins and warps has narrowed
down to "a to SO cents. Here, again.
the large majority of the spinners
want Sc cents for the 30s two-ply
warps, but cannot get it, SO they are
letting go of small lots at around
the spinners' attitude on these counts
is that some of the mills now ac>
cepting business at reduced prices
are among those too far sold ahead
to take additional orders two or three
weeks ago, when prices were about
cents higher than they are now.
Southern carded knitting yarns
show the wear and tear most in the
case Of the coarse hosiery yarns, the
prices of which again have been cut
about cent pound, bringing los
frame spun cones down to a basis
of around 80 cents. The underwear
numbers have been shaded half a
cent.
The Price Situation.
The following chart explains the
price situation.
With practically no inquiry by mill
men, the extra staple cotton markets
continue inactive. Only few sales
of small lots have been reported here
and there to take care of special
orders on the books of the mills.
Prices in general are at low ebb,
though a few of the brokers are
holding black, firm in the belief that
there will be a recovery before the
new crop in reported in the market.
The cotton futures market has I'M
settled conditions to such an extent
that many of the brokers are refrain
ing from offering their holdings on
an unwilling market, though there
are a number who appear to be ready
to accept any reasonable offer rather
than carry over their old crop offer
ings. Some exceptionally low price
sales have been recorded in inch and
five-sixteenth and inch and three
sixteenths.
Prices generally on extra staple
cotton, strict middiing in grade and
color, and classed as to a very ex-
acting standard of stapling, fob.
New Bedford, are as follows:
n inch. 29@30c; 1 316-inch,
301a @311ac; II Inch. 33Q34c; l 5-16-
inch, 351ac upward.

The total receipts for capital
stock for the year ending May 31st
were $2,020,466.06, which was
slightly in excess of the amount col
lected in the prior year. The stag
gering figure of over two billion and
half million dollars represents the
actual value as of June 80, 1922 of
the capital stock Of 1859 corpora
tions that made returns and paid
tax. Several corporations paid capt.
tai stock tax of over $10O,0O0.00.
The capital stock tax blanks have
been mailed to all corporations. ANY
corporation which fails to make a

liable to a penalty of 100000. In
the case of failure to file a return
on time penalty of $3.50 of the

We CELEBRATED OUR
NATIONAL BIRTHDAY.
From Early Morning Until Late at Night
the Day Was Full of Vim and Enthusiasm.

plug" were the main attraction in
the comic section and a hand made
automobile by Jack Meittunen, Jr.
shared honors with the race horse.
VIM. Gallagher read the Declara-
ton of Independence and G. G..
Curtis made the address of the day.
Mr.. Curtis spoke on the significance
of the day to the American people
and his remarks were attentively
listened to. A program of patriotic
music by the band also was given.
The race and sport program fol-
lowed.
Several booths had been erected
by the Legion and Auxiliary which
did a flourishing business all day
and along into the night. Races
of all kinds were participated in by
the younger generation and several
also were held for the older cnes.
The ball game at 8 o'clock took
the. crowd to Athletic Field. Bull
letins of the Dempsey-Gibbons fight
were read at the grounds and later
on the streets.
The fireworks display on the hill
south of the ball park was a pleas
ing spectacle and lasted for fully an
hour. After the fireworks there
came the grand ball at the Audit
orium given by the Auxiliary. Han
sons Orchestra furnished the music
for this occasion and the ball was
largely attended.
One of the pleasing features of
the day was the excellent music
furnished by the Community Band,
the newly organized local institution,
under the dictatorship of Prof.
Reinshagen. With less than two
months practice this organization
rendered fine selections and received
merited applause.
The celebration was staged by the
Legion and members of
The. Legion Auxiliary and was con-
sidered equal to anything ever put
On here. Everything passed off with
percision and success.

COOPERATING TO AID
THE DISABLED VETERANS

The U. S. Veterans Bureau main
tains in its organization section
devoted to cooperation. This is to
coordinate and direct the activities
of every organization that is serv-
ing the welfare of the ex-service
men. In this way the maximum of
efficiency is secured.
There are over a thousand "ser-
vice officers" in the posts of the
American Legion, the Disabled
American Veterans of the World
War, the Veterans of Foreign Wars,
and the World War Veterans, whose
duty it is to present to the U. S. Vet
Grams Bureau all claims of ex-ser-
vice men as to medical care and
treatment, disqualification, insur-
ance, compensation, vocational train
ing, reimbursement and similar mat
ters. They assist the men in pre-
pairing the necessary application
papers and in gathering evidence to
support their claims. The closest
cooperative relations are maintain
ed with Chambers of Commerce,
the Red Cross, Rotary, Kiwanis and
Lions Clubs and civic organizations.
The cooperation section CT the
Veterans Bureau has corps of
hospital contact workers who visit
all hospitals where the government
is caring for sick or disabled sold
iers. The large hospitals are visit
ed daily, and the smaller ones as
often as practicable to assist the ex-
service men in preparing or adj
vancing their claims. This service
extends to the hospitals for the in
sane and the prisons.
In the District and Sub-District,
representatives of the cooperation
section meet claimants and do
everything possible to promote
their interests, and keep them in
formed as to the progress of their
cases.
Each of the four states in the
tenth district has from four to ten
travelling field men who instruct and
assist the "service officers, and also
handle claims of individual claim
ants.
During April the cooperation
section interviewed 11041 men in
the Office, an average of 424 day.
This does not include the many in
terviews made by the field men.
Probably no other branch of the
federal government maintains such
a widespread and decentralized or
ganization or brings its benefits so
near to the mans home as does the
Veterans Bureau.

Sundays game, this was not the
case as our fellows through errors
and bum base running forfeited all
chances of winning, losing fine
contest by one score. A fair sized
crowd witnessed Sundays game but
many were kept away by the threat
ening storm.
The game on the Fourth with the
West Duluth Cubs was what was
termed in mechanical parlance as a
one cylinder game, only one side Of
the engine working fairly well.
The visiting pitcher did fairly we'll
against our strong stickers but the
support accorded him was altogether
too weak. Some excellent playing
was done on the part of Ely and the
visitors on one occasion also showed
squirt but it lasted altogether too
short. Just before the game 100
yard foot race was staged on the
grounds between two fast ones on
the Duluth team and two of the Ely
boys. Chinn and Hoefer lined up
for Ely and streaked the 100 yards
in rather quick time hitting the
tape in the order named.
The crowd at the game on the
Fourth was the largest seen here in
years at ball game and put us in
mind of the old games when Ely and
Winton battled for supremacy. A
fine feature of the Wednesday came
was the excellent music furnished
between innings by the new Com
Band.
The police force was kept on the
jump keeping just ahead of the
ticket dodgers who tried in every
possible way to see the games with
out donating their admission.
The box scores of the games
showed up as follows:
