NEW YORK, Jan. 1s.-Cables this morning were better than due on pri- vate dispatches reporting rather bet ter feeling in financial circles abroad. There is expected to be a railroad strike in Great Britain beginning to- morrow night, but the general opinion ig that with the present dispute among the labor leaders, the strike will not prove serious. Here, the market was steady at the ppening and subsequently advanced about a cent a pound above yesterdays low level. There seemed to Ee little fresh liquidation and better spot demand is reported from the south.
 Business here was not particularly active, but the market displayed a very strong undertone. Rumors of a large ginning report for the current period were ignored. As we have pointed out before, the supply of cotton available this season Is so small that prices re- cover rather easily. from the sudden declines.

NEW YORK. Jan. 1s--The reaction ary feeling engendered in yesterdays late .trs ding was e ntinued this :1orn- ing under better English cables than the volume of sbusincss which was put through yesterdAy in Worth street. Dill igent inquiry rsveals the fs ct thet the volume was large only by ccmDarison with the recent inactivity, and the sales were distinctly fsmall and not enough to revive hope for a spread of demand hoped, for by the bulls. Since drastic the knowiedse of fairly g5od busf- ness being done in Worth street even by second hands and at an unsatisfac- tory price was enough to cause short covering, which was attended by some fairly good trade buying. :,
 Even though lower prices may follow the unsatisfactory goods situation, the descent would be interrupted by sharp and violent upturns, as the situation is by no means devoid of all buliish fea- lures, and 1t is too early to say that a response to these influences will not again take place. On advances brought about by an oversoid condition, how ever, and without a healthy movement of goods to the consumer, we believe advances can be used for sales accept ing moderate profits and in like manner to take advantage of the sharp breaks for purchases.
 NEW ORLEANS, La, Jan. 1s.-- Cotton was stronger today and the buying was ample to absorb the selling and maintain the rallies. There .was some selling at the start on predic- tion of ginning 9,900000, or about 10o,- 0C0 for the period, versus 1000 last year, but trade and others took the of feriags so readily it soon dampened the hrdor of the sellers. About this time. good spot and mill news began to come in and buying was stimulated. The representative of a New Orleans house now in the Carolinas sent in a wire saying he could find no evidence of curtaiiment there, and mills in fm- portant sections of Georgia, were ie- ported running day and night. It is also claimed that Carolina mills have yet to call 600,0O0 bales. News from goods sources said the secretary of ag- riculture has abandoned report on farmers intent to plant owing to south eTn opposition, and cables reported the probability of withdrawing the strike order on the English railways. Some wires also claimed that big operator, who has been credited with much of the recent selling.sds now long of cot- ton in New York. Taken all in all, 1t was q good day for those bullishiy Inclined. and confidence of better things to come next week is growing on account Of the belief that there is kets which may b4forced to cover as of the news.--Fenner & Beane.s

FOSTER WINS IRON GRIP in FAKE
FARMER LABOR" CONVENTION

By international Labor News Service.
ST. PAUL, Mimi, June 26.-Foster
wins everything he came here to get.
He gets a national organization, in
that he controls absolutely the cam
paign committee and through papers
and organizations in states not repre-
sented here is in position to hold that
control.
Affairs Of the party are to be run
through an executive committee of
five. This Foster will control. He
did his work through Mahoney, as
many told Mahoney he would do.
Mahoney was a most pusilanimous
sister, suggesting nothing as much as
a bird charmed by a snake, who,
knowing its danger, yet makes no eff
fort to escape the charmer. Appa-
rently that was his sole idea of his
various jobs here.
Foster won through the old game
Of placing trained convention hounds
against unorganized amateurs.

COUNCIL HAS
FEAST OF SHORTCAKE

Following the regular meeting Fri
day night in the Council hall the
Central Labor Council held a straw
berry festival all its own with the
chief interest of a large crowd of
delegates centered around the sea
sons chief confection, the strawberry
shortcalxe.
Another object Of the occasion was
the dedicating Of the newly con-
structed collapsibIe tables, designed
and built by the carpenter members
of the Council. After being thor
oughly tested with an oversize load
of sandwiches and shortcake they
were pronounced by all present to be
uncollapsible save when touched on
the collapsible spot-for technical ex-

That the succulence of the enticing

all, even to twice and half by some,
plus q dozen sandwiches. For expla-
nation of this riddle see eSandy."

Dawes names Samuel Gompers,
president Of the American Federation
of Labor; John H. Walker, president,
and Victor A. Olander, secretary, of
the Illinois State Federation of La
Dor, as the kind of labor leaders who
"fear the encroachment" of such laws
as Dawes and his so-called Minute
Men want enacted.
These three men are named, as will
be seen, as the kind who are possessed
of the privilege to assault and kill
American citizens" who "do not rep
resent honest labor" and who Gin
timidate cowardly politicians"
This is Dawes sepaking = Dawes
who says these things-Dawes who
gained fame by trying to make a
congressional committee think he was
a rough customer with his "Hell n
Maria"
Dawes boasts that his union hating
organization "saved two injunction
iudges" in Chicago, and goes on to
make the ridiculous claim "that these
iniunctions are required to be issued
bv law" A candidate for vice presi-
dent ought to know better. Injunc-
tions are issued at the pleasure of
Judges. They are not required by
law. Some judges, however, think
that any kind of an injunction against

LONGER WORK DAY CHIEF
CAUSE OF FAILURE OF
NEGOTIATIONS
Appeal Made to Business Men For
SUPPORT to Maintain Present
Business Hours

An active campaign against the
barber shop located in the new Morck
hotel was begun Thursday by the
Aberdeen BARRIERS union No. 81. Ne
gotiations covering many weeks have
not succeeded in convincing Trapp &
Rousey, proprietors of the shop, that
they should maintain union conditions.
The chief contention is the opening
and closing hours. The schedule ad-
hered to by all union shops on the
Harbor calls for opening at nine in
the morning and closing at seven in
the evening, with a closed shop on
Sundays. The hotel shop claims it
necessary to operate from seven in
the morning to nine at night and the
same for holidays.
In a handbill addressed to the
business men Of the city the BARRIERS
set forth their reasons why the sup
port of the merchants and business
men should be given them. In this
circular they say:
'Mr. Business Man: Are you will
ing to extend the same just and
AAohOA0HAC bICNbluCuS 70 InG OuAOH
BARRIERS that you would expect Of
them should their moral support be
desired to prevent the demoralization
of your. business?
"When you, the business men Of
Aberdeen, declared for a six o'clock
closing custom the BARRIERS and 9TH
er union bodies heartily endorsed your
stand. We proudly claim some Of the
honor due the success which enables
you to enjoy these better business
conditions, and which gives you more
time to spend ct home, or in the great
out-of-doors, with your families.
In view Of these facts we. the
Union BARRIERS Of Aberdeen, do not
believe that you can patronize con-
scientiously barber shop that is not
only attempting to lengthen business
hours but flagrantly direspects our
customs and traditions by operating
on holidays holidays which our
spirit of Americanism compels us to
hold in reverence.
"Mr. Businessman, we feel that you
share these sentiments, because you
have even shorter hours than we ex-
pect and obsrve our national holidays
as we, your fellow citizens, desire to
observe them"

He, Manley and Ruthenberg were
the whole thing.
John J. Leary, Jr, correspondent
for the New York World, who has
attended innumerable international
unions, A. F. Of L., and state labor
conventions, said today, 81 saw but
three men in the convention who |
ever heard Of as labor men. These
three were Alexander Howatt and
two professional hell raisers from
Illinois who had figured in every row
in the miners union in recent years.
Representatives of farmers jour-
nails, men of wide acquaintance, say
there are no farmers here except city
farmers like John c. Kennedy, ex-
Chicago Socialist alderman, and Wal
ter Thomas Mills of California, who
has been radical since '72 and grown
wealthy at it.

The day is coming, il is stated
when the worker will use his or
ganization as q service institu-

company, his bank, his merchant,

The compulsory feature of the
insurance plan was opposed at
first but this feeling has been
swept aside by the success Off
cials predicted. The plan has
been in operation two years.
Each member must carry =
$1,000 policy. The cost is 80 cents

brotherhood are eligible for this
insurance.
The insurance is operated by
the Electrical Workers benefit
association, composed of dele
gates elected by the local lodges
Of electrical workers.
The constitution of the bene-
fit association limits the amount
fr expense to five cents out of
each monthly payment made by
members and to the admission
fees from new members. The
first years cost of $4,000 was
the highest, because of attorneys
