NEW ORLEANS GO

NEW ORLEANS, Feb 1S.-As
LIVERPOOL came in much better than
due particularly on the old crop
deliveries, the cotton market opened
AZ to as points higher on the near
positions and 80 points up on Oc-
tober. Liverpool appeared to be in
fluenced mainly by unfavorable
weather in the belt over Sunday,
as there We're no developments In
the dock strike which is still on.
After advancing four to eight points
additional right after the start, the
market eased off gradually on realiz-
ing, some hedge selling and sales
by short scalpers. The market then
ouietad down and was steady at
the end of the first half hour Of
trading with May at 1922 and July
$685.
Cotton ruled steady and compare
lively quiet following the moderate
recession from the early high at the
close of the first half hour of trad
ing Liverpool closed strong and
with one to two penny points of
the highest of the day there. New
York advices claimed that the mar
ket was heavily oversold and bore
evidence of the existence of a large
short interest. Manchester cabled
that there was Il much better de-
mand for cloths from India and
China. The resignation of Secretary
of the Navy DENLY and the decision
of the British labor cabinet to inter-
vene to end the dock strike were sus-
tanning features. In the half hour
before noon the market eased off on
renewed selling and made q new low
at 30.S3 for May, and 1897 for July,
but rallied again near noon when
May traded at 1922 and July at
3005.
The cotton market weakened
sharply after noon and established
nav lows for the day with May 30.06
ana July 1927. or 20 to II points
dov II from the ea$lier low. The
weaker tone was attributed to re-
newal of short selling and lack of
any sort of sustained bullish sup
port. The selling was also in some
measure attributed to a report of the
bureau Of markets claiming good
progress in crop preparations in the
western belt and prospective in
creased acreage in that section.

CHANGED HIS MIND?

Evidently President Coolidge has
changed his views since he vetoed the
bill giving wage increases to the pos
tai workers, Recently the officers of
the National Federation of Postoffce
Clerks interviewed the president on
the subject Of more pay for postal
workers, and came away from it to
announce that he would sign bill
for an increase of postal pay, pro-
vided it were scientifically drawn
and carried provisions for raising the
necessary revenue. AS New York
newspaper remarked, at is impossible
to avoid the conclusion that the presi.
dent has retreated from some of the
positions which he took two months
ago."
The presidents change of front in
dicates that he realizes the nation is
firm in its belief that the posta
workers are entitled to better pay
The people have not hesitated to de
clare their sympathy for the under
paid postal workers, and their stant
is at last making an impression OF
the president and his advisers.

LABOR DAY WILL GO
OVER BIG

From all reports of the different
committees making the final arrange
ments for the annual celebration of
Labor Day on the Butler county fair
grounds, Jack Scheaf, chairman, an
nounces that it is going over big.
The Labor Day committee met
Tuesday night Immediately after the
trades council meeting. All of the
committees were represented and re-
ported everything nearing completion
but much work was yet to be done.
The committee on the candy wheel
was instructed to secure the best
proposition possible for the same and
to report at the next meeting.
The committee contracted with the
Earl W. Kurtze Amusement Company
of Indianapolis, Ind, for "rube
quartet" of four comic men. This is
a high class act, and they will be or
the grounds all day with their singing
and dancing. This is an added free
attraction, and nobody should miss it
Especially the women mad children.
Wizards famous orchestra has
been engaged for the dancing and will
be heard on the large open air dane
| ing pavilion.
The country store committee re.
ports that they have SO many gooe
things donated that they are having
a hard time collecting them in. They
asked for volunteers to help then
gather in the goods. Several mem
bers with machines volunteered to sa
sist them.
The fireworks will be contracted fo,
this week, and it is likely that tn,
A. l.. Due Company will furnish th
same. Their program seems to b
the most favorable.
4 One of the big attractions will b
!. Buton's Air Circus. This act is ais
free, and will occur in the afternoo
and again in the evening. Sgt. c. c
Button is the pioneer daredevil an
liking of the air." He will be wit
the Labor Day celebration, and ther
5 will be no end to his spectacular ser
j sational exhibitions.
Several other attractions will b
booked before the outing. The con
mittee intends to give the publ
J their moneys worth this year.

RIDICULES ANTS

ridiculed the local citizens alliance
for it's opposition to an appropriation
for county memorials while spending
$4,000 year to maintain black

The business agent of the union
busters affected lively interest in
the workers, but Judge Buckley
showed that the policy of the citizens
alliance is in direct opposition to the
workers interests.
