BABSON SAYS CONDITIONS In

who is resting here at his winter
home after 10000 mile tour of

public as soon as his notes and
studies can be organized. Today he
discusses conditions in New Eng
land.
"Pcoplc in other sections of the

ian. "Statistics in the mean time

Frankly, when surveying New
England business conditions in a
careful and unbiased manner, the
labor situation is the one uncer-
tain factor. American Labor in
New England is all right. 1t is
earning good money, giving eff,
cient service, and enjoying good
living conditions. \ large group
of the foreign element in New
England, however, fears neither
God nor man. It seems to feel
that it has no responsibility TO
render fair service in exchange for
the wages it receives.
"Labor unions nave their place

ditions, but like every other good
thing, labor unions can be abused.
The solution. however, concluded
Mr.. Babson, 'depcndS not ON de

very doubtful if any substitute for
it will ever be found. The specific
property which makes 1t valuable
for coal mining is the fact that an
overload does not shatter the coal

that an overload of any dctonatins

900 kegs OF blasting powder. AS
each keg contains 25 lbs this

OF that vast amount OF explosives
has been the one basic work upon
which all our material progress.
all our luxury. all our ease Of COM

The making OF explosives Is
really the most fundamental in

have learned TO use them CONNER
cially has what Is known as mod
ern progress been possible.
In 1870. three years after dyna-
mite became available. something
less than 100000 tons OF iron
were produced. But iron and
steel began 10 be produced In
larger quantities for purposes that
we now regard as essential to our
happiness. for machinery. for ships.
for railroads. for bridges. and for
agricultural tools. So. ten years
later, in 1880. the production OF
! iron was over 100000 tons. After
1900. structural steel came into
use for Office buildings, hotels.
palaces, and steam and electric
! roads and equipment grew apace.
In 1920 the iron production had
reached 67.773.0O0 tons. And all
this iron must be smelted by coal.

In the same year the copper ore

POSTMASTER new
PROMISES QUICK
? PAPER DELIVERY
Aim to Get Newspapers
to Readers With Least
Delay

= AS a result Of several m3r'hs Of
investigation and study by experts
of the post office department, Pc .-
master General New today issued
the first definite, concise and com
plcte program that has ever been
put out by the department for the
mailing, transmission and delivery
of newspapers.
This order is mos. important. Il
is far reaching. IL gives the same
expedition to newspapers as is Sc-
corded to first class mail
The order is the result of pain.
stalking effort on the part Of 'h'
post office inspectors, under the di-
rection of First Assistant Posimas.
ter General Bartlett. Carefully
worded and minute instructions
have been issued to all employees
engaged in handling the mails, 50
that there will be no possibility
of misunderstanding the Importance
Of getting newspaper to the read
er with minimum Of DELAY.
The essence of the order is that
newspapers shall not be mixed
with parcesl post at any point in
their dispatch from the publishers
offices until their delivery to the
addresses. Papers shall be handled
by themselves, and kept in con. ant
transit, not being sent to railway
terminals to be rcworkcd. In other
words, they are to be handled IN
the same manner as first class mail.
No Preference Shown
An important feature of the or
der is that no publication shall be
given any less efficient or less OK
peditious treatment than Mt pre-
sent. That means that publications
other thans newspapers will not
suffer one iota from this progressive
innovation, made by thc post office
department.
Another striking feature Of the
order is the elimination of sacks OF
mail which are known to the bust
ness world as "miXed mail. Sacks
of mixed mail some times contain
letters, papers, and parcels post
and often times, the entire con
tents were treated as parcels post.
This order will prevent a recurrence
of that condition.
Another important feature of the
order is that postmastcrs are re
quircd to notify publishers in each
instance when they do not hit the
dispatch which they advertise to
hit; also to notify publishers Whea
they are sending to wrong al,
dresses and 10 the addresses OF
deceased persons. Publishers will
also be notified when they are put
ting up their mail in an incorrect
manner.
Under the new system, news
papers will be made up in separate
sacks plainly labeled with the word
newspapers. If there are only a
few copies of newspapers at the
point of dispatch, they will be
placed in pouches with first class
mail or in separate sacks, even
though the sacks are only partially
filled.

Water Power Invaluable
"This means that those who are
dependent wholly upon steam, not
only are handicapped by constant
" increasing power expense, but
they are always subject TO shut
down due to labor disturbances.
Sections of the country which are
blessed with water power, however,
are largely free from these two
handicaps. There is no reason why
hydraulic horse power should cost
any more 80 years from today
than il costs today. Moreover, wa
ter powers do not strike for high

NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 24.-The cot ton market was a pre-bnreau affair to- day with light trading and rather a narrow range of fluctuations. Evening up of commitments in advance of the government reports due tomorrow fur nished practically all the business done, although at one time there was some covering by belated October shorts. AL though cable news was going and frost in the cotton belt reached proportions the market was not responsive to fa- vorable influence, being dominated by fear that the government will show a larger crop forecast and heavy ginning totals. ...
 At. the start prices were 8 to 10 points up on better cables than expected and the showing of heavy to killing frosts on the weather map. December ad- vanced to 22.79c and January to 22.SSc, which proved to be the high points of the session. October rallied to 22.95c on covering by belated shorts in that month, which goes out at noon tomor- row. The market eased off gradually during the day. The close showed net losses for the day, of 20 to 32 points.
 Today being last notice day for Oc- tober deliveries in the northern market much interest attached to the number patches they totalled 2,400..
 The market had a slight rally around noon on the larger mill takings than looked for, the total reaching 354,O00 bales, against 327,00O last year. Fall River reported sales for the week of 40 o,0O0 pieces of print cloth, against 50,- 900 the preceding week. Exports totaled 2S, ,943 bales for the day and 116, ,155 for the week.

GRAINS UNDERGO
 SHARP SETBACK
Decline Due To Closing Out Big Spread Trades
 In Wheat

CHICAGO, Oct. 24.-Aill grain prices underwent sharp setback here today, owing to the closing out of big spread trades in wheat between Liverpool and Chicago and to announcement of the first arrival of new corn here this sea- son. The wheat market here closed heavy, 1M to 3%c'net lower;; December. s1 .41% @1.41M, and May, S1.4s@1.46h, with corn, SN to S7sc down; oats 2h to Skc off, and provisions varying from unchanged figures to sc decline.
 Persistent selling here by house with foreign connections was notable feature of the day In the wheat pit. This selling came mostly at a time when the buying power was thin, and did good deal to bring about liQuidating sales of weakly held-lines of wheat. Many standing orders to stop losses at various definite limits were forced into operation and the market dropped about II cents under the recent high point for the December delivery.
 virtually the days lowest prices were ruling when business ended. Bearish sentiment which prevailed was party due to further rains in Argentina tend ing to improve the crop outlook there: Reports were also at hand telling of beneficial rains in Australia. A break of about cents in the rye market here had an additional depressing influence on wheat values. It was estimated that export buying of wheat today, largely for deferred shipment, amounted to more than 100000 bushels.
 Corn and oat weakness was chiefly the result of sympathy with wheat weaknes. Fine weather for condition ing the new corn crop was likewise an evident bearish factor.
 Export sales of boo,ooo bushels of corn made little or no impression.
 Provisions were responsible t9 the downward tilt of grain. ..t..t
