LABOR MADE GAINS IN
 MANY STATES IN 1924 BUT GOT LITTLE FROM CONGRESS
Summary of Legislation Passed or Prevented Shows That Progress Was Made in Insur- ance Laws Also.

Labor made substantial gains in the 1924 output of protective legislation in several states but re- ceived scant consideration at the hands of Congress, according to a statement issued by the American Association for Labor Legislation.
 Progress is noted particularly in the broadening and iberalizing of workmen's accident insurance laws, no less than seven of the eleven states that held legislative sessions this year having i'm proved their acts.
 Adoption by Utah of a new and mo- del legal safety code for coal mines, in cluding use of rock dust to prevent dis asters- due to coal dust explosions, Is cited by the Association as a notable advance.
 "Important extensions of the scope and benefits of accident compensation laws," says Thomas L. Chadbourre, President of the Association, "were .'e- cured in New York, Massachusetts, New Jersey Maryland, Kentucky, and Virginia The outstanding gain of the year in compensation legislation is +te reduction of the non-compensated waiting period in the New York law from fourteen to seven days, whi n brings 25,0O0 additional injured workers yearly within the protection of the law and adds million and a half dollars yearly to the benefits payable to indlls- trial cripples.
 1.-TWO states will vote i'll November proposed by initiative petition. In Ore gon the proposed law calls for com under the state fund. In Missouri, the only state of industrial importance not having compensation legislation, the initiated workmen's compensation law provides for insurance in an exclusive state fund.
 As result of the coal dust explosion in Castle Gate in which l72 miners were killed" he continues, "Utaa ln- dustrial commission, with the coopera- ton of all the coal operators and the 1CdCld OllA@AoAS, Pl1t AAtO SAA@Nh Q sweeping and enlightened coal mine safety code which may we'll point the way to action by the other coal mining states. The new legal regulations re- quire use of rock dust as an effective preventive o9---al dust explosions.
 Industrial cripples in the various states who are being helped back to self-sustaining occupations through fed eral state rehabilitation have been hard hit because a bill to continue fedora cooperation was delayed in Congress until, when it did pass, it was too late for the passage of the necessary appro. priations called for in the bill

and tear him away. But tn ever, size Of Harry Gloster wac enough to make 0ainor doubiy thoughtful.
 So, instead Of acting on the first rash impulse. he stepped back to consider the situation again. Had itI been the first time that Nell had stepped from the conventional path. passion might have carried him away, but he had watched her flirting a dozen times. and thls was simply the old story retold. he de, cided, It would not do to make him self ridiculous before the crowd.
 Again, he was by no means sure how far he could go with Nell Whether she was in love with him or with his fathers ranch he had never been quite able to make up hls mind. On occasion he presumed on the rights Of being her nance, but thote occasions were few and far between.
 So far. so good. But if he tempt. cd her again. might she not fling away from him and wreck all his hopes with a single nery sentenee7 He knew her well enough to feel the danger. And this, plus tho phyb icsl dimensions of Harry, Gloster. made him pause to consider.
 Tn another moment he was glad that he had delayed. for Gloster was tagged by half a dozen other men. and yet still went serenely on and showed not the slightest in. tentlon of abandoning his partner. It was not Gainor alone who had been insulted. but q whole group of men, and every one of them was on Are with rage. Moreover. they were not fellows to lis down under such an insult.
 In fact, they were such men that he could not imagine what had let Nell permit her partner to offend them.
 Something most extraordinary must have happened to sweep Nell of her feet in such . fashion Nell was transformed and radiant in the arms of his big man. She leaned back in them and looked up to him with laughter on her lips.
 But Gainor took no nasty steps It was not until he saw the couple swing off tho dance floor at the end of the hall and disappear through the door that he began to act on the offensive.

COTTON QUOTATIONS
IN SLIGHT UPTURN
Census Report on Consumption
Proves Help to Move for
Higher Prices.
By the Associated Press.

NEW YORK. November 14.-An
met a great deal of realizing and
considerable hedge selling in the
cotton market today. 1t was abb
sorbed by covering or fresh buying
on a decline from 24.9s to 24.8o for
January, however. and the market
soon turned firmer on continued buy
ing the price of that month ad-
vancing to 25.o2 by the end of the
first hour. or "a points net higher
and into new high ground for the
movement.
The census report, showing home
consumption of 532,629 bales for Oc-
tober, compared with 435,216 for Sep
tember, was a factor on the advance,
which also was promoted by firm
late cables from Liverpool and re-
ports that sales Of print cloths in
the Fall River market had aggre-
gated 100000 pieces for the week.
New Orleans Quotations.
NEW ORLEANS, November IA
The cotton market had quite firm
opening, owing to Liverpool cables
proving much better than due. First
trades showed gains of 20 to %
points and right after the call prices
made further gains on the figures or
domestic consumption for october by
the Census Bureau, the total being
5326 bales of lint cotton. against
436,216 in September and 54S.260 in
October last year. This was re-
traded UP to 24.s4, January to 24.S9
and March to 25.15. or 90 to 30 points
above the close of yesterday. Fall
River estimated sales for the week
at 100000 pieces OF cloth, against
20, 900 last week.

FURTHER ADVANCE
IN WHEAT MARKET
UnfavorabIe Crop Reports
From Argentina Lead to
Heavy Buying Here.
Ry the Associated Press.


CHICAGO, November 14.-Increas-
ingly unfavorable crop reports from
Argentina led to a decided rally In
wheat prices today after a declining
tendency at the outset. Steadiness
of the Liverpool market, together
with an advance in sterling eX
change, counted also as a strengthen
ing factor here. The early weakness
was ascribed chiefly to profittaking
sales and to a temporary pause in
new buying. Opening quotations,
which ranged from 4 decline to
q gains, December 1.54ts to 1.55
and May 1.62 to 1921, were followed
by moderate general sag, and then
by a sharp upturn to well above yes
terday's finish.
Corn and oats were governed by
the action Of wheat. After opening
at Il lower to X advance, May LIS II
to 1.19, the corn market underwent
a setback all around, but later scored
material gains.
Oats started unchanged to 1s off,
May 584 to SO, eased r. little more
