Heavy buying Of the rubber and mo-

NEW YORK, n. Y, Jan. 4, Up
The cotton market opened steady at
an advance of one to five points on
covering and trade buying, promoted
by relatively steady Liverpool cables
but quickly weakened under a re-
newal of liquidation, southern and
local selling.
Prices broke quite sharply, March
selling off to 1891 and July to 1888,

The decline was checked by con-
tinued trade buying and covering
but the market was within 8 or 10
points of the lowest at the end of
the first hour.
The volume Of business tapered
off after the early decline and the
market rallied on covering. Trade
buyers however, showed little dis
position to follow up the advances,
and after selling up to 1910 for
March and 1903 for July, or within

eTdeal Candidates" Are The Bunk Says Rogers

Smith and Hoover both Carry On The Glorious Traditions Of Our Party because they're in favor of Motherhood, Virtue. the Constitu- ton and anything else that seems to call for word of praise, including the Farmer.
 As a matter of fact both Candi- dates were showed down the Politi- clans throats, And it was painful swallowing. l claim both these Can didates were nominated not because they were the Ideal Choices but be- cause they were vote-getfers. They are both able, fine men but they wasn't chosen on that account.
 T heard the Republicans say lot about Hoover (before he was nomi- nated) that they wouldent like to have repeated now. And a lot of prominent Democrats have certainly changed their opinions about Al since they found it was Smith or nothing.
 "So the old Gag you're hearing now that both men were put where they are by practically unanimous indorsement and approval of the whole party is the bunk. Half of each party is not crazy about their candidate. One is Dry but would

WASHINGTON, Sept. 20.-ITer- bert c. Hoover has turned to the consideration of his second pre- pared address in his campaign. He has before him many pressing invitations to extend his program of four prepared speeches which he set for himself upon his re- turn here from making his ac- ceptance speech in California.

 Chewing Cum. n ent refuse Wet votes and the other is a Wet with Dry vote complex. "so the Vets in Pennsylvania will vote for Dry Hoover, because he's a Republican, and the Drys in Texas will vote for wet Smith because he is a Democrat.
 And they won't vote the way they do because they approve the partys platform, or the party's Candidate, but because that's the way their Grandfather voted when Lincoln ran against Douglas. So the old bunk goes merrily on."

SICMAN'S THUGS

shops by the right wing Sigman
company union, yesterday collected
their real due from the workers in
the dress-manufacturing shop of
Bellard Cloak Co., 130 W. 25th st.

the door was suddenly pushed open

When one of the pressers an
swered the thugs gruff demands
for money with the statement that
he did not intend to pay any more
dues to the Sigman union, one of
the strong-ar1n men suddenly pulled
knife. This was signal for the
immediate rising of the other work
ers from their machines to the de-
fense of their fellow-worker. The
arguments presented by the work
ers against dues payments did not
subside until after police came and

CALL FURRIERS
TO BLOCK MEET
Workers in All Shops
Get Appeal

All furriers working on West
9th st. in the shops OF the Asso-
ciated Fur Manufacturers, as well as
those in shops OF the left wing New
York Joint Board, are urged by the
union to come to a block meeting in
its headquarters, II E. 22nd St.
Thursday evening Immediately after
work.
This is the second of series OF
meetings called for those employed
on individual blocks in the fur man
ufacturing district as part of the
Joint Boards drive to unionize the
trade and thereby give the final
death-blow to the disintegrated
right wing Joint Council of the A.
F. of L.
The first of these meetings called,
instead of being merely a meeting
of workers in a particular indus
trial section, developed into a
mighty demonstration in support to
the left wing organization drive.
Workers quit promptly at o'clock
and marched to the union building
en- masse.
The statement issued by the
union calling the meeting pays par
ticular attention to the workers
employed in the Associated shops,
the owners of which are particularly
vicious in their sweat shop exploita-
tion, because they are ostensibly
controlled by the Joint Council.
These, as well as workers en-
ployed in the open shops (Which
have greatly increased since the A.
F. of L. began their union destruc-
tion) are called upon to destroy
their membership cards of the scab
union and sign up with the Joint
Board. Hundreds of workers at the
last meeting demonstratively tore
up their right wing cards as they
stood before the windows signing
up.

addition to the program was the
