have been SUFFICIENT to make an unde-
sired overplus, In the line of Judge
Gary's comment.
On the other hand, as can be noted
from the trend Of interest rates. the
same principle seems to be working
there. Loans to brokers haven't come
down except in small degree from the
breath-taking totals reached this year,
but call money rates have been cut
half way down from their peaks in
stanter. The Federal Reserve Board
will have the calculation out Thurs
day as to what the recent movements
have meant, and few people expect
that loans will show great declines.
Nevertheless, q few score millions have
been released. and that is entirely suf-
flcient to, affect the return rates on
bility is still being lent.
While labor unions have not had the
most fortunate of records in operating
banks, and the number of such in
situations so controlled Is markedly
less now than it was a few years ago
there is a banking house in Washington
the Mount Vernon Savings Bank
which is So per cent owned by the Ma
chinists' Union and is now considering
the ACCESSIBILITY Of going into branch
banking. w. NJ Johnston, one of the
vice presidents, who represents the
union in its affairs, in discussing Its
prosperous history, cited one point OF
significance built out of its experience
TT certainly hasn't been the dispo-
sition of union-owned banks to lend
money to union members that has &C.
casioned the financial difficulties which
a few such enterprises have met" he
said. We've had, of course, our losses
in lending money during the last few
years, though not to a degree that isn't
ordinary In good banking. But 1t is a
fact that we have made some thou
sands of loans to individuals, sometimes
with an indorser, but chiefly on the
showing that they are members in good
standing in labor organizations, with a
good record of dues paying.
Now, we have never had single
loss in five years on loan OF that
class Every loss we have had has come
in the commercial field and has been
of the nature that any commercial
bank must expect. We think that Is Q
pretty good record"

in economic thinking during the last
decade
In the old days if the laboring man
had no job-well, it was just too bad
Now, a laboring man out of a job
means less money with which to pur-
chase goods. His predicament has
become q social problem, too.
Prof. Tugwell of Columbia University
has stated that wage earners consti-
tute Sc per cent of all the buyers of
goods. In The old days industry To-
duction. But production Is only half
the picture. It is absolutely dependent
on market and consumers. Consumers
credit is really labor credit.

NEW YORK COTTON.

NEW YORK, october % (P).--Cotton

active covering by shorts, which was
evidently Influenced by the Federal
Farm Boards statement and relatively
steady Liverpool cables.
December sold up. TO 1910 and
March to 1879 on this initial buying
movement, making net advances OF
about 80 to 80 points on the active
positions. Southern hedging and realiz-
ing seemed to supply buyers around
these figures and the volume of BUSH
ness tapered off somewhat, but the buy
ing continued and realizing sales were
absorbed on reactions of 5 or 10 points
during the first half-hour.
Liverpool cables said the market there
had been influenced by covering and
general buying on the Farm Board

INDUSTRIAL GAINS
ARE DUE TO EDISON
Inventor of Incandescent
Lamp Laid Foundations
for Many Fortunes.
BY JOHN r. SINCLAIR.
pecial Dispatch to The star,

Special DlSpdtCn 10 4ne 6tar.
NEW YORK, October 22.-Edison, q
newsboy ION his own" at the age Of IL,
was honored last night in nearly every
great city of the world where the cleo
trio light is known.
Leningrad, in far-away Russia. cele-
brsted. So did Constantinople and Rio
de Janeiro. Canton, China, joined in
doing honor to the worlds greatest in
ventor Toxic, Japan, too. 1t is doubt
full If any human being ever lived TO see
such tribute paid to him during his life.
Caesar never did, nor Napoleon, nor
Abraham Lincoln, but Thomas A. Edi-
son has. Without the help of Edison
the vast industrial expansion of the last
so years would have been impossible.
Billions OF dollars have poured into
the electrical industry since he invented
the electric light so years ago. One in
vention like that would have been
enough for the ordinary individual-"set
for life" but not for Edison. Even be-
fore that he had. in cooperation with
FRANK L. Pope, invented the Universal
stock ticker, still used for quoting stocks
on the market.
Other millions of dollars were turned
into the sale of typewriters after he as
sisted Sholes in building the first one
nine years before electric light was in
vented.
Edison invented the carbon telephone
receiver. The Edison monograph pre-
coded the tncandescent lamp by two
years. Another big industry got under
way.
But the electrical age was really
ushered in with the electric lamp. Edi-
son set to work, feverishly, to harness
electricity to other things. He worked
out life-size electric railway at Menlo
Park 48 years ago. The railroads only
now are beginning to use 1t. 1t has tte-
mendous possibilities.
He discovered the motion picture
camera in 1891. The amusement in
dustry was revolutioni2ed. Then in 1912
he brought out the talking motion pic
ture. He was busy travelling the dizzy
heights.
These achievements are outstanding.
He has assisted and invented hundreds
! of other appliances which have vastly
helped industry and business.
Edison had many hardships. At times
| he had no money. Even now he is q
comparatively poor man. But he had q
few loyal friends who backed him. SO
he kept on.
Today, at 80, the entire business, edu-
cational and scientific world stops to
pay tribute to this living man, whose
name will be linked in the ages to come
with the half dozen great benefactors
Of the human race.
Four years ago Barron's Weekly
offered prizes for the best suggestion
received for investing 100000 for a
widow and two small children.
A. We're Shaw did not win the prize,
4 but he suggested a list Of bonds and
common stocks which he considered
desirable for investment at that time.
They totaled 8eS, 936--almost evenly di-
Hded between bonds and common
stocks. The ancome9 too Wa about
