report Of the Cities Service Co. attributes
the shrinkage in net earnings to s63,-
1861 900 for 1881 from s84,862,0 900 in the

Revenues from its utility properties
showed little change from the year be-
fore-S86, 784,000 in 1881 against S87,-
789, ,000-in l930-but sharp decrease
was reported in earnings from its oil

from S102, 181 900 in 1880, the highest
in the companys history.
The generalization Of the petroleum

Mr.. Doherty said that oil is now be-

ton over "a greater disposition in sew

Industrial and Utility Issues

the general list had shown good re-
slstence for over half the session.
The railroads made the best showing
all day and at intervals some of them
scored moderate gains, but the market

against Tor any rally to hold
Reports Of developments at the an
nual meeting of the United States Steel
Corporation were not such as to en-
courage buying of stocks. Commodities
were depressed, and no aid was obtain
able from that source. Whatever the
arguments for and against short SELL
ing, the inquiry into that subject at
Washington did nothing to relieve the
pessimiSm generated by the action Of
the market.
All this being true, liquidation today
was effected leisurely. Volume did not
increase on the decline and the market
seemed to be working itself into a posi-
tlon where a real rally could result.
The selling in the last hour carried
both American Can and United States
Steel down to new lows for the bear
market. American Telephone had been
weak from the start and at the end

|MUSSOL|N| SOLVES
COTTON DISPUTE
Labor Peace Signed in Italy
on Day Strike Started
/ in English Mills.
BY RALPH E. FORTE.

BY Cable to The Star.
! ROME, August 31.-With the object
lesson Of the Lancashire cotton strike
before him, Premier Benito Mussolini
after one month in office as minister
! of the Fascist trade union corporations,
/ has raced the 4-year-old Italian cotton
| dispute into solution in as many weeks
The Fascist press today stresses the
| inccntestable fact that on the very day
| the labor war was declared in England
with a strike of 100000 cotton workers
labor peace was signed in italy, with a
settlement involving 250,000 Italian
cotton spinners and weavers.
Even the main questions in dispute
were virtually the same. In both coun-
tries, commentators here point out, the
pay rolls and machine tenders Opera
tives controlling machines and looms)
| were subjects of issue. Ever-increasing
mechanical perfection made it always
more and more possible for one man to
control several looms at one time, 1t is
said; and for this in both countries the
men demanded corresponding increase
in pay.
Demand Is Conceded.
In Italy the settlement now reached
comedies this demand, other local fac
tors being equal, and all such questions
are to be solved by the local syndicate
For the pay cut Of from 10 to Is .per
cent over all reduction, according to
the category demanded by the indus
trialists, the italian settlement pro-
vides for 10 per cent cut, but only on
those salaries at least 10 per cent above
the minimum trade union wage. The
established minimum fiat rate, there
fore remains undiSturbed
With strikes and lockouts virtually
prohibited in this country, the italian
cotton spinning and allied industries
have suffered no setback during the
long progress Of the dispute. The
market remains unshaken, and while
the Lancashire strike is costing Great
Britain $6,000,000 every day, the Milan
agreement, according to the local press,
Is giving new impetus to italian trade.
Others here assert that the stock
quotation barometer already indicates
strengthening of the Italian cotton
share prices and a weakening of the
British. In choosing this psychological
moment to announce the Italian agree
ment, Mussolini once more appears as
born strategist.
British Background Contrast.
The cloudy background furnished by
the British deadlock makes the Italian
solution stand out all the clearer, both
as a practical and as moral victory,
1t Is said. 1t is called triumph at
home and abroad, and incidentally is
felt to be good publicity for the Fascist
idea. In Fascist Italy employers and
workers thresh out their differences in
collaboration with the Black Shirt gov
ernment, determined at all costs to pro-
tect the country from repercussions of
a particular trade dispute.

to the legislature in 1905.
Three years later he was can

That defeat generally was inter-

career.
In 1880, however, he staged a
comeback and was elected Gov
