GOST OF LIVING
Recent Demand Made by East
ern Fireman Is a Sermon
in Economics.
By B, C. FORBES.
NEW YORK. May 9.—We are all be
coming too genteel for this work a day
world. We hate to soil our hands. "Man
nsl labor is despised. Unless we can
near collar and coat at our work we want
to change our job. If we have to toil more
than eight hours in the 24 we feel badly
treated. Honest sweat is no longer con
sidered respectable, using that word in
its modern sense. We all aspire to be
dilettantes. I once lived in a country
where the bricklayers had every brick
laid in front of them by negro helpers.
These observations are inspired by the
demands made upon the railroads by loco
motive firemen. Each of them wants an
•ssistant to do the rough work. And
bless you, the precious tiremen must not
In future be asked to groom their me
chanical steeds lest some oil or grime
spoil the polish on the fireman's nails.
One railway manager is credited with
having remarked; "They want a valet."
And a perusal of the lengthy schedule of
. demands—the text would fill a whole col
umn—reveals why such a comment should
have been made. The impression con
veyed is that the firemen have become
•oo uppish for their jobs. When a man
gets into frame of mind he is apt
to trip and fall to mother earth.
Do not the latest developments justify
the railway managers’ contention that an
advance in engineers' wages would be
followed by similar demands from all
classes of employees? The managers
knew what they were about when they
insisted upon arbitration.
Another labor incident is worth more
than passing notice: The refusal of the
coal miners’ representatives to accept the
agreement made on their behalf by a
sub-committee is likely to lead to grave
consequences A friend told me that
President feaer, of the Reading company,
vowed that the next overtures for peace
must come from the men. The producers
are naturally chagrined over the rejection
of the settlement mutually agreed upon by
the conferees delegated to draw up a
peace pact. A bitter light may follow.
The householder should be glad spring
is at last here, for it may cost money
lots of it—to keep furnaces going after
. coal bins are emptied.
The cost of living has been soaring
rather rapidly of late through the fresh
concessions granted labor. Every yard
of cotton costs more to manufacture to
day than it did a month or two ago,
hence dry goods are dearer. The wages
of coal miners admittedly are moving
tipward, and it can be accepted as a
foregone conclusion that the price of
fuel will rise. Then the chances are
that the railroads will be called upon to
make some new allowances to certain
classes of employees—another tax by and
by upon the consumer of life's neces
saries. All these benefits to the workers
may be absolutely necessary to meet the
heavier burdens entailed by modern con
ditions, but never let the fact be over
looked that each advance in pay means
an additional load upon the rest of us.
Wages never come down. That broad,
fundamental fact is worth remembering.
Os course, there may be local declines
in times of depression, but the rule —
international in application—is substan
tially true The sooner the tariff on im
ports is radically lowered, the better for
us all. If WC keep on jacking up wages
we will become impotent as competitors
for the world’s markets. If it costs the
American manufacturer a dollar and live
cents to produce merchandise foreigners
can supply at a dollar, we fall out of
the race. And now that we consume
most of our home-grown foodstuffs it
is increasingly desirable that we should
outstrip other nations as manufactur
ers.
The economic fabric is so woven that
if you overstrain one thread the whole is
weakened. Are wo in danger of spoiling
the fabric?

CONNOR EXPECTS'
ABOUT HALF CROP'
i New Commissioner Queries the i
Cotton Planters to Determine
Probable Condition.
Conflicting reports on the condition
of the cotton crop have caused the state
department of agriculture to send out
state-wide queries to ascertain the ac
tual situation.
J. .L Connor, newly appointed com
missioner of agriculture, said today
that the bright weather had undoubt
edly saved the crop from utter ruin in
many sections.
Even with the ideal weather condi
tions now prevailing. Mr. Connor is of
the opinion that the crop will not reach
60 per cent of the crop of 1911. He
said:
"While conditions indicate that we
will have a real cotton crop, the late
ness of the planting season has cut
down the acreage in many sections.
The crop will not approach that of
1911."
Substantial Data Sought.
J. J Brown, the new assistant com
missioner. said he was sending out in
quiries over the state to get some real
data upon the conditions for the de
partment.
"It will be corn year,'.' said Mr. Brown.
"The planting season for cotton is at
least twenty days late. As a result
many farmers will bo forced to turn to
corn. Corn can be safely planted any
time during May with favorable weath
er conditions.
"In many respects it may be a good
thing. It will at any rate test out the
corn theory for Georgia. You know
most people think that Georgia would ’
do well to let up a little on cotton and
turn to corn and provision crops.
"At any rate. In a few days wo will
have some real data on th» cotton sit
uation and then some actual predictions
can be made.”
Brown Rot Hits Peaches.
E. Lee Worsham, state entomologist,
is worried over the peach crop. He
says that "brow n rot," the most per
nicious peach pest known to this sec
tion. has invaded Georgia orchards.
"Unless we get a good spell of sunny
weather the peach crop is sure to be
badly damaged by 'brown rot.’ The
’rot’ is very early this year and came
as a result of the rainy weather," he
said. t

New York wires, night letter; "Should
the market open down tomorrow i Thurs

buying, as a number of bulls who had
large lines sold out yesterday and Mon

Mobile wires: "From a. reliable sourse.
understand the Mississippi condition worse
than in 1900. when they made 950,000
bales. This comes from a good source,
but the party does not wish to be quoted.
Says it's the worst be has ever known."
New’ Orleans Times-Democrat: “While
the remaining outstanding Interest in May
is something less than 10,000 bales, the
fact that much of the cotton inspected
for certification and eventual tender is
too low for tender purposes is beginning
to mean something in the eyes of th£
trade. Recently as much as 88 per cent
of a lot inspected at New Orleans was
found too low. At New York it is re
ported the rejections have been running
as high as from 30 to 40 per cent. As
the interest in July is very much larger

begun to wonder whether the market is
drifting. Meantime the excess in ex
port stock over 1909 has shrunk from

BUYLIBERALLY
Market Steady in Face of Weak
Liverpool and Favorable
Weather Reports.
NEX<’ YORK. May 9. —The cotton mar
ket opened easier today with first prices
5 to 7 points under yesterday's close.
Cables were weaker than due and reports
of more favorable weather over the
Southern belt also helped the bears. Pro
fessional sentimetn appeared to be against
the market and there was more or less
local pressure from a number of spot
houses.
Futures and spot were easy in Liver
pool.
The market showed considerable
strength in the face of the favorable map
and unfavorable Liverpool. This was due
io the good buying.by spot interests. The
popular idea in the mind of the average
trader is. should we have two weeks of
good weather, a serious decline would be
inevitable. This is entirely problematical
On the other hand, should rains continue
throughout May, what then?
The market was very steady in the aft
ernoon with spot people still buying. At
2 o'clock prices ranged to 8 points above
the previous close.
At the close the market was barely
steady at advances of from 4 to 9 points
above Wednesday’s final quotations.

STEEL RECOVERS
FROM ITS SLUMP
Other Issues Show Reassuring
Effect From This Indication
of Strength.
By CHARLES W. STORM.
NEW YORK, May 9.—There was an ab
sence of selling pressure at the opening
of the stock market today, which, coupled
with a moderate demand from several
important sources, caused general gains.
United States Steel common, which closed
last Might at 65. opened at 65% and soon
gained % additional.
The advance in Steel common had a
reassuring effect on the balance of the
list American Smelting and Amalga
mated Copper each rose % and substan
tial gains were made tn both Utah Cop
per and Nevada Consolidated.
The railroad list was generally strong.
Reading rose "s to 174%, despite the sit
uation in the anthracite fields. Lehigh
Valley ami other hard coalers advanced
■%. Canadian Pacific opened unchanged,
but made a slight fractional gain upon
the first few transactions. Erie common
was also unchanged at the outside. Bal
timore and Ohio rose %. A gain of %
was made in both Southern Pacific and
Union Pacific.
The curb was strong
Americans in London showed evidence
of support.
Stocks were in brisk demand all through
the, forenoon, many issues making gains
of 1 point or more, and although some
long stocks were supplied at higher lev
els. there was no change in the tone at
the end of that period. The buying was
still in evidence in Reading, which rose
1%. Union Pacific was also in good
demand, advancing %. Substantial gains
were made in American Beet Sugar,
American Can, Bethlehem Steel common
and American lee.
The price movement in the late after
non trading was irregular. Some issues
made vigorous advances, while others
sustained severe losses. Most importance
was attached to the weakness of Illinois
Central, which declined to 122%, against
125 at the dose yesterday. The selling
was attributed to estimates of heavy
losses by flood damage in the South.
American Can preferred was the most
prominent of the specialties, selling at 120,
an advance of 3 points for the day,
and establishing a new high record. Le
high Valley was also strong, moving up
to 168%. a gain of 2 points in all. Most
of the leading railroads and Industrials
shaded off slightly under profit taking.
The market closed steady.
Governments unchanged. Other bonds
steady.
