TACT AND GOSSIP IN MONEY MARTS This Country Needs a Depart ment of Labor—Would Be of Benefit. By B. C. FORBES. NEW YORK. July 26. In democracies it is fitting that labor should have a gener ous share in the government. Eyen mon arch tai countries are beginning to realize that one member of the human family is entitled to as much consideration as any other member, even though there may be a difference In station. The I’nited States constitution hit that nail squarely on the head. • • • That paragraph is written to lead up to an Indorsement of the proposal to create a full-fledged department of labor with a representative enjoying a sent in the cabi net. Labor is entitled to such recognition. Nor will the majority of our ablest capi talists offer one word of objection; they will approve it. • * • Greater honors are in store for labor than the public yet wots of. Some time ago J .stated here that certain very pow erful financiers, men holding dominating positions on some of the leading director ates in the country, contemplate the ap- | pointment of employees as directors with voting rights equal to the capitalistic members. This policy is now finding favor among interests who old not formerly bother very much concerning the feelings of employees. Once an example is set by one influential corporation, others will promptly follow. I am told that one of our greatest railroad systems may be the first to act. ■ • t. Profit-sharing plans are also under con sideration in many directions. The com panies which had foresight enough to in augurate equitable schemes have every rearon tn feel satisfied with the results. Pensions for employees are likewise com ing into vogue. So are sick benefits. • • ♦ The gulf that has too long dividefl capi tal and labor is gradually being bridged. • • • The I’nited States should certainly have a department of labor. Republican Erance has one. Germany has not yet traveled that length along the road to democracy, but Great Britain has for years had a labor man in the cabinet •Burns of Bat tersea,” member of the executive commit tee of the Amalgamated Society of En gineers, broke into the sacred circle seven years ago. Even our neighbor to the north, Canada, has her minister of labor, while in certain other British colonies lhe hand of labor is at the helm of state. Why should this republic lag behind? • • • The bill passed by the house of repre sentatives provides for the transfer of the commissioner general of immigration, the commissioners of immigration, the bu reau of immigration, the immigration Bervce at large, the bureau of labor and the commissioner of labor from the de partment of commerce ami labor to the proposed department of labor. A secre tary of labor, if wisely selected, could eas ily become one of the most valuable mem bers of the cabinet He would enjoy a unique position for bringing together em ployers and employees whenever serious labor Uouhles threatened. If a man of the right caliber, possessing the confi dence alike of labor and capital, his of fices could be sought as peace maker ami power given him to make binding awards. Or, he could be entrusted with the deli cate task of appointing arbitrators. ■ V • Strikes have become a curse of modern civilization. Would not an efficient de partment of labor help to mitigate the evil in this country? ♦ ♦ * No nation has yet satisfactorily solved the problem of preventing strikes. New Zealand thought it had. but experience has proved that its conciliation board i.J no infallible panacea; labor welcomed the decisions so long as they were in its favor, but after the capitalistic sponge had bee! 1 , squeezed dry and no more could be wrung from it, then conciliation ceased to con ciliate. Wil! America beget a genius des tined not onl.v to find a key capable of unlocking labor deadlocks, but to discover a sure anil permanent preventive? No greater economic service could be rendered mankind. The oeeasion oft begets the man. Os a truth the occasion is here with us. Let us now search for the man A seat in the I’nited States cabinet is but one -of Hie honors that a grateful nation will con fer upon him. THIEF LOOTS CARUSO’S VILLA; ART RELICS GONE FLORENCE.

NEW YORK, July 26.—The cotton mar ket opened up from 4 to 12 points to day. When October sold at 12.75 on the opening call it uncovered a lot of stop orders, which caused a quick reaction to 12.70. Many traders had Mixed that price as their limit on which to take profits, and there was also considerable pressure from the room element, on the idea that 12.75 discounted a lot of crop damage so early In the season. Fairly active sell ing all around; the ring followed the weather map, which showed high temper atures in the eastern belt, with no rain in Texas It was estimated that full)' 40,000 bales were sold in the first half hour of trading this morning, which was bought mostly by spot interests and those representing foreign interests. During the afternoon trading the market was quiet, with July under heavy selling. This option declined 14 points, with later accounts ranging from 1 point higher to 8 points under the opening. The market is purely a weather affair, with every indication that it will continue for another week, until after the bureau report August 2 is out of the vrtty, with tendency of prices to work higher with only slight reaction. Some of the strength shown in the market is due to the many anticipations of a bullish mill taking. At the close the market was steady with prices ranging from 1 to 7 points above the final of yesterday. Warehouse stocks in New York today, 108,905; certificated, 96,1X3. RANGE OF NEW YORK FUTURCS.
