13 THE ATLAJNi A UhUKUiA.X A N 1J jNfcAVS. MONDAY, MAY ">, 19 k Quarter Century’s Progress Has Transformed World of the Workingman. By B. C. FORBES. In the new issue of Hears! s Maga zine 1 picture a Rip Van Winkle workman opening his eyes after S\,eep of a quarter of a century >r ess. There is so much discontent, so much pessimism hanging like a black pall over the land to-day that it may not. be untimely to reproduce an ex- :ract here: Picture in your mind a Rip Van Winkle workman opening his eyes on !he world of to-day after a sleep of i«quarter of » century or lesr«. What vn ould he behold? What changes 'would strike him? Would he be able lo believe his eyes? * * * When he fell asleep say 25 yeats s.go—he and his class were slaving from early morning to darkness every day, with no thought of half-holidays •>r fortnight vacations. They lived in nouses that were, outwardly, bovel9 and enriched with no bath rooms, no hot-and-cold water systems, no h> • sienic contrivances such as we know to-day. The world beyond a few miles from their doorsteps was an.unopened book; travel for sightseeing was un known. Places of amusement were few an i far between, and the ordinary worker seldom had either the time or the money to patronize them. The one problem about clothes was how to And enough to cover nakedness and keep warm in winter. Education was well - nigh beyond the reach of the poor. * * * Our Rip Van Winkle workman would stare in bewilderment at mod ern sights and conditions and listen with incredulity to the tales he would be told. * * * He would see workers living in •umfortablc, even pretentious, homes. Fidorned with appliances and conven iences such as only the wealthy as- oired to when he fell asleep. He wouid see them wearing clothing that a mil lionaire might have envied in his day had there been nvllionairos then. Ho would see public schools at every turn hnd every child from 5 to 13 or more attending daily, with no tasks (save in rare cases) beyond their lessons. On all sides theaters would meet his gaze, drawing their hundreds an 1 ! their thousands of amusement-seek- u/rs nightly. Of sights and wonder- ^oeyorfd his home—and even beyori 1 the seas—he would hear fairylike tales from neople who had seen them l with their own eyes. It Most of all would the changed lot o' ft *he worker, the transformation in con- F ditlons of toil, impress him. Instead of a twelve and fourteen hours’ day he would hear of eight or nine hours' days’ of demands that Itese hours be further reduced, and f i hat every hour over eight be paid for at a special high rate. 4 * * His head would buzz with descrip tions of Ingenious plans designed to better the life of his fellows. He would be told of old-age pensions, of profit-sharing plans, of slclt benefits, of workmen’s compensation laws, of minimum wage scales voluntarily granted. He would learn of co-operative, ns,-price stores for corporation em ployees, of recreation halls, dining rooms, and libraries attached to larg factories and workshops, of free hos pitals, of weekly half-holidays ami regular summer vacations, ol extra pay for every hour of overtime, of occasional bonuses at Chi Istmas and .rincely gifts from retiring or de based employers. He would find trades unions ready l anv moment to throw down the ;auntlet to an over-reaching firm or orporation, of laws providing for anitary work places and safety de ices at danger spots, of technical lasses and schools organized bj ?ading corporations for the instruct ion Of ambitious youths, and of in- umerable instances of humble lads aving risen to the topmost places f industry and railroading, displac es the ornamental sons of gifted avhers. birth being no longer a guar- ntee of high position in the world f business. * * + Emancipation is not complete — ar, very far, from it. There are still nany wrongs to be righted, many ruelties to be banished, many dark daces to be lighted. The curse of hild labor still blots our escutcheon. Itarvation wages are still paid by namy employers and a few big corpo- ptions. Long hours are still worked in va- ious factories and stores by women n the making, sapping the strength nd womanhood of the mothers of nr men of to-morrow. Seven-day reeks are not yet entirely unknown n a few industries. There arc no tnions to stand up for fair play in nany poorly paid lines of work. Sweatshops still blur the picture ol nodern industry. * # * "Get, get, get!'' drowns the cry Give, give, give!” but there is mort giving every year. Selfishness has jot beeu eradicated from employers ny more than from employees, but here are more men of means seek- ng to serve mankind to-day than ver before, more of them applying he square-deal principle among- their vorkers, mor P of them influenced by » spirit of righteousness and not \ holly by a spirit of rapacity.

Covering by Slufrts Saves Mar ket From Big Dip—Rumors Are Mills Will Close. NEW YORK, May 5. -Due to bearish weather conditions the cotton market opened under pressure to-day and first prices were 3 to 8 points off. Although rabies were unsatisfactory the list re ceived fairly good support. This was particularly true of new crops. The ( celling of late positions was not aggress- I ive Beginning Monday, May 12. millb of the Big Fall River Iron Works Company will suspend business indefinitely. Also notices of complete shutdown have been posted in oil seven mills. This caused further selling by the ring and Wall Street, resulting in a rapid decline of 2 to 7 points througho: t the list from the opening. The selling was also based upon Texas tains ami continued favorable weather throughout the belt. The weather indications added to the bearish argument ami encouraged active selling of new crops. The map indicates partly cloudy to fair over the western naif of Texas and unsettled to showery weather in East Texas and the central port, Cloudy in the Atlantlcs. During the late forenoon the market was given rather good support, which was believed to be shorts covering, and prices retrieved the early decline and fluctuated within the approximate of the opening quotations. Wall Street was a buyer of old and new crop positions and commission houses were fair buyers. Much senti- ;n* m seemed to be against the market and the ring continued to sell during the afternoon session. Still, prices ral lied a shade above the Initial level for old crops and ruled irregular for new positions. The reports that the mills at Fall River will close down was discouraging in the face of unsettled political condi tions abroad. The closing of the mills was taken to indicate that the strin gency of money is having real effect upon the trade and that business condi tions both local and foreign are worse. The market was saved from a serious decline by short covering. July*showed considerable weakness, but managed to hold steady around the opening level. With the prevailing bearish sentiment and continued favorable crop reports it will be a difficult task to bring about ;my advance of consequence, especially in the face of the pessimistic feeling, leaders say. A wire was received from Cordill from Memphis stating that the crop outlook is very favorable ami the soil is excep tionally well prepared The start is more favorable In the Memphis district ban either 1912 or 1911 During the oast few days the weather has been warm and sunny and favorable for germination. A wave of scattered short covering by the ring during the closing hour gave a steadier tone for a few minutes, but of ferings continued of a good character from a number of brokers with spot house connection and the market closed steady wbh prices unchanged to 5 points lower than .-aturday’s final.

While Montenegro con sented to evacuate Scutari, there arc persistent rumors of Austria and Italy trying to gain control of Albania, there by creating a new difficulty. English consols this morning were 1 * higher to 74 13-16. but French rentes were 20 down, to 85.22%. Liverpool was poor, with futures 5 10 7 points down; spots ;i points down, sales 8,000 bales. There was no cold weather over Sun day. On the contrary, temperatures were higher in the lower and middle sections. New York wired that the Iron Works Mills, Borden, the largest at Fall River, expected to go on short time at the end of this week, and that others will follow. Our market dropped about 10 poinis in the early trading, but ruled steady at the decline. There was no real pres sure to sell. The favorable rains, with prospects of needed rains in the near future in the Eastern States, was the principal cause of the easiness. NEW ORLEANS COTTON.

Insure Continued Pros perity,” He Says. WASHINGTON, May B.—The steii industry in the East will be hard hit by the new tariff and business gen erally will be unsettled for some time, but the enterprise and resource fulness of the country are sufficient to justify expectations for continued prosperity.” Charles M. Schwab, president of the Bethlehem S*eel Corporation, thus declared his optimism: "I did not come to Washington to fight the tariff” he added. ”1 have testified before several Congressional committees that If the tariff on steel were materially lowered we would be compelled to abandon plans for en larging our plant at Bethlehem. ”1 have been quoted as saying I would go out of the steel business if the country has a tariff such as is now proposed. I did not make a.iy such statement, however. 1 am not going to quit.” The Market Also Makes Credit able Response to Improvement in the European Situation. By CHARLES W. STORM. NEW YORK. May 5.

World's shipments were smaller than comparative periods and there was a big decrease in the amount of bread- stuffs on ocean passage for the week. Corn was off % to %c. Farmers are selling corn more freely and they are also disposing of their surplus oats and the latter was off % to %e In conse quence. Provisions were stronger under short covering. Losses were shown of Lift %c in w heat, 'h<v%c in corn and *•» in oats. Senti ment was bearish during the last hour of the session, and the selling was more liberal, while the buying was cautious. The visible supply of wheat decreased 3.666,000 bushels, corn decreased 3,175, 000 bushels and oats decreased 779,000 bushels for the past week. The cash business was reported at 65,000 bushels of wheat at Chicago, 100,000 bushels of corn and 235,000 bushels of oats. The seaboard reported 45 boatloads of Duluth wheat for shipment abroad. While there are a great many bears in the Chicago grain markets, they are afraid to put out any great amount of wheat, corn o’ oats, as they believe that those who are in control of those markets will force them out of their positions whether they are on the short or long side. The ex cellent crop conditions are reflected In he big receipts of wheat at the various positions, coupled with the desire on th« part of holders in the country to get rid of at least part of their grain. While the provision market was dull, it was strong and higher all around. CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET. Grain quotations: Previous NAVAL stores.
