I 13 ii.i L AlLAAiA (jkOlxOiAIv AIM) ALW8 BIS [IB TOM! Quarter Century’s Progress Has Transformed World of the Workingman. iCovering by Shorts Saves Mar ket From Big Dip—Rumors Are Mills Will Close. By B. C. FORBES. In tile new Issue of lloarsis Magi, '.ine I picture a Rip Van Winkle Workman opening his eyes after %leep of a quarter of a century or less. There is so much discontent, so much pessimism hanging like a black pall over the lain] to-dny that it may not be untimely to reproduce an ex tract here: Picture in your mind a Rip Vati Winkle workman opening his eyes on fhe world of to-day after a sleep of a quartet* of » century or less. What would he behold? What changes would strike him? Would he be able to believe his eyes? '* * * When he fell asleep say 25 years igo—he and his class were slaving from early morning to darkness ever day, with no thought of half-holidays or fortnight vacations. They lived In houses that were, outwardly, hovels and enriched with no bath rooms, no hot-and-cold water systems, no hy gienic 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 find enough to cover nakedness and keep v arm 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 omfortable, even pretentious, homes, adorned with appliances and conven iences such as only the wealthy as pired to when he fell asleep. He would see them wearing clothing that a mll- ionaire might have envied in his day hVtd there been millionaires then. Ho r would see public schools at every turn and every child from 5 to 13 or more mending daily, with no tasks (save in rare cases) beyond their lessons. On all sides theaters would meet his gaze, drawing their hundreds and their thousands of amusement-seek ers nightly. Of sights and wonders beyond Ills home—and even beyond jhe seas—he would hear fairy like Tales from people who had seen them v with their own eyes. Most of all would the changed lot of t he worker, the transformation in con ditions of toil, impress him. Instead of a twelve and fourteen hours’ day he would hear of eight or nine hours’ days’ of demands that hese hours be further reduced, and that every hour over eight be paid for at a special high rate. * # * His head would buzz with descrip- ons of ingenious plans designed to better the life of his fellows. He would be told of old-age pensions, of profit-sharing plans, of sick benefits, of workmen’s compensation laws, of minimum wage scales voluntarily granted. He would learn of co-operative. , ost-price stores for corporation em ployees, of recreation halls, dining rooms, and libraries attached to large factories and workshops, of free hos pitals. of weekly half-holidays and regular summer vacations, of extra pav for every hour of overtime, of occasional bonuses at Christmas and princely gifts from retiring or de- •eased employers. He would find trades unions ready at any moment to throw down the gauntlet to an over-reaching firm or corporation, of laws providing for sanitary work places and safety de vices at danger spots, of technical classes and schools organized by leading corporations for the instruc tion of ambitious youths, and of in numerable instances of humble lads having risen to the- topmost places cf industry and railroading, displac ing the ornamental sons of gifted tethers, birth being no longer a guar antee of high position in the world of business. * * * t Emancipation is not complete— far, very far, from it. There are still many wrongs to be lighted, many cruelties to be banished, many dark places to be lighted. The curse of r*ild labor still blots our escutcheon. Starvation wages are still paid by -many employers and a few big corpo rations. Long hours all 1 still worked in va rious factories and stores by women in the making, sapping the strength ■ind womanhood of the mothers of our men of to-morrow. Seven-day weeks arfe not yet entirely unknown in a few industries. There are no unions to stand up for fair play in many poorly 'paid lines of work. Sweatshops -till blur the picture of modern industry. “Get. get, get!" drowns the cry “Give, give, give!” but there is more giving every year. Selfishness has not been eradicated from employers any more than from employees, but i here are more men of means seek ing to serve mankind to-day than ever before, more of them applying the square-deal principle among their workers, mor e of them influenced by a spirit of righteousness and- not wholly by a spirit of rapacity. NEW YORK PRODUCE. 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 • able? were unsatisfactory the list re ceived fairly good support. This was particularly true of new crops. The selling of late positions was not aggress ive. Beginning Monday, May 12. mills of the Big Kail River Iron Works Company will suspend business Indefinitely. Also notices of complete shutdown have been posted :n all seven mills. This caused further selling by the ring and Wall Street, resulting In a. rapid decline of 2 to 7 points throughout the list front tHe opening. The selling was also based upon Texas rains and continued favorable weather throughout the belt. The weather indications added to the bearish argument and encouraged active selling of new crops. The map Indicates partly cloudy to fair over the western half of Texas and unsettled to showery weather in East Texas and the central part. Cloudy In the Atiantics. 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 ment 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 tlie mills af 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 any 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 and the soil is excep tionally well prepared The start is more favorable in the Memphis district than either 11)12 or lDll. During the past 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 with prices unchanged to 5 points lower man Saturday’s final.

While Montenegro con sented to evacuate Scutari, there are persistent rumors of Austria and Italy trying to gain control of Albania, there by creating a new difficulty. English consols this morning were % higher to 74 13-16, but French, rentes were 20 down, to 86.22%. Liverpool was poor, with^futures 5 to 7 points down; spots 6 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 points in the early trading, but ruled steady at the decline. There was no real pres sure to sell. 'Hie 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. Quotations in cotton futures: “Tariff Will Be Blow to Steel, but I’m Not Quitting"—Schwab “Enterprise and Resourcefulness of U. S. Insure Continued Pros perity,” He Says. WASHINGTON. May 6.—The steel 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 resolUce- fulness of the country are sufficient to justify expectations for continued prosperity." Charles M. Schwab, president of the Bethlehem Steel Corporation, thus declared his optimism: “I did not come to Washington to fight the tariff" he added. "I have testified before several Congressional committees that if the tariff on steoi were materially lowered we would he compelled to abandon plans for en larging our plant at Bethlehem. “I 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 sucli statement, however. I am not going to quit." CLEARINGS FOR WEEK SHOW HEAVY DECREASE Bank clearings for the week ending May 1 totaled $3,098,813,000 against $3,- 140,417,000 the preceding week and $3,- 577,581,000 the coresponding week, 1912. The total showed a decrease of 13.8 per cent, the total outside New York, a de crease of 7.4 per cent from the same week of last year. Clearings for April were 6.2 per cent larger than for March, but 4.7 per cent smaller than April, 1912. New York s decrease from April, 1912, of 8.7 per cent, explains the entire shrinkage. Outside New York, clearings were larger for the past month than for any April on record.

Large daily sales have been recorded during the week on spring and summer merchandise, both in staples and novelties. Collections are holding close to normal. There has been no let up in the large amount of business that is being booked for fall delivery on all lines that are being shown on the road. Dress goods men have been out for some time and are sending in hand some orders. Ratines still are in big demand and hard to get. Tissue ging hams and voiles, both in cotton and cotton and silk, are included in nearly all of the filling-in orders. Printed ba tiste is also a leading dress goods item. There has been a deluge of orders for muslin underwear. This demand has not centered on particular garments, but has been general throughout the line NEW YORK.

Farmers are selling corn more freels and they are also disposing of their surplus oats and the latter was off % lo %c In conse quence. Provisions were stronger under short covering. Losses were shown of %ft'%c in wheat, c In corn and % in oats. Senti ment was bearish during the lust hour of the session, and the selling was more liberal, while the buying was cautious The visible supply of wheat decreased 3.606,000 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 w'heat for shipment abroad. While there are a great many beats In the Chicago grain markets, they are afraid to put out any great amount of wheat, corn or 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 the 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: High. WHEAT- May July Sept CORN— May July Sept OATS— Previous Close.
