Auditorium Audience
Time Here for Employers to Take
Heed of Voters They
Are Making,
By B. C. FORBES.
"Ail progress is forced by the mob."
* * •
That was the statement snarled at
me by a workman.
* * *
, “The rich never budge until they
are forced to,“ he added. “Universi
ties don’t advocate reforms until the
people have clamored for them and
are far on the road to getting them.”
* * *
These blunt assertions are worth
thinking over by the capitalistic
classes in America, especially by
thosr? who are striving might and
main to stem the tide of progress
toward applied democracy. The
“mob” sooner or later has its way.
The more it is crushed, the longer
it is unfairly treated, the more radi
cal its revenge—recall the French
Revolution, thfe overthrow of various
dynasties in modern times, the social
revolution now going on in Britain.
* * •
Reactionaries in this country should
not shut their eyes to the handwrit
ing on the wall. The farther the
scale of justice is depressed on one
side the greater its rebound.
* * •
Among those who specially need to
consider their ways and readjust their
attitude are:
Employers who pay starvation
w ages.
Owners of sweatshops.
Manufacturers who exploit child
labor.
Corporations who, through monop
oly. patents or other means, rob the
public.
Financiers who rake in millions
from railroad and other corporations
which they control.
Directors who use their office to
cheat other security holders through
wpecuiation in the shares of their
companies.
Bankers who are foolishly trying
to stop the Federal Government
from controlling the nation’s cur
rency system and who want to run
things their own way.
Railroads which have been ex
ploited for the pockets of a few In
siders instead of being ru® for the
service of the public.
Corporations which adhere to se
crecy—no doubt for very potent rea- I
sons.
Politicians who aspire to ride
above the wishes of the “common
people” and who fear what they
term “mob rule."
Judges and legislators of the
stripe that fatten their bankrolls by
liberal remittances from Standard
Oil and other corruptionists.
Promoters who foist questionable
and worthless securities on the pub
lic.
Bankers who are opposed to form
ing a proper system of credit for the
nation's farmers.
The Coal Barons, who still do as
they please.
The “mob” are bent upon reforms
touching all these.
* 9 *
Many responsible financiers are
beginning to see straight. Others
are still blind. Recent events have
opened a few eyes. The once-arro-
gant house of Morgan & Co. has been
brought to its knees over the New
Haven scandal. The once-overbear
ing Standard Oil gang has been
brought to its senses and is now
spending sleepless nights over its sins
—because found out. The latest
wreckers of Railroads have had an
uncomfortable time. Politicians of
the “stand-pat” kind have been put
to rout. Corporation managers who
used to trample upon their workmen
ajid upon the public have learned a
lesson, although many of them are
still obdurate.
* * #
The vote of John D. Rockefeller.
J. P. Morgan, George F. Baker, or
Jaooff Schiff counts for no more than
the vote of the workman with whom
I talked. And there are more work
men than there are Rockefellers, j
Morgans. Bakers and Schiff?.
* * *
Give tlie “mob” a square ilea!.
Grant them reasonable concessions
VOLUNTARILY. Do not wait until
they FORCE fair play, for when they
110 they are apt to take revenge for
what thev were unjustly deprived of.
* * •
Not long ago an interview with a
111 : Ik-wagon drivor was printed >11 thi.-
olumn. In It he peladed for more
humane treatment. I have since been
in touch with the corporation em
ploying him, and hope to be able to
chronicle one gratifying case of con-
■rssions being granted voluntarilly.
The trouble with many companies is
that they do not THINK enough
about the kind of voters they are
making of their men.
« « .
Is it not tipie for employers to
lake stock of the kind of voters they
are making of their men?

Cotton Forgeries
Made Impossible
Charles S. Haight, representing the
Liverpool Bill of Lading Conference
Committee, announces that European
cotton interests have taken final ac
tion toward the permanent organiza
tion of the Cotton Bills of Lading
Central Bureau and the uniform and
permanent use of that bureau for the
protection of the cotton trade against
forged documents.
Mr. Haight stays:
“The practicability and the effici
ency of the Central Bureau have been
demonstrated during the past two
years. The co-operation of the cot
ton carrying railroads has been
unanimous, 116 roads having signed
the .agreement with the Liverpool Bill
of Lading Committee and the Ameri
can Bankers' Association.
“The Central Bureau will be run
hereafter at the expense of the for
eign interests.”
Labor Gets High Pay
For Shorter Hours
. S. IS AIM OF
Georgia Farmers Join Committee
in Planning for Success of
Atlanta Exhibition.
Arrangements for the annual Geor
gia Corn Show, under the auspices of
the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce,
will be discussed by the com show
committee of the chamber, of which
H. G. Hastings is chairman, at a
meeting to be held this week. The
committee has already decided to hold
the show during the first week in De
cember In the corridors* of the State
Capitol.
Responses which corn growers of
Georgia are making to the appeals of
the committee and the Chamber of
Commerce indicate the show this year
will eclipse any that, has yet been
held. Farmers are taking greater in
terest in the exhibition than ever be
fore. Both Mr. Hastings and W. H.
Leahy, aetin gsecretary of the Cham
ber of Commerce, receive letters daily
from all parts of the State requesting
Information about the show.
“We expect to have one of the best
corn shows in America In Atlanta in
December.” said Mr. Leahy Monday
morning, “and if the interest that the
growers are manifesting can be taken
as a criterion of what the show will
be, our expectations will be realized.
The corn yield in Georgia this year' L
larger in quantity and better In qual
ity than ever before in the history of
the State, and the exhibits of the
farmer at the corn fihow will be proof
of the fact that Georgia is living in
an era of unequaled prosperity.
“If the present rate of increase
keeps up it will be only a few years
before Georgia become? one of the
best corn-producing States in the
Union. The action of Georgia farm
ers in recent years, in raising more
corn and turning their attention to
diversification of crops instead of de
pending altogether on cotton, is trace
able directly to the influence, of the
Atlanta Chamber of Commerce and
the corn shows that originated with
the chamber. These corn shows have
proven to the farmer that it is possi
ble to grow as good corn in Georgia
as anywhere else, and that they are
alive to their opportunity is proven
by the annually increasing yield of
grain.”
Atlanta music lovers heard one of
the best programs of the year at the

COTTON GOSSIP
WASHINGTON, Sept. 15.—There
was af steady increase in the scale of
wages paid to labor In this countrj’
in the past six years. This was ac
complished in the face of a steady re
duction in the working hours of labor.
The Department of Labor reports
that labor now is receiving more re
muneration for fewer hours of toil
than ever before.
The figures are based on compari
son? of union wage scale agreements,
trade union reports and working com
pacts in central cities throughout the
United States from 1907 to 1912.
The bakers fared best ;their wage?
were increased 22 per cent in the
six years, while their working day
was shortened nearly one fifth. Stone
cutters and newspaper compositors
are the lowest in the scale in the
matter of reduced hours.

'Concentrated Buying at Outseet

NEW YORK, Sept 15. trading at

Liverpool shocked the rceitngs of tie
beer contingent ny meeting the full ad
vance due before the local 'market
opened, with spots equally as high.
This, coupled with the continuous rains
in Texas, promoted suliiotent buying
power on the call, which was attributed
roamiv to Wall street abd covering bj
shorts, to broaden the euriy advance 5 to
12 points from the opening, Later fu
tures were irregular, and felt within 3 to
S points of the previous close, but the
market showed rallying power on the
decline, and by noon prices na<l recov
ered the early depression and showed
signs of advancing stin Further, owing to
tl.c heavy buying ny strong interests.
Offerings were rather scarce, except
scattered profit-taking.
The Government report on the supply
and distribution of cotton during tue
month of August was without much <*f- I

During the afternoon session the mar
ket developed a sagging tendency, based
on the detailed weather records for war
mer to clearing vveuthr ill Texas and
rports that Liverpool is selling here and
prices worked back to t lie previous close.
The bull forces were talking higher
prices- even predicting 14 cents this
week. This, however, will depend more

At the close the market was steady

HAYWARD &. CLARK’S
DAILY COTTON LETTER
NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 15.—Weather
developments over Sunday were as pre
dicted ami distinctly favorable. The
map this morning shows part cloudy to
fair in Texas and Oklahoma; only a
little precipitation at a few’ points. Gen-
erally cloudy in the Central and East
ern States, with a general rainfall, light
to moderate, except heavy in the Mo
bile district. There was no storm, mere
ly a rain formation moving from Texas
eastward. Rains are needed in the
Eastern States after ten days of d a
weather. Indications an* for generally
fair W’eather in the Western States, ex
cept possibly a few light showers in
Northeast Texas; cloudy unsettled and
rainy weather in the eastern half of the
belt.
The opening here was about 12 points
higher in sympathy with New York and
the strongly bullish disposition there
controlled the market throughout the
morning New York wires that the
buying is on reports of damage. Such
reports are usual, wherever there is a
rainy spell at this period. While these
rains lower the grade ol current pick
ings, they are beneficial to crop develop
ment and lowering of grades is really no
bull argument, as loAver grades are more
subject to the competition of cheaper
cotton of other growth, such as Indian
cotton. The permium for better grades
will undoubtedly advance, while this
rainy spell lasts. The detailed Govern
ment weather records show a heavy
rainfall Saturday in the Central States#
Louisiana. Mississippi and Arkansas.

S. Tate says: "Bullish crop conditions
and trade conditions with demand for
manufactured products, in the face of
small stocks of good is a bullish fea
ture that can not be underestimated.
Neither American nor foreign spinners
have started to buy their cotton in any
quantity yet. They got left on this ad
vance and lost the chance of buying
cheap cotjon this season. I believe in
buying on every easy spot and expect to

The condition on September 25. last

benefit in tin* Mississippi Valley and i

deterioration, though it does not yet
appear that there has been any resto

DRY GOODS PRICES FIRM;
QUICK SHIPMENTS WANTED
Marshall Field A- Co. in their weekly
review of the dry goods trade say:
Demand for dry goods for immediate
distribution Is strong. Shipments for
the week show a gum over those of the
same period a year ago, and sales by
our traveling representatives surpass
those of any corresponding week for
a number of years.
A general advance in the prices of
domestics has been announced and the
market continues firm, jvith an upward
tendency, and there is "good call f or this
merchandise at the higher prices. There
also has been a strengthening of prices
on print cloths a*.d on some lines of
ginghams.
Salesmen have gone out during the
week to hook orders for spring busi
ness on ginghams, knit underwear,
muslin underwear, gloves, hosiery and
linens.
Hosiery can not be imported in the
same quantities and qualities as were
possib’e two years ago on account of
the increased cost of materials and
labor in Europe
The advance in the cos' of material
and labor entering Into kid gloves for
spring will offset any reduction that
has yet been contemplated in tariff
schedules Still further increase is
probable in the cost of skirts, as an im
portant portion of the medium qualities
of skins come from countries in Europe
where the flocks have been devastated
by the Bulgarian war-
