L
Time Here for Employers to Take
Heed of Voters They
Are Making,
By B. C. FORBES.
"All 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
• lasses m America, especially by
those 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 criAhed, the longer
it is unfairly treated, the more radi
cal its revenge—recall the French
Revolution, tlfe 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 Avail. The farther the
scale of justice is depressed on one
side the greater its rebound.
* * •
Among those who specially need to
«onsider their ways and readjust their
attitude are:
Employers who pay starvation
v\ 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
heat other security holders through
speculation in the shares of their
< ompanies.
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 run for the
service of the public.
Corporations which adhere iu se
crecy—no doubt for very potent rea
sons.
Politicians who aspire to ride
above the wishes of the "common
people” and who fear wliat tney
term “mob rule."
Judges and legislators of the
stripe that fatten their bankrolls by
liberal remittances from Standard

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 says:
“The practicability and ike 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!
WASHINGTON, Sept. 15.—There
was a steady increase in the scale of
wages paid to labor in this country
in the past six years. This was ac
complished in the face of a steady re
duction in the working hour? of labor.
The Depart men; 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
sons of union wage scale agreements,
trade union reports and working com
pacts in central cities throughout M;e j
United States from 1907 to 1912.
The bakers fared best ; their wages
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.
Arrangements for the annual Geor
gia Corn Show, under the auspices of
the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce,
will be discussed by the corn 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 ?how r 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’, actin 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 i«
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 chow 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 becomes one of the
be.>t 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 fshows that originated with
tlie chamber. These corn shows have
proven to the farmer that iv is possi
ble to grow as good corn in Georgia
as anywhere else, and that they are
alive to their opportunity is proven
by tiie annually increasing yield of
grain.”

JACKSONVILLE, Sept. 15.—An

COTTON AT CLOSE
Concentrated Buying at Outseet
Causes Substantial Gain—Dip
Caused by Profit Taking.
NEW YORK, Sept. 15. Trading at
the opening of the cotton market to
day was brisk and nrsi prices were at a
net advance of 7 to 14 points from Sat
urday’s closing quotations. Those work
ing for an advance were encouraged »>
the continuous rains in rexaa, wnich it
is believed have oeaten out a lot of cot
ton and lowered the grade.
Liverpool shocked the feelings of the
bear 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 sulticlent buying
power on the call, which was attributed
mainly to Wail street and covering by
shorts, to broaden the eariv advance 5 to
12 points from the opening. Later fu
tures were Irregular, and tell within 3 to
8 points of the previous close, but the
market showed rallying power on the
decline, and by noon prices n&d recov
ered the early depression and showed
signs of advancing still further, owing to
the heavy buying by strong interests.
Offerings were rather scarce, except
scattered profit-taking.
T^e Government report on the supply
and distribution of cotton during the
month of August was without much ef
fect.
During the afternoon session the mar
ket developed a sagging tendency, based
on the detailed weather records for war
mer to clearing w eat hr in Texas ami
rports that Liverpool is selling here and
prices worked back to the previous close.
The bull forces were talking higher
prices—etfen predicting 14 cents this
week. 'Phis, however, will depend more
on the movement and news from Wash
ington than anything lse.
At the close the market was steady
with prices practically unchanged from
Saturday's final, being- 2 up to 2 points
lower.

ing Standard Oil gang has been
brought to itn 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
and upon the public have learned a
lesson, although many of them are
still obdurate.

The vote of John D. Rockefeller,

Jaeoff Sehiff counts for no more than
the vote of the workman with whom

that they do not THINK enough

HAYWARD <5. CLARK’S
DAILY COTTON LETTER
NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 15.—Weather
developments over Sunday were as pre
dicted and distinctly favorable. The
map this morning show? part cloudy to
fair in Texas anil 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
weather. Indications are for generally
fair weather 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
tlie 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 of current pick
ings. they are beneficial to crop develop
ment and low ering of grades is really no
bull argument, a? lower 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*
Louisians* Mississippi and Arkansas.
NEW ORLEANS COTTON.
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 not* 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 cotton this season. 1 believe in
buying on every easy spot and expect to
see 14-cent cotton before the end
of the month.”

The condition on September 25, last
year, was 6;*. 6 and the ten-year average
for that date Is 68.6. Rains since the
data of the replies have been of some
benefit In the Mississippi Valley and
eastward and have probably arrested
deterioration, though it does not yet
appear that there bus been any resto
ration of losses. In Texas excessive
precipitation has been productive of
more"damage to grade than addition to
yield.

DRY GOODS PRICES FIRM;
QUICK SHIPMENTS WANTED
.Marshall Field & Co. in their weakly
review of the dry goods trade say:
Demand for dry goods for immediate
distribution is strong. Shipments for
the week show a gain over those of the
sairte period a .year ago, and sales by
j 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, with an upward
tendency, and there is g'«od call for this
merchandise at the higher prices. There
also has been a strengthening of prices
on print cloths arid on some lines of
ginghams.
Salesmen have gone out during the
week to book orders for spring busi
ness on ginghams. Unit underwear,
muslin underwear, gloves, hosiery and
linens.
Hosiery can not be imported in Hie
same quantities am) qualities as were
possib’e two years on account of
the Increased cost of materials and
labor in Europe.
The advance in the cost of material
and labor entering Into kid gloves for
spring will offset an> reduction that
has \et been contemplated in tariff
schedules. Still further increase is
probable jn tlie cost of skins, as an im
portant portion of the medium qualities
of skins come from countries in Europe
I where the flocks have been devastated
j by the Bulgarian war.
