13 THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. CAPITAL MUST GIVETHE 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 nd 1 ’ 1 ler < orruptionists. Promoters who foist questionable I worthless securities on the pub lic. 1'ankers who are opposed to form ing a proper system of credit for the me 1 * n’s farmers.

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.” Georgia Farmers Join Committee in Planning for Success of Atlanta Exhibition. 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.” Auto Hits Motorcycle; One Dead, 2 Injured JACKSONVILLE, Sept. 15.—An other life was sacrificed late yester day at Pablo Beach to speed mania.

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.

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.” • * • Replies of date of September 10 show a loss in condition during two weeks of 4.4 per cent, giving a percentage of 63.8 us of that date for United States Government basis, according to J.

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. * * * Condition l»y States follows: North Carolina, 70 against 78; South Carolina, 69 against 77; Georgia. 73 against 76; Alabama. 68 against 72; Mississippi. 66 against (>'.% .

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.
