(By International News Service.)
CHICAGO, Jan. 11.—There {s no
disposition on the part of members of
the big railroad brotherhoods to call
a strike at this time, according to
more than 600 grievance chairmen
who are in session here today with
the heads of the brotherhoods.
They declared that the meeting will
discuss only possibilities and plan ac
tion In case no headway is made
toward granting their demands with
in a reasonable length of time. First,
they want to see what ruling the Su
preme Court will make on the valid
ity of the Adamson eight-hour law
and to watch the proposed congres
sional legislation which would compel
arbitration of all differences with the
railroads.
“There will be nothing to give out
concerning our deliberations today,”
sald W. G. Lee, president of the train
men, as the chairmen went behind
closed doors for their meeting. “Per
haps tomorrow we will have some
thing for the public.”
W. 8. Carter, president of the fire
men, and Warren Stone, president of
the engineers, also were in attend
ance. A. B. Garretson, head of the
coniductors, has been in the West In
dies for some time.
The chief points which were to be
brought up at the meeting, accord
ing to some of the officlals who were
here, were:
What action can be taken to
prevent Congress from passing
a law compelling arbitration of
all differences between the rall
roads and their men.
What action shall be taken in
the event the Adamson law is
held invalid by the Supreme
Court.
What action shall be taken in
the event the decision is long de
layed. &
What shall be done if the law
is upheld but the rallroads find
methods of evading its terms.
Switchmen, who are not affected
by the Adamson law, were threat
ening a strike as they prepared for
their subconferences today. The
terms of a recent award by an East
ern board of arbitration were the
subject of their grievance. An in
crease of 5 cents an hour was gliven
switchmen on thirteen Eastern roads,
but no provision was made to raise
the pay of the men employed on the
principal Western lires.
Gompers Says Unions
Oppose Strike Cure
(By International News Service.)
WASHINGTON, Jan. 11.—Samuel
Gompers, president of the American
Federation of Labor, told the Senate
Interstate Commerce Commission to
day that organized labor stood unan
imously and unalterably opposed to
President Wilson's strike prevention
progoul.
“There has not been a labor meet
ing anywhere in the United States the
legislation was proposed where there
has not been an overwhelming vote
against any enactment Impos‘lfc com-.
pulsory arbitration or in oluntary
servitude upon workingmen,” he de
clared.
Gompers, a strong supporte. of
President Wilson during the last cam
palgn, interpreted the election result
“as indicating the people viewed with
satisfaction what had been done for
the masses of workingmen.”
The constitutionality of the Adam
son “elght-hour” bill, now before the
Supreme Court, i not of such great
importance in itself, Gompers said,
but its passage by Congress is of far
reaching conssquence as a declara
tion of the people for the eight-hour
day.
P. J. McNamara, vice president of
the Brotherhood of Locomotive Fire.-
meén and Engineers, declared Wwall
Street, and not the railroad presi
dents and managers, was behind the
movement to knock out the eight
hour day law. He estimated the rail
roads spent $4000,000 “to fool the
public” with newspaper advertising
during the eight-hour controversy.

I ways and Coppers Strong,
| By CHARLES w, STORM.
NEW "YORK, Jan. 11.—The tone In
the early trading in stocks today was
irregular, but many of the important is-
Sues made substantial gains in the first
fifteen minutes. Steel commo.: advanced
a point to 110% and all the copper
shares reflected continueqd activity. Utan
Tose a point to 105 and fractional ad-
VAnces were scored by Anaconda, In
spiration and American Smelting. I
General Motors fell 515 points to 101.
New Haven, after selling at 46, dropped
to 451. Reading declined 3, to 9;)%,
but soon recovered this loss.
The Marine issues were steadler, the

ing the fienoral list showed substantial
losses, with Steel common dropping to
1093. while Reading fell to 98%. Ana
conda dropped to 817%.
Selling for both long and short ac
counts produced an unsettled condition
in the late forenoon. Nearly all the
active traders were bearish, Steel com
mon, afer selling at 110%, dropped to
109%4, and the other steel industrials
were sold at concessions. Republic Iron
and Steel declined from 78% to 754
General Motors, after- declining 514
points to 101, -old up to 104. The cop
pers maintained a steady tone and
ranged about even with vesterday's

then rallied to 79. St. Paul fell 1
points to 87%.
The address of Premier Lloyd-George
furnished the incentive for brisk blg'ln?
of nearly a!l the active stocks. tee
common rose over 8 points to 112 and
vigorous advances were made in the
r;llw:x and copper {ssues. General Mo
tors advanced 7% points to 108'. Ma
rine preferred moved uj’ 4 points to 81%.
The general list scored brisk ialns.
In the last hour the market showed
pronounced strength when most of the
eading issues made fnln- of 1 to 3
points, while General Motors showed an
upturn of 8 points from its low of the
morning. A reaction followed in which
& good part of the gains were lost.
Steel common yielded over a point In
the final dealings.

day. The uncertainty of the political
situation {s regadred as the main and
‘only depressing influence. The course
of values I 8 expected to be governed |
entirely by the character of this news.
There is a declded disposition being
shown on the part of the public to go
slow In buylng at the moment, due to
prospects of further efforts to bring
about peace.
‘“Wheat bulls said they were not sur
prised at the action of the market ves
terday, In fact, a reaction was due, as
prices have advanced about 35c on fily
from the low of December 21. The
break of B%c¢ from the high point of
Tuesday put the market in & position to
respond quickly to any good buying.
Theé technical situation has been weak
ened by the sharp advance. Declines,
they say, do not increase the lu?ply
of wheat available for Europe. Unless
something definite i{s uncovered in the
way of peace, they believe that the
strong cash situation again will come to
the front and that purchases should be
made on breaks.
“Cash corn handlers say it looks as
though the greater part of the grain
offered in Central Illinois at 92¢ to 95¢c
had been cleaned up and that it will
‘take higher prices to bring out any ma
}lerlll quantity.”

NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 11.—Liverpool
is merely folowing the lead of the
American markets and made a full re
sponse to our decline yesterday, quot-
In‘ spots 26 points lower; sales 8,000
bales.
London says the entente reply to the
President's peace note has been handed
to the American Ambassador, so wa
ought to get it ghortly. On its ténor
much will derend on defining political
views of the future and consequent ac
tion by speculation. llf it shoud be a
flat refusal of peace offers, pessimism
would be enhanced and lead to pressure
in the markets, but if it in any way
supports the chance for further peace
negotiations, bullish enterprise would be
stimulated in cotton.
Yesterday's decline was entlrolr _Fm
litlcal, prnmgned on the basis o he
Manchester Guardian's Interpretation of
Mr. Gerard's .‘vrmwh at Berlin In the
light of a warn ng to Germany against
submarine extension. The reactionary
change in the Russian ministry and new
war oan efforts in England were all
claimed by the bear element. |
Lancashire mlllg are, however, 8o
prosperous, according to the following
report to Wuhlngton that a full con
sumption and a hard fight for cotton
seems a certainty,
Dry goods reports continue bullish.
Pacific coast clears 17,000 bales to Ja
pan, making 33000 bales so far this
week, which will go into the count of
spinners’ takings tomorrow,
Our market opened about 10 points
down, but recovered the loss promptly
on buylns based on the discount of fu
tures under spots. However, further
selling followed on the expectation of
more pressure from Wall street on polit
feal pessimism. This rrflsure appeared
toward the close of the first hour and
was evidently extended to Liverpool,
where the dec'ine reached 37 golnts for
the day, while our market roke to
around 17.50 for March.
The actual facts of the situation are
as bullish as ever. Epots are firmly held
and it is not likely that a situation,

Wheat Advances 3 to 4 Cents,
Efforts to Break Values Futile
Corn and Oats Higher.
CHICAGO, Jan. 11.—Wheat opened %
to Il%c lower today on heavy seliing,
but later offerings were absorbed by
commission houses and May advanced
2Y%c from the early low.
Traders in corn sold on the early
break in wheat and prices were in‘!ht
ly lower than yesterday’s close after
opening fractionally higher. Commission
holtlxiue‘; took the buying side after wheat
rallie
Oats were a shade firmer at the open
ing on scattered buying of a featureless
character. Provisions were lower on
light trading.
All the grain markets on the Board
of Trade closed in complete control of
the buls today. Those on the bear side
of the various cereas made a strenuous
effort to hammer values tc a level where
there would be little {f any recuperation,
and, while they were successful in fore
ing prices downward, they were unab e
to hold them there, as the buying pow
er developed sharply on all weak spots.
~ Wheat closed at advances of 3to 4c;
corn was up 1% to I%c, and oats were
| 3% to %c higher.
_ Cash sales here were: Wheat, 40,000
bushels; corn, 10,000 bushels, and oats,
I 50,000 bushels,
- Hog products were 10c to 25c lower,
with pork the weakest spot of the list.

Logan & Brine: “We advocats the

ing strong periods.”

Bartiett, Frazier & Co.: “Wednes
day's break puts the wheat market in
a technically stronger position and g“eo
rumors, in our opinion, will have nothing
but a temporary effect on values, Corn
