At that figure they showed a gain

ton they had taken ln. Their ablllty
to do thls was doubted by the majorlty
of traders, however. and the subsequent
developments proved these doubtR to
bo well founded. They were based
prlnclpallv on the bellef that the at?
tractlve prices rullng would draw the
early cotton from the South In huge
volume. and such soon proved to be
the case.
The planters were sald to be orter

For a short tlme the leadlng bulla

the welght of the so-called diatress
cotton became too heavy and these
prices were forced back 20 polnts, tiie

Bellevers in lower prices state that
even lf the crop ultlmately proves tj
be a small one, the early movement
will be on such a huge seale that a
further break in the nearby dellverles
ls lnevltable. Regardlng the more re

feature of the sult will be taken up
early next week. lt ils announced by
attorneys for Mr. Post. The action
grows out of the meeting held ln Cln?

wero porfected between Qompers and
hls assoclate. and the offlcers of the
stove company to have llfted the boy

Head-Off Action.
The complalnant states ln his petl
tlon that he Ib a stockholder of the
Bucks Company, and that hls Interests
and those of the company w.ill suffer
by reason of the proposed agreement.
A meetlng between tho American Fed?
eratlon leaders and the stove company
offlcers has been set for next Tuesday,
and lt was to head off posslble action
that the sult was flled to-day.
It Ib clalmed, among other things.
tbat the consummatlon of the pro?
posed agreement would deprlve the
stove company of any opportunity of
recovenlng hundreds of thousands of
dollars lost because of the union boy
cott. and that irreparable lnjury to
the concern will result because of tho
destruction of prestige it galnert
through Its victory over the labor
unlons ln the Dlstnlct of Columbia
courts. A claim for damages In the
the result of the boycott, is set up
under the Sherman act, making the
case identlcal ln many respects with
the famous Danbury hat sult, in wh,ich
the hatters recovered $225,000 as the
result of a boycott by the labor unlons.
Chnrge AgalnHt Directors.
The petitlon charges that the pres?
ent directorate of the Bucks Company
ls about to enter a deal to thwart any
efforts on the part of ihe company
to collect damages sustalncd through
the boycott.
Following the death of J. W. Van
Cleave, who had been the backbone of
the company's opposition to the feder
ation leaders, lt is alleged, Fred XV.
Gardlner, a majorlty stockholder, as
sumed managerial control of the com?
pany, and planned to change its pollcy
to Us detrlment.
The petltloner clalms he made every
effort to prevent a consummatlon of
the proposed deal to close the plant of
the company to all except unlon men,
but that the net result of hls efforts
has been to gain from Mr. Gardlner
the emphatlc announcement that the
deal wll] be carrled out.
It is further alleged that lt ls pro?
posed by the defendant company's
present directorate to vlolate a con?
tract wlth the American Antl-Boycott
Assoclation, whlch is prosecutlng tho
cases agalnst Gompers and hls asso
ciates, now pendtng in the Supremo

cases for not havlng tho proper Ucense,
for not havlng life-presorvers and flre
extingulshers, and for not havlng the
proper llghts. In some lnstances, boat
owners were fined for carrylng more
passengers than the capaclty of the
boats would warrant. Those flnes, aa
far as can bo ascertalned. range from
$100 to $750, the heavlest fine, it ls sajd,

probable that all the othor stocks of

stand the same revislon as was made

gold, however, wore reduced ln 1907 by
$135,000,000, and that amount was
taken to represent the gold exported

Passengers Abusing
Transfer System
Attention of the officials of the Virginia
Railway & Power Company has been
called to the practice of some few people
at First and Broad Streets illegally using
transfers. In a letter written by an ob?
server to the company, the writer says:
"I beg to advise you of the practice_ of
passengers illegally using transfers at First
ind Broad Streets. On numerons occa
sions I have noticed passengers coming
off the cars with two transfers and hand
nne to some friend who has been waiting
an the corner for possibly one-half hour.
Then again, I have seen some "good citi
zen?' who has two transfers, one given by
mistake, who will make it his business to
go from one person to another, although
they may be unacquainted," asking them
if they are going in the direction in which J
the transfer is punched. If they say yes, _j
they give them the transfer. This, I havo
seen done by white passengers apparently
in good standing, as well as among the
poorer class of negroes."
It is'such abuses as this that the com?
pany is watching with a view of breaking
up the practice as soon as possible.
