Cotton Futures Highest In Six
Years.
A New Orleans dispatch says that
the future cotton market last week
readied the highest point it has at
tained In six years. It was the result
of heavy buying, the bulk of whioh,
according to goealp of the market, came
from groups of traders in New York
and Chicago. More outside interest
was displayed in the situation and there
was fairly good buying from the interior
of the South at times, although late In
the week there was a disposition to take
advantage of the high values prevail
ing and sell hedges against cotton be
ing pioked or about to be picked.
The high levels of the week were
made Wednesday when the distant
months sold up practically to the 16
oent level and October touched 14 33.
Here the trading months were 52 points
over the proceeding week's close. The
buying was based on the growing be
lief that this cannot be a large crop,
owing to the adverse weather condi
tions, particularly drought In Okla
homa.
In a week or two the campaign
spellbinders will be getting busy
helping to save the State. Gam
Morrison, the Democratic nominee
{or elector-at-large, will open hie
campaign at Rockingham, his old
home, next Monday. He will speak
at Fayetteville on August 80th.
DEMANDS OF R. B. TRAINMEN.
Wag* Incraaa* of $100,000,000 a Yaar
Would Hava to Ba Borna by Public.
Thfe train service employes of all
railroad lines In the United States hare
united In a demand for a new basis of
pay for all men engaged In operating
trains, except those in passenger serv
ice. At the present time they are paid
on the basis of ten hours of time or
100 miles of distance, whichever gives
them the higher pay; and every man
receives a full day’s pay, no" matter
how short a time he works.
The trainmen now demand that, in
I all but passenger service, (1) the pres
ent ten hours pay shall be given for
eight hours, or less, with a guarantee
of a full day’s pay, no matter how lit
tie service Is performed; (2) overtime
to begin after eight hours, Instead of
after ten hours, and to be paid for at
one and one-half tim£s the hourly rate.
These, demands would Increase the
hbnrly rate of pay 25 per cent, and the
overtime rate 87Mj per cent
They also Insist that all special extra
pay provisions in the 10-hour schedules
lhall be included In the proposed
8-hour schedule: --...
These special rules frequently give
double pay for the same service, and
enable the employes to earn two and
three days’ pay In a single day of
ordinary working hours.
As the Increase for all the lines la es
timated to amount to $100,000,000 a
year the railroads say that they cannot
pay it unless they are allowed to in
crease freight and passenger rates.
The average wages of the men en
gaged In train service are already very
much higher than those of other em
ployees and they receive 28 per cent of
the total payroll although constituting
only 18 per cent of the whole number
of railroad workers.
