The late Charles “Broad way” Rouse, a picturesque New York character, for many years had a store on lower Broadway. He recruited his employees from the down-and-outers. Their daily > wage was fixed at one dollar. Every evening Ronse stationed himself at the employees' exit with a bag of silver dollars. As each employee passed.

However, wt. changing con ditions have * T brought a woe ful freight of complications which are combining to supplant the cash pay-roll with a new system. The pay-roll check has come into being. The time-honored line filing te diously past the cashier’s window on Saturday afternoon is about to pass into tradition, and the bank check is becoming familiar to thousands who, previously had known only government currency. When the Whistle Blows A feature of the' pay-by-check plan that has met with general fa vor among employees is the distri bution of the pay chicks to the men while they are at their various tasks. The Saturday noon whistle •ends the.week. The pay-roll line has gone. There is no quibbling over errors in amounts. The check speaks for itself. There are no lost pay envelopes, and a lost check BUSINESS AND THE OUTLOOK. Phi'adelphia- Record^ According to the trade review, putting the, pound sterling on the gold basis will do much for business in thiH country, in spite of the fact that such important English economists as j! M. Keynes op pose the immediate adoption of the gold standard there becnjwq they believe thnt it cannot be without "gravest danger to industrial profits and industrial peace'' in England, pointing out that it means a possible struggle to reduce wages, which undoubtedly would be resisted by the workers. Similarly, to illustrate opinions differ, the election of General .Von Hindenburg as President of Germany is in some quarters looked upon as unfavorable to economic recuperation, on thq ground that much of the acquired" momentum for'European ! progress would be lost, while others be- I lieve that his choice by the German peo ple is a harbinger of united and har- I monious effort to solve the difficult ! problems which he will be forced to Memorial Day Race!

A million and a hall dollars stolen and 32 men killed by pay-roll ban dits is the twelve months’ toll that has had tremendous effect In Intro ducing the check plan. Hold-up In surance can ' covqr the loss of money, but there remains the haz ard of life to which business men hesitate to expose their employees. Transportation of large sums of cash through the streets, over high ways or on trains creates a lure to which all too many bandits are anxious to succumb. The lesson of prevention has been driven home to the business man, and the pay roll bandit is finding leaner and leaner pickings.

It iS undoubtedly true that the talk of a boOtn. so generally prevalent after the November election and supposed to be indicated by the Wall street baro meter, is now laid on the shelf. , Four months of the pew year have passed, and nothing of the sort has happened. Such a level-headed observer as Presi dent James A . Camtseil,-of the Youngs town ftheet and express es tlje belief that basic conditions in this country nre sound and that there are no outward developments looming, but. as he expresses it: “The outlook Is a delicate subject to touch. We are watch ing and studying conditions all the time, and sometimes it is difficult to deside just what the immediate future will hold forth.” Nevertheless, Mr. Camp bell’s company has such confidence in the stability of conditions that it has under way an expansion program which involves an expenditure of $15,000,000. Reports to Bradstreet’s for the cur rent week indicate that trade is still merely fair; that is, about equal to a year ago, when recession was unmistak able, and several leading industries, notably soft coal, the metals, some tex tiles and a few building materials, show further contraction in output in various areas. On the favorable side, however, i may be cited a quite marked change for the better in the crop situation, mope particularly in the hitherto drought affected Southwest, where widespread rains have helped trade sentiment and some actunl purchasing. Chiefly because of more favorable wenther reports the tendency of cot ton futures was downward, the slight gain toward the week's end being wiped out in Saturday’s short session. Advices from the dry goods trade note continued quiet in wholesale channels and a retail distribution below expectations. The wool market was depressed still further last jveek- Reports from Australia that 70 per cent, of offerings had been with drawnand that the auction for May 8 had been canceled because of existing low prices furnished much of the ex planation. General leather conditions continue quiet and firm. Wheat prices had a range of 14 3-4 at 17 1-4 cents the past week, and heavy profit-taking gave a somewhat lower range of values following the bulge that nut July wheat to $1.52, the highest figure since March 10, and the Septem ber to $1.44, the highest since March 14. The belief now prevails in some quarters that the Government report will show a higher condition and a pros pective yield larger than 438,000,000 bushels, which is the average of three private estimates put out o>n Friday, t i r ■. Post and Flagg’s Cotton Letter. New York, May 4.—While prices worked off further in the cotton mar ket 'today, following easy cables and the generally satisfactory weather over the week-end, the selling lacked the usual aggressive note and to some extend, al though not fully, was offset by demand from scattered shorts, the trade and New Orleans. Crop advices were not unanimously favorable and reports from some of the eastern textile centers were better, although there is no urgent demand and it is probable that cur tailment will prove necessary in most sections presently to avoid accumula tion of goods. While that will doubtless be interpreted primarily as a bearish argument, it will 'in thd long run be highly salutary for all branches' of the trade, since there has 1 never been any reason for more than merely normal working schedules ami production and anything in excess of that has merely encouraged buyers to hold off waiting for concessions. Actual cotton is hard to find and still harder to bny, even at prices which would mean a heavy Ibsa in bringing it her# for delivery, and spot merchants These are the outstanding ben efits as viewed after the plan has been put Into operation. But some times employers are inclined to hesitate to pay by check out of fear of misunderstanding on the part of employees. Employees’ Viewpoint Often a natural misgiving as to the reason for the change may in fluence the employee, say employ ers. We may be inclined to regard the check as necessitating aa addi tional step in the collection of his pay. Necessity for cashing his check before he is able to spend any part of it may occur to him as a thoroughly practical objection. In actual practice, however, em ployers using the check plan •.I ! 11 say that these <- difficulties a1 - mm. most Invariably ' .7UI disappear when VTfcESj!|E3Bfj the employee finds himself Mffr jjptflfff* Aft. leaving a. por- MH-gY tST tlon o-f his (RTYiShB ~LSW/i check with the flSlßjf•/ •TT'r / savings bank, ! ‘ and when he finds that getting a check cashed in a country where six. billion checks are written annually is a simple undertaking. Changed Attitude Surveys by business organiza tions and large industries have shown that almost invariably, where employees feared to break away from the old pay-envelope system, they have very quickly be come far more emphatic in support of the pay-by-check plan, and would oppose any attempt to pay them in cash. These investigations have fur ther determined that modem check protection methods, safeguarding checks against forgery or altera tion, have definitely established this form of currency in the con fidence of the employee and the public. are urging mills to (urn to the contract stocks for their requirements, as that cotton is just as good ns any left in the south and far cheaper. General business is on a safe and sound basis, with the prospect of further constructive measures that will encour age extension of enterprises. All this relates to the future, however, while for the present > there is no effective cheek to the selling, however, reckless and ex cessive that may appear to the more conservative element of the'actual trade at a time when so little can be actually known as the. exact relation between supply and demand for the coming sea son. It will now, however, after so much sueeess require a major shock to jar the confidence of shorts. During the next 60 days developments regarding both the i crop and trade may favor operators for i the decline, although there is no cer tainty of that and after . thattbe first . ripples of real improvement in trade are likely to appear and crop news prove disappointing.
