DECISION IN AMERICAN LEAGUE TILT ON THURSDAY New York, Dec. 2-—~The question as to whether the annual meeting of the American league and its board of di- rectors shall be held in Chicago or this city on Dec. 10 will probably be - FINANCIAL AN MARKET WAS ERRATIC. New | York; Dec. 2.<Reflecting the -munu»i and diverse events which in- fluenced its course, the session of the stock exchange today was dull with many confusing and irregular changes of prices, Ad ftrin, by the . government of eign exchange, the sudden death: of H. C. Frick and the president’s mes- sage to congress augmented the un- certainties which previously had ob- scured the financial horizon. As a' market factor the president's communication took precedence. Dis- appointment was expressed in many quarterk at the ahsence of specific ref- erence to remedial railroad legislation. This was partly offset by recommen- dations for the protection of various home industries. Advices from principal manufactur- ing. centers sought to minimize the probable effect of the fuel restrictions, but 1t was not- denied that further curtailment of production and trans- portation would inevitably resnit. Lajest aspects of the Mexican sit- uatien, which were distinctly benefi- clal to_the ofl shares, and the six per cent,. . call money rate, throughout the session, were almost the oply developments which favored trading and these lost some of thyir force Jin the later dealings. So.far as the stock market moved at all, fuctuations of more than moder- ate rapge were limited to such specu- lative favorites as General Motors, Pe- troleums, equipments and leathers.

The Causes of Unrest. T would call your attention to the widespread condition of*nolitical rest- lessness in our body politic. - The causes of this unrest while various and complicated, are _superficial, rather than deep-seated. Broadly, they arise from or are connected with the failure on the part of our government to ar-) venting them from paying for ous ex-|rive speedily at a just and permanent ports and therefore of preventing the|peace, exports from being made. ductivity of the country greatly stim-|radical theories from seeth’ng Europ- ulated by the war must find an out-|ean centers pending such delays, from let by exports to foreign countries,|heartless profiteering resulting in the || nd any measures {aken to prévent im- ports will inevitably curtail permitting 1 conditions, from the transfusion of increase of the cost of living, and lastly from the machinations of pas- sionate and malevolent agitators. With the return to normal conditions this meantime it does much-evil. It seems to me that in dealing with this situation congress showld not - be impatient or drastic, hut should seek. rather. to remove the causes. . It should endeavor to bring our country back speedily to a peace basis, with ameliorated living conditions under the minimum of restrictions upon per- sonal. liberty that, is eons'stent with our reconstruction problems. And it should ‘arm the federal government with power to deal in its criminal courts with those persons who; by violent methods, ;would ahrogate our time-tested institutions. With the free expression of opinion and with the ad- vocacy of - order .nolitical change, however ' fundamental, there must he no interference, but towards passion and malevolence tending - to incite crime andinsurrection-under guise of palitical evolution there should he no leniency. Legislation to this end has been -recommended by the attorney- eeneral ‘and * should be enacted. In this direction I would call your atten- tion to my recommendations on Au- gust 8, peinting out lezislative meas- ures which would be effective. in con- trolling and bringing down the pres- ent high cost of living, which con- tributes so largely to this unrest. .On only one of -those.recommendations has the congress acted. If'the gov- ernment’s campaign is to be effective it is necessary that the other steps suggested should be acted on ‘at once. Extension of Food Control. I renew and strongly urge the‘ngcea— sity of the extension of = the present food control act as to the period of time in which it shall remain in opera- tion. The attorney. general has: sub- mitted a bill providing for an exten-' sion of this act for a period of' six months. As it now stands, it is limited in operation to the period of the war and becomes inoperative upon the for- ‘mal proclamation of peace. It is im- perative that it shounld be extended at once.. The department of justice has built- up extensive machinery for the purpose’of enforcing its provisions; all of which must be abandoned unon the conclusion of peace unless the pro- visions of this act are extended. During this period the congress will have an opportunity to make s§ilar permanent pmovisions and regulations with regard to all goods destined for interstate commerce and to. exclude them from interstate shipment if the requirements of the faw are not com- nlied with. Some such regulation is imperatively necessary. The abuses that have erown vn in the manipula- tion of nrices by the withholding of foodstuffs and other necessaries of life cannot otherwise be effectively “pre- vented. There can be no donht of either the necessity or the legitimacy of such measures. As T pointed out in myv last méssace. nublicity ean accomnlish a ‘great deal in this campaign, The aims of the povernment must be clearly hrought to the attention of the consuming nublic, civie organizations and state officials, who are in a position to.lend their as- sistance to our efforts. You have made available funds with which to carry on this campaign, but there is no pro- vision in the law authoriz‘ng their/ ex- penditure for the purpese: of making the public fully informed ahout ithe efforts of the movernment. Sneeific recommendation has been made hy the attorney ceneral in. this regard. T wonld stronglv urge rnon ¥vouf its im- mediate adeption. as it corstitntes one of the preliminary steps to this cam- paign. Cold Stora~e Ragulation. I also renew. my recommendation that the congress pass a law regulat- ing cold storage as it is regulated. for example, by the laws of the state of New Jersey, vhich limit the time dur- ing which goods may be kept in stor- age, prescribe the method of disposiny of them if Kept beyond the permitted period. and require that goods released from storage shall in all cases bear the date of their receipt. It would mate- rially add to the serviceability of the law,’ for the purpose we now have in | view, if it were also prescribed that an good released from storage for .inter- state shipment should have plainly marked upon each package the selling or market price at which they went I would urge b Dbetter - siuppotrt for country| | ‘Now is a We Stocks Werite for booklet Most Favorable Time for you to obtain an interest in New England industrial concerns which are facing an era of remarkable pros- perity.

By this means the pure chaser would always be able to learn what profits stood between him and the producers or the wholesale dealer.

License of Interstate Corporations. * We should formulate a law requiring a federal license of all corporations engaged in interstate commerce and embodying in the license, or the con- ditions under weich it is to be issued, specific regulations designed to secure competitive selling and prevent uncon- celvable profits in the method of mur- keting, Such a law would afford a welcome opportunity to effect other much needed reforms in the business of interstate .shipments. and in the methods of corporations which are en- gaged in it; but for the moment I confine my recommendations to the object immediately in hand, which is to lower the cost of living. Labor and Capital. No one who has observed the march of events in the last year can fail to note’ the" absolute need of a definite program to bring about an improve- mient in the conditions of labor. There can be no settled conditions leading to increased production and a reduction in the cost of living if labor and capi- tal are to be antagonists instead of partners. Sound thinkinz and an hon- est desire to serve the interests of the ‘Whole nation, as distinguisked from the interests of a class, must be applied to the solution of this great and pressing problem. The failure of other nations to consider this matter in a vigorous wav has produced bitterness and jeal- ousies ‘and antagonisms, the food of radicalism. The only way to keep men from agitating against grievances is to,remove the grievances. An unwin- ‘ngness even to discuss these matters produces only dissatisfaction and gives comfort to the extreme elements in our country, which endeavor to stir up dis- turbances in order to provoke govern- ments to émbark upon a course of re- taliation and repression. The seed of revolution is repression. The remedy for thees things must not be negative in character. It must be constructive. Tt must comprahend the general interest. The real antidote for the unrest which manifests itself is. not suppression, but a deep censid- eration of the wrongs that beset our natipral life and the application of a remedy. Conzress has alread: ingness to deal wrongs by estab. ¥ day. as the standard in every field of labor. It has souglt to find a wav to prevent child labor. Tf has served the whele country by leading the wav in developing the means of preserving and safeguarding lives and health in a dangerons industry. It must now heln in the difficult task of finding a method that will brinz ahout a =ennine demo- eratization of industry based vnon e full recoenition of!the right of these ticipate in some organic wav in everv decisiont which directly affects the! welfare.

Must Put Our Own House in Order. '.l‘he great wnrest throughout the "d as- ahout these who- work, in whatever rank, to rar- | world, out of which has emerged a de- mand for an immediate consideration of the difficulties between capital and labor, bids us put our own house in order. Frankly, there can be no per= manent and lasting settlements be- tween capital and labor which do not recognize the fundamental concepts for which labor has been struggling through the years. The whole world gave its recognition and endorsement to these fundamental purposes in tne league of nations.
