Hie New York Evening Sun financial review today said: There was a little more animation in today's stock market, but what initative there was, was on the selling side. Because of prevailing uncertain ties some timid holders were anxious enough to reduce their holdings to of fer them at a sacrifice, but for the same reason very few buyers even at bargain prices, were to be found. Recessions of one to five points were recorded in the industrial list and of a fraction to three points or more in the railroad department. New Haven and Delaware and Hudson touched new low record prices, the one for all time and the other for something like twenty years. The fact that the bear element was moved to exert pressure wherever there was a sign of weakness was attributed to talk of Bethlehem Steel financing. The B. stock sold down to a new level on this movement, below 10S, a loss of over five pionts and the A stock re acted two points. This, however, had a depressing effect on theo ther steel shares which lost a point or more.

Stationed pre cisely where they were wnen the con flict began, the White Sox and Eed Sox were scheduled today to open the second day 's work on their coleetively owned task of scaling the Ban John son heights. Grasping themselves firmly bv their bootstraps and boosted by Urban Fa ber, the Chicagoans hoisted themselves for a moment beyond immediate dan ger of the lied hosed athletes, but the ascent was greased and the westerners took the slide with the usual thud at the end- 1 Whether odds should now favor 'the White Sox is a question for the re mainder of their hurling corps is a snaky structure. If Hob Russell is right ho is ruliy capable of hauling the red flag down. If lie isn't, he is a great teal like the littlo urn with a curl no's horrid. Ulio same sentiment an plies to Joe Benz.

White Sox Fans not Happy Chicago, Aug. 21. Fans hopefully awaited the third game of the itca Sox-Whito Sox series this morning, al though weather conditions were any thing but reassuring. Rain threatened throughout the morning. ' Manager Barrv was expected to pitch Ruth, who finished the second gamo yesterday. Leonard also was a possibil ity. Rowland no doubt will send Wil liams or Scott in for the White Sox. White Sox fans today were not alto gether happy over the division of the spoils in yesterday's doubleheadcr. The second game, which was lost after be ing called in the eighth on account of darkness, was started on wet grounds following an interruption by rain in the first game of more than an hour. The umpires decided the grounds were all right and are getting the blame tor the loss today. Made 199 Out of 200 Chicago, Aug. 21.

More Nutritious titan Bread ags ah elrnil nggig' to Eat Or&e Cent TO GET WAGE INCREASE Increase Will Be Granted In Each Yard As Its Present Agreement Expires Washington, Aug. 21. A nation-wide strike in steel shipyards working on government contracts will be prevented by wage increases paid by the govern ment. In his first clash with organized labor or war work, Uncle Sam will recognize the claim that increased cost of living warrants a higher wage scale. This developed today from the diffi culties into which the requisition of snip construction enmeshed the ship ping board. Shipyard owners whose con tracts have been taken over by the gov ernment refused to make new wage agreements with the International Metal Trades union until the shipping board approves the incrased wage scales The final decision is to be- left to a special commission of three members, one appointed by President Wilson, one by President Gompers of the American Fderation of Labor and the third mem ber to be appointed by the shipping board. Officials of the government and the Enclosed find $3.00. Send me the Capital Journal aud Western Farmr for ona yar. Name P. O.

The new scale is an advance of more than fifty cents a day in some cases. The daily wage of these men will be six dol lars and upwards. Over eight hours work will be at time and one half rate. The increase ' will be granted in in dividual yards when present union agreement is now in effect at a ship building center, the case will be sub mitted to the proposed commission. The New York shipyards strike may be settled before the special commission plan is put into effect. The union is cleaning up the situa tion on the Pacific coast before turning; its full attention to the Atlantic sea board. The agreement with San Fran cisco yards expires September 15. An agreement is being sought in Portland. The Seattle yards may furnish the first example of a government wage in crsase, as shipbuilders there whose con tracts were taken over by the shipboard put the new wage scale squarely up 'to the board.
