Lesson ot the Plttaburs; Survey.
Reviewing the "Pittsburg Survey'
in an article for the April American
Magarlne, Ida Tarbell says: "This sur
vey Is the most awful arraignment oi
an American institution and its result
ing class pronounced since the days oi
slavery. It puts upon the Pittsburg
millionaire the stamp of greed, of stu
pidity and of heartless pride. But
what should we expect of hlmT He la
the creature of a special prlvllegt
which for years he has not needed.
He has fought for it because he bai
fattened on it. He must have it for
labor. But look at him and look at hii
labor and believe him if you can." In
conclusion she says: "Justice takes a
terrible revenge upon those who thrive
by privilege. The curse ot Justice on
those who will not recognize injustice,
la the sodden mind, the dulled vision,
the unfeeling heart."

Midsummer trade conditions are suf

Improvement In the crops, rathet
better advices as to ultimate outcome
of the leading cereals, easing in prices
of breadstuffs consequent thereon or
because of larger wheat crop move
ment, a good distribution at retail
under the stimulus of clearance sales
and a slight enlargement of fall trade
with jobbers and wholesalers are the
leading features this week. Connected
therewith In some degree are the ad
vices from leading industries of en
largement of output, of a continuance
of the upward tendency In values of
manufactured goods, a larger demand
for money for crop moving purposes,
and a perceptible Increase In the fric
tion visible between employers and
employes in a number of lines. This
latter is a natural phenomena of the
Industrial situation, possibly made
more noticeable this year by reason
of the high level of prices of commodi
ties and the consequent cost of living.
Another rise in the price of crude
rubber to $1.85 per pound an advance
of 37 cents since July 1, and of 91
cents over July 1 a year ago has-"
