Houston, Texas, Oct. 17,—In his
talk before the Rotary Club at the
weekly luncheon at the Rice Hotel
today, Congressman Joe Eagle, who
has just returned from Washington,
declared In substance that organized
labor is In a fair way to cut Its own
throat by the extreme measures that
are being resorted to In movements
now on foot. He referred to the re-
adjustment of financial matters,
which, ho said, are sure to come, and
called attention to the utterance of
Samuel Oompers. to the effect that
regardless of the restoration to pre-
war condition In other respects, labor
will not hear to reductions In wages.

In response states: "It is my opin

the minimum provided for therein ap-
plies to the entire State for the re-

sion whatever in the statute referring
to localities or territories, and all
provisions of the statute relate to a

All hands go up. Everybody knows, i
j A $2o piece, of course.
I But everybody's wrong. Tho blg-
H I gest gold piece weighs 30 pounds, and
I its value is $7,200.
i It is a brick of gold, just about tho
9 length and width of an ordinary
1 building brick, but not so thick.
I Bankers use these bricks exten-
I I sively to settle balances, and exports
I of gold are commonly made in this
B shape.

figures aro published) the mints of
I Philadelphia, San Francisco and Dan-
ver, and the New York assay office
I manufactured $181,000,000 wortli of
I i these gold bricks.
I One may judge, then, how widely
I they are used. You can buy one or
3 more of them ut any ot the mints or
I subtreasuries If you have the money
ft to pay for them.
s The treasury estimates that about

--are one-tenth copper, whereas the
~Tj bars are pure gold—i. e., .999 "fine,’’

|| If you want to buy a gold brick
II from Uncle Sam you must pay for It
in gold bullion or in gold coin. But
this Is not a difficulty, because, now
that the war is over, you can get gold
coin at the hanks or at any sub-treas-
ury iu exchange for paper money.
Gold bullion, as it reaches the mints
from the mines, contains impurities
