CHICAGO; 111.. Sept. 5a Th week's

believes that tbe companies not th

Tbe average annual income per em-

but lt Ie-euiher It was at the rata of

"The third feature In bolatering up the
confidence of th stock 'gamblers i is
tbair belief that the managers of the
stU i corporations know more shout

They believe that th corporation -heads
can make a more accurt guess tf what
the steel employe desire and what they
will accept than th union labor chief a
