The companies made jio nttempt to
run cars, ana worucrs uepenncn on

officials of the street railway companies
reached an agreement to fix the wages

would avert a walknut. but at a mass

The employes demand eighty-live

Six thousand of the surface and ele

.N the effort to get more foreign trade,
American business men are making a
lot of false motions at this moment.
One great concern sent its ablest salesman to South
America; and he did what? Nothing. He looked on the
world as his oyster and he tried to open the oyster with
an axe.
The Boss's son just out of college received his baptismal
fire and succeeded; the story, stranger than fiction, is of
importance to the man interested in foreign trade, and its
mystery and adventure will entertain any business man.
The Nation's Business is not a magazine of foreign trade. But it
realizes that foreign trade will rnaKe our domestic business pay
dividends or thow a deficit which spells prosperity or depression
for each of us.
And there are a dozen other articles in this number of
dollar-and'cenls value to the man who realizes his busi
ness is a national, word-wide proposition, not merely a
local, affair.
