Value Of Money.

A. Piatt Andrew of Harvard univer

His final conclusion was with regart
to the influence Of credit that it car
only serve as q substitute for coir
when it exists In transferable forms
The forms Of credit cannot definitely
Settle payments, he said, and they fai
accordingly to make any real or perm
anent extensions of the currency sup
ply For a limited interval they may
make possible more ample trade OF
may support a higher price level, but
in the long run they only serve to en-
large the subsequent demand for ac-
tual currency. They are in no sense
substitutes for money and only rarely
does their existence tend to lower
moneys value.
Union Shop.
Prof. John r. Commons Of the Uni
versity of Wisconsin, in discussing
"The Causes of the Union Shop Pol
ICY" said:
THE union shop is labor's protective
tariff. 1t is necessary where that kind
Of protection is not found. Wages in
government employment depend on
politics and universal suffrage, and do
not need the protection OF the closed
shop. Railway employment is similar
and the railway brotherhoods are pro-
tected by a long line of promotion,
while the scale Of wages is issued as a
general order by the company and ap-
plies to nonunionists as much as to
unionists. The machinists' union,
which is compelled to protect itself
by closed shop agreements in general
manufacturing, makes only open shop
agreements with the railroads. Where
employment is in the hands of small
competing contractors, as in the build
ing and clothing trades, the closed shop
is necessary. The nonunion contractor,
with cheap and imported labor, would
drive the union contractor out OF busi-
ness. In the stove Industry bituminous
coal mines and others, the agreements
are open shop, but this is because the
employers associations are strong and
willing enough to enforce the agree

NEW YORK SCANDAL.
Congress investigates Governors Is.
land Crookedness.

New York, Dec. 29.-Congress will
be called upon to investigate the Gov
ernors island scandal. The charges
made by the special committee are
so essential and involve so many off,
cials that its members declare the war
department could not be an impair
tial tribunal
Officers at the post tonight made
partial admissions of the truth of the
charges, but declared that there must
have been a misunderstanding as to
the use Of the money.
This Is what the committee which
was appointed by a New York state
congressman to Investigate the alleged
irregularities at Governors island
charges In effect:
That officers Of the post misappro-
priated $4,000 for their own comfort
from a fund of $4,000 appointed by
congress for the benefit of the enlisted
men.
The report was forwarded to Wash
ington today. The committee specific
ally sets forth that $4,000 set aside
by the secretary OF war for club
house for the enlisted men on Gov
ernors island had not been used for
the purpose named. The money, 1t de-
clared, was used to build an addition
to the officers clubhouse and to fur
nish and remodle the buildings.
Colonel Henry Heistand, adjutant
to General Wade, admitted that the
money had been expended as the in
vestigating committee charged in It's
report. He said:
1T is possible that the money was
appropriated from the wrong fund.
That is not our fault, but the fault
Of the clerk. The officers Of the post
asked for the appropriation of s4O,-
900 for remodeling and building an
addition to the officers clubhouse and
they got it.
THE plans called for a place where
the commanding general could enter
tain foreign officials and citizens of
New York on state occasions. The en-
tire sum was used as the investigating
committee charges"

featuring plants whose steam making
capacity was greatly reduced by bat

the accumulation OF coke stocks al

The Connellsville output for the next
few weeks promises to be at a record
rate, The week has brought no i'm

eharacterixes the pig iron market in
all centers.
The United States Steel CORPORA
tion is not now considered likely to
purchase Bessemer iron for January
delivery, in view of It's increased coke
production. and the blowing In OF adjl-
tional blast furnaces. No change In pig
iron prices has been made apart from
the Chicago district. where some pro-
ducers are asking so cents ton more.
Southern producers have probably
booked all the iron they can deliver in
the next three months.

been paid for forge iron, this being

LITTLE TURTLE DOVES.
Henry and Susan Declare Marriage a
Failure.

Omaha, Dec. 29.-To a petition fol
divorce, filed by Henry Jones, aged 90
Susan Jones, aged so, has filed q
cross petition wherein she says that
for the first three months Of their
welded life she and her husband lived
happily together, but that at the ex-
piration Of the three months he grew
"grouchy" and morose, driving her
from her own home in the dead OF
night, forcing her to seek shelter with
neighbors and otherwise inficting
cruelties upon her.
She says that finally she entered into
an agreement to leave home on condi-
tion that he should afford her a sepa-
rate maintenance, but that in few
months he violated the agreement and
left her without support. She alleges
that there is now due her under the
agreement several hundred dollars and
she asks the court to give ner this.
Jones asked for a decree of divorce
upon the ground Of cruelty.
Mr.. and Mrs. Jones were married
about two years ago. He is man Of
wealth and is well known here in
business and social circles. The di-
yorce proceedings have attracted con-
siderable attention on account Of the
prominence and advanced age Of the
plaintiff and defendant.

EVERY penny given In tips was cast
into a common fund In charge Of a
waiter elected by his fellows. At the
end of the week the sum was dispib-
uted. Three classes were arranged by
the manager. according to efficiency,

Closed Shop.

John Graham Brooks, president ol
the American Social Science Asso-
citation, read paper entitled "The Is
sue Between the Open and the Closed
Shop" He said In part;
There is little use in discussing this
subject. apart from the temper and
purpose OF the parties involved. A good
many trade unions have used the closed
shop principle and its weapons both
brutality and stupidity. but plenty OF
employers are using the open shop in
a spirit that is probably more danger
Gus to social welfare than the coarsest
ruffianism of the trade unions. Side by
side with these excesses We have open
and closed shops in which business is
conducted with admirable and common
satisfaction. There is not the slight
est danger that the closed shop viii
become universal in this country.
Strong and well disciplined unions do
not need it. Weak and struggling trade
unions may get temporary adyant-
advantage. A large group OF employers
is now making its tilt in the name OF
Liberty but industrial organization
on both sides has introduced something
so like a revolution that we do not
know what liberty means as applied
to a specific industry like garment
making in the overfiowing market
which low class labor offers through
immigration in place like New York

have won the open shop. but II II
should be found that petty, warning
contractors could not be controlled;
that wages should be cut and hours
heightened, is that consistent with
liberty and true Americanism?' II

forego some aspects of personal feel

In industrial conditions like these,
we are not to be comforted by any un-
ctuous rhetoric about Americanism
and freedom. For any formal limita-
tion of this freedom there may be con-
ceivable the amplest compensation. In

Views on Money.

Chicago. Dec. sg-Prof. Lawrenc,
Laughlin of the University of Chicago
in discussing "The Theory of Price
today said:
AS a rule price Is the outcome Of
conditions antecedent to the formal aet
of exchange of goods in the market
for any forms of money. The amount
of purchasing power is not synonymous
with the amount of the medium of ex.
change in circulation but corresponds
rather with saleable goods. Very often
the media Of exchange are credited as a
consequence of the transactions in
goods.
Hence they can have no effect on
the making of prices. All the elemen;
touching the acquisition of an article
Qabor, material. etc.) the intensity OF
demand for 1t from consumers. the in
fiuence of monopoly conditions-all
these are in constant operation in de-
termining prices which will be settled
upon by the seller and the buyer. When
these forces have done their work and
a price has been fixed in the markets,
the goods thus valued in terms OF
standard (gold) are actually exchanged
by some medium of exchange. which in
these days is seldom the standard COM
modify.
ITO me. therefore. the other quality
theory was an improper application of
the law of demand and supply, since II
treated only of the demand for and the
supply of money (and did not even
define this money as regulating the
general level of prices. while 1t omitted
all conditions of the forces on the good
side of the price ratio"
Credit System.
Prof. David Kinley of the Universit.'
of Illinois read paper on THE Rela-
tion of the Credit System to the Value
Of Money" In speaking of the in
fiuence Of the credit system on prices
he took the ground that. In general. a
business community will make its ex-
chaneg with credit or by money, accord
ing as one or the other is cheaper at the
time. saying that the credit system is
really a regulator of prices and allows
changes in the supply of money. An
additional supply Of money, moreover.
which by itself would tend to make
prices rise rapidly. stimulates credit
and thereby increases business so that
the demand for means of exchange is
in time increased and the upward trend
Of prices is retarded. Considered
through long periods of time, he said,
the influence Of credit under the mod
ern system of production is to cause
a gradual fall of prices. The more the
credit system is extended, the cheap
er the exchange by credit becomes to
society, the longer is the price level to
fall.
