COST ACCOUNTING.
Its Value to the Manufacturer Told by
Monumental News.

At time when so much is being said
about the importance of a better knowl-
edge of the cost of doing business in
both branches Of the monument indus
try, it is interesting to note what has
been going on in other lines. For sew
eral years past this subject of cost &C.
counting has been agitated in the agri-
cultural implement trade, and much
good has resulted, particularly among
the small dealers, who have been greatly
enlightened as to the methods for arliv.
ing at the actual cost of doing business.
Some short time ago The American
Printer" offered prizes for the most ac-
curate estimate on printing job, and
l0l estimates were received; the lowest
estimate Of cost to the customer was
SIT IS. the highest Sl03.59. The actual
cost was found TO be S60.50. In com
menting upon the conditions which these
estimates display, the paper says: "We
have printers from 20 states so sure that
they can estimate accurately that thcy
unhesitatingly enter public contest,
and yet what sad exhibition of want
of knowledge those results disclose.
Those who estimated too high are as ig-
norant of the cost facts as those who
were too low. Ii is almost as harmful
to the general interests of the printing
trade to overcharge as to undercharge"
II will be seen by the foregoing that
printers vary as much in their estimates
as the manufacturers of granite mUnu.
ments do, and to overcome this the
printers have been holding a number of
what are called cost congresses for the
discussion of this all.important matter.
II would greatly help the situation at
the granite quarrying centers if exper,
cost accountants were employed by the
associations to study the
question, and formulate simple plan Of
the actual cost OF finished
work that would make the
matter of overhead charges so plain that
he least informed men now employed in
.he business would profit by it. The
Barre manufacturers have done well in
heir efforts to establish more uniform
PRICES; they should now go further end

preserve the souvenirs, possibly for flu
ture use.
The incident" is of interest principal
ly for the reason that the positions held
by Gompers and Kelly are representa-
tive which is more particularly the case
with one of them. On several occasions
he has been an honored guest at the
White House, and at other times and
in other places he has been the recipient
of tributes to his consequence as the
leading exponent of the cause OF which
he is so redoubtable a champion. II
may be added that he has taken occa-
sion to show as much contempt for the
highest tribunal in the land as for the
national emblem itself.
While it is difficult to imagine what
future USE the war department can
make of the pictures, there should be no
trouble in anticipating some of the con-
sequences TO Gompers and Kelly. Ger
tainly they should be barred admission
TO the White House, Equally as mat
ter of course should ostracism await
them elsewhere. but one Of the surest
results should be action by every labor
union in the country. For surely there
is nothing that they will not tolerate
if they will not resent an insult to the
flag committed in their name. They
organize drumhead courtmar-
tial, but they can at least impose the
penalty of dismissal from the service.

THORSCH'S RECORD PR0BED

indianapolis, Ind, Jan. 5.--Though
every effort was made by detectives yes
terday to hide the whereabouts of Frank
Eckhoff of Cincinnati, it was understood
he was in the city and ready to appear
before the federal grand jury to tell
his story about men alleged to have
been associated with John j. and James
h Mcnamara and Ortie +. McManigal
in dynamiting depredations over the
country.
Eekhoff, confdant of John j. MeNa-
mara, has been for weeks guarded by
Detective William j. Burns assistants
against contact with persons alleged to
be interested in sealing his lips.
Interest in the reported business con-
nection of Samuel Gompers and former
Mayor Charles A. Bookwalter. alleged
by Detective Burns TO have significance
in Mr. Bookwalter's dropping his dyna-
hitting inquiry two years ago, is follow
ing Burns to Philadelphia. He arrived
there late yesterday and, it is believed,
examined the labor union affiliations of
Hugo Thorsch, who, prior to seven years
ago, published labor paper in Phil
adelphia. He now is associated with
BO0kWalteT III Jllt printing urn IN Which,
according to Burns, Gompers was con-
cerned.
Thorsch, in statement yesterday de-
nying partnership with Gompers or seek
ing the labor leaders influence in get
ting printing contracts with unions, said
the reason he moved his business from
Philadelphia to Indianapolis seven years
ago was that the national union of car
penters and ioiners transferred its head
quarters. He had obtained printing or
ders from Frank Duffy, secretary of the
carpenters union in Philadelphia, and
he was advised, he said, that other labor
organizations proposed to initiate the
carpenters and move their head Offices
to Indianapolis. Duffy was treasurer
Of the Mcnamara defense fund board.
Said Thorsch: II never got any bus
mess from the iron workers, though
often asked John ]. Mcnamara for print
ing work"
AT none of the various national I'M
ion headquarters in this city yesterday
was affirmation issued of Bookwalter's
statement he told "a score of national
labor leaders" his investigation of local
explosions had conclusiyely exposed the |
guilt Of Mcnamara a year before the |
Los Angeles disaster.

| Packing company at Kansas City, AMI
most of them were identified and their
contents explained by him. The witness
was even more deliberate in answering
questions than he was on the previous
day He weighed each question with
great care and spoke slowly in making
his answers. Mr.. Miles reiterated his
declaration that the sole object of the
old packers pool was to control ship,
ments with view Of preventing the
Cutting of the market with fresh meat.
He added that the use of uniform test
cost was absolutely necessary. Counsel
for the government are disappointed at
the showing made by Miles on the wit
ness stand, as it was expected that he
would reveal important secrets Of. the
alleged combination.
At the opening of court, Special Colln-
sci Sheean introduced in evidence lengthy
statements showing that the volume of
business done by Armour & Co. for l41
weeks in the period between 1898 ana
1902, was slightly less than that done
in a preceding period Miles analysed
the figures and explained the basis of
percentages and margins used by the
packers in compiling their statistics.
"Do you know of instances where sew
eral members of the combination were
shipping to the same point, that the
members agreed to either increase or
decrease the volume of their shipments ?"
asked Attorney Sheean.
"Yes, | remember one case. Armour
had cooling houses at Hazleton, Pa, and !
they agreed to limit shipments to that
point to prevent flooding the market"
The witness was shown copy of an
unsigned letter addressed to C. W. Ar |
mour of the Armour Packing company |

seen before. ne however, was un0ble |
to explain all the figures in regard to
shipments but said he believed it had

nation in Chicago.
did you ever see that letter in the

an.
Counsel for the defendants instantly
were on their feet to object, and they
were sustained by the court. The wit
