URGED FOR SAKE OF
MACHINERY TRADES
M. A. Hudson, Of This City,
Tells Chairman Prouty
Business Men of Country
Agree in Favoring Rail
road Rate Advance.

WASHINGTON, Nov. PA report OF
q personal investigation Of manufacturing
conditions made by ". A. Hudson, Of
Philadelphia, IN a tour of the country,
is made in communication to Charles A.
Prouty, chairman of the Interstate Com
merce Commission.
Mr. Hudson, who is vice president of the
]. q. Lonergan Company. manufacturers
OF boiler, steam and gas engine specialties,
2l1-t5 Race street, Philadelphia, declares
that the railroads should be permitted TO
advance their freight rates, as an Inn
portant factor in insurng q revival Of
the machinery business. which, he says is
at its lowest ebb in q quarter of a CEN
tury.
Mr.. Hudsons letter follows:
November 10, 1914.
Hon. Charles A. Prouty. Interstate
Commerce Commission, Washington,
u. c.
Dear Sir: 1t is with great interest
that 1 have read your address before
the National Association OF Railway
Commissioners in regard to the i'm
portance of ascertaining the value of
all public carriers properties, and l
concur with you in your opinion, but,
while this extensive investigation is
under way, 1 certainly think that the
railroads as a whole ought to receive
the advanced freight rates necessary
for them to progress
am a comparatively small manufac-
turer, a Democrat, and voted for Will
son. But enough of politics.
1 returned n short time ago from
quite an extensive trip over the coun-
try, and to n man every manufacturer
when interviewed, nearly all of whom
were in engine specialties or kindred
lines, were most decidedly of the
opinion that what general business
needed more than anything else was
the Increase in freight rates given to
the railroads, and 1 know they were
sincere.
We read about prosperity in the
newspapers-thls may be, and In all
probability is true in some lines of en-
deavor-but In machinery and kindred
lines the state of business is the most
deplorable 1 have seen in % years
business experience. 1 will give you
few facts and figures which can be
easily proven:

The play made out Of the Glass stories

comprehensive It scintillates with
laughs; breezes along so naturally and
smilinely and good-naturediy that
amusement and satisfaction go hand In
hand It is true that neither Ibsen nor
BrieuN could have written Potash and
Pcrimutter" II is equally true that the
Glass play is Infinitely human--not high
brow, perchance-but appealing to the
average. everyday being.
The characters of Potash and Perlmut-

perbly drawn. They stand revealed as
In llfe--uncouth, yes: lacking education,
yes. But with all their faults we cannot
help loving them--but not still. Their
humor Is clean, laugh-producng. II may
as well be said now that there is moth
ing In the play, from the rise Of the cur
tain until It descends all too soon, to
which even the most rahld Jew could
take exception. Barring perhaps Boris
Andrieff. the prosecuted Russian, the
characters ring true. He is too good to
be true-too oily.
The episodes OF the play abound IN
ehucSles, smiles. laughs and roars. They
galiop along from one ridiculous climax
and ant-climaN to another. But withal
there is an evcr-present undercurrcnt OF
that mlsused term, heart-interest. Ruth

OF the others in the cast It may be
said that, with one or two exceptions, they |
were worthy of the three stars. Ralph

unctuous; Leo Donnelly, Mozart Rab-

The weak spots in the cast were Blanche

Mrs. Potash. The former never struck

TO TEST ALIEN LABOR LAW
Courts Will Pass on Act Which Has
Tied Up New York Subway Work.

NEW YORK, Nov. A-Members of the
Public Service Commission and represen-
tatives of the subway contractors and
labor unions of this city have agreed to
test the constitutlonality of the law for
bidding employment of alien labor in the
building of the city's new subways. The
contractors say they cannot obtain enough
American citizens, but John Gill, busi-
ness agent OF the Bricklayers Union, has
arranged with the municipal employment
bureau to issue an appeal for citizen
laborers.
All Americans now out of jobs who
want work at SO for an eight-hour day
are requested to register at the employ
ment bureau. GIL says there are at
least 25,0OO idle American citizens ready
TO do any kind of honest work for living
wages.

War Causes an Increase of From

Advances in the prices of aItomo-
Bile 81, es have just been announc-
ed bv the B Goodrich Co., and
it IS known that practically all the
other big manufacturing companies
have also advanced their prices,
or will 10 so within few days.
The direct increase in the cost OF
rubber tires a'one will be from
IL 1-2 to 80 Fer cent, with the
future of the trade remaining m
speculative darkness. The big
rubber producing regions of the
world are in South America and
the East Indies. and the greatest
amount passes through Lonc"n,
where the price # rubber for the
world is usually fixed.
The Goodrich Company has 1ais-
ed its prices on ali automobile tires

ing, and it was stated last night
that other Manufacturers hal aG-
