the statement that Allan Calhoun of
Middlebury, who is just beginning his
third year as State inspector of factories,
expresses himself as greatly pleased
with the way owners of large manu-
featuring establishments are living up
to the laws which require protection of
gears and belts, removal Of projecting
set screws, and improved sanitary con-

things for the general safety OF work
men. Mr.. Calhoun is finding many i'm

HARDWARE J0BBERS TO
HANDLE AUTO PARTS
tsv MORNING JOURNAL SPECIAL LEASED wipri

San Francisco, May 26.--Distribu-
ton of automobile parts now in the
hands of their manufacturers and
specially houses, is TO be undertake
en- by American heavy hardware job
bers. A resolution to this effect was
adopted here today in an executive
session of the convention Of the
American Iron, steel & Heavy Hard
ware association.
John G. Purdie of New York, Sec
retary of the association, said this
action by the association meant the
elimination of the garage and special
automobile repair man, and the re-
habilitation of the American country
and city blacksmith snop, defunct
business since the automobile ousted
the horse-drawn vehicle. Another
result" he said, ''will be that the
country and city retail hardware man
will sell automobile parts and tires.
American manufactures" he add
cd. will be only too glad to turn
their goods over to the jobbers."
Mr.. Purdie expressed the opinion
that the promised displacement OF
the garage will mean lower repair
nrices on automobiles.

Washington, May a6.-The so
called five per cent" clause of tho

ties to thai amount on goods import
cd In American ships was sustained to-
day by the customs court of appeals
which held also that the per cent

Moreover, il was pointed out that
the decision, if II stands the test In the
supreme court, is retroactive TO the
extent that il applies TO importations
into the United States since the APP
proval OF the Underwood Simmons
law more than two years ago, inelUd-
ing goods entered in bond and prob
ably withdrawn without payment OF
this rebate.
Government officials realize that
the decision may have profound ef-
feet upon the financial policy Of the
United States.

ance in the treasury Is under l5,000,-

available to be added to this if necces-
sary. With an announced deficit in the
postal revenues and no increases In
internal revenue or customs receipts
now in sight, talk of the necessity for
an issue Of Panama canal bonds was
revived in view of the prospect of re-
duced customs revenues and the ne
cessty of refunding millions already
collected. The payment of some $780,
000,00 into the treasury due from
the income tax, however, is counted
on to delay any such emergency for
several months.
