retail clothier, each must have his own
special system. But it is true that
great many of these forms could be
adapted for use in lines other than those
for which they are originally intended,
as certain fundamental principles UNDER
lie the general structure of accountancy
and must be recognized by each group.
"The fact must be admitted that in
order to put a selling price on your
products you must, if you be a manufac-
turer, fri;t know exactly what it costs
you to manufacture and sell them.
| When business was done on large per-
centage of profit, this was not so essen
| tial, but in most lines of industry to-
| day the large percentage of profit has
passed. We are working on smaller
margin, and we must absolutely know
what our goods cost ANY old and out
of-date method of arriving at cost fig.
ures, with our margins of profit so close,
must be eliminated.
1T il a fact well understood among
business men that the general demorali-
cation in a large number of industries
has been caused by firms who cut prices,
not knowing what their goods actually
cost to manufacture; and the cost of
selling, which is equally important, is
almost wholly lost sight of.
How can the federal trade commits
sion help cure these conditions BY no
compulsory me - DDS. The commission
has no power and no desire to use such
methods. But the commission does hope
to reach the desired end by putting at
H. af ha MAJ tfar ~ and
merchants who have not had the expert
ence or advantages that larger firms
possess. the accountants, bookkeepers,
and experts in cost of production that
are employed by the commission, and in
that way to help strengthen American
industries where shey are weak. These
services will be rendered only on the
request of the individual merchant or
manufacturer who desires them.
I'm European countries, manufacture
ers and merchants, aided by their gov
ernments, have developed a high state
of efficiency, which enables them to sell
their goods in the markets of the world.
The federal trade commission desires
to do what il can to help bring the
American manufacturers and merchants
on equal terms with these foreign COM
petitors, in order that we may be able
TO get and hold our share OF foreign
trade.
when there is completed within the
commission the organization for aiding
business, any manufacturer or merchant,

CHICAGO STRIKE OVER.
Compromise Settlement Affects 10000
Union Carpenters.

Union Carpenters.
Chicago, July r. The strike Of 10000
union carpenters, which for nearly two
months has paralyzed the building in.
dustry in Chicago, is over. Settlement
on all points at issue was reached early
Saturday after committees representing
the carpenters, building construction EN-
ployers' association, and building mate
rial interests had been locked In confer
ence since 2o'clcck Friday afternoon.
The carpenters were ordered to return
TO work at ono. =
The agreement reached provides that
the men shall receive 20 cents an hour
and that they acSept what l. called a
uniform agreement which viii pre-
vent strikes and lockouts. The agree
ment il for three years, dating from
May a. II provides for closed shop,
and also stipulates that there shall be no
restriction regarding the source Of build
ing material, whether il is manufac-
tured in Chicago or elsewhere.
The settlement was regarded by both
sides a. q compromise. The carpenters
had demanded Gliding wage scale Of
20 cents for tho fret year. 72is cents for
the second, and IS cents for the third
year. The men, previous 70 the strike,
had been paid IS cents en- hour.

ADDITIONAL CREDITS;
BETTER SYSTEMS
Are Two Important Features of Plan
Suggested as Aid to Building Up
Of American Business.

Washington, d. c., July l0.--Vice
Chairman Edward n. Hurley of the fed
eral trade commission, in statement to-
day suggesting plans by which the com
mission may give constructive help to
American business, emphasized two
methods which he considered of particu.
lar Importance.
One Of these" said Mr.. Hurley, in
his statement, lis to aid the business
IN of the country in obtaining the
az .tional credits to which their BUSH
ness operations may entitle them. The
second is to aid in establishing a stand
ard system of bookkeeping and cost
account The two are interdependent."
The commission has in mind, Mr.. Hur-
ley announced, dividing the country into
zones and maintaining in each experts
in accounting, costs and manufacturing
upon whom manufacturers, merchants,
and business men may call for advice
and assistance in establishing econo-
mics.
1.-THE small manufacturer, the country
storekeeper, and the retail merchant as a
rule he said, do not get all the banks
credit that they ought to receive, owing
to the fact that they are unable to pre-
sent balance sheets in accordance with
good business practice. These men are
Just as good business men in many re-
spects, as those of larger operations.
They have brains, ability, knowledge of
their wares and of their customers, but
they do not speak the language of the
banker in that they are not able to pre-
sent a statement showing their true as
sets and liabilities.
Frequently a business man with a
credit of a few hundred dollars at his
bank, based wholly on personal grounds,
could, if he could produce a reliable bal
,nce sheet, readily obtain several thou
sand dollars, which would enable him
10 expand his business along sound lines.
Failing TO obtain it, his business is linn
ted and confined.
Bankers are in business TO loan
money to business men, and recognize |
hat loans made on balance sheets that |
ire sound are desirable loans. The bank !
II will welcome any standard of state !
nent that will permit him easily TO
scertsin the exact liabilities and assets
# his customer.
ut is recognized that no one standard
orm of accounting can be applied 10 all
lasses Of business, and that special
orms must be devised for each group
r class of commerce and industry. For
xsmple. the coal industry can use one
tsndard system Of accounting. Among
theirs, the country store and general
tore retailer, the wholesale grocer, the
GOT and shoe wholesaler. the boot and
hoe retailer. the drug store. the manu-
acturer Of textiles, the manufacturer of
Machinery, the wholesale clothier, the

BETHEL.
Locals Defeated BY /. A. c. Second Team
of Barre, 3 to 2.

|
An exciting game OF baseball on Kee
her field Saturday was won by the /. A
q. second team of Barre by a score OF
3 TO 2. The locals Tailed once in the
eighth and once in the ninth after Fin
negan had held them in the seventh with
none out and men on second and third
In the ninth, Captain Emery failed to
score from third on muifed ball and
the hopes of tying the score faded away.
This same player distinguished himself,
however, with double and single in
a light hitting game and played good
| fielding game, after 20 years OF local
career on the diamond. The other big
hitters could do little with Finnegan's
delivery, except NoDle, who hit out a
clean single in the ninth besides reaching
second base from the plate in the fourth
on an error. The pitchers were evenly
matched and both were we'll supported.
Lavelle was somewhat wild and allowed
two hits in the eighth and this, combined
with two passed balls, netted the visitors.
two runs and was the locals only bad
inning. Catcher Williamson had finger
put out and this caused one of the passed
balls. IL was after this that Bethel did
its scoring and nearly prolonged the
game to extra innings. In the eighth
Williamson was given his base, stole sec
ond, took third ON wild pitch and scored
on poor throw. In the ninth hit and
two errors brought in Noble and after
Emery's out at the plate, George Burrell,
pinch hitter, actually reached third on
errors and a steal, but could not score,
as Tenney and Layelle were out at first.
Thus Bethel had three men on third in
the ninth inning but could score only
once. Catches of hard flies in the out |
field were credited to Corbett, Putnam |
and Noble of the locals and Gay of the |
visitors. The local infield was strong at |
short and second. The game was won by !
superior base running.

COMMODITY RATES ATTACKED.
Reply Brief of Washington Com.
mercial Organizations Filed.

Declaring that the commodity rates
and not the class rates between Wash
ington and points north and east are
being attacked, the reply brief Of the
local commercial organizations was
made public at the interstate commerce
commission today. The brief Is sub
mitted on the part of the Retail Mer-
chants Association. the Chamber of
Commerce and the Freight Audit and
Adjustment Company, and 10 seeking
to have the commission order the rail-
roads to provide commodity rates to
Washington on the Same number of ar
ticles on which such rates apply to
Richmond.
The omission to publish . longer line
of commodity rates Is the basis Of the
entire complaint of the local merchants.
and they take the stand that goods can
be shipped from points north and east
through Washington to points south
cheaper than they can be shipped from
the same points to Washington.
