Whole Industry Involved.

A resolution expressing the operators
attitude was framed by a committee OF
eight from each state headed by s. H.
Robbins of Ohio.
Although technically this represented
only the action of the central competi-
tive field, where the wage question is
under Immediate consideration it was
interpreted as a declarat ton for the en-
tire bituminous industry. since wages
in the central field form the basis for
pay elsewhere.

Representative Britten's Views.

Representative Britten of Illinois,
member of the committee. who has
been on several inspection trips to
naval stations, said today that If the
country at large realized the marvellous
efficiency of the system which is keep
ing the fleet supplied with everything
it needs no change would be allowed.
Admiral McGowan," said Represent
atve Britten. who is in charge of the
naval supply and accounting system.
has built up a bureau which l am sure
is better than any other system on
earth. He has eliminated all duplica-
tion of effort; all red tape. He gets what
is needed and gets it in a hurry. For
instance. l know it is a fact that Ad-
miral McGowan has arranged to ship to
the fleet now in foreign waters every
thing it asks for and rushes the stuff
there first thing. The accounting and
the approving comes afterward. Any
thing Sims wants for the destroyers Nc
Gowan sends to him without going
around Robin Hoods barn to find some
business man in New York or else
where who is so-called expert to han
die the orders

Splendid Staff of Assistants.

Admiral MCGOWAN has built up a
system which includes men from the
business centers who are leaders in
their lines of business He has men
who are the centers of the leather busi-
ness, the waterproofing business, the
food business. These men have given
up positions worth from $4,000 year
up and are working for MCGOWAN for
S1,5o0 and $1,S00 year-to contribute
their weight to the government. They
are not slackers, either. hoping for eX-
emption, for nearly all of them are
above the draft age.
The wonder of my inspection trips to
naval stations has been the splendid eff
cheney of the supply end of the estab-
lisnment 1t Will he shame 10 throw

Against Dual Control.

James B. Forgan. one of the mem
hers OF the advisory board of the Fed
eral Reserve Board and chairman of the
board of directors of the First National
Bank of Chicago, in a speech delivered
before the American Bankers Associa-
ton convention at Atlantic City urged
one control for the banks in the federal
reserve system.
He expressed the belief that if the
regular examinations We're conducted
under the care of the federal reserve
agent in each of the twelve regional
banks, agents to have supreme author
ity under the reserve board, it would
simplify the conduct of the system and
would do away with clearing house eN-
aminers.
He also claimed that dual control. as
represented by the controller of the
currency and the Federal Reserve Board,
should be avoided.
He urged that one control and the
impressing upon non-member banks of
the great benefits of the federal reserve
system would greatly stimulate addi-
tions from state banks and trust COM

Steel Earnings for 1917.

AT the volume of business tranSa acted
IN the June quarter, with prices better
IN some cases and lower i'll others as
a result of the hesitation resulting
from the government attitude. it was
assumed that the earnings of the Steel
Corporation for the third quarter will
excess profit taxes. making a year $
revenue over $500, 600 900 seem prob
able.
At this rate the earnings of about
~ per cent for 1916 Will be left far
behind and the argument is made that
if [. S. Steel common earning about
"o per cent on the common stock in
1917 added to its earnings of 49 per
cent in 1916 that there is little foun-
dation for speculative operations on
