CHANGE OF FRONT
HELPS BUSINESS

"While the lamp holds out to burn
the vilest sinner may return"
Be decorous, now, Sit up straight,
look straight ahead and don't laugh.
The three gentlemen mentioned in
the following story are short on smil-
age and have put their memories in
cold storage.
They are not all the mill men
who have had their memories short
ened. There are more to follow.
Keep your eye skinned for them.
The following appeared in the
Herald Wednesday evening:
Various and varied rumors are
circulated concerning the alleged at
titude of mill owners and managers
in Everett toward the proposed es-
tablishment here of a steel shipyard
by the Norway-Pacific Construction
& Drydock company. In a majority
of instances, according to street ru-
NOR, mill managers have voiced OPP
position to the tentative industrial
plan on the alleged grounds that a
shipyard and drydock would tend to
initiate wages to a point where fir
and cedar mills could not be expected
to compete in the labor market. This
rumored adverse attitude of the mill
men does not appear to exist in re-
atty, according to those manufac-
turers reached by the Herald today.
Neither the Weyerhaeuser Timber
company nor myself, personally, has
any objection to the coming of the
shipyard and dry dock company"
says Manager William Boner. "Such
an industry would be welcome, so far
as | am concerned. The labor situa-
ton is easier in Seattle than it is in
Everett because of the presence of
shipyard industry there, which en-
ables other industries to draw from
the influx of labor, and l believe la
Dor conditions in Everett would re-
ceive a similar benefit
81 dent care who comes here"
says Gov. D. NJ. Clough, manager of
the Clark Nickerson Lumber com
pany. 81 suppose a rumor to the con-
trary may have been started because

thing to do with a shipyard or with

RAILROAD COLLAPSE
BLAMED ON BANKERS

NEW YORK, Feb. bankers, and
not railroad officials, are responsible
for the collapse of the nations trans
portation system, declares Amos Pin
chot, in a public statement.
"In the last two years." he says,
''the banking world has come to
realize that the cream has gone out
of railroading. Government regula-
ton has, to considerable extent,
prevented excessive rates.
publicity, the fear of investiga-
ton, etc, has lessened the frequency
of those immensely profitable deal
ings that used to line the bankers
pockets through stock jobbing, wreck
ing and the various mysterious pro-
cesses of railroad high finance.
"Railroading is no longer bank
er's gold mine or paradise. The
result has been that the bankers
have cut the credit of the railroads.
Because they could not make the
profits they were used to, they have
starved the railroads, they have re-
fused loans and turned down under
writings; they have lent deaf ear
to the appeal of the technical man
gers of the railroads, who have been
unable to procure from the bankers
funds necessary to keep the rolling
stock, and especially the locomotives,
at an efficient point.
"And meanwhile, as the bankers
have refused credit, they have also
insisted on dividends from roads
whose condition did not warrant them.
"In short, a state of things has
been brought about, not through Mr..
Garfield, or the administration, or the
railroads technical heads, but by a
selfish and short-sighted Wall street
control, where a little cold weather
added to the unusual strain due to
the war, has thrown the country into
a position of exereme danger"

In an article, headed Reasons

in the Single Weaver last week,
Secretary John NJ. Norland, address
ing the millmen, says; Don't run
away with the idea that you are not

unions, and the sooner you show fair
ness and a disposition on your part
to deal with men as men, and not as
a commodity, the sooner our troubles
will be at an end"

ARE AGREED ON
FOR JUGO-SLAV STATE
Said to Include Serbs, Croats and

and Serbians

Washington, March l9,-Balkan diplo-
matte circles have received report
that Italy and Serbia have reached an
agreement concerning the creation of
Jugo-Slav state which would embrace
the Serbs. Croats and Slovenes of Aus
tria- Hungary. as well as the Serbians.
The basis of the agreement is under
stood to be the treaty of London and
not the declaration OF Corfu, but its
terms are not yet available II was
asserted in authoritative quarters that
the resignation OF the Pachitch Min
istory at Corfu, the wartime capital of
Serbia. cannot be attributed to the agree
ment reached with Italy.
The difficulties formerly in the way
of a complete understanding between
Italy and Serbia related to the con-
ficting territorial claims of the two
countries and particularly to the east
ern shores of the Adriatic.

PACKERS PROFITS
REDUCED BY HOOVER
Food Administration Answers
Charges That 1t Favored
Meat Producers
Washington, March 10.

Washington, March ~.
Claims that the food administration
has greatly restricted the profits Of
the p1ckers were made before the Sem
ate Agricultural Committee today by
Joseph p. Cotton. head OF the meat
division of the food administration.
This was the answer OF the food ad-
ministration to charges which have been
made that the packers have benefited
by the acts OF the food administration.
Cotton told the members Of the COM
mittee that through the licensing power
of the food administration the profits
OF the packers on every dollar are lin
tied TO two and a half cents. Further
more he said that their entire profit
is limited to 2 per cent of their in
vested capital. This is the first time
any one ever took anything away from
the packers" Cotton declares. He then
pointed out that profiyts before the pres
ent control have run as high as 80 per
cent.
Members OF the committee took ex-
ceptions TO Cotton's belief that these
restrictions worked IA hardship upon the
packer Senator Gronna showed by
his questions and cross-examination that
packers are allowed TO make per cent
upon borrowed money, for which they
are paing but or per cent. Senator
Thompson, OF Kansas. also took excep-
tions to the amount of profits allowed.
Cotton then explained that IL had
been all based upon the normal pre-war
profit theory set forth by the President
and that 1t was the intent to allow the
packers the same profits which they en-
jcyed before the European war broke
out
As the chief purchaser OF meats for the
Allies. Cotton admitted that the food
administration has the power to control
the prices of pork. He claimed, how
ever, tha tthe price which the food ad-
ministration fixed as n minimum was
reached upon the advice of producers
Thus far Cotton said the food admin
istration has not interfered with the
beef market. lie stated that it was his
belief. however, that before very long
the Allied purchases of beef will be so
great that it will be possible for the
food administration to control the prices.
The present estimates of the Allies pur-
chases of beef for the future are enor-
nous, Cotton declared. He stated that
II the time did come when the food ad-
ministration might be able to fix the
price of beef consumers and producers
will both be given equal opportunity to
have hearings.
