Sisson Sounds Warming
Against Bolsllcviki
New York Financier Says Radi-
Gals Would Wreck Both
Capital and Labor

BOSTON, Jan. 12-Thc business and
industrial world would be turned up-
side down, investors interests would
be wiped out and labor would find its
present rights and privileges gone if
Bolshevism should prevail in this
country, Francis II. Sisson, vice -prcsi-
cent OF the Guaranty Trust Company
of New York, said to-day in warning
business mon to guard against chaos
and mob rule, Mr.. Sisson spoke at a
meeting held under the auspices of the
Massachusetts, Chamber of Commerce.
Eve business men of America arc
standing to-day in the front line
trenches of private ownership of prop
crty, of freedom and democracy in
business and government. Let us not
be deceived into giving ground bv the
spccious propaganda of Missionaries or
demagogncs. Private ownership will
have to fight fer its very life.
Labor itself should be on its guard
to forestal such possibilities, for
labor has as much at stake and is
just as jealous Of our individual and
collective liberties as any other clc-
ment in our social organization"
Mr. Sisson also spoke in opposition
to government ownership of railroads
and other public utilities.

Whitman Drops
Fight ON Election
OF Governor Smith
Tells Clynn 1t Is Not Prob
able Full Recount Would
Give Him Majority; Chair
man Scores Tally Officials

EX-Governor Whitman's contest OF
the election of Governor Smith has
been dropped. George A. Glynn, chair
man Of the Republican State Com
mittee, announced the decision yester-
day, making public letters which
passed between him and Mr. Whitman
concerning the examination Of the
ballots.
"Unless the State Committee dis
agrees with me-" Mr.. Whitman wrote,
II am disinclined to approve a con-
tinuance of the Inspection" Continu-
irg, he wrote:
"Had my opponents majority been
as it appeared at the time Of your first
communications, namely about 1000, l
should not hesitate to consent to g
continuance of the inspection through
out the city and states, as I have 10
doubt that that majority would have
been overcome. 1t is of course, pos
sible, though to my mind extremely ur-
likely, that an examination of every
ballot box throughout tie state might
result in the overcoming OF the ap-
parent ajcrlty Of $4,000.
Glynn Accuses Ballot Handlers
Nv Glynn had said in his letter to
Mr.. Whitman:
"The result shows net gain in
favor of the Republican candidate for
Governor six votes TO an election dis
trict. | might call attention to the fact
that the districts examined were not
picked. but were taken in the regular
order. beginning with the 1st District
III this average were maintained in
the 2,629 election districts Of greater
New York the Republican candidate
would gain 15,774 votes, number suf-
fcient to offset the returned majority
for the Democratic candidate for Gov
ernor.
The examination discloses the fact
that many inspectors are incompetent,
that many wilfully violate the law. and
that the law lacks safeguards to secure
an honest vote.
"The examination verified the COM
plant made to the committee that bal
lots II some districts had been handled
seven and eight times. with a loss to
the Republican candidate for Governor
as compared with the original figures.
1t was found in these districts that
hundreds of ballots had been invali
dated by double cross marks and de-
lacement III the Governors group, and
that there was no resemblance be-
tween the cross marks when two were
made, Indicating that the elector had
not marked twice.
Wants Further Safeguards
at was found that a larre percent
age of the void ballots which should
be placed in the official envelopes pro-
Vlded Tor that purpose were returned
to the ballot boxes and great many
actually counted for the Democratic
candidate for Governor.
THE State Committee believes that
the disclosures of the examination
should result in the enactment of laws
for the safeguarding of the ballot and
an amendment of the law relating to
contests in elections.
AN examination of all the ballots
of greater New YORK would $50, 600.
An action in the courts to pjrove tile
to state office would cost more than
100000 and might readily extend over
two years Under the law this cost
must be borne by the candidatc."

GETS EMBALMED HEAD

A mummified human head, shrunk tt

from a trader In South America by o
brother-in-law of Mrs. Parker. Small
as 1t is. it Is covered by luxuriant
growth of long black hair.
The Jibero Indians are among the
fiercest head hunters in the world, ac
cOrding to Mrs. Parker. Instead OF
scalping their victim, as was the Gus
tom of the Indians of North America
they remove all of the bones from
the head and embalIn the remaining
flesh.

Most mothers find shopping hard

their babies with them, Such Is not

Of Denver.
Dan, a white bull terrier Of good
size, is the best little guard and watch
dog In the world and when his mis-
tress goes into a store she leaves the
baby in its buggy outside, with Dan
on guard.
The other morning the baby, whose
name is Betty, was satisfying herself
with bottle Of milk, and Dan was
watching over her. Many pedestrians
stopped for few moments to look at
the baby and the dog. which refused
to let any person get near the young
Ster.
II have no fear at all about the
baby with Dan on the job" said Mrs.
McCutcheon as she came out of the
store. "He always takes good care
of baby and would not allow anyone
to touch her. Betty never cries when
she Is left alone with Dam"

REIMBURSEMENT has brought Amcri-
can industry forcibly face to face with
a problem which it long has Stunned
and avoided, according to officials Of
the United States public health serv.
ice. The certain keen competition,
both domestic and foreign. which is to
follow settling down of business
after the war, makes It necessary for
the American employer to pay more
attention to the question of maximum
efficiency, officials assert.
As n result of the changes which Of.
fcials say are bound to come. employ
ers of labor now must give some study
to the new science of industrial physi-
ology." Frederic s. Lee, consulting
psychologist to the health service. says
In a statement
Has Two objects.
Industrial physiology has two OBJ
jects," Lee says. "First. the purely
scientific one Of learning how the in
dustrial worker actually performs his
work, and, second. the practical object
Of establishing In the factories the
conditions which colduce ut the same
time to the maximum Of output and
the maintenance Of maximum power
Of the worker"
Pursuing Its Investigations on the
two bases, Lee reports that the health
service has arrived at some valuable
Informative conclusions. Among the
conclusions the statement includes
these:
"Overtime following a days labor Is
inadvisable, as Is also Sunday work
following a weeks labor. These tend
to destroy the workers strength and
working power.
1.-THE Introduction Of rest periods In
the working spell Is accompanied by
q total increase in the days prOduc-
ton, especially when the working day
Is long.
Production Of excessively long work.
ing days can be sure to result In a
maximum increase in the output, and
usually by total increase for the
days production.
Night Work Less Efficient.
"Night work. In general, Is less ef-
ficient than day work. Its total out
put is less, and this. with long work.
ing night, falls Oft enormously In the
early morning hours. Thus, 1t Is ad.
vised: Alternate day and night work
where such Is possible ard where
night work must be done results will
be more profitable both to employer
and employee.
"Women are capable Of performing a
much greater variety Of industrial OPP
erations than has heretofore been rec
ogrized. Statistics show they are alb
sent from their work more frequently
than men.
Accidents to workers are grave
source Of inefficiency. They are trace.
able to fatigue. inexperience. speed Of
working, improper lighting. high TEN.
perature and similar causes. Diminu-
ton Of preventable accidents, then.
should be one Of the first steps.
"Food and efficiency are directly
connected with one another, and a
suitable and adequate food supply
probably can he best insured by indus
trial canteens.
"A high labor turnover is incOm-
patible with the highest degree Of eff
ficiency. 1t is expensive, In that It
imposes upon the employers the ne
cessity of training new workers"

WEALTH FOUND IN RUINS
American Soldiers Recover Many
valuables in SheII-Torn
Areas Of France.

Paris.-American troops who have
been working in the shell-torn areas
of France have been recovering
many valuableS of various sorts buried
in the ruins. All these finds are
turned over to the French ministry of
finance, which is erdeavorins to dis
cover the original owners or their
heirs. All unclaimed treasures go to
the state.
Members of the American Second
army corps recently unearthed at
AvOucourt large number of French
and Russian railway bonds which had
lain in the cellar of q demolished
home since the Germans first invaded
the sector. The bonds were all in
good condition and bore coupons
which had not been clipped since July,
1914. Whether the owner is dead or
alive will be determined by the min
istry.
Among the valuables recovered are
many belonging TO ruined churches.
Not infrequently when several
chuYches in town have been de-
strOyed and each of them has lost
similar treasures 1t is impossible to
say who is the owner of the wealth
recovered. In this case it is divided
among them.
