10000 German Locomotives Idle.

Coblenz, Nov. 23.-Ten thousand
locomotives are idle in the repair
hops OF Germany according to rail
.oad men who conferred recently in
Coblcnz with Picrrepont 3. Noyes, the
American representative on the inter
Allied Ishineland High Commission.
The meeting was called for the pur-
pose of discussing the coal shortage
n Germany and the part the railroads
ire to play in distributing fuel this
winter.
The labor representative, at the
conference, contended that the Ger
nan workmen are not holding back
efforts being made 20 meet the
economic difficulties facing the couE-
::ry. The chief trouble in repairing
he locomotives, the railroad men as
serted, was lack Of proper raw mater
al which Germany had been unable
O secure since the arIniStice.
The railroad men asserted that the
men in the railroad shops realized the
responsibilities placed upon them to
cepair locomotives ard that there was
10 desire on the part Of these work
non to slow upon ttis work.
The average wage in the railroad
shops Is sixteen marks a day. The
mark, at the present rate Of exchange

MEMORIAL APPEAL
GETTING RESPONSE
Generous Support Being Re-
ceived In Many Counties

Columbia. Dec. 23.-The people of
the State are becoming more respon-
sive 70 the appeal for subscriptions to
the 100000 fund for the erection of
a memorial building in honor Of those
South CarolinianS who participated in
the world war. according to the head
quarters Of the South Carolina Me-
mortal Commission in Columbia.
Many Of the counties Of the State
have a large percentage Of, their al
lotments subscribed and q number Of
the counties have promised to COM
plete their quotas during January
1920.
The erroneous ideas which had be-
come prevalent as 20 the nllsconcep-
tons concerning il have had ten
dency to cause the people to get be-
hind the movement more literally.
The idea that the building was TO be
a mere adjunct to the University OF
South Carolina and under the con-
troll Of the trustees Of the University
has been dispelled by the recent
statement of the commission that its
only function is to be repository OF
the states records of participation in
the world war. as we'll as for other
wars and q memorial TO South Car
olina's heroes.
And the people likewise are com
ing TO realize. the commission ayers.
that the University, instead of having
an ulterior. motive in the construc-
ton Of q memorial building, is eN-
.trenely generous in Offering for the
purpose land. the value OF which will
reach into thousands Of dollars.
Should the building be constructed
on land other than that Owned by the
University. it would have to be pur-
chased By the Stat" and would COS.
between $4,000 and 100000, if an
equally desirable site could be pro-
cured The land offered by the Uni
versity is on the SO block Of Main
Street and within almost a stones
throw of the State House and near the
geographical center Of the city.

English Manufacturer Believes
High Wages.

London. Nov. 22.-England still is
suffering from low wages. declared
Lord Lcverhulme, one of England's
best-kaov,, manufacturers, on the eve
Of his departure for the United States.
Lord Levcrhulnle has set an example
to British industry by application TO
his own business OF advanced ideas III
the relations of capital and labor.
"Our-wage earners have inherited
ideas which low wages inflicted upon
them and our manufacturers have not
been driven by big wages to develop
labor-saving machinery" he said.
'The era Of low wages has passed.
If our manufacturers improve their
machinery and our wage earners
throw aside suspicion as a. policy
rilnous to their own interests, we shall
have tremendous home market in
England and a bigger surplus than
any other nation to send abroad to pay
for our raw materials
Not only did Lord Leverhulme see
no prospect that wages would fall IN
England but he declared that he did
not wish to see them drop, but would
like to see them so higher, provided
always that production kept pace with
the advance in wages.
Asked by representative of the
Daily Chronicle what he would do to
a:se money if he We're chancellor Of
he exchequer, Lord Leverhulme re-
)lied:
81 should institute tax on trading
profits, starting at profits Of 1000
pounds so as not to hurt the little bus
ness. It wouldn't be a graduated tax;
hat spoils the whole thing. 1t would
,e a tax of five per cent on all trad
ng profits above 1000 pounds. Now
ee what that tax would do. 1t would
stimulate industry. A levy on capital
-ripples industry; but tax on profits
,ucls industry up; makes it think
lardcr and work harder.
''Such a tax as suggest which
would fall on the ordinary sharehold-
II who would still have to pay income
AK. and if liable, his supcr-taX,
7ould have a quickening effect in the
whole region of industry. Income tax
S hard on the person with a small
;xed income. but it is stimulus to a
nan in business who can easily in
:rease his profits by thinking more
dearly, working much harder, and
citing with more faith and courage.
o, in precisely the like manner, a
,roft's tax would act on British in
lustry."
