DOESN'T FEAR SOVIETS

Eugene Schneider. who might be called
the Charlie Schwab of France without
stretching a point, isn't at all afraid
that Sovietism will overthrow the pres
ent economic scheme in his or this coun-
try. NJ. Schneider, maker of the finest
artillery piece In the history of mill
tarism-the French 75--and by all
means the most important steel and iron
magnate in France, called reporters to
his suite in the Waldorf yesterday and
told them that while France needed coal
grain, cotton and several other things
that America may have to supply her
she will nevertheless struggle through
the prevailing economic crisis and
emerge a greater, more prosperous and
Weather country than ever.
NJ. Schneider Is the employer OF 49,
600 men In his various steel and iron
and munitions plants, the principal of
which are at lie Creusot Not the least
important of his reasons for being in
America is that he will attend the meet
ings of the International Trade Confer
ence at Atlantic City next week. At
these meetings., he said yesterday. the
mooted world chamber of commerce will
be discussed and perhaps some definite
plans for its creation accepted.

on the first day of it's session here.
Street railways had been given au-
thority to increase their fares in nearly
every large city in the country, it was
pointed out. but still conditions were
not satisfactory.
Public service commissions were
urged not to accept street railway COM
panys' figures, but to make thorough
Investigations with their own engineers
and accountants ana IN that manner
reach a conclusion as TO what fare
should be charged. Paul Haynes, an
Indiana public service commissioner,
said. To this action he attributed the
comparatively small fare charged in
Indianapolis.
Besides discussing reports from the
committee on grade crossings and tres
passing on railroads and from the COM
mittee on State and Feredal legislation,
little other business was transacted dur
ing the day. The meeting will continue

MANY BLAMED FOR
DAMAGE TO COTTON
Poor Baling Methods Cause
Loss, Convention Told.

NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 14.-Every group
Of persons engaged in the cotton indus
try. from the planter to the weaver.
came in for blame to-day at the world
cotton conference here for damage sus-
tanned by cotton in its progress from
the field TO the loom.
The planter was blamed by some OF
the speakers, the railroads were held
culpable by others, and spinners, fac
tories and ginners were said by still
others to be responsible for the great
loss suffered by the industry each year
because of damaged cotton.
Gov. Beckett of North Carolina seemed
to sum up not the individual opinion
for the various speakers differed widely
but the general belief of the confer
ence when he declared that everybody
is to blame for damaged cotton" How
ever, he denounced particularly the ex-
posture of baled cotton to the weather,
saying that such was "a deliberate eco
nomic crime
Members Of the British delegation to
the conference entered into the discus
sion to assert that the American bales
were blunders in wrapping and COM
pressing and were the cause of heavy
losses in shipping.
