turbed Mother, but She Lets
COMPANY Off Easily

Poor working girl that she is, Gloria
Foy refuses to let her independence be
trampled upon by trust-to work
without pay for soulless corporation
and at the hideous hour of 8 80 q. M, It
that. So she has sent bill to the New
York Telephone Company for errors
alleged to have been made by its opera
tors which she corrected from Sunday
to Thursday, inclusive, last week.
The errors consisted of ringing Miss
Foy's telephone bell for persons who
wanted to talk to somebody else.
There were twelve Of them, and Miss
Foy estimates she spent fifteen min
utes correcting each one. For playing
in whats in a Name" at the Maxine
Elliott Theater she gets S25 for three
hours work, and so she has sent bill
for that amount to the telephone COM
pany.
1t is Miss Foys personal conviction
pany off easily, for really, as all the
calls came in between 7:45 a. m. and
$3.50 a. M, she declares she ought to
figure the work done for the telephone
company at overtime rates and charge
$50.
Although Miss Foy's mother is not
playing in "What's in Name?" stin,
she always waits up for Miss Foy to
return, and the annoyance caused to
her by the wrong number" calls is
almost as great, Miss Foy says. as her
own. Miss Foy pointed out she was
throwing in that annoyance free of
charge in sending her bill to the tele-
phone company.

Demands Abolition
OF Rand School
Berger Declares ALI Such
Institutions a Menace
10 American Morals;
Assails Socialist Party

The Rand School is ga vicious organ
ization and ought not to be allowed to
exist in this community" Samuel A.
Berger, counsel to the Lusk committee
and author Of the bill which would
subject all such schools to state regu-
lation, declared last night in an adj
dress before the Shearith Israel
League at West Seventeen Street.
Others Mr.. Berger said should be
wiped out are the Ferrer School and
the school conducted by the Union of
Russian Workers, IN New York, and
the Fcrrer colony at Stelton, N. j. The
latter, he asserted, is "a center of gross
immortality"
"All these institutions" he said, care
advocating revolution by force against
tnc American government. Regardless
Of what the Socialist party once was,
~ now urges the workers to oppose
the government by mass action and ad-
,vocates the use of the general strike.
II conditions such as obtained in the
!nnlpeg strike were to be brought to
pass in New York the whole community
would be paralyzed yithin forty-eight
hours. Any party holding to such pre-
cepts has no right to be considered a
political party.
The past responsibility of the Rand
school has nothing to do with the case,
since the school exists at present for
the express purpose of fostering and
encouraging class hatred. Algernon
Lee, director Of the Rand School. ad-
mltted on the stand at Albany he be-
heved in what he termed industrial
mass action-that is to say, the use Of
the general strike as a weapon against

American Smelling
Hit by Slump in
Demand for Metals
Company Fell Far Short of
Earning Dividends; Prof
its Only 4. Cents a Share
in the First Half

An almost complete cessation of the
demand for copper, lead and zinc fol-
lowing the signing of The armistice
caused drastic falling off in the earn
ings of the American Smelling and Re-
fning Company in the first half of
1919, with the result that the net n
come for the full year, after preferred
dividend requirements. fell short of
the $4 a year common dividend pay
ments by $1,0S5,657 The surplus avail
able for common stock dividends was
$1,354, 1862, equivalent to 1928 share
on the S6o,998,O 900 outstanding, com;
pared with $7.29 share earned in 1918
and $24.14.a share in 1917.
During the first six months of the
year there was earned but 4 cents a
share on the junior stock issue as
against the 50 paid, but during the last
half of the year surplus was equal to
more than $2.18 a share. or Il rate in
excess Of the 50 required to meet the
dividends of the last six months. Simon
Guggenheim, president, said in the
company's report that the close Of the
year saw the earnings progressively
Improving" He added:
Even during the first six months Of
the year. when the company was pass
ing through its darkest hour and earn
ings were at the lowest point. the
companys large surplus warranted the
continuation of the 4 per cent dividend
upon the common stock. and this pol
icy was justified by the increase III
earnings during the latter half of the
year. The ability of the company to
pass through SO serious situation as
the reconstruction period following the
war, without more drastically reducing
its common stock dividend, is ample
justification of the constructive policy
Of establishing a large surplus to be
drawn upon during times Of advcrsty."
The oompany's income account
showed that the total receipts in 1919
amounted to $243 1888 compared
with $392001 ,155 in 1918. This was
entirely accounted for by a decrease
from S20S,S40,411 to $81 ,281,842 in
sales Of copper, $34,9550 70 to sci ,573,-
S31 in sales of lead, $4,544,170 to ST.
