GARY SAYS THAT
 DRY UNITED STATES
 PROVES BENEFICIAL
Effect on Industrial and Eco homie Life Good, He
 States

New York, July 22.- Prohibition has been beneficial to the nations 1 industrial and economic life in the opinion of Ebert II. Gary, head of the United States Steel corporation who issued statement tonight on the eve of his departure for Europe giving his views on the business out look generally.
 "The prohibition laws have had marked effect' he said "In nearly every newspaper one will read of fewer inmates of prisons, aims houses and hospitals, and larger bal ances in savings institutions and better, cleaner and healthier condi tions in the dwellings, all on account Of prohibition. Testimony on this subject is accumulated day by day from an economic pecuniary stanpoint l thing a large majority of the peo- !ole of this country are in favor of prohibition and it is plea sing to note that the large numbers of workmen so far as l am informed, subscribe
 
 Business conditions should be considered satisfactory" MT. Gary said, although there has been "a lack of prudence in business man. agement since the armistice, Gas re- gards to prices.
 There seems to have been a dis position on the part of the large numbers he added, "to ask and &C., cept the highest prices which could be. obtained. Consecutively there has been added to growing prices the amount which the producer has been obliged to pay, with the profit on the whole, and the purchaser has thus been obliged to charge an increased price to his customers
 The disposition to work and pro- duce has been materially diminished according to MT. Gary. He cited an instance by which he said in or der to remove and replace a head light on locomotive Git has been necessary to employ four different men because of labor regulations, where one man heretofore performed the same service in less tlme."
 "The rule has prevailed" he said "of doing as little work as possible and of securing as large pecuniary results as could be obtained. How ever, somewhat to my surprise have ascertained upon inquiry in the last 30 or 40 days, that labor at our various plants is more efficient per man than it has been at any time be- fore during the last five years"
 No conflict exists between capital and labor, he declared, troubles in the past having been between em- ployers and labor union leaders. He referred to the high wages being paid for labor.
 But it has not been paid toe much," he continued. "There have been and are cases where compensa- tion has been too low and work too strenuous but have been speaking of the general rule. A majority of the employers and employees read and listen attentively to suggestions re- lating to their obligations to all others, including the general public
 MT. Gary said the disposition to cut expenditures and increase savings has been noticeable of late and dru- ing the next few months these tend encies will be more pronounced.

FREIGHT ADVANCE
 OF 36.9 PER CENT ASKED BY RAILROADS
New Petition Would Add 20 Per Cent Passenger
 Fare
$26,OO0,0OO MORE IS
 ESTIMATED ON WAGES
Rail Executives Figure This Cost as Overtime-Pullman Fare Sur Charge of 50 Per Cent Also
 Asked

Washington, July 22.-To provide an additional revenue necessary to meet the $600,000,O0O increase in wages awarded by the railway labor board the railways proposed today to the in- terstate commerce commission that passenger rates be advanced 20 per cent and freight rates 916 per cent in addition to 27.6 per cent previously requested. They proposed sur charge of 50 per cent be made on Pull man fares, that excess rates be in- creased 20 per cent and that milk be increased to the same level as freight rates.
 1 Should these increases and those previously asked be granted in full, existing freight rates would be ad- vanced 36.9 per cent and the nations freight bill would be increased by $1 1,355, 5,37O,675. The total which would be added to the passenger revenue under the railway executives plan would be 3,827 1882 annually. Pull man charges would go up $43, ,639,344 year; the revenue on milk would be increased $8,662,0S9 and excess bag gage charges would be advanced by $1 ,42O,995.
 The plan advanced by the railroads disclosed that they have estimated the wage award at approximately 626,00O,000, instead of the $500 ,OOO,- 900 figured by the labor board. AL fred P. Thom, general counsel of the association of Railway Executives, ex- plained that the $26,0O0,OOO addition was figured on the basis of overtime allowances provided in the award The railroads proposal was submit ted to the commission by MT. Thorn after conference of railway officials here since last Tuesday. Order No Hearing.
 The commission made no comment and did not indicate whether 1t would order hearings.
 The total increase from all sources of revenue in each of the three rail- way classification territories would correspond to the estimated increase of wages in these territories and would be as follows:
 Eastern $318, 8,729,935; southern $69,- 9O9,49 and western $257,281,6 ,655. Under the executives estimates the proposed increase in passenger rates would yield an annual return of $111,- 668,982 in eastern territory; $29,- 400 in southern and 2,332 1899 in western.
 The additional increase in freight rates would be 10 per cent in east ern territory, yielding $1s2,020,541; 8.56 per cent in southern territory yielding $33, ,79S. 1926 and S.23 per cent in western territory yielding $122,- 551 ,2O8. ~IM The total increase in freight rates resulting from the proposals of the railroads would be 39.75 per cent in eastern territory; 38.91 in southern territory; 32.03 in western territory. The sur-charge on Pullman fares in the east would be $17,556,10 in the south $5,852,036 and in the west $20, 0,231 200.
 The increased charge on hauling milk would be $6,956,416 in the east; $252, ,115 in the south and $1,453, ,558 in the west.
 The increased excess baggage charge was estimated at $278, 1888 in the east; $1SO,O17 in the south and $713,09O in the west.

SEE ELEMENTS OF NEW WAR IN
 POLISH CRISIS
Think France and England Unable to Act in
 Time
EITHER MAY FIND THAT
 WAR IS UNPOPULAR
Nothing on Face of Present Develop. ments to Indicate That the United States Will be
 Involved

1 WaShlngton, July 2Z.-Wlthout of- fical information on the decision of the allied powers to furnish military aid to Poland in her struggle with 1 the Boshevik government officials refrained today from formal express ion of opinion but unofficially pro- fessed to see in the new situation most of the elements of European war on broad scale.
 l Army officers and officials of the state department generally, were frankly pessimistic as to the ability 1 of France and Great Britain to place armies in Poland in time to check the Russian advance before Warsaw falls and many were skeptical of the power of either country to drive their war weary people into the struggle without serious unbalanc- 1 ing of domestic affairs.
 Although technically the president is endowed with the specially con- ferred war powers, there was no dis position in official circles to assume that he would involve the United States in a war between the Bolshe- vik and the Allies, unless action might be justified by some overt act against the army of occupation on the Rhine. Reports to the state depart- ment indicate increasing tenseness between the conservative and pr0- radical groups in Germany and it was generally believed that unless the radical element gained the assis- tance necessary the chances of the United States becoming involved were slight, although a suggestion of American cooperation from France and Great Britain was regarded as probable.
 For the present it was indicated at the state department the part of. ths terested observer. Steps have been taken to remove from the war area such Americans as may wish to leave.
 Reds Take Grodno. Warsaw, July 22.-The Polish com- munication issued today announces that the bolshevik have captured the town of Grodno which the Poles de- tended with all their strength. In the south the detachment of rea infantry which crossed the East 0n- licia frontier was pushed back acrsoe the Zebruca river after an all dnr fight.
 Preceding the loss of Grodno the Poles forced the enemy from tAe forts north of Grodno, but the reds counter attacking with reinforcements compelled the Poles to withdraw V the south.
