Africa Drawn ON for Wood
Vast Timber Resources To Be
Exploited

A reinforcement for the world de-
mand for lumber is preparing in
British East Africa, where there are
between 100000 and 100000 acres
of woodland to draw upon, and a new
industry, very infantile at present, is
expected to grow SO rapidly that the
government is now considering plans
to improve the harbor facilities for
exploiting the forests.
The best wood is suitable for wheel
makers and wagon builders and the
making of wood block paving, railway
sleepers, bridges, OK yokes and ak, pick
and tool handles. 1t also makes good
flooring and lining boards. The
builder. however. must needs be of
patient disposition if he postpones
building until these British East
African woods are available
Mean time, there are new sounds in
some of the African forests, the
rhythm of the woodsman's ak, the buzz
of the sawmill, and the putting of
understood locomotives on the narrow
gauge tracks that arc penetrating from
the main line of railway into the wood
lands. And many workman. no
doubt, will some day work with tools
whose handles grew in an African
forest.-Christian Science Monitor.

Fight to Restore
Sing Sing Paper to
Go to Governor
State Prison Commission to
Investigate Suspension of
"Bulletin''; Reformers
Join Storm of Protests

oSS1N1NG. Aug 1.-THE suspension
OF THE Sing Sing Bulletin" the pio-
neer prison paper in the United States,
has caused protests from many sources.
Members of the State Prison Comrnis-
sion. it was said here to-day, will take
action in an effort to have the paper
reestablished Immediately
The suspension of the paper has met
with the disapproval of all Sing Sing
inmates and a number of prison re-
form advocates. The prison commits
sloners intend to appeal directly to
Governor Smith. Warden Lawes has
refused to discuss the suspension of
The Bulletin" Former Judge Edward
V. Brophy. his predecessor, said that
an attempt had beela made by "politi-
clans" at Albany to put the paper out
OF business during the time he was
warden.
"Discontinuing the prison newspa-
per-" said Judge Brophy, ais a serious
and dangerous thing to do. The paper
was suppressed to embarrass Warden
Lawes. l found that the little sheet
was great help to prison officials and
l had to fight hard to keep it running"
According to, dispatches received
mere to-day from Albany, Charles F.
Rattigan, Superintendent of Prisons,
did not order the suspension of "The
Bulletin" Officials at Albany said that
Mr. Rattigan had nothing to do with
the order and that it must have come
from Warden Lawes.
Superintendent Rattigan, according
to Albany dispatches, will make an in
vestigation and report his findings.
Attention was first called at Albany
to the fact that the paper had been
suspended when 3. Ogden Chisolm, a
reform advocate, communicated with
Governor Smith and protested against
discontinuing publication.
Captain T. A. Brady, retired army
officer, said to-day that he would pro-
test to Governor Smith against the
papers suspension. "The paper" he
declared, "has become great force for
good, and it is pity that it can't be
let alone. | am confident that it will
come back if its outside friends will
get busy"

Charges

WATERFOWL, N. Y, Aug. 17.-Jo-
seph Pulitzer, an installment house
proprietor of Binghamton, was fined
$1,750 in Federal Court at Carton to-
day by Associated Judge Frank Cooper
after a plea OF nolo contendre when
arraigned on a profiteering Indictment
The court in passing sentence said he
realized that in the installment business
larger margin Of profit was neces-
sary than in cash business and conse-
quently would heed the plea of the in
dlctcd man for lighter sentence. The
fine was paid.
Carl J. Webb, of Oxford, N. Y, wa.
fined s25 after pleading guilty to an
indictment charging violation of in
terstate commerce laws in that he
shipped from one state to another a
hog unfit for food.

Federal license. Karg was fined $4,000
and Noxon $1,000. Both paid.

charging him with misbranding GER
tain remedies. He was released on

Auburn term

withheld in the case of George E. Null
ligan, Albany, a sugar dealer. He is

Plan to Postpone

ACTION Sales Company in Montreal
snd the four or five commission COM
rsn;es in Longon, England, that partici-
nate in the sales there was discussed
yesterday at meeting attended by
iaaders of the local fur trade and rep
,ssentatives of the American and
Canadian auction companies.
The consensus of opinion among the
fur dealers is that the elimination of
The fall sale this year is advisable in
view of present market conditions. The
dumping of more skins on the market,
Il is felt. will depress prices still fur
ther and prevent the rcsuscitation of
the trade. The auction companies hold
large Quantities of skins for which ad-
varces we're paid shippers before the
winter and spring sales. Many G? tips
purchases made at those sales are sag

through the inability Of buyers "a
mise the necessary funds with which
to make final payments.
Representatives of the American and
Canadian companies asserted that they
we're agreeable to postponement if
the London companies would follow
suit. A special committee headed by
Samuel Ullmann, of Joseph Ullmann &
Co., who presided at yesterdays meet
ing will endeavor to obtain official
abandonment of the sales by the inter
ested auction concerns.
The Montreal sale is announced for
September Z, and up to the present the
company has evidenced it's desire to go
on with the sale. The London sales
are scheduled to begin on October g.
The Funsten sale was announced to
begin on October and the New York
sale on October 49,

Commercial Credit

With the drop in the prices Of many
commodities credit limitations by sell
ers have been contracted. This action
has resulted as much from fear that
the liquidation Of the buyer may render
his financial position less strong than
from the fact that less money is re-
quired TO swing business deals than
was formerly necessary. Credit men
for houses dealing in primary materials
are scanning the financial statements
Of their customers more closely than
ever, particularly among houses sell
ing supplies to manufacturers.
Local commercial money rates were
unchanged yesterday, although a slight
easing is reported in the Middle West.
Commercial paper continued to dis
count at to S4 4per cent. Bankers ac-

can Acceptance Council were:

Clothing Manufacturers
Demand Lower Prices
Say Cloth Makers Must Reduce
Quotations to Get
Spring Orders

Considerable argument is ensuing
between clothing manufacturers and
cloth producers concerning the method
by which prices of mems suits and
oovercoats are to be reduced next spring.
MoSt OF them agree that the consumer
VIII be asked to pay less for his next
springs garments than he paid this
spring or will pay this fNI. Cloth
manufacturers are inclined to think
that while cloth will be bEt little
cheaper the clothing producer will
shade his prices. On the other hand,
the clothing maker is convinced that
he will have to pay much less for his
cloth. Among clothing manufacturers
,Aere Is firm conviction that spring
prices quoted by the mills when they
offer new samples next month will have
to be materially lower than fall prices
.~ere If any volume of business is to
be booked by the cloth makers.

Cotton Goods Market
Shows Little Progress
Variety of Prices Continues
to Leave Buyers Ju-
decided en- Course

Little progress is being made in the
cotton goods market toward the stabili-
cation o. prices in general. Certain
branded goods now bear prices that
are guaranteed up until October IS, but
on unbranded goods, and especially
wash dress goods, the buyer now in
the market finds such a variety Of
prices that he is unsettled in his buy
ing tendencies.
While the buyers are inclined to look
to the manufacturers, selling agents
and converters-in other words, the
primary factors in the trade-for price
stabilzation, the latter assert that a
resumption Of buying is the only thing
that will definitely establish prices
now. Buyers ere not agreed on their
Ideas of what prices should be at pres
ent. Some buyers regard certain goods
as cheap. while others insist that the
same goods are too high. Under pres
ent circumstances it is impossible to
figure proportionate values since the
proportions existing in normal times
We're destroyed during the war and in
the expansion period following.

AN EXPLOIT IN
FRENCH MfLiTARISM.

The French threat to occupy the
cities of Frankfort. Darnstadt,
Homburg and Hanau on the right
bank of the Rhine is afar more seri.
GUS menace to the peace OF Europe
than the use Of troops by the Ger
man aNyernment to suppress inter
nal disorders in the Ruhr district.
Technically the Treaty of Yer
sailles admits of the construction
which the French government has
given it. BY its terms the German
government is forbidden to main
tain or assemble armed forces
either permanently or temporarily"
in the zone west OF a line drawn
fifty kilometres to the east of the
Rhine" I'm case Germany violates
in any manner whatever the pro-
visions of this article "she shah be
regarded as committing a hostile
act against the powers signatory of
the present treaty and as calculated
TO disturb the peace Of the world"
That this restriction, however,
was intended to prevent the Ger
Indu government from employing
troops in the neutral zone east of
the Rhine to preserve order and
put down rebellion is contrary to
common sense. No government
could survive under such restric-
tions. Neither Great Britain nor
Italy regards the action Of the Ebert
government in dealing with the
Communistie revolt in the Ruhr dis
trict as a violation OF the treaty, nor
does the government Of the United
States.
In spite of the historical utter
ances of an inspired Frnech press.
it may be doubted if the French
government itself is gravely con.
cerned with the presence of 10000

UNIONISTS AS
STRIKE BREAKERS

The Geographic appeal issued by
officials of the Brotherhood Of Rail
way Trainmen to all member unions
outside Chicago to send switchmen
to help break the strike now tieing
up traffic in that district is some
what Of a novelty in industrial dis.
putes. It recites that radicals are
taking advantage of the situation
during the period Of reconstruction,
but this should not deter our mem
bers who are willing to uphold the
integrity Of our agreements with
railroads, thereby protecting them
selves and their families" There is
condemnation also for the "unlaw-
ful and unpatriotic methods" where
by those who have treated their
contest with the railroads as Il
mere scrap of paper are seeking 20
obtain higher wages at this time.
The significance exists in tie
realization by the Brotherhood off,
Gals that unless agreements made
between a union and an employing
corporation are lived up to there
must be an end to the entire syS-
tern OF collective bargaining The
official representing the corporation
gives ample pledges that It will full
fill its part Of the bargain. It is Il
responsible party which cannot
break its word with impunity. The
same responsibility should rest
with the organization of employees,
By whatever name it is known. In
