IS THE GOVERNMENT AT FA,TLT

The controller of the currency, John Skelton Williams, seems to be pers suaded that some of the New York banks have been exacting something like shylock rates of interest from those to whom they have made loans The intimation, of course, is that some If not all of the New York banks have been profiteering. If Mir. Williams is able to obtain accurate information, he may justify the statement he is re- ported to have made. Bankers say that they are ready to meet him on this is- sue. They admit that unusual rates of interest have been charged. But they assert this is due to the law of supply and demand. Thomas w. Lamont stated

| recently that it was impossible to place securities with the investing public
 unless the interest rates were so high as to be tempting. On the other hand, litis possible that>a counter attack will be made on the government itself. Sometimes we hear intimations that not the least of profiteers in the United States has been the government. Ere quently the assertion is made that the
 federal reserve banking system was es- tablished Chiefly for the purpose of se- curing stability and also to prevent concentration of money or of credit in any one community.
 THE NUMBER OF MILLION AIRES Reports from Washington based upon census returns show that there are in
 the United tSates 162 persons whose in- dividual incomes are not less than a million dollars a year. and in many cases much more than that. Washing ton also estimates that the number of
 millionaires now in the United States
 is 20.000. But this is spoken Of here as pure guesswork. It is impossible to get an accurate estimate of the number of milli onaireS in the United States. There are a good many more who can now be listed in the millionaire class 1 than in a similar list made up six years ago. There is no doubt that men who are in intimate association with banks have amassed millions in the past six years. There are individual instances which will show that. So also those
 who engaged in war work. the great contractors, have in many cases found themselves in possession Jof millions,
 whereas in 1914 their wealth was esti- mated in thousands. But the great
 body of the American citizens, the mid
 de class, so to- call it, is still far from qualified to be named in the list of
 millionaires. Some of them are not as
 well off now as they were in 1914.
 SAILING DATES FOR FREIGHT Railroad managers seem to be of the
 opinion that if the roads can pool their
 freight equipment and especially es-
 tablish nonstop tonnage with so-called
 sailing days for local freight trains
 considerable relief from the railroad
 congestion and delays would be se--
 cured. One of the authorities is recent
 ly quoted as having said that it is esti-
 mated that each stop of an ordinary
 freight train involves a cost of from
 sS to s10. This statement was shown
 to one of the executive offices of the
 American Locomotive Company. After having read it he made brief est-
 mate of the cost and then said that the
 cost to stop a freight train at the
 smallest stations where one or two cars are switched to siding is never less than $50, and frequently as high as
 $l00. If there ares many small stations
 costs of this kind become heavy bur
 den It was one of the reasons why Charles S. Mellen when president of the
 New Haven Railroad Company under
 took to establish nonstop trains, while
 local freight trains were scheduled to stop at small stations only on certain days.

New York. August 16.-(Special.)-It is interesting to note the puzzled ex- pression of countenance which comes when the question is asked of some of the men of wisdom and long experience what is the real situation. They con- fess that they do not know. They do know from hour to hour and in some cases from day to day. but say that they look very far into the future. So many conflicting reports, all worthy of heed, are received that it is impossible to unravel the threads so that a good understanding of the situation can be secured. For instance. there is no doubt that cancellation of orders heretofore placed with industrial corporations is in progress, and with some ofSthe in. dustries these cancellations are heavy. On the other hand, official reports re- eeived from the state authorities at AL bany are to the effect that the falling off in industry in New York state for the past six months has been a little under one-half of 1 per cent The strikes which formally embarrassed in- dustry seem to~be almost eliminated Even the long shoreman on New York city's water front. who have been on strike for several months and must in the aggregate have lost millions have
 
 and have returned to work
 In Massachusetts, where the textile and leather industries are among the chief industries carried on in that state. a considerable falling off in business has taken place. In Connecticut one of the greatest industries of the United States, the brass industry, of which Waterbury is the center, reports a heavy falling off in business and a steady stream of cancellation of orders. This industry is the largest purchaser of copper. but it is now depressed-it, too, may be compelled to cancel orders for copper.
 On the other hand. the official re- ports of the trust companies in New York state show an increase of s36, 06O.- 900 in resources. the total being fthree billion five hundred million This in- crease has accumulated tin about four months. It is reasonable to presume that it represents to some extent at least industrial and merchantile ac- tivity.

most cases the fronts of the buildings
fell into the street, leaving the three
other walls standing, Inglewood resi-

the debris and boarding up the fronts
of buildings which had partly col
