Experiences that rival fiction for
thrills, are related by Frank Wissler,
Richmond man who represented the
G. Amsinck company, of New York in
Guatemala during the recent revolu-
ton, and overthrow of the president,
Manuel Estrada CABRERA.
Wissler has been connected with
the New York firm since last August
and was assigned to look up American
and foreign loans in Central America.
During the early months of his stay,
he had many opportunities to observe
conditions.
Quoting Wissler "Cabera's rule
grew more despotic until the Guatema-
Ian congress declared him to be insane
and unfit for rule of the country. Now
CABRERA had been at the head of the
government for % years and had
armed and equipped a fine army. He
had allowed no arms to be imported.
These troops received good pay and
all had splendid equipment.

Cost of Strikes in 1919
Two Billions; Banker
Speaks on Present Unrest
(By Associated PreSs)

NEW YORK, May 19.-An incom-
plete list Of direct losses due to
strikes in 1919, places the cost in
wages at nearly s725, 100000 and to
industry at more than one and one
quarter billion dollars, Francis H.
Sisson, vice-president of the Guaranty
Trust company of New York told the
Silver Jubilee convention of the ma
tional association of manufacturers
here today.
The chief danger in the present
situation, Mr.. Sisson said, is that the
desirability of low prices as an end
il itself may be so exaggerated as to
lead to the attempt to force prices
down through harmful measures for
the control of credit.
The banker spoke at length on in
dustrial unrest, analyzing it's effect on
the country's economic condition and
blaming strike fevers for high living
costs and increased rents. He urged
the conservation of our natural re-
sources as a means of maintaining our
economic position in the world.

STATE INSTITUTIONS
FAVORED FOR FUEL

INDIANAPOLIS, May 19.-Recom-
nendation that the Interstate Com
merce Commission at on9e establish
priority regulations for the shipment
of coal from the mines to state institu-
tions and utilities in Indiana will be
made by the public service commits
sion.
John ". McCardle, vice chairman Of
the commission. announced today that
this recommendation included in the
report the Indiana commission was to
make to the commerce commission
today.
The seriousness of the fuel situation
as it relates to state institutions was
called to the attention of the commits
sion by the state joint purchasing
committee, which reported that all the
institutions are in need of coal to keep
their power plants in operation and
that each is down to one or two days

reason. The purchasing committee
and Governor Goodrich are considering
plan for the state to purchase a mine

South American Market--Nicholson

Raymond B. Nicholson, who for the
last 10 months has travelled extern

told vividly Wednesday the conditions
now existing and some of the rem

is especially true of the British peo-
pie there, for they have secured a
firm hold upon many of the business
houses"

The complete process is carefully
regulated, and the English merchant
Cr manufacturer will wait six months
and pay 10 per cent more for his goods
in order to get them from England,
than to buy any necessity from an

hands.
