tests Against Hoover.

kansas City, Mo-, Oct. 22.-United
States Senator James A. Reed Of
Missouri, in personally conducted
meeting at convention hall here last
night for the purpose, he said, of
giving an accounting of his stew
ardship, declared that SO long as
the voters "elect senate that be-
lieves in nationalism as against in-
ternationalism" their interests will
be safe.
mo treaty can ever have the breath
of life breathed into it except in
the United States senate" he con-
tirued. '"The Democratic candi-
date for president is ;or the present
League of Nations with reserva-
tions, but nobody knows what they
are. If he is elected fear the in
fluence of Woodrow Wilson.
THE Republican candidate for
president is for an association OF
nations, but sssserts he does not
know what it Will be; II he is elect
ed, shudder at the influence Of
Elihu Root and thlf international
bankers.
OBVIOUSLY. Americas interests
demand the election of senate that
will spurn every form Of iltsraa-
tionalism."
Calls Meeting Himself.
Senator Reed began his speech
by explaining that he had called
the meeting himself and that &c
political party, committee or eau
didate waS in any way responsible
for what he said last night. He
declared he never had failed for a
moment to remember that as a
member of the senate his votes AZ
fected liz, 900, 900 Aemrican citizens
and that serious mistakes might
bring disaster to the republic.
"If the time ever comes when
congress takes orders from the

mess Prospects Every
where Are Bright.

New York, Oct. 22.-Buginess
prospects are unusually bright. both
in the United States and abroad, Ell
bert H. Gary, head OF the United
States Steel corporation, declared
in an. address before the American
Iron and Steel institute here today.
Although this is a time for cour-
age. composure and caution" Mr..
Gary said, "the business skies are
practically without clouds. AS al
ways. there may be showers from
time to time, but there is nothing In
the atmosphere to indicate the ap-
pfoach of dangerous storms.
IF there shoAld be a serious re-
action and depression" he contin-
ued, which now seems improbable,
1t will be the fault OF those who are
connected with business operations
or -others who by reason Of official
positions, improperly interfere. and
not because of any fundamental de-
ficiencies in our resources and op-
portunities..
Without referring to individual
cases or lines OF general business,
l believe in many instances prices
have been outrageousiy high. This
observation applies more especially
to middlemen, sO-called. and to
smaller departments of industry. 1t
also includes employees in certain
trades; but 1t does not pertain un-
der present conditions to the masses
OF workmen.
Lower Tendency.
The present tendency is toward
q lower. more reasonable and fair
or relative basis. The difficulty is
found in thesfac that every indi-
vidual is perfectly willing that all
others shall make reductions-the
larger. the better. Now a general
public, including particularly those
who are neither buyers nor sellers
to any larger extent, will in one
way or another bring about a fair
and reasonable adjustment OF
prices. The law OF supply and de-
mand will be the principle factor.
The people of the United States
have reason for confidence in the
business feature. They need not
be discouraged nor impatient"
Speedy recovery OF industry in
France and Belgium from the raw
ages of war, was predicted by Mr.
Gary.
Il think France has one OF the
best administrations she has ever
had" Mr.. Gary continued. 1.-The
president is strong, resourceful
honest and has the confidence o1
everyone. The cabinet is made uI
OF good men. We shall see great
progress economically, financially
and commercially during the next
few years."

WORMS Amt
50 Plentiful" !"
Men Seeking Jobs Instead OF Jobs
Seeking Men-Early Bird
Gets Worm.

St. Louis, Mo-, Oct. 22.-(United
Press. THE early bird is about to
make his appearance again. Dur
ing the war the early bird 'laid OF !"
There were SO many worms that
there was no reason the early bird
should wind the alarm dingus on
his clock and crawl out OF the hay
before sunup. But the worms
amt SO plentiful as they was"
In other words the Job hunter
that we'll known specimen OF pre-
war days-is returning. The man
who wants the Job has got to be an
early bird, a canvass Of local en-
ployment agencies revealed.
There are from 5000 to 10000
unemployed in st. Louis, accord
ing to estimates Of several agents.
The number of Jobs available today
are only about one-third the num-
ber that were available six weeks
ago. The number Of applicants is
above the normal figure for many
months.
Comparatively speaking the num-
'ber of applicants for jobs has not
increased. in the same proportion
that the number Of jobs has de-
creased. This is believed due to
the fact that workers finding them
selves out Of a job are living On
the savings stored away during the
months Of high wages. 1t Is also
said that workers when applying
for new Jobs face slight decrease
In wages which tends to make
them reluctant to return to work.
Situation Reversed.
Supply and demand are reyers-
ing themselves said James W.
Noonan, superintendent Of the Mis-
souri, Free Employment Bureau.
The man ID beginning to seek the
Job instead OF the Job hunting him.
There has been ! lay-oif Of workers
until many factories and other
business enterprises are operating
on q much smaller basis than few
weeks ago"
Many men. who hitherto would
have sneered 1t the idea Of going
to work for . railroad are now only
too willing to 60 ont on an extra
gang or road work, agents said.
It was the general belief that as
old H. C. L. wrought havoc with
the workers savings more and
more applicants would be thrown
ON tho lamOf market, Jobs will
become more and more scArce--
and the early bird will again take
his place q the fellow who gets the
WoFm.
