the past"
In his communication, Mr.. Worthing-
ton spoke very highly Of the work Of
Myron r. Green, director of industry,
saying; The report speaks for Itself,
except that I might add that the excel
lent results that have been accomplished
during this year of business uncertainty,

der depressed conditions, reflects much
credit upon the ability and capacity OF
our director of industry. Mr. Myron R.
Green, and think the Chamber is to bs

peculiar qualifications upon its Official

ADVISES EXTENSION
OF COOPERATVON
In the report of the bureau Of indus
try, after stating that after years ex-
perience with all types of industries the
writer believes the Chamber of Com.
merce should extend its cooperation to
the small industry whenever possible" it
is suggested that the committee give
consideration to a plan whereby there
might be organized from the membership
of the Chamber of Commerce a small
group of men who are specialists In va
rious types Of industrial endeavor, this
group to meet with the heads Of small in
dustries on request to give the new COM
pany the benefit of advice of those who
have been successful in solN ing all types
of business problems"
Assistance" says the report, has
been given more than seventy new in
dustries during the year but a few OF
these already have fallen in the face of
competition, inadequate finances, or con-
Gitions coming out Of abnormal indus
trial inactivity. There are sixty five in
dustries on the list hereafter set forth I
and definite service and help were giveR'
approximately sixty of these by the bu- [
reau. Some of the compa aies have post
pOned temporarily making connectionA

HARDING VIEWS
YEAR WITH HOPE
Desires to Make Government
Economy Record Early in
Administration.

MARION, Ohio, Jan. 1-President-ele
i arding faced the opening of the new
year today, confident that his administra-
tion would bring back the normal pros
perity Of the country; reduce the taxes,
and establish q sound business founda-
tion. Economic questions are uppermost
in his mind and he is looking as much
toward restoring a sound economic condi-
ton as to the involved international tan
gle which confrouts him. 1t was to OBJ
tain light on the situation and the pros
poets of relief that Harding has called
numerous congressional leaders and tiDan-
ciaI experts to Marion this week.
Information obtained from them has
led the President elect to believe that
under his administration the heavy bur
den Of wartime taxation can be dimin-
ished and that business conditions can
be improved by sound administration
and legislative measures. Harding is
informed by experts of the Federal Re
serve Board that the most difficult stage
of the readjustment period has passed
and that the economic situation is
sounder today than it was year ago.
Hope Of holding government appropri-
ations this year TO three billion dollars
was expressed to Harding by Congress
man Mondell, House majority leader. If
lllS is accom- pLSueu, an lulHeuidte re-
duction in taxes would be possible early
in the Harding administration. The
Presdent-elect is looking forward to
making this one Of the outstanding
achievements for his first year in the
White House.
Those who climb aboard the water
wagon today may find 1t impossible even
to fall off after March t. Republican
leaders reiterated today the determination
of the Harding administration TO enforce
the eighteenth amendment with the ut
most vigor.
Whatever effect on prohibition public
opinion may dictate later, there Is no
doubt expressed here as to the absolute
determination to enforce the present law
by every means within the power Of the
Federal Government.
Senator Harding spent a quiet New
Years eve at home, tired with week
filed with appointments. He issued no
New Years message and did not even
wait up to see the new year in. He
passed today at his desk in an effort to
catch up with helated correspondence,
receiving put few visitors.

SEN. PENROSE
TO LEAD FIGHT
ON TARIFF BILL
DisapprOves Emergency Legis-
IatiOn and Measure May
Be Defeated.
SOLDIER BONUS ACT HIT

WASHINGTON, Jan. with Senator
Penrose personally in charge, the fight
over emergency tariff legislation in the
Senate will usher in the new year. The
finance committee. which will meet Mon
day or Tuesday. will consider the bill as
passed by the House places an embargo
on the importation Of many commodities.
Senators freely predicted today that
the bill will never get out OF committee.
Penrose. chairman Of the committee, and
without question the most influential Re
publican In Congress, has expressed his
disapproval of the measure IA unmistaka-
BILE words The Democratic members OF
the committee recently went on record
as opposed to IT, In view Of the strength
Of this opposition, the bills supporters
conceded today that they would have
difficult time getting a favorable re-
port from the committee. They hope
to do so. however, by msSing radical
amendment In the House bill so as to
limit il practically TO half a dozen com
moditles Including wheat and wool.
HEAR FROM
BUSINESS WORLD.
Both supporters and opponents Of the
bin have been hearing from abroad, as
well as from American business men,
that enactment OF this legislation, while
It might help certain farmers, would IN
evitabIy react against American business
by closing foreign markets.
The soldier bonus bill which also L.
before the Finance Committee, stands
hardly a better show than the tariff
measures, Senators said Penrose has let
&c be known that he viii oppose with all
his influence any measure which puts
upon the treasury a new burden which
must be carried over 70 the Harding ad-
ministratlon.
The PENNSYLVANIA delegation in Con-
rress was to call on Senator Penrose
Senator Knox. HIS colleague, already has
discussed with him Knox's visit 70
President-elect Harding on the status OF
legislation.
PENROSE CHANGED
IN APPEARANCE.
Senators who have seen Penrose since
his return to Washington were amazed
and saddened by the change in his ap-
pearance. His four months illness has
plainly told on him, although he ap-
peared rs vigorous mentally IS ever.
Penrose. with a large retinue, has
taken a spacious suite Of rooms on the
top floor Of q big apartment hotel here.
It is from this apartment, rather than
the capitol. that PenrOse will play his
part I'm this session OF Congress and in
the new administration, as his physicians
have warned him against any strenuous
exertion.
