GETTING IN SHAPE
FOR COMING SESSION
improvements At Shepherd
College.

Shepherdstown, Sept. local
painters and paperhangers are at
work this week getting the motel
building, recently bought by the
State as boys dormitory for Shep-
| herd College, ready for occupancy by
the students. The interior is being
reprinted and most OF the rooms
will be newly papered. Workmen
are installing an additional bath
room and the heating plant will also
| be overhauled. The entire build
ing will be put in good order and
| the premises improved generally.
Meals will probably not be served in
the dormitory at present, the plan
being to serve the young men in the
dining room at the girls dormitory.
William Luria, who has been a
resident Of Shepherdstown for the
past five or six years, has moved
with his family to Martinsburg,
where he will conduct a rooming
hotel, the Colonial. on Martin
/ street. He and his family leave a
number Of friends here who are sor-
ry to see them leave town, for they
have been respected residents Of this
place.
Invitation dances will be held in
/ the community building Monday and
| Thursday nights Of next week. The
! proceeds are for the improvement Of
| the building, and the money will be
spent under the direction of the
trustees. Those in charge of the
dances announce that every effort
will no IA 70 ri "
conducted and nothing offensive or
improper will be tolerated.
There was q rather exciting col
lision Wednesday at the corner of
Princess and Washington streets be-
tween Ford touring car driven by
G. w. Myers, from south Of town,
and w. r. Legge, of this place. The
cars collided with considerable force
and both were damaged quite badly
but fortunately neither Of the occu-
| pants was hurt-and both garages
were handy.
Mr.. and Mrs. A. w. Finly, of De.
troit, are here for visit to Mrs.
Finly's parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Fl. c..
Marten. They made the journey east
| in their automobile.
Hon. Harvey w. Harmer, of
Clarksburg, is here for a few days.
Mr.. Charles w. Spicer, a retired
policeman, of Baltimore, who has
been in Shepherdstown the past
month or two, boarding with MIR
and Mrs. Willis E. Skinner, has been
called back to Baltimore by the
death of his stepmother He had
intended to remain here for the fair
but will not now return.

GENERAL BUSINESS

conditions during August, issued to-
night by the federal reserve board

Current Business Conditions
fr til. Monthly Letter Issued by
"A rUCH Of the trouble which is
INs being experienced over wage

a TUCH Of the trouble which is
M being experienced over wage
- adjustments now results
from the reckless methods which
prevailed in governmental expendi-
lures during the war. Govern
mental expenditures dominated the
Industrial situation, and they were
met in the main by the use OF credit.
There was no pretense in govern
mental finance OF making ends
r,cct, but private business cannot
bc carried on in that way.
Even more OF the present trouble
ro5"lts from tic vague talk that was
eemron IN the war, and is common
Gaq, to tho effect that radical
,aue:c was taking place in indus
ri relations and that the wage
ming class in the future would
h19c a larger share of the industrial
2foiuct than in the past.
This declaration doubtless has ex-
pressed kindly wish or hope that
the position OF the wage-earning
class would be improved, but those
who utter il seldom have any def
mite idea about how the wish may
be realized. They expect somebody
else to realize it, The fact is that
the distribution OF current prodSc-
ton takes place according to nat
urai economic laws, and those laws
are the same now as they were be-
fore the war. In Russia an attempt
has been made to increase the dis
tribution OF wealth without regard
to economic law, or the facts of
human nature, with the result that
industry has been paralyzed, pro-
duction has come almost to stand
still, and the notion has been re-
duced to beggary.
Another error is in enormously
exaggerating what might be done
for the masses by selling the in
comes OF the rich. In the first place
the masses now get so large share
of all that is produced that il 1t
was possible for them to get all the
rest it would make no great change
in their condition; and in the second
place every attempt to seize the rest
BY arbitrary methods causes it to
disappear, as it has in Russia.
The iallacy is in thinking that the
leaders and managers OF industry
and business are not worth as much
as they get, for every experiment
in getting along without them shows
that they are worth a great deal
more than they get. Everything
goes to pieces without them.
This does not, of course, mean
that the individuals now holding
positions OF leadership and manage
n1ent are all indispensable. If they
should all pass away others would
be found to take their places, but
there must be leadership and recog-
milton OF ability and reward for
initiating and service, or society goes
to pieces. Even the LABOR orGaniza-
tons find it necessary to have lead
crs, and pay them salaries much in
excess of the average earnings OF
The members
Professor David Friday, OF the
Martinsburg journal. [volume] (Martinsburg, W. Va.) 1920-1977, 1921-09-03

Furthermore, 1t should be consid-
cred that not all of the EOS per cent
which goes to interest and dividends
is retained by the recipients for their
personal use, as part of it is re-
invested for the development of in
dustry. In fact all that the owners
receive above their living expenses
is returned to industry and dis
burscd in some form to labor.
After making allowance for that
proportion of the EOS per cent
which is return upon personal saw
ings, and that portion OF the re-
niainder which is returned to in
dustry for the common service, how
much of capitals remaining share
can labor reasonably expect to get,
and how much of a disturbance in
industry can it afford to make in
order to got it?
The great lesson of the present
situation is that there is certain
fair and proper adjustment of rcla-
tons between the people employed
in all of the various occupations. 1t
is natural adjustment. made By
the people themselves in selecting
the work they shall do, taking ac-
count of their abilities, inclinations
and all the conditions surrounding
employment. When natural and
Just relationship is disturbed, the
industrial organization slows down
until whatever IS wrong is made
right. 1t is like an automatic loom
which wcavcs cloth without a ten
der until something gees wrong,
and then stops and Will 20 TO more
until that something is fixed.

The total paid in interest and divi-
dends was 20.8 per cent of the
values created. That is what went
as compensation to the people who
provided the capital employed in
these industries. 1t did not all go
to rich people. The interest pay
ments went for borrowed money,
and many Of the securities of these
corporations arc owned by savings
banks, insurance companies, chi
ployes and small investors. The un-
distributed surplus is not personal
income, but part of the capital
employed in the business. 1t is be-
ing used to enlarge the bu.:ncss,
increase the product and afford en-
ployment to more labor. As long
as it is so employed it is a common
