cal or other circumstances permitted them to work in munition plants made good wages. Much of this money was saved by the foreign-born and is being used now for expenses in travelling abroad. This account largely for wholesale sums now be- ing withdrawn from local banks.
 These sums are not the actual working capital of the banks, nor do they represent the normal deposits, but are what might be called surplus savings by foreigners planning to go home. Many of these European, es- pecially those who have become naturalized Americans, will return when there is employment here for them.
 Thirty-three Polish people, includ- ing portions of seven families, left this morning, through the agency of ex-Mayor George A. Quigley for New York from which city they will sail tomorrow for Danzig by way of Gothenburg, on the steamship Drot- tingholm, of the Swedish American line. Those who left today are as follows:

$6,5O0 BAIL HOLDS
 KIDNAPPED MAN
Sharon, Pay ToWnsmen Pack Court for Hearing

sharon, Pa, July 22.-Thomas M Randolph, Sharon business man who returned to his family last eve ming after a mysterious absence since Monday night, during which time letters were received by his wife stating that he had been kidnapped" and was being held for $50,00O ran- some, was examined today by Mayor Frank Gilbert on charges of attempt ing to obtain money under false pre- lenses, attempted blackmail and ex- tortion, using the mails in a scheme to defraud. and charge based on his alleged relations with an unnam- ed woman. There was a great crowd of Rando1ph's fellow-townsmen in the courtroom for the hearing.
 Randolph pleaded not guilty to each charge, waived hearing, and, when he did not provide necessary bail, was put in cell in the local po- lice station
 Three of the charges were made by Chief of Police Lansdowne and the fourth, using the mails in a scheme to defraud, was made by Postal In- spector George V. Craighead. It was reported last evening that a defense of temporary insanity would be made when the case comes up in court. Bail amounting to $6,500 on all charges was demanded.
 The Sharon police charge that Randolph left home with another woman and conceived the Kidnapping plan as means of attempting to get $50.0O0 from his relatives, among whom are Henry Buh1 of Boggs & Buhl, Pittsburgh; Mrs. Frank Buhl, widow of the late Frank Buhl. steel magnate of Sharon, and the Buhl fa- mily of Detroit. The Buhls are cous- ins of E. V. Randolph, the prisoners father.
 From his cell in the police station Randolph this morning still main tained he was kidnapped.
 T feel better now,' he said, since I got some of the dope out of my system. was kidnapped. There were thirteen in the gang. Seven of them held me under guard at Stone boro. I was supposed to meet the gang in front of the Fort Pitt hotel in Pittsburgh on Wednesday,"
 The mysterious woman who met Randolph at the Sharon station of the Pittsburgh & Lake Erie railroad on Monday afternoon, after letters were received from the "abductors'' of Randolph demanding $50,000, was being sought today by the police, who believed she could throw considerable light on the case.
 The police are unable to determine why the letters were written to E. " Randolph, father of the man, de- manding $50,000. There were two letters received in different handwrit- ings, and the police believed the mys- terious woman wrote one.

and poorly designed equipment are given as secondary causes
 The annual economic loss due to ac- cidents was estimated as high as one hundred and twenty million dollars Application of safety methods, it was Stated, would save the industry twelve million days work a year. Loss through duplication of estimates and designs, and duplication in bidding, was said to run into millions.
 An acute national shortage of hous- ing exists, the report stated, because Of prohibitive construction costs to householder and banker.
 Many union regulations were con- demned as absolutely wrong, and both employers and employees were blamed for restriction of output
 Union regulations in the past have produced enormous losses" said the report, through direct or indirect re- striction of output. Workmen and contractors, however, are beginning to appreciate that reduced output re- acts in tremendous fashion upon themselves.
 Greater cooperation between workmen and employers is an abso- . lute essential. This cooperation must be attained before we can approach the elimination of labor difficulties Such cooperation, however, is i'm possible without the removal of causes Of friction and the working out of plans to this end.''
 The report deplored the irregular ;ty of employment for building trade workmen, declaring they were busy only on an average of about 190 days in a year. The strike was declared to be one of the greatest economic wastes in the building industry.
 ''The waste to the men engaged the contractor, and t,sa Hublic is hard to estimate," it was aa.>>,sd.

ferred to Dublin today with the de- parture Of Eamonn De Valera and his cabinet for the seat of their gov ernment.
 The Irish leader is taking with him document he received yesterday from the hands of David Lloyd George, the British prime minister, setting forth definite proposals by the British government as a settlement of the Irish problem.
 Will Submit Documents.
 These proposals will be submitted to the members of the Dail Eireann, as well as other prominent Irish re- publicans, and MT. Lloyd George will hear from time to time how the dis cussions are proceeding. Later MT. De Valera, it is expected, will return to London for further conversations and Sir James Craig, the Ulster pre- mier may re-enter the negotiations a. this time.
 The Irish leader appeared to be in a cheerful frame of mind as he emerged from his conference with the British premier yesterday, all though an agreed communique issued immediately after the meeting said
 
 ence has yet been found.' Truce Will Continue. In this connection it is authorita- lively stated that the truce in Ire- land will continue for an indefinite period thus convincing the most skeptica1 that the factions are still far from discouraged. ... London newspapers this morning take an exceedingly cheerful view of the entire situation refusing even to anticipate the probability of break down. Several political correspond ents supply reported versions of the premier's statement to the southern Irish leader which although they agree in some points differ sufficient ly in detail to show that the terms still remain largely matter of spec ulation, and will not be cleared up until the official text of the pro- posals is made public, many quar- ters believe this will be done by Lloyd George in the house of commons to- day. Meanwhile opposition from the ex- treme unionists appears to have hardened somewhat as result of an interview several Ulsterite mem
 
 Chamberlain, leader of the govern ment forces, yesterday.
 Ulster Unyielding. While this interview is understood to have had for it's purpose the con- ciliation of Ulster supporters in the house of commons a statement is- sued by the deputation later in the day said that MT. Chamberlain's ex- plantations were entirely unsatisfac- tory" and that about 40 of the dis senters had met and passed resolu- tions expressing grave apprehension over the governments Irish policy"
 Just how much this hostility will be allowed to affect the government is not yet apparent. The London Times says it is not to be under-es- timated, and adds certainly the re- lief and satisfaction which will be- produced by settlement along any lines would sweep tho opposition aside and give the government overwhelm7 ing authority to conclude the arrange. ments."

SALARY CUTS EFFECTIVE.
Reductions Expected to Reduce Rail-
 road Operating Costs $5,OOO,OOO.

New York, July 22.-FinanciaL circles estimated today that the ex- penses of railroads throughout the United States would be reduced. shortly s5,ooo,0o0 a year by a ten per cent reduction in salaries of ex- ecutive and supervisory officers. Five large systems already have announced such reduction and others are ex-i pected to follow suit.
 The salary total of railroad presi- dents is estimated at $6,00O,000, six executives in New York alone receiv-, ing $50,000 or more year. The amount paid to general officers dur-i ing 1920 was approximately $25.000,- 900 and that paid to other @1acers about the same.

De Valera Is Hopeful.

London July 22-Eamonn De Valera arrived at Huston station shortly after 8 o'clock this morning to take an eight-thirty train for Dub lin. To newspapermen who pressed him for an interview, he said:
 Although the immediate future is uncertain, we have perfect confid- ence in the ultimate success of our cause.''
 A few minutes later he stood up in his carriage to address a large crowd of Irish enthusiasts who swarmed about the station. First in Irish then in English he thanked them for com ing out so early in the morning to bid him goodbye, and said everywhere he went he found the same enthusiasm for the Sim Fein which only a just cause could inspire.
 Sure of Ultimate Success.
 TT am perfectly certain our cause will win in the end. It may take some time to accomplish, but success cer- tainly will come Of that I am con- fident,' he said.
 Cheering and singing, the crowd surrounded the train, just as it was steaming out an old Irish woman made her way to the front and shouted.
 God bless you, sir, Ireland needs you" Which MT. De Valera ac- knowledged by smiling and waving his hand.

HARTFORD, CT, Feb. 10, 1921.
The situation in Connecticut seems to
be gradually going from bad to worse,
unsettling uncertainty being solidified
into definite disappointment as inspec-
ton of the tobacco, as it comes through
the cure, brings to light an even larger
percentage of inferior tobacco than the
gloomiest predictions forecasted Lo-
cal packers who have followed the crop
since its planting frankly brand it as
dangerous The percentage of so-called
"calico" and damaged tobacco is large.
Much of the Broadleaf, which was con-
tracted for in the field at prices rang
ing from 80 to 90 cents, is being refus-
ed on delivery and deposits sacrificed.
The same applies in an even greater
degree to the Havana Seed, much of
which was contracted for at 45 to So
cents, says the Leaf.
Probably no more forcible object les
son of the fallacy of field buying was
ever furnished than that provided by
the Connecticut transactions the past
year.

NEW YORK, Feb. IL, 1921


The u. S. Tobacco Journal says:
Binders have been in demand, with but
small supply available. The buying
of the 1920 Ohio and Pennsylvania crops
continues, headed by the larger cigar
manufacturing concerns, and apparent
ly it will result in a fairly clean sweep
in both states. Prices have stiffened
slightly in the latter part of the week,
although the highest prices paid are
considerably below those demanded by
the farmers lase fall 1t would not be
surprising if resumption of buying
were noted in Wisconsin, in the south
ern section of which state large GUAM
tity Of tobacco remains in first hands
There Is no likelihood of such prices
being paid, however, as were paid dur
ing last falPs buying move ment in that
state.
The Leaf says: Under normal cir
cumstances. the lifting of very large
percentage of the low grade tobaccos
in Connecticut, Wisconsin ard Ohio is
usually completed at this time Of the
year. But up to the present writing
no move and no indication of such a
move has been made. If for one rea-
son or another the stemming concerns
should persist in this disinterested at
titude, it is easily conceivable that a
perplexing, not TO say distressing,
problem may confront the growers.

Wisconsin Tobacco Market
EDGERToN, Wis. Feb. 25, 1921,

EUGEhION, WIS.,, Il SU. I'd, 1871,
Some sales are made. 8. Crops have
gone for cents. Presumably that was
all they were worth as the market now
stands for short stemming goods. The
stemmers, however, are not going after
the tobacco even at that price; if they
knew that they could buy right and left
for figures like that, there might be
something doing, but they know, of
course, how the rank and file of the
growers feel about such an offer. The
leafier crops that have changed hands
are taken for about the same figures as
last week, from Is to 25 cents-any-
where between these points. The New
York leaf market does not hold out
any hope for any such activity for
southern Wisconsin as is now progress
ing in Pennsylvania and Ohio where the
filler markets have taken such an active
upturn for the better. Of the cooper
ative handling of 1920 tobacco in Wis
cOnsin not much can be said, except
that the Rock county growers have
definitely arranged their pood and ex-

leaf, store and sell it Comparatively.
Voices have been raised during the
time that this pool was in the making,
Of putting forth an effort to unite all
tobacco growers, at least in the south
ern part of the state, into one cooper
ative concern, and to adopt as per-
manent policy cooperative handling
storing and direct selling. The grow
ers, however, are not so much concern
ed with next year. and following crops
which may prove to contain much
higher percentage of good binder leaf
than the 1920 crop does; but they are
concered about their 1920 crop, and
want to make the most out of it, and
hope to do so by packing on the ac-
count of their associations. When sew
eral of the farmers warehouses have
not opened yet, it is not only due to the
fact that the farmers desire to hold for
a reviving market, but also to the fact
that they consider it safe to depend on
being able to hire all the hands needed to
pack the crop, even though the work
might extend through some of the sum-
mer months, when the private packers
will have finished packing all of their
leaf and released large number of ex
perienced workers.

LANCASTER. PA. Feb. 10, 10:


The buying break in the Lancaster
tobacco market came like bolt from a
clear sky last week 1t now appears
that the activity displayed by the man
ufacturers who entered the field and
were picking up good crops right and
left, prompted the big fellows to get
busy-and they did, with vengeance.
The General Cigar Co. needed at least
Is, 600 cases, and their buyers went out
and purchased on all sides. Their ac-
tivity has been continuing this week
and their operations were devoted to
the southern end of the county. In
Bart township alone they picked up
dozen or more crops, for which they
paid II and cents. The Eisenlohrs
were busy in the same section and for
some good crops paid 18 and S. Ia a
week or ten days practically all of the
Lancaster county crop of 1920 will have
either been contracted for or actually
transferred. Allen r. Cressmen's Sons
entered the field early and bought at II
and 18 cents. Yesterday the prices
stiffened and 18 and 20 cents was paid.
