Agency Changes Name

The Corporate name Of Collin Arm
strong, Inc, advertising agency, was
changed to Smith, Sturgis & Moore,
Inc. This change was brought about
through the retirement from the COM
pany of Collin Armstrong and the pur-
chase of the remaining stock by Frank
G. Smith, who is president of the COM
pany; William A. Sturgis, vice-presi-
dent, and Harold A. Moore, director in
Great Britain. There was no other
change in the personnel of the COM
many.

Rubber Shoe Trade Good

The rubber shoe industry is on the
threshold of one of the biggest seasons
yet experienced, in the belief Of rub
ber shoe dealers. Sales are said to
suxpass cen the 1920 season, heretofore
regarded as the banner year. Present
prices are guaranteed to July by many
manufacturers. One rubber shoe COM
pany Official said that sales of medium
priced tennis shoes are. far in advance
OF other standards.

message on the business out

HITTSBURGH, May 21.-In
message on the business out
look to the 1850 employees
Of the Youngstown Sheet and Tube
Company, James A. Campbell, presi-
dent, says:
ut is the business of an executive
to study conditions and to decide in
his own mind what is likely to happen
in the next six or twelve months, AS
it is oftsn necessary to buy ore a
whole years ahead and to contract for
other raw materials far in advance to
obtain supply to keep our plants in
operation, provided we haveN the bust
ness to do so; and while ne has better
sources OF information perhaps than
the average workman, any one can
analyze the future to his own satisfac-
ton, if he will give the time and
thought to it, about as we'll as the
manager Of the business.
'Te US the immediate future does
not look bright, tbecause we believe
that there are some underlying condi-
tionS Wnlcn must be rcmed1ed before
business in this country will again be-
come prosperous. 1t is our opinion
that the American Federation of Labor
has temporarily put a brake in the
wheel Of business progress, and until
this is removed by legislation or stern
necessity of the members of the
unions, we do not believe that business
will improve much throughout the
country.
""lt seems evident to me that high
transportation rates are largely at the
root of our present trouble. This is
vast country of long distances. The
crops are raised principally in the
West as are the cattle and hogs which
furnish the meat supply. Grain and
meat must be transported long dis
tances to supply the Eastern people
and for export. The cotton crop is
raised in the South, considerable por-
tion in Texas, which is far south, and
it must be transported to New England
to be made into textiles of different
kinds and they, in turn, are distributed
throughout the country, even to the
Pacific Coast

Putting In More Cash

"As a stockholder in the Texas Unit
ed Oil Company have received a
letter on the proposed reorganization
Of the company from Alfred S. Wright.
Of Philadelphia, in which it is sug-
gested that / subscribe s cents a share
for the stock hold to take the COM
pany out of receivership or sell at the
that others may reorganize the COM
pany. Could you tell me which course
to pursue 2"
II bought some stock of the Craven
Oil and Refining Company on the
strength of an advertisement I saw
(not in The Tribune) which said: "You
can share in the enormous profits of
these big gushers by helping us to
build our monster refinery in the heart
Of the great Desdemona oil pool"
haven't watched this, and am writing
to ask whether you could tell me what
the stock is worth"
The question then arises, Why are
fortunes made SO rarely? Some of the
panies are interestingly referred to in
the annual report of the Simms Petro-
leum Company. Simms is "going
concern" controlling through subsidi-
aries considerable acreage, principally
in Louisiana and Texas. There is no
intention of implying that Simms has
failed to meet expectations, but it's
case is cited simply to show the hazard
of the industry. The company is to be
commended, moreover, for so frankly
stating it's failures. The. report says
in part:
cat the organization of your COM
pany 2s0,990 shares of stock of Simms
Petroleum Company, of no par value,
were issued at $25 share, or $7,024,-

Of s10,000,000). Practically the only
asset Of Simms Oil Company at that
time was approximately 425,000 acres
of leases and $T0,047 worth of lease
equipment in Central Texas which
originally went on the company's books
at 100000 Prior to December 81,
1920, parcels Of this original Texas

were abandoned. leaving the book value

Thirteen wells were started prior
to June, 1920, on this original Texas

Effect of Rates

''If you will remember, freight rates
were increased 40 per cent on Septem-
Der last, and from the day this took
farmer has no ability to buy, because
although wheat may be quoted st $3.50
. bushel in Chicago, he must pay on
an average Of more than so cents a
bushel to have it delivered, so that he
received less than 81 bushel for his
wheat at his farm. The same thing is
true with reference to all other prod
ucts. 49,
1.-THE employees Of the railroads are
contending for war wages in peace
times. Therefore, the railroads are
unable to reduce freight rates, and as
n consequence manufacturing costs on
all of the things that we eat, wear or
produce In this country are kept on a
high plane--higher in fact than dur
ing the war.
"1he labor unions are doing q great
injustice, not only to their own people,
but TO the other 85 per cent Of the peo-
pie of this country who do not belong
to these unions, by insisting on wages
that make lower freight rates impos-
sible, thus keeping a reduction OF
freight rates, they are adding to the
cost OF living for everyone. A good
example of the effect of high freight
rates may be found in the experience
Of California fruit grower who
shipped carload of oranges to COM
mission merchant in New York, and
requested him TO pay the freight, sell
the oranges and remit the balance,
less his commission.
"Instead of receiving n check, the
grower received bill for $50, the value
s< No hn mn
ket being absorbed by the high freight
rates. .
BjiIding at StasdstiU
"To add to this trouble, the. building
trades from one end Of the country to
the other, have been on strike since
May 1, and there is comparatively little
building going on at present. The
building trades are contending for
wages they received last year, and, in
fact, higher wages than they received
in many instances during the war. Peo-
pie cannot afford to build with the
prices Of lumber, brick and other ma
terials thae enter into the cost kept up
by high freight rates, and with last
years prices demanded for building
trades labor.
Wages generally have been reduced
throughout the country an average OF
20 per cent, and the prices of many
commodities have been reduced accord
ingly, so that the cost Of loving, out
side of rents, is considerably less than
it was year ego. But if you want to
build house you should not be forced
to pay the. high freight on lumber and
brick which present wages on the rail-
roads make necessary. Nor should you.
having had your wages reduced, have
I opay the wages the building trades
are trying to maintain at present. Few
people will build under such circum
stances.
IL am thoroughly convinced that, If
the wages of all the workers in this
country ware reduced to about the same
level, the cost of living would be con-
sidsrably lower than it is st the pres
snt tise. the ssst Of building wauld bs

considerable extent through a lack OF
proper financing facilities, but they

has set the pace, but II she would hold

countries. Therefore, when the ques-
tion of foreign purchases Of material
