Financiers Call Luuch
Charges Nonsensical
:. II. Sabin Sees appeal to
Ignorance and Prejudice
Which Is Untrue and Infnir

Heads of Wall Street financial in
situations yesterday branded as "ridic-
ulous, absurd and nonsensical" the
charges of conspiracy of capital to
force general industrial shutdown
and widespread reduction in the wages
of labor. The disposition generally
was to laugh at the charge that any
group of institutions could be respon-
sible for process of detlation that is
Worldwide in its scope.
Charles Fl. Sabin, president of the
Guaranty Trust Company, declared the
charges were absolutely false.

pany is concerned" he said, "the state
ment reported to have been made bv
W, Jett Lauck in Chicago before the
Railroad Labor Board is absolutely and
unqualitedly false in every respect.

associates ever heard of such an al

proposition relating to it..
Economic Absurdtes Charged
CAS- to the specious reasoning that
the industrial paralysis is capital on
strike against society," any observer of
the general economic situation must be
aware that the existing industrial de-
preston in the United States is due to
postwar worldwide conditions, and
that If capital went on strike against
society 1T would be striking against
itself and suffer quite as rluch as So
ciety. Capital which is composed of
the savings of all classes, would have

needing such economic fallacies and

statement referred to.

to plead his cause is almost invariab1v
to attempt to set up a mythical wall

Just another instance of that kind
OF utterly unwarranted appeal to pop

Uphold The Law

Ever Before For Their
LaWless Business.
Organized gangs from the city 60 out
into the small towns and farm districts and
burglarieS and thefts increase.
Tramps annoy, steal from and frighten
residents along the roads.
Automobiles violate the motor vehicle
laws and state highway laws, menaclng the
lives of pedestrians and decent drivers.
The constable system, as it exists in
rural districts, does not begin to meet these
menacing conditions. 4
Unless a remedy is found, the farmer
and village dweller can get little benefit from
the Law supposed to protect them.
The one plan that offers anything like
affective relief is the creation of an adequate,
prompt and thoroughly trained state police
force.
The Royal Canadian Mounted Police
has a record of success in work of this kind
and has maintained order and punished
crime in the wild and turbulent Northwest
in a manner that has never been surpassed.
PENNSYLVANIA has had its rural districts
poliCed by it's state force for some years with
Wonderful success.
New York started its state police in
1917, and its force of 234 men has been
sufficient to revolutionize conditions of law
and order. Tramps give the country dis
tricts of the state the go-by.
Automobiles are far less reckless than
they were, and the arrest and punishment
of 1892 violators of the motor vehicle law
made travel comparatively safe on New
York's roads in 1919.
We need such an organization in this
state.
