Louisville. Ky, March 20 - That
financial disaster would follow the
reduction of advertising rates was
the consensus of opinion of publish
ers and advertising executives of
newspapers attending here today a
meeting of the officers and directors
of the National Association of News
paper Executives, according to
Charles Miller of Atlanta, Ca, pres
ident.
Retailers have been mislead by
the spot market prices of paper"
said Mr.. Miller. ut is true that the
spot market price of paper has drop
ped from 12 cents pound to Z.
However, publishers buy their paper
on contract Last year they were
paying four cents, now they are pay
ing 1-2 Then. too. freight rates
are higher and there have been no
reductions in the wage scales of
union men. Consequently lower
rates are out of the question"

The body of William A. Harris,
former secretary of the Maine
Public Health Association, was
found on the Verona Island
shore of the Penobscot river, a
short distance below this vii
lage, this afternoon.
Harris was thirty-three
years old, a former resident of

served for some time as secre-
tary of the Health Association

his mind became unbalanced.

1920, of his own accord and
came to Bangor December
18th, when he called a fare
well party" at the house of the
treasurer of the association,
Ralph N. Whittier.
He showed such signs of de-
rangement that a physician
was left IN charge of him for
the night. Harris, however,
eluded him, escaped from the
house and no trace of him
could be found.
Leslie Kenney, a young man
living on Verona Island who
found the body which was
identified by a pocketbook, will
receive the $500 reward offered
by the association.

Be JUST WITH
WORKERS ADVICE
OF COOLIDGE
Should Not Be Pressed
for Undue Advan-
tage
But at Same Time Must Have
Thought for Necessities Of
Consumer - Vice President
Gives Views in Weekly Pub
LEGATION Boston Chamber of
Commerce

Boston, Mar. 20-The country's eco
nomic need at the moment in the
opinion of Vice-President Calvin
Coolidge, is just dealing with en-
ployes of business enterprises, with
thought at the same time for the ne
cessities Of the consumers. This is
no time" he thinks. "to press for an
undue advantage"
The vice-presidents' views are con-
tanned in a '"message to American
business" which will be published
tomorrow in Current Affairs, the
weekly publication of the Boston
Chamber of Commerce. With the Gull
tivation of a friendly relation be-
tween the elements of labor and cap
ital engaged in production, he pre-
diets the beginning of an ew era of
prosperity for the nation.
1.-THE present administration" he
said, stands pledged to use it's ut
most endeavors for the development
of American business, foreign and do
nestle. 1t has already begun work
upon these problems and is formulat-
ing a definite program of develop
ment. In this, the national finances
will play very important part, re-
curing the reframing of our revenue
laws which affect internal taxation
and import duties.
With the settlement Of our inter.
national relations and the defining OF
the German indemnity, we ought to
reach as tabilized condition, which
should result in a large business ex-
pansion. President Harding has chos-
en- for his advisers men not only in
timately, but sympathetically in
touch with American business in all
it's different avenues. There also is a
gress to give more and more atten-
ton to the development of business,
not only for the purpose of increas-
ing the general welfare but as the on
ly means of the relief of unemploy-
ment and the increase of prosperity
"It would be futile to unde~-asti-
mate the difficult problems which
must be faced and solved, arising out
of the general exhaustion which has
come to the world as the result of the
war. The advice of expert business
men will be needed for their solutions
through the cooperation and co-or-
dination of all the elements of power
throughout the nation.
"It is very necessary, under pres
ent conditions, that American BUSH
ness enterprises should deal with
their employees in a way to commend
itself to their sense of justice and at
the same time keep in their mind the
necessities of consumers. Failure in
either respect will embarass industry
and those who are attempting to- re-
vive business, and greatly delay their
program. This is no time to press
for an undue advantage. 1t is time
to cultivate friendly relations be-
tween all the different elements of
production, whethr represented by in
vestment or by labor. Putting the
nation in that state of mind will be
the beginning of new era of pros
perity."

Tarnowitz, Upper Silesa. March 20.
-(By the Associated Press).--A
preparations had been completed
when the polls opened for the plebis-
cite today throughout Upper Silesia
to determine whether the region. rich
in coal, iron, zinc and lead, and COM
prising approximately 5000 square
miles, henceforth shall be under the
sovereignty of Germany or Poland.
From distant parts of the world Ger
mans and Poles, former residents of
Silesia and entitled to cast their bal
lots, had journeyed in the hope of aid
ing their respective countries to win
the region.
The plebiscite, it is estimated in
volved the pilgrimage of 100000 Ger
mans. Special trains were furnished
at the expense of the Germans. and
toward the end no tickets were sold eX
cept to men and women returning to
vote and the trains were so crowded
that many of the passengers were
obliged to stand. Among the last con-
tingentS arriving from the foreign
countries were 40 from South Africa,
which completed the representation of
nearly every country except the En-
tente.
The final results of the balloting
were expected to be delayed some
what owing to the order of the inter-
allied p1ebiscite commission suspend
ing telephone and Geographic COM
munication with the outside world
with the exception of press dispatches
which, however, were subjected to the
approval of the Silesian authorities.
