ment-tmough the War Finance

Stress was laid by the bankers ON
the fact that their discussion had
centered sOn details under which ad-
vances would be made to exporters
for future delivery of cotton. Another
angle was relief for the banks OF the
South and of the spot markets for
cotton luaper, which has accumulated
during the period of depression. A
third point was the discussion of
plans under which European coun-
tries wan1d be able to buy in this
market more cotton than they are
able to pay cash for at this time,
leading to the establishment OF
credits for cotton.

Presented to Wholesale Gro
GERS by the Vice President of
Pennsylvania Railroad Who
Says the Shipper Must Suf-

Cincinnati, May 1.-THE financial
plight of the railroads and its react
ion on the shipper were described to-
day to the convention of the Southern
Wholesale Grocers Association by
Benjamine McKeen of st. Louis, vice
president of the Pennsylvania rail-
road.
In 1920, he said, out of every dol
lar the railroad received only one
cent remained after paying operating
expenses and taxes while in 1917
1913 cent remained out of each dollar
to pay taxes.
''The total purchase on the Penn
sylvania system exclusive of equip
ment in 1918 aggregated so million
dollars while in 1920 the coal pur-
chase alone totaled 73 million dol
lars" Mr.. McKeen said, 1.-The trouble
is that the operating costs of run
ming railroads are entirely out of line
with existing economic conditions"

The dogs should not be allowed ON

SEES NO CUT IN
COST OF LIVING
Gompers Urges That Labor
Not Be Pushed, Not Time
For a. Reduction.

Cincinnati, Ohio, May lot
BODIES no good for the enemies of
rational labor at this critical junct-
ure to drive the bargain too hard, :"
said Samuel GoGnpers in an interview
here today with a Cincinnati Post re-
porter. The head of the American
Federation of Labor remarked that
he had seen Industrial depressions
and had seen the pendulum swing
both ways. Then he continued:
Every reduction OF wages is a re-
duction in the CONSUMING power of
at the future prosperity and well be-
ing of the country. Organized labor
lis not only insisting upon maintain
ing the present standards of wages
and working conditions. but proposes
to continue it's struggle to further
improve those standards"
''It is astounding but true, that,
even after ending of the war, there
is, so far as the average family is
concerned, practically no reduction
in the high cost of living. I will ad-
NIT that in some commodities there
has been reduction of price in the
Wholesale markets, but there has
been no commensurate reduction in
retail prices.
Labor time after time has indi-
Gated the commercial interests of. the
country for wanton profiteering. The
Government continues to be impot-
ent.,'

These figures do not include for

600; oil mill products, $4,000 and
cotton in storage, $4,000. At
prices ruling in April, 1920, he says

100000 instead of the $485,O00 en-
tire loss for that month
The principal tobacco fires were
at Wilson, 1926, 900; Rocky Mount,
100000 and Henderson, garage
and tobacco $4,000.
