"HAMlNER OF THE LORD"
DEFIES HER LANDLORD

! NEW YORk-The Hammer of the
Lord sits rocking screneIy in her Of
| fee on the fifteenth floor of the AGO.
| liam building. With complete calm
ness and confidence she receives the
good wishes of other tenants, de-
parting for the day, who drop in to
| felicitate her upon her resolution to
pay no more than 500 a month for
the two rooms where she conducts
her stenography business. With the
same untrOubled gaze she cOntem-
plates the future, for she had warn
ed the renting agent that the terrible
and searching finger Of God was
pointing at him and she had a Bible
on her lap.
The Hammer of the Lord was
known before her divine inspiration
to drive home truths to renting
agents, and still is known to the
worldly public which has her to do
its tipping, as Mrs. Leila M. Tinsley.
She is a brisk pleasant, pretty lit
gray hair and no hint anywhere
about her of that divine weapon
which she procIaims herself to be.
Under a lease which has expired.
she occupied her office at a rental or
500 a month In the new lease,
which was sent to her, the rent was
fixed at $167 a month. Ever since
has been hammering home texts and
warnings and notifying her neigh
bOrs of her determination to pay $500
q month and no more. She sent q
check for 500 to the agent, who is
X. l.. Jeffrey, reader in the Christian
Science church, in White Plains. The
Hammer Of the Lord is d Sweden
borglan.
81 believe that the Lord is using
me as a hammer" said Mrs. Tinsley,
marking her place in her Bible with
her finger, "and that He will drive
and drive until He has driven every
company to see that the Golden Rule
is the rule for business -. 60
The Hammer of the Lord said that
it wasn't a question of money with
her. There were several buildings,
she said, naming them, where she
could get fully as good quarters for
500 q month, but she determined to
respond to the heavenly summons
and stay where she was.
"They asked me how much money
would take to vacate," she said,
''and suggested $4,000. That was
no temptation to me. If the tenants
of business offices don't Fight for
their rights they will continue to
have the same troubles that apart
ment jewellers had before they start
ed to defend their rights.
81 wrote ninety-nine-page book
to the agents. They could not an
swer it. Also L have issued about
forty bulletins"
Among the bulletins is the warn
ing to the Christian Science reader
about the finger of God.
The finger of Cod she wrote
him, lis pointing to you. 1t is ter
rible; it is searching. There is not
thought it does not point TO you;
you cannot hide from it. And in
those days to come when you will
be relieved of your services as rent
ing agent to step into another realm,
you will find before you your per
sonal book of life"
The superintendent of the build
ing is willing to admit that the posi-
tion of the Hammer of the Lord is a
strong one.

woman like that"' he demanded.

PITTSBURG, May 10.-Resumption
of shipments to lake ports has had
Il substantial effect on coal mine
operations in this district and some
of the larger companies are operat-
ing at capacity. A downward re-
vision in freight rates, affecting the
movement between this district and
the lakes, went into effect last week
and it is believed that there will be
a steady flow of coal to the lakes
until the season closes. With stocks
low and freight cars plentiful, it
is expected that the lake trade de-
mand will be unusually large this
year.
The editor of the Coal Trade Bull
letin estimates Pennsylvania hi
luminous coal production in 1920 al
166,853,561 tons, new maximum
In 1919, 1873, 50o,800 tons were pro
duced. All authorities agree that
never before did coal producers en-
JOY such large profits. These prof,
it's have strengthened the companies
and placed them in a position where
they feel it is not necessary to sac
rifice their product
Improvement in steel production is
noted in various sections. The
change in the direction of enlarged
production is perceptible, and it is
believed that the recent price re
visions and the general reduction ir
wages in the steel industry viii
largely increase demand, as these
steps were considered necessary tC
stabilize the market. One after an
other steps have been taken to read
just the steel industry to meet new
conditions, and each stimulates con
fidenCG in the market. Manufacture
ers, however, are not anticipating
pronounced Improvement until au

The chamber of commerce has for

will have expired by June 1. The

a continuance of current scales. The
building of dwellings, under the

EDGAR WATKINS IS
SPEAKER At MEET

CINCINNATI, May 10.~-A notable
address by Edgar Watkins. Atlanta
lawyer, was delivered Tuesday at the
convention of the Southern Whole
sale Grocers' association, here-ar
association with Il membership
throughout the United States and ma
tional in scope, though southern in
name.
Mr.. Watkins, general counsel for
the association, took the occasion OF
its annual meeting to discuss price
regulation, contracts. freight rates
the federal trade commission and
other matters of particular and gen
eral interest to the delegates, be-
ginning with a high tribute to j
Fl. McLaurin, president of the as
ISOLATION. ,.
An important phase Of Mr.. Wat
llins' address was Il sharp rap at
the disposition by state and federal
governments TO seek to. remedy sup
posed ills by statutes. He quoted
julius Barnes: My Government has
no place in private business except
to protect the individual against nm
position" and Herbert HooVer-9
statement made before entering the
Cabinet-"It is far better that these
problems be solved by the processes
of business and the individual inltia-
tive of men than that they be at
tempted by our government"
These and other authorities We're
adduced i'll the contention Jhat the
belief that economic laws could be
repealed by statutes was an "hallucl-
nation" This term was used with
reference to the efforts to fix prices
of necessities by the congressional
food control act.
This statute was invalid" said
Nr.iWatkiuS. 'although a subsequent
decision of the supreme court hold
ing cons titutional the regulation of
rents shows that a valid law could
he passed. The food con-
troll act was known as a makeshift."
As to contracts, Mr.. Watkins urged
the seller to ask only fair contracts.
and the buyer to sign none but just
agreementsP
The seller Frequently i'm the past
took advantage OF the fact that it
was a sellers market Now that
it is buyers market the buyer
should not follow a bad example,
but should now and then, when the
situation changes, demand and give
only a fair contract
With reference TO proceedings. be-
fore the interstate commerce COM
mission in regard to freight rates,
Mr. Watkins took the position that,
while freight rates were too high,
this is not an opportune time to
complain before the commission"
The situation in general" he
said, lis such that substantial re-
lief can come only from radical
changes in the transportation act of
1920. The hampering provisions for
disguised guarantee OF income
should be repealed, and the enormous
increases in. opera ting expenses,
caused chiefly by and resulting from
federal control, should be greatly re-
duced.";
The work of the federal trade
commission, Mr.. Watkins said, was
not all that had been expected of it.
still, it has done much good. As
sisted by wholesale grocers it made
a report which resulted in the decree
properly limiting the business of the
five. big packers, and made other
reports that have been a help to
business" -.

BUYERS LITERALLY
OVERRUN GOTHAM
BY JAMES ALLERTON
tLeased Wire Service to The JournaI.)
downright 1901

NEW YORK, May 10.-New York
is literally overrun with out-of-town
buyers. To an extent never before
approached, merchants are doing
their own purchasing, and doing it at
the primary market. Orders sent in
front the road by statesmen have fall
en- to a point out of all proportion
with the volume of trade actually
being done. For the second time the
Knit Goods association has post
pOned it's fall opening in an effort to
fix 1T at time when the largest pos
Sible number of buyers would be in
town. More than this, the buyers are
shopping round" just as their GUS
toners have been doing to an un-
precedented degree these last months.
Unusual efforts are being made by
wholesalers and jobbers to put for
ward bargains that will appeal to
their visitors. The situation altogeth-
er is one of the most extraordinary
that has yet arisen to mark the pc
riOd of reimbursement.
In the meantime the New York re-
taller IS hnding quite as much rea-
son as before to offer real values if
he hopes to get his necessary share of
trade. Although some merchants
still are lOath to concede the fact,
the volume of trade is going to those
stores and to those departments of
attractive. Those who are keeping
their eyes shut to this condition are
using extreme measures to maintain
hheir margins. Sharp reductions are
being made in personnel, deliveries
are being held to the closest limits
possible and every available excess
in overhead is being trimmed. Yet
shreWd observers are more firmly of
the opinion than ever that the trick
cannot be turned in any such way as
this.
The report just made by the de-
Tense council of the National Assoc
citation of Credit Men as a result of
ITS spring survey strongly supports
THIS opinion. The report lays en-
phasis on the fact that savings, which
had steadily increased until recently,
are now being drawn upon, and that
on the whole there has been little
sign of the new life in industry and
distribution predicted in the winter"
rms is, however, not true of all
sections of the metropolitan district.
The Manufacturers Association of
New Jersey finds the prospect reas-
surfing. General conditions" it says,
show improvement so that capital is
being encouraged to invest. People
are being encouraged to purchase as
they observe the price of commodi-
ties dropping. They now feel that
they see their way clear to go ahead
Adjustment of wages will tend to
restore confidence and business will
advance. The manufacturers feel
that the nation is on the verge of one
OF the most prosperous periods it has
ever seen, calculating from a normal
STANDPOINT. In six months the cOun-
try Will be back close to normalcy"
