INDUSTRIAL CONDITIONS

The present industrial condition Of
the country is the most critical H..
the alst forty years. David r. For
gan. president of the National City
Bank of Chicago, declared recently
in a speech before the current events
class of the First Congrega tional
chuch in Evanston, III.
The past three months have been
filld with reports which show that
the present economic conditions OF
the country are extremely grave"
said Mr.. Forgan. This is due to
the aftermath of the war and the
fact that Europe, which in other
times Of financial depression has been
help. is now veritable milestone
about our necks. Only the opera
tion of the federal reserve system
has prevented 1lnacial panic"
Mr.. organ urged that the debts of
European nations to the United
States should not be cancelled. He
said that nations fndebte dto the
United States should issue fifty year
bonds, start sinking fund for the
payment of the debt and at the time
OF the expiration OF the fifty-year
period they all would be able to
clear their Indebtedness.
Mr.. Forgan declared that reports
that Wall Street influence had been
used to affect bank failure in North
Dakota were untrue.

''CONINlITTEE OF ~" SPEARS

A national sales agency to sell
grain abroad and IN this country to
the best advantage of the growers.
ad as directly as possible to the ex-
porters and millers. is the hub cf
the plan recommended by the facm-
ers grain marketing Committee of
seventeen named by the American
tarm bureau federation. The meth
od by which the grain reaches the
central selling agency IS optional
with the grain growers, with the ex-
ception that the Committee of Sew
enteen makes it clear all through its
preliminary report that the existing
channels Of cooperative grain mar
keting, in their Judgment, should be
used to the fullest possible extent.
The northwestern wheat growers
who have been awaiting the action
or this committee with considerable
interest, will find nothing in the
plan to operate against the method
or wheat marketing which they have
selected-the wheat pool guaranteed
ny commodity contract covering a
period of years. The Committee Of
seventeen makes it clear that wheat
growers associations, whether basel
ON the contract systm or not, can
operate as they wish through the
national selling agency which it has
IN mind to foster. 1t will he dis
tinctly to the advantage OF the
wheat growers il all local wheat,
marketing associations can arrange
TO sell through one national agency,
since one object of the marketiy
movement that is now sweeping the
country is to eliminate competition
between farmers and farm organizu-
sions in the sale of their products.
The gist of the report of the com
mittee Is found in the following par
agraph:
Realizing the benefits to be de-
rived by selling grain in large quau-
lies. our plan PROVIDES for contracts
to be signed by the grower running
to his local elevator company or di-
rect to a national association whe.e
no local elevator exists. Also a corr
tract to run from each local elevator
direct to the national sales agency.
These contracts are for the purpose
OF bargaining comparatively for the
sale OF large quantities Of grain di-
rect to millers and exporters at the
least possible COST"
When there added to this the
proviso that eliminates the contract
binding the local grower to a local
elevator. and permits insted a con-
tract requiring the delivery Of wheat
to the state wheat marketing agency
which in turn can dispose of its pro-
duct through the national selling
agency which the Committee of Sev-
enteen recommends, there is outlin- !
takes care of the wheat growers as
soctattons such as are now being |
formed In Montana and other wes--
ern states.-M0ntana Farmer.

RAILWAY EXECUTIVES
ARE LOATH TO COMMENT
Labor Board Cut Inadequate,
Says LoUeft.

The disappointment OF railway execu-
lives In the Labor Boards decision by
which railroad wages will be reduced
on an average of IL per cent on July J.,
calculated by the board to cut the annual
payroll OF the country's carriers by
S4O0. 900, 600. was indicated yesterday by
the expressed opinion of some OFFICIALS
and more generally by disinciinatioA.
to talk for publication
The view of many railroad executives
is known to be in line with the laconic
statement of Judge Robert 5. Lovett,
chairman of the board of directors or
the Union Pacific system: 1T does not
meet the necessities of the situation"
ut is very gratifying to know mat
the Federal Labor Board" salo JULIUS
Kruttschmitt, chairman OF the southern
Pacific. ain ordering reduction Oh
wages that were fixed in abnormal coz
ditions recognizes its duty TO restore 10
some extent their relation to present
conditions. 1t is impossible TO say what
effect, in money, this decision VIII nave
on Southern Pacific lines. To do this
would require laborious computations 70
apply the new rates to the existing
forces. II can be said in general terms.
however, that the effect on operating
expenses will be substantial
Other executives recalled that when
the Labor Board announced the railway
wage increases of last summer averag-
ing about 25 per cent, 1t was calculated
the addition to the annual payroll or the
country's transportation system would
aggregate 5000. 100000. whereas In &C
tual effect in the last eight months OF
1920 the increase amounted to more
than SS0O.0O0.OO.

Special Despatch to THE NEW York HERALD.
New York Herald Bureau,
Washington, ID. c., June ].
General downward revision or re-
adjustment of freight rates on all OF the
railroads of the country is to follow close
on the railroad labor decision making
a IL per cent reduction in wages.
President Harding took up the matter
to-day with members OF the interstate
Commerce Commission In an iniormai
and unexpected conference. He lett the
White House this morning and walked 10
the commission building. He went unan-
no,nced TO the office of Chairman clark
and other members Of the commission
were summoned to meet him. Inc
President went into every phase OF the
rate situation and asked what steps mao
heen taken to relieve the inequities re-
sultine from percentage rate increases
and what was being done to prlng gen
eral reductions which were regarded as
essential. 49, A..
Chairman Clark assured him that inc
commission was moving iE this olrec-
49, ,nd had made much progress,
thoneh the matters affected were OF
auch a nature that nothing could DC
made pubic until they were ended.
After the conference 1t was MADE
known at the White House that the
President had called because he recog-
nized that the commission Is the rate
making agency OF Congress, ana that
inasnnuch as he had the right 10 COM
municate with Congress he wanted 10
communicate directly, though informally
with this agency.
Rate reductions are to be orought
about as the result of initiation or rates
nv carriers. The commission has peeh
in conference with various OF the rali-
road executives discussing the reduc-
tons which should be made
Samuel Rea. president of the Penn
sylvania lines, appeared again before
the Senate Interstate Commerce Com
mittee and in summing up his rehaplh-
tation plans said:
my first suggestion is the release or
amounts due to the railroads for Fed
eral control, but now held by the Rail-
road Administration as offsets to capi-
tai expenditures made during Federal
control. To fund all of these capital ex-
penditures would, I estimate, release
and pay several hundreds OF millions OF
current cash. due by the Government.

TULSA RIOT DESCRIBED
AS 'ONE OF THE WORST

A statement issued yesterday by
James Weldon Johnson. secretary of the
National Association for the Advance
ment of Colored People, 20 Fifth ave-
Tue. described the Tulsa race riots, on
the face of reports, as "one OF the worst
that has occurred In the United States
in recent years." In East st. Louis In
1917 several hundred persons were
killed; in the Chicago riot of 1919
thirty-eight were killed and about 100
injured, and in Phillips county. Arkan-
sas in 1919 five white persons and
twenty-five negros were killed in race
riot
White people," said the statement.
"often attempt to conceal the number
OF white casualties from fear Of the ef-
feet upon colored people. The first re-
port from Tulsa indicates a terrible use
of the modern instruments OF war, air
planes. automobiles and guns used by
white Americans upon their colored
neighbors."

ENGRAvERs VOTE FOR STRIKE.
Back Committee Tint Ordered
waIkout in Newspapers.

The strike ordered at midnight Tues
day by the photo-engravers' union
against all newspaper plants In the city
was in full effect yesterday. 1t affected
225 men, but does not halt the work in
commercial plants. where about 1,70o
union photographers are employed.
The call for the strike was coincident
with the expiration of the yearly agree
ment between the union and the news
paper publishers. The engravers de-
mand IS a week more wages. which the
publishers decline to concede, but are
willing to submit to arbitration. The
union voted yesterday to ratify the ac-
ton OF its committee in holding that
the time for arbitration had passed.

MARINE STRIKE CHIEFS
STAY IN WASHINGTON

The strike committee of the marine
engineers remained In Washington yes
terday, where Secretary of Labor Davis
is still trying to frame an agreement
acceptable to both strikers and the
Shipping Board. 1t is understood there
will be another meeting in Washington
to-day.
Union leaders in New York saw no
hope of settlement as Admiral Benson
has refused to promise that all strikeEs
will get their jobs back. They said thai
from now on the movement Of American
steamships would be made more diff
cult, especially along the Atlantic
coast, where the strike has not been as
effective as along the Pacific. On
Tuesday twelve steamships left the
port of New York, an unusually large
number. Four left yesterday.
