BABS0N SEES FALL
 OF GERMAN MARKS
Business Prophet Gives Lesson
 From Foreign Situation

(By Roger W. Babson, special to New Britain Herald.)
 "A friend of mine has recently been in Germany. While there he won some money in a poker game. When he wet to cash Ahis chips he was told to wait minute. He waited two hours and got his roll of mark notes and all of them were wet from the printing press. That is the way German marks are being turned out today. Germany is full of marks; but they are only made of paper. So long as the Ger mans can sell Americans paper at such fancy price a pound, they will con- tinue to print marks.
 The value of paper money depends on two things; the gold reserve to re- deem 1t, and the credit of the govern ment behind it. There are millions of marks afloat in Germany which can never be redeemed in coin. In fact it is joke to think of that as a pos sibility As for credit, the German government is not on it's feet yet and no one. has very much confidence in 1t.
 ''The. international bankers are ex- tending credit to German business firms, in spite of the German govern ment, because they have confidence in the fndustriousness of the German people These qualities are entirely independent of the number of marks turned out in Berlin, German Business

INGRAM KEEPS OUT
 OF LIMELIGHr NOW
Lets Jennings and Doyle Do Coaching
 -Huggihs, However, is Very Active

New York, Oct S.-The Giants in world series without Manager Me- Graw on the coaching lines. To the old followers of the game that may seem incredible, but it's true in this years championship battle. ..-e.
 The fact that Manager McGraw does not appear on the side lines to encour- age his boys on to victory, however, isn't any indication that he is absent from the games ,.
 He is there, however, occupying his secluded seat in the Giants dugout. Literally the thousands of fans who came to New York hoped to see him standing in the third base coaching line box as was his habit for years.
 But following his more recent cus- tom the veteran chief remains on the bench dressed in 'civvies.' He leaves his active coaching to his assistant, Hughey Jennings and Coach Dolan.
 Manager Miller Huggins of the Tanks on the other hand does it the old McGraw way. He is always to be seen in Yank uniform out on the side lines, usually back of first base.

men and German wOrkmen can and will produce. English and American bankers know it, and for that reason they will continue to arrange credits for German firms in spite of the fact that the mark is still falling.
 Now that the mark has Init the bot<>:n and gone thru" the Germans are rtshing the stock market and buy ing stock like crazy men That counr tr.. is .n a fevor of spccufa ton. We saw that kind of fever here two years ago. Stocks hit the top of the ther- mometer, but they came down again and lot of people got hurt.
 At the present time in Germany nobody trusts the mark. Accordingly everyone wants to turn marks into securities. Farm hands and servant girls are buying stocks. People will take anything if only they can get securities in exchange for marks Sooner or later the tide of speculation will turn. Stock prices will tumble and number of Germans will be won dering whether they are better of with the worthless stock certificates than they were with their paper marks.
 "Germany's position today is per feet testimony to the fact that all if nancial dealings are finally determined by the fundamental laws of right and wrong. German business is getting credit from bankers in former enemy nations because the German people are industrious and dependable. The German mark has dropped out of sight because the government put out a lot of worthless paper money which peo- pie are now unloading wholesale ir exchange for stock. This is why the mark which was worth almost ar American quarter, seven years ago, is now worth less than cent.
 Both the German government ano the spectators have been busily en. gagged in an effort to get something | for nothing. That attempt, however has never succeeded and never will S-mething for nothing does not exist What we get we pay for some way o1 another The common people in Ger many know it, and the New Yorl banks realize that they know it. Thi is Germany's salvation. When thu leaders of Germany also learn this they will reorganize. In the mean l time. look for financial fireworks With the German government follow | ing it's present practice, the future o the mark depends upon the marke
 price for waste paper.

In the absence. of this the backing and filing prices witnessed this week will doubtless continue.

Packing Company ESnployes Think
 Time Is Unpropitious For Strike.

Omaha, Oct. s.-Decision ooppose a strike referendum scheduled for to- day by packing house workers throughout the country haa been reached by seventy employe represen- tativeS of plant conference boards of Armour and Co., Swift and Co.,, and the Cudahy Pkg Co.,, according to g state ment today by H. R. Hartnett, repre- sentative of employen on the plant board of the Cudahy Co.
 One of the reasons for opposition to the vote is the contention that the pres ent time is unpropitious for a strike in the packing industry, according to Hartnett.
 At headquarters of the amalgamated meat cutters and butchers workmens' union of North America, it was stated that there was no doubt but the ref erendum would be held.

Twirlers Who Opened Big Series Are Likely Choices of Respective Manag CTS For Today.

New York, Oct. S-The pitching situ- ation in the worlds series seems to have returned to a status quo, and the indications last night were that Carl Mays and Phil Douglas, the twirlers in the opening game, would be the oppos- ing pitchers in the fourth contest this afternoon. McGraw has exhausted his Big Four-Douglas, Barnes, Nehf and Toney-and must either go back to Douglas or take a chance with Sallee, Ryan, Shea or Causey, which seems un- likely. Huggins available selection comprises only Harper and Mays, and the former seems too uncertain for such important work. Frank Snyder's sen sational batting yesterday probably will win him the place behind the oat over Earl Smith, and Schang is slated to re- ceive for the Yankees.

COMMISSION HOPES ID GET AGREEMENT
 ON RAW MATERIALS

Montgomery, July 2O.-(Special.)- D. B H. Cooper and s. P. Gaillard, as- sociate members of the public service commission, returned Wednesday from Washington. where they held conferences with representatives of the furnaces of the Birmingham dis trict and representatives of the Louisville and Nashville and Southern railroads. and expressed the hope that an agreement will be made on rates for raw materials consigned to furnaces in the Birmingham dis trict.
 The commission now has under ad- visement the petition of the fur naces for an order requiring the rail- roads to make substantial reductions in the rates on raw materials, such as coal, iron and ore and limestone and for separations for charges made by the railroads since the famous general order number 2S of the di- rector general of railroads was ap- plicable while the railroads were in the hands of the owners. It sugges- ted that the furnaces representatives and the railroads reach an agree ment for an amicable adjustment of the dispute.
 Conferences were held with l., Green of the Southern and L. Smith of the Louisville and Nash vile and the promise was made that some report would be made to the commission not later than August l.

SURCHARGE IS NOT

Montgomery, July 2O.-(Special)- Disapproval of the 50 per cent sur charge on interstate travel In Pull man cars in Alabama was ordered by the public service commission Wednesday afternoon following the filing of the new rate under authori- ty of the public service commission. This will not prevent the imposition of the charge by the railroads, but will retain any rights the public service commission may have in con testing the case in the courts.
 The procedure of the commission has not been determined since the interstate commerce commission or- ders the railroads to ignore the or der of the state commission and to charge the additional fee. However, B. H. Cooper and S. P. Gaillard, as- sociate ommissioners held con- ference at Washington early in the week with the attorney for the state railroad commissions of the United States and he will make a recommen- dation as to future action, As ca s
