Authentic Statement by Roger W. Bahson Special 10 New Britain Herald
 Discussing Fundamental conditions of our leading industries Roger w. Babson makes the following state ment, During the coming year foresee a further improvement in the fortunes of the copper industry It Is thoroughly lquidated, having suffered a prolonged depression and is still operating at very low percentage of capacity Only three or four of the important copper producers are now paying dividends. Heavy stocks, poor demand and very low price are joint ly responsible for these conditions. Constructive forces are at work, how ever, which will bring about sub- stantal improvement.
 "The present demand which is cX- ceeding the rate of production by ap- proximately 50,o0o,oo0 pound a month should absorb the greater part Of our present excess stock of refined copper. estimated in the neighborhood of $50, 000, 900 pounds during the course of the next months, This accomplish ed, the copper industry will be in a position to resume a semblance normal production in August 1922.
 Normally the copper industries of this country produce 50 per cent of the worlds total output of refined copper. Before the war half of this home production was exported to England, Germany, France, Holland, and Italy as our principal customers. Of late years Japan has been taking considerable quantities, Although Eur ope continues to need our cupper the adverse exchange rates and general shortage of purchasing power make it practically impossible for them to buy. Because of these factors the total exports of copper in 1920 to all countries amounted to but 70 per cent of the poundage shipped during 1913. Exports this year to date are running about 10 per cent under last years.

MINISTRIES DRAW
 CAPACITY HOUSE
Show Presented by R. & E,
 Worthy Of Professionals

One of the best amateur minstrel shows seen in this city for a long time was presented at the Y. w.. c. A. last evening by a troupe from the Russwin and Erwin Manufacturing company The hall was filled beyond seating ca pacity and many were forced to stand in the rear and on the sides as well as in the balcony. The people in at tendance appeared to "eat up" the songs and jokes of the troupe, while each number received it's full share of applause. In most all of the cases it was necessary for the actors to re- spond to an encore.
 The honors of the show, however, if applause is to be taken as a cri- teriton, fell to Louis Raskowski in his clever interpretation of clog dancing, and to Mir. Egan who gave a comic monologue, which was really funny and equal 10 many on the professional stage.
 The song numbers were all we'll re-

ceived. Following the opening chorus, My Tennessee" was rendered by Francis O'Meara. This was fol- lowed by a solo number entitled Sweet Miss Mary" song by Miss Sul- liyan. The Misses Hausrath and Burnstead could have responded to an encore in their duet rendition of Right or Wrong" "A dance was then introduced into the program by Miss Dube. Miss Water, Miss Schnell Mrs. Cherpack, Miss Earnest favored with solos, all of which were well ren- dered.
 A quartet number called "Tucky Home" was sung by four men of the chorus and received it's share of ap- plause, as did a trio singing "Down the Trail" A specially number in troduced by Mr. kobbs and two chil- dren was a bit long, but the three were called to respond to a second encore. Other numbers on the bill which went across in first class style are All By Myself' by Mir. Johnson; Barefoot Trail", Miss McAloon; "Dapper Dan," Dick Hyland. A spec ialty number introduced by Mir. Will winson at the end of the show was a decided hit.
 Miss Esther Seaburgh was at the piano for the majority of the num- bers and was aided by O'Brien's or chestra. The end men were Messrs, Wilky, Hyland, Donlon, Johnson, O'Meara and l.. Rasllowski. In the chorus were Misses Fife Krum, Mar garet Heisler, Mildred Coney, Annie Dymkosl1i, Lillian Larson, Esther Rehm, Annette Johnson, Ethel Hodge,

FAMOUS TONIC SHOWN

contracted rheumatism last winter

severe at times I could hardly
stand them. At night I'd usually be-
come so nervous and restless /
couldn't sleep.
well, sir, Il want to tell my
friends and Rock Island and Mo-

to be most powerful medicine. Re
gardless Of the fact that others had
failed to help me, Trutona quickly
knocked that soreness out of my
arms, regulated my bowels, gave me
the appetite of a growing boy and
has Quilted my nerves SO that I
simply sleep like log at night now.
In short I'm about 100 per cent

IRISH HOPES

GOOD writing and good temper continue
~ to be characteristic of the momentous
diplomatic interchanges upon the status of
Ireland. Eamon de valera's latest reply to
David Lloyd George Is not only eminently
readable and dcftly phrased, but It is com.
paratively free from the note OF irrecon-
cilable vexation fatal to further negotia-
tions.
1t is plain that both the British Govern
ment and Dali Lircann are equally eager for
n settlement What separates them now is
a division about methods Of approach.
II is the contention Of Mr.. de Valera that
Ireland can accept nothing less than an
invitation ito enter into free and willing
partnership with the free nations OF the
British Commonwealth" and that by the
existing offer the island is reduced to "a
status definitely inferior to that of these free
States"
Here is an unmistakabe intimation thpt
Ireland would welcome the dominion form
of government were she permitted the op-
portunity of choice, unshadowcd by threats
of force
THE respective plcnipotentiaries. con-
tinues Mr.. dc Valera, must be untrammeed
BY any conditions. save the facts them
selves" Mr.. Lloyd George would probably
be disposed to agree with him we're 1t not
that n basis Of dispute lies indeed In the
Interpretation of facts from conflicting view
points.
Nevertheless neither party has as yet
closed the door to negotiations. To do SO
now would be equivalent to the surrender OF
hopes in which the entire world is pro-
foundly and sincerely interested.

ARBITRATION ON TRIAL

TINE Pennsylvania Railroad Company,
l. notwithstanding the objections of the
Railroad Labor Board. has been perfecting
its plan for settling disputes with Its cm-
ployes.
The company has had a Joint Reviewing
Committee since January to deal with the
relations of the train and engine men with
the road. 1t has now completed the forma-
tion of five more reviewing committees, one
for each distinct group Of employees.
For the employees on maintenance of way
and structures. for example. there is a COM
mittee of sixteen composed of eight repre-
scntatives of the employees and eight repre-
scntatives Of the employers. In reaching
decisions the vote of an employe on the
committee has as much weight as the vote
of an employer: and no decision is binding
unless it Is reached by the vote OF two
thirds of the members Of the committee.
The Signal Department Committee is the
same size as the Maintenance of Way Com
mittCc but there are only fourteen mem
bcrs on the Shop Craft Committee. The re-
Quirement of n two-thirds vote applies to
them all.
The new arrangement affects 100000 en-
plOyes. Whether it works will depend on
the good faith of the two parties to 1t.
Some of the employees are not satisfied
with the manner in which the members of
the committees were selected. The public
is not particularly interested in their griev-
ance.
1t is interested. however. in the success
of what seems to be serious attempt to
keen the relations between employees and
employers amiCable by friendly negotiation.

AN AMERICAN PARADE

1.-THE managers of the Labor Day parade
yesterday wisely rcfraned from any at
tempt to make it a demonstration of the
extent to which workingmen and women are
Unemployed
There were $1,000 persons in line. 1t
was estimated that no more than II per
cent of the marchcrs were out of work.
This is probably about the extent of un-
employment in this city.
H Neither was any attempt made to engage
in propaganda. No banners were carried
;proclaiming either the supremacy of labor
jor its rights. The American flag took the
place of banners. There were large flags
ienrricd by color bearers and every marcher
had small flag in his or her hand
This is the kind of a demonstration of
.Americanism which is cheering to sec. The
managers of it deserve the congratulations
Iof all for their determination to make the
observance OF the day just an exhibition Of
the sound patriotism of organized labor
patriotism of which there has never been
any doubt.

GERMANY AND THE LEAGUE

A LTHOUGH Hungary is the only new
n applicant for admission in the League
Of Nations at it's present session in Geneva,
it is considered possible that the question
of Germany may soon come before the
assembly.
Several member nations are said to regard
her entrance into the society as desirable.
Even France could not consistently object
were it made plain that the admission OF
her former foe would in no way affect the
integrity of the Treaty of Versailles, which
is. of course, the case.
So fnr as the prestige of the League is
concerned, few decisions could more enhance
it than one authorizing the entrance of Ger
many as a partner nation. Since its Gre
alton the association has been charged with
one. sdedness and its most furious opponents
have been eager to denounce it as merely
top heavy alliance under a spuriously be-
nCvOlent title.
The admission Of Germany would ef-
fcctually demolish such an accusation. To
Justify itself the League must not be fearful
of its professed ideals.
Friends Of the League in the nted
States-and despite all declaration TO the
contrary they are numerous-would rejoice
70 find the international association true to
its originally announced high purposes.

FOOL QUESTIONS

ONCE more it has been demonstrated
~ that 1t is easy to write list of ques-
srtions all of which nobody can answer. The
INSTITUTE of Public Service sent out such
list to colleges and high schools some
time ago, and it has just announced that
~ 800 students averaged only forty four
correct answers out of hundred. The
questions were framed to test the knOwl-
edge of contemporary history
II the questions had been submitted to

that they would have averaged 25 per cent
