Comptroller Crissinger Tells Bank

Customers RebeIlions
This condition, the comptroller
declared, was the underlying cause
of industrial and business paralysis,
and has gotten prices to the point
where there is no relation between
value and selling price. Consumers
know this he asserted and are de-
termined to buy no more than is
absolutely necessary in a market
thus unconscionably fixed"
Vital reimbursement of wages must
come, he asserted, before there can
be permanent reconstruction and in
dustrial readjustment.
But how can we, -. Il nation or
businessmen, Mr.. Crissinger -conttn
ued. expect wage earners to agree to
this while the middleman not only
passes on his losses to. the consumers
but exacts reasonable profit on re
placements?"
Conscience Needed
Economic evolution will be fail
ure, ne declared, unless ali the peo-
pie but their conscience into then
business and work. Out OF. the re
construction, he added, must come
new business ethics in which a big
fact will be service to the people.

Comptroller said. in this. &eeQnQmts

REGULAR MEETING

Given April Fifth

The regular New Century Club
meeting scheduled for yesterday

day Mrs. R. w. Helm will read a

She was a few years ago a mem
ber of the faculty of the Leland
T. Powers School. During the
war she served at Newport, Rhode
Island, planning and giving en-
tertainments for service mem.

Moore of $45 and His Watch

While Charles Moore, a young
man about 20 years old, was re-
turning to his home on Cleveland
Avenue last night, he was held up
by two Negroes who blocked his
path near the B. & O. bridge. At
the point of a gun he was forced
into a dark spot near the fence
surrounding the M. E. cemetery
and there relieved of $40 and his
Watch. The thieves then fled and
young Moore after brief visit
to his home notified Chief Thomp-
son who Immediately started i'm
search of the criminals. No trace
of them, however, could be found.
Mr.. Moore stated that one of the
negroes was either armless or had
one arm in a sling. This one he
can readily recognize for he saw
him clearly. The other kept
away from the light and his
features could not be distin-
guished.
