WOULD READJUST RATES

Manufacturer Tells Implement Men
of Argentina PESOS Worth
in Germany.

CHICAGO. October 13.-Readjust-
inent of foreign exchange rates 50
that foreign trade may not be I'M
peded was declared one of the great
est problems of the present time by
William Black. Louisville, Ky, manu-
facturer. in an address today before
the National Implement and Vehicle
Association convention.
Our exports of tillage imple-
ments and harvesting machinery are
about 90 per cent OF our domestic
consumption" he said therefore the
industry is dependent to a consider
able extent on foreign trade for its
prosperity.
The high premium of the dollar
has had the effect to divert the chan
nels OF foreign trade. An Argentine
peso will buy more goods in Germany
than in the United states, So the Ger
man manufacturer of agricultural
implements has a decided advantage
in that and other markets, on ac-
count of the relatively low value of
the German mark"

on the British front in Flanders, and
was with the American Army of Oc-
cupation in Germany. For his valu-
able work he was awarded the Brit
ish Military Cross. Recently he wrote
washington ClOse-Ups," a series Of
character sketches of eminent figures
in the national capital, which the
country is reading with vast enjoyment.
For two years Mr.. Lowry has been
making a close study of the business
of the government. He is given credit
in congress for his aid in passing the
budget bill and in bringing about the
naming of the joint committee of the
house and senate to investigate and
report upon the administration and Or
ganizatiOn Of the government executive
departments. He now wants the peO-
pie of the United States to know the
details of the United States govern
ment, which is their business He be-
lieves the knowledge Of these details
will make of them better Americans
and give them a better government.
No man not imbued with Mr.. Low
ry's high ideal could have carried out
this study of the government business
so exhaustively and painstakingly as
has he. Probably he now knows more
about it than any other man in the
world. With extraordinary persever-
ance and dOgged persistence he went
after hidden facts and multifarious de-
tails-and got them. Nothing was too
big for his comprehension or too small
for his attention. At one time he went
to a member of the cabinet with the
statement that the government had on
its payrOlls, exclusive of the officers
and men of the army and navy, one
employee for each 68 people of the
United States ten years Of age and
over engaged in gainful occupations.
1t took that cabinet officer, with the
assistants he had at his command, a
considerable time, and considerable ef-
fort to verify Mr.. Lowry's statement,
but he found it to be true.
As the result of his careful studies
Mr.. Lowry has written a series of ar
ticles on the. business of government
income and expense; where the money
comes from, and how and for what it
is spent; whether the organization of
the business side of government is eff
cient or inefficient; whether the gov
ernment wastes the money we give It.
The series is not in any sense politi-
cal. 1t is not an attack, not a muck
raking expedition. It recites facts
acknowledged facts. These
facts come from the men in the gov
the government itself
and they are all facts that every
American citizen is entitled to know
and should know. ]

C. LOWRY
A Writer of Recognized Authority
on National Governments
Business Methods.

No Washington correspondent is bet
ter known or more highly esteemed
than Edward G. Lowry. That in it.
self means that he has broad and deep
knowledge of national and world af-
fairs; that he is skillful in getting the
news and tactful in writing it, and
that he has the confidence of the pub
lie men with whom he comes in con-
tact. But Mr.. Lowry has more than
that. He has the really patriotic feel
ing that the intimate knowledge of the
nations affairs, which he acquires
through his work in Washington,
should be impaired to the people of
the country who have not his privileges,
in such a way that they will be led to
take that personal interest in the dOings
of the government, which alone VIII
result in good government. He wants
the people to realize that it is their
government, answerable to them only,
and that they only are responsible
for its good qualities and its bad quail
tiles. It is this feeling that has in
spired much of Mr.. LOwry's best work.
Born in Atlanta in 1876, Mr.. Lowry
was educated in private schools, the
Georgia Military institute and by priv
ate tutors, and began his journalistic
career at the age of twenty-fOur. In
1904 he was sent to Washington and
has been there almost continuously
ever since. He has been the political
correspondent of Harper's Weekly, has
written many articles for the periOdi-
cal press and since 1913 has been the
Washington correspondent of the New
York Evening Post, and for a consid-
cradle time the managing editor of
that paper. When Germany started
the World war the government natur-
ally found important work for Mr..
Lowry. For two years he was at
tached to the American embassy in
London, and then he returned to be-
come a captain in the aviation section |
of the signal CORPS. Then he was as

UNITED MINE WORKERS
SESSION TOMORROW
Wage Question Foremost for
Convention Discussion.

INDIANAPOLIS. Sept. 1S.-Delegates be-
gan arriving here to-day for the biennial
convention of the United Mine Workers
Of America, which opens Tuesday with
indications that the wage question will
be foremost in the convention discussion.
john l.. Lewis. president Of the interna-
tional Union. has declared against any
wage reductions. and the convention will
probably be asked to indorse that policy.
Present wage agreements between min
ers and operators expire next March 81
and meanwhile new scales must be ne
gotated by both the bituminous and an
thracite miners.
No time for the conventions adjourn
ment has been set. but the international
officers expect sessions will continue at
least two weeks. with most of the real
convention work getting under way late
the first week. Samuel Gompers. presi-
dent OF the American Federation of
Labor is expected to address the con-
venton, but no date for his speech has
been set, awaiting definite word from
the labor leader.
Preliminaries for the convention will
mark the opening day OF the convention,
with indications that Mr.. Lewis will sub
nit his report. The rest of the week
union officials expect to be devoted to
the reports of William Green, secretary
treasurer Of the organization. and Philip
Murray. its vice-presldent. followed by
two days or more of general discussion
by the delegates.

TO approve the transfer of several OF

branches in need of such craft.
Plans to supplement enforcement ac-
tivity by the assignment of ships 70

their transfer TO the United States Coast
Guard. which is under control OF the
Treasury Department. AS both the

tary Of the Treasury, it was declared
that official would be authorized to di-
y:rt any Of the coast guard vessels

vessels are temporarily assigned to duty
Off the larger ports along the Atlantic
coast to catch smugglers. Tine vessels
are not under orders TO watch for
liquor smugglers particularly but to de-
tect all brands OF smugglers.
The point now made by prohibition
authorities is that ships should be pro-
Tded for the exclusive purpose of run

transferred for that purpose probably
would cruise off the coast distance Of
