PREVENTING BUSINESS FAILURES

An experiment which may result in stabi-
llzing effect on business generally is being made
by the National Wholesale Mems Furnishing
association. The aim is to prevent failures
among retail dealers through systematic extern
sion of aid to those verging on financial embar-
rassment who are found to be capable of re-
Mobilization. The association is informed when
ever retailer begins to fall behind in meeting
his obligations. Thereupon a QUESTIONABLE is
sent inviting him to make complete statement
of his condition. the local business situation and
other circumstances which may enable forma-
ton of opinion respecting the possibilities of
saving him. Thus before he has become utterly
discouraged or been thrust into bankruptcy the
wholesalers life saving crew is on the way to
his rescue. After study of the case, if it ap-
pears the is qualified for the business he is
IN and he has not sunk too far toward failure
plans are devised for restoring his business to
normal.
Then beneficial effects of stabilizing one
branch of trade by this or some other means
would extend outside the single circle 1t would
result in course of time in establishing business
IN the most competent hands Furthermore,
proving successful as it is said to be doing, it
would be copied by other trades with the result
that we should witness general STRENGTHENING
OF the country's business structure For though
there be no apparent connection between widely
differing lines of trade. they are all linked fac
tors in one whole. One cannot be adversely
affected without the others bearing share of
the burden.
There is nothing new about the principle.
1t is simply the principle of saving from de-
struction for the nominal benefit of one that in
which great many have stake

WHO is PROFITING?

Vice will reign in the Calumet region just
as long the authorities permit vice to reign.
Nobody ever heard of vice quitting until it was
forced to quit. It is not built that way. When
it isn't forced to quit there is something rotten
in Denmark. Take the city of Gary for in
stance. Conditions there are intolerable. They
are such that self-respecting newspaper in
the business OF selling news could any longer af-
ford to ignore them. Complaints have been
pouring into the offices of this newspaper for
some time about immoral conditions in Gary
and other places. The subscribers of news
paper have right to expect the news and truth
ful news about the moral conditions in the COM
munity in which they live. If the newspapers
do not give it to them where are they to get il?
It the press and pulpit do not expose immortality
how is it to be exposed. It has even come to
this newspaper that continued silence would
indicate that it getting paid for its silence.
Well there are those who are profiting out of
wee but this newspaper does not propose to
have it said that it enjoys share in the harvest
of vicious immortality be it moonshine selling,
gambling or prostitution.
We do not believe that the decent lawabiding
people N GARY, and they are IN the powerful
majority, will ever stand for an immoral wide
npen town and that the authorities would wink
at the brazen defiance of law and order there is
astonishing. The inmates of the underworld
openly charge that they paying for protec-
ton and the people want to know who is getting
it. If The Times can get the truth they shall
know it. These stories may not make pleasant
reading for oficialdom but it has the remedy in
its own hands. Vice must go. The statement
has been made that the foreigners demand a
wide-open town. 1t is not our information that
the cities of the Calumet region were built so
that the foreigner could have place to raise
hell and transplant Europe's immoralities to
these shores If the. foreign element does not
want law and order let it hurry back where it
came from. Other cities do not pander to the
moral obliquities of the foreign born, why

MINERS NOT DEAD
Chemical Engineer Says Men
VIII Be Found Alive.
viii Be Two Days Before a
Rescue Can Be Made.
(Bv the Associated Press.)

jackson, Calf, Sept. 15.-Dr. L. H.
Duschak, consulting chemical engineer
of the California Industrial accident
commission, today issued a signed
statement in which he predicted that
the forty-seven men entornbed for
eighteen days in the Argonaut would
be found alive.
There is ground for assuming that
the men under ground were not over
come by the poisonous gases from the
fire zone and that these gases are not
now passing thru the parts of the
mine in which the men sought refuge"
his statement said.
Jackson settled down today for an
other tedious wait for news from its
forty-seven men entombedz in the
Argonaut gold mine. Hope that some
unexpected freak of nature would
provide means for an early rescue
have faded. Only by the incessant
driving against the hardest rock oc-
way to rescue.
1t appeared certain today that the
honor of first opening up this path
way, which may mean life to many, if
not all of the entrapped miners, will
go to the Argonaut crew of muckers
and drillers working on the $500 foot
drift of the Kennedy mine. They were
expected to reach rock face tonight
a 78-foot barrier. On the basis of the
past record these men have made in
battling to unseal the subterranean
crypt of their felIowmen, it was esti-
mated they might cut this rough wall
in forty-eight hours.
Experts gave out the cheering news
this morning that a supply of fresh
air is entering the lower reaches of
the ArgOnaut mine.

New York, Sept. 15.-The entire
New York Central railway system to-
day signed an agreement with its con-
ductors and trainmen covering work.
ing conditions, wages and rules for one
year beginning September 80. The
signing of the agreement was an

H. Smith, president of the New York
Central; w. G. Lee, president of the
Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen.
and L. e. Sheppard, president of the
Brotherhood of Railroad Conductors.
The road said it was anticipated
that forthcoming direct negotiations
would result in similar agreem ents
with the engineers, firemen and
switchmen on all its lines.
THE New York Central MANAGE
ment,'' said the statement, feels that
today's settlement is happy augury
of better era in transportation"
Two Conferences On.
Two labor conferenSAs affecting diff
ferent groups of railroad workers were
on the calendar here today. At noon,
w. G.. Lee, president of the Brother
hood of Railroad Trainmen, and L.
E. Sheppard, president of the Order
of Railway Conductors, went into con-
ference with A. H. Smith, head of the
New York Central lines. and about
forty other road officials and labor
leaders, to receive the New York Gem
trails answer as to whether it was will
ing to agree to continuance of present
wage scales, working conditions and
rules in a new agreement.
Later in the day Mr.. Smith and
other officials of the New York Cen
trail were scheduled to meet fedora
ton chairmen representing the sys-
TENS striking shipmen. While the
purpose of this conference is not an
uounced, 1t was UNDERSTOOD the queS-
ton of whether the New York Cen
trail would subscribe to a settlement
on the base reached in the peace ne
gotiations at Chicago would be dis
cussed.
A statement issued by the New
York Central said that the direct set
tlement agreement would provide for
the immediate withdrawal of all con-
troversy on matters now pending be-
fore the United States labor board.
1t was understood that the settle
ment provides for a continuance of
the existing wage rate with possible
minor changes although the statement
did not specifically make this an
nouncement.
