BUSINESS REMAINS
ON UPGRADE IN u S.
Various induces Reflect I'm
proved Industrial COndi-
tons During Week.

NEW YORK, Nov. 12.-(By A. P.)
Continuation of the persistent i'm
provement in Industrial conditions
Is indicated by the various business
and financial induces which became
available during the past week.
Loadings Of railroad cars with rev.
nue. freight show further gains, both
in coal and general merchandise
The total loadings for the week
ended oct. % amounted 10 1.014,OO0
cars. which is only 1000 cars less
than loadings in the week ended
Oct. is, 1920, when the high record
for all time was set 1t is clear.
Furthermore, that an even larger
volume OF traffic might be moved II
the transportation facilities were
available.
Soft coal production has been e.
tablished at a level Of approximately
100000 tons a week and the
whole fuel situation is growing dis
tinctly easier.
Meanwhile it is evident that the
better coal and transportation situa-
UOnS nave been or distinct help 70
the steel industry. October's produc-
ton OF both pig iron and steel ex-
ceeded that in any month in the last
two years.
Confirmation OF the many evidences
or active fall trade are found in the
money market and bank reports
Bill holdings OF the federal reserve
system are stnl growing and the
rate on bankers acceptances show a
tendency toward additional firmness.
AS far as agricultural products
are concerned. the feature of the
past week has been a further strong
rise in cotton. Despite heavy profit
taking which had no serious effect
until near the end OF the week. The
December future rose TO 26.SOc.
which is over six cents above the
price existing in Oct ?.
Wheat prices have sagged back
somewhat from their late highs. but
have retained the greater part OF
their recent gains. II would appear
that these gains were caused largely
by foreign buying which has now
been suspended on account OF the
foreign exchange situation.

stroying Property of Pro-
duction Company.

HOUSTON, Texas, Nov. 12.-(By
A. PD-More than one million bar
rels OF oil was doomed early tonight
and indications were that a similar
amount probably would be con-
sumed in a spectacular fire sweep
ing the Gulf Production Co. tank
farm at Humble. Lightning caused
the blaze.
Three enormous underground
reservoirs said to have a capacity
Of 400, 900 barrels each. caught fire
and the boiling matter spread rap
idly toward three other nearby pits
The whole farm consists of 20 tanks
all Of which may be lost.
The blaze can be seen for miles
Workers were handicapped in
fighting the blaze, both because OF
the heat and the condition OF the
field. Rains have almost flooded
the section and the fire fighting
apparatus could not be moved in
quickly. Efforts were being made
20 keep the blaze back by the use
OF steam.
The farm is situated on a prairie
and fears are entertained that oil
will spread beyond immediate prop
erty. The site is three miles from
Humble. however. and viii moi

While the oil belongs technically
TO the Gulf Production Co, the
earthen storage belongs 20 the Gulf

Mr.. Crutcher states that the avail
able ships will only embark 1000
people. He believes that not exceed
ing one third of the refugees will be
able TO leave the country within the
period set for them to do so by the
Turks. He therefore is making
efforts to induce the Angora gov

McA In Attack
On Opponents OF
Bonus Legislation
Declares 1t Can Be Financed
by Beneficiaries of Tar
iff Measure.

FULLERTON. Calf, Nov. 70
Payment of adjusted compensation
to former soldiers and sailors at
the expense OF benefciaries OF the
Fordney- McCumber tariff bill was
urged in an armistice day address
here today by William G. McAdoo,
former secretary OF the treasury.
Assailing those who have fought
the soldiers bonus on the ground
that il would be a burden on the
country. Mr.. McAdoo declared il
was sheer hypocrisy TO say that the
nation cannot bear this relatively
insignificant burden when great
su bs dies are granted 10 private in
terests at the expense OF the peo-
pie and for purpose which cannot
be successfully defended.
The Fordney- McCumber tariff
bill was passed by congress and ap-
proved by the president, it Is es-
timated that the trusts, monopolies,
combinations iii restraint of trade
and other beneficiaries of this meas
ure will be able TO take from the
pockets Of the American people So
600, 100000 by annum while the law
is on the statute books.
How can such constituencies
misuse OF powers Of government be
sailors who saved our institutions
are denied a Just recognition of 81
500. 900. 900 on the ground that 10
grant it would impose excessive
burdens on the American people? ?"
Let an average of the net earn
ings of every trust, monopoly, cor
poration, or beneficiary of the Ford
ney-RIcCumber tariff bill be ascer-
tanned for FIVE years. or for some
reasonabl period preceding the
enactment Of the law. Then take
each year so percent of all net earn
ings OF these tariff beneticlaries IN
excess of this average. while the
bill is in effect and apply 1t 10 the
payment of the bonus.
This is not an impractical idea.
Ii can be formulated into law
that cal. be administered. The plan
is analogous TO that adopted by the
British government for raising mon
ey 10 carry on the war.
There are some things that can
not be measured in dollars. Justice
is one of them The nation must
stand fur justice and do justice no
matter what the cost may be IN
blood or treasure
Mr.. McAdoo also suggested mat
the payment of adjusted compen-
sation might be effected by issuing
long tarm bonds If that method
should seem the most desirable
