Labor vs.. Business Recovery

A prominent local banking firm, COM
menting on the coal strike in a circular
letter, says: 1T is generally recog-
nized that, If compromise of the labor
controversy could be accomplished, an
other serious obstacle now retarding the
development Of industrial activity in
this country will have been removed.
The requisites for the Nations prosper
ity are only fully satisfied when its
productive resources are we'll employed,
when its factories are busy. and when
its labor forces are ut work. There
fore, restraints upon production either
on the part of capital to protect abnor.
NAL business margins, or on the part OF
labor to maintain an uneconomic level
of money wages are attacks upon the
ultimate means of industrial welfare.
From this point of view. the leaders
Of organized labor when calling strikes
to enforce demands for the continuance
Of wartime rates--or even higher wages
are not only delaying business re-
covery and demoralizing all lines Of re-
lated industries. but are injuring the
interests of their adherents.

Federal Reserve Banks Earnings

Comparing the December 81, 1921,
statement OF the Federal Reserve Bank
Of Philadelphia with that of the year
before, it is found that bills discount
ed for member banks decreased $685.
S31 900, and total earning assets
500, ,O1S, 900. Maturing loans were
paid off in this district, not so much
by the payment of gold and other cash,
which increased 81 1i,2G3, 900, or BY
debts to member banks reserve ac
counts, which decreased only 81, 6,3OS 900.
as by the return of Federal Reserve
notes, of which $77,507 900 were re-
tired from circulation during the year.
The reserve ratio responded to the les
sened calls upon the loaning power Of
this reserve bank and the gain reserves
by increasing from 54.7 to n.2 per
cent.
Although the rate Of earnings on
loans and discounts was about the same
AZ in 1920, the smaller amount of earn
ing assets was reflected in a diminu-
ton in the earnings of the bank. The
gross earnings for 1921-$S, ,00S, ,00O---
were derived from the following sources {:
Bills discounted. S5.5 per cent; pur-
chasing paper. Ga per cent; United
States securities, 70 per cent, and
miscellaneous sources. 0.6. per cent
After the payment of dividends and the
addition of S935, 90 to the surplus, the
remainder-$3.S .SSG, ,552 was turned
over to the Government in payment OF
the franchise tax. In 1920, owing to
the fact that the surplus of 100 per
cent of the subscribed capital permitted
by law had just been built up, only
1868 ,662 was paid to the Government
as franchise tax.
The total of all discounts and open
market purchases during 1921 was
81, ia, 403 900, a decrease Of 80 per
cent from 1920, and of G1 per cent frolu
1919. The average daily earning as
sets show the effect of these operations
upon the holdings Of the bank. for
1921 the average was SlGO. 800, 900, rs
compared with S233 ,SSS 900 in 1920
With the decline in borrowings b!
member banks, this bank has increased
its purchases of bankers acccptances
in the open market. Its total pur'
chases Of this class Of paper in 1872
were 500, 900, of which all bu

Caution Signals More Plentiful

If any one gets landed on, the crest
Of the bullish wave they will have no
one to blame but themselves. Each
day caution sigma are becoming more
plentiful and more conspicuously dis
played. Some Of the accepted market
observers, while still conofdent that a
much higher level of security values will
be attained before the close of the year,
arc still open and frank with the sug-
gestion that the time has arrived for
the cashing in of some of the pyramid
ing paper profits. One Of the argu-
ments offered is that the business men
who went into the market to employ
id Q funds for which they had no use
because Of the slackening of trade, are
beginning to draw out the same money
to put In the business which now shows
signs Of quickening.

ulative combinations who began to ac-

tEAR METROPOLITAN CLAIM

George W. Norris, governor OF the
Xederal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia.
. has written an open letter to the Mayor
and Council, calling attention to the
oontention that the Metropolitan Mu-
( Ueum in New York will have valid
claim on the John G.. johnson art col
lection, unless the city houses the pic
tures in the johnson house, as pro.
vided in tho will.
The plan of condemnin: part Of the
johnson property to open Naudain
street so the collection can be housed
IN the new Municipal Art Gallery. Mr..
Norris regards as a proposed rcpudia-
tion Of the city's acceptance of the
/: collection by the terms Of the will.
He characterizes the proposal as
staking advantage of n man who was
abundantly able to protect himself In
Nfe,, but whose powers have now been
,palSed BY the hand Of death"
The remedy proposed by Mr.. Norris
for the impasse that still keeps the
johnson collection for the most part in
q warehouse Is for the city to give
adequate fire protection TO the Johnson
house and place the pictures on view.
II the necessary funds cannot be pro-
vided from the tax levy then they can
be borrowed. says Mr.. Norris, who
states that the amount necessary would
not be very much greater than 1.-THE
sum needed for purposes of destruction
IN the proposed opening of Naudain
nfreet."

SNOW HOUSE NEEDS CARE
Constant Changes Necessary in Root
to Keep Interior Heat as
II Should Be.

The Eskimo makes constant changes
In the thickness of the roof of his
snow house, or igloo, to keep its in.
terror heat uniform.
Vilhjalmur Stefansson, the Arctic ex-
plorer, tells about snow hut built
at 90 degrees below zero Each block
of snow used in its construction was
necessarily of the same temperature
and contained what might be wrongly
termed great deal of "latent cold"
To neutralize this cold it was neces-
sary to keep the inside of the hut for
a considerable time at a temperature
of 60 degrees Fahrenheit.
Snow is so nearly non-cOnductor
OF heat that, once the 'latent cold"
had been neutralized, the heat of hui
man bodies alone kept the tempera-
ture well above the freezing point,
even when hole in the roof was open
for ventilation. Sometimes when the
heat rose too high the roof would be-
gin to melt. Then the roof had to
be shaved on the outside anywhere
from two to four inches thinner so
that the cold from the outside would
penetrate the snow hlncks

EXPENSIVE ADVERTISING

An advertising scheme presented
the City Council Monday night with
what amounts to an exclusive fran
chise for the use of public streets
for its medium ought to be given
serious consideration before it is
put over. At first blush it appears
very plausible, and from the city's
viewpoint. cheap. 1t looks like
something for nothing, but it is not
Under the terms of the franchise
the foreign advertising company is
permitted for five years to main
tain cans on the principal street cor
ners into which rubbish, such as pa
pers,, peelings of all kinds and SINH
lar trash may be deposited to be
emptied once each month, or often
er If so ordered by the city council.
These cans are to cost the city moth
ing, but the company is empowered
to place advertising on the sides of
the cans and collect for the same
The Argus is informed that the
cost of this advertising is to be $3.50
per month for each ad, or $1,000 per
can. By simple multiplication this
amounts to $120 per month; $144O
per year. or total of $1,000 for the
life of the franchise.
The Argus is also informed that
the cost of the cans will be from $40
to $500 each. The cost of paint
ing the 4S signs will not be more
than 500 at the outside maybe with
some changes during the year the
total cost will reach that figure;
while the cost of having the cans
dumped once per month during the
year might reach total of another
500 per year, thus making the total
cost to the advertising company dur
ing the life of the contract less than |
$1,000, for which it would receive |
$1,000.
However, this is not the only |
ground for objection to such a fran
chise. This company pays no tax
to support the city and If it's cans
were stolen or otherwise destroyed
it would use the officers of the city
to protect its property rights; the
city in this franchise is surrender
ing a portion of the city's public
streets to a private concern, that
an outside concern at that. The
city compelled the removal of the
poles of the Idaho Power Company,
and the Malheur Home Telephone
Company from the streets, at big
expense to them, and now this adver
tising company comes asking for
permission to use the streets often in
the very place where poles were re-
moved. And both the light and
phone company are big taxpayers
here.

GREAT northern
OPPOSES DIVORCE
Continuation of Present Rela-
tions With Burlington
Is Desired.

Washington, d. G. Ralph Budd.
president of the Great Northern rail-
way, attacked the selection of the
Great Northern by the interstate COM
merce commission as the road to be
divorced from the Burlington in the
proposed consolidation of northwest
roads.
Budd argued in hearings before the
commission that if it is felt that either
the Great Northern or the Northern
Pacific should be divorced, it should
be the latter. He testified that argu-
ments advanced for grouping the
Great Northern with the Chicago, Mil.
waukee & st. Paul, opposing it to
union of Northern Pacific and the
Burlington "for competitive reasons
were erroneous"
Contentious that the Northern Pa
cific and the st. Paul were parallel
and competitive in Montana are un-
founded, he declared, because the re-
gion where the roads parallel is noun.
famous and sparsely settled and little
traffic originates there.
President Byram Of the Chicago,
Milwaukee G. st. Paul was one of the
most agreeable witnesses to be inn
agined. He said he came to help the
commission, not to hinder He. said
his company was favorable to the
commissions plan, which would COM
bine the st. Paul and Great Northern
and would just as readily accept a
plan uniting his road with the North
ern Pacific.
He suggested, however, that if any
further consultations were contem-
plated his road would welcome a com.
bination with the Union Pacific
