YET ANOTHER BILL
SEENASPOSS|BLE
AID TO BR|NDELL
Author Denies 1t Is Meant to
Help Labor Car Says
Father Cashin Inspired 1t.

Coiucident with the announcement
that Gov. Miller will hear protests at
Albany to-day against the Westall
BILL which would permit the parole
of first term prisoners like Robert p.
Brindell, czar of the building trades,
after they have served a year, sec
ond bill was discovered which, Is was
said, might help Brindell should he be
prosecuted and convicted again after
release.
The bill, sponsored at the recent
legislative session by Assemblyman
, John ]. O'Connor of Manhattan, who
was one of Brindell's counsel, amends
section 2,1Ss of the penal law with
relation to the duty Of courts in sus-
pending sentences. 1t reads:
when two or moro sentences have
been imposed on the person con-
| victed the court. may at any time be-
fore the beginning of the second or
other sentence revoke the second or
other sentence and suspend the ex-
or reduce the same or make such
other disposition thereof as the court
may deem proper"
Anti Brindell leaders in the building
trades say that Brindell, if the bill
| were made law, could have his time
cut down. But Assemblyman O'Con-

preached It. But when they went home
from church and took of their Sunday
go meeting clothes, they put the
golden rule away in the wardrobe or
closet along with their Sunday clothes
to stay there until next Sunday. For no
matter how much they liked the goloen
rule as a theoretical rule of human con-
duct, they felt they would go broke il
they trie dto apply it in their daily
business
1t was a good rule, all right, but it
wouldn't pay.
ACTUALLY PAYS
SIX DAYS A WEEK.
Now, Judge Gary intimates that it win
actually pay six days in the week, as
well as sound good on Sunday. And this
general of the captains Of industry says
right out in public just what some of
the so-called reformers have been de-
nounced and damned as radicals for all
these years for saying. But as Judge
Gary is both enormously rich and emf
nently successful, his own associates in
business and their many followers will
not denounce Judge Gary as a radical
They will not discolor his appeal for the
humanities as socialism, anarchism or
Bolshevism. They will think there must
be something In it when Judge Gary
says:
From considerable experience I as
sert with confidence and emphasis that
taken as a whole, year after year, the
pecuniary gains Of a large or small bust
ness win be greater If it is fairly. hui

be true, 1t alone furnishes q logic tC

And to politicians he offered this:
'As a passing suggestion it may b'
observed that henceforth the political
party which pays the most attention tt
ethics is likely to secure endorsement
by the majority Of voters, especially the
women"
After asserting that "a large majority

mits the failure of business to live VI

He says that not many years ago

GARY'S WORDS
TO BUSINESS
SIGNIFICANT
Address From Steel
Leader on Right
Thinking.
MEANING IS NEW
Sign of Times Seen
in Statement of
Policy.
MEANING IS NEW

WASHINGTON. June 23.-If you are
interested in signs of the times, you will
find in Judge Ebert H. Gary's latest
public utterances one OF the most re-
markable and significant public addresses
made by anybody anywhere in recent
years. 1t was made to the Alumni Asso-
citation of Northwestern University.
While what Judge Gary said is not new
and has been said many times, it is SEN
sationaIly new in coming from the chair
man o the board Of the United States
Steel Corporation. His commanding po-
sition in the world Of finance and in
dustry, together with the record OF the
steel corporation as a ruthless, slave
driving corporation for many years I'M
der his leadership, give to Judge Gary's
most recent utteranee this especial sig
nifcance.
All over the country, bankers. manu-
facturers and business men look TO the
big captains OF industry for inspiration.
What Judge Gary says will make them
think. If men only will think, they viii
think right eventually II they only get
the habit and keep on thinking.
Up to date, business men have ap-
proved Of the golden rule on Sunday.
They listened attentively and sympa-
thetically while their favorite preacher

indifferently it's customers, Its employees,
it's competitors and even the general pub
lie. BY this regime the rule Of
might over right, prevailed. In business
the Golden Rule was given no thought,
certainly no place, In the practice of this
school and period"
So much for the old business. Now for
the new. He admits that the old hasn't
yet gone but says the new is on the way
"In every day life,'' he says, may still
be seen evidences of Indifference to prin-
ciple, some involving great moral turri-
tude. The collector of taxes, of revenues,
and others, could bear witness. Those
, who are imposed upon, by profiteers, in
the sale Of the necessities Of life and
comfort, by demands for extortionate
wage rates or for professional or expert
services, may justly complain that
ethical reasons are ignored in business
conduct"
BUSINESS ITSELF
HELD TO BLAME.
He added that business itself, ano
| business managers generally, have been
! to blame for the opinion of many per
sons, that business does not involve the
question Of ethics.
| Here comes the hope for the future.
ITO my personal knowledge" Judge
Gary declared, many Of the most In
telligent managers of business affairs,
| some very large and others smaller, who
have laid down the cares and difficulties
| Of this life, before their final departure,
completely changed their opinions and
reversed their methods concerning ethical
! questions.
This applies to many, who are still
living. Hundreds upon hundreds, yes
Indiana daily times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1914-1922, 1922-06-23

thousands upon thousands of business
men, all over the country, who twenty
years ago believed that the subject OF
ethics, had little, il any, rightful place
in business conduct, now assert and In
sist that 1t is essential and controlling
l think it properly may be
claimed, multitudes OF leading business
men during the last two decades, have
voluntarily devoted more and more time
and energy in a conscientious desire to
conduct their business in accordance
with the rules of propriety and honesty"
Another significant statement in this
memorable address was this:
Business men also recognize that the
rights of customers must always be re-
spected; that employees are associates
rather than servants, and should be
treated accordingly
If the Steel Corporation puts into eff
feet the principles 80 plainly laid down
by Judge Gary, its influence on the in
dustrial well being Of the United States
will be incalculable.

RISE OF OLIVER CROSBY FROM HUMBLE
BEGINNING To VAST WEALTH
College Friend of Skowhegan Man Leaves Gen.
erous Gift to University of Maine

ly of Dexter but for many years a
resident Of St Paul, Mimi. the Uniyer-
sity of Maine has received gilt of
500 600 Mr. Crosby directs the
gilt be used for the erection of "a
building for the department of engi-

Mr.. Crosby WIS managing partner of
the American Hoist & Derrick Co. of
st. Paul, one OF the largest engeneer-
ing plants of the northwest, having
manufactured munitions extensively
during the war.
Mr.. Crosby was never resident OF
Somerset County but he and his FAM
lily were well known in this section.
A young brother, j. Willis Crosby
frequently comes to tine Somerset
County Court house while his father
Josiah Crosby was also a prominent
lawyer of the old school. At an early
age Oliver Crosby showed a strong in
clnation for mechanics and instinc-
lively knew the use of carpenter
tools. He built dams where there
was running w&te:". making water
wheels to run pulleys and tin buzz
saws, much to the delight Of the boys
in the neighborhood On account OF
the scarcity of water power and the
great desire for power for operating

to him to construct large size wind
mill on the barn. The mill was

crudeness, the mill did not develop
sufficient power to carry out his ideas
but without d9ubt he gained much
amusement md useful information
from his experience. Mir. Crosby was
educated at the Maine State College,
now the University of Maine, grad
uating from that institution in 1875 as
a mechanical ongeneer. AT college
there were associated with him severa,
local men including the late Charles
Brainard, Judge L. f. Danforth and
Hon. s. w. Gould. In fairly recent
years he has visited with these
gentlemen in Skowhegan renewing
old friendships and early recollec-
tions, After graduating in 1875 Mr..
Crosby spent several months, around
the old home, in Dexter repairing the
buildings, painting them, building
fences and generally fixing up the old
homestead to take up live work in the
western country. His father paid
him for this work and he sue
ceeded in saving about $500
which he used in buying transporta-
ton to the centennial exposition that
