 A method of saving money which many small business men are begin ming to appreciate more and more that of discountink their bills prompt ly-is outlined in the "slipsheet." the monthly organ of the Hartford Typo thetae. While reference is made only 10 purchases of paper. the idea can be carried out with all merchandise and 1t will be possible for men in business to save as much as 31.5o per month on every Slo0 invested, The "Slipsheet" says 1t can be done thus:
 Let's assume your paper pur- chases averages $1oo almonth. You go to the bank and borrow $1oo for a period Of one year at six per cent That makes the interest $500. You pay for your paper stock and get discount of per cent. You sell that stock in the period of a month and then you buy another $1o0 worth the next month with the receipts from the sale of the stock that you had bought the previous month. You pay this bill within the specified time allowed for discount and make $2 more. Repeat this operation every month for period of one year and you have made $o4 in discounts on the $loo you borrowed at the bank for six per cent. A net profit Of 31S."

SETTLEMENT PLANS.

It becomes evident from a com pos!te view of the reports Of the settlement to be suggested by the White House in the rail strike, thai the seniority matter is the main issue This being settled satisfactorily. the men would return to work pending further consideration of the other complaints by the Railroad Labor Board.
 Such study of the reports, however brings the inevitable conclusion that the proposal is to be made that some Of the men who worked through the time of the walkout, or who went to work during that time, will suffer. The old men may gain the seniority privileges coming with the time they worked while strikers were idle and only those rights. They may be advanced over the heads of the strikers if their period of service was equal to thelrS With the exception ol the time of the walkout. Nothing will be given them as reward for faithfulness in distressing time. The strikers, in other words will not be taken back as new men''-the thing which the roads declared they would do if they took the men back at all.
 And the strikers. returning to work, will be placed ahead of the new men who filled their places.
 This, it would seem from reports today, is the theory of the settlement being considered by the White House.
 It is not a fair theory. It is unfair to the new men who, perhaps, left other employment relying on promises of permanent positions and relying upon the attitude of the railroads and the Railroad Labor Board
 The truth of the matter Is the strike has not accomplished and would not accomplish what the lead CTS of the strikers expected 1t would accomplish. At this time, certainly, industry is not paralyzed as they expected it would be paralyzed. It Is seen that the machinery of the government is such that the power is there to prevent paralysis If the dis position of the government to use all its strength were a bit more emphatic. The strikers are quite willing to get from under" if they can do so without losing anything of great value such as their seniority rights.
 Forget unions and union members for a moment. Consider the working man, as such, and not as member of any union-though the man we are considering may or may not be such member. The working man should be treated fairly. He has been prom ised something-a permanent job He has been assured that others will not be put over his head. Those promises must be kept if respect for the Railroad Labor Board the rail- roads, as employers, and respect for the authorities is to be preserved There should be no settlement at the expense of the working man who relied on promises made by respon- sible organizations or individuals.

THE SILENT OFFICERS AS TRAF-
 FIG DIRECTORS.

July 2s. 1922. To the Editor of The Herald:-
 The silent officers at intersect- ing highways in our city read very plainly, "go to the right" A large number of autoists persist in cutting short the turn to the left of the si- lent officer. Unless instructed by a traffic policeman to do otherwise, there is one course and only one open, and that Is to the right. Re peatedly small cars as we'll as busses and trucks cut in to the left and the habit is increasing daily. Why not have the rules enforced? Why wait for a serious accident?

Scandal Exposed.

Scandal Exposed. In 1920 the Lockwood Investigating committee was continued, Mir. Shen. dan explained, to investigate the req son for the lack of new building en- terprises in New York. Samuel Unter- meyer was retained as its attorney and his expose of the building ring resulted in one of the greatest sensa- tions Of the year. resulting in the sending to prison of several prominent union leaders. &'
 Tells of Hold-Up.
 Mir. Sheridan, who was one of the investigators, explained that while | majority of the union men thepaselves were all right, there were/a few crooked leaders who welded enough power to control the whole situation. Quoting names, addresses and figures, Mir. Sheridan explained how the union grafters worked. For instance, he said, a man would have u kig building under construction when n business agent" would call en ii,, and, say that "Mr. Brindeli wants to see you% On visiting Brindel the builder would be advised that do you know, you are liable to have lot of trouble with that building. It will cost you S5.000 to ge. away with it without trouble" If the man came through with the amount demanded, he had no trouble. If he refused. within d few hours all the laborers would bA called out on strike and no more work would be done until he had come to terms with the leader.
 Senator Lockwood himself is sum mering at Washington. Conn, and At- torney Untermeyer will return from Europe next week. prepared to again start another exposure in New York, Mir. Sheridan says. a- t
 Tax Exemption Law.
 Mfr. Sheridan explained other acts by the New York legislature, one of which is the so-called Tax Exem ption Law, which is intended to stimulate home building. It proves that any per- son who builds a hom. for his own use shall be tax free for ten -years- providing he uses it for his own home. .."'.
 Regarding disposscssing, Mir, sheri- dan says that there are now but three reasons permitting such acting The landlord may prove that the tenant will not pay his rent; must prove that the tenant conducts a disorderly or place; or must prove that he wants to move into 1t for his own private residence.

SPECIAL AGENT IN NEW YORK SCANDAL
Sheridan Tells Herald of Lock.
 wood Committee work

Joseph A. Sheridan, a special in- vestigator of the joint legislative com. mittee on housing for the state of New York, popularly known as the Lockwood committee. is summerins in Plainville and today dropped into the Herald office for | chat during which he outlined the work of the committee and explained how 1t came Into being.
 Mir. Sheridan explained that back in 1919, 100000 dispossessing notices were served on tenement dwellers in New York city and due to the. high rents and lack of accommodations these people had no place to 90. The situation was 50 grave that Governor Smith. then in the executives chair, made a personal investigation. feared that rioting and bloodshed might re- suit if these people were put out Of their homes, and immediately called a special session of the legislature to remedy the matter. ..
 Senator Lockwood was named as chairman Of a joint committee. He went to New York and as | result of his Investigations the. legislature or dered that no tenant was to be dis possessed for two years that no land lord could boost his rent more than 10 per cent and to do that must prove to a court that he has made repairs and his own taxes had been Increased.

Ancient City Is
Found on Island

Mr.. Ferguson told of his first trip
In the region at the outlet of Siski-
witt lake, which he said he thought
tailed with Gilman's data, but there
was no trace Of town. Last year
he found a waterfall which he thought
was the one mentioned In GilmanS
report. Because of the lateness Of the
season, however. the explorer was un-
able to finish his work, he said. and so
made q third trip this season with
party Of five assistants, but their first
efforts failed to locate the town.
At length Mr.. Ferguson concluded
that ridge, II located in the vicinity,
would answer certain description OF
the topography Of the country as CIV
on by the writer of half century ago.
He continued his search, he said, and
finally was rewarded by finding what
he considers unmistakable traces of a
town between Hay bay and the water
fall on the south side Of Isle Royale.
