COURT URGES BANKERS TO
ESTABLISH LABOR ETHICS

NEW YORK, May 1s.-County
Judge Taylor of Brooklyn suggests
that the Bankers association les
tabalish a code Of ethics and write
lit big, bold type that the laborer
is worthy Of his hire.'i'
The court took this position sfter
he sentenced bank bookkeeper
who had, pleaded guilty to forgery.
The testimony showed that the
bookkeeper sreceived h1t $22 a week.
This is an example Of service
profiteering' not uncommon among
banks" said Judge Taylor. 1T may
not be legally preventable, but it is
certainly morally reprehensible."

BRITISH UNIONS
PLAN TO REVIVE
. LABOR ALLIANCE
Transport and Rail Workers
May Agree 70 let Together.

~LONDON.-When the Triple AL
lance Of Miners Railway Workers,
and Transport Workers collapsed
last year during the coal struggle it
was forecast that an attempt would
be made to bring together again the
two partners who's occupation is re-
ally inter-dependent-t is, the
railway men and the general trans
port workers.. 1t was proven clearly
last year that when a coal stoppage
took place it did not follow neces-
sarily that the other partners in the
old Triple Alliance were seriously
affected. Given the accumulation
of large stocks Of coal, ordinary
transport might proceed for some
weeks and that is, it fact, what did
happen.
In the case of strike at the
docks or on the railways, however,
all classes Of transport workers are
Immediately affected. Consequently
the dispute Of one class of workers
is Of mutual interest to the others.
| Recongnizing this fact, the execu-
! tives of the three railway unions,
including the Railway Clerks Asso-
| citation, have decided to recommend
the acceptance of a scheme for at
| filiation to the Transport Workers
Federation. The history Of all the
organizations concerned during the
past three or four years shows that
| the policy of the new alliance is
more likely to be conciliatory than
aggressive.
| The expectation of the leaders is
! that the combined strength of the
unions, with total membership. OF
100000, will give them such influ-
ence in negotiation that the settle
ment of disputes without conflict
will be achieved with less difficulty
than in the past. It may be recalled
in support Of this hope that when
the railwaymen declared a lightning
strike two or three, years ago the
transport federation leaders, instead
of calling a sympathetic strike
formed joint mediation committee
and brought about a. settlement
within a week.
| The leaders of the new alliance
| lnclude some OF the ab--.-t ana mos
influential men in the British labor
! movement, and they are predomi'
nantly. moderate. j. H. Thomas, H
Gosling, ]. O'Grady, E. Bevin, r. G.
Walkden, and others in the grouI
have made their mark as shrewd
and successful negotiators, and al.
though Robert Williams, who will
be the secretary Of the enlarged fed:
GRAFTON, has been regarded in thu
past as something of a firebrand
and an aggressive radical, he ha.
gained an entirely different reputa.
! ton among transport employers al
the result of his attitude in the ne
gotiating chamber.
+ The alliance will have one inter.
esting result. Hitherto the railway
unions have been little concerned ir
international Labor relations, while
the Transport Workers Federation
has taken a. prominent part in thu
work Of the Internationl Federation
The railway leaders will now b<
brought much more closely into

InSaccordance with custom the re-

Arsenic volatilizes at a. relatively
low temperature, and in the ordin-
ary smelling operation tor years has
gone off in the fumes through the
smokestacks.,, The result of. that is
that, as Indicated by the Senator
from Utah. the. vegetation within a.
very. wide radius is utterly de-
.stroyed. Actions were brought by
the Government Of the United States
against a number of smelters to en-
join their operation because the
fumes were destroying the National
forests in the vicinity Of the smelt-
ers,, and they were enjoined from
operation unless they installed a
plant for the extraction of the ar
senic from the fumes going off In
the. air. They do so now, so they
produce a commercial product as a
by-product of their smelling opera
tions which formerly -.es lost.
Really, I would like to hear what
the Senator from Utah has to say
az to why, under those circum-
stances, there should be a protective
tariff on the production of arsenic,
which the smelters are compelled to
produce whether they want TO do it
or not.-Senator Walsh Of Montana.

Less than a quarter of a. century
ago, in the greater enjoyment of in
dividual rights and local self-gov-
eminent, our Federal authorities
found it necessary to have upon the
pay roll of the Federal Government
fewer than 200 sleuths and special
agents and inspectors to aid in the
enforcement of Federal laws. Will
any one defend the policy of the
Federal Government which today
employs more than $4,000 inspec-
tors, sleuths, and inauisitorial
agents to dog the footsteps of him
who should be, in the exercise Of his
constitutional rights, enjoying the
hitherto dignity and freedom of an
honest American citizen?, Such
policy Is an invasion of the inherent
rights Of the American citizen, OF
the rights Of the local people to self
government, and of the rights of the
country to~limit it's taxation to pub

Editorial Comment
Where Partisa nship Should Stop
(Boston HERALD


Particularly significant is the April
review Of business and financial con-
ditions which has just been issued by
the federal reserve board. 1t is sig
nificant because, through the concise
summary there given, one is now en-
ahled to get concrete view of the
zeal business progress which is TAX
ing place throughout the country as a
whole. What is more, this movement
is described as something beyond
seasonal activity. New England bust.
ness mon. whose district represents
some Of the shaded areas Of the pic
ture, by reason of the widespread
textile strike, should not overlook
this more general movement, for by
overlooking it they will lose one of
the present inspirations to the prose-
cution Of their own work.
AS a helpful factor to this improve
mcnt the services of the federal re-
serve board are not to be forgotten.
1t probably never happened before
that a new banking system has had
to undergo such severe and diverse
tests in so short a period as fell to
the federal reserve. The major prob
lens which confronted it were en-
trcly new, and without presidents
Of any kind to fall back upon. As
directing head of the system, the fed
eral reserve board has had a most
difficult part to perform. Yet the
statement can be safely made that
the board has discharged these func-
tons during this time of incompara-
bic difficulties with a judgment which
has gained for it the confidence of
the banking and business community.
The official term of the governor of
the board, the Hon. w. 2. 6. Harding,
will expire Nle coming August. To
party politicians this may seem to
present an interesting situation. He
is an Alabaman and Democrat.
Already suggestions have been made
that he should he replaced by Re
publican.
We trust that it is not necessary
to say this, but nevertheless, we can
not emphasize too strongly our con-
NiCtion that the federal banking sys-
tenn is a department where party pol
ltics or group distinctions should
never enter. To admit them is to
strike a serious blow at the spirit and
integrity of the system itself How
sensitive is the business community

cd ability are the only tests. Gov
Crnor Harding has shown the posses
sion Of such ability II as trying
time as will ever come'to any banker.
He has won the right to reappoint-
ment. He ought to receive it.
Should this question Of change be
pressed upon the President, the bust
ness men Of the community will
watch his attitude thereon most
closely, and rightly SO, for involved

A Rely to Musicians Union

To the Editor, Kennebec Journal
1t is not my intention to enter
newspap per controversy regarding the
failure of the Musicians Union OF
Augusta to grant the necessary per-
mission to the Augusta symphony
Orchestra on the occasion OF the
Grant Centenary. l do desire, how
ever, to make clear one point and
that is that neither / personally nor
any member of the Augusta Chamber
of Commerce. nor any person acting
in our behalf. ever made an offer OF
payment for the services of an or
chestra for that occasion.
There were never any funds avail
able for the purpose of employing an
orchestra. 1t was up to me to Sc
cure, il possible, the services of an
orchestra which would play without
charge as a contribution to the COM
munity and as a tribute to the great
national leader. whose centenary we
were observing. Failing in this | had
no other recourse. In this same spirit
l had to get together the mems chorus
which performed on this occasion.
The Chamber of Commerce paid for
the printing of the program and for
the sheet music used by the men.
Everything else was donated includ-
ing hall, janitor service, ushering,
and decorations. Community projects
must be conducted on this basis.
Our first thought, as a committee,
was that the Symphony Orchestra
should lie invited to play at the Cen
tcnary but we found that tie leader
and some Of the other members were
engaged at the Colonial and would
not he available fog the evening. The
matter of program being left to me,
began looking around for a possible
substitute and was informed that
there existed in Augusta ladies' or
chestra, which was doing excellent
work. and came to the conclusion
that ii might he prevailed upon TO
volunteer it's services for the occa-
sion. | took the matter up with the
manager of this orchestra and was
informed that this orchestra would
require permission from the Mus-
clans Union as it was made up of
both union and non-union players.
These negOtia tons were never COM
pleted as | learned about that time
that tho services of Mr.. Hill and the
other Colonial players could be had
due to the kindness of Manager Jo-
seph Salisbury without charge except
for a substitute pianist. I am glad
to publicly acknowledge our indebt-
edness TO Manager Salisbury for his
kindness and for the public spirit
shown by him.
Trusting that I have sufficiently an
sWered any criticism that may be
implied and cleared away any doubt
that may exist, and with highest trib-
ute to the members Of the Augusta
symphony Orchestra whose willing
ness TO help is recognized and ap-
preciatcd, l am,
