ed. One member of the union stated

union, said that the men of these
trades average $50 work days a year,
and the wage is none too large as it
it. Two men were present in behalf of

years ago. While moving it, n small
piece of the rock was broken off and
Mr.. Baker has it in his possession.
The Daughters of the America n
Revolution are undertaking the task
of replacing the stone, which is cost
ing large amount of money. 1t will
he cncascd so there will be no poaCh-
ing for specimens in years to come.

10 he of great antiquity. its history
dating back before Christ. 1t was

Says Courage Only
Needed to Hasten
Return to Normal

New York, March 24-American
business needs only courage on the
part of business men as we'll as other
people, with industrial honesty and a
strict maintenance of laws to return
to normal prosperity. Ebert II. Gary.
chairman of the lnited States Steel
Corporation, declared today in COM
mcnting on General trade conditions.
THE business men Rave the oppor-
tunity to bring about honesty, reason
able and fair prosperity" he said,
and they can do so if the authors
ties will maintain the laws and thus
secure for individuals the right to
work in accordance with their oppor-
tunities and desires. But the people
of the country must be courageous,
industrious and economical, for in
that way only can prosperity be
brought back"
Mr.. Gary said that the action of
the United States senate in ratify-
ing the treasties made by the con-
ference in Washington will have a
decided influence on conditions and
will go long way toward accelerat-
ing and establishing satisfactory ba-
sis.
( In a general survey CT the steel and
iron trade, with which Mr.. Gary pref
aced his remarks on business condi-
lions, he declared that if other pro-
ducers hold to their announced in
tontion of advancing prices, his COM
pany undoubtedly will do likewise.
"Whatcver We do will be done
openly" he added. 1T will he our
policy and principle to follow in
crcases in the selling prices of others
UP to the point which we believe to
Nc fair and reasonable and not any
further.
TT is still a fact that tho prices of
many retailers and middlcmen arc
too high and must he reduced before
they will obtain the patronage to
which they arc entitled, and that the
wages demanded by some of the
trades arc out of line and n great him
drance to enterprise and necessary
construction.
