SEES NEED OF SAVING

In a statement prepared for the
Saving Division OF the Treasury De-
partment, Mr.. Samuel Gompers, pres
ident OF the American Federation Of
Labor, said:
"At the Denver convention in July,
1921, the American Federation of
Labor dedicated itself to the work of
protecting the earnings of the small
investor from dishonest financial OPP
erations. The capitalist has means
of investigating stocks and securities.
The men and women of industry are
too often robbed of their savings by
fraudulent stock selling schemes. which
should not be permitted by law. 1t is
estimated that more than S500,000,00O
was swindled from the public in 1920
oy the sale of fraudulent and worth
less stocks and securities. This loss
should be avoided.
I'VE have urged, and shall continue
to urge, the small investor to invest
his funds in Treasury Savings Securi-
ties and Postal Savings, to the end
that thrift, economy, and the accumu-
lation OF savings fund may become
a part of the everyday life of every
American worker. That does not mean
that investments offering better re-
turns are unsafe. 1t is merely calling
attention to the safest investment and
the surest return.
I'm fighting against fraud we do not
intend to participate in any propa-
ganda arguing that the small investor
should be satisfied with small returns.
Men with investment experience do
not increase their incomes in that
manner. The average person natur-
ally tries to emulate the successful
investor and far too often he loses his
entire savings because of the diff
Guilty he has of choosing between the
actually sound investment and the in
yestment which is apparently sound
but is actually fraudulent. The situa-
ton has therefore arisen of worthy in
dustries unable to attract investment
funds. A healthier investment situa-
ton would develop If the government
would undertake to protect all invest
ors from dishonest financial operations.
That would give the smaller investor
a better chance to make his savings
source OF increased income and would
constitute an additional argument in
favor of economy and thrift"

for he was aged and very holy-he had
been ordained a minister when he was

But I could not help thinking, as l

Mira would have had a different and
much more sympathetic attitude to-

REPORT OF l. @. @.
TO CONGRESS.
"Of the situation then existing, the
Interstate Commerce Commission in its
special report to Congress said:
"'Since the outbreak of the war in
Europe, and especially since this coun-
try was drawn into that war, 1t has
become increasingly clear that unifica-
| ton in the operation Of our railroads
during the period of conflict ia tndis-
pensable to their fullest utilization for
the national Q6IenSe anu WelldEe' hcS
must be drawn like the individual from
the pursuits OF peace and modified to
win the war. This unihcation can be
effected in one of two ways, and we see
but two.
1.-The first is operation as unit by
| the carriers themselves. In the en0rt
along this line initiated early In this
year they are restricted by State and
Federal law, and the idea is the antith-
| esis of that which heretofore has con-
! trolled their activities.

war powers vested in him by the Constl-
| tuition. and those which have been or may

SECRET LOBBY
WOULD ABOLISH
SUNDAY SHOWS
COuncilmen Decline to Give
Names of Blue Law
Advocates.

An insistent lobby for the introduction
OF an ordinance prohibiting the operation
of any movie, vaudeville, burlesque or
legitimate theater or playhouse of any
other description on Sunday in the city
council meeting next Monday evening, is
being conducted by a group Of men and
women whose identity and connections
city cOuncilmen, who have been ap-
preached by them, declined to make pub
lie today.
Several councilmen said they have re-
ceived telephone calls and visits at their
homes from men and women who favor
passage Of such an ordinance. The eff
forts Of the lobby at present are devoted
entirely to getting some member of the
council to introduce the measure, which
non of them is anxious to do.
The meeting promises to be of unusual
interest. The amendments to the jitney
regulation ordinance which practically
would wipe out the powerful control of
the jitney business the city now holds
are expected to be reported out of COM
mittee and come to a vote. Behind the
scenes, a bitter struggle for votes on the
amendments is waged by the jitney driv-
ers on one side and the indianapolis
Street Railway Company on the other, it
is understood. The street railway COM
pany contends elimination of jitney COM
petition is necessary to successful street
car service.
Councilman Lloyd D. Claycombe prac-
tically has finished the draft of the new
boxing commission ordinance which
probably will be substituted for the
pending measure providing for a commits
sion with control over all forms OF ath-
letic contests to which admission is
charged. The new bill will provide for a
commission of three members, with power
to regulate wrestling and boxing only, 1t
is said.

impelled to submit to Congress a spe-
cial report sharply calling attention to
the critical situation which faced the
country.
"As said by Commissioner Aitchison,
Jan. 2, 1918. before this committee in
discussing the reasons which led to this
special report:
1.-The conclusion which we all reached
was that existing conditions were intol-
cradle and constituted a menace to the
public safety

Pennsylvania. system, had reached the
guage before the Interstate Commerce
Commission on March %, 1917, Just be-

1--WE realize that the condition Of the
railroads today presents menace to the
country, not alone to the owners, OF the
properties, but affecting directly the
international situation
CONDITIONS GROW WORSE
UNDER RAIL BOARD.
Upon our declaration OF war, April
G. 1917. the railroads in response to the
resolution Of the Council of National De-
Tense calling upon them to so organize
their business as to lead to the greatest
expedition in the movement Of freight,
organized on April IL, 1917, a special com
mittee on national defense, usually called
the railroad war board, composed =, OF OF
Kruttschnitt, Hale Holden, Samuel Rea
and Howard Elliott, which undertook to
secure cooperation between the various
railroad systems. Despite the activities
of this committee and its various efforts
at cooperation, the condition of the rail
roads grew steadily worse until there had
become an almost complete paralysis Of
transportation. The railroad labor board,
on Dec %, 1917, only five days prior to
the Presidents proclamation to take over
the roads and in response to a question
naire by the chairman Of the committee
on Interstate Commerce of the Senate,
submitted replies outlining what it had
accomplished during the more than eight
months of its existence, emphasizing the
things deemed necessary for successful
operation OF the railroads and the diff
culties with which they were faced
Among other obstacles which this bOarI
said was preventing greater transporta-
ton output was that the railroads have
not motive power enough and are find
ing 1t Increasingly difficult to keep their
Equipment, and particularly their loco
motives, in proper repair and efficient
condition on account Of the shortage OF
skilled labor. The selective draft and
the attractions offered by such rates of
pay IN munitiOn and Government plants
as most OF the roads are financially un-
able to meet has resulted in a depletion
of the shop forces Of the carriers, some
reporting q shortage in numbers of a.
much as 1914 per cent aD1 all reporting
much greater fall In efficiency due to
the necessity of recruiting with I'M
The board suggested legislation to
meet the emergency as follows:

and other reasons which 1t is not
necessary to state / can not concur In a
report to the Congress which apparently
acquiesces in a continuation of control
over the transportation situation by n
committee appointed by the carriers
themselves. The suggestions with refer
ence to the antitrust laws, the anti pool
ing provision Of section 8 Of the act, the
desirability Of Government loans for
capital purposes, and the regulation OF
security issues, undoubtedly have merit,
but in my judgment their enactment into
law will not make 1t possible for any

service which the present conditions de-
mand."

1T was apparent that the recommen-
dations Of tn emaJority Of the interstate
com merce commission as to the legisla-
ton needed in the event 1t was deter
mined that the railroads should be oper-
ated as a unit by the carriers themselves,
involved such inevitable delay in a sit

transportation system should be taken
over by the President as a war measure.
Accordingly. BY PROCLAMATION, the Presi-
