crissinger AggressiveIy Opposed

Secretary Mellon and Mr. Crissinger
reiterated to the committee their op-
position to the adjusted certificate
loan plan, but Governor Harding de-
clined to comment on the advisability of
bonus legislation at this time, other
than to say that. in his Judgment. the
bank loan plan would help the bene-
ficiary, but probably not the banks.
There is difference of opinion be-
tween the treasury secretary and the
comptroller of the currency as to ad-
vising banks not to make advances to
former service men on the certificates.
Mr.. Mellon said the treasury would not
feel called upon to give such advice,
while Mr. Crissinger reiterated that
il national banks asked his opinion he
would advise against loans on such
security.

Both Sides Want Showdown

1t has been generally agreed by both
sides that the two weeks remaining be-
fore the present two-year agreement
expires is too short time to work out
new contract in view of conditions
existing in the industry. While no of
fetal of the union would discuss the
probable length of the negotiations. it
was believed in some quarters that
neither side would show disposition
to speed up negotiations. as it is con-
sidered good policy to wait and take
advantage of developments in the soft
coal fields.

Exercise

In these days of all kinds of
"exercise" and athletic stunts,
sometimes we feel that exercis-
ing good common sense in BUY
ING would be fine exercise, too:
1t is not always exercising good
judgment to shop around to see
Just how LITTLE price you
can buy = sW suit GgrcrS for, because use
putting in Of an EXTRA five, or
or ten, will save the additional
purchase of an entire new SUIT.
What we mean is, that when
you buy clothes, not only select
good wearing cloth, but also see
that you select-good workman
ship,-good hnings,-good tit
and good style-EVERfIHlNG
good.
:Hargrove'' Virgin wool clothes
are Just such clothes-EVERY-
THING good.
A good auto, or good horse,
or anything else worth while,
cannot be bought at as low a
price as inferior articles. and
GOOD CLOTHES are no excep-
ton to that rule. Rest assured.
however. when you come HERE
YOU get REAL VALuES-the

how did the present dry laws get through

Congress?
That is one riddle. A greater ono con.
fronts the enforcement officials, who are
saying In Washington that larger quarters,
a separate Federal department and greater
appropriations will be necessary to dry en-.
forcement. Such facilities will certainly be
required to stop or even effectively check
the sale and importation Of red liquor.
Meanwhile the whole question Of prohibi.
tion enforcement has shifted to new and
dangerous ground. In its newer and more
troublesome form It does not grow out OF
tho onenses Of bootleggers, large or small.
who smuggle whisky into the country or
peddle 1t about. Unquestionably the most
serious factor in the general situation Is the
privately operated still.
1t is now to be found everywhere. II is
in innumerable homes. 1t is operating to
turn out great quantities of moonshine which
are being stored in thousands OF secret
places for consumption or secret distribu-
tion in the future. Some investigators es.
innate that the private stills are now making
more so called whisky than the distilleries
made in the pre- -Volstead days. Unless en-
forcemcnt officers are given the right to raid
private dwellings and other buildings with
out notice or warrants they will continue to
be at a great loss in dealing with moon
sinners. Yet that right Is one that will not
be granted them until the Constitution is
further amended. and until Congress Is
made up wholly Of Jealous drys.
This new aspect of the dry problem is
causing n great deal Of worry among all
people who happen to be sincerely Inter-
ested in the prohibition theory. But en-
forcement officers say little about It. What
can they say?

A LABOR TREATY

VHHE treaty negotiated in Chicago between
i the railroad and the coal mining unions
might have been drafted by men who svrn.
pathized with the United States Senator's in
their opposition to entanglng alliances.
1t binds neither group of union workers
TO any affirmative action. The second ar.
ticle OF the agreement, which Is the vital
one, provides that when ii becomes an.
parent that any one or group of the asso-
ciated organizations is made the victim OF
unwsrra nted attacks, or its integrity is jeop-
ardized," the representatives of all the as-
sociated organizations must assemble to
consider the situation and to devise ways
and means to meet the emergency What
ever conclusions are reached must be SUBJ
mitted for ratification to each Of the orr
ganizations involved. The treaty itself is
not to be binding until it is ratified by the
di6erent organizations acting independently.
Y il is announced that the railroad unions
will give their moral support" to the coal
miners unions in their approaching dis
pute with their employers. but that there
wall be no sympathetic strike.
10 tar as appears, the Chicago confer.
enes has not changed the labor situation at
saQ. The negotiating unions have always
be1n In sympathy with one another. They

WHAT is A FAIR RENT?

THE New York State courts and the Fed
l. eral District Court in New York are
now in agreement on the fair rental value
Of real estate. In cases growing out OF the
rent fixing laws they have decided that the
landlord is entitled to 10 per cent return on
the value Of his property. The Federal
court puts it at 10 per cent and the state
court puts it Mt per cent net after taxes
and fixed charges are paid. BY liked
charges the court means the cost OF main
tnining an apartment house, including heat
ing and janitor service.
This has been the theoretical return which
real estate men have for years insisted
should be earned by rental property If it is
to be profitable Investment. 1t has been
exceeded in the cheaper forms Of property,
but It has seldom been equaled In residence
property worth above $4,000.
Conditions for the last three or four years
have been exceptional, for 10, 20 and even
80 per cent Of the normal value OF houses
have baen collected in rent II was this
cxorbitant charge which led the New York
Legislature 10 pass its Rent Laws.
Tenants in this State however, have no
redress. They have been compelled to SUBJ
nit to extorti0nate charges. Private houses
of rental value Of $1,000 have been turned
into apartments for which $1,000 or more
have been collected. And the rent OF private
houses in many cases has been doubled.
When building IS resumed on large scale
the rents will have TO come down TO more
reasonable figure.

THE TRANSIT FIGHT

UyHD fight for control OF the Y. Il. t.
X Company will continue until the annual
meeting of the stockholders on March 10.
The supporters of Mr.. Mitten among the
shareholders have give,. him their proxies.
The opponents Of Mr.. Mtten, who are seek
ing to curtail his power and reverse his
policies, are working night aud day to
secure proxies enough to give to them the
votes Of majority of the 100000 shares.
The closing Of the transfer books this
week makes it difficult for either side to
1ncrease holdings by purchase, although it
does not make it impossible. Contracts OF
purchase can still be made on condition that
any proxy that may have been given be
kescinded and new proxies issued. Pressure
may be brought to bear upon some share
holders who have given their proxies to the
Mitten management to induce them to
issue new proxies to the Sullivan Mont
somery faction in the Board of Trustees.
The protection of the interests of the
public is involved in the success uf the
Mitten management Mr.. Nitten has done
with the company what experts thought was
impossible. He has brought about such
hearty cooperation between the men and
the management as to reduce the cost of
operation and to increase, the income. He
has paid dividends on its stock and he has
announced that he can do it again this year
X he Is supported by the men.
But he Is offering to the men bonus
contingent on their earning it. Such a use
Of money is abhorrent to the real interests
who are opposing Mr.. Mitten. They Sc
eretly say that he is paying too high wages
now and that there are men enough out of
employment 10 man all the cars at lower
wages than are now paid. II their plans
are carried out. all that Mr.. Mtten has
apent eleven years in building up will be
torn down and labor disputes will begin at
once and the car service will suffer and the
people will be inconvenienced.
The real objection to Mr.. Mitten is that
he has devised an enlightened plan for taking
the employees into partnership and cnlsting
their interest in the profitable operation OF
the lines. This sort of thing is repugnant
to the old school of corporation managers.

them in the hands of their enemies for en-

THE CART BEFORE THE HORSE

1OhN BARRETT. who was commissioner
q general for foreign affairs for the ST
Louis Fair. has ndorsed the view fre-
quently expressed in this city that the
selection Of director general for the pro-
posed fair in 1926 should precede almost
everything else
He remarks that we seem to be putting
the cart before the horse in selecting a site
before We have done anything else Of i'm
portance. The usual procedure, according
TO him, Is to form an organization, then to
secure director general and then to select
the site with the advice of the director gen.
eral. And when these things have been
done the plan for the fair has been made and
the campaign for money started.
The proper thing to do has been appar-
ent for months. But for some unexplained
reason 1t has not been done.
