Garment Recovery slow.

Henry Meckauer. vce-president of the
Bank of United States. in statement
issued yesterday, claimed that the sit
uation in the garment trades was un-
satisfactory and due. In large part, to
practices of garment manufacturers
themselves. The statement follows:
Notwithstanding that merchants gen.
orally endeavored to liquidate during
1921, I find that inventories of January
], 1922, are still too high and out of
proper proportion to the sales and CAPT.
tai invested. This is due mainly to the
fact that last falls business was a Bit
ter disappointment and fell even below
conservative expectations. In addition
TO this. merchants in the smaller cities.
and especially In the farming sections,
have found it difficult to meet their OBJ
legations at maturity. owing to lack of
sales. While it is undoubtedly true that
things are on the mend and the worst
IS over, the recovery is slower in COM
ing than was anticipated. So far as the
merchants of New York in the garment
trade are concerned. they have not yet
learned to make the sacrifice of self
denial. They are all spending too much
money for living expenses and are not
particular where II comes from. They
haven't the courage to curtail. 1t was
all too easy during the war years. Now
1t is again the survival Of the fittest."

STEEL MERGER OFF,
SAYS YOUNGSTOWN
Inland Company Charged With
Hating Big Threc-Cor-
nered Deal.

Special Dispatch 10 THE New York HERALD
YOUNGSTOWN. Ohio, Feb. 10.-Steel
men in this territory say that the merger
OF the Youngstown Sheet and Tube
Company, the Inland Steel Company of
Chicago and the Steel and Tube Com
pany of America has struck a snag. and
that there now appears little likelihood
of it's being communicated at least not this
year.
The failure is laid to the attitude of
the Inland Steel Company. regarding
property valuation and bonus" for its
position n the Chicsg go district.
In the event Of the merger failing, it
is said the Youngstown company will
install q pipe mill in the Chicago terri
tory to gain the advantage of freight
charges IN shipments to the West and
Southwest. where most OF the pipe for
oil production purposes is utilized now.
Stockholders OF the Youngstown Sheet
and Tube Company are expecting a def
inite statement on the merger at the
annual meeting Tuesday.

Old Stockade Site
With Historic Lore.
Soon to Disappear
Special to The Tribune

Special to The Tribune
Miles City, Nov. 23.-With the re-
cording of the deed and the modern
improvements now in progress, anoth-
err historic landmark will disappear
here in the use Of the site of the old
stockade, used nearly a half century
ago, for a new gas filling station. The
lots formerly owned by Messrs. Cor
don and Potter, located a block north
on Seventh street across from the
Elks home, are understood to have
been transferred for a consideration
approaching $4,000.
Older residents recall the time when
the site was partly occupied by the
stockade and where one night an In
dian. incarcerated for some major of
tense, was found dead the following
morning by having choked himself with
a string pulled from n of his moe
casins. A picture of the scene is con-
tanned in the famous Huffman collec-
ton.
: The total cost of the new improve
ments is estimated to be in the neigh
borhood of so, 900 when completed and
will advance the business district in
which it is located.

GRANGE IS AGAINST
SALES TAX; INCOME
LEVY GIVEN FAVOR
National Body Passes Reso.
lutions Calling Bulk Tax
Unfair.

Wichita, Kans.. Nov. 23.-Unani.
nous opposition to a sales tax in any
form, resolutions to oppose any fu,
ture attempt to rush such bill
through congress was voiced by the
National Grange Thursday. The bill
has been defeated once, partly through
the efforts of the Washington repre-
sentative of the grange, but it is re
garded by the grange as anything but
killed. Grange sentiment is that the
bill is unjust, in that it puts an unfair
burden on the people and let's off the
war profiteer, Such taxation is so
cially, financially and economically
unsound and indefensible," T. G. Alike
son. legislative representative of the
National Grange, told the body. The
grange also voted in favor of a nation
wide state income tax. Grange Off
of taxation would result if all states
would enact such a law.
Another resolution called for an
amendment of the income tax law pro-
viding for the taxation of stock diyi-
dends on the same basis as other divi-
dends.
Still another resolution called for
the prohibition of further issues Of tax
exempt securities with the provision
that so long as such securities are
permitted, no repeal be made Of the
tax exempt feature of the federal farm
loan act. Another resolution was for
reduction of taxation by reform in the
expenditure of public money and the
discontinuance of all government work
of a non-essential character.
