was pursued over the objection of the
Schwab counsel
In response to many questions Mr..
Schwab replied ~ don't remember
that's too long ago." or, concerning
selling methods. "You will have to ask
our sales agent"
Mr.. Schwab said it was the practice
to form pools as far back as 1900 to
obtain fair prices.
Were pools always successful in fix-
ing prices?" he was asked.
"Not always" he replied.
When the commissions attorney
asked about "plate association" the
witness said:
LET me remind you that there is no
such thing as the plate association.
There were many temporary associa-
tions at various times in the plate and
other branches of the industry"
II mean the one you originated" it
was explained.
II was the originator of most of
them" Mr.. Schwab replied.
Mr.. Schwab was on the stand only
about an hour and then the commits

Repayment OF

$500, 900 Borrowed to Make
Up Education Deficit Is
Yet i'm Arrears, Borough
Presidents Are Warned

Comptroller Craig read lecture to
the four Borough Presidents at the
meeting Of the Board Of Estimate yes
terday, charging them with failure to
make good their promises to reimburse
monies to the amount Of 100000 which
had been taken from the funds of the
charity institutions to fill out the quota
required by the Board of Education.
Of the s1,300.000 taken from the char
ity funds, the various pension funds
and department accruals for educa-
tional purposes all but 100000 had
been made up, the Comptroller said,
but that amount the Borough Presi-
dents had promised to supply from
their departments.
I'VE would like to have the time for
payment extended another week." one
of the Borough Presidents pleaded.
'You have been kidding along from
month to month and the limit has been
reached" said the Comptroller. "The
year 1922 is near its close and this ac-
count has to be settled. You have
pledged funds and you have failed to
make good"
"1f we arc given a weeks time in
which to find the money we'll make

to lay off hundreds of per diem en-
ployees"
81 don't like the idea of your having
to lay off men," said Mr.. Craig. "but
cannot be held responsible for the way
you handle Your funds"
The borough presidents chorused that
they would do their best to get the
| money.
That's been the cry all along" de.
clared the Comptroller. "We have
reached the point where cash counts
and conversation ceases to be currency

the Brotherhood of Locomotive En-
gireers.
The conferences will be attended by
Warren S. Stone. grand chief of the

men and Enginemen, and the Washing

Rockefeller Raises Rent
On Hygiene Laboratory

officials of the State Reforma-
tory for Women in Bedford, N. Y,
announced yesterday that John
d. Rockefeller had raised the rent
the state pays for use of his social
hygiene laboratory adjoining the
institution. The increase in rent,
however, was at the suggestion of
a member of the board Of mana
gers of the reformatory.
The board wants the state to
buy the plant from Mr.. Rookie
feller and decided that there was
no great incentive for such action
while the rent was so moderate.
Accordingly, Mr.. Rockefeller has
raised the rent from 81 year to
SIS a year.

Harding Confers
With Cunni1ls ON
R all Legislation
Wage Scale, Road Consolida-
ton and Penalties for Dis
obeying Labor Board Ia
ken Up in 2-Holsr Session

From The Triorne's Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, Nov. 17.--President
Harding conferred for more than two
hours this evening with Senator Cum
Minis, chairman Of the Senate Interstate
Commerce Committee, over the ques-
tion of needed railroad legislation and
the ecommendations on this subject
which he should make to Congress.
Whether the President will treat the
railroad question in the message to
the extra session next week or in the
annual message in December is not yet
announced. Senator Cummins, who was
with the President from before 8
o'clock until Z, went over the field of
legislation on transportation which he
believed should be enacted. He did
not, however, complete cons liberation
Of the subject, and he and the Presi-
dent are to go over it in one or more
lengthy conferences.
Senator Cummins is advocating that
the law be amended to provide for a
living wage for railroad employees.
He is also urging that provision be
made for the compulsory consolida-
tion of roads into a limited number
Of systems.
Another important recommendation
by Senator Cummins is for the pooling
Of cars and equipment. He would have
all the cars of the roads owned by a
single company under control of the
Interstate Commerce Commission. He
asserts that $200,0o0,O00 year in
operation of the roads can thus be
saved, and says that the cost Of trans
portation must in this and other ways
be cheapened in order that rates may
be lowered.
Legislation to penalize the roads for
disobeying the Railroad Labor Bo%rd
and anti-strike legislation as to the
employees is another proposition which
Senator Cummins is urging, The re-
organization of the Railroad Labor
Board, its removal to Washington and
its uniting with the Interstate Com
merce Commission are under discussion
also.
Senator Cummins said on leaving the
White House that he could not say
what recommendations the President
would make to Congress. He added
that he would confer with the Presi-
dent further. He said he was doubt
full, however, whether any railroad
legislation could be brought about this
winter, In view of other subjects be-

From Chief Engineer George Kit

so large and comprehensive that we
have to take one step at time. For
our part Chief Engineer Kittredge is
on the committee of engineers to re-
port on the general scheme. This
company is taking the necessary valua-
tions of realty looking to the carrying
out of the general plan as far as It
affects the New York Central interests,
and we have much data with reference
to costs"
w men GoVernor-elect Smith was
asked to elaborate his statement con-
cerning non-co-o operation from the r.il-
roads he said that Chairman Outer
bridge ofthe Port Authority was the
one to discuss the subject, inasmuch as
MIR. Outerbridge is chairman and that

the subject from q somewhat different
angle,

than the statement attributed to
Pres ident Harding that sentiment on
nrohibition enforcement has shifted.
This, OF course, can be interpreted in
various ways. take it to mean that
the President recognizes that the gem
eral public is disgusted with the Vol
stead type of bone-dry prohibition,
which has proved to be an expensive
and dangerous farce.
On the question of enforcement,
sentiment has not changed. Decent,
responsible citizens always have and
always will support our country's laws
even though, as in the case of the Vol
stead law, they know them to be fool
iahly conceived aud devastatingly ruin
Gus in their effects. Conversely,
hooks Of the bootlegging type and
people of easy morals have in the past
and will continue in the future to vio-
late laws when they have the oppor-
turity and the desire to do so. Boot
legeers are the strongest supporters
OF the Volstead law, which enriches
them at the expense of the general
public"
