INDUSTRIES MAKE
BIG INCREASE IN
SPITE OF STRIKERS
Railroad Income Alone In
Drop AS Result of
Labor Trouble
United Press Leased Wire

WASHINGTON, Oct. 10. - Wide
spread increase of production of Amer
lean industries during August, the
critical month of rail and coal strikes
was reported in statement issued by
the department of commerce today.
"In almost every industry there
was not only an increase over the
production for the past month, - stated
the report, "but, in majority of
eases, the August production was the
highest in many months, end often the
best record since the depression at the
end of 1920. Moreover, this record
was accomplished in the most critical
month of the coal and railroad strikes.
A sharp drop in railroad income
was caused by the shopmen's strike, ac-
cording to figures made public today
by the Association of Railway Execu-
tives.
Reports filed with the Interstate
Commerce Commission show that the
income for August was but go percent
of the class one railroads tentative
valuation, the lowest return since May,
1921. August S net operating income
totalled $52,579,799.
The gross revenue taken in by the
railroads declined during August 6.3
percent over August las5 year. A state
mcnt issued by the executives today
laid this decrease at the door of the
coal and shop strikes and the cut in
freight rates which became effective in
July.
Complete reports ON the first eight
months of the present year show, the
executives said, that the railroads had
a net operating income of SAL 600
compared with $306,063,000 for the
same period year ago This year s
income represented return of 401
percent on the tentative valuation, an
increase of nearly two percent over the
same period in 1921.

United Press Leased Wire

NEW YORK, Oct. 10.-Billions OF
dollars of surplus investment money ii
the United States, prcsaging IN unpre
cedented business revival, were dis
closed today as the result of the gov
ernment' call for 34ycar loan of s
half billion dollars at AZ per cent
Over-subscription of the loan, asked
for refunding of part of the national
debt, by $1,000, 100000 10 g2,000,000, ,00C

IsadOre Back in America To
Start Soul Dancing
School for Kids
By EDWARD M. THIERRY

NEW YORK, Oct. l0.-Isadora Dun
can, high priestess of IA school of dane
ing all her own, is the first person who
has come out of Russia and nasn t
talked about one or all of these topics:
Bolshcvik politics; commercial treaties;
Red propaganda; paper money; Lenin ;
Trotzky; food
Miss Duncan, whose married name
is Mrs. Serge Ycssenin, though she
docsn I use il much, talked about these
subjects:
Art; the soul of the Russian people;
idiotic movies; her husband twhom
she calls by his last name, pronounced
E-sane); Ellis Island officials who keep
their hats on and talk through their
noses; Walt Whitman; Russia s intel
lectuai wealth; horrid persons who imi-
tate her dancing without understand
ing what it is all about.
Working 1t Three Ways
Wearing her famous rich red hair
and little else but u flowing ankle
length tunic of crimson, Miss Duncan
talked in three languages at once, and
nimbly did her own interpreting. Thus:
"Da!' she said to her husband, who
is Russian.
"Oui!" she said to her secretary,
who is French.
"Yes!' she said to her interviewer,
who understands English.
Fresh from Ellis Island, where the
immigration officials grilled her ON
her dancing and her interest in Boil
shevism (Which she denied), Miss Dun
can said the following things in rapid
sucecssion:
eyes, am II Conmunist-in spirit
Like Walt Whitman. Not politically
81 was in Russia to establish Il
children $ school of dancing. | didn 7
mix in Russian politics. | am inter
ested only in art. Art is greater than
governments.
81 want to start II dancing school
| in America BY music and the dance
want to train the children how tt
live. | don 7 want to train them fol
| the stage. | hate children on the stage
| though they would be better there
than in the gutter,
"Russia is wonderful. Its soul is
free. The youth of Russia has "a diff
ferent mind and soul from Russians OF
the old regime.
"My Yessenin (she waved towarc
her young flaxen-haired husband, q
| considerable number of years younger
than herself) is the first of the young

"America and Russia are the two

are worn out. America needs Russi,
and Russia needs America,
