PRAISES ALL MOVES
MADE TO stop CUT
IN PRICES, WAGES
tspecial to The Palladium,

CAMPBELLSTOWN, Ohio, Feb, "a.
for city businesses
and labor unions which resisted and
retarded price and wage deflations
through their organizations, depreca-
ton Of the present price war in the
agricultural machinery industry, and
praise of high freight rates in their
effect on eastern farming through re-
movaI of the west as a source of sup
ply. and bright prophecies for the fu-
ture of agriculture. were points OF the
talk by Charles Henry, of Hebron. be-
fore the first session of the annual
two-day farmers institute in the Chris
tian church here Friday.
"The postwar price level should
not be as low as before the war, the
speaker said, because it would make
payment of debts too difficult. To
that end, any influence tending to
keep the general level somewhat high
er than before the war is beneficial.
and unions and business organizations
are to be praised for helping in the
process 1t was the misfortune of the
farmer that he was not similarly Or
ganized.
ut is still not desirable, even from
the farmers viewpoint, that city in
comes should be sharply reduced, for
that will curtail the market for the
farmers produce. Farm machinery
price wars will mean great reductions
in labor wages, in all probability, and
| if they should go below the general
averages as compared with those re-
ceived in 1913, farming will feel the
effect
Rates Helped East.
High freight rates, disastrous to
the west, have been of an indirect
benefit to the eastern farmer, because
| they have taken whole sections out OF
production, and made still larger
| market for eastern products. Whole
sections in the west have been de-
populated, with thousands of farmers
and stock raisers taken out OF the
ranks of producers. In some places,
| banks have been forced to make as
| sessments on their capital stock, OF
| 100 to 105 per cent"
NJ. Henry predicted a still further
| continuance of the present increase
| in farm produce prices, OF Is to 2O
| points, from the December level OF
| ia percent of the 1918 price with a
| decrease of Is or 20 points in manu-
| factured products, which will bring all
prices on an equal level above the
! 1913 prices, and in the pre-war rela
/ tionship to each other.
| School cooperation with the com
munity was the subject of talk by
E. E. Mcclellan, superintendent of the
Campbellstown school He explained
the girls food club and boys pig club
work, the measures needed for com
pliance with the state requirements ir

ways in which the school could be O.

he passed the Swiss frontier, sold il
for so centimes. A Swiss so centime

GROWING DISBELIEF
IN STORY OF TAYLOR
Staying EXPRESSED

LOS ANGELES, Calf, Feb. "a
Growing disbelief in the story of the
murder of William Desmond Taylor.
film director. here Feb. 1. related in
Detroit within the last three days by
Harry NJ Fields in custody there, was
expressed early today by Los. Angeles
officials investigating the case.
They pointed out two changes that
Fields made in his original story. One
was the reduction of a 81 600 bill to Q
$100 bill in connection with his state
ment that he was paid 5000 for having
driven Chinese. white woman and
white man to the Taylor apartments.
The other was his changing his lc-
cation where he said the pistol with
which Taylor was shot could be found.
The officers said they found it at
neither place he named.
A bank teller was found here, how
ever, who told of man entering a
bank with a $1,000 bill and acting sus-
piciously about the time Taylor was
slain.
In addition. Thomas Green, deputy
United States attorney here was quot
ed as having stated a man he believed
to be Taylor had sought his aid a
year ago in stamping out the drug
| traffic.
Possible Proof.
The officers learned, also, that q
! Chinese named Wong Lee-the name
Fields said was borne by the Chinese
| in the alleged murder party--had left
Los Angeles Chinatown three days
ago, when it was first intimated that
| Fields might have important inform2
| tion concerning the case. They said
J however. they had nothing to connec'
! Wong Lee with the Taylor murder
and recalled Fields had said the Chi
nese in his party went east with him
The officers said they were unaDle
to learn anything of the white woman
and white man, whom Fields named
as Jennie Moore and Johnnie Clark
or any persons who had heard any
thing of them

LAckAWANNA'S INCOME
REDUCED BY EXPENSES
Net for October Reveals De.
cline From 1921.

The Deiaware. Lackawanna and West
ern Railroad reported net operating In
come for October amoSting to s7ss.762,
a decrease OF $714,2S7 as compared with
last year. indicating heavy expenses,

more for the repair OF equipment than
for any other item. Gross income for

cline OF s73,l40 from last October.

cline OF $7s6.03s.

the net operating income was s5,S5S,263.
off S5.4S0.s82 from the previous year.
Tho only surprise contained In the re-
port was the fact that gross revenues
declined in a month which was excep-
tional for the amount OF traffic offering.
That expenses would increase was in
dicated by the favorable statements re-
garding Lackawannas repair program.

SEEK CHANGE In ADJ
LAWS OF EXCHANGE
Brokers Declare Supervision
Of Publicity They Direct
Hampers Business.

Agitation in Wall Street concerning
the rigid laws with which the New York
Stock Exchange supervises advertising
done by its members has become 90
great that IL is expected concerted ac-
tion may be taken in an effort to relax
the regulations. Members of the Stock
Exchange are finding their business IN
being hampered and that they even are
losing business to non-nember houses
that are not bound by the Same strict
requirements.
So far as could be learned yesterday
this move to have the advertising regu-
iations amended has not yet been
brought officially to the attention OF the
Stock Exchange authorities. but 1t is
expected that some steps in this direction
soon will be taken. The rule to which
most objection is made is that which
compels every member to submit copies
of its advertising to the business conduct
committee prior to its publication. Mem
bers OF the exchange complain that this
rule Is working a great hardship in that
il often delays consummation of business
deals, with an attendant loss OF time and
money.
1t is expected that when the matter
is brought officially before the govern
ing committee some changes in the rules
will be made which will make them less
DCNcId al llsLdllteS Ol IfIOIlc-
tary losses through the operations OF
these rules are well known in the finan-
cial district.
In one case a member firm had made
plans to bring out a new issue of stock
on a certain date and had telegraphed
the offering advertisement all over the
country to be released as of that date
In the meantime copies OF the adver-
tising had been sent to the Stock Ex-
change. but because Of some delay in
reviewing thema the firm found itself
on the afternoon before the advertising
was to be released without the neces-
sary approval of the exchange.
Only rapid action by the exchange
authorities saved the firm from spend
ing large amount of money in notify
Ing all the papers in the country to
which the "ad' had been sent to with
hold publication.
Stock Exchange members also COM
slain that they are handicapped by nom
member houses that conduct educational
advertising campaigns which member
houses declare draw business away
from them. On several occasions au-
thorities OF the exchange have been ap-
preached on this matter In an unofficial
way. but it Is believed that when 1t is
brought to their attention officially some
action may result which will relieve n,
least a portion of the difficulty OF ex-
change members.

 The court came suspiciously near a grin.

Third IntelnatiOnale Proves to Be Event of Minor Importance

MOSCOW, Mar. 1.-The congress of the Far Eastern Peoples held here under the auspices of the Third In- ternatiOnal was regarded as of minor importance by all connected with it.
 Those attending it were for the most part, students, the important leaders of the. various countries stay ing at home and sending word that it was useless to attend q conference when Russia was returning to q bourgeois organization.
 There was a good deal Of loose talk about war and revolution in the Far East but not of a nature to convince the Russians present that it would materialiZe.
 Many of the delegates were picked up right in Moscow and one Chinese socialist of prominence refused to at tend. Officially there were IA dele gates, 52 of whom were Koreans, 16 Japanese, 42 Chinese. 22 Mongolians, a Javanese and 2 Kalmucks.
 In principle, the Third Information ale promised to help the national movements in the countries repre- sented, so that such movements

might later be diverted into Marxist labor movements. It IS understood by the Third Internationale that so far there is no real Communist move ment in China. Japan or Korea but nationalist agitation in the sense that the revolutionlsts object 10 existing governments.
 The second decision taken, also in principle, was that the Third Interna- tionale would help to prevent the de- velopment especially of American in fluence In China and in general pre- vent any European powers interfer- ing for capitalistic purpises there. But no money was promised to help revolutionary or nationalist agitation
 It was the impression gained by the Third Internationale that the Japanese Communist or socialist movements are taking the trend of those in England, with the governs ment making concessions when cblig- ed to do so.

 The district court of Twin Falls says h9 has but the wife is inclined to take issue with the court and has asked the supreme court to decide the case.
