PROSPERITY OF
BIGINDUSTRIES
Claim Made Pleas for Wage
Cuts by Corporations
Unjust.
SOME COMPANIES LOSE

WASHINGTON, March "A large por-
ton Of the Nations industries have con-
eluded a prosperous year and pleas for
wage cuts are unjust, an official review
Of big corporation earnings compiled by
the American Federation Of Labor stated
today.
The survey charges that
Railroad earnings increased in 1921
over 1920.
Annual profits in retail stores and
railroad equipments were enormous.
STEEL COMPANIES
SHOW BIG EARNINGS.
Several steel companies showed huge
earnings.
Many big corporations declared star
Ting dividends and made big increases
in the working capital
This does not represent a picture Of
the entire industrial field" the survey
adds. MANY companies lost money
during the last year, but a great many
hive reaped fabulous profits.
THE plea for wage reductions Is base
less"
The survey contends the Delaware.
Lackawanna & Western Railroad Of
ficials reported the best year in its
history. Industries furnishing equipment
to the railroads made unusual profits,
Baldwin Locomtive earning 5000, 900, net
for common stock of S29s1 a share.
SAME OF LARGE
DIVIDEND PAYERS.
Other large earnings charged are:
The United Drug Company reported
earnings OF S120. 100000 from American
sources. The Kresge Company declared
a 81 per cent stock dividend. The Wool
worth Company retained 1900, 600 for
surplus after all charges and cash divi-
dends, increasing its working capital S10,-
10000.
The survey quotes Wall street author
tiles for proof that tobacco manufae-
turers had a prosperous year, Associated
Dry Goods organizations reported a ban
ner year, United Fruit Company earn
ings picked up 10 per cent over the pre-
viOus years, Corn Products earnings bet
ter than a year ago" Alleged official
statements OF the companies were cited.

pired. He said Mr.. Armitage and he
were discussing things"
1t is said, before the conference, the
mayor had made up his mind that the
asphalt company which Mr.. Armitage
represents should not be favored above
any other concern. The mayor said,
after the conference Mr.. Elliott had shown
him a piece of pavement where emulsified
asphalt was used and he thought 1t was
good material He repeated his assertion
that he was going to see that emulsitied
and Kentucky rock asphalt, both Of
which are said to be far cheaper than
Trinidad, have their chance on the city's
streets.
Indications Mr.. Freeman and DR..
Spencer do not intend to be quite so strict
in their adherence to the no concrete"
rule as was at first supposed, came when
upon the recommendation Of the engi-
neer they adopted a preliminary order
for the paving Of the first alley east OF
Central avenue from Forty Second to
Forty Fourth streets with two-course
concrete
The board went contrary to the engl-
neer's recommendation for the award or
a contract for the paving with wooden
block Of New Jersey street from Viz
ginia avenue to South street to j. W. *
W. c. Martin upon their bid of $3.50 per
llneal foot. Both Mr.. Freeman and Dr.
Spencer said they thought this was too
high. The engineer said he doubted K
lower bids could be obtained. but had
no objection II the board wished to re-
advertise. The board ordered re-adver-
tisement. Eight contracts for sidewalk
and street grading projects were award
ed strictly in accord with the engineers
Although a contract had been prepared
giving George 7. Garrlott the job of
grading and curbing Fiftieth street from
Park avenue to Broadway, in accordance
with the boards award to him on
Wednesday, the instrument was not
signed. The Daily Times pointed out
Schwert Brothers bid Oh this improve
meut was S2S41 less than that OF Gar
riott The board members said they
would not sign the contract until they
Investigated the bids further.
The engineer was ordered to prepare
plans for the elevation of the Belt Rail-
road across Tenth street.

Don't Let
That Cold Turn
Into "Flu''
Rub on Good % MusteroLeN I

That cold may turn into Flu"
Grippe or, even worse, Pneumonia,
unless you take care of it at once.
Rub good old Musterole on the con-
gested parts and see now quickly it
brings relief.
Colds are merely congestion. Mus
terole, made from pure oil Of mus
tard, camphor, menthol and other
simple ingredients, is counter-ir-
ritant which restores circulation
promptly and helps break up the
cold.
AS effective as the messy old mus
tard plaster, it does the work with
out the mustard plaster's sting and
blister.
During the Flu" epidemic few
years ago Musterole was used in our
training camps. The Y. NJ. c. A.
War Board sent thousands of jars to
France Tor our soldiers overseas.
Doctors have been recommending
it to their patients for years for colds,
aches and pains.
Just rub it on with your finger tips.
You will feel warm Jingle as it en-
ters the pores, then a cooling sensa-
ion that brings welcome relief.
Your druggist has MusterOle; 35c
and Csc, in jars and tubes; hospital
size, $500.

WILLCALL HALT
ON INVESTINGN
FOREIGN BONDS
Floating European Stocks in
American Markets OBJ
iectionabIe.

WASHINGTON, March 4.--The Ameri-
can Government has decided to put its
foot down on the steadily growing prac-
titce of some European countries raiding
the American investment market through
the fotation of low priced bond issues.
The Administration believes that this
practice has grown to the extent where
it is taking huge sums out of the coun-
try which properly should be used for
the upbuilding Of America industrially.
1t believes also that the Practice is det-
rlmental to European countries them
selyes-by postponing the day when they
will have to stop borrowing money, and
balance their budgets and tax according
to their needs.
This was the explanation forthcoming
today in official quarters for the signif-
cant and carefully wOrded statement is
sued by the State Department again re-
questing American banking houses to
consult with Washington before under
taking foreign obligations.
While officials were careful to explain
publicly that the action was mot aimed
at anybody" 1t is an open secret in
Washington that among the chief Of
tenders are various French cities, which
have foated municipal bonds through
the American markets in great quantities.
This has been looked upon with dis
favor by high Government officials, not
alone because it took money away from
American industry, but principally be-
cause they believe the practice is merely
applying a soothing pOultice to q ma
lignant cancer. The cancer is Frances
apparent unwillingness to make her rev.
enue equal her expenses.
No laws exist at present under which
the Government can restrain the bank
ing interests of America from floating
these issues, which mean fat commissions
for them. 1t is a question, however, Off
cials said today, whether some legisla-
ton along this line would not be neces-
sary.

MONROE AUTOS
TO BE MADE BY
NEW COMPANY
Organization to Handle Cars
on 'FactOry-tO-Owner'
Plan.
SMALL SALES MANAGER

The Monroe Automobile Company, or
ganized to take over the manufacture OF
the Monroe cars, formerly done by the
William Small Company, will file articles
Of incorporation In a few days. William
Small viii be connected with the new
company In charge of saes and directors
will be men prominent in the business
and financial life of Indianapolis, the
organizers assert.
One of the most revolutionary steps to
be taken by the new organization IS the
plan of selling from factory to owner.
Distributors and deaers will be elimi'
mated from the sales scheme thereby, ac-
cording to Mr.. Small, getting lid of much
expense. AS a substitute for this the
new company plans to develop every
where a system Of service stations which
will give service to Monroe cars and
which will act as selling stimulus. A
large force Of statesmen will be main
tanned. The State OF Indiana Is to be
organized first in this scheme of using
service stations everywhere as selling
agents.
SERVICE STATIONS
MARKETING AID.
"Proprietors of these service stations
will not only handle service on Monroe
cars at a minimum of cost, but will
assist the manufacturers of Monroe cars
In marketing the product at a profit to
the new institution" said Mr.. Small.
1--WE plan, first of all, to inaugurate this
new sales plan In Indiana. Perfected
here. we intend to develop it in the other
States. We have come to the conclusion
that this plan Of sales is the most
economical in the automobile business.
1t gets the car in the hands Of the user
at the least possible cost, with the
maximum OF profit to the factory"
Arrangements have been made to show
the Monroe at three places during Auto
mobile Show week-at the Auto Show, at
the Playground, at the retail branch,
Capitol avenue and North street, and in
the lobby Of the English Hotel At each
place representatives Of the Monroe Auto
mobile Company will be ready to meet
service men and prospective owners to
discuss further the details Of this selling
plan.
PRICE UNDER NEW
SELLING PLAN 1878.
The new institution, according to Mr..
Small will get diligently to work imme-
diately in the development Of sales work
Material TO rthe manufacture Of severai
hundred cars in on hand. This material
will be put into automobiles as soon as
practical and will be marketed under the
announced sales plan.
Another announcement made by Mr..
Small OF great interest to automobile
trade the reduction in price from 81, 29J
the late price Of the Monroe, to $50, re-
duction Of $500 car. The new price il
in line with the policy of the new
company in the lowering of costs both IN
manufacturing 0nd selling.
No announcement is made. as yet II
engineering plans for the Monroe car,
though II is said that improvements aud
slight engineering changes will be q
part of the new institutions program.

LLOYD GEORGE
HASCOURAGETO
CONFESS ERROR
BOrah Holds Blockade of Rus.
STA After Armistice Great
Wrong.
RAPS VERSAILLES PACT

BY SENATOR WILLIAM E. BoRAH.
| Copyright, 1922, by International News
Seryice.)
WASHINGTON, March 4.-Lloyd
George. according to the news dispatches
is again in peril. No one will be sur
prised to see him escape unscathe6 and
triumphant. In any event, whether he
succeeds in this particular instance, or
fails, his career has been one of the
most eventful in all the history Of his
country, a country blessed with a multi
tude Of great names.
What is the secret Of his power? His
genius consists Of his willingness to ad
NIT his mistakes-after all. rare genius.
He has the courage to change his pro-
gram when manifestly in error.
He has seen the fearful thunder Of the
Versailles treaty. He understands it is
this which Is now holding Europe in
economic. chaos and demoralizing the
whole continent. He therefore wants q
change or a revision of the treaty.
"RECOGNJgEs TREATMENT
OF RUSSI.A CRIME"
He also recognizes the mistake, II not
the crime, of the allied and associated
powers in their treatment of Russia. He
now understands that the blockade Of
Russia after the armistlce constituted
one Of the wrongs of history and worked
a detriment unparalleled to Europe and
indirectly to the whole world.
He undoubtedly believes that the time
has come to recognize the present gov
eminent Of Russia. to bring Russia back
into the family Of nations, to open up
trade and business with Russia and thus
take the second most important step to-
ward the sterilization and rehabilita-
+ Of I'uFnnR-o will
the world cannot recover and without
the bonuses and tariffs and subsidies
will not bring prosperity even to the
United States.
Lloyd George, in other words, has tho
capacity to realize when he has been
run over by events and the courage to
admit it and arrange future programs
In acc dance with such experiences.
SAYS ALLIED ACTION
SHORT
The actions of the allied nations to-
ward Russia Is almost incredible. 1t
is based upon a narrow, bigoted, short
sighted policy which In different ways
has brought on almost as much misery
to the human family as the war Itself
/ We have appropriated milAons to feed
the Russian people and yet our action IS
helping TO retard immeasureably the ca
pacity Of the Russian people to feed
themselves. We conuIved at the program
which was to prevent her recovery after
the war and we stiu are engaged in the
same policy. our own people are paying
for It, not only in the taxes which are
assessed to take care Of the millions, but
they are paying for it In the retardation
OF the recovery Of Europe and thereby in
directly Of our own country.
There is no such thing as pence, either
physically or mentally or spiritually, in
Europe with 10000 900 people outlawed
and an entire continent harassed and
tormented as that continent Is being har-
assed and tormented by the Versailles
treaty.

BETTER THAN CALOMEIe
Thousands Have Discovered
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets
are a Harmless Substitute

Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets-the SUBJ
stitute for calomel-are a mild but sure
laxative, and their effect on the liver Is
almost instantaneous. These little olive
colOred tablets are the result of DIR.
Edwards determination not to treat liver
and bowel complaints with calomel.
The pleasant little tablets do the good
that calomel does, but have no bad after
effects. They don't injure the teeth like
strong liquids or calomel. They take
hold Of the trouble and quickly correct it.
Why cure the liver at the expense of the
teeth? CalomeI sometimes plays havoc
with the gums. So do strong liquids 1t
is best not to take calomel. Let DR..
Edwards Olive Tablets take its place.
