PRODUCTION COSTS
In All Lines Vary in Indus
try, Declares South
ern Senator

Washington-T stock statement,
Find the cost Of production in this
country and abroad" was given a
black eye by Senator Jones, of New
Mexico, in debating the pending tariff
bill.
For years this statement has easily
rolled off the tongues of men who
affect an air Of wisdom as they de-
clare that tariff making is solely a
matter of finding the difference in
production costs between the United
States and various countries. The
statement is also used by glib
tongued efficiency bugs
Now comes Senator Jones with the
statement that 1T is difficult to as
certain the costs Of production in the
United States as to any one industry" ("
He said it was impossible to find
the cost of raising cattle, and that
"it is the same with every other com
modify"
"In all the vast industries of this
country there are but relatively few
items where the exact cost of pro-
duction can be ascertained," he said
What is the by-product of one in
dustry is the primary product of
another industry, and so on.
In the production of sugar, accord
ing to the tariff commission reports,
the cost varied from $50 a ton to 1855
ton. How can any man say what
the cost Of production of sugar is,
with these different factories varying
50 greatly as to their cost? So in
every other line Of industry"

FALLING TO PIECES
SHOP MEMS CLAIMS THAT RAILROAD EQUIP
MENT NEGLECTED, BECAUSE OF THE
STRIKE, is GOING TO RUIN
ARE UPHELD
Interstate Commerce Commission Chairman Admits If
The Present Conditions Continue Much Motive
Power Will Be Withdrawn From Service

Washington.-The country's rail
road equipment is falling to pieces
and will continue to get worse as the
strike continues, is the information
given the president by c. C. McChord,
chairman of the interstate commits
sion. The letter is written in eau
tious terms, but contains a warning
in every line of the menace to life
and property.
1t is stated that the commission
has observed with concern the pro-
gressive deterioration of motive power
upon certain Of the important car
riers.
"The effect of deferred repairs is
cumulative and becomes increasingly
felt as time goes on. In the contin-
uance of our enforcement of the law
we are taking steps and will be COM
PEELED to continue to proceed in a
manner which must bring about Sc
rious Withdrawals Of motive power
from service, it is stated.

COURT USURPATION
Backed By Vice President
Coolidge

San Francisco.-In an address be-
fore the American Bar Association
Vice President Coolidge presented the
stock arguments used by those who
want federal courts to retain their
usurped power over other branches
of the government
In answer to the proposal, indorsed
by labor, that congress have power to
make valid by re-enactment a law
declared unconstitutional by the SUI
preme court, the vice president said:
"Such a provision would make the
congress finally supreme In the last
analysis its power practically would
be unlimited. This would do away
with the great main principle of our
written constitution, which regards
the people as sovereign and the gov
ernment as their agent and would tend
to make the legislative body sovereign
and the people its subjects. 1t would,
to an extent, substitute for the will
of the people, definitely and perma-
nently expressed in their written con-
stitution, the changing and uncertain
will of the congress. That would rad
ically alter our form of government
and take from it its chief guarantee
of freedom"
The vice president did not explain
that the will of congress is not sub
stituted for the uncertain moods of
five supreme court judges, who are
responsible to no one. Neither did
the vice president show that if the
legislative body did attempt to make
the people its subjects, the people
would quickly retire these lawmakers
to private life, but they have no such
power in the cast of supreme court
justices.

TO CUT WAGES
In Australia "Can't-Strike"
Is ResOrted To
Compulsory Arbitration
Court To Be Used For
Employers Benefit

Sidney, New South Wales.-The
wage reducing plot to pauperize
Australian workers has been advanc-
ed by Premier Fuller, who says his
administration will ask the passage
of bill that will empower the com
pulsory arbitration court to fix wages
not on the basis of the cost of living,
but "at the rate that industry can
pay"
The Fuller proposal means that the
compulsory arbitration courts will be
openly used for the benefit of en-
ployers.
In calling upon workers to stop
their "insensate wrangling" and be
loyal to one another, the Australian
Worker says:
Before many months elapse wages
will be legally fixed in this country
at any low level which the captains
of industry declare to be essential in
the interests of dividends and profits.
"Up to the present a basic wage
has regulated the economic conditions
of the workers. That system is to
be swept away Employers of labor
will be asked what they can afford to
pay and the courts will then seek
to impose upon the workers the rates
the employers offer.
"A serious crisis looms ahead for
the unionists of Australia. There
can be no doubt that an organized
assault is going to be made upon
them through the industrial courts
and the standard of living abolished
as the factor which determines wages.
"The exploiting class is fashionlng
a new weapon to be used against
them. The courts are to be trans
formed into agencies for the degra-
dation of labor. The sweater is
about to be invested with the sane
ton of the law"

ORATORY DELUGE IN
SENATE ON TREATY
Pressure SO Great that Afternoon and
Evening Sessions Were
Held

Washington, Mar. 23.-Eight hours
of oratory, divided about equally be-
tween praise and condemnation OF
the four.power treaty went into the
Senate records yesterday as the rati-
fication debate approached its con-
clus.on.
SO great was the crush Of Senators
who wanted to get their views record
ed before the hour for voting arrives
on Friday that an all-afternoon ses'
sion was not sufficient 10 accommo-
date them For the first time since
the debate. began the Senate recessed
Tor dinner and met again in the even
ing to let the discussion wear itself
out
On the side Of the treaty propo-
nents Senator Pomerene OF Ohio, a
Democratic member of the Fore gn
Relations Committee, took up the
fight for ratification with speech
telling his party colleagues they could
not consistently oppose the four
power pact II they had honestly
favored the League OF Nations. He
characterized the treaty as a pocket
edition of the celebrated article 10
Of the League covenant, and said that
although he would have preferred the
League or the "associat on of ma
tions" advocated by President Hard.
ing, it would be inexcusabe G to re.
ject the regional understanding now
offered.
For the opposition the days de.
bate was opened by Senator La Fol.
lette, Republican, Wisconsin, who de
nouneed the treaty as a British.Jap-
anese Alliance into another alliance

imperialistic policies in the Pacific
and Far East In any conference

ests.
Senator Shortridge, Republican,
California, and Senator Townsend
Republican, Michigan, also spoke In
.ayop of ratification at the afternoon
session, the former arguing that the
provision excluding domestic issues
from the scope of the treaty consti
tu;ed an admission by Japan of the
right of the United States to handl

lem in its own way At the evening
session Senators Walsh, Democrat

sinu

R@ta and March 23.--An accident to
t4e water piping system OF the city
about five clock yesterday morning
eaured general uneasiness through
c.. Rutland and necessitated the
shutting down Of several industrial
plants until the cause OF the low pres
sure and stoppage OF water in many
residences was definitely discovered.
few hours later, TO be a break IN
the l2inch main just east of the
corner OF West Street and Merchants
Row on West street Although it
wi be necessary to tear up a part
Of the newly laid concrete.eement
road on West street to repair the
damage, little inconvenience will be
felt IN tle city as result OF the leak,
according to superintendent OF Water
Works Francis Tracy.
Until the valve could be closed
above the .eak, the escaping water
poured into the sewer, the volume OF
water thus escaping being great
enough to cause low pressure every.
where n the city and to completely
shut off water from the houses in
certain sections. After the valve
was closed, the pressure went back
TO normal and frantic housewives
who had been deprived of water
ceased telephoning the water de.
partment The closing of the valve
cuts off one hydrant from service,
but there are two other hydrants
near enough to the one now out o.
use so that the fire department will
not be handicapped in case of fire.

UNITED STATES DEMANDS
PAYMENT OF ARMY COSTS
Can See No Reason for Failure Of Al.
lied Government to Recognize
Justice Of It's Claim.

Washington, March 23.--The Ameri
can army of occupation was sent in
to Germany and was continued there
upon the basis OF the right OF the
United States TO be paid its actual
cost upon an equal footing with the
allies and this government "is uu.
able to conclude that the justice OF
its claim is not fully recognized" ac-
cord ng to identical communications
delivered yesterday by American dip.
lomatic representatives to the govern
ments of Begun, Great Britain,
France, Italy and Japan.
The notes we're delivered under in
structions from Secretary Hughes OF
the department of state, and were oc-
casioned by recent in .ormation from
American observers in Europe that
the allied governments apparently
contemplated arrangements which
would ignore American army costs
altogether, although estimate both
for army costs and reparations were
being made on the basis of the en-.
tire capacity of the German govern.
ment to pay The amount of the
claims OF the United States for its
army costs, the notes declared, was
understood to be free from any sub.
stantial dispute, hut II was deemed to
be appropriate, 'in view of recent
developments, to acqua,nt the allied
governments with the repeatedly re
iterated statement that the govern
ment o. the United States was ex
pect.ng full payment OF the costs OF
It's army in the Rhineland.
Basis for the American claim, the
notes pointed out was found in the
larmistice agreement, to which thC
United States was signatory, and
which provided for military occupa
tion Of Germany by the allied ant
American forces jointly. That agree
ment, the notes recited, expressly
provided that the upkeep OF the
troops of occupation in the Rhine dis
tricts should be charged to the Ger
man government, and 1t was express
ed as the view OF the American gov
ernment that the armistice agree
ment had the c ear import" that the
powers associated in that Joint en-
terprise SHOULD stand upon an equa
Footing as to the payment of all thC
actual costs Of their armies of oc
Icupation."
Priority Of payments for the tota
costs Of all armies o. occupation wa
imposed by the treaty of Versailles
the notes set forth. and since th,
right of the United States to shar,
in that priority was mot expressl,
conditioned upon ratification of tn
treaty by the United States, failur,
to ratify should not be construed a
affecting in any way American
rights, In that connection the note
pointed out that Germany has eS
pl'cit Y consented to the priority q
payment of the cost OF the American
army of occupation, notwithstandln
the fact that the treaty of Versatile
has not been ratified by the Unite
States" and that hence ANY tecl
nical objection" to the discharge q
the just claim of the United State
would necessarily rest solely upon tn
refusal of the allied powers then
selves to permit the discharge OF a
adm ttedly equitable claim" and
! was insisted that the rights OF Anne
Z lea were free from any technical oil
lection.
