SOCIALISTS TO RUN
IN EVER DISTRICT
National Committee PIans
Congregational Campaign.

Socialist activity In the coming elec-
tions was started yesterday by an an
nouncement at the meeting of the
National Executive Committee in the
Rand School that candidates will be
entered in every Congressional district
.n the country. Overtures to other
minor parties are apparently being
sought, under the recent ruling at the
Cleveland National Convention that
coalition would be permitted in certain
cases.
Victor l.. Berger, George f. Rocwer.
Jr.. b. G.. Vladeck and Morris HillQuit
were among those at the meeting.
They announced a speakers bureau

kec; James III. Maurer. president of the
Pennsylvania State Federation OF
Labor: Meyer London. Algernon Lee,

Reserve system, desires now TO record
its Endorsement OF the administration of
the same by the Federal Reserve Board
and to protest against any unnecessary
change therein. The provision in the
present Federal Reserve act that two
members shall be experienced in bank
ing or finance" is essential. We believe
that the provision that In the election
of the other members due regard shall
be paid TO fair representation of the
commercial. Industrial and geographical
divisions" is sufficiently broad to pro-
vide for all other angles OF view on its
problems. and we therefore urge that no
sectional partisan or personal considera-
tions be permitted 10 have weight and
that no changes be made I'm the number
OF members of the board as now consti-
tuted.
National Banking Charters.
number OF national banks are
nearing the end OF the last renewal
of their charters possible under existing
law. The question OF the period of the
next extension. therefore. presses for
prompt determination. Numerous ma
tional banks have been granted the right
to do trust business and others will
secure that right. Many trusts cannot
be placed with them IL their charters
may expire by limitation before the
expiration OF the trust. Therefore. we
recommend he granting of charters to
national banks for an unlimited period,
subject only to revocation by the Gov
ernment for cause.
Labor.
We recognize the fundamental inn
portance of a just and fair settlement
OF the so called labor question. We be-
lieve In the right OF laboring men to
unionize for mutual protection and the
advancement OF their interests and for
securing justice and right, but we affirm
that in doing so they must not, by
arbitrary rules. limit production, nor
can they be permitted to interfere with
the rights of the non-union man nor OF
the employer
we, therefore, declare ourselves to be
unQualifiedly in favor of the principle
of the American plan and we hope
that. in the present coal strike the para
mount rights OF the public will be
recognized and that no compromise or
settlement will be made which does not
establish the right Of a man to work
whom he pleases and of the employer
for to employ whom he pleases.
Railroads.
Prerequisite to providing proper trans
portation facilities for the American
people at lower costs is the preserva-
tion OF railroad credit so that the roads
can be expanded and developed to
meet the constantly growing needs OF
agriculture. Industry and commerce.
We believe that the Esch- Cummings
act embodies q fundamental solution of
the railroad situation that is eminently
just both to the railroads and to the
public. 1t should be given a full and
fair trial. We believe that suggestions
for changes in it at this time are un-
wise. and that such changes would con-
stitute premature tampering with DO
tentially valuable legislation.
Tax Exemptions.
Believing that tax exemption is an
unmitigated evil that inevitably must
lead to disturbance, confusion and in

Inasmuch as after year the plan Of

Depreciation OF the mark makes Ger

Berlin. May 81.
The Breslau technical fair is display
ing machinery without the usual war
substitutes. The high cost of steel in
Germany has given an impetus to wood
construction and there are important ex-
hipits OF new uses for wood. Home
made houses containing little wood and
much stucco attract thousands who are
trying to eyade the high cost OF hous-
ing. The fair shows that the German
manufacturer Is paying more attention
TO finished wares.
British and French interests are buy
ing coal mines In the Upper SilesiAn
region. which the Poles are taking over
this month in fulfillment of the Genera
decision. The French are lending money
TO the Poles to organize and exploit
former German works, while the British
are more inclined to invest their money
in German undertakings. The British
now have the majority interest In the
Graf Donnermarks Works and the United
Konig and Laura mines. The British
also concluded negotiations recently with
the Germans TO buy a majority OF the
shares ~ the Bismarck and Kattowitz
mines The French still are spending
money Tor political purposes by support
Ing separatist movements in German
Upper Silesia.
Cost of Living Rises.
The cost o. livnr Germany for
April was thir.y-two times greater than
before The war. while the purchasing
power OF re rue outside of Germany
is only O hat II was
before the war; u ce of food
stuffs increased cent. over the
preceding month. Sugar speculation has
reached a point where it cannot be
bought in the retail markets. The Ger
man Government has takon counter
measures to reduce the price OF sugar
due to boarding and has removed the
embargo on imports, letting in cargoes
Of American sugar at Hamburg.
Three former German cable COM
panies, whose lines the Allies confis-
Gated, are now claiming decentralization
from the German Government. The
German, German-Atlantic and Eastern
European companies have united under
the Governments proposal. which car
ries with il q promise of partial in
Identification.
This combine proposes to lay a line
from Emden to Horta, in the Azores,
whence the Commercial Cable Company
would transfer the messages to New

The late spring has reduced the grain
crop In Germany. according to the re-
port of the Agricultural Bureau. The
Government Grain Bureau bought heav-
lily in March and announces that It will
have an adequate supply of grain until
the middle OF October
Foreign purchases are slowing down
owing to the depreciation in the mark.
Grain prices are sensitive and respond
di. ectly TO the fluctuation in the mark.
In the money market foreign currencies
rose somewhat. Subject to the ekepti-
cal attitude of German financial circles
toward the results of the Genoa confer
