RAILROAD SITUATION

WASHINGTON, June 30.-An in
vestigation to determine to what de-
gree and under what circumstances
railroads have made freight rates
which involve transportation of COM
modities over long distances at less
charge than is made on similar ship
ments over the same lines for shorter
distances was instituted today by the
Interstate Commerce Commission.
The commissions action is in COM
pliance with a resolution of the Sem
ate passed in March, which requires
railroads to report as to such rates.
Rates which result in the applica-
ton of a charge greater for short
hauls than for long hauls-over the
same line and in the same direction
are declared unlawful by the
fourth section of the Interstate Com
merce Act. except in such instances
as they may be approved by the IN
terstate Commerce Commission. Per-
mission to disregard the section have
been obtained by railroads in a num-
Der of cases. Usually those in which
a railroad system operates a circuit
Gus route between points which are
also served by a more direct line
The longer line has been allowed to
make rates equal to those of its COM
petitor on through traffic, even while
its rates to intermediate points have
been held up to high levels.

is stable and is here to stay. The
difficulty is coming when the man
who now buys on credit, and asses
ses his employer to pay the bill, can
no longer do this. Most indus
tries will stand such an assessment
ONCE; but very few industries can
stand such an assessment continual
ly. The laborer whom you are now
paying S25 a week can buy his first
car and can assess you to pay for it
by demanding $50 per week instead
of $25. But can he assess you for
his second or third car; and a his
children do the same thing? Frank
ly, [ do not know. Only the future
can tell.
The automobile industry is large
ly responsible for the condition of
business today. The fact that the
Babsonchart stands at 1 per cent.
above normal compared with II per
cent. below a year ago is due large
ly to the automobile industry. When
one considers that during the first
six months of 1928 most states will
show as many new registrations as
during all of 1922-it is remarkable
that business has not doomed more.
The only answer is that people have
bought automobiles INSTEAD of
buying something else,-that is, the
sales of other things have fallen off
correspondingly. The Law of Action
and Reaction is absolute. Now what
will be the reaction of a new gen.

Perth Amboy evening news., 1923-06-30

ALBANY, June 80. - Roger w.
Babson was today asked what Is the
greatest factor with which the bank
err, manufacturer, and merchant
must reckon during the next 20
years. He at once answered, auto
mobiles" His complete statement
is as follows:
1--WE all marvel at the great growth
of the automobile industry, the CAPT
tai invested, the men employed, n
the auxiliary lines which have de-
veloped on account of automobiles.
Some of us try to figure what this
capital and these men would be do
ing today if it were not for automo-
biles-how many more homes there
would below much more railroad
mileage, etc. Very few, however,
have realized that automobiles are
entirely changing the fundamental
character of Jul children and this in
turn may revolutionize many indus
tries.
when we were children a ten
mile drive was a considerable trip.
A hundred and fifty miles vas a
great journey for which we would
prepare for weeks. Many of us
never travelled that fan until we
were grown up. Today, however, the
situation is very different. Young
children will go a hundred and fifty
miles for a Sunday drive. Our young
people use automobiles to &c to the
store, and to go to church. 1t has
become a necessity. We are raising
a generation which will actually
work and play on wheels.
sfTIfo aopnnf hoIp huf GREATLY do
velop certain industries and harm
others. At present the automobile
is greatly helping the building in
dustry because of the millions of
people moving from the cities to the
suburbs and country. After, how
ever, this exodus has been completed,
the building industry will fall flat.
Why?-because instead of a young
married couple now saving for a lit
tie home-they save for a car-or
rather they buy a car on credit. Less
none will be spent upon clothing
than otherwise would and a differ
ent kind of clothing will be in de-
mand. New diseases will develop
and a change in diet will be neces-
sary. A generation ON wheels must
eat much more fruit and fresh vege-
tables than a generation which
walks.
Every business man should study
this problem and ask himself how
his business will be effected when a
generation lives which almost never
walks. The road builders will great
ly benefit; but the shoe dealers must
suffer. With a given population, less
is produced by a generation On
wheels than by a former generation
which did not know the automobiles.
If less is produced, there will be less
to divide. This means that many
people must go without other things
If they insist on having automobiles,
and my guess is that they will so
insist.
"I believe In the permanence of
the automobile industry-although,
of course, many small manufactur-
ers will be crowded out and 1924
may see an over-production of cars.
The industry as a whole, however,

GOOD OUTLOOK
FOR BUSINESS
Trade Continues in Heavy
Volume, Says the Federal
Reserve Board

WASHINGTON, June 30-Produc-
ton and shipment of general mer-
chandise and manufactures contin-
ued in heavy volume during May and
the first half of June. A
of general business and financial con-
dittons made public today by the
Federal Reserve Board also reveal
ed thai the sustained high level of
production had been reflected in the
volume of employment and in many
instances advances in wages.
Wholesale commodity prices de-
clined to some extent in the six
weeks ended June Is, the reduction
being carried in some lines into the
retail trade, and the holdings of
bankers acceptances and Govern
ment securities by the Reserve
Banks were shown to be lower than
at any time in more than a year.
Production of iron and steel, ce-
ment and petroleum was larger ir
May than in any previous month
and the rate of production was re-
ported continuing in the early weeks
of June. Mill consumption of cot
ton was close to a maximum in the
same period.
A further decline in the value of
building permits granted in the prin-
cipal cities was cited in the sum-
mary, but awards of contracts repre-
senting actual undertakings, rattle
than prospective operations, increas
ed in most cities.
Slight increases in employment
have accompanied the Industrial &C
tivity in most lines. The advances
were most marked, however, in the
cotton, steel, meat-packing and SUI
~gar-refining industries.
The condition of both winter anc
spring wheat was regarded as less
favorable than a year ago, but the
cotton crop as a whole was said to
be in a better situation than at this
time last year, due chiefly to favor
able growing conditions in Texas.
Active distribution of commodities
was reflected in the heavy movement
of merchandise and miscellaneous
freight by the transportation lines
Car loadings continued in the period
covered by the summary to exceed
all previous seasonal records.
The volume of both wholesale and
retail trade increased in May and in
the early weeks of June as compared
with April, with wholesale dealings
in meat, hardware and shoes show
ing particularly large increases. De-
creases were reported, however, in
the sales of clothing and dry goods

SMALL FAVORS

Perish the thought that anyone in
New Britain should fail to show graf
itude to the Connecticut company for
the smallest indication of effort on the
part of the company to consider the
comfort OF the people of the city. This
newspaper, for its part, has been
eager to discover such evidence of
wisdom in the management Of the
company, but though the mind was
willing the material was weak and
there has been little chance to COM
mend action by the company inspired
merely by the wish to make travel
ing on the trolley more comfortable.
Even the slight reduction in fare, ia
begin next Sunday, does not come in
for thorough commentator, because
it is believed the company could serve
itself and the people better by an
nounced reduction for short rideYtc
five cents.
1t would seem, however, that the
extension of the '15-minute headway

THE SCHOOL SURVEY

In looking over the names OF those
selected by Mayor Paonessa to make
! survey Of the schools the conclu-
sion is reached that the chances are a
report favorable to the Mayors idea
will be turned in. When the mayor
of q city has strong conviction on a
certain matter and appoints COM
mittee to report officially after in
vestigation'' whether or not he is right
IN his conviction, it would not be ma
tural for him to name persons who
he knows, are opposed to him in
everything he does. 1t would not have
been natural, for instance. for Mayor
Paonessa to name the school accom-
naodation committee as . part Of the
cemmittee of ten to make an inves-
tieation as to the needs Of that very

INCREASED POPULATION

The news from The Herald's Wash
ing correspondent of the increase in
population in various Connecticut
cities is interesting and significant.
The increase in this, city of 1851.
namely to population which is es-
timated will be 64,S67 on July /, 1928.
instead Of 59,316 when the census
was taken in 1890, has been. scarcely
realized. This increase is reflected in
the scarcity of vacant living quarters.
1t is obvious that the big business OF
our factories has drawn great por-
ton of this increase and as there is
no present prospect Of lessening Of
manufacturing, there is no present
prospect of a decrcase,yin this growth
in population. 1t is even probable
that when July 1st comes the "es-
timated" increase will be found to BIT
too small.
The increase in this city of 9.3 per
cent is proportionately greater than
that estimated for New Haven, which
is ga per cent, and about the same
as that of Hartford and Bridgeport,
the latter being about one per cent
higher.
The deductions to be drawn are
obvious there having been no sudden
boom here, the growth being the ma
tural result of daily increasing pros
perity. OF course faith in this city
| has been justified. No sudden move
should be made in the matter OF
| changing business plans because OF
the facts here disclosed. A steady
progressive and consistent continuing
of the way we have been going is the
proper slogan. The growth of the
population shows the city is getting
its proper share of the results of re-
turned prosperity and, in order tt
hold that place, should be as progress
sive as possible without learning t.
its sorrow that haste makes waste
The merchants will do well to note
the increase, If they have not alread,
felt it's results, and should not b'
backward about presenting theil
wares toythe public in increasin,
quantities. And the merchants, the re
tai1ers, be it remembered, are the las
to feel the effects of returning pros

fore, would come as surprise He be-
lieves we do not need the new schools
asked for, He hopes his committee
will report this to be the condition. ~
Is not strange. therefore, to see the
names OF at least five men ON that
committee upon whose votes the
Mayor may confidently count, Under
the circumstances, therefore, II would
be ''sure thing" bet that the worst
the Mayor can get out of this sur
vey is draw-7he being sure of five Of
the committee of ten. The chances are,
however, that among the other five
there will be at least one or two who
will side with the Mayor. We Will
then have had survey. And that's
that,

NA,JE SUPPRESSION

A great deal of fuss has been made
ever the question as to whether the
authorities did right or wrong IN sup
messing the name OF certain man
mixed up in the pathetically tragic
case of the death Of Dorothy keenan,
in New York. Learned illusions have
been written saying that the name OF
the individual should have been
brought out at once. Erudite edl-
torials have been written, on the other
hand. lauding the suppressing OF the
name for the sake of innocent peo-
ME who would suffer because of the
publicity that would fall upon them'
The critics have cited the fact that
the guilty man, if he is guilty Of any
! thing. should have remembered the
innocent before he did anything that
might bring sorrow upon such inno-
cent people; that all crime requires
the fullest light.
The whole discussion is beside the
noint. The case was one of those dis
y tressingly terrible ones where justice
must be served. Ii the innocent mus
suffer in order to punish the guilty
K they must suffer even to the point OF
! being dragged into the limelight. IL
4 this is not necessary-and few are the
cases where suppression is wise
there is no need of making the lnno'
cent suffer No two cases may oe
i,dged by the same rule. The discus
, sion of one case does not aid in de-
! Gliding upon wise action in another.
