INTERNATIONAL ENQUIRY
 INTO PRODUCTION

The International Labor Office pub lished about a year ago Volume I oi the Enquiry into Production which con tained a general account of the produc- ton crisis which took place after the war The third volume, containing 1,02l pages, has just appeared. It contains seven sections, dealing with the follow ing subjects: CD the shortage of raw material; CD the shortage of equip ment; (3) shortage of transport; (4) the lack of capital; (5) the lack of markets; (6) the exchange crisis; G) other general factors.
 The reports throws into prominence the prepondering influence exercised during the war, and at the beginning oi the post war period, by the shortage of raw materials, equipment, and transport. It leads to the conclusion that since about the middle of the year 1920, the two economic factors which dominated the movement of production are the lack of markets and the exchange crisis, the latter being considered as the pivot of the whole economic world crisis.
 In the last part of the report relating to the exchange situation, special atten- ton is devoted to the methods of sta- bilization adopted in Central and Eas- tern Europe.
 When the League of Nations stabiliz- ed the Austrian Crown, the dollar rose in Austria at the rate of 2l crowns day. When Poland effected the stabi ization of it's mark, the price of the dollar at Warsaw mounted at the rate of 68 Polish marks per minute. When Russia established the tchervonez, the value of which is 10 gold rubbles, the dollar scared at Pertograd at the rate of 18,OOO roubles per second. When Ger many stabilized the mark by the crea- ton of the rentenmark the dollar shot up at Berlin at speed of 75,OOO marks a second.
 The volume contains 270 statistical tables and 145 charts

 O. all countries would be thrown into competition with the lowest conditions existing III any of them
 The intensity of this competition has already begun to threaten all funda- mental standards of labor including those gained as concessions during the war. This IS especially noticeable in the desperate battle being waged by the Ger man workers for the preservation of such bitterly won standards as the eight hour day.
 "The industrial backwardness of Eu- rope, of which we are told so much in America, Is a myth. In a number of cases the advances being made are very noticeable This applies especially to conmercial aviation. Regular services IS maintained between London, Berlin, Paris and other cities and is being con- stantly extended The extent of the de- Velopment of superpower, especially by the use of waterfalls in mountainous countries, IS another striking example

DAWES SUPPORTERS
 ATTEMPT TO DEFEND CHICAGO BANK DEAL
Says He Was Generous" to Crooked Billy Lorimer-How About
 Depositors?

Wherever General Hell and Maria" Dawes goes in this campaign, he IS confronted with this query:
 Why did you make it possible
 for Billy Lorimer, notoriously cor
 rupt political boss of Illinois, to rob
 4,000 stockholders in the LaSalle
 Street Trust and Savings BankP"
 General Dawes has refused to an swer. He has great deal to say about the Constitution, reds, 'demagogues," and ''pee wits" but he can not find time to enlighten his audiences concerning this incredibly crooked transaction.
 The Generals friends have come to his rescue.
 Tn the current issue of the Worlds Work, an extremely conservative mag azine, dominated by the business inter ests which are backing Dawes, is an article by Richard, J. Walsh, in which Dawes side of the story is presented in the most favorable light.
 Here Is Dawes Defense"
 The story in the Worlds Work is reprinted as follows:
 ''Lorimer was president of national bank in Chicago, which was not i'll good condition. He decided to change to state, trust and savings bank. Under the Illinois law, the capital stock and surplus of the new bank had to be paid in cash and counted by the state audi tor. So Lorimer's national bank drew a cashiers check for the required sum of $1,250O00, which the Central Trust Company cashed by the author ity of Dawes, its president. The cur rency was handed to Lorimer in the tellers' cage at the trust company. He passed 1t to the auditors agent, who handed the money back to the cashier of the trust company, and got his check back In the language of the Supreme Court of the state:
 "This amounted to solemn declara- ton that the particular currency which was there present was the property of the La Sale Street Trust and Savings Bank, dedicated solely to it's business and subject absolutely to it's control.
 Dawes Bank Held Responsible.
 Twenty months later Lorimer's new bank failed. Its assets, according to the attorney for the receiver, were found to be insufficient by more than $2,0O0,0O0 to satisfy the claim of its depositors and other creditors. He then sued the Central Trust Company, claiming that the $1,250OO0 which it had provided to cash the check in 1912 was a trust fund belonging to the cred itors. After years of litigationl the Supreme Court held the Central Trust Company liable for the difference be-, tween the actual net value of the assets of the Lorimer bank at the time of the transaction, and the $1,25O,OOO capital and surplus. A decree was en- tered for $110,457.51.
 Dawes had been directly responsi- ble for the commission Of legal and | technical wrong. This is established. | His friends defend his action on three l grounds
 q. That the transaction was com mon practice among Illinois banks, and had never been regarded as wrong.
The Connecticut labor news., 1924-10-18

2. That neither Dawes nor his bank charged cent for it.
 8. That the motive was generous"
 Do you consider that a convincing story, MT. Reader? Would it satisfy you, if you had lost your money in the Lorimer bank? -..
 Dawes and Lorimer Pals.
 Dawes and Lorimer had been pals in politics. They had worked under Mark Hanna in '96 Hand in hand they had waded together through the mire of politics in Illinois.
 Dawes was generous" in his treat ment of Lorimer, but when 1t came to dealing with the 4,000 depositors who had lost their money in Lorimer's bank because of the crooked transaction en- gineered by Dawes and Lorimer, he was not so tender hearted. He fought the case through the courts for years, and finally, on the very day when he was nominated for vice-president by the Republican national committee the Supreme Court of Illinois compelled him to stand and deliver t>least part of the money which the unfortunate Lorimer depositors had lost.

CHILDREN EVIDENCE
 SPIRIT OF THRIFT
Receive Deposits and Then Re deposit Their School Bank
 Savings
Generosity of Directors InealeAtes
 Confidence of Pupils

Five hundred school pupils who de- posted money in the school bank had lt returned to them Friday and Satur- day by the directors of the Citizens National Bank. The total amount was s4.00o. The money, deposited in the nrst instance in the school bank had been deposited by the school bank m the First National Bank of Putnam. One of the most alarming features of the First National Bank closing it's doors was the possible effect t might have on large number of young de- positors.
 To lose the first money that many of them had ever saved through a banks failure would have a deter rent effect upon these young deposi- tors who were being urged to be thrifty and who had learned the les son with other lessons in school. The matter was taken up at a meeting of the school board and ways and means to have the pupils ultimately receive the whole of their deposits were dis cussed.
 It was the directors of the Citizens National Bank that solved the prob lem by personally guaranteeing the First National Bank the amount the children had on deposit if paid to them. The payment was made one of the features of Come Back Day and on Friday and Saturday, during bank ing hours, the pupils were allowed to withdraw their deposits from the old bank.
 Interest eentered in what the child ren would do with their money so withdrawn. If they had become in eulcsted with a spirit of thrift this, it was thought, would be a good test So the fact that nearly two thirds of the young depositorS immediately re- deposited the money in one of Put nam's three banks was gratifying to the teachers, members of the school board, bankers and parents.
 A few who carried their savings home returned again and deposited 1t, some at the suggestion of parents. The minority could not resist the temptation to retain the money and spend it for Christmas purposes. This was expected The small number that failed to redeposit speaks well for the school bank system and its teach ings.
 The Citizens National Bank was a busy place uuring the payment of the 5O0 accounts. Many children rede- posted without leaving the building while others carried their savings to the Putnam Savings Bank and the Gargill Trust Company. At least two thirds of the children's money. bank CTS say, has been left on deposit.
