BABSON PARK, Mass. July 10.
lis there anything especially to
fear from the recent tremendous de
clines in certain industries?o The
question was put today to Roger w.
Babson the business authority, as
he completed a survey of business
so far this year. ID sst AZ
f"There is nothing surprising, IN
the recent slowing up of business,
since the decline has been really
indicated i'll the fundamental situa-
tion for over year, says Mr..
Babson. 8 We are still going through
d process of readjustment from the
postwar boom and the sane thing
to do is to look the facts in the
face, measure our true position, and
plan to meet conditions as they ex-
ist instead of sitting around wish
ing for business boom. During
the first half of this year we made
progress i'll the matter of this nee
essary' readjustment. Commodity
prices have continued their broad
swing downward. Since industrial
commodities have suffered more
than agricultural during this half
year we find our present adjust
ment between these two groups.
much more satisfactory and much
more sounder Fundamentally than it
was when the farmer was getting
pre-war prices for ,lIis crops but hav-
ing to pay postwar prices for
everything he bought.
Activity Slows Down
"Industrial activity has also
slowed down. At the beginning of
the year we found manufacturers
generally divided into two groups
Those who had enjoyed considerable
activity during the latter part of
1928, planned for increased produc-
tion during the year. The other
group planned for 'an average vol-
ume and made no elaborate prcpa-
rati0ns for expansion. The first
group has suffered and is sHffer-
ing rather severe disappointment,
the second group is in much sound
er position at this time. Statistics
compiled, ON the activity of 90
leading industries of New York
state show that wages paid which
in January totaled 103 per cent of
the previous year, have dropped 70
8j per cent by the end of juno.
The number of employees, mean
time, have declined from 81 per
cent in January to 80 per cent by
mid year. On volume of goods the
Babson Production Index which
stood at 1S9 in January registers
142h six months later, showing a
drop of no less than 25 per cent in
the volume of goods manufactured.
"Sales, meantime, have naturally
fallen off Today nearly every
state is showing an amount of busi-
ness smaller than that of the cor
responding month for 1923. Many
business men have been surprised at
this development, but it also was
foreshadowcd in the figure of last
fall and early spring.
Choking forward to the last
half Of the year." continued Mr.
Babson, "the figures would indi
cate the prospect of Il moderate i'm
provement-,with the accent ON the
moderate rather than upon the
Improvement Several factors sup
port this expectation. The decline
during the first half of the year
has been steady and ip many I'M
stances acute.
Money Is Easier
"Prcsent indications would sug
pest that certainly the rate of des
cent must slow up and eventually
give way to sidewise movement

Tragic Accident
Leads to Rigid
New Enforcement


The recent tragic death of a babe
aud injuring of five other persons
seriously when an automobile was
forced to turn SHARPLY to avoid
running down a bicycle not equipped
with lights, has brought a warming
from the authorities to bicycle riders
that, the state law demands that
every vehicle must be equipped with
lights when upon any public high
way after dark.
A check made by the Automobile
Club of Southern California shows
there have been several tragedies
recently due to failure of bieyclists
to be provided With lights, and
there have been a number Of near
accidents when Frs have suddenly
come upon a lone rider ignoring the
state law. 1t is pointed out that a
two wheeled vehicle should carry
light. not only for its own protec-
tioa, but for the protection OF every
other ear.

.TECHNICALITY MAY
SAVE YOUNG PAIR
FROM The MOOSE

CHICAGO, July 19.-Whcre was
Robert Franks killed? Illinois or
Indiana?
Nobody knws, not even Nathan
Leopold and Richard Loeb, youthful
millionaires who confessed to the
killing, the defense holds.
And the foregoing is the reason
why the defense. believes the boys
will never. hang for the crime, it
was exclusively revealed to the
United Press today.
To convict the youthful univers-
ity graduates and to send them to
the gallOws, the state must prove
that they killed the Franks boy
within the limits of Cook county,
the defense points out. This, the
defense claims, can never be proved.
If the state fails to prove that
Franks was killed in Cook county,
the ease is not longer under the jur.
isdictioh of Chicago courts and If
the case goes to another Illinois
county, or to an Indiana court again
it will be impossible for the prosecu
ton to prove whore Robert Franks
met death, the defense claims.

GOVERNMENT INTER
FERENCE MENACINC
INDUSTRY
By MATTHEW WOLL
President, International Photo
Engravers' Union

On every side one hears the fear
expressed that the government is
intruding itself too far into the in
dustrial and economic life of the ma
ton. More and more are the people
advised that political government is
unfit to deal with economic, industrial
and commercial tendencies and devel-
opments.
Unfortunately, the fear expressed
is founded upon reality and the ad-
vice given is based on fact and known
experience. We have today approx
mately 5000 law makers throughout
the land and somewhat near 5000
laws are enacted each year. In one
way or another, more than half these
laws affect the economic, industrial
and commercial life of the nation
More and more the conduct of in
dustry is removed from the domain of
employer and employed, who are ia
miliar with their particular trade ten
denotes and intricacies and their bust
ness is thrown into the hands of men
skilled only in the legal devices and
artifices to obtain from those who dc
the constructive work, the fruits OF
their toll and appropriate them tc
those who live without toll
All the laws enacted are made by
politicians-by men whose special
function is politics-who live and
think only in terms of politics. 1t is
therefore evident that politics does
have great and grave effect on oul
business life every day and every
hour
While fault is justly found with
the government intruding itself toe
far into business affairs, and in be-
ing prompted altogether too often BY
motives not for the public good; il
