up and went on the stage. He spoke
about Is minutes. Mr.. Goerman writ
ing down in short hand. He greeted
them in behalf Of the Communists
and the workers Of America Thunder
GUS applause.
He spoke of the Russia 2 years
ago when he was in Russia and the
Russia of today. He praised them for
destroying the rotten capitalist sys-
tenn in Russia and for building up q
workers republic. And added that he
hoped to live long enough to see the
same conditions in America. s
He hailed Lenin as the greatest
statesman of the day and onec who
laid his life down for the cause of
the worker. He thanked them for
their kind attention. Mr.. GoeEman
jumped up on the stage and translate
ed. Thunderous applause. Several Of
the seamen from the cruiser spoke
and read poetry. The most interest
ing was the young seaman who was
chairman of the meeting. He had
come all the way on the cruiser from
Archangel thru the Suez Canal, and
related all his experiences from the
voyage to the meeting.

First port, in London, he said, they
were given a big welcome by the

Next port, Naples, Italy, they were
not allowed on shore because they
were Communists, and he said the
Communists of Naples came down to
the ship to welcome them in behalf of
the Communists of Italy, but they
were driven away by the police and
fascist soldiers. After that there. was
guard thrown around the ship and
nobody was allowed near her., Every

other things for consumption of the
ships crew, he said, was carefully
examined and opened.
From there they went thru the Suez
Canal, in Colombo and the Eastern
ports and said the conditions there
were miserable and deplorable beyond
imagination. In Colombo they had

Meet Old Friends.
At about 1880 the meeting came
to an end When we got outside there
were several people who invited us to
their homes. But as we could only go
with one we went with friend of Mr..
Goerman who invited us.
We had some supper and music. So
Mr.. Goerman said it was too late to
go back to the ship. We best sleep
here tonight, which we did.
Next morning we got up early; Mr..
Goerman had a boat put at our dis
posal. We thanked the people where
we slept, said good bye to Mr.. Goer-
man, and started back for our little
ship. The cruiser sailed up the coast
that evening.
We visited the village more often
after that in our own motor boat.
After that evening met those three
young men we had given passage from
Petropovlosok. l asked them what
kind of luck with the fishing and they
said good. l asked where the priest
was we had also given passage as l
did not see him at the meeting. They
told me fishing in little open boat
was too tough life for that gent, so
he had gone tossome little place up
the river.
The last time we visited the village
we asked the young people in appre-
citation of their kind treatment they
had given us all times while in the
village if they could not visit our ship
for a day, as we we're about ready
to sail home. They said they gladly
would and the next day in the after
noon they came in a motor boat, ten
young men and two young ladies, their
string instruments with them. They
had supper on the boat with us and
after supper we had music and sing
ing and jolly good time. They sang
Russian songs and we sang English
songs. About twelve that night we

The total car loadings for 1926, up
to the end of August, totalled 3d.
549,472, an increase even over the
former record year Of 1928.
Figures for the profits of the rail
roads for August are not yet avail
able. But reference to the course of
the so-called gross and net earn
ings" up to and including July, will
show that the railroad capitalists are
reaping rich harvests from the in
creased business. From the CONNER
cial and Financial Chronicle (Sept.
12), we find "gross earnings" Of rail
roads for the month Of July, 1925, to
be $521,53S,6O4, an increase Of $4O,-
5S5,6O1 over the same month Of 1924.
"Net earnings" were S9,606,752, an
increase of $27,S19, S65. }
A very significant angle to these
figures is contained In the comparison
between gross" and met" increases.
The gross increased but s.44 per cent,
while the increase of net profits was
approximately 25 per cent. This is

That is, in approximate percentag-

July, 1924, was, imports, II per cent,
exports 20 per cent; for the seven
month period, imports IL per cent, ex-

important indication of the growing

August, 1926. This comes as the lat
est development in what is sure to
be a record year In the months
of 1925, building construction has
reached the enormous total, according
to the figures Of the F. w. Dodge
corporation, Of $S,77s,792,OOO, for the
SO Eastern states. According to the
Indiana Limestone Quarrymen's AS
ISOLATION, the total for the country
exceeds four and quarter billion dol
lars. This is an increase Of rs per
cent over 1924. in spite Of all the
predictions one year ago, by the same
authorities, that 1925 would witness a
big drop in the amount Of construc-
ton.
Lumber production, shipments, and
orders for the first SO weeks of 1925,
showed interesting and substantial in

INDUSTRIAL production in the Unit
1 ed States, which for the year 1925,
has been showing substantial increase
over 1924, but which had been de-
clining slightly from January to July,
took a decided upturn in the month
of August. This is indicated by many
reports of basic factors in the indus
trial situation. Among them are:
Steel Production.
PRODUCTION of steel ingots for
4 August totalled 3,424,034 tons.
This was an increase Of S36,444 tons
over July, and of S71,143 tons over
August, 1924. The daily production
averaged 131, 1914 tons, against 1888
the previous month and 9S,18S for the
same month of 1924. This produc-
ton is "a per cent Of capacity, against
6S per cent in July, or about z per
cent above the postwar average. Gig
