greatly increasing its appropriation
to enable it to employ much larger
staff Of expert accountants. But the
accounting staff Of the commission
has been large enough for the last
twenty years to enable it to keep
general supervision of railroad &C
counting and to specially investigate
the financial operations Of any rail
road company which it had reason tc
believe required attention.
And for the last fifteen years the
commission has known that the ST.
Paul Company had falsified its books
and manipulated its accounting sys-
TEN for the express purpose of con
cealing the truth as to its financial
conditions. 1t caught the ST Paul
Company with the goods" in 1910,
and from that hour the Interstate
Commerce Commission should have
been on its guard. The Commission
must in some measure therefore share
with the officers and directors of the
st. Paul, the responsibility for the
failure of the road
The present administration also has
duty to perform rather more i'm
portant than looking after the Pres
ident's last years straw hat The

public treasury has a $68,000, 900
stake in that loan to the st. Paul to
be cared for in the settlement of the
affairs Of that company. Just before
the road was thrown into the hands
Of receivers, Secretary Of the Treas
ury Mellon took the responsibility Of
urging Congress to reduce by law the
interest the St Paul had agreed to
pay on this loan. Secretary Mellon
who ought to know all the fine points
of this kind Of high-jinx finance, will
know just how to save that $68,000,-
O00,-principal and interest.
The failure Of the st. Paul has
caused scarcely a ripple Of comment
in Big Business or administration
circles. Why? 1t is because the
bankers, who WELD such tremedous
influence both in industry and gov
ernment, feel confident they can take
care of themselves. No doubt they
regard the looting of the st. Paul as
one of the finest achievements of
"private initiative" and it is an
achievement if we are to continue to
permit our transportation system to
remain the plaything Of financial
crooks.

Tricky Employer
Is Heavily Fined

New York-The joint board in the
ladies' garment industry, consisting
of representatives of the Internation-
al Ladies' Garment Workers union
and employers, has fined the firm of
R. Sadowsky $4,858 for violating its
agreement with the union. The de-
cision has shaken the garment indus
try and former sWeatshop employers
are aghast at changed conditions the
union has made possible.
The Sadowsky firm is one of the
best-known and largest cloak and
suit concerns in the New York mar
ket. The firm operated two sets of
shops, in which union and nOn-union
standards were maintained. On COM
paint of the union, the joint board
investigated the case, as provided in
the agreement 1t was proven that
while the union shops were shut
down, the non-union shops were being
operated.
The impartial chairman of the
board fined the company $4,000 for
violation of the agreement and order
ed that $2,358 in back wages be paid
to the union employees. The chairman
also ordered that the company re-
open its union shop and employ form
er workers.
Chairman IngersolPs award has
alarmed those employers who have a
lingering hope that they can violate
the agreement they are party to by
secretly re-establishing tenement
house practices.

Ambassador Tells
Truth About Germany

New York-Ambassador Houghton
came home on his way from Berlin
to his new post in London; and when
the ship-neWs reporters met him in
the harbor he talked Of life in Ger
many with a frankness and direct
ness that was refreshingly undiplo-
matte. The Foch legends of Ger
many secretly arming he called "ab-
surd." "These stories of secret
stores of arms used to be brought to
the Embassy in Berlin every morning
before breakfast" he said. Some
crazy person might have a hundred
guns hidden in his attic-that is all. !"
Mr. Houghton reported rising
wages and a remarkable decline in
unemployment; the Dawes Plan, he
said, was helping Germany to more
rapid recuperation than anyone had
thought possible. Germany never
again will be a great military pow
err" he added, and talk of an ag-
gressive military alliance between
Germany and Russia he called non
sense; but he was sure that Ger
many would soon be as great an
economic power as before the war.

NEED LESS MEN
MODERN MACHINERY DOES
MORE WORK
New Automatic Devices Boost the
Profits While Ousting Many
Men From Jobs

Chicago-The report of the Nation
al Industrial (employersO Confer
ence board showing that in March,
1925, industry was employing 20 per
cent fewer workers than in June,
1920, marks the rapidity with which
automatic machines are displacing
human workers. With production so
high that the country could not abb
sorb all the goods turned out, hun
dreds of thousands of workers were
looking for a chance to work.
The Wall Street Journal reports
that the B. F. Goodrich Company,
manufacturers of tires and rubber
footwear, are producing approximate
ly the same number Of tires as in
1920 with a little over half as many
workers, $1,000 compared with 25,OOO
in 1920. An important factor in the
profitable showing made by Goodrich
in 1924, says the journal, was the in
stallation of more modern machinery
which resulted in reducing overhead.
The latest issue Of Iron Age shows
the following examples of modern
machinery reducing labor on various
operations: A shop cutting bronze
driving-box shoes replaced a 1O-year
old planning machine with a new 49,
inch Gray maximum service planer.
Operating time was cut from 80 to
20 minutes. The investment of
S4,7OO is earning annual net profits
of 43.6 per cent. A railroad shop re-
duced the time for grinding crank
pins from as to 20 minutes by an in
vestment of $3.50 in new machin-
cry. The annual net profit on the
new investment is estimated at 1888
per cent.
In milk bottle factories the substi-
tuition of jigged up turret lathe for
an engine lathe operated by crafts
man of the old school has reduced the
time for making molds from 480 to
SO minutes. The additional invest
ment of $4,739 made a net profit Of
384.4 per cent though the tools were
deprecated 100 per cent a year and
the machine was busy only two
thirds of the time.
Development of the internal gear
spindle drive in connection with rad
ial drills by the American Tool works
reduced the time for boring locomo-
tive side rods from $40 to SO min
utes. The time for one roughing and
two finishing cuts on the inner cam
surface of a pump body was reduced
kearney & Trecker Milwaukee mill
from 40 to IL minutes by No. IA
ing machine. Allowing 100 per cent
annual depreciation the net profits of
this equipment were 309.2 per cent.

or more aggrieved stockholders might
we'll set the wheels Of justice in mo-
tion and rip the cover off this dirty
mess.
Either the courts or the Interstate
Commerce Commission are better
equipped to bring out all the facts in
this greatest Of all railroad swindles
than any congressional committee.
They have all the machinery ready
for immediate action The Commits
sion has examiners and capable sal
aried attorneys trained and ready for
the work. 1t is to be hoped that it
will act promptly and thoroughly.
They owe it to themselves and to the
country. Their investigation should
encounter no danger of inside manip-
ulation for the purpose of white
washing some of the guilty parties.
1t would not be discredited as politi-
cal or partisan.
1t is safe to say that the public
and the stockholders may rest assured
that there will be a searching inves-
tigation of this colossal job. 1t is
too rank to escape altogether The
public is entitled to know the facts.

terests would not then for instance,

The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion should Immediately institute an
inquiry into the causes which brought

The Commission has been clothed
with full authority to investigate
the books, accounts and all records
pertaining to the financial operations
of the railroads of the country since
1906.

chell, president of the National City
Bank; Percy A. Rockefeller; Charles
A. Peabody of the Mutual Life In
surance Company, and Frederick ii.
Ecker of the Metropolitan Life In
surance Company are among them;
AS Louis Seibold writes in his
series of Illuminating articles in the
Philadelphia Public Ledger on the
failure of the St. Paul:
"Many of the great banking, insur-
ance and large industrial concerns are
represented on these committees" =
at is regarded as certain that the
preferred and common stockholders
will have to pay an assessment OF
from $40 to $40 share in order to
protect their interests. The present
issues of St. Paul preferred and COM
mon stock are not assesSable, but
holders of these securities who do not
pay an assessment, if it is called for,
may be wiped out by the foreclosure
of the general and refunding mort
cages. In this situation the
banks, insurance firms and large
business concerns will undoubtedly be
able to protect themselves. What
may happen to the small holders OF
preferred and common stock is some
thing else again"
This seems like brutal statement,
but it is the old, old story of how
"private initiative" and private own
ership manages the railroads of the
country. The bankers get control OF
promising railroads, boost their rates,
take their profits for a few decades,
distribute their surplus to favored
"insiders" and then get out from un-
der before the smash comes. There
have been 700 railroad failures in
this country in the last 80 years. Of
these, 22 have been great systems,
each of more than 1000 miles in
trackage. What has happened in the
case of the St. Paul has occurred
many times before. The rotten New
Haven and Hartford is one of the
most shocking examples. 1t was loot
ed in the main by the same men.
What a beautiful showing for priv
ate ownership of the railroads is dis
closed by the failure Of these seven
hundred privately owned railroads.
Why, if the monopoly gang could only
get one good case of failure in public
ownership of some one important
public utility they would go fairly
mad with joy. And think, dear
friends, what huge saving it would
be in money and nervous anxiety and
lying! These private monopoly in

,CHANCES ARE SEEN AS Slim FOR
REINSTATEMENT OF TWO PLAYERS
INVOLVED IN 1924 BALL SCANDAL
BY HENRY L. FARRELL
United Press Staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, Dee. lS.--Jimmy
O'Connell and Cozy DoIan, former
members of the New York Giants,
who were involved in the 1924 scan
dal, haven I the slightest chance in
!. the world to get OF the ineligible
2 list, it was learned today from one
y of the most responsible sources III
baseball.
During the worlds series friends
/ Of young O'Conncli, believing that
] the penalty of banlshment was not
/ in proportion with any crime that
i he might have committed, tried to
I organize movement 20 have his
!, case rcconsidered by Commissioner
Lands.
An appeal in his behalf was made
unofficIl.Iy to the commissioner and
/ it was rejected promptly.
# Dolan, who WAS charged in the
/ lconft ssion of O'Conncll with the re-
/ sponslbility for the offer that was
made to Heinie Sand, the Phlla-
. del lphia shortstop, mot to bear
down. i'll II game against the
Giants, made personal appeal to
] the commissioner during the recent
baseball meeting here.
Discuss banlshed Duo
The former coach OF the Giants
never did admit any guilt i'll con
nection with the ease and he told
T his friends he Was sure that he
would be able to clear his name and
get back into the game.
! The eases of the two banishcd
players were discussed by Commits
sioncr Lands and the advisory com
mittec during the winter meeting
and il was understood that John y.
Hcydlor, president OF the National
league expressed himself against
any act OF clcmeutN and opposed
any modification of the penalty that
drove the paIr out OF organized base
ball.
The case of O'Conncll is consid-
cred similar to that of Buck Wcay-
er, the third bascman for the Chi
S cago, White Sox, who was involved
in the 1919 scandal.
Many baseball men feel that
Weaver was not involved as deeply
as some of the other C,icago play
crs and that his crime was more
of silence than participation or com.
