CHICAGO. May 20.-Waroen John

following his appearance before Will
and Cook County grand juries, in
which he was understood to have tes-
titled that he was not consulted about
the granting of certain paroles, ard
that the action taken was not con-
sistent with the records of the con-
VictS involved.
Il consider those paroles as wholly
unjustified and as insults to the parole
law, which was intended to extend the
privilege with great discrimination,
the warden was quoted as having told
the Cook County grand jury last night.
After his testimony here, the warden
announced his intention to stay and
fight" despite Il conviction that his
part in the investigation would be
used against him.
1T is the hope of those who are in
terested in my removal that these in
quiries will destroy me-" he said.

Declares Organized Industry

America Today.

Organized industry was praised by
Secretary Mellon as the secret OF
America S prosperity, the key to fu-
ture growth and the justification or
''big business" in an address de-
livered over the radio last night to
the convention of the National Elec-
trio Light Association at Atlantic
City.
Appealing for a sympathetic atti-
tude toward business generally, Mr..
Mellon declared pioneer conditions
in industry have passed, and I'VE can
no longer count solely on our bound
less resources. but must depend on
the increasing efficiency of our in
duStrial system"
Because business is big it is not
necessarily a menace" the Treasury
Secretary said. The justification for
big business Is that it serves the pub
lie more efficiently than many small
businesses could do in that particu-
lar line. Otherwise, in n world of in
eXorable economic laws it would not

Higher Wages Result.

Higher wages and reduced costs of
products result from increased or
eanization of industry, Mr.. Mellon de-
clared and "in the end we find that
it pays to manufacture in quantity
and to make a larger volume of small
profits"
This is the secret of our success
in America. 1t is also the reason why
much of the distrust which formerly
existed because of the size and sup
posed power of corporate organiZa-
tions is wearing away as men under
stand better what these orga niZationS
are and how greatly they contribute
to our prosperity and our high stand
ard of living. Corporations are no
longer owned by a small number of
individuals"

Criticizing past sporadic attempts
to regulate and sometimes to cripple
industrial expansion the Secretary
declared that President Coolidge has
pursued a clear, consistent course

big. but desires that business and in
dustry. SO far as possible. shall work

1T is not improbable" he said,
that in time the spread of industrial
development will eliminate the clash
of economic interests along geographi-

also Will disappear as we find that our

One of the deadliest and most elu-

TINS. Grimes against women have

OF this class of criminals.
Much of this crime could be avoided

Young women should never carry on

looking 'sheiks" riding in smart cars
Many Of these automobiles contain
deadly criminals who mean nothing
but harm.
Young women who stop to talk tc
strangers are heading straight for
trouble. If you are accosted, keep
right on going. If you are followed
