POOR JUDGMENT ALL AROUND

POOR JUDGMENT ALL AROUND
 If, as Senator Bingham says, he conceived the idea of employing C' l.. Eyanson, assistant to President F. Kent Hubbard of the Manufacturers Association of Connecticut, as private secretary during the senate tariff hearings. he evinced very de- batable conception of the ethics of the senatorship.
 For the senior Nutmeg senator to claim that Mir. Eyanson was placed in his strategical position because he was regarded as a tariff expert and could advise the senator on tariff matters, is smoke screen that doesn't hide the self-evident adVan- tages to the association.
 President Hubbard of the associa- tion in turn should never have per mitted MT Eyanson to function in such a capacity. The associations connection with tariff discussions should have been open and above board. The fact that MT. Eyanson was on the Senate payroll and had attended secret meetings Of the com mittee did not become publicly known until the present time indi- cates that shroud of secrecy en- veloped the proceedings.
 MT. Eyanson has the reputation of being "a powerful lobbyist" Senator Bingham must have known of this reputation. Yet he deliberately at tempts to excuse himself from the onus of employing a lobbyist by stat ing he felt he needed the assistance of a tariff "expert" and that the lobbyist knew more about the tariff than the senator could learn in a short time.
 In the first place, it is surprising that Senator Bingham admits he knows less than another regarding any particular subject. He has mas queraded in the Senate as one of it's most cultured and learned members. In the second place the explanation leads to the assumption that all the Nutmeg senator has been saying about the tariff measure has been reflection of what one of the most powerful tariff lobbyists in Wash ington has been telling him.
 If there is q saving grain Of salt in the porridge it is that Senator Bingham canddly admits everything now that the facts have become pub lie property. There are no amazing denials supplemented with equally amazing pleas of Innocence. The senator admits he knew the auiia- tions of the lobbyist and he admits he hired him. He apparently is will ing to stand up and take his punish- ment like man. If the manufacture CTS who are affiliated with the state association do not happen 10 take umbrage at the Bingham Hubbard Eyanson deal especially now that ifs existence has given the enemies of tariff increases most effective am munition for their onslauehts in the Senate, Senator Bingham probably will not have his feelings per manently ruffel. In the long run if they are satisfied as an associa- tion, they will continue their support of a most ser'ile public servant tc their interests, Should a goodly pro. portion Of the manufacturers, how ever, conclude that 'hc scheme va, good idea but one that was bunglc. in execution, the senior senator iron Connecticut may become most ILL. happy, A good deal will depend tpor whether the manufacturers as : whole like this style Of poor jul2 mcnt.

NEW YORK, May s u.N.S).-The
motor stocks and the oils, with few
of the favored specialties, pushed
forward to slightly higher price
levels at the beginning of the new
week, behind a. moderate wave of
weekend buying orders. The air.
plane stocks were the favorites in
the specialties, while the over-ex-
plotted stocks like Advance Rumely
common and preferred fell back 2 to
4 points. American Can drew the
blue ribbon by its much-heralded ex-
plot in crossing $50 for the first
time, which is equivalent to q price
Of 5000 share on the old stock.
Wall Street was hopeful of two
important developments within a
day or two; first the settlement of
the reparations tangle; second, a
positive easing up in the money
market. The renewal rate for call
loans was 10 per cent, but 1t was ex-
pected that this would be shaded be-
fore the end of the day.
Last weeks upward move in

at the beginning of trading today.
and these stocks sold up about a

Graphophone advanced three points
to 81 on the strength of its pos
sible merger with radio. Consoli-
dated Gas at 115h showed a new
gain of two points, with rumors
persisting of a gigantic merger, to
embrace the Brooklyn Union and
other metropolitan gas and electric
light companies. Atlantic Refin.

tory.
The rails made another attempt
to follow the industrials to higher
levels, but selling orders rolled in
in the second hour and checked
budding rally in that depart
ment. Good buying of the better
grade of investment rails was re-
ported, with Union Pacific and
Chesapeake and Ohio the favorites.
General Electric and Westing-
house, old favorites in the electrical
manufacturing stocks. jumped ~
points and sold within a point or
two Of their high record prices.
General Electric moved up bril-
liantly to 261A and Westinghouse
to 1641a in a broad and active
turnover.
The commodity markets were
irregular. Cotton sold from points
lower to 5 points higher, wheat a

fractionally higher Money was re-

the possibility of a shortage later

INDUSTRIAL
LET-UP
By B. c. FORBES

Prosperous industries continue
prosperous. No let-up is yet
noticeable, Notwithstanding the
growing number Of predictions
that the recent pace cannot Be
maintained.
Even the stock market exhibited
fresh courage last week despite
very stiff charges for loans.
The writer has been visiting an
Eastern Industrial city whose wide
diversity Of plants supply mainly
materials, machinery, tools, etc.
for other industries, and it ig
gratifying to note that demand
was never greater than it is to-
day.
Work Day and Night r
Quite a number of establish
ments are working night ana
day. In certain lines there is
actually a scarcity Of skilled
The quarterly reports now being
issued are, on the whole, verp
favorable. 1t is the rule rather
than the exception for corpora
tons to show substantial gains ia
profits. Even some industries
that have been tagging are now
enjoying some improvement. -
Responsible financiers, howevera
are nearly all less optimistic than
the general run Of business men.
Executives whose plants are busy
and who have at least nprmak
number of untitled orders on hand
are well satisfied with conditions
and prospects. But when yo4r
mingle with influential bankers
you encounter considerable appre-
hension. The money market and
the stock market are both disliked.
Business and employment, it is
argued, are in danger Of being
affected later in the year.
Gold Coming In
Nobody. of course. can find com
fort in existing monetary COM
ditions. The excessively high
rates in New York have drained
the rest of the world Of leanahle:

Call loans ended the week ar
the stiff figure Of II per cent.
Time loans cost 81 to 81 per
