The Department Of Labor so
reported yesterday in its monthly

"The future may reveal that
more money will be available
for the further development Of
industry and the establishing
Of new industry, and less for

Cotton Industry
Conditions in the cotton in

said. Conditions in the silk in
duStry, however, were described
as entirely satisfactory.
A futher increase was noted
in the jewelry manufacturing
business, while a high level of &C
tivity was maintained in the
Shipbuilding yards, with large
numbers of skilled and unSkilled
laborers employed.
Practically all plants manu-

to the survey. which added:
There was q further decrease
in the volume Of building which
increased the surplus of these

The harvesting of the cotton

HEADING FOR
EASY Money


Business, industry and specula-
tive transactions in stocks ap-
peared from the Washington view
point today to be heading toward
the calmer waters OF "easy
money"
A combination of events indica-
ted this situation after the New
York market slump.
i. A tax reduction that will
turn $16e, 100000 back to corpo-
rations and individuals in 1880,
with the possibility of even a
more substantial cut in 1881.
Q. Possible reductions in the
! discount rates OF the Reserve
Banks following the decrease
from 5 to 4h per cent in the
New York rate. i
3. Reduction of more than $2,-
000. 0O0, 900 in brokers loans in
three weeks, placing additional
funds on the market.

White House Denies
Page State Appointment

Official denial was made at
the White House today of a pub
lished story that Arthur Wilson
Page, of New York, a Democrat,
is to be appointed Assistant Sec
rotary of STATE. .--
Page is a son of the late Wal
ter Hines Page, ambassador to
Great Britain in the Wilson ad-
ministration.
The rumors of Pages appoint
ment probably arose over the fact
that he will accompany Secretary

capacity. StimSon and Page are
old friends and Page is to go to
London as the Secretary's per
Sonal aide and companion.

Albany. N. r.. Feb. 20 R-An' ether spell of snow was the dis couraging outlook for today. after a storm of :A hours duration had covered New fork state and caused the death of one man.
 Eiden Schoolmaker of Edar Hill near here. was killed when he dro'e his motor truck in front of New York Central train at the Wemple station crossing. Schoolmaker, it ls believed. was blinded by the snow and did not see the approaching train.
 Street cleaning departments mus tered extra forces to keep the ar t.ries of traffic open throughout the state and in some sections blows and shoyels were in action all night. It seemed likely that fresh shifts would have to so on duty today if the snow continued 10 fall as fast as it did yesterday.
 Many Minor Accidents
 Many minor accidents were re- ported, both on the county highways and the city sidewalks. due to glaze of ice that the snow covere'.
 Glens Falls had ten inches of snow and Elmira four inches.

LOOMS SEES GOOD
 RAIL YEAR AHEAD
Lehish Road Executive 0pdmis'
 tic in Annual Report

Philadelphia, Feb. 70 R-Left reasonably free from the ''unwar- ranted attentions of the lawmakers" :" the railroads of the country should enjoy a prosperous year in 1929. Edward E. Loomis. president of the Lehigh Valley Railroad Company, declared today in his annual report to the stockholders.
 Despite a heavy falling off Tn gross revenues. the report showed net income for 1928 of S6,6t6.507.d3. an increase Of $2.3SV,5oO compa red with the preceding year. --
 President l.oomis pointed out that while both freight and passenger revenues showed decreases, expenses had been brought into harmony with the lower earnings. Gross revenues were off $2.567.747, but expenses were reduced $5.4t3.45G, Total op- erating revenues were placed at $7l.- 9%5.o1l and total operating expenses at $53,S26.935.
 Improvements Costly
 During the year the Lehigh Valley spent $9.52l,S00 for Improvements. making approximately $72.000. 0oO spent for additions and betterments to its property since 1903 without the issuance of any new securities. At the close of the year the company had surplus of $62.90l.079. Bonds ot the railroad company and its subsidiaries in the hands of the pub lie amounted to $l3s.675,00O on which the average interest rate was i.56 per cent.
 Concerning the immediate future of the country's railroads. MT. l.oomis listed as dangers" these possible legislative developments:
 additional waterway legislation adversely affecting the railroads both as freight carriers and as tax payers: tinkering with the transpor- tation act. regional representation in the membership of the interstate commerce commission. or continued senatorial application of political tests to men named by the president for that body. either of which would seriously endanger it's integrity"
 'If the railroads" added Loomjs are left reasonably free from the unwarranted attentions of the law makers and the commission is given a free hand in it's endeavor 10 insure them the fair return on the value Of their properties as provided by law. 1929 should be year of satisfactory It SUltS,"
