JUDGES PAY Af>''

A bill increasing the salaries
OF Federal judges to $17,500 in
the Circuit Courts of Appeals
and to $12,500 in the District
courts will be introduced today
by Senator Wagner CD of New
York.
He contrasted the present sal.
aries of $4,000 to circuit judges,
and $4,000 to District judges
with those in New York State,
which pays her appeal Judges
$4,000 and her supreme court
judges $22,500. while police mag
istrates received $4,000. He
added:
"The salarary Of a Judge
ought to have some relation.
ship to the dignity of the posi-
ton, the duties it entails. the
living requirements Of the
judges and the deSirability of
attracting the best available
men to the bench. Measured
by these standards, the salaries
presently paid are obviously
inadequate"
Wagner said he expected the
bar associations throughout the
country to support his bill He
added that Henry Ward Beecher,
president of the Federal Bar AS
Sociation of New York, New Jer.
sey and Connecticut, had sent
him a resolution approving the
proposed increases.

Trickeryy-BOld Dash
Brin0 His Freedom

MONTEREY, Va, June 6.-By
a clever ruse and a bold dash,
Albert Eckard. being held in the
county Jail here on q charge OF
forgery, gained his freedom. Eek
ard had prevailed upon the sher'
iff to drive him to Staunton,
where he claimed to have friends
from whom he could raise the
money to pay off his forged
checks and save prosecution.
On a lonely stretch Of road the
prisoner, making an excuse to
stop, got out Of the car and,
while the officer was off guard,
made a dash for the nearby
woods. The officer fired twice
at him and pursued him, but
Eckard had vanished. He crossed
into West Virginia and sent word
to authorities yesterday that he
would make good his forged
checks.

Of $1,000 in JeUeLs

CHICAGO, June 6 QNSO.-
Police today searched for a
masked bandit who last night
climbed through a window of the
home of Charles G. T. Byrne,
wealthy steel manufacturer,
scooped up $1,000 worth Of
jewelry and $45 in cash and
escaped.
Rousing Joseph H. Prior, Mrs.
Byrne's brother. the bandit
forced him at the point of his
revolver to lead the way to Mrs.
Byrne's room where the robber
seized the jewelry, two platinum
and diamond rings and two bar
pins.
Miss Mary Corbett, a guest,
saved a $4,000 diamond ring by

MERCER FIGHT 7
NEARS END

YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio, Oct. q
1.N.S0.-Disputing further the
contention Of anti-merger at
torneys that the consolidation Of
Youngstown Sheet and Tube Com
pany with Bethlehem Steel Cor
poration was perpetrated with
fraud, Frederick H. Wood, OF
Chicago, counsel for the defense
in the spectacular battle over the
injunction suit to prevent the
merger, continued his closing
argument in Common Pleas Court
here today.
Unless some unforeseen develop
ment arises, this week will wind
up the fight over the merger in
the Mahoning County Common
Pleas Court, it was believed as
the trial was resumed today. Con.
tinuation of the battle in higher
courts, however, regardless of the
decision, has been indicated at
various times during the trial
here. r
The Interpretation Of the new
Ohio corporation code by Judge
David G. jenkins likely will be
the basis for an appeal should
the courts decision in the present
suit be unsatisfactory to either
side. Attorneys for the opposing
forces have given widely different
meanings to the provisions Of the
new code.
woods closing argument, the
first to be made for the pro-
merger groups, which was started
last Thursday, was expected to be
completed today. A large part
of his argument has been con-
fined to a refutation Of plaintiff
charges that the merger was nego-
tiated with fraud. He also came
to the defense Of Henry G..
Dalton, partner in Pickands,
Mather and Company, Cleveland.

Commission
We are now being deluged with
alibiS and errors. All the un-
sound thinkers who went wrong
last year and encouraged over.
production, Initiation and Specula-
ton are telling us what we
should do.
Some are saying that the Re
serve Banks should put out more
money and credit. They want
another dose Of initiation. If
more money were put. in circula-
ton, business would be good, they
tell us.
others say, let the people
spend. Don't save, they urge,
but. spend. II everyone would
begin spending money, business
would be good. ,''.',
Others say the only trouble is
"undef-eonslimption." There is
no real over-production-4-we. just
don't consume enough! They
argue that if everyone would be-
gin consuming freely, business
would be good.
Most Of these persons who can
tell us exactly how to get well at
once hold the idea that the only
trouble with us is in our minds.
The depression is psychological,
they say. Just snap out of it,
and there you are! If every buSi-
ness would Immediately start up
in full blast, business. would be
good. -,
TO my mind land I think all
trained economists agreed these
notions are thoroughly unSound.
For one thing, they are like tell
ing child that the way to catch
q bird is to put salt on its tail.

Experts Delude Public,
Despite Mistakes

OF course, II all business con-
Germs could now begin to operate
full blast, business would be good.
+! OF course, If money were cir.
culated freely, business would be
good. OF course, if no one had
to save and everyone could spend
freely, business would be good.
But that is merely saying that
II business were good it would be
good. It is like telling a sick
man that if he will just get up
and run around and eat a lot.
he will be we'll.
Money circulateS actively when
business Is good. because active
circulation is the result of good
business. It circulates too freely
when business gets the fever of
an inflated boom. But you can't
make money circulate freely when
business is poor.
Just ask yourself what started
this deflation, reduced spending.
and business fear? Not much
more than a year ago, initiation
was great. We were buying auto
mobiles, radios and stocks with
great freedom. No one seemed to
he afraid = and bullishnesS was
rampant.
We then had plenty Of exactly
the things that these unsound
thinkers now say would cure us.
Why did business get sick?
Is it not plain that the trouble
was that we had too much of
these things? Too many billions
of dollars of credit were poured
into the stock market. So many
automobiles and tons Of copper
we're produced that we could not
buy them at the existing prices.
We were buying more than we
could pay for.
If we want to cure man of
alcoholic poisoning, we don't give
him more alcohol, nor do we tell
a sufferer from acute indigestion
to eat freely.

RECOVERY
SEEN IN TRADE

CHICAGO, Oct. 27.-Despite
the fact that it is clearly seen
that business recovery viii be
slow, business sentiment is more
depressed than actual conditions
warrant. in the opinion of. the
Business Observer, monthly re-
view Of the Foreman-State Bank,
Of Chicago.
The Observer points out many
hopeful signs in the present sit
uation. It makes a comparison
between the present depression
and that of 1921 taking nineein-
dices as guide, and expresses
the belief that the pronounced
upSving in the business curve
cannot he expected before the
first quarter of 1891.
Regarding the present situation
the publication says: -:
October statistics make some
what better reading than OCtO.
Der sentiment. This has been
the case now for two cOnSecu.
tive months. In September the
figures ON commodity prices re.
vealed a firmneSs that had not
been present for over . year,
and yet business sentiment
turned downward with the stock
Inarket.& This month we have
additional assurance because
commodities have maintained
comparative firmness for an
other thirty days. Also, q clear
majority of our business indices
registered seasonal improvement,
or better, between August and
September"
Stocks OF manufactured goods
are being reduced, and the bus
i1eSs observer notes:
"That consumption has been
exceeding production by q signif.
icant margin for at least six
months. Shortages have been
developing, and we are begin

NEW YORK, Oct. q UN.S).
After an irregular opening; in
which gains and losses were evenly
distributed among the active
stocks, the market drifted lower
in dull trading today. There were
no important favorable develop

the absence of aggressive demand
for stocks, the professionals were
inclined to sell. J. I. Case SUI
fered q 5-point break to 11OA on
renewal of the selling which car
ried the stock sharply down last
week.
Stock sales in the first half
hour totaled only $4,000 shares
which included the accumulation
of the weekend. This was less
than half of the opening periods
of the last three weeks, and gave
further evidence of the drying
