, hazards. Only in the industy of being unemployed has the English work
 man had the experience of rising
 pay while prices have declined. From 1921 to 1880 the English work CTS cost of living declined 30 per cent, but the amount of the individ-
 ual dole increased 30 per cent during the same period. Furthermore each
 increase in the individual dole pay
 ment during this period has been
 followed by an increase in the aver age number unemployed. the logical result of increasing reward for un- employment.
 The curren demand in tl.e United
 States for passage of legislation
 compelling industry to establish un- | employment wage reserve funds Is
 based on the argument that such
 funds are comparable to reserves
 set aside to pay dividends in times of
 slackened funds within industrial es-
 establishments are economically de-
 sirable, but hhe plans no w being
 worked out are not subject to polit-
 ical control of the size of funds and | amounts of benefits paid. The argu-
 ment that such funds are compar- 1 able to surplus or dividend reserve funds is. moreover, fallaciOus. In the first place, the wage-earner is
 paid as production goes on, while | the stockholder Is paid only agter
 both production is completed, sales
 are made, and if a profit is then shown. AS matter of fact, the av-
 craze number of corporations each
 year whic hoperate at a deficit is AZ per cent, the stockholders earning
 nothing but the wage -earners having been paid.;38 percent of common
 stocks listed on the New York stock exchange declare no dividends
 creased or passed dividends in 1880. Under the theory now advanced for our consideration, the workers in 40 per cent of the companies would | have no unemployment compensa- tion fund because the companies de- clare no dividends, or else efficient and fortunately successful manage
 ments in the remaining 60 per cent would be penalized by having to set | aside wage reserves for all indus trial wOrkerS''

Pianist and Quartet
 in Concert Course
Muriel Kerr and Stradivari= us String Quartet on
 January l3

The second Community Concert Course concert will feature Muriel Kerr who will play here on Janu ary 13 at the Buckingham hall with the Stradavarius String Quartette. She was born in Regina, Canada, 19 years ago. AS q child of nine she gave concerts in her native country and created much interest and speculation through the eXtraordin- ary beauty and maturity of her con- captions. The following two years she spent in Chicago working with Alexander Raab. At present Muriel
 Kerr is under the artistic guidance of Ernest Hutcheson, with whom she has been studying uninterrupt- edly since her 18th year, at first
 privately and more recently at the Juilliard Graduate school in New York.
 She made her debut in New York on December 5, 1928 under Men selberg at the Inaugural concert of the Schubert Memorial, play Rach- maninoffs c minor Concerto. The general public at that time knew
 nothing about this seventeen-year- old girl except that she was chosen for this honor. To musicians,
 however, she was no stranger. Rachmaninoff himself had previous ly heard her interpretation of his Concerto and pronounced 1t excel lent. Godowsky had ranked her as one of the finest women pianists of the day. Grainger had expressed
 himself as confident that she will be one of the worlds greatest plan ists.
 This one appearance with orches- tra sufficed to make Muriel Kerr a drawing power of such strength that town hall was crowded at her first recital on January 31. 1929.
 The audience was notable for it's
 brilliance, and distinguished artists
 listened with more than ordinary in- terest and pleasure to this extra
 ordinary .'oung girl through a tax
 ing program and n long list of en-
 cores. An extended tour followed
 in the course of which the rest of
 the country echoed New York's yer | dict.

Increased Taxation
 Harmful To Industry
Manufacturers Head Sees Grave Danger in Emotional
 Legislation to Speed Up Economic Relief

Hartford, Jan 7-Discussing the trends taken by emotional legislation to capitalize the present economic situation, Noel Sargent, manager of the Industrial Relation department of the National Association of Manu- fucturers, today at a meeting of the American Siciety of Mechanical En- gineers, gave this warning:
 'The public, the workers and the legislators of this country should realize that large increases in fed eral and state taxes upon industry will inevitably force industry either | to increase prices all along the line, further curtail operations, or to cur tail other expenses, mainly by re- | ducing kage rates.
 'If industry is forced to reduce | wage rates in 1881 and 1882 as q result of mounting burdens of taxa tion the responsibility will definitely rest upon the federal and state legislators who pass the bills re- quiring the increased taxes"
 MT Sargent pointed out that
 'forty-four state legislatures, in addition to the national congress meet in 1881. Legislation already prepared for introduction in these Doulco, iS WclI ilS lIldI oo leiI III troduced in congress, demonstrate that the New Year will present for legislative and public consideration veritable flood of alleged panaceas for real and imaginary social and economic ills. Every period of de- pression brings forth q host of in- dividuals who believe they have dis covered a sure cure-all. Every legis- lator who has a pet idea or hobby now demands 1t be passed as relief measure. Nearly all such measures provide for large expenditures of public funds and creation of new governmental departments and office holders, all to be paid from public taxes"
 MT Sargent declared that 'the experience of England with govern mental unemployment insurance demonstrates the folly of relying up- on governmental cure of economic -

Alleged managers and writers of policy esta blishments and owners of gambling machines paid total of $815.75 in police court this morn- ing. Six frequenters were dis charged. Two failed to appear and forfeited their bonds but apparently their absence was due to misun- derstanding and their cases will un- doubtedly be reopened tomorrow morning. Waivers as to ownership of five gambling machines were signed and the machines valued at more than $75O and containing pos sibly $100 in nickels and quarters were ordered destroyed. They were remanded to the custody of the official "executioneer."
 The penalty of $1O0 and costs inn posed on policy keepers and writers was the maximum fine that Judge John F. McGrath was in a position to levy. The contribution to the courts treasury was the largest sim gle day collection made in several months. There was no hedging the money was paid promptly to the clerk of the court, Albert Bronsky.
 The raids staged yesterday by members of the police department caused considerable comment, but indicated apparently that the auth critics here are cOgniZant of what ever conditions exist here and do not need the services of any hired stool pigeons" from out of town to tell them. Some of the so-called undercover agents supposed to be working here are evidently seeking an all-time record for liquor con- sumption. They are privileged" to drink nine -tenths of the liquor they buy.
 Acting under orders from Super intendent Joseph H. Mclean the em- ergency squad under the leadership of Patrolman Daniel J. Carson swung into special drive. They were assisted by squads of patrol men in charge of Lieutenant James Wagner and Sergeants John Dowl- ing, James Gibbons and Albert Will ton. The raids were staged short ]y after 12 o'clock noon. The ire quenters were mostly factory em- ployes, who dropped in" with their dreams and lunches expressed in numbers.
 The chief contributors to-day to the citys coffers were Thomas Coogan of 2SO Cherry street, who paid total of $210.8O for keeping gambling machines and managing an alleged policy establishment Francis Bart. 22, of 30 River street paid $1OO as writer of policy slips Frank Perugini. 40. of 364 North Main street contributed $2OO fol
