PUBLIC WORKS
URGED UPON
UNCLE SAM

Americas economic troubles
are man.made and constitute "a
serious indictment of manage
ment in the large" Merryle
Stanley Rukeyser, noted New
York financial writer, declared
today before the Metcalf sub
committee on education and Ia.
Dor, which Is considering the La
Toilette $500, ,000, 900 prosperity
bond issue bill to finance pub
lie works construction program.
Urges Big Program
Rukeyser advocated that the
United States Government r'nme
diately launch a public construc
ton program as one of the logl-
cal steps toward economic re-
covery. He said:
Instead Of being merely the
cheer leader for business, the
Government could break the
deadlock by authorizing a far
flung plan of public cOnstruc-
ton over a period of years,
starting as soon as possible
with plans which arc ready
and available. In order to regl-
ment the forces of recOnStruc-
ton and overcome the factors
making for timidity, Congress
ought to use Federal credit
boldly.
"An authorization Of $5,5OO,-
OOCl. 600 would be in order, but
to minimize adverse effects on
the bond market Congress
cOuId limit the actual spending
and raising Of the money TO a
billion dollars a year for five
years."
.Rukeyser told the committee he
had recently completed a 1000
mile tour from coast to coast and
found no impairment OF the
physical equipment Of the pro
ductive machinery Of the indus
tries Of the United States.
Drop Is FOreseen
Construction work in the
United States will drop to 40 per
cent of normal this year unless
a national public works construc-
ton program is Immediately I'M.
dertaken, r. C. Marshall, jr., OF
New York, wartime chief Of the
construction division of the army,
told the committee. He said:
'Tt appears probable that
public works construction for
1882 will be around four billion
dollars, or less than so per cent
of its normal, a drop off OF
public works to so per cent will
almost certainly drop the en-
tire construction industry to
about 40 per cent Of its nor

kUNZ. ENTITLED
To HOUSE SEAT

Stanley Kunz CD is entitled
to represent the Eighth Illinois
district in Congress instead Of
Peter Granata, the Republican
incumbent, the Kerr elections
committee of the House declared
today. The decision will be re-
ported to the House on Monday.
The vote was to 3 and was
cast on straight party lines. The
minority Republican group will
file a separate report.
Granata had been allowed to
take his seat at the opening of
the Seventy-second Congress when
he presented a certificate of elec-
ton from the Illinois Secretary
of State. He claimed a majority
of 1,171 votes, as certified by the
Illinois election canvassing board.
Kunz demanded the seat on
the grounds that he had not
received the votes of straight
Democratic ballots. The recount
requested by Kunz showed he
had a majority of 1,188.

Of MEXICO

MEXICO CITY, Sept. / G.N.SJ
Al sensation was caused in po-
litical circles today with. the dis
closure that President Pascual
Ortiz Rubio will retire from his
post tomorrow after opening the
new session Of congress.
The president, 1t was learned
from relieble authority, will sum
up the achievements Of his ad.
ministration in his address before
congress tonight, but will with
hold announcement Of his resig-
nation until the cabinet meets
tomorrow.
"A provision president, who will
serve until the expiration of Presi-
dent Ortiz Rubio'S term on No
vember 80, 1884, will be desig-
mated by Congress on Saturday
Two names top the list of candi-
dates. They are Alberto j. PAM,
present minister of finance, and
General Abelardo Rodriguez, min
lister of war and former governor
Of lower California. PAM was con-
sidered the most likely choice for

Of REPEAL
ON j. S. ESTIMATED
Many Varied Views Held.
Slight Benefits Seen for
Farmers.
BY CHAS. p. SHAEFFER,
Associated Press Business writer.


The all-important question of how
many men would be put to work If
liquor is legalized is, and has been, a
moot question, with many and varied
answers. The average number of en-
ployes In breweries and in malt plants
in the peak year of 1914 amounted to
slightly more than $4,000, with $500
more finding employment in spirituous
and liquor plants. The Association
Against the Prohibition Amendment
declares that before prohibition a total
of 10l 900 persons also were finding
employment as bartenders and an addi-
tional $4,000 were saloonkeepers.
Any increase in employment would
necessarily be cut through displacement
OF workers in non-alcoholic trade and
in the manufacture Of illicit beverages.
On the other hand, there would be an
increase OF workers in auxiliary lines
to the liquor trade, such as barrels.
bottles. caps, etc.
The probable benefits to farmers in
disposition of their crops is placed by
some at less than l per cent Corn
used in the manufacture of beer has
been estimated at around 10000
bushels, as compared with a production
in 1882 of 100000, 900 bushels. De-
mand for barley under liquor legaliza-
tton would consume about 10000, 900
bushels yearly, it has been said, which
amount is double present demand. Rye
and hops would come in for an in
creased demand, but these, 1t has been
pointed out, are minor crops.

Coal Exports Depressed.

Increases in Canadian coal tariffs,
coupled with the depreciation of Cana
dian and British currencies, have de-
pressed bituminous coal exports from
the United States to Canada to less
than 100000 tons for the first nine
months of 1882, j. F. Callbreath, secre-
tary of the American Mining Congress,
declares
Canada produces less than half of its
bituminous coal requirements, the def
cit normally being supplied by United
States mines" he said. In 1929, Can
ada imported bituminous from the
United States amounting to 14.470.00
tons as compared with 115,000 tons
from Great Britain. But in the first
nine months of 1882 only 5,513,000 tons
came in from the United States against
100000 net tons from Great Britain.
Anthracite coal, however, decreased
only about one-third in tonnage. Brit
ish exports are increasing, while United
States exports to Canada are decreas-

NEW YORK, November 22.-While
independent radio manufacturers ''lis-
tened in" with considerable satisfaction
to the announcement that Radio Cor
poration of America will be divorced
from General Electric and the West
inghouse Electric & Manufacturing Co..
most Of them were of the opinion that
sales as well as suits are of Importance
just now.
Effect Is Uncertain.
Owing to business conditions, stats
tlcal observers estimate that the indus
try's sales and dollar volumes for 1882
VIII be of somewhere around 30 per
cent.
Whether the settlement Of the Gov
ernment's suit and general clarifica-
ton OF the radio air will act as a spur
TO new inventions and modify price
structures to the advantage of the in
ouStry is a matter OF conjecture.
Various improvements have been
made in receiving sets and all manu-
facturers are watching television. This
latter development, it is said, has not
quite reached the commercial stage
and, until 1t does, few startling innova-
tions are expected by wireless experts.
Look to Foreign Field.
Manufacturers are looking hopefully
toward the foreign field, in the mean
time, and to growing demand in
America. The Department of Com
merce last year estimated that the
world, outside the United States. had
only some 13,500,000 radio sets. There
are said to be around 1900, 1000 radios
operating In America. At the same
time, though, the present outlook in this
direction is not too bright, owing to
disturbed economic conditions abroad.

STOCK PRICES OFF
IN CLOSING HOUR
Little Significance Seen in
Easier Tone Because of
Small Volume.

pecial Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, November 22.-Ffrm
most of the session, today's stock mar
ket shaded prices in the last hour and
closed a trif1e lower.
Volume was so small, however, that
no significance could be attached to
the movement. 1t was still case of
waiting on Washington.
Sterling exchange sold at new
years low at the opening Of business
on this side, but it recovered the loss
and was unchanged in mid-afternoon.
Wheat advanced quite sharply at one
time and although reacting partially
thereafter, 1t closed higher. Liquida-
tion in December sugar carried that
future down points and affected sym
pathetically other positions. Cotton
was virtually unchanged at the end.
The market opened with slight pre-
ponderance of declines, but the losses
were soon made up. and thereafter all
through the morning changes were
fractional and the list, as a whole,
was never far away from the preceding
close. Sterling exchange opened here
at S3.261s, new low for the year and
the lowest since last December. Pre-
sumably much of the selling was spec
ulative commitments for the decline.
However that may be, it had no effect
on stocks.
Wheat also rallied in Chicago, the
December option being up IA cents
by midday, likewise disregarding weak
ness in the British pound. This was
another sustaining influence In the
stock market during the early trading.
The conservative element was not IN
clined to make too much OF the re-
sistance put. up by prices in view OF
the small turnover 1t was encourag-
ing as far as it went, but the move
ment could easily be reversed on un-
favorable Washington advices.
Fluctuations in individual stocks re-
vealed few features. Mcintyre Porcu-
pine Mining reacted fractionally aIter
its sharp advance of the two preceding
sessions. The Street heard that there
was possibility Of merger with some
other gold producer, but that story
lacked confirmation, as did the one that
the dividend was to be increased. In
general. the metal stocks were heavy.
Shorts covered in the more active In
dustrials. Auburn Auto was up over
point and in the railroad list Atchlson
and Union Pacific rallied slightly. Nor
folk g. Western advanced on one or two
sales. The best showing today was
made by the oil stocks, with Seaboard
Oil the leader in new high ground. Do
mestic crude oil output for the week
ended November 19 decreased 9,91O
barrels in the daily average from the
preceding week The total was 2,117,
i33 barrels, which compares with q
442,993 barrels in the corresponding
week year ago.
Zonite Products omitted the quarter
lv dividend on the common stock due
at this time. The regular rates were
declared on Kresge common, Peoples

NEW YORK, November a.
The present boom in gold mining

One trust officer said today
that invariably the dusting of Of
such antiquated securities brings
to light a few that have some

casionally some gold mining Ger

Experiment in Textiles.
An experiment in selective selling Is
to be undertaken by group Of textile
manufacturers and wholesalers.
Under the direction of the Wholesale
Dry Goods Institute, each manufac-
turer will select one wholesaler to han
die his product in a given district,
rather than any number Of wholesalers
carrying competitive lines. 1t is claimed
that with wholesalers carrying an un-
limited number of competing items in
the same field, the manufactures vari-
GUS brands do not receive the deserved
attention. Preparations are under way
to form a set-up of cooperating COM
panies to inaugurate selective distribu-
tion in a given laboratory district.
The Wholesale Institute contends
that the entire industry will suffer until
"the producer realizes that what he
needs is fewer and better distributors
and those distributors placed upon a
definite collaborative relationship with
his plant" The wholesaler, under the
plan, will, in turn, surrender his liberty
to an unlimited selection Of competing
items and confine himself to definite
group of lines. definitely relating his
operations to the source of supply Of
these lines.
