FOOLISH PRICE JUMPS
Heimann Declares That Earnings
Alone Keep Employment and
Wages Sustained.

The most severe indictment that
could occur against industry would be
a conviction of foolhardy price in
creases," declares Henry H. Heimann,
executive manager CT the National AS
sociaticn of Credit Men. in his monthly
review of business. sent to the associa-
tons 10000 members. including the
Washington association.
Industry must not overlook the fact
that for over a decade it has asked
for an opportunity to regulate itself.
It now has the authority to regulate it
self and If it is unsuccessful in its ef-
fort the only conclusion that could be
reached is that the opportunity was
given to industry prematurely and that
It was not sufficiently cooperative or
broad visioned to deserve it.
"The industrial recovery act is not
governmental regulation. 1t is legisla-
ton permitting industrial self-discipline
under governmental authority. If this
fact is constantly kept in mind, indus
try may interpret the act in better
fashion"
Pointing out that the basis of all
wages and employment is found in
earnings, the credit head says that
without these you cannot sustain
wages or employment"

civ Is About month Ahead
of Other Areas Due to
Cooperation.
ipeciaI Dispatcb to The Star.

BALTIMORE, November 4-Employ-
ers, both commercial and industrial
are showing a gratifying willingness
here to cooperate with the N. R. A
Compliance Board. according to w. B
Lyon, executive secretary. And in turn
the Baltimore board is about a month
ahead of the rest of the country in
organization, it is said.
Every complaint brought before the
board has been adjusted by the board
without the necessity of any appeal to
the force of law The only appeals
to Washington have been for inter-
pretations.
Mr.. Lyon was asked if the N. R. A
regulations have enough teeth in
them to prove effective.
Threats Unnecessary.
Frankly, We do not know yet" he
answered. I'VE have had no occasion
yet even to threaten prosecution or
force of any kind So far, all COM
plants have been adjusted Zight here,
with cooperation of the complainants
and the employer against whom the
complaint was registered.
IF any situation does develop where
force seems necessary. the board will
refer the matter to Washington"
Mr. Lyon said that about 200 COM
plants have been registered with the
Compliance Board since the lst Of
october when it took over the duties
Of the old N r. A. Grievance Com
mittee.
They have been decreasing in num-
ber lately" he said, but increasing in
importance as the different trades
adopt their permanent codes.
The chief difficulty is in the inter-
probation of the provisions Of the codes,
and usually the trouble is ironed out
when authoritative interpretations are
obtained.
Praises Cooperation.
$50 far We have had no nasty propo-
sitions. and the merchants and plant
managers Of the city have shown graft
flying willingness to cooperate"
Mr.. Lyon stated that Baltimore Is
about month ahead Of the rest of
the country in operation of the Com
pliance Board. as 1t was first to COM
plete its employment check-up. the
consumer pledge campaign and other
features of the first phase of the N.
r. A. movement.
Consumers have not begun to COM

ENDISPRED|CTED
FOR WORLD BANK
WITHIN SHORT TIME
Official Washington Believes
Gold Tang|e Blocks Fur
ther Operation.
BY CHAS. P. SHAEFFER.

!
Official Washington is predicting an
early demise Of the Bank for Interna-
tional Settlements.
The institution, it is said, now finds
itself in the rather incongruous position
of being virtually without resources or
funds. Il was organized for the primary
purpose of handling reparation pay
ments from Germany, which were then
used by the bank to finance deliveries
In kind and 10 make payments on inter-
allied debts to the United States.
stan Given Notice.
The crisis in which the bank finds
itself was indicated recently when the
entire staff received notice that their
contracts would expire on next March
81 The reason given for this pre-
cautionary notice was the desire to cut
down personnel and to reduce salaries.
Prior to suspension Of reparations the
bank had become the central agency
for foreign exchange deposits of central
banks, which held on deposit with the
bank a large part of such reserves
against notes In circulation which they
had not converted into gold. Since the
suspension of the gold standard by Eng
lana, however, Illt Use VI AOl ClSh Ca
change as reserves has become dis
credited
As a result of these events the func-
tion of the bank as center of influence
and place for the exchange OF opinions
between the banks has lost much Of its
significance.
Balance Dwindles.
In May, 1881, the bank had balance
of about s425, 100 900. which had
dwindled to about $500, 900 900 measured
in terms OF gold, at the end Of 1892. AT
the end of September the amount had
shrunk to s134OOO.0O0. The greatest
part of the balance is made up of capi-
tai, reserves and the deposit quotas OF
Germany and Of the reparation credi-
tors. as provided in the Hague agree
ment.
The great hopes which were associated
with the establishment Of the bank in
1890 failed to materialize. American
experts hold, because in place of CO.
operation among the various currency
systems there ensued a war.

GOLD CONTINUES
TO LEAVE FRANCE
Paris Still Holds Huge Total
of Metal With u. S.
and Britain.
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, November 4-Notwith-
standing the announced determination
Of all responsible French leaders to
maintain the gold standard the Bank
Of France has now been losing gold
for eight consecutive weeks. The drop
this week of 754 ,0o0, 900 francs was the
largest of the series. During this
period the decrease has been 1,245,-
100000 francs, or s48,804, 600 at par
Of exchange.
The French gold reserve still is more
than 623,000 900 francs above the low
OF the year and still enormously large.
The exact amount, as of November 2.
the franc of 3.92 cents, this is equiv
alent to s3,l76,454,4 400.
United States Position Cited.
Now look at the position in the United
States and In Great Britain. The Fed
eral Reserve reported this week total
gold holdings for the system of $751;
$685. 600, against the record high on
October 18 of s3.5s2 os4 600. The bank
OF England a week earlier reported the
largest gold reserve in its history and
the decrease this week is negligible.
AT par for the pound the amount is
around sSO0,OO0,00O.
One or two inferences from these
ngures are worth noting. The first is
that the strength in the franc this week
has been In spite of the loss of gold.
The depreciation in the dollar has more
than neutralized the natural effect on
the franc of the gold drain on the Bank
OF France. 1t is admitted that, should
France by any chance be forced to en-
parSo gold, there would be no way of
measuring dollar depreciation. for in
that event Switzerland and Holland also
would surely be forced off gold. But
even as 1t is. the yardstick by which the
is not entirely trustworthy.
Goes Into Hiding Mostly.
Going a step further, the reason the
Bank Of France has been losing gold is
the possibility II not the probability of
suspension Of gold payments. The gold
that was Withdrawn cannot be traced
but some Of it went into hiding, either
on the continent or in London In all
OF this we have one answer to the ques-
tion often asked of late: What would be
the value of gold if all nations should
abandon it? 1t is that given by the
hoarders. who. by their actions if not
their logic, say that gold would still be
the one valuable thing
Another deduction suggests itself.
With these three central banks (consid-
ering the Federal Reserve System as a
central bank) holding so large a pro-
portion Of the total world supply of
gold, 1t Is unreasonable to suppose that
France or Great Britain or the United
States would ever take or agree to take
any action that would seriously impair
the value Of their own holdings. On
the contrary the United States is doing
all it can to add to its supply of gold
and that almost regardless of cost.

The market finished generally 20 to
40 cents lower than last Saturday, due
chiefly to the fact that the major pack

the processing tax becomes effective
next week.
Cattle were nominally steady with the
market ranging 25 to 40 cents lower
