 STEVEDORE BILLS
 SO HE LOST JOB
Former Steamship Co Enl'
 ploye Testified Before Pr0bers To-day

Washington, Oct 6.--(UP)- Benjamin B. Hartnett, former em- ploye of the Black Diamond Steamship company testified before senate Investigators of ocean mail contracts to-day that he had been asked to resign from the Black Diamond in 1922 because he re- fused to approve "padded" steve- doring bills to the shipping board. Hartnett testified that his resig- nation was asked by J. D. Docken- dorff, company official and in- volved an alleged overcharge of $52 to $62 to offset loans made to Steve" O'Connor, son of T. V. o'Connor, shipping board chair man.
 The witness testified that he had protested such padding while he was in charge of steve1orisS for the the Black Diamond. It was accomplished, he said by charging for overtime not actually per- formed.
 When he refused to approve the item which led to his resignation Harnett said he was called before Dockendorff and told he needn't lean backward to be honest"
 The witness said he told Docken- dorff that 1t was "petty larceny and I wouldn't be party to it." Tho shipping official then ac. ctised him of not "cooperating" and asked his resignation, Harnett continued. The item situation in- volved in the incident leading to his resignation, he added had been preceded by similar occurrences.
 Shortly afterward Steve" o. Connor was transferred back to the Washington office of the shipping board where he was in charge of the stevedoring. Harnett him. self, he said obtained position with the shipping board after leav- ing the Black Diamond and worked there in various capacities until August.

 The trouble, they say, is In low cred credits, which have shrunk from 63 1-2 billion dollars in 1929 10 45 billions today. Credit, not cash. is the medium of 90 per cent of business.
 Hence President Roosevelta new drive to expand and stimulate credit instead of move 10 'h' fate the currency.
 Each Accuses Other Even today there is no shortage of valuable bank credit. The banks have tremendous credit res sources, The bankers say there is no shortage of credit, but c shortage of qualified borrowers The borrowers retort that the banks fix these qualifications, that they have made them uduly harsh and that business Is suffer- ing as the result. The banks side of 1t is that the banks have to pro- tect their depositors.
 Meanwhile, bank credit has failed to expand as vigorously as desired. To hasten this expansion Is the present objective of the ad- ministration.
 But imitation, says those who sponsor 1t, is the way out. whether this would restore prosperity or start us on a road that would lead to chaos and ruin, like that Tn Germany ten years ago (where money finally became as worth. less as waste paper), Is something that you will have to figure out for yoursel.
 Even the experts can't agree.

"The people will be able to se- cure money with which to pay taxes, interest, and debts"
 Credit Seen AS Key
 Opponents of imitation declare the mere issuance of additional money Is not the answer. to the problem. The difficulty, they say, lies fin stagnated credits, which President Roosevelt Is trying to accelerate.
 There actually is more cash and currency in technical circulation today than there was in the boom days of 1929 - 5,600.000,000

So many complicated factors en- ter into this problem, laden with the possibility of all sorts or economic dynamite, that 1t is im- possible to make answers except In general terms.
 Here's Effect On You
 But let's suppose, for the sake of q simple illustration, that President Roosevelt should. start the printing presses whirling to. morrow and double the amount Of money in circulation and that, as d matter of reaction, the flow or ha kncredit likewise would double. < Here's where you likely would get off:
 IF YOU ARE A SALAR1ED MAN -- You would find, perhaps, that your cost of living would dou- hle as prices went up. Theoretical- jy you would get a raise as your employers business improved - but if you are making $50 q week, how long do you suppose 1t would De before your boss raised you to S100?
 IF YOU ARE A WAGE EARN FIR Your chances for getting q raise and keeping up with the pro- cession would be somewhat better, because wage scales usually roc spond to economic changes more quickly than do fixed salaries.
 IF YOU ARE UNEMPLOYED - Your chances for getting Q job would be very much better indeed as business picked up under the spur of imitation.
 IT YOU ARE A MERCHANT = If you could keep your prices flexible and advance them as the market rose, you should prosper. Merchandise would be moro deslr- able than money and 1t would be 10 your interest to acquire stocks of goods, as the debt could be paid off later with cheaper dollars. II your prices are inflexible, you will be out of luck.
 Should Help Farmer IF YOU ARE A FARMER-The farmer was first to feel the deflation, was hardest hit by it., and, conversely, he should be one of the first to feel the effects of in. fiation and enjoy the greatest ben- efits as commodity prices soar. This increased income should make it easier for the farmer to pay off his mortgage and other fixed debts.
 -IF YOU ARE BUYING A HOME = It should be much easier for you to pay out (assuming you get your share of the new dollars), because your old debt could be paid off with these cheaper dollars.
 = IF YOU OWN YOUR HOME - You would neither gain nor lose if you should sell 1t, probably, It would bring higher price. but this would be offset by the lower pur- chasing power of the dollars you received.
 < IF YOU ARE AN INVESTOR Your common stocks Representing partnership in the business) should rise, perhaps sharply. Your bonds Representing merely debt owed you) would remain about station ary, or more likely decline slightly, because bonds would be less at- tractive, as their value is set in q fixed number of dollars. Preferred stocks and mortgages would react very much the same as bonds. Savings Would Lose
 YOUR BANK ACCOUNT -- The Purchasing power of your savings would be cut to the extent that the value of the dollar was reduced. 2 YOUR DEBTS OF ALL KINDS
