j. s. SHIPPING HIT
BY GERMAN RULE
Consul MeSseFamith to Make
Report Regarding Dis
ordinations.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BERLIN, August 12-George S. Mes
sersmith, United States consul general,
decided yesterday to make report to
the State Department IN Washington
regarding determinations against for
eign shipping companies contained in
a recent order whereby steamship COM
panies will transfer only 200 marks
tabout S64 of passage money per pas
senger to the home Office.
After conferences with representa-
tives OF American companies and
United States Ambassador William E.
Dodd. Messersmith decided to take this
course rather than to approach the
German ministry Of economics. He
will ask instructions from Washington
An official German statement yester-
day said the ruling was not a new de-
parture but merely intended to bring
non-German steamship offices in line
with tourist agencies to which the same
restrictions apply in SO far as no special
mutual agreements between Germany
and other countries existed.
The viewpoint of Americans, how
ever. is that the measure constitutes
a clear infringement of international
practice and direct discrimination
against non-German companies whose
German Offices would be reduced to the
status of mere information bureaus.
Moreover. American companies only
have few Offices in Germany. whereas
the German lines have scores in the
United States.
Incidentally. German shipping shares
rose sharply on the Berlin Stock Ex-
change in expectation of increased
passenger traffic.

Illinoisans gathered for observance of
the day set aside for them at a Gen.
tury Of Progress, were taken yesterday
by Speaker Of the House of Representa-
tives Henry T. Rainey for an attack
upon the st. Lawrence Waterway treaty.
Speaking on program which also
included Gov. Henry Horner, Rainey
described the treaty as one of the para
mount defeats of American statesman
ship and predicted it would not be ap-
proved by the Senate.
I'VE have never suffered a diplomatic
defeat in any conference greater than
We suffered in the st. Lawrence Wa
terWay Conference" he said Those
pleasant Canadian gentlemen in the
field of diplomacy have beaten U.S."
Besides giving Canada equal naviga-
ton rights on Lake Michigan, he said
the treaty let that country eff with
paying only S38 100000 of the cost of
the proposed project. while the United
States agreed to pay S243,000,Oo0 and
to allow Canadian labor and materials
to be used
In addition, Speaker Rainey attacked
the purpose of the waterway and cited
an instance 35 years ago when, he said.
an attempt to make Chicago a port of
ocean-going ships proved unsuccessful.
The shipping conditions of 35 years
ago have not materially changed" he
said, "and there can be no return cargo
from oversee points across the Atlantic

Government to supply the needs of the

During the current year. it is the
departments earnest hope that there
will be substantial recovery in the
post office business, and that We will
have sufficient revenues of our own to
make it possible to get along without
making any substantial draft upon the

The trouble is simply this: The

toned.
Two years ago she got Lit up. That
was the Army's doings. The Army
spent about $4,000, and the lady of
Bedloe's Island was lit like the marquee

that sort of thing, to make her lovely
by night as she is lovely by day.
The Army was extremely proud.
nothing is too good for its women folk.
Unfortunately, some gentlemen in
Washington became impressed with a
need for economy. They looked over
the books and came upon that item of
$4,000 for prettying the lady of Bed
Ioe's Island. Forty thousand dollars
just to get lady properly lit. Pre-
posterous!

IN. R. A. PERSONNEL /
| TO Be HELD DOWN
Increase 80 a Day, but John-
son Says Work Will Not
Be Top-Heavy.

Although the personnel Of the Nas
tional Industrial Recovery Administra.
ton Is increasing, for the time being,
at the rate of 80 workers a day, Ad-
ministrator Hugh S. johnson reiterated
yesterday that he expected to avoid hav-
ing "topheavy" organization. He said
the staff now numbers 450 officials and
clerical workers.
The administrator emphasized that
many Of the workers were on a tenn
porary basis and would be dismissed
as soon as the rush period is over.
The permanent staff, he declared, would
number a fraction" larger than the
$50 now employed.
Asked if his staff would be as large
as the PUBLIC Works Administration,
which announced a few days ago it
johnson said 'it will be nowhere near
as large" He added:
THE present size of my staff has
been brought about by the rush of code
work. Many of the employees are on
a temporary basis and will continue in
this status until the rush is over"
In the meantime, other officials of
the administration issued a denial to
reports in circulation here that Mrs.
Hugh S. Johnson, wife of the admin
istrator, was receiving compensation or
expense money for serving as mem
Der of one of the advisory boards. They
emphasized that Mrs. johnson is con-
nected with administration only in a
voluntary capacity
In this connection it was brought out
that Mrs. johnson is not the only
member Of the administrators staff
working gratis for the Government. 1t
was stated officially that six deputy ad-
ministrators have requested that their
names be left off the pay roll. Each
was slated for $4,000 annually.
Charles Nicholson, who has the tre-
mendous duty of educating the public
on the antics Of the blue eagle as chief
of the big Press Bureau, said he was
not on the recovery pay roll nor had
he been on Government pay roll since
President Roosevelt took office.
His compensation continued to come
to him through the Democratic Ma
tional Committee for publicity work, he
said.

I might say it was a very clever

CHICAGO, August 12.-Even if the
national industrial recovery act accom-
plishes nothing else, says John Lam
desco, University of Chicago sociologist
and criminologist, it will give the
American business man chance to
go straight"
Landesco's studies and writings have
brought him recognition as an expert
on the economic aspects of racke-
teering
He sees an opportunity for business
to substitute the recovery act, with
its governmental sock on the nose
threat to cut-throat competitors and
cheaters, for some of the racketeering
strong arm methods which have been
utilized in recent years to keep outlaws
In line
Antitrust and restraint of trade
laws of this country have been reSpon-
sible for preventing stabilization, in
a legitimate manner, of prices and
conditions in many of our trades,
LandeSco says. land as result, coercion
and violence have cropped out.
Now the recovery act, its section
five exempting from the antitrust laws
those firms participating in open cove
nants as to hours, wages and prices
makes coercion and violence unneces-
sary, for codified industry can pro-
vide its own official and approved pen
alties for the unfair competitor, wheth-
er or not the latter has signed the
covenant
1T is going to teach the fellow who
couldn't keep his word to do SO. if
necessary by a sock on the nose as
Gen. Hugh S. johnson put it," Lam
desco declares.
Attorney Rush C. Butler, who. as
chairman of the Commerce Committee
of the American Bar Association since
1927, has led that groups efforts to
have the antitrust laws amended, sees
the recovery act as pushing those laws
into the discard.
II think that. regardless of the con-
tinuation or the termination of the
recovery act at the end of it's two-year
period it will mean the discarding of
the Sherman law or at least its modifi-
cation SO as not to balk intelligent
efforts to stabilize industry" Butler
says.

On smart Fifth avenue, industrial
Seventh avenue, Broadway, at the Lit
tie Shop Around the Corner-.he same
story was told, story of good prop
osition," measured without sentiment
on the business yardstick.
Increased costs Of operation now
were held to presage greater business
returns as buying power was increased
over on Seventh avenue. in the heart
CT the textile and garment district, Will
liam Hertz president of typical Smal II
manufacturing company, phrased it
thus:
SEES Future Success.
Our code has cut my production %
per cent and raised salary costs about
Is per cent. Raw materials are cost
ing me twice as much as they did four
months ago. But we are going along
All this country needs is purchasing
power-we have everything else. This
thing is costing me plenty now, but it
locks good in the end
The manager of a Fifth avenue de-
partnent store said:
THE N. R. A. an investment. We
are losing money on it now and eX-
pect to lcse more for at least three
months. But we are able to do it.
We and other big firms can hold the
bag for a while until people get back
to work When they do, average sales
will jump and that means pay rolls
will follow"
This store raised salaries 10 per cent
on the strength of the recovery pro-
gram.
May Add 1000 Workers.
Down on Broadway large depart
ment store is anticipating the addition
of another 1000 employees to its 10000
workers in September when the con-
Germ returns to the normal six-day week.
On the Broadway rialto. theater
owners regard the Blue Eagle as the
box office hit of the year.
An executive of movie corporation
put it into words:
There is no industry that can be
benefited as much as the picture in
dustry. More pay and more leisure
hours makes more picturegoers. The
great motion picture fans of the coun-
try are those who are directly affected
by the N. R. A.-the office boy the
stenographer, almost every one between
Is and 30.''
Little Fellow" a Question,
And the little fellow?" Everywhere
large business firms are wondering
about him-will he abide by the spirit
of the program?
In the aggregate, the little inde--
pendent-the fellow nobody ever heard
of-can wreck the whole thing by under
selling and evasion" said Delos Walker,
general manager of large department
store.
Here is an example of what the small
shop owner is doing, apparently typical.
Herbert's Optical Shop, Inc. had one
employe. 1t signed the Presidents code
and at once added part-time worker.
Pay and hours both were well within
code provisions.
