"KiCk-BaCk" Flares
In Gas Hearinu

The "kick-back racket" in labor
wages exploded in the gas valua-
ton hearings before the Public
Utilities Commission today when
the commissions expert witness
Thomas r. Tate, who made up the
commissions valuation of the gas
properties, declared that his fig
ures for construction are not based
on union scale.
The gas companies attorneys
in putting in their figures, had ex-
planned that all their construction
work has been figured at union
wages.
Mr.. Tate, however, declared that
his figures for construction and
for reproduction costs on which
the valuation will be based, were
figured on the June 1882 conStruc.
ton situation. He said:
cat that time 1 learned that
very few contractors were pay
ing the union scale; only a few
on government jobs, and they
were reducing their costs by the
kick-back system, paying union
wages but getting a part of them
back again from the workers"
Gas Company attorneys, led by
Stoddard Stevens, jr., objected to
the Tate statement and to the
Tate theory of valuation. The
commission permitted Mr.. Tate's
statement and figures to remain
in the record,

STEEL LEADERS
CONSIDER CODE
AMENDMENT

Representatives of the steel in
duStry will vote in New York on
code amendments proposed to-
abolish the alleged evils of the
basing point system and to meet
other criticisms.
Under the code, which differs
from other NRA agreements in
that it also sets up a contract be-
tween the members of the in
dustry, all amendments must be
accepted by three-quarterS of the
industry before they can be sub
mitted for Presidential approval.
The basing point system has
been under heavy fire from the
Federal Trade Commission and
the Darrow review board, and
General johnson has admitted
that the code needs revision.
Donald Richberg, general coun-
sci for NRA, said today that the
amendments proposed were de-
cided on after conferences be-
tween NRA and the code commit
tee of the American Iron and Steel
Institute. All the major amend
ments were originated by NRA, he
added.
The chief amendment is under
stood to amplify the basic points
and locate them more closely to
places of production. Some be-
lieve that Detroit, Duluth and
youngstown will be added to the
list.
Other amendments are expected
to abolish the interim of ten days
between the posting and the effec-
tive dates of prices and to allow
for quantity differentals and al
lowance for freight rates by water
transportation.
Mr.. Richberg denied that any
attempt would be made to change
the labor sections of the code.
Complaints Of violation of the col.
lective bargaining clause, re.
ceived from labor representatives,
applied to enforcement, not to the
code itself.

white Collar
Women Hard
To Employ

NEW YORK, May 29.-Most
difficult Of all classes Of the
unemployed to rehabilitate in a
new job is the white collar
woman, according to discoveries
made by the Psychiatric Con-
Sulting Service of the Women's
Division of the Emergency
Work bureau.
The white collar woman, the
investigation, C con.d u C t e d in
1888, the most tense year of
the depression, showed, does
not sublimate her emotions into
her job unless it is congenial
to her. She is valuable if given
employment which uses her
ability to the full and gives
her emotional satisfaction, but
becomes an office rebel # the
work is below her intelligence
and energy. Idle, or in uncon-
genial work, she will brood to
the verge of illness, rendering
herself practically unemploy-
able, the investigators report.
The investigation was con-
Quoted under the direction Of
DR.. Phyllis Greenacre, PSYCHE
artist; Elizabeth G. Brockett,
phychiatric worker, and Mary
c. Summers, social worker in
pSychiatry.

FOREIGN TRADE
OFF IN APRIL

: The value of United States
foreign trade declined in April
$23, ,0O0, 900 from March, but was
$136, 1897, 900 ahead of the CORE
spending month last year, accord
ing to the Commerce Department.
The comparison with April, 1888,
takes no account of the reduced
value of the dollar in terms of for
eign currencies.
The decline in the value of last
months trade was divided almost
equally between exports and i'm
ports. Exports, including re-eXportS,
aggregated SITS, ,444,000, compared
with $191,O15 900 in March. Gen
eral imports droped to $146,517, 900
from $157 ,908,O0C for the preced-
ing month.
The resulting net export balance
of $32,927 900 was less than in
March by $180,00O.
The April decline of 6 per cent
in exports was in accord with the
usual seasonal change for the
month, the adjusted index remain
ing unchanged at so per cent Of
the 1923-25 average. A consider
able part of the decline was caused
by a reduction in foreign ship
ments of manufactured cotton.
General imports, which usually
decline about 3 per cent in this
period, fell off Z per cent, the
adjusted index dropping back to
the February level, or AZ per cent
OF the 1923-1925 average.
, Exports of United States mer.
Schandise and imports for consump.
:tion for April aggregated $176, ,499,. ;.
1000 and $141,137, 900, respectively.
Goods entered upon arrival in the
United States during April were
valued at $124,117, 900, and with

valued at $17,O2O,OOO,

CLOTH MARKET DULL

buyers continuing to show little or no
interest in goods, the coarse yarn cloths
market experienced another dull session
today. Reports indicated several in
stances where mills were willing to sell
beyond 80 days without the protective
up-and-down clause, but this was not
general. most mills insisting upon the
protection the clause offers. The few
willing to do business on that basis
were thought to have been motivated
by the attitude in Washington with
reference to labor leaders seeking 40
hour wages for 80 hours work. de.
velopment of interest was the statement
on good authority that ordinary shut
downs, because of holidays, lack OF
orders or for other normal reasons, would
be credited to mills against the ordered
curtailment.

PUBLIC BLAMED
by THORPEFOR
BANK CRISIS

WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS,
W. Va, May 29.-Fear on the
part Of the public caused the bank
crisis and led to much criticism
of bankers and banking machin-
cry, Merle Thorpe, editor Of
Nations Business, told the Dis
trict of Columbia Bankers Asso-
citation here today.
Brunt Borne BY Bankers
Mr.. Thorpe said bankers have
borne the brunt Of the general
undertaking which has been going
on, adding:
"There is no closed season
for the banker. He has always
been fair game for the dema-
gOgue.
"Artemus Ward, writing in
1860, said:
"'The Western bankers air q
sweet and luvly lot. / wish l
owned as good q house as some
of them would break intO.'"
The editor said that this wheeze
was doubtless as popular rs years
ago as the one now to the effect
that the man who killed banker
by accident received a bounty at
the courthouse.
Sound Policies Welded
Real Improvement will come
from consideration Of banking
fundamentals and sound public
policies, Mr.. Thorpe added, rather
than surface symptoms or super
ficialities. He said:
"GOOd banks are the products
Of properly equipped, farSeeing
men Of high professional stand
ards with a keen sense of public
interest.
"But good banks can be
weakened, and even wrecked, by
agencies beyond their control,
such as unwise governmental
credit or currency policies, puni-
tive repression of business de-
veIOpment, Slander and hyS-
teria."
He said that the banker should
not be expected, any more than
any other man, to foresee the
unforeSeeable or to predict the
alnpredictable.
] Mr.. Thorpe continued:
) ut is my observation at
! Washington that many sO-called
reforms !. are urged because Of
: resentment against the Occa-
; SiOnal banker, who, by crooked.
/ ness or bad judgment, has
: brought ruin to his institution.
; The desire is to punish bankers
squite as much as it is to safe
guard banks. Such a motive is
scarcely conducive to sound
I banking legislation"

BOOM IN WHEAT.
HELD M|XED
BLESSING
By WALL STREET SPECTATOR

NEW YORK, May % Q.N.S0
The market is bringing little
more reinsurance around, but
traders still will need lots of coax
ing to do more than cheer.
The boom in wheat is a mixed
blessing, since it is likely to hurt
the trade picture, but is having
some speculative influence.
Added to this is a better feel
ing regarding the general bust
ness and legislative situation.
The prolonged decline has been
a blow, though, and it will take
some time to heal the wounds.
There is further talk about a
better brand of buying in the
market in the last few days. We
hear Cornelius Kelley, head Of
Anaconda, took his first plane
ride the other day, going to
Chicago, and that he became
enthusiastic over air travel. Mr..
Kelley is in his sixties.
Oil men forecast that the 81
extra on International Petroleum
will be a permanent payment.
This will benefit Standard Of
New Jersey, which controls In
ternational through Imperial Oil.
Pneumatic Tool must be benefit
ing from the public works pro-
gram along with other COM
panies, but the stock hasn't had
high reputation marketwise in
the last few years. The PWA, it
is predicted, will speed up its
equipment buying program this
summer.
This talk about a 10-cent dollar
is said to be the idea of the
Boston operator who is now in
London.
