CANADIAN INDUSTRY
EMPLOYMENT GAINS
Manufacturing Leads in Improve
ment, With 1855
Added.

OTTAWA, Canada.-Industrial en-
ployment in Canada shows striking
gains, according to the Federal Bu-
reau of Statistics, 8499 employers re-
porting that they enlarged their staffs
from 849,056 on February to 86l, ,044
on March /.
This advance was considerably above
the average and exceeds that noted
on March l of any year except 1922.
The index (based on the 1926 av-
erage of 100) rose from Ola on Febru-
ary l to 927 on March l.
The greatest gains occurred in
manufacturing, in which 1885 addi-
tional persons were employed The
increases in the textile field were the
largest on March l thus far recorded.
Among the non manufacturing indus
tries there were advances in metallic
ore mining, retail trade, transporta-
ton and building, highway and rail-
way construction.
On the other hand, logging reported
considerable declines, marking the
completion of the seasons operations
in many camps. Coal mining and
wholesale trade also released en-
ployes.

DISCUSSES ROGERS
INQUIRY IN CHINA
Senator Ebert Thomas of
Utah Speaks to Women's
Democratic Club.

Senator Ebert Thomas of Utah,
speaking before the Women's Ma
tionaI Democratic Club here yester-
day, discussed the trip which Prof.
Rogers is making to China, at the in
stance of the administration, to study
the silver question and what effect re-
monetization of silver will have on
the trade of the United States with
the Orient.
Senator Thomas said in part:
ut has been pointed out that When
ever there has been agitation in Con-
gress for the reconciliation of silver
there have always been delaying in
vestigationS and investigators. 1t has
also been said that there are many in
America who know something about
China whom Prof. Rogers might inter-
view.
Il am not going to be one of those
who criticiZes Prof. Rogers trip. l am
going to point out a few things that
Prof Rogers may discover and accept
his mission as a constructive mission
of far-reaching effect.
First, he is going to find that none
OF his small business men and none
of his small workers will know what
he is talking about when he asks them
whether they think remonetiZation of
silver in the United States will help
or hurt our trade with China. This is
not a disparagement Of China or
Chinese learning 1t is merely a re-
Election which comes to one who is
willing to ask the question, How many
small business men and how many
workers in any other part Of the world
can answer Prof. Rogers questions so
that he can make a scientific deduc-
ton?
HE will find not one money system
in China. There are very many more
than one system of money and one
kind of money in the United States,
but we at least have a single govern
mentally controlled currency system.
In China he will find everything that
men have known in the whole history
of money, from the simplest element
Of token money to the highest devel-
oped system of exchange and the most
modern banking ideas of finance in
the world He will find different
paper money used in every province.
and he will see the Chinese money
changers trained not only in the
moneys of their own land but in the
moneys of the whole world. And he
will observe for the first time in his
life money technique which We have
not yet dreamed of here. He will find
as he travels from province to
province that his money is discounted
at the border"

 When he left the White House La Guardia said:
 With the presidents permission can say we reviewed the whole utility question in New York City and found the City of New York and the federal government have a great deal in common.
 We have decided to approach this question as any business man would. seeking service at the low est possible price.
 The president suggested that Basil Manly of the federal power commission, Maurice Davidson, Ad- miral R. E. Bakenhus and myself confer with Secretary Ickes.
 Plans Will Be Started
 "The subject will be thoroughly studied and plans formulated for construction of a plant to serve public purposes and also as first network of a state distributing sys- tenn for power"
 It was apparent from La Guar dia's remarks that he had finished negotiations with private compan- ies for lower city rate and that he was enthusiastic about adhering to the governments determination to bring about cheap power pro- gram as a step toward national re- covery.
 Suppose the private companies gave you as chceap a rate for pow gave you as cheap rate for pow what then?" he was asked.
 Heard Promises Too Often
 q have heard of those promises for a long time," he replied.
 The decision of the government to help New York with self sustaining plant was indicative that the administration was prepared to press forward with development of the St Lawrence valley should the treaty with Canada be ratified.
 La Guardia said the annual city power bill amounted to approxi- mately $14,00O,000 and would be increased under the rates offered by the private companies for 1885.
 II believe" he said, that the conduct of the utilities for higher rates is not doing them any good. At the same time when a mayor can come directly to the White House for relief for lis peope there is still hope for all of us"

 Sen Arthur H. Vandenberg, R. Mich, seized on the estimate as providing "a strong argument for government operation" of muni- tions plants.
 The estimates were shown to have been drawn up to compare costs of making ammunition at the Frankfort government arsenal at Philadelphia and in various pri- vate plants.
 The Frankfort price was $23.1S per 1000 rounds of 30 caliber am- .lnunition. The average estimate ot private firms was $30.90.
 Mai K. k. Vo Casey, Du Pont military sales director, disputed the committees conclusions. He said factors such as overhead, taxes higher salaries and mass produc- ton rendered the comparison mis- leading. > |,
 Chairman Gerald P. Nye, R.. N. D., sought to show by charts prepared by munitions manufac- turers that the government could produce ammunition cheaper than private industry.
 Citing production costs at the Frankfort arsenal near Philadel- phia Nye said the committee acould not help but feel" that pri- yate manufacture of arms was more costly.
 Representatives of the Du Pont, Remington and Winchester com panies quickly disputed the asser- tion.
 Nye said figures compiled by munitions makers in 1928 dls- closed that the price at Frankfort arsenal for l ,0O rounds of 30 cal iber ammunition was $23.IS. whereas costs estimated by private companies reanged from $29 to more than $33. The average es- innate, he said, was $30.9O.

 Everybody eat, drink and be merry-that was what Harry or dered." Reitman explained. Harry was a sponger, wobbly and no good, but he had a fine heart and we're doing as he asked"

I ly favorable showing, the decline for october being 15.2 per cent against S2.3 per cent for Septem- Der, 35.4 per cent for August and 45.6 per cent for July.
 As result of the continued poor operating results, however, the net railway operating income for the first ten months of the year was 1.9 per cent below the corre- spending 1883 period, the first time this year the cumulative showings have recorded a decrease.
 The study shows that the indi- cated october 1884 railroad earn ings, when reported in detail, may show net income of $5,5O0,000 aft CT charges compared with $13,600.- 900 for October 1888. This would be the first time since June that the roads as a whole covered their fixed charges. The estimated net loss of $32,0O0,000 for the ten months compares with a net loss of $25,702,000 for the correspond ing period last year.
 For October 37 of the 65 major railroads were able to show an in- crease in gross compared with 193S., whereas in September only 27 of the railroads reported an in- crease. Furthermore in October, 21 and the 37 roads were able to transmit portion of the increased gross to net and show larger net railway operating income than in the corresponding 1898 month against in September
