SINCLAIR VIEWS
OIL PROBLEM

NEW YORK, Aug. 28.-Acidly
diSagreeing with Sir Henri De-
terding's analysis of the world oil
situation, Harry F. Sinclair, head
Of the Sinclair Oil Company, ar
rived yesterday in the United
States liner Leviathan. He said:
"What about EurOpe'S putting
her own house in order? Why
don't. European oil men make
some money? They come over
here and tell us how to make it.
I'm one European country I
visited they were selling gas at
minus point decimaP-lesS than
cost. That country was Holland,
the home of Sir Henri'S Royal
Dutch She'll"
Nor was Sinclair in agreement
with Sir Henri's statement that
the use of Diesel engines on rail
roads would solve the problem of
oil surpluses. He commented:
whats the difference whether
you drink Scotch or Bourbon?
Though it's correct that Diesel
power will be used eventually
for all railroad lOcOmOtiOn. 1
don't see where it will material
ly affect consumption of OIL"
Questioned as to whether Eu-
ropean nations are conserving
their oil surpluses for war emerg-
encies, Sinclair pointed out that
there was nothing unusual in the
situation. He said it arose from
the fact that none of them is
producer.
Sinclair said that if Congress
had passed the Thomas bill in its
last session the oil situation would
have been considerably improved.

PACKERS JOBS
AND PAY RISE

The employment and payroll in
dex for the meat packing industry
for July, compiled by the Labor
Department, surpassed the average
of all manufacturing industries,
the Institute Of American Meat
Packers said today.
This has been the situation
every month since September,
1880, it added. The institute said:
BASED on the Department of
LabOr'S index, which sets the
average for 1923-25 as 100, en-
plOyment in the packing indus
try in July of this year stood at
1885, a gain Of FL per cent
over June and an advance Of
21.5 per cent over July, 1888.
"Meanwhile, the induStry'S
payroll index in July was ola, a
gain of 4.9 per cent over June
and of 37.4 per cent over July,
1888"
The institute said the general
employment index for all manu-
featuring industries in July was
1876 and the general payroll index
was 60.4.

CHICAGO, Aug. % G.N.S).
Grains continued under moderate
pressure today with wheat and

POWER FIRM BILL
AGAIN IN SENATE
House Passes Measure
Forcing Rate Fights Into
State Courts.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The johnson bill to compel utility
companies to contest rate cases IN
courts of the States in which they
operate was back in the Senate today
for concurrence in an amendment de-
signed to strengthen it. The bill
swept through the House yesterday
by a 201-to-19 vote.
The purpose of the measure is to
prevent utilities from obtaining in
functions in Federal courts and thus
delay effectiveness of new rates pro-
mulgated by State public service
commissions.
Senator johnson, Republican. of
California, is the author of the legis-
lation. Representative Lewis, Demo-
crat. of Colorado, proposed substi-
tute to liberaliZe the johnson bill by
allowing utilities to choose either
State or Federal courts for the rate
contests, but not permitting them to
transfer from one to another to delay
action.
The substitute proposal was de-
feated, 112 to 27. Then the House
went on to adopt an amendment by
representative I1lilCl, DCAiOSioI, VA
Arkansas. which would prevent the
use of Federal courts for contests
against rates fixed by agencies of
municipal and other political SUBJ
divisions
Democratic leaders expressed the
belief the Senate would accept the
Miller amendment and speedily COM
plete congressional action. Represent
ative Rankin, Democrat, of MisSis-
sippi, sought to block the Miller
amendment on the ground it might
mean defeat of the whole bill in con-
ference between the Senate and
House. but he vas shouted down.
Heretofore, when State, municipal
or other rate-making agencies pro-
mulgated new schedules. utility COM
panieS permitted them to be instituted
in the State courts and then, in order
to delay the effectiveness of the new
rates, transferred the cases to the
Federal courts.
The johnson bill would give them
the right to appeal only to the United
States Supreme Court.
Chairman Summers of the House
Judiciary Committee described the bill
as perhaps one of the most important
items of legislation Congress will be
called upon to pass judgment on in a
long time"
The measure is supported by IS of
the 48 State Public Service Commits
sions and by more than 40 Governors.

n word to
husbands only

IN nearly every home there is
i one part of the meal that you
husbands usually have a lot to
say about and that is the brand
of coffee that shall be served on
your table. There seems to be
something in common between a
good cup of coffee and a good
cigar and we recognize mans
right to be "fussy" about both.
We believe, too, that you judge
your coffee solely by its flavor,
and when you find a brand that
satisfies your taste, that's all you
care about.
That's why we say little about
the blending, roasting and
preparation of Sanico Coffee. We
know that when you taste it and
find what a good cup Of coffee it
really is, you'll take it for granted
that all this has been properly at
tended to. Take home a tin of
Sanico today and we believe
you'll agree that you can't find a
more flavorful or delicious
brand Of coffee at any price-yet
with all this, Sanico will be a
great friend of your budget.

The Issue in Figures

The final battle on the bonus bill
at this session Of congress soon will
open in the senate and observers see
scant possibility OF another upset OF
the administration control such as
marked the vote on the veteran bene-
fit proposal.
Principles and policy will be the
chief subjects for debate and 50 It
is interesting to note here the fiscal
aspects Of the situation.
Tho veterans administration esti-
mates that 3.54202o adjusted COM
pensation certificates are outstanding
with q value Of $3,497, els,679. Certi-
ficates to the number OF 1889 and
valued at $l73, 760, $50 have been ma
tured by death. Loans totaling ST.
500, 400, lA have been made on 2,872,-
l69 Of the outstanding obligations.
In addition, 1t is estimated that banks
have loaned some $50, ooo, 900 on $780,
600 certificates.
Examination Of these figures dis
close the extent to which the cur
refcy would be inflated II the pro-
posal for "greenback" payment Of the
nations debt to its soldiers were
speeded up some 10 years as the
advocates Of this policy are urging.

Modified LOYALTY

Politics never took an odder or 8
sharper turn than 1t did in congress.
between the votes In the house or
the presidents veto of the independ-
ent offices appropriation bill and or
the new tariff measure.
In the first instance, only a scant
handful OF Democrats remained to
uphold the president. The congress
men INDUCED In revolt on grand
scale, and ominous prophecies were
made about the decline Of Mr.. Roose-
velts influence.
But hardly - hours later these
same insurrectionists were back at
his side, putting through for him a
measure Of the very type on which
congress could be expected to balk
the most-a tariff bill putting In his
hands powers which the house Of rep
resentatives has always hitherto used.
It looks very much as il the Demo-
cratic majority were trying to say
that 1t Is and will be fanatically loyal
on all issues except one.

Private Armies in II. s.

day." asserts in the current issue that
Hitlertsm has invaded the United
States on q systematic and nation
wide scale. According to this maya
zine, Nazi offshoots have been estab-
lished In 10 American cities, recruits
are being sworn in at the rate Of 400
q week in New York City alone, and
uniformed storm troopers" are con-
Quoting regular drills in nearly q
score Of places.
It is only this last point that seems
especially disturbing. This is free
country, and If a man wishes to be-
come Nazi, that surely Is his right
precisely as 1t is his right to be a
Communist, Democrat, q Repub-
lican, or q Single Taxer.
But 1t Is hard to see why there Is
any place In the United States for
these private armies on the European
model.
Overseas, those organizations in
variably lead to trouble. We can get
along without them very nicely.

1ss KINDS OF SHOES

In 1882 there were no less than lS9
trade brands Of shoes marketed
through the mystic power Of the title
Doctor" That is, the makers Of the
shoes used the title Doctor as part
Of the name to distinguish their shoe
from other makes
Some Of the shoes that exploit the
title Of Doctor" are all right. I'd
recommend them for everybody II the
manufacturers would desist from
this misleading promotion.
The general run of shoes sold to-
day far excels the footwear provided
10 or 20 years ago, SO far as the health
and hygiene factors are concerned.
Even women and girls are getting a
better break than their mothers ever
had in shoes. 1 suppose the increas-
ing participation of women in all
kinds OF healthful open air games,
gymnasium work and the like brings
some sanity in the selection of shoes.
The woman who plays golf, tennis,
basketball, who likes hiking, bicycl-
Ing, bowling, skating. skiing. riding,
fencing, archery or other sports, can
not participate in such activities with
ballroom slippers and French heels

troubles is discussed In a monograph

Another Moratorium
(AllcCa PAnOr anal

Governor Langer's latest move to
curry favor with certain voters by de-
claring q moratorium on merchants
debts until July IS, Is meeting with
mixed feeling Of elation or fear, as
the case may be.
From the expressions heard from
various cities and towns in the state,
1t would seem that very few mer-
chants are actually in favor OF the
governors latest attempt to swing
support to his waning strength at the
coming primary election.
The merchants who have managed
to keep up their credit by paying
when due, or have made arrange
ments with their wholesalers for brief
periods OF respite from payment Of
their accounts, are worse Oft than
they were before. In many cases
wholesalers are becoming fearful lest
North Dakota's fitful governor will
make another declaration that would
leave them powerless to protect their
own interests. Rather than run this
risk they conclude that the only safe
way Is to ask cash for the goods be-
fore they are sent out to the retailers.
This means that the merchant
must secure the cash before he can
get the goods. II he does get the
cash to do 50, he must In return in
sist on cash from the customer, which
entails hardship on the individual as
well as the retailer.
There may be individual cases
where this new moratorium Is &C.
complaining some good. On the
whole, however, It will do more harm
than good.
We doubt whether the governor
has gained many votes by this latest
move for vote getting. What few he
might have gained will be lost By
others who may find . g. O. D
package, instead Of To usual 30-day
credit allowance.

lars to pay their debts for goods,
They bid for dollars and that raises
the value OF the dollar abroad in
terms Of francs, Ira, pounds and
80 on.
There's only one thing Morrentlaan
can do in Q case like that. The law
directs him to keep that dollar stab
ili0ed. So, almost automatically, We
toss some Of our stabilization fund
into the pot and keep on dumping
1t. The process seems bound to so
on unless we create something like
an equal balance Of trade.
II the process hasn't begun. as
those insiders are sure it has. 1t will
begin In the very near future.
