CAMDEN, N. j., September 18.-The
r. c. A. Manufacturing Co. granted
pay increases of to S cents an hour
to 5000 workers yesterday.
E. T. Hamilton, vice president, said
the new scale would become effective
October S, and said 1t would add
s1,000,00 to the pay roll yearly.
The announcement was made first
by Harry Kline, president of the EN-
ployes' Committee Union, and was
confirmed later by Hamilton. Kline
said the company granted the increase
after long negotiations with the union.
Joseph q. Milton, chairman of the

contended the rise was the result of

if the PRESENT trend in money rates

il the PRESENT trend IN money Iaoes
continues.
@. Whom do you hold responsible
for the low interest rates?
A. The administration in Washing
ton has claimed credit for the low
interest rates. The Government
possesses artificial factors which can
keep money rates down, as, for in
stance, by purchase of Government
securities with various funds OF its
own and by its restrictions upon
business and industry that cause busi-
ness men to hesitate to undertake new
financing.
Few for New Capital.
@. But haven't the figure from the
Securities and Exchange Commission
shown a huge total of new financings?
A. Yes, but nearly all the issues
being f1oated are to refinance or re-
fund old issues. Very few are new
capital. Also the ones refunded are
brought out at even lower interest
rates than before, and this further
cuts our earnings.
q. Wnat 90 you tnmk Is tne cure
for all this?
A. A real budgetary program for
the Government and cutting out
Of all extragavance and waste and
policy that removes the fears and un-
certainies from industry and busi-
ness and revises, If not repeals, such
vicious pieces of tax legislation as the
recent tax on the rainy day reserves

panies.
Q. When do you expect all this to
happen?
A. When the presidential and vice

campaigning and we all get down to
fundamental economics once more.

shall fulfill that mission depends upon
whether we shall be able to arrest the
forces which in many other countries
have disrupted society and led to its
re-inteeration under myths which are
at direct variance with what the con-
sensus Of science and philosophy be-
lieves to be truth.
There are many indications that the
process of disruption is under way.
When the Republican candidate and
his supporters speak Of the menace Of
class division. they merely record what
is evident. Unfortunately, too many
Of them are prepared to assist the
process from the extreme right. The
process Is not one which we need to
speculate about. For nearly two
decades now. we have been able to OBJ
serve 1t In Europe a. in q laboratory.
With practically no variation. the proc
ess has been the same. The nation
splits into two or more contending
groups. whose divergencies eventually
become irreconcilable. That contest
leads to social and economic disorder
and even, possibly, to civil war. There
is Spain. The disorder continues to
the point where one group becomes
overwhelmingly stronger than the
other. That group then establishes
order, on its own premises, and main
tains it by force. That is to say,
freedom, which has resulted in chaos,
Is supplanted by authority, resting
upon armed force. For in the long
run authority is summoned. 1t is
summoned by cry reaching to high
heaven.
For US, at present. the case Of
France Is the most Illuminating
There, on the one side, is the group
which Is symbolized by the so-called
two hundred families" 1t is the
French Liberty League. On the other
side Is the class-conscious, militantly

- and. Nebr., was the star last
year in the Erie Canal play,
n Il "The Farmer Takes O Wife"
Then, not on the canal, but boating
on the Thames, he met Mrs. Frances
Seymour Brokaw, kin to the Pells,
Stuyvesants, Biddles, Fishes and An
tons. Their wedding in Park avenue
church is smooth continuity, with no
break between the make-believe and
real worlds-one shading nicely into
the other.
His success in the Broadway play
and moving pictures made him a
matinee idol, but not Of the sleek,
mellifluous tradition. He Is husky
chap, 8 feet 2 inches tall, weighing
ITO pounds, an interesting variant
from william Faversham, last living

breakers. His friends call him Hank"
He wanted to be an artist or a
writer. Landing in Omaha from ths
University Of Minnesota, he helped
design scenes for the community
playhouse. In an emergency, he was
all but dragooned into acting. Re-
luctantly, he continued. He was de-
termined to write plays and now has
a trunk full of manuscripts. Giving
up painting was also a wrench.
The wedding was an event Of con-
siderable social importance. He Is
81 years old, curious, informed and
busy in a wide range of the arts in
addition to the theater. He previously
was married to Margaret SULLIVAN. ths
film actress.
Gov. James M. Curley Of Massachu-
sets, winning the Democratic sena-
torial nomination, fought his way up
in rock-and-sock battles in the Irish
wards Of Boston. His Republican op-
ponent, Henry Cabot Lodge, jr., Is a
Beaconese, with comparable political
skill and sagacity of entirely different
derivation. He Learned politics at his
grandfather's knee, the latter being
the famous Senator Of great Repub-
lican tradition. They mobilize the
chivalry and the shovelry. An enter.
tanning contest is promised. !
Mr.. Lodges father died at the age
OF 35, and his shrewd, peppery old
grandfather took over his education.
AS an undergraduate at Harvard he
had short workout in practical poli-
tics with Boies Penrose II. He travelled
a great deal and worked as a reporter
on Boston, New York and Washington
newspapers. He was a good reporter
and got an exclusive interview with
MuSsolini.
He is tall and handsome, q good

one in the long Lodge parade at Har-
ward to win honors, having been grad.
uated cum laude.
In his fascinating book, "The Amer
ican Language" H. L. Mencken tells
of the rage stirred in England by Noah

of homegrown words. The battle has
ragged for a century. Today comes tho
news that the British have capitulated.

photographer, lets it be known that
