Washington, d. C. (IILNS).-Unan-
imous agreement has been reached by
a committee of industrial and labor
leaders called to discuss ways and
means of training workers for indus
tries engaged in national defense
work, it was announced by Owen D..
Young, adviser on industrial training
to Sidney Hillman, member of the Ma
tional Defense Advisory Commission
on labor supply.
The committee voted to call gen
eral conference representing defense
industries, labor and government
agencies at an early date to perfect
plans for state and local agencies to
promote training in industry.
1t was recognized, Young said,
that the first and best source of
additional workers will be skilled
men now unemployed. Next to
them, he added, should come
those now employed who can be
trained in industry itself.
The general program agreed upon
involves aiding industry in training
apprentices, re-training workers, re-
freshing their skills where necessary,
and generally stimulating the up
grading of those now at work on key
defense production processes.
Announcement Of the agreement is
seen here as indicating that labor
and management see eye to eye on the
industrial training question. Unem-
ployed will get the next chance, as
Young intimated. From now on there
will be less emphasis upon National

JUNE EMPLOYMENT
UP NEARLY MILLION

Washington, D. C. (ILNS). - The
return Of approximately 235,000 work
ers to jobs in non-agricultural indus
tries between May and June raised
the June employment level to the
highest point reached this year, and
shows an increase of more than 90O,-
600 workers over June, 1889, Secre-
tary of Labor Frances Perkins re-
ported. with the exception of the
mining group, employment gains were
reported in all major fields OF non
agricultural employment" she said.
Zone of the most significant fea-
lures of the current report was the
rise of about $4,000 in factory en-
ployment from May to June. Usually
factory employment declines by about
10000 at this season of the year

WALL ST. BANKERS
WAX FAT ON new
R.R. SETUP, REPORT

Washington, d. c. (ILNS). = How
Wall Street bankers made big profits
from the reorganization of western
railroad was told by the Senate Inter
state Commerce Committee in re-
port to the Senate.
The committee found that bankers
who underworld the Missouri Pacific
Railroads reorganization securities re-
ceived half again as much compensa-
tion as the systems general officers
did in running it from 1921 to 1880.
Senator Wheeler of Montana and
Senator Truman of Missouri declared
in an accompanying statement that
indications were that, while investors
in the Miussouri Pacific suffered in
1915 and again in 1888, the road was
a profitable enterprise for its bankers" !"
Big Pay for Bankers
Kuhn, Loeb & Company of New
York and other participating bank
ers, they said, received gross COM
pensation of nearly $9,500,OOO in the
ten-year period from 1921 to 1880,
| while total salaries and expenses of
all general officers of the railroad
amounted to $6,069,000.
The report discussed the systems
reorganization, expansion and financ-
ing from 1915 to 1880.
Kuhn, Loeb & Company, the SEN
ators declared, dominated the 1916
1917 reorganization by reason of their
representation on the stockholders
proxy committee and on two bond
holders committees, as we'll as
through their appointment as reor-
ganization managers, their role as
chief underwriters of the emerging
securities, and their representation in
| the voting trust which controlled the
railroad for five years after the re-
organization.
No Decrease in Charges
The reorganization plan, the state
ment said, provided for a $50,00O,00O
reduction in long term debt and 3d.
250,0O0 reduction in annual fixed
charges, but subsequent financing,
entirely through the sale of fixed-in-
terest debt, wiped benefits from the
reorganization" The debt, the report
added, subsequently was increased by
$185, 100000 and fixed-interest.c charges
by $9,800000 a year.
''The upshot was the 1888 bank
ruptcy," the Senators asserted. 'sThe
story of how the 1852 reorganiza-
tion postponed renewed insolvency for
only sixteen years contains, in our
opinion, a lesson for present reorgan-
izers and future managements of the
Missouri Pacific"

THR BALANCE oF TRAnR

AT the end Of each year the Uni
ted States government adds up the
amount Of goods sold abroad and
these are the nations exports. In
carrying out this method Of account
ing the Commerce Department finds
that United States merchandise and
exports exceeded the imports Of
merchandise that came to this coun-
try from abroad by about 800 million
dollars the past year.
The foreign commerce for 1899
produced exports Of S3,100, ,O00, 900
and imports at $2,3OO, 900, 600. This
shows that foreign trade is q bnsi-
ness Of nearly 51S billion dollars-a
huge sum. and very important to the
welfare Of the people Of the United
States.
The mere fact that the balance OF
trade is in favor Of the United States
shows we have taken In close TO a
billion dollars more money than we
have sent abroad is going to be the
clinching factor that will bring about
