years after its formation. its
volume has been such, during the
past 90 years. as TO make its aver
age for the entire 30 years of its
existence more than $10,000,000 a
year.
Besides being the oldest adver-
Using agency in Detroit, Campbell
Ewald is one of the few agencies

Pupil of Schwab

Mr.. Sprague. who came up the
hard way through mechanical 10 rs
on the railroads, took time out IN
middle life to learn the art Of
merchandising through an asse-
citation with the late Charles Nj.
Schwab. who came close to being
the worlds number one salesman.
Joining the ranks of the freight
solicitors himself as head of this
railroad. Mr.. Sprague recognize
that his success lay in finding out
services he could render to pros
pective patrons. When the traffic
manager of a great tobacco COM
pany said be couldn't give Mr..
Sprague's line any freight because
its service was too slow. Sprague
overcame the sales resistance by
agreeing to start a fast freight
train from Peoria, H.. to y
apolis. Mimi, t the sacrifice OF
deferring the schedule on an I'M
profitable early morning pas
senger train. which heretofore
had had right of way.
1t is significant that this view
point proved profitable in rehabili-
tating a railroad which had been
pronounced hopeless by TIL eX-
pertS. Now the ma: agement has
applied TO the lCC to take the
road out of receive.ship.

Craftsmanship Test

The statemenship of our labor
leaders is facing a test.
viii they demonstrate that
they are capable of handling
far-reaching responsibilities. in
volving the very safety of the
nation. with keen intelligence,
moderation. foresight
Will they exhibit enough wis
dom TO put the national interest
first. TO convince the people that
they are unadulteratedly patri-
Otto, that they are willing to
shoulder a full share of the
sacrifices which industry and
business and investors and all
other terests have been
warned are in store for them?
1t would be infinitely regret
able were labor to become in
toxicated by its new found
power.
1t would court the risk Of
becoming the heaviest loser
ultimately. Public sentiment
unquestionably would compel
Congress TO enact restrictive
legislation. TO bring labor under
emergency rules and regulations
similar to those the whole
industrial world has uncom-
plainingly accepted. Whereas
labor and labor leaders have
been spectacularly on the
ascent, they would almost GER
tainly find that the tide had
turned against them.
There is another most vital
reason why labor leaders should
exercise restraint: If wholesale
demands be launched for still
higher wages-they are already
at an all-time peak-and should
nothing be done by Washington
TO check sky-rocketing wages or
to check strikes. initiation would
inevitably set in. We're infla-
ton to become rampant, the
worst sufferers in the long run
would be the millions of fami-
lies of modest means.
Let us pray that labor leaders
will so act as TO earn whole
hearted public approval.

Detroit Leads

Although no great believer in
the Importance of bank clear
ings. we were intensely inter-
ested in figures OF bank debts
In leading cities for 1910 as
against 1889. We believe debts
provide superior index TO
business activity.
Leading the entire list were
Detroit and Miami, with gains
of exactly 20.3 per cent, while
Cleveland. Toledo, and Grand
Rapids followed in that order.
Nominal gains were shown by
Chicago, up Sc per cent; Los
Angeles, up 81 per cent; and
Boston. up So per cent. New
York City barely managed TO
show a plus sign with gain
of only. OIL per cent.

available. In six years, l.. c.
Sprague, president and receiver Of
the Minneapolis and st. Louis,
rehabilitated that broken down
system by recognizing that enter
prising railroad men can help to
create traffic.
For example. Mr.. Sprague in
structed his freight solicitors to
envisage themselves as part OF the
sales organization of their pros
poets. He told them to use the
facilities of the "off line" distant
offices of the railroad as sales out
posts for smaller manufacturers
and jobbers, who might want to
contact markets in which at pres
ent they have no sales representa-
tives. Such unconventional solicit
tation was "unstuffy" and ii APP

Bond List Moves
In Narrow Range

Volume was meager in the bond
market today. but prices were
steady.
The foreign list was extremely
dull and United States Treasures
were featureless. High grade cor
porate issues rested around last
nights closes.
In rails, Southern Pacific bonds
were firm. Northern Pacific 6s
were up u to 67h. Baltimore &
Ohio SIS eased a small fraction.

"Guinea Pig" Road

Incidentally, the RFC l. appar-
emily making this road guinea
pig for handlir; other roads IN
receivership. The proposal is TO
divide the phvsical a--cts into two
parts. The RFC has professed
willingness TO make loan TO the
company holding the assets which
apparently can be profitably oper-
ated. The other proposed company
Will be debt free. and without fixed
debt charges should. in the opinion
of the management, be able 10
earn at least its operating ex-
penses while serving the COM
munities through which it passes.
In the IL years and 5 months Of
operations before Mr.. Sprague
Joined the road, the physical
property was running down. mas
much as there was skimping on
maintenance. the operating figures
are misleading. Nevertheless, even
on this basis, the road saved only
Ia per cent of gross revenue for
net income. In the first five years
of his operation Mr.. :Sprague
physically built up the property,
and nevertheless raised the per-
centage of gross revenue available
to net income to 6.53 per cent. In
the first 10 months of 1910. this
percentage had risen to 1894.
Raised Salaries
The striking fact is that Mr..
Sprague changed the picture
largely through using the person
mel which he found when he took
charge. Instead of cleaning house,
he raised salaries at times when
competitors were hurting morale
by cutting them.
Maybe. the greater fallacy of the
conventional railroad manager Is
mistaken belief that therpioneerlng
period in transportation is be-
hind us.

Unions at NeW High

In addition to the legislative
and legal tidal wave which has
elevated organized labor to new
heights of domination. unioniSm
has achieved conquest after con-
quest in industry after industry.
The combined membership of
the American Federation of
Labor and the Go is enor-
mously beyond any previous en-
rollment.
This means that the amount
of money flowing into union
treasury, into the control of
labor leaders, is now tremen-
dously greater than at any time
in the past.
1t follows that record-break-
ing union me m bers h ip and
mountaineering union income is
conducive to greater and greater
fighting power.
Boom times always strengthen
lahor'S- hand. The hectic defense
activities, entailing expansion of
employment. are already melting
sitter wage demands.
Strikes already have flared up
at several points, and there are
many limitations of brewing
agitation in vital industries.
Since nothing succeeds like
success" labor leaders feel en-
beldened To drive still further
home the advantages which the
politicians. the courts. admins
trative bodies and, now. the ma
tional emergency have COM
bined TO shower upon them.

ambitious labor leaders! VIII
they feel free TO wage inter-
union warfare regardless of
whatever national defense havoc
may be wrought?
The NLRB has been unheld
by the courts in almost every
important instance. The stand
taken is that Congress. clothed
this body with very wide. arbi-
trary powers, against which APP
peals could not be effectively
taken. The fragrant partisan
ship of the administrators of
what was at best grossly lop-
sided legislation has made it
most disruptive in practice.

FIRST SHIPS TO
 GO UNDER ARMS
Secretary of Navy Knox Said Those Serving Bri-
 tain Will Lead Way

Washington, Nov. is-tUp)-Sec- retary of Navy Frank Knox an- nounced today that American ner. chant ships that will serve the Brit. ish Isles and northern Europe will be armed first under the amended neutrality law.
 Second preference will be given to ships operating to and from the Red Sea, Knox said.
 Third priority will be given mer- chant ships plying to and from the south Atlantic.
 Knoxs statement indicated that armed American merchant ships might carry cargoes to Murmansk or Archangel, the Soviet Arctic ports. These are the only northern Euro- pean ports outside the British Isles that are not under Axis domination.
 Announcement on arms priorities for the American merchant fleet was made within 24 hours after President Roosevelt signed the neu- trality act revision bill which per- mits American ships to be armed and 70 sail anywhere.
 A U. s. naval search for an Axis raider was reported in progress on the Pacific side of the Panama Canal.
