A Few Words From
William Allen White

William Allen White
MORE thoughts for the Len
VI ten period are found in =
section of the Methodist Christ
tan Advocate devoted to ex-
pressions from prominent men
on the part the Bible plays in
their lives. Il is surprising,
when one investigates. to dis
cover how many business men
are Bible students. and how
many of them apply what they
learn to their daily affairs.
Specifically the comments in
The Advocate were in answer
to the question. What is your
favorite verse in the Bible ,"
A few answered by quoting a
favorite verse; most of them re-
piled that there were 50 many
verses on which they relied that
they could not be specific.
One of the most interesting of
these replies came from James
L. Kraft, president of the Kraft
Cheese company, big business
man and most sincere chris
tan layman. Here Is what he
says about the Bible:
ITO choose a single favorite
passage from the Bible-one

ton Joseph Eastman and the railroad
brotherhood people are at loggerheads
and there is no immediate likeli-
hood that they will be getting to-
gether.
The brotherhood people say that
Eastman not only has failed to take
them into his confidence, but that
he is even hostile to them. He re-
fuses, they say, to carry out the spirit
of the abor-management program or
dered by Donald Nelson.
Now they are incensed over the
first order issued by Eastman, effec-
tive May 1. George Harrison, presi-
dent of the Brotherhood of Railway
Clerks, says that the first he heard
of the order was when he saw It in
Railway Age, railroad publication.
The order provides that no freight
car can be moved from one terminal
to another which contains less than
10 tons of freight-an order, the
brotherhoods insist, definitely not in
The interest of national defense.
Under this order, car could re-
main on the tracks for SO hours, after
which its contents would be unloaded

purchasing power.
By midsummer, 1912, there will be
a huge surplus of consumer purchas-
ing power-somewhere from $1,000,
100000 to $4,000, 900, OOO-all ready to
be spent. Some of 1t will go into
war stamps and bonds, but there will
be billions looking for a market.
Black Market May Develop
The same situation In Great Britain
has led to the black markets on
at high prices in much the same way
that liquor was bootlegged in this
country during prohibition. Estimates
of the business done on these black
markets vary, but the fact that the
food ministry has conducted more
than 10000 prosecutions since the be-
ginning of the war gives some idea
of its scope.
Large scale control of wholesale
and retail prices may save the situa-
ton. Lacking such control the U. S.
faces period of black market oper-
ations at exorbitant prices in all lines
OF durable consumer goods.

RETAILERS OPPOSE
PRICE Controlling

CHICAGO OPP The resistance
of business-as-usual retail outfits to
price control continues to grow.
Latest to oppose contemplated gov
eminent moves to stop soaring prices
is the National Association of Retail
Grocers.
In telegram to Price Administra-
tor Leon Henderson In Washington,
the association, which purports to
represent 100000 grocers, says that
any move to freeze prices at present
levels will bankrupt many wholesalers
and retailers.
Labor department statistics show
that food prices have already risen
25 per cent since the start of the
war and wholesale induces indicate
even greater increases are on the
way.

Anti-labor organizations in these
war days are springing up almost as
