full of this, the Pangborn plan, as
conceived in 1912 and put into eff
feet in 1943, goes long way to re-
lieving this hazard. Those who
share in its generosity have a bull
wark against old age and want, that
is tribute to its originator's wisdom
and vision AS it works out, it is a
substantial increase to each workers
yearly base pay and best of all, it is
put away, at compound interest,
awaiting the inevitable day when it
will be most needed.
In his message of January 25, 1914,
Thomas w. Pangborn told his en-
ployees: This Profit Sharing Trust
is a reward for long service. 1t rids
old age Of its fears and wants. 1t
makes steady employment with
Pangborn extra desirable, because it
builds a retirement fund that grows
parallel to the years of service. This
fund can never be recalled by the
corporation. Once deposited in trust
the money is yours - continuously
earning interest -- awaiting your fu-
ture call"
The million and half dollars now
in this employees fund is unques-
tionable proof that the founder of
the Pangborn Corporation planned
his profit sharing trust with wisdom
and benevolence, far past the normal
expectation of thoughtful employee

Labor Management Problems
Discussed At Last Weeks
Luncheon Meeting.

Paul r. Comegys, speaking on the
subject, Can Labor Understand
Arrangements Problems at Thurs
days luncheon meeting of the XII
wants Club at Hotel Alexander, told
his audience that his question could
be answered in the affirmative if
management took the trouble and
time to have the economics of bust
ness properly explained to it's en-
ployees.
The meeting was presided over
by president Oscar Hartsock, and
Mr.. Comegys, who is the Hagers-
town representative of the North
western Mutual Insurance Com
pany of Baltimore, was introduced
by Miller Petre, chairman of the
House Committee, which arranged
the program.
/ During the meeting, members of
the Kiwanis Club gave the advance
sale of tickets of the Hagerstown
Braves home games a real boost, by
purchasing SO, ten-ticket books.
. During his address, Mr.. Comegys
stated that at a recent national poll,
40 per cent of those polled stated
that they believed the stockholders
in industry received at least IS per
cent of the firms income, whereas,
the true facts are that in the aver
age industry stockholders receive
dividend from 4 per cent to 7 per
cent.
Mr.. Comegys further pointed out
that while the general public be-
lieves that a large segment of in
dustry got the big salaries, statistics
show that: 80 per cent of the nations
salaries or wages average $4,000 a
i year or less; g per cent average from
$4,000 to $4,000 a year, and that
only 4 per cent receive more than
/ $25, 900 per anmum.
As proof of what can be done
when labor begins to understand the
real meaning of business economics,
Mr.. Comegys told of his own ex-
/ perience with group of young men
in Baltimore who made it their bust
ness, through the American Econom-
les Foundation of New York, to con-
duct seminars in several plants in
Baltimore at which, in language that
everyone could understand, they ex-
planned the true meaning Of eco
Monies as they affected both man
agement and labor, and he cited the
case of one industry, whose manage
ment stated that after a seminar
conducted at their plant the produc-
ton increased IA per cent and, on
top of that. several of the employees
made application to buy stock in the
firm.
In closing, the speaker urged that
the services of the Economic Foun-
dation of New York be utilized in
Hagerstown. This Foundation, Mr..
: Comegys said, is a non-profit, non
! political organization formed for the
: express purpose of bringing to the
, working man better understand
ing Of labors problems through
forums and discussions.

Evidence Indicates
Mrs. Durbin Knew Of
US. Attorneys Plans

Indications that Mrs. Andrew
T. Durbin had been tipped off to
plans of the then United States
Attorney. Charles M. Irelan.
were revealed in court testimony
today.
Mrs. Durbin is on trial in the
U. S. District Court for the Dis
trict of Columbia, charged with
helping her husband flee Wash
ington to avoid testifying before
a grand jury. Durbin also is on
trial for the alleged fight.
$2.8 Million Fee.
The grand jury was investi-
eating possible Shakedown and
bribery in connection with a
$2.8 million fee paid Washing
ton attorney Ernest Wilkinson,
who successfully represented Ute
Indians in a $32 million lands
claim against the Government.
Earlier testimony at the trial
charged that group tried to cut
in on Mr.. Wilkinson's fee.
During the current trial, there
has been testimony that Durbin
received a telephone call from
friends in Florida, telling him of
obstacles being placed in the
path Of legislation to pay the
$32 million claim. It was these
obstacles which the grand jury
was investigating.
Prosecutor William Hitz had
brought out that Mr.. Irelan had
told him it was desirable to wind
up the grand jury investigation
by May 7. 1852. the same date
for which Durbin had been sub
poenaed, according to the Gov
ernment.
Cincinnati Woman TestifieS.
Today. Mrs. Lyman Moody
Boiling Larkin, Cincinnati board
ing house proprietor, testified
that on May Z, 1852, Mrs. Dur
bin told her the date was the
last day of the trial" and that
Durbin would not have to show
up for it. Apparently, Mrs. Lar
kin used the word trial. for
grand jury proceedings. A date
on a subpoena would not indi-
cate to the recipient that grand
jury action would necessarily
end on that date.
Mrs. Larkin described flight
by the Durbins from her dom
icile after a deputy United States
Marshal had appeared there
early in May, 1852.
