Pea) ) 2 GMMERCIALCON BLSY STORE annual convention. “The public needs to understand the banking business better than it does, he said. “Hence the banks i gone into the business of pub- Ueity. The people need to under- stand the raflroads better than they do, and we need the help of the bank- ers the case of the railroads pu the before people as something 1m- portant to every financial institu- tion. All the raflroads got out of th federal period of control ts, . a] load of debt because of the capital | expenditures Incurred by the gov-| ernment; secon the promise of a ranteed return, which promise in large rema unfulfilled and the railroads are without the money; and they were left with a huge so huge as*to be to the y a burden upon transpor-, fon that is only partly borne by increases in freights 2@ fares. And although but partly! borne, is caus- ing keen criticism from the people who pay those freights and fares. “The transcontinental roads are in| the hopeless fix of competing with | the United "States shipping board v sels which do business between the ports of this country et a loss, and| for those losses the railroads have| been taxed. The roads were taxed to build the ships in the first place, and are being taxed to continue their operation at a loss in the second place. These high costs of shipping enter into the railroad difficulties and are bart of the increased freights and fares the people have to bear. “The railroads were taxed to build highways and are being taxed to maintain them,” he said, and pointed out that in the meantime the high: ways are being broken down, being smashed to pieces under the potund- ing of ponderous motor trucks and motor buses. “With the raflroads in this fix, it ts idle talk to remedy the reductions in rates,” he con:inued. “If the public will but realize that the labor board represents them and that the decisions on wages affect not only the railroads directly, but tndi- rectly, the rates of wages everywhere, the public will take more interest in being properly informed, and in ade- quately informing the labor board upon pending questions. The war is over, but the ‘thunders of the cap- fains and the shouting’ are still heard, and if the general public is hot careful the labor board may mis- take these noises for the voice of the People. “Hence tt is public opinion which will bring about a restoration of such normal conditions as will serve to restore railroad credit, and this re. storation will go far to restore pub. Ne prosperity.” CREDIT STRAIN HAS | EASED UP, REPORT. LOS ANGELES, Oct. 5.—The worst of the credit stringency seems to be over, and it appears that the country has borne the period of\ stress remark- ably well, it was reported to the Amer- jean Bankers’ association convention here today by its economic policy com- mission of which Paul M. Warburg of New York, is chairman. Natural recuperative forces are now making recovery,” the Teport said, “and there is every reason to believe that when wages havo been re- adjusted and normal balance is re- established between industries and be- tween nations, our country will enter upon @ new career of prosperity and advancement. “The commission again points to the dangerous attempts which are made so frequently at present to un- dertake to cure all existing economic evils by legislative action. The com- mission feels strongly that most ot our troubles will be ¢radicated more quickly and cured more thoroughly if economic laws are allowed free play. The commission regards especially many of the amendments proposed to the federal reserve act as undesirable and calculated to lessen the benefits to be derived from the federal reserve system. The commission believes that #0 long as the federal reserve system is able to continue {ts work as success- fully as it has begun, it should be left to function with the least possi- ble interference, Young People Outside Church CHICAGO, Oct. 5—Seven of every 10 young peopis in the United States are outside any~ religious institution, the Rev, Bert E, Smith of the Meth. odist Board of Sunday schools told ministers from 881 churches here at- tending the Rock River conference which opened its 82nd annual seasion here yesterday in the Protestant churches 60 per sent of the youth are not identified with any organization giving syste matic religious instruction, Dr, Smith aad, while jn the Catholic church the figures wag set at 78 per cent and at %5 per cent in the Jewish church, ——— RAIL PROBE TO RESUME.

A large and enthusiastic audience greeted Dr. 8. K. Loy of the Standard refinery at the chamber of comnterco forum meeting Tuesday noon. In announcing his subject “Protection of Our War Industries,” Dr. Loy stated that he did not intend to talk pro- tection from the standpoint of parti- san politics, He declered that his subject was bigger than partisan pol- ities and one which required the in- tellectual thought and study of all the real Americans in congress. Charging that the path of legisia- tion wes being interrupted and that the same interests which attempted to block the selective draft and attempt- ed, to prevent America’s entrance into the war were now trying to sound the death knell of the protection of Am- erica’s organic chemistry industry. A four year period for the proteo- tion of this industry would enable the American chemical industry to so es- tablish itself that it could then with- stand the cheaper competition of the German industry said Dr. Loy. Dr. Loy who 1s chief chemist of the Standard plants here has mado an ex- haustive search of the industry and tts needs. He recited the necessity for such protection by calling attention to the difficulties which America ex- Perienced on entering the world war. In closing his address Dr. Loy read @ resolution which had passed unan- imously at a recent general meeting of the American Chemical society which represents about 1,600 chemists in this country and urged that civic ‘ganizations throughout the country take similar action. , The resolution was referred to the directors for ac- tion. The resolution follows: “Believing in the tncalculable peace- timo benefits which accrue from the evelopment of the science of organic chemistry and its application in medi- cine, agriculture, and the industries connected with food, fuel, textiles, and dyes; “Realizing. the great role that. or- ganic chemistry has played in the development of ‘chemical warfare, we call the attention of this nation to the grave crisis which threatens our or- ganic chemical tndustry. “In spite of the tremendous strides made during the past ten years In the United States, this industry ts still cen- tered in Germany. Other nations have already sought to safeguard its future in thelr countries by appropriate. leg- islation. America stands hesitant. Progress has been checked. and in- deed the very industry {s threatened with destruction. Two agencies will be determinative in averting this dis. aster—the approaching international conference on ‘disarmament and the congress of the United States. “Resolved therefore, “(l) That we urge upon the Amer foan: delegates to the disarmament conference the most serious considern- tion of the broad question of chemical disarmament as affected by the devel- opment and maintenance of the chem- ical industry in the several nations, "@) That we urge upon congress the necessity of including in the per- manent tariff bill a selective embargo for a limited poriod against importa tion of synthetic organic chemicals; end we express the confident hope that in view of the important bearing of such action on economical degelop- ment and on national defence,’ our representatives, regardless of political affiliations, will support this legisla- tion." —_—_—___ WOODMEN OF THE WORLD.
