ELECTRIC TRUST ALSO HAS EDGE. ON CASH RESERVE With Subsidiaries It Holds Nation in Net From Niagara to the Gulf of Mexico the distribution of the power on which industry and employment will depend is being rapidly monopolized by the General Electric Co. Recent nagotia. tions for purchase of the Southern Power & Light Co. by Dlectric Powér & Light Oo. represent an !mportant step in the unification of this super power trust. Mlectrio Power & Light is a subsidt ary of Electric Bond & Share Co, a General Electric dummy which in turn} controls a series of electric power companies serving territory. with a population approaching 10,000,000. The properties include part of the holdings of the Hlectric Power & Light Co., American Power & Light, National, Power & Light, Southeastern Power & Light, American Gas &. Electric, Carolina Power & Light, Lehigh Pow. er Securivies and Buffalo, Niagara & Eastern. The area served by South- ern Power & Light, which is being added to the chain, is bounded. by Little Rock, Ark., Memphis, Muscle Shoals and Jackson, Miss. The Morgan interests behind. Gen- eral Electro are creating a dictator ship over what is coming to be the prime essential of the mechanical age. They are establishing themselves where they can levy a twofold profit, first the profit on the huge quantities of electrical equipment they will man- ufacture in their role of General Elec- tric and sell to themselves in their role of power combine, and second the operating profit from the sale of power. General Electric profits for 1924° show how large the manufacturing profit will be. With a record busi- ness of $299,251,869 it reported a man- ufacturing profit of $134,342,381, After adding other income and subtracting depreciation, federal taxes and inter“ est charges there remained $39,235,- 548 for the stockholders which meant: $21.09 a share for the holders of comi- mon. Genera: Hlectric since 1899 has distributed dividends totaling 380 per cent. It is the third largest holder of cash among the country’s ‘ndustrial corporations with $117,713,797 in this account.

Russian agriculture has made are- markable headway since 1922, The ‘seeded area in 1923-24, in comparison with. that of 1922-23, has , been. in- ‘eased by.18% per cent, the number of cattle increased by.17 per cent. A demand for agricultural implements on the part.of the peasants has. been continually growing. The peasants Zn all parts of the R. S, F.'S, R, are trying to adopt the new.,methods of cultivation of their lands, ‘The stabilization of Russian money ‘and the development of industry have played an important part in the progress of agriculture, At the same time, two fdctors—the lack of ‘horses fn 1924 and the drought of 1924 have OUR DAILY..PATTERNS gteatly hindered the development in ‘the. agricultural field in accordance with the plans for 1924-25. But not-, withstanding these. drawbacks, the seeded area will be larger by 3% mil- lion dessiatin than that of 1924. 3 Quality Improved. Not only the area seeded has been increased, but also the quality of the cultures has. been improved every- where in R. S, F. 8. R. The area seed- ed with rye was increased by 3.5 per cent; with wheat—by 18 per cent. The following figures afford an inter- esting comparison in. regard to other cultures: the. area seeded with pota- toes in 1924 was 46.5 per cent of that of 1913; seeded with flax-—84 per cent; seeded with hemp—106 per cent; feed grass—127 per cent; seeded with sunflower—179 per cent. These fig- ures show that the agriculture has been quickly reaching, the | pre-war mark, and in many cases has already passed it, Crops, Better. The condition of the crops, accord- ing to the latest rep ‘ts of the depart- ment of agriculture, is as follows: North region—Crop is fair; no dam- ages. North East region—The winter crops are in fair condition; the North ‘West region—The winter crops are developing nicely, recent rains have noticeably helped the growth of crops. Central region—In the most parts the condition is fair, in some parts— poor, Western region—The rye is in good condition, the wheat—somewhat worse. Blacksoil region—Condition fair. Upper Volga region—Condition fair. Middle Volga region—aAll over, with exception of a small part, condi- tions are.fair. . Lower Velga:region—| Except Penza Province, the conditions .are-fair.

QUALITY AND OUTPUT “The report of the secretary of agriculture of the Russian Soviet feteratéd’ Sdcialist Republics, shows a tremendous improve- ‘ment in agriculture” Bince"1922. The crops have increased not only in quan- tity, but have improved in quality as well. Agricultural experiment stations have been founded, and much help was given the drought regions, Extracts.from the report declare: &————_—__________. The department of agriculture, with a view of introducing in the villages newest methods in agriculture, has been continually increasing the num- ber of agricultural experimental sta- tions. In 1923, there were 1,500 of such stations; in 1924, 1,900; in 1925, 2,101, agricultural experimental — sta- tions. There were also 1,300 veterin- ary stations, The seed fund of the R. 8. F. S. R. is expressed in 64,000,000 poods. Out of this fund 32 million poods of seeds were sent to the drought regions. 3,200,000 poods of seeds were distrib- uted for re-seeding the winter crops. Over 10 million poods of selected wheatseeds, 800,000 poods of flax and 78,000 poods were distributed among Peasants. Except 32 million poods of seeds, eight million rubles for the purchase of cattle and seven and one-half mil- lion rubles to feed the. children were distributed in the drought region. Seven and one-half million rubles for the deyelopment of agriculture and 17 million rubles for melioration work were also sent to drought regions. During the last_year, 7,778,000 dessia- tins have been affected by meliora- tion. JUDGE BUSICK TO DECIDE ON JUDGE BUSICK Incidentally C Connors, I. W. W., Is Re-tried SACRAMENTO, Cal., June 7.—The retrial‘on appeal of Tom Connors for alleged jury tampering is now on in Satramento before the notorious judge ©, 0. Busick who denied a plea by the anes for change of venue. * Conpors was arrested in San Fran- ciseo, April 6, 1923, while acting as detenee, secretary for his labor un- ion, the T, W. W. A charge of jury tam- perfité’ Was brought against him with criminal syndicalism implications, as a remite'ot his legal efforts toward de- region—| fens of @ criminal syndicalism case then, on trial. ae first trial of his case resulting 4, diagreement. His second trial, pre over by Busick, resulted in @ vetdiét of guilty and Connors was sentenced to five years imprisonment, the maximum penalty. At‘ Shout the same time and in the same> Vicinity, a nonunion contractor was triéd on the charge of jury-tam- pering!in a bootleg liquor case. Upon contlusive evidence of guilt in this case, the sentence handed out was five days in ‘county jail. No evidence of intention to bribe a juror had been drought forth in the Connors’ case Connor had simply distributed leaflets by mail’and express and no actual juror got one. The California Defense committee says: “The city of Sacramento is the central point for employing and ship- '|ping men to construction and lumber camps. It is the distributing point for farm labor. That is why the officials of Sacramento county continue to ar- rest working men and charge them with the alleged crime of having join- ed the labor organization of their choice.” Slight Improvement of Phoenix Brings in Over Supply of Labor PHOENIX, Ar., June 7.—After four years inactivity due to the shutting down of industries, drouth, slump in cotton prices and of building opora- tions in 1920-1921, the Phoenix unions are again coming to life. New un- fons are also being formed, the Cen- tral Labor Union revived. and the Women’ Trade Union Label league re- organized. With the revival of mining and building oldtime union men are drift- ing back and with them hundreds of disillusioned California - prosperity hunters who are willing to work for a small wage to get a atake and pull out ot the valley before the heat of sum- mer.

For the United States this de- velopment is one of the vastest im- portance.” The council‘ feeis confident that in the annals of thé federal reserve sys- tom the arrafgément “by which the Federal Reserve’ Bank’ of New York assisted England with’ a $200,000,000 credit will be™Writen down’ as one of its proudest achievements. The importance to the United States | is seen by the council, first, because America owns \approx:mately half of the world’s monetary gold; second, be- cause its prosperity is dependent on exchange stability; and, third, because foreign markets only as long as it con- | its huge excess production can find | foreign markets onl yas long at it con- tinues to invest heavily abroad. Safe- ty of such foreign investment requires that the credit of its customers be on the strongest basis. Without this~step, the council as- serts, terrible consequences like an- other exchange collapse might have followed with further reductions in wages and living standards abroad and social consequences which the United States could not have escaped. This is a thinly veiled statement that the entire“vorld order, in which the United States is equipped to play a dominant rolé, might have collapsed if England had’ not restored the gold standard.

During the first period of the new economic policy+-that of restoring the country’s indistrial system, the main field of action Was the town. Now during the second stage of further devolopment ofthe country’s resoure- es, the government has to concentrate on the villages;and increase the pro- ductivity of agriculture. The key- stone to this policy is to furnish the peasantry with manufactured goods and bring their economic standard up to that of the workers, For this the main slogan has been the Smitchka, or link for establishing closer contact between the towns and the villages. The latest party watchword is Face to the Villages. The reduction of the agricultural tax will help the middle and small pens- ants. The recent decree permitting Peasants to hire agricultural jaborers under the labor-Jaws aids in the em- Ployment of surplus labor forthe har- vest, but at the same time protects the farm laborercfrom exploitation at the hands of the rich peasant.

MAKES STEADY FREIGHT GAIN HARBIN,—(By Mail)—-The admint- stration of the Chinese Hastern Rail- way has published the returns for the first half of the current working year, which coincides with the assumption of functions by the new board. During this period, namely from October 1st, 1924, to March 31st, 1926, the railway carried 133,162,000 poods of commercial goods, as against 101,- 665,000 poods during the correspond- ing period of the preceding year—an improvement of about 31.5 million poods. (The military and service loads are recorded under a special head.) On the mentioned total, grain loads account for 91,393,000 poods, as against 61,842,000 poods last year. The average revenue from the “pood-verst” last year was one twen- ty-sixth kopek (1 kopek equals half cent gold), while, this year, it is one twenty-oneth part of a kopek. Of all the export goods carried by the C. R.R. during the period under review, there were transported on to the Ussuriisk railway: 30,554,000 poods of grain loads and 1,268,000 poods of bean oil, and to the South Manchurian railway: 54,164,000 poods of grain and 5,000,000 poods of bean oil. The financial results for the men- tioned period were also the most favorable, though their exact estl mation is to be made known later. National Guard Is Aid to Businessmen, Says Colonel Conway PHOENIX, Ariz., June 7—The rail purpose of the national guard was made known to the members of the Arizona industrial congress by Col. B. Power Conway, commanding officer of the Arizona national guard. In a In a speech entitled Protection of In- dustry, he declared the guard an as- set to the state in that it affords protection to industry by supplemen- ing the regular army which {fs too small for an emergency. “They (the business men of the state) do not seem to realize that they are the beneficiaries of a com- petenf national guard for the protec- tion of their property. The officers of the national guard are taking every opportunity to explain to the citizens of the state the aims of the guard and it is vitally necessary that the busi- ness men of the state lend their ac- tive support to the organization if their property is to be adequately protected,” he stated.
