It was theater night for his son Samuel, but the little fel- low, obeying parental suggestion, re- Jmained at home. “I don't know why I told him to remain at home,” his father - told friends, “for he is a perfect snow Al Residing near the theater, Dr. Kauf- man received word of the disaster a few moments after the crash. Run- ning to the scene, he quickly grasped the situation, realized the inevitable and telephoned the superintendent of Emergency Hospital to make every vreparation for first aid. Dr. Kaufman directed that ambu- nces, stretchers, doctors and equip- ent be rushed to tHe scene of the accident. He _also requested the superintendent “to telephone simiar requests toother hospitals, especially requesting that Walter Reed Hospital authorities be asked to send ambu- lances and as many stretchers as they could spare.

HOUSE CHAPLAIN PRAYS FOR THOSE DESOLATED BY THEATER DISASTER This prayer was delivered today at the convening of the House of Representatives by Chaplain James Shera Montgomery of the House: “Oh, God, speak. We are waiting for Thy ‘\u:!o_ul spirit and long for Thy voice to cheer. “We ask for fuller light, deeger love and greater faith Our city is smitten, impoverished and ushed by the hand of death. A hlunlty too awful for words! We draw back with trembling. Yet we may be chastened and moved with generous pity and led to deepest reflection. Oh, remember those who are, in the deeolation of ‘their grief, life prisoners- in a dungeon. ‘Cheer the mother in her anguish; be with the father in his unspoken heartbreak and console all heafrts that are o full that their ories cannot be uttered. Oh, forgive our— delays. With us, things are so partial, obscure and uncertain. We see through a glass darkly and sometimes lose our way.- But as the day passes by and the night fast capproaches, we would see Him who took the scourge, the lmr and the cross that all trou- bl hearts might have peace and eternal rest, through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen, - .- - - | | | | PRICE FIXING BY THE | "~ GOVERNMENT L] - A Question for Serious Considération R e M IR Mr. .Manufacturer aflénding the Convention today: 5 Before you eommit yourself to the adoption of the Amer- ican valuation plan as provided for in the Fordney tariff bill, read the following extract taken from an address before the Cleveland, Ohio, Chamber of Commerce on January 17th, 1922, by the Hon. Thomas J. Doherty; for many years asso- _ciated with' the Government as a tariff and customs expert: - “There is another consideration, and a very important one, I want to place before you gentlemen. The inevitable effect of this legislation, in so far as it affects American manufacturers, - will be to bring about price fixing by the Government. “One of the most zealous of all the advocates of American valuation has repeatedly and urgently insisted that the most effective way, and, in fact, the only way to make this plan : workable, is for the Government, either through the Depart= ment of Commerce, or the Department of the TreaSury. or the Tariff Commission, or the Board of General Appraisers, to establish and then proclaim values for commodities, which val= : ues shall be the only values recognized by the customhouse in appraising foreign merchandise for duty. “Do not fail to note here that that does not merely mean price fixing for foreign commodities. It means price fixing for domestic commodities, because it is at the prices of domestic commodities that similar foreign commodities are to be ap- praised. ' “Now if-you gentlemen want the Government to go into the business of fixing prices for you, all right. But do not as- sent to this blindly. Remember that all the hardship will not fall -~ upon the importers. Remember that that means the Federal Trade Commission going into your books—prying into all your . costs and expenses, and profits, so as to determine what a proper price should be. Talk about too much Government in : business! Why then there will be more Government than bus- 3 - iness in business. = - 5 “For the Government to proclaim values of commodities for duty purposes would necessarily and inevitably resultingiving || such proclaimed prices an official endorsement, which would ’ have the effect of fixing the price. If all other arguments _against this preposterous scheme leave you cold, this one i should be sufficieat to enlist your earnest opposition.” : , / Committee of Manufacturers Opposed to “American Valuation” j Morse & Burt-Co., New York City.
