Trade Board Urged by Barnes | To Support Mellon Tax Plan High Pressure Upheld by Report—50-50 System Dead, Zihlman Says—Directors i Plactlon of ten directors to serve ferms of three years, addresses by Representative Frederick Zihlman of Marytand, and Julius . Barnes, pres- sdent of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States; annual reports of the president, secretary and treasurer and reports of committees, occupied the attentlon of more than 700 mem- bers of the Washington Board of “rade who attended the annual meet- ing et the organization last night st the Willard. The following directors were cho- son after close races in the ballot boxes; Edward F. Colladay, 1. J. Murphy, Fred J. White, Walter Klop- for, Howard Moran, David M. Lea, E. C. Graham, John Larner, Willlam T. Gallher and H. L. Rust. Representative Zihlman's address followed the report of the insurance committee on the necessity for high water pressure for the business sec- tion of Washingtoh. The committee, headed by Mr. Lea, pointed out that the high pressure svstem had received the unanimous support of the citi- zens and press of the District Danger of Big Fire. Mr. Les asserted that with fire losses in Washington constantly mounting It wasa plain warning that unless , something was done to i crease ‘pressure to fight possible con- flagrations, the city might at any mo- ment be swept by a disastrous fire which would destroy priceless prop- erty. He particularly congratulated The Evening Star on its work in arousing sentiment to the dangers of the situa- tion. Representative Zhilman said that he concurred with every detail of Mr. Lea's report. “I believe that the Board of Trade 4s capable of putting this thing through,” he said. “With its long list of accomptghments in its many years of existence, I see no rcason why it .cannot Influence sentiment for the J completion of the high pressurc sys- tem. : “The government owes it to Wash- ngton and the nation to adequate! protect from fire this beautiful eft Commissioners refuse recommend it and the budget bur turns a deaf ear, therc are other ways 10 see that it gets before Congress. Tax System Gon “And now I intend to say some- thing that will probably bring me no applayse. It i in relation to the fiscal relatlons. We are face to face with a new era. The fi 4 tion between the government the District is gone and forgotte forgotten except by a few old residents who stiil cling to it the proper relationship. It never return. “In order to get necessary improve- ments in school, water supply, streets end other important needs, there are only two things that vou can do. Either have a bond issue or go to Congress and say that these needs are emergency needs and that you, s citizens of the District, are willing pay increased taxes to accomplish them. “I can see that T was right. There is no applause for these sentiments.” Stressing American industrial lead- ership in the world, Mr. Barnes traced back America’s enterprise, from the invention of the sewing machine and other labor-saving machinery to the present, when the tremendous volume in business is reflected in the record loading of frelght cars, now exceed- ing 1,000,000 weelly. Ingenuity of Americans. The speaker fllustrated American ingenuity when he asserted that at the time of the opening of the Egyp- tian tombs hand-operated silk looms were found. “Progress on this important inven- tion stood still for nearly 4,000 years,” sald Mr. Barnes, “because up o fifty years ago wo were using the same kind of looms that the Egyp- tians used. But look at the situa- tion_now. Machinery now does this work, and in the short space of fifty years America has brought this in- vention up to modern needs. “The same thing is applicable to other inventions. America now is not content to stand still. She is con- stantly forging ahead, No invention now could stand still for fifty years. There is too much competition and too much ingenuity. “Look at the telephones, phono- graphs, vacuum cleaners, washing machines, electricity, railroads, steam- ships, automoblley and radios. What nation could take up a new industry like the automoblle and in twenty years build 92 per cent of the world's supply, and itself use 90 per cent. ‘What nation could, in one vear's time, put a radio set atop practically every home in its borders, so that a per- son’s voice, with all its delicate in- flection, could be heard by 5,000,000 people? Grewth of Wealth. ~And another thing. In the short space of three centuries America's wealth his risen to approximately $30,000,000,000. Compare this to the re- sources the next richest nation, a nation which has taken a thousand years to accumulate it, Great Britain with only $170,000,000,0000. “American industries have secured en enlarged production through the genius for supplementing and enlarg- ing human effort by machine produc- tion. These industrial methods in- volved larger dependence on capital and credit, both for the equipping of industry with machines and ap- llances and also for the generation and distribution of power to operate those machines. “The {deal ot large-scale {ndustry in America today is the ideal of lower costs of products to the ultimate buy- er, and yet by so increasine’ ductivity of every worker that the rolatively high wage scales of Amer- ica can be maintained against any cheap labor competition. But if this process is to be maintained and ad- vanced, producing an ever-increasing stream of articles for use in home, of- fice and factory, it can only be done by increasing capital investment in machine and equipment, It ls mani- fest, therefore, that the investment of liquid capital from every source must be stimulated to come into employing industry by every encouragement. Praige for Mellon. “The government has in its employ, for & salary which private industry would pay merely to a competent au- ditor, an individual who.both by na- ture, ability, opportunity and unigue experiences is equipped to advise the government on financial policies as are few other men in America.

In discussing the work of the twen- ty-eight committees of the board, Mr. CollaGay sald that there was an im- mediatc need for a committee on con- ventions, so that a representative of tho organization might bring before out-of-town Visitors' the most pre: ing need of the District, national rep- resentation. “These gatherings of people from all over the country, having every variety of interest and point of view, afford us an opportunity which we have not yet fully grasped,” sald the speaker. “It {s only because the condition of voteless and unrepresent- ed Wasnington is not understood by our brothers and sisters of the states. that we do not have representation in_ the halls of Congress, the elec- torfal college, the status of Amerl- can citizens beore the federal court: and are so frequently accused of not paying our share of taxes.

Mr. Carr praised highly the efficlent office force and called particular attention to the as- sistance rendered him throughout the year by Assistant Seoretary Richard 1. Connor. Mr. Klopfer showed the finances of the board to be in a sat- izfactory condition. Seven committee reports were pre- sented and adopted. Recommenda- tions and accomplishments cited in the reports follow: The Public Library Committee urged that an increased personnel immedi- | ately be made avallable to the Public Library, and reported the establish- ment of a branch library in the south- east section of the city and purchase of a site in the Mount Pleasant dis- triot. The public and private buildings committes urged the establishment mmediately of a new build! for the District. e Recommending an appropriation during the fiscal year of $2,000,000 to carry on the work of a new water supply system, the water supply com- mittee pointed out that this work can never be accomplished in the ai- lotted time unless adequate appropri- ations are made available. The law commitiee urged a model blue sky law for Washington with an adequate recorder of deeds office.

ELECTION NEXT MONDAY. | l Directors to Choose Board Officers HOWARDIMORAN PINCHOT SEES COAL RING “HARDBOILED” Only for Profits, He Tells American Academy Conference. PHILADELPHIA, Pa., November 17. —The Governor of Pennsylvania, to- gether with a prominent spokesman for the anthracite operators and a leader among the union mine workers, in addresses before the American Academy of Political and Soclal Sclence last night told what Was wrong with the hard coal in- dustry and what the problems were. The academy is conducting a two- day conference on coal. Gov. Pinchot sald that, in his opinion, “the whole combination” was a hard-boiled monopoly whose prime interest in the public was that the public shall consume their coal at thelr prices. Samuel D. Warriner, president of the Lehigh Coal and Navigation Com- pany and chief spokesman for the operators in the recent wage negotia- tions with the miners, said In effect that the anthracite industry was not & monopoly. 4 “A monopoly,” he sald, “cannot be Ubgl'ilul\'u unless there goes with it Public meceasity for the commodity olized. This is certalnly true with anthracite {8 ssecainlymat omas Kennedy, district si- dent of tho United Mine Workers did not touch on the monopoly sugge tion, except to say that the anthra. cite operators were organized and they practically work the same veins at all of the collierics and thero was eason why uniform w. should not exist ST Wage Increase Ji Gov. Pinchot sald that the wage in- crease here, which he had suggested and which was accepted by the miners and operators, was “just and necessary to provide a decent Amer- fcan standard of living." Reiterating that the wage in- crease amounted to 60 cents a ton, the governor said that “the operato not only passed the whole Increase in cost over to the public, absorbing none of it themselves, but took ad- vantage of the situatlon to add to thelr own profit “All the anthracite there n America,” the governor sald, “lies in Pennsylvania. In 1921, forty-elght companies produced 93-per cent of all the commercial tonnage and seventy- four companies produced 99 per cent. Today ten railroad companics pro- duce about three-fourths of it. It s commonly belleved that financial re- lations exist between these ten rail- road companies and some of the so- called Independent operators. -Com- mon report asserts that there has long been and still is a common financlal arrangement between these ten raliroad companies and the an- thracite carrying raliroads. is commonly believed that most of these large companies make ex- orbitant profits through wholesale companies of thelr own and that the wholesale companies afiiated with some of the large operating com- panies take an extortionate return for their services, Thus the Dela- ware, Lackawanna and Western Coal Company, the sales agent of the Glen Alden Coal Company, has paid dividends averaging 50 per cent for each of the six years from 1917 to 1822, inclusive. Mr. Warriner said that no industry had been so thoroughly or so fre- quently investigated by state and na- tional committees, and yet its major problems were imperfectly under- atood. His own answer as to whether an- thracite was & monopoly, he said, s that although anthracite is certainly vested with a public interest, in that the people of a limited section of this country find it a desirable fuel, it do not acquire thereby mny greater in- vestment “of public interest than does any other commodity in com- mon use.” District President Kennedy said that the United States Coal Commis- sion found that the labor cost of & ton of coal was $4.12. “Comparing this $4.13 labor cost previous to the present agreement with the price of coal paid by the consumers, which went as high as $16_per ton,” he sald, the obvious answer would be thaf the wages and the labor cost are not responsible for tho prices Being charged to the consumers in the an- thracite-consuming territory.” U.S. AND POLAND SEE RAIDIO" AID TO AMITY Opening of Warsaw Station Occa- sion for Exchange of Views is PHOTOSYBY AQiiar.: IMURPHYY ‘WHT:GALLIHER, DEMANDS RESULTS FOR COAL PARLEY Wisconsin Governor Tells Pinchot He Will Not Attend Unless Assured. By the Associated Press. MADISON, Wis., November 16.—If the coal conference called by Gov. Gifford Pinchot of Pennsylvania is to be similar to the West Baden con- ference Gov. J. G. Blaine will not be among the chief executives pres. ent. Gov. Blaine made this clear today in a reply to an invitation to attend the Harrisburg conference, in which he Informed Gov. would attend if assured that the conference proposed to do something. “You do not state of what the program consists, nor do you indi- cate the outline of a definite plan for action,” Gov. Blaine points out in his answer. “I remember there was a govern. conference at West Baden not long ago and there were very many val- uable papers to be presented and that In the presentation (or lack of presentation) of those papers there was consumed about flve hours and a half and the conference's attention was directed to a single matter, con- suming about five hours of the con- ference time in an endeavor of some of the governors to draft ané adopt a manifesto proclaiming their own virtues with respect to duties they had taken upon themselves when they took thelr oath of office in their respective state capitals, at the time lindddmb theh manner and form pro- vided by their respective stat: - stitutions. i Would Save Time and Money. “I hesitate to undertake the bur- densg of an obligation to pass upon a program or plan, whatever it may be, i which is withheld until the hour of { the proposed conference, at 2:30 p.m. on November 26 next. “Moreover, out of my record for my own personal financial solvency I hesitate in making the personal financial expenditure in attending a conference unless I am assured by some good and sufficient bond or other enforcible obligation that the conference will be devoted to a con- mideration of the epecific object for which the conference is called. “If 1 am advised of the program which has resulted in the outline of a definite plan for national legislation and for state action, and given your personal aesurance that the confer- ence will be devoted exclusively to that subject, I will be very glad to send a representative with official instruction to attend the conference, and to ald in the carrying out of any plan that will relleve the consumer of extortionate prices for anthracite —_— SHELTER FOR TROOPS.

With flags fluttering gnd the mar- tial music of thelr respective nations reverberating through the hall, more than 200 members of the Alliance In- ternationale Hotellerfe, representing thirteen foreign countries, were en- tertained at dinner by the New Wil lard Hotel Company in the Targe ball- room of that house last night. The visitors, who are touring the | eastern section of the United States as guests of the American hotel men, had been in tow of & special com- mittee of the Washington Hotel Men's Association since their arrival early in the morning, during which time they were received by Presiden Coolidge, and shown the more im- portant points of interest in and near the city. | Welcome was extended them by | | Townley A.

Shea of San Francisco, vice president of the Amer- | ican Hotel Men's Assoclation, here in behalf of securing the republican na- tional conventlon for his home city Responses were made by Georges Barrier of Parls, president of the al- llance, and one of the most widely | known hotel men in Europe: Alexan- dre Emery of Montreux, Switzerland, director of many French and Swiss houses, and Thomas D. Green, presi- dent of the Hotel Men's Association of New York, who is accompanying the tourists. Mr. Barrier was most enthusiastic over the reception extended the trav- elers, being especially touched by the courtesy shown them by President| Coolldge, and said the spirit displayed by the Americans would ald greatly in cementing friendships of the peo- ples represented. Earlier in the day the delegates were entertained at luncheon by Rob- ert S. Downs of the Hotel Washing- ton, and at different Intervals trips to Mount Vernon, Arlington and the Lincoln Memorial were made. The party left today for Philadel- phia and after visiting several other cities_will hold their convention in New York next week. More JOMNIBAI-ARNER: RAIL MEN CONSIDER PROPOSED MERGER Present to I.

Répresentatives of eastern trunk line railroads assembled today at the Interstate Commerce Commission to present views and arguments as to how the transportation situation in | regard to entrance to New York city should be handled in the light of the proposals to consolldate all railroads tn the United States Into a limited number of systems. a plan for the general consolidation is nearly concluded. but differences between the trunk iines, particularly between the New York Central and Baltimore and Ohio, as to control of the Central of New Jersey and the Reading lines in case of consolidation, have yet to be recorded fully. After consideration of these points, the commission will give attention to New York terminal matters on Monday and on Tuesday take up again the study of New England rallroads and the possible treatment of them in consolidation. Arguments of the at torneys for all the roads, for municl. palities, states and shippers' organi- zations will be presented in January. Views of President Willard.

It would raise a question as to whether the Baitimore and Ohio could afford in the futurs to operate any trains into New York city. The Baltimore and Ohio, Mr. Wil- lard continued, would be obliged to spend $13,000,000 before 1928 under present New York laws to electrify its tunnels to Staten Island. It would likewise be forced to find a new route for putting passenger _trains into New York, because the Penneylvania terminal, which it now occuples, will no longer be open to it after Septem- ber 1, 1925.
