“SPYING ON TRADE FVIL, BUTLER SAYS Senator Asserts Time Has Come for Curtailing Fed- eral Supervision. Br the Assoctated Press. PHILADELPHIA, tice to bustness, there <hould be a cur tailment of Federal bur and com- missions engaged in invest 5 the industrial machine, Senator William M. Butler of Massachusetts, chalrman of the Republican national committee declared last night in an address be- fore the Textile Manufacturers' Asso- clation. The time has arrived, when business, ‘“seeking to stand four-square with the Government,” might ask Congress to give it credit for “good intentions and sincerity of activities” by halting the multiplica- tion of supervising agencies. “The Government, with justice to the members of the great American industrial family, can go further,” he continued, “and begin an_elimination of certain of the boards, bureaus, de partments and commissions of Paul- Prying activity, and accomplish sub- stantial saving of the public pay roll Without any loss of public service. “In these days of sharp industrial competition there are but few of us who have either time or energy to &ive over to the answering of useles: questionnaires. T believe the time has arrived when the business men of the country, with confidence based on the fact they have nothing to conceal, can propose the holding of a conference with the proper officials, at which the character of information desired ay® the form in which it should be sub mitted can be discussed with an im- provement of relations.” Asserting there was a mutual dis- trust existing between business and Congress, Senator Butler said it in- jured the efficiency of American indus- iry and involved the useless expendi- ture of considerable sums “by busi- ness in fits attempt to watch Con gress."” i "I .am not ready to say these watch- | ing posts can be dismantied,” he | sald, “but I think steps should be taken to see if, through the develop- ment of a better understanding, their continuation could not be made un- necessary."” The most important and vital obli- gation resting upon Americans in con nection with industry, he asserted, i the preservation of the American liv- ing standards and the American wage scale. ““We must guard our manufacturing industries,” he declared, “for upon them our national prosperity in a large measure depends. The American farmer is deeply interested in the pros- perity of manufacture. We cannot tolerate a condition whereby the wage scale abroad will fix the wage scale of America, or the standard of living abroad is to be imposed upon our peo- ple in America.” May 22.—TIn jus he insisted, Army Officers on Detail.

It is in the interest of trade and in- dustry the world over that gold shall not continue to come here.” Last year, he continued, the trade balance in favor of the United States 'was approximately $1,000,000,000, while foreign loans floated in this country aggregated about the same amount.

WINS POINT AGAINST 49 OIL CASE DEFENDANTS Appeals Bench Sustains Introduc- tion of Contracts in Anti- Trust Suit. 37 the Associated Press. CHICAGO, May 22.—By a ruling of the United States Circuit Court of Appeals yesterday sustaining the in- troduction of alleged contracts among 49 defendant oll companies, the Gov- vernment advanced a step in its prosecution charging a violation of the Sherman anti-trust act. Among the defendant companies were the Standard Ofl Co. of Indiana, Standard Ol Co. of New Jersey and the Texas Co. The companies had objected to an attack by the Government on these contracts, which related to the oll- cracking process. An adverse ruling would have virtually ended the prosecution. The court set May 25 as the date for hearing of further objections by the defendants. —_— In 1877 all the telephones in the world were made by two men in a ! shop in Boston. MAY . 22, 1925.
