While the amount involved in Eng- land approximates 1,000,000 pounds questions of law are expected to arise. The progress of the suit will probably constitute the most important featurs of the case. Should the Bolshevix government succeed in its attempt to get control of the co-operative's cap- ital in England there are indications that a similar move will be inaugur- ated in America. the co-operative so- cieties having offices In New York y London, the assets and atives of Organized Labor in New York Denounce His Anti- Represe Labor Legisiation.

New York, April 14.—Dechial that the open shop movement was in any sense a ‘“‘conspiracy of employers,’” was made today by George W. Sisson, president of the American Pulp and Paper association in addressing the convention of that organization. “I believ he said, “that the rapid spread and spontaneous support of the open shop movement is but a natural reaction to the extremes of conduct and assertion, local and natidnal, of closed shop unionists. *“A labor policy that is economically unsound cannot long endure, for it can only result in disaster to the in- dustry which attempts to maintain 1.

BIG OIL GUSHER Buenos Aires, April 14.—The first big gusher, among the old wells in the government field at Comodoro Rivadavia has just been brought in with an estimated product of 25,000 barrels a day. The previous wells in that district had been small. As this new one is in a new part of the field it is thought that this may mean Argentina is entering on an era of large production. The oil is heavy as is the other oil so far produced at Comodoro Rivadavia, and is of little use except for fuel OOVER ELECTRIC SUCTION SWEEPER AS IT CLEANS It gets all the Dirt, Lint and Deeply Imbedded Grit, without any injury TEL. 2240-22 PRAISE FEMALE SLEUTHS R TR LY England’s Scotland Yard Findg Them Useful in Running Down Criminals London, April 14.—Conservative Scotland Yard is finding. women of decided value on its detective force, edpecially in ferreting out the intrica- cies of certain sorts of crime The talent of these feminine sleuths, it is said, is due largely because of their greater success at practicing decep- tion. And it has been found that they can keep a secret. Many of the women detectives cover assignments at social events where it is necessary for them to wear évening gown and jewels and to display gthe social graces.

ERHAPS the most lnterest- ing development of the last ten years In advertising has been the developing of ad- wvertising by financial institutions. It was not so long ago that the banks In this country, following the examples set by the English banks and contine banks generally, looked upon advertising as undig- nified Therw are several institutions in New York today that spend close to half & million dollars a year In publicity of various sorts—all a de- velopment of the last five years, and it is significant that the institu- tions that have had that courage and vision are the Institutions which are today leading the finan- clal world both In service rendered snd profits made and in growth. Now, that Is Just one side of thé pleture which, perhaps, will give a better idea of the banking attitude towards publicity and advertising, and it Is rapidly developing and has been for the last few years. But an even more significant develop- ment hag been the Inclusion of ad- vertising good will as a bankable ssset In the credit offices and the eredit branches of every large financial lnstitution of New York and in mast of the large centers. [ eould cite¢ you many (nstances of the vislble manifestation of that state of .mind. For Instance, last winter a certaln company Wwas bought by & little group of bankers and refinanced. At that time there Were visible assets of about five lion dollars, liberally appraised, owners sold the business to far West should all be Vice and deeply interested I the ent upon the protection slon of our foreign trade and unless we ean market our surplus P uniess we can keep t! markets of the world open to goods of every description, we not going to i'ave the prosperity at home to which we are entitied. : Now, the banker is willing to his part. He has studied that site-;: atfon, and he is willing to his credit and to go the length of the road, but have behind him the support of business community and, even fors than that, the support of his Gow ernment, because it is very certaln that ‘American goods ‘will not con~ tinue to go around the world unless. . they are followed by the protection of the American flag. And 0 1t is of vast In that there be a greater and understanding of the importance our relations with the rest of world. It 1s very certaln that day has long since gone' by any nation or any individual live unto itself alone, We must n only *live and let live,” as we to say in the old days, but we got to “live and help Nve” In intelligently to help ourselves. within the hands of those who trol the chamnels of p 1 its ramified efforts. Five years ago that wouldn’t have been possible. It would have been laughed “out of court” if anybody had suggested it, and yet that is the serious thought of the day, and I wouldn't be at all surprised to see it fructify in the course of the next year. Now, that educational work is not altruistic entirely or even in a large part. For instance, take this rail- road situation itself. The few mil- llons of dollars that were spent In railroad publicity resulted in an in- creased valuation for the railroads of hundreds of millions of raflroad securities. You can see it written on the right side of the ledger of every railroad in the United States today. i I believe that advertising men in the various technical activities of the country can do a great deal In the furtherance of such productive advertising along educational lnes. For Instance, how closely in touch with the great labor problem and how important it is that there should be a better understanding of the elements that enter into that labor problem and how important it is that there should be a better un- cessity of thrift; second, the neces- |derstanding for the sake of our sity of social and political stability, whole business future. It is really and third, the s h he Y ba ¢! ers for twenty-five million dollars, and In turn that group of bankers passed the business very largely on to the public, which willingly paid considerably more than twenty-five million dollars for it. The fact is that anywhere from twenty to thirty million dollars in the final sale in that particular transaction was advertising good will, and It was treated as such by the shrewdest financiers In this country In appraising the value of that property and refinancing it for public consumption. I might go down through the whole range of American business Interests and cite many Instances of the same general character, The progressive and intelligent banker today, as he sizes up the balance sheet of any Institution, takes Into consideration In a very large de- gree the earning power, the charac- ter of the men included In the or- ganization, the ownership of the business and the prestige and good will that have been created for it by an intelligent promotion effort. Now, the institution which adver. A BIG AMERICAN RAILWAY TERMINAL—ADVE! G HAS THE VALUE OF RAILWAY SECURITIES HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS i quality of its goods establishes for itself a standard of production. It enters Into a compact of faith with the buying public which it cannot break. and one of the great serv- ices that advertising has rendered the world and rendered this coun- try in particular has been in the establishing of standards and ideals of service and production to which the producing corporations have had to live up to In their own manufac- turing processes or in the services they rendered the public, and that has become one of the most impor- tant factors In the creation of good will values. The banker doesn't always see this picture as I have stated it, but one of the lmportant functions that the advertising men of the world have to serve today is to interpret these situations to their own clients on one side and to the public on the other until there is established that § desirable and scientifically exact business arrangements and relation- ships can be built. Advertising as It is understood ! by the banks today has taken on a very much broader scope than a mere selling effort. A great many of them conduct very elaborate ed- ucational campfigns and approve very highly of the educational cam- paigns undertaken by thelr clients. It was my fortunate opportunity to have & hand in the creation of the first educational campaign conduct- ed by any of the reilroads In this cdountry, and by careful cultivation of that sort of publicity and adver- tising effort and by harmonizing the railroad activities in, the fur- therance of such an effort we suc- ceeded In having written on the statute books of the country . the LIBERTY BOND AOVERTISING. WHICH GREATLY INCREASED THE PER_CAPITA 'BANK ACCOUNTS OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE constructive railroad acts that have ever been passed, and ‘t was almost entirely the result of constructive and co-pperative publleity.
