M. Herr Quite unsought, such an opportun- ity came to him. He was asked to take charge of the St. Paul rail- road's Milwauke power east of the Mississippi river. Thus he became boss of the very place where he had served his ap- prenticeship. After @ period with the Chicago & Northwestern, and later with the Northern Pacific, as superintendent of moti power, Geor Westing- | house In 1898 Induced him to leave |railroading and accept a position with him, | MISSION TASK 18 STEPPING STONE As this move proved the most im- portant one of Herr’s whole career, | {t ts interesting ton ote how Westing- house was first attracted to the man who was subsequently to become | president of the principal Westing- | house enterprise. Westinghouse had taken part in an | elaborate series of texts of air brakes | conducted by the Master Car Bulld- erm’ asnociation on the C. B. & Q road w Herr was assistant en- |gineer of tent In 1886, From that time until 1898 Herr did not see Weatinghouss, but Herr’s capabilities | had been noted by the famous inven- tor of the alr brake and retained In | his memory for more than a decade, ‘Thus It was the efficiency displayed in & minor capacity which led direct- ly to hin becoming president of the Westinghouse Electric. It took Herr 13 years to climb from tho assistant general manager- ship of the Westinghouse Air Brake Co. to the presidency of the largest company of the Westinghouse group. His elevation to the presidency came jin 1911, shortly after the retirement, Wut before the death of the com- pany’s brillant founder, PUT BUSINESS INTO POLITICS Draft Nonpartisan Planks A “platform for American indus- try,” aid for which will be sought at tho next session of congress, will be drawn up on May 15, at the annual meeting of the National Association of Manufacturers in New York city.

CAUTION WILL AID BUSINESS The spirit of caution has developed in every business quarter to a marked degree, says the Bache Review. The effect has, however, been salutary. Prices of commodities were advanc- ing too rapidly, speculation was de- |ing about buyers’ strikes against the offending commodity, and, if prices) do not yield under such circum- stances, the strike extends to all com- modities and the general break fol- lowa. But prices have already yield- ed, especially in those articles which wero being pushed up too far. Tho Standard Statistics service sives a list of nine commodities whose prices havo, declined season- ably. They are mainly of things that had advanced unduly beyond the rel- ative level. They are: Cotton, which has gone down 12 per cent from the 1923 high; print cent; lead, 10% per cent; zinc, 15 per cent; crude rubber is down 15 per cent; bitum{nous coal, 38 per cent; mid-continent crude petroleum, 5 per cent. But all these are still very materl- ally above the 1921 low prices, Some | of them may decline further, there fs no evidence of general over production or of accumulation of products.
