Tri-Weekly Market Reports
COTTON
MEW YORK, Nev. 10. —The cotton mar
ket opened unchanged to 23 points higher,
and sold 35 to 45 points above last night’s
closing during the early trading with De
cember touching 10.20 and January 18.78.
There was Wall street buying on the stead
;; ler tone of the stock market and sterling
excmmge and there was also scattering sup
port promoted by unfavorable weather in the
south. Temperatures were reported down to
§ freezing in northern parts of Texas while
there were rains in south Texas and at oth
e.r P°ints in the western belt and the Mis
sissippi valley. Map readers expected that
the low temperatures would work eastward
toight preceded by rain, and while southern
spot markets were lower yesterday, very
little southern hedge selling was reported
this morning.
The forenoon advance carried December
np to 19.32 and January to 18.85, or about
50 to 54 points above last night's closing
\ quotations. The bulk of the demand, how
ever, was attributed to realizing by shorts
and the failure of buying to broaden was
a disappointment to some of the early
buyers for a reaction. This led to scatter
ing liquidation and the market weakened
around mid-day with January selling off to
18.35 or within 4 points of yesterday’s quo
tation. The weekly report of the weather
Bureau made a favorable showing but was
■Without any important influence.
After selling off to 18.11 c for January and
18c for March, or 15 to 20 points net lower
during the early afternoon, reports of
•weaker eastern belt spot market, futures
rallied on covering, January recovering to
18.50 c. but sentiment was still unsettled,
and advances were not fully maintained
around 2 o’clock.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON
NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 100.—A reaction
from yesterday's decline carried the price
of cotton up for fairly wide gains in the
first half hour of business today. December
rising to 18.40. At this level the trading
inonths were 37 to 42 points over yester
day’s final prices. Better cables than due
helped the advance.
Heavy realizing of profitse appeared o
the short side and buying for long account
was done with considerable confidence so
that in the trading up to 11 o’clock the ac
tive months were sent 52 to 62 points over
the final prices .of yesterday, December
touching 18.56 and May 17.75.
Unfavorable reports from other markets,
the drop tin sugar, the unfavorable figures
from the steel trade and bearish British’
board of trade export returns on cotton goods
•nd yarns for October, caused a selling wave
after the middle of the session, and in the
trading up to 1 o’clock the active months
were sent to levels 17 to 35 points under the
final prices of yesterday. December dropped
to 17.73 c.

SHEPARD & GLUCK COTTON LETTER
NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 10.—While the
cotton market advanced in the early trading
today, reacting in a fairly strong way from
the decline of yesterday, fresh weakness
took possession of it later and prices went
to new low levels for the long decline
that is now under way. From net advances
of 52 to 62 points the market fell to net
declines of 19 to 55 [joints. December
traded as high as 18.56 and as low at 17.73.
The renewed weakness was due, as usual,
to bad trade accounts and bear movements
in other markets. The drop of raw sugar
to 6% cents a pound in the New York
market and the unfavorable October re
port by the Steel corporation bad much to
do with the selling, as did the British
Board of Trade figures on October exports,
which placed shipments of yarns at 10,-
400,000 pounds, against 14,300,000 in Octo
ber of last year and shipments of cloths
at 304,900,000 yards, against 393,200,000.
There were further accoutns of mills clos
ing down and of price reductions on all
manner of manufactured goods, w’hich tend
ed to increase bearish sentiment. ,
The wet freeze failed to materialize and
the weekly crop reports from the government
were about as favorable as could be ex
pected at thi“ time of the year. We feel
that cotton Is a purchase on recessions from
these low’ levels but the proof is to be had
almost daliy that it Is unwise to attempt
to follow advance’s too far under present
conditions, 'i
Profit taking on the short side caused
steadiness on the close and last prices were
at net gains for the day of 21 to 34) points.

THE ATLANTA TRI-WEEKLY JOURNAL.
Prices in October Go
Down Seven Per Cent
Bradstreet’s Index Number of Commodity
Prices as of November 1, 1920, ?15,750,
marks a decline of 7.3 per cent from October
1, of 24.9 per cent from the high peak point
of February 1, 1920, of 21.2 per cent from
November 1 a year ago, of 17 per cept from
Novemler 1, 1918, and of 8.2 per cent from
November 1, 1917. It Is, in fact, necessary
to go back to June, 1917, to find a lower
index rumber thnn that of November 1.
Compared with the number reached on
August 1, 1914, the present number is 80
pet cent higher. In other words, the price
level pn* November 1 is seen to have lost 43
per cent, or about two-fifths of the rise that
had occurred in five and one-half years of
high-priced war or hlgher-prieed peace. In
October the aggregate of the prices per
pound of ninety-six articles declined $1.23.
The Jaigest decline in any one month hltn
erto shown was that of $1.07, in September,
and the largest monthly g«ln there Is record
of was sl.ll, from July 1 to August 1, ll'lii.
In the period from December 1, 1918, just
after the armistice, to March 1, 1919, when
the peace reaction ceased, a period of three
months, the price level rtn pped by $1.89, or
10 per cent, wide in the period from March
1, 1919, to February 1, 1920, eleven months,
the price rose by $3.64, or 21 per cent. In
the period from January, 1892, to July 1,
1896, the pi ice level dropped by $2.43, or by
30 per cent, while the rise from July 1,
1896, to December, 1902, a period of six
years, was $2.44, or 43 per cent. These
rls-s, of course, are from' one designated
point to another, and are n'ot the rises or
falls shown in the annual index numbers,
whch are averages of the tntire twelve
months, and which did not show such sharp
declines or advances, except once, and then
in the calenoar year 1917, when this country
entered the war. In that year the annual
index number rose by $3.81, whl’.h marked
the greatest rise or fall that occurred in
any annual index number, although the de
<line from February 1 to November 1, 1920,
totaled $5.20, or by 24.9 per cent. The pro
portions of the net decline shown in October,
7.3 per cent, the fact that all groups of
commodities joined to a greater or lesser
extent in this decline, and that fifty-eight
commodities irOved lower, stamps the Octo
ber movement as an exceptional one.
Flour Breaks Below

MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., Nov. 9. —

years, flour sold under the $lO a
barrel mark at the mills here

CHICAGO, Nov. 9.—Grain prices
touched new lows in the present
movement in trading on the Chicago

cline was led by wheat, which closed
off from 7 to 70 cents from the open
ing quotations. Other grains fell in
sympathy. December corn was off
2 3-4 from the opening and corn for
May delivery lost 2 1-2 Cents from
the opening.

Press & Co.: The big supplies of corn,
both oli and pew, make it almost impossible
to make headway on the buying side.

Republicans Gain
Three Congressmen
In Volunteer State
MEMPHIS, Tenn., Nov. 9.—Com
pletion early today of the official
canvass in the Eighth congressional
district, giving Lon A. Scott, Repub
lican; a majority of 638 votes and
the victory over his Democratic op
ponent, Gordon Browning, fixed the
political alignment of the Tennessee

resentatives, on the face of the re
turns, as five Republicans and five
Democrats—a net Republican gain
of three members.
The state’s electoral vote went 1 to
Senator Harding, and Alf Taylor, Re
publican, was elected governor.

Wilson Asks Colby
To Visit Nations
In South America
WASHINGTON. Nov. 10.—(By the
Associated Press.) —President Wil
son formally announced last night
that he had directed Secretary Col
by, of the state department, “on my
behalf and in my stead” to visit
Brazil and Uruguay in acknowledge
ment of thev.recent visits to this
country of the presidents of thos«
two republics.
In addition, the president said he
would be gratified if Mr. Colby took
the opportunity also to visit Buenos
Aires in response to the recent invi

government.
“It has long been my hope that
I might personally return these vis

sued at the conclusion of yesterday’s
cabinet meeting, said regarding the
recent tours in this country of Pres
idents Brum, of Uruguay, and Pes

of no worthier object to which I
could dedicate my time and strength;
but I am prevented from doing so
and cannot longer postpone the
agreeable courtesy of their recipro

Plans for Movement to
Lessen Cotton Acreage
Are Getting Under Way
Plans for launching a movement
throughout the cotton belt for heavy
reductions of cotton acreage next
ye*®i were being formulated Tuesday
by L. B. Jackson, director of the
state bureau of markets of Georgia;
F. O. Hooten, director of the Ala
bama state market bureau; B. Har
ris, commissioner of agriculture cf
South Carolina, and Senator Hoke
Smith, of Georgia.
. It was the sense of these officials
that cotton acreage should be re
duced next year from 33 1-3 to 50
per cent. They thought the reduc
tion should be observed generally
throughout the south, so that some
states would not reduce while oth
ers were planting a normal acreage.
There probably will be called in
the near future, as the result of their
discussion of the subject, a general
meeting of all commissioners of ag
riculture. market bureau directors,
congressmen and senators of the
cotton states.
TAXEQUALIZATION
DECISIONMAYMAKE
MEASURE INVALID
That the decision by the United
States supreme court declaring the
arbitration provisions of the tax
equalisation law of Georgia may
have the effect of rendering the
whole law unenforceable, and may
thereby necessitate an extraordinary
session of the legislature to revise
the law before the tax returns are
made for next year, was the opinion
expressed Tuesday by state officials
who were making a close study of
the decision.
Henry J. Fullbright, state tax
commissioner, had telegraphed to
Washington for a copy of the su
preme court’s decision, and expected
it to arrive on Wednesday. Comp
troller General William A. Wright
was analyzing the effect of the de
cision upon the operation of the law
insofar as he was able to do so
without the text of the decision be

CONSTITUTIONALITY OF LAW
NOT PASSED ON BY COURT
WASHINGTON, Nov. 9. —The es
tate of J. O. Morton, of Brooks
county, Georgia, was denied due
process of law when its tax assess
ments was fixexd. the supreme court
held in a verbal opinion Monday
overruling decrees of the Georgia
supreme court. The printed opinion
of the court, which became available
Tuesday, shows that the question of
the constitutionality of the Georgia
tax equalization act of 1913 was not
passed upon.
The court upheld contention of
representatives of the estate that
they had the right to be heard be
fore the assessmnt was finally fixed.
The assessors raised the assess
ment of the estate to $80,650, which
the representatives said was exces
sive and demanded arbitration. The
three arbitrators failed to reach a
majority opinion and under the
Georgia law the figure fixed by the
board became the final assessment
without the representatives of the
estate being heard.
BANKERS PREPARE
TO TAKE STOCK IN
COTTON CONCERN
(Continued from Page 1)
stock, as stated, will be $12,000,000,
of which $6,000,000 will be paid in. Un
less this entire fund Is subscribed
and in sight by December 10, next,
the project will be abandoned, but
this is highly improbable, since bank
ers, business men and exporters fa
miliar with the objects of the insti
tution are certain the subscriptions
Will be forthcoming.
To Help Exports
The object of the foreign finance
corporation is to stimulate and en
courage the exportation and distribu
tion in foreign markets, through sat
isfactory credit arrangements, or
products of the s.outh —manufactured
and agricultural, with especial at
tention to cotton, rice, sugar and
lumber.
The corporation is the second of
the sort to be organized under the
provisions of the Edge act, and its
paid-in capital of $6,000,000 will ex
ceed by three times the capital of a
similar foreign trade bank recently
organized and now in satisfactory
operation in New York.
Foreign finance corporations, such
as the institution organized' at New
Orleans, will supplement the federal
reserve system as a means for fa
cilitating credits and thus encour
aging business By special provision
in tne federal reserve act national
banks are authorized to subscribe
to the capital stock of such insti
tutions, and the institutions, in turn,
subject to the supervision of the fed
eral reserve board at Washington,
may establish branch banks in for
eign countries to promote better
trade relations and facilitate credit
arrangements.
Under the organization plan adopt
ed at New Orleans for the Federal
Foreign Finance corporation, it is
estimated that if the banks of the
southern states will subscribe three
per qft»t of their capital and surplus
to the stock of the finance corpo
ration the capital of sl2/100,000 will
be pr zided, of which, as announced,
only fifty per cent, or $6,000,000, will
be paid in.
The state and national banks of
Georgia, off which there were 811,
according to the record of December,
1919, have an ggregate capital and
surplus of $99,844,000—5100,000,000,
in round numbers. Os this sum the
capital and surplus of the Atlanta
banks amounts (o approximately
$19,000,000.
Besnlt® Expected Here
According to the organization
plans, the state and national banks
will be requested to subscribe three
per cent of their capital and surplus
to the stock of the Federal Foreign
Finance corporation. Thus, if all of
the Atlanta hanks “sign on the dot
ted line,” as is ahticlnated and seems
likely, over half rnillion dollars of
the capital stock of the foreign
trade bank will be held in Atlanta.
Assuming that every bank in Geor
gia participates in the foreign fi
nance corporation. $3,000,000 of the
capital stock of the Federal Foreign
Finance corporation, or 25 per cent
of the whole, will be provided in
Georgia.
But the organization committee, in
its New Orleans meeting, in working
out the details of the giant banking
corporation, was governed by a spirit
of conservatism, and fixed the initial
capital of the foreign finance cor
poration at a figure which, it is con
fidently believed, will be subscribed
in the allotted time, even though
some of the banks in the territory
may be tardy in recognizing its im
portance to the southern section .and
its immediate value to them as a bev
enue producing agency.
It is obvious, however, from the
scope and character of the corpora
tion, that the growth and expansion
of its activities may require addi
tional capital, and the organizers
feel that its demonstrated worth will
invite not only tardy bankers, but ex
porters and other business interests
to invest in the corporation.
The conference of Atlanta bankers
at which the Federal Foreign Finan.ce
corporation was launched was one of
the most representative ever held in
Atlanta. The speeches of Senator
Hoke Smith and Messrs. Maddox, Ott
ley, Lane, Wellborn and McCord were
heard with the deepest interest and
evident approval.
Estimate Indorsed
After hearing the detailed objects and
possibilities of the corporation illumi
nated by Messrs. Ottley and Lane,
the assembled bankers nodded un
questioned assent to Senator Smith’s
declaration that the institution, in
value to the south, was second only
in importance to the federal reserve
banking system and the establish
ment of a regional bank in the cot
ton belt.
At the conference Tuesday after
noon, the formal report of the com
mittee of organization, as presented
to the New Orleans meeting, was not
read, but its details were discussed
by Messrs. Maddox, Ottley and Lane,
who also dwelt upon the immediate
importance of the foreign finance cor
poration and its potentialities for
improving permanently business con
ditions in the south.
Mr. Maddox discussed the origin
of the corporation at the recent con
vention of the American Bankers’ as
sociation at Washington. He dis
claimed having originated the plan
himself, and told how, at a confer
ence of southern bankers the sug
gestion of such an organization met
with general approval. . Following a
special committee was appointed to
investigate the plan and he was
chairman of this committee, and on
the strength of the committee's re
port he called the New Orleans meet
ing, which resulted in the organiza
tion of the corporation.
Mr. Ottley, who served as a mem
ber of the organization committee at
the New .Orleans convention, spoke
of the importance of the corporation,
and recounted how its operatjon
would innure to the material growth
and development of the south. He
emphasized the importance of expedi
tious action, and urged that it is a
EUROPE WANTS TO
DISPLAY PRODUCTS
AT ATLANTA SHOW
Concrete evidence of the fact that
foreign countries, after five years of
war and business stagnation, are
eager for a world’s exposition at
which to promote their products,
was given in the statement Tuesday
by Councilman R. A. Gordon that
the British government last spring
sought to place an exhibit in At
lanta, but could find no space big
enough to accommodate it.
“Representatives of the. British
government approached local civic
authorities to secure space for an
exhibit of Birtish products? to run
for nine weeks this fall,” said Mr.
Gordon. “As chairman of the audi
torium committee of city council, I
offered the auditorium and sent to
England blue prints of the building,
showing its dimensions. The an
swer came back that the building
was too small and the plan for an
exhibit would have to be abandoned.
“This not only shows the interest,
other nations would take in a world’s
fair in Atlanta in 1925, but indicates
what a tremendous affair it would
be. It is not too much to believe
that other nations would have their
own buildings at the fair; that the
British building, for instance, would
be bigger than anything in Atlanta
now.
“It is evident that thff nations of
the world, the business men and
business houses of the world, would
leap at a world’s fair as the chance
to further their interests, held back
by the war and the unsettled condi
tions following the war. I believe
Atlanta could hold a world’s expo
sition that would eclipse any in his
tory.”
Mr. Gordon stated that, although
the proposal for a world’s fair has
been revived only in the last. few
days, he has already received a num
ber of voluntary offers from Atlan
tians to support the plan with sub
stantial subscriptions. Everywhere
interest in the plan and enthusiasm
for the expoistion is marked.
Mayor Key is expected Wednesday
to name a' date for a meeting of
civic interests to discuss the pro
posal, in accordance with a resolu
tion introduced in council, naming
a number of commercial organiza
tions to be included in the call. AU
of these have appointed committees
except the Atlanta Clearing House
association, which will hold a meet
ing Tuesday afternoon at which the
exposition proposal will be broached.
Tlie exposition was indorsed Tues
day by the Greater Atlanta lodge of
the Knights of the Caccabees, the
commander of which sent to The
Journal a letter in which he said:
“I invite sister fraternal organiza
tions oLall kinds to join with us in
assisting Mayor James L. Key and
associates in every way in launching
this great project.
“The members of the Maccabees
believe that a large national or in
ternational fair of this kind would
stimulate lodge activity among all
the fraternal orders, and would be
a great incentive to invite their state
and national organizations to hold
their state and national conventions
in Atlanta at that time. Thus bring
ing thousands and thousands of peo
ple from all sections of the world
who cannot help but be impressed
with our climate and the advan
tages of our fair city. With this
object in ivew the following commit
tee has been appointed to represent
the Maccabees in this great under
taking: Past State Commander M. D.
Gleason, Deputy State Comrqander
S. W. Smith, Commander J. A. Kin
man, Past Commander J. A. Dabney
and Past Commander W. C. Flury.
THREATEN APPEAL
IN COCA-COLA
INJUNCTION CASE
The highest court in the United
States will, be called upon by the
Coca-Cola company if the federal
court of Delaware grants a perma
nent injunction to the Coca-Cola
Bottling company, of Chattanooga,
Tenn., holding the syrup contract be
tween the two concerns to be a per
petual one.
This was the statement made
Tuesday by counsel for the Coca-
Cola company, following the an
nouncement on Monday that Judge
H. M. Morris, of Wilmington. Del.,
had issued a temporary injunction
restraining the Coca-Cola company
from cancelling its contract to fur
nish the bottlers with syrup at the
contract price, 97 cents per gal
lon.
Although .the original contract
price of the syrup, as stipulated in
the alleged perpetual agreement, was
97 cents per gallon, the parent bot
tlers, it is explained, have not insist
ed upon the enforcement of this fea
ture of the contract. The issue in
volved has turned on the validity of
the agreement, and not the price of
the syrup.
Price to Stay game
Pending the litigation, the parent
bottlers and the Coca-Cola company
have operated under a joint agree
ment. whereby the price of the syrup
was fixed at thirty-day intervals on
the basis of the price of sugar. The
price of the syrup at present and for
sometime heretofore has been fixed
on a basis of 20-cent sugar, and the
parent bottlers have been paying the
Coca-Cola company $1.57 per gallon
for syrup, instead of 97 cents per gal
lon, as fixed in the original contract.
The parent bottlers, in turn, hav •
supplied the syrup to subsidiary bot
tlers at $1.72 per gallon.
The price agreement will continue
in operation, it is stated, pendifig the
final outcome of hte case.

NEW EDUCATIONAL
CONSTITUTION IS
BORN IN GEORGIA
The ratification last Tuesday of
the constitutional amendment requir
ing a local school tax to be levied by
every county in the state, and the
ratification of the amendment au
thorizing county high schools, prac
tically creates a new educational con
stitution in Georgia, according to Dr.
M. L. Brittain, state school superin
tendent.
The local school tax amendment
appears to have carried by the larg
est majority of all the amendments
on the ticket, while the high school
amendment was likewise ratified by
a very large majority. Dr. Brittain
already is receiving congratulations
from educators in distant parts of
the country who appreciate the im
portance of these constitutional
changes in the educational progress
of the state. i
Georgia’s constitution of 1877 made
scant provision for education. It
authorized only four counties in the
state —Chatham, Richmond, Bibb and
Glynn—to levy a local tax for school
purposes. It applied to>public schools
the name “common schools,” which
seems to have been a most precise
shading of phraseology to express the
exact idea in the minds of the con
stitution makers. It authorized no
county, except the four named, to
have high schools. The only thing
it allowed in the way of education,
was an appropriation of funds from
the state treasury, by the legislature,
“for the elementary branches of an
English education.” In other words,
“reading, writing and arithmetic.” It
authorized nothing for higher educa
tion except “occasional donations, as
the condition of the treasury may
permit,” to the University of Geor
gia, at Athens.
Plainly, the writers of the consti
tution of 1877 were not violently en
thusiastic over public education. The
leading intellects of that convention
were men whose education, prior to
the war, in the old regime of aristo
cratic feudalism, had been obtained
from private’ tutors and private acad
emies.
For twenty-nine years after the
adoption of the constitution of 1877,
no county in Georgia, except the four
named, could levy a local tax for
school purposes. There was no meth
od provided in the constitution, even
if a county wanted to tax itself for
schools. In 1906 the legislature passed
and the people subsequently ratified,
the McMichael amendment allowing
counties to levy a local school tax
where recommended by two- succes
sive grand juries and approved by
two-thirds of all the registered vot
ers in an election held for that pur
pose. While this was distinctly a
forward step, it sill imposed upon
local school taxes a very great handi
cap.
Fulton county, whose schools then
were headed -by Dr. M. L. Brittain,
held three elections before the local
school tax obtained the necessary
two-thirds majority. Immediately
the county schools jumped forward
from five months to nine months.
The appropriation jumped from $15.-
000 a year, which was the county’s
pro-rata share of the state appropria
tion, to $60,000 a year from the local
school tax. One by one other coun
ties fought their way to the local
school tax. It usually .required two
or three campaigns to “put over”
the local school tax majority of two
thirds. It was even more difficult
than issuing bonds. . Finally sixty
nine counties got the tax by this dif
ficult process.
Then came relief in the Elders-
Carswell amendment passed by the
legislature in 1919 and ratified by the
people last Tuesday. It does ont
merely allow every county to levy a
local tax for school purposes—it
requires them to do so. This means,
or will mean eventually, that every
county in Georgia will have nine
months’ schools. The high school
amendment means that every county
eventually will have an up-to-date
high school preparing its students
for college admission.
The local school tax, of course, de
prives no county of its pro-rata shaie
of the state appropriation. It sup
plements that appropriation with lo
cal funds in each county. To give
nine-months’ schools in every county
with a state appropriation alone, un
aided by local funds, would take not
less than $25,000,000 a year, or four
times the total revenue of the state
from all sources. Thus the great
legislative shibboleth of ‘ increased
appropriations ‘ for the common
schools,” which has resounded in the
capltol during every session of the
legislature, had more sound than sub
stance. It never was and never would
be possible for the state treasury
without local funds, .to finance an
ade quate public school system.
Says Rice Growers
Face Ruin if Price
Is Not Stabilized
LITTLE ROCK, Nov. 8. —E. A.
Eignus, of Beaumont, Texas, secre
tary of the Southern Rice Growers
association, told June P. Wooten.
United States district attorney at a
conference here today, that rice
growers would face ruin unless some
action is permitted that would stab
ilize the price of their product.
The conference, attended by rep
resentatives of the rice growing and
milling interests, was called by Mr.
Wooten to obtain an explanation of
the action taken in the rice indus
try to establish a standard price for
rice grown in Louisiana, Arkansas
and Texas to determine, according
to Mr. Wooten, whether the Lever
food control act or Sherman antfi
trust law had been violated.
Mr. Wooten said he would take the
explanations presented under ad
visement. He declined to say wheth
er the investigation would be con
tinued. ,
Mr. Eignus said $5 a barrel nad
been agreed upon as a standard price
in an effort to give the farmers
enough for their produce to carry
them over until next year. This
price, he declared, was below the
cost of production and $3 a barrel
less than the price recommended by
the association early in the season.

Savannah to Invite
Harding to “Call”
SAVANNAH, Ga., Nov. 9. —Senator
Harding has visited Savannah once—
in the spring of 1919 —and an invi
tation will shortly be extended to
him by the Savannah board of trade
and other civic organizations to stop
by here on his way back from the
Panama caual trip. The board of
trade will probably have the Rotary
and Kiwanis clubs and other bodies
unite in inviting the president-elect.
John H, Monroe, chief of the Sa
vannah fire department struck up
quite a friendship with Senator Hard
ing on his visit here. He has writ
ten the senator his congratulations
and believes a concerted invitation
from Savannah organizations would
result in the senator making this “a
port of call” on his way home from
the canal zone.
GRAFJ CHARGED
BY PROBERS OF
SHIP BUILDING
I
WASHINGTON, Nov. 10.—(By the 1
Associated Press.) —Corruption of ;
employes and officials of the ship- |
ping board emergency fleet corpo- I
ration, in purchasing supplies i
for, and in repairing government- '
owned merchant ships, and the use
of political or other influence in ob
taining contracts for ship construc
tion and the allocation of completed
vessels to operating companies, are
among a maze of charges made in a
report submitted to the house com
mittee on shipping board operations
by A. M. Fisher and J. F. Richard
son, former employes of the board.
Mr. Fisher, who formerly was con
nected with the federal trade com
minion, made a survey for the ship
ping board as to record-keeping sys
tems in the office of the lumber ad
ministration. Mr. Richardson, for
twenty years a newspaper man, was
employed for several years in the
board’s department of investigation.
Taking up in detail seven general
phases of the board’s activities, the
report charged gross waste of gov
ernment funds, improperly drawn
contracts, which cost the government
large sums and failure of the vari
ous divisions of the board to co-op
erate efficiently, and the alfnost com
plete failure of some of the divisions
to function properly.
Padding of Palrolls
Padding of payrolls by firms re
garding shipping board vessels, own
ership by companies operating gov
ernment vessels of stock in compa
nies furnishing supplies to those
craft at prices ranging anywhere
from 40 to 50 per cent above whole
sale costs, wholesale theft of sup
plies and equipment from ships, and
the loss of millions of dollars through
improperly secured loans made to
contractors building government ves
sels also were charged.

New Invention Sent on 30 Days’
Trial Without Expense to You
Simply send me your name and I will
send you my new copyrighted rupture
book and measurement blank. When you re
turn the blank I will send you my new in
vention for rupture. When it arrives put
it on and wear it. Put it to every test
you can think of. The harder the test the
better you will like it. You will wonder
how you ever got along with the old style
cruel spring trusses or bolts with leg straps
of torture. Your own good, common sense
and your own doctor will tell you it is
the only way in which you can ever expect
a cure. After wearing it 30 days, if it is
entirely satisfactory in every way—
if it is not easy and comfortable—if you
cannot actually see your rupture getting
better, and if not convinced that a cure is
merely a question of time, just return it
and you are out nothing. Any rupture ap
pliance sent on 30 days’ trial without ex
pense to you is worth a trial. Tell your
ruptured friends of this. EASY-HOLD Co.,
5008 Koch Bldg.. Kansas City, Mo.
