INFORMATION POOL
TO HELP AMERICAN
GOMMERCIONES
BY FREDERIC J. HASKIN 1
WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 10.—
The next device to increase and |
protect American foreign trade
probably will be the important com
bination. In all probability congress
will be asked at the forthcoming
session to enact legislation which
K will authorize combinations of im-
porters, dealing in the same gen- (
eral line of goods, to form associa- I
tions or co-operative organizations :
through which they may jointly im- '
port their goods. Importers are in :
need of some new method to enable .
them to keep possession of theirj
home market. |
About a year ago a new flood of
imports began coming into the
United States. The Fordney tariff |
bill was designed to keep them out |
so that the American market would ,
be kept as a special prerogative of I
the American producer and manu- ,
facturer, but it did not succeed very |
well at this. The reason is the
high price and wage level in this
country. Over the last twelve to ,
eighteen months prices have been ;
climbing up. By the first of 1923 ?
they had reached a level where for
eign-made goods. produced with
cheap labor, could come into the
United States, pay the high tariff
rates, and still undersell American
goods made with the highest paid
labor in the world.
There are many American manu
facturers using foreign raw material.
They import this, manufacture it
into finished goods in the United
States and sell to the Apiericafi con- .
sumers. They can buy abroad on |
about the 1 same basis with foreign
manufacturers using the same types :
of raw material, but when the ma
terial is brought here for manufac- :
lure, higher labor and other costs |
operate, so that the finished prod- |
net must bring a higher price than j
the same sort of article manufac
tured abroad. Therefore, the im
porters desire legislation which will
enable them to import their raw
material more advantageously. B
is believed that an import combina
tion would bring this about.
A typical example of the problem
I is furnished by the rubber industry.
About a year ago, this industry
awakened to a realization that Great
Britain, which controls the best
tire rubber in the world, had placed
an import restriction and a high ex
port tax on the rubber produced in
the various British tropical colonies,
this added about $200,000,000 a year
to the American rubber bill. . Inas
much as the various crude rubber
Importers were all working independ
ently, they were unable to comba
the move and had to pay the price.
It is thought that had there been
»n import combination in existence
it could nave exerted enough influ
ence to have prevented the British
action or at least could have made
co-operative arrangements which ;
would have cut down the cost of ;
Importing.
Americans Against Each Other
’ The same situation is true of a
number of products which are neces
lapy to American manufacture, but
Which are not produced on American
territory. Spain, for instance, con
trols the cork, Japan the camphor,
Peru the quinine, Mexico the sisal, i
India the jute, and Chile the ni '
r trates. All of these products arc
ttsed in great quantities in Ameri- |
tan manufacture, and all come from
foreign sources.
The department of commerce has
been assisting the importers in
Working out more advantageous
methods than now exist for the im
portation of these commodities and
has even gone so far as to send
forth expeditions seeking places
where rubber can be produced un-
Ser American control but, as mat
ters stand now, even though the
government can be of much assist
ance, the importers are all
ing against e'ach other because each
la acting separately. The foreign
producers of these important raw
materials know the situation. They
know that two American consumj
l trs are just as likely to bid against
bach other for supplies as an Ameri
’an and a Frenchman. As the re
mit of this bidding, the price is
run up to a high point and ttrig
h”'-e must be reflected in the .final
retail selling price of the finished
product to the American consumer.
If American importers of rubber
for instance, were permitted to fotm
»n import association, competition
n buving the raw material would
Jiminish. The rubber planters in
lhe tropics would find that, instead
>f having a hundred separate Amer
can customers, all bidding against
tach other and running up the price,
there would be but one customer, a
10-operative buying agency, rhe
United States consumes more rub
x jer than all the rest of the world.
The Sherman law forbids such
tombinations at present. The goy
•rnment takes the position that it
r unwise to permit dealers or man
jfacturers to combine and anti-trU-A.
luits are brought against all . such
tttempted combinations. The reason
for this is that it is feared that it
lhe rubber manufacturers all were
working together they not only
« yould be able to get low prices in
* Hiving their raw material but would
tgree on uniform high prices In
telling their product to the Public.
It is recognized that there would be
(n advantage in permitting the man
jfacturers to combine ty get low
jrices if low prices would benefit
he ultimate consumer.
The task before congress, in fram
ng the new legislation,, is to de
rise some scheme by. which the
Manufacturers could be permitted to
lombine in buying raw materials
'rom foreigners, but which would
tot permit them to remain in com
lination when it came to the sell
ng. Tn a word, the new law must
yrovide that the rubber trade or the

Protruding Big ioe
Influences High Court
In Negro Slaying Case
Worn out shoes that permitted a
big toe to protrude figured promi
nently as evidence in the conviction
of Lucius Mallary, a Houston
county negro sentenced to hang for
the murder of Isabella Taylor, ac
cording to an opinion handed down
by the Georgia supreme court
Wednesday, affirming the sentence.
Although the evidence was cir
cumstantial, the higher court up
held the identification of shoes dis
carded by Mallary that fitted-tracks
at the scene where the woman had
been clubbed to death, wnile she
was cleaning up a vacant house
One of the shoes had been tied on
with a wire and another with a
string. There were imprints ot rhe
wire and string in the mud and
also an impression made by a pro
truding toe, wrapped in a. rag. The
rag stained with blood, was tound
in one of the shoes, the record set
out.
The higher court also took cog
nizance of an alleged confession by
Mallary in which he declared that
he slew the woman because she ac
cused him of stealing chickens.
M CALF STARTED
NERD FROM WHICH
CAME PRIZE BULL
Six years ago William McPher
son, of Athens, Ga., bought a grade
calf from the state agricultural col
lege for $4.
Tuesday on his model herd of Jer
seys, Pretty Ladiy’s Gamboges
Noble, wou first honors at the South
eastern fair as junior champion bull.
In between, there fits a story of
hard work and careful attention to
up-to-date methods of raising live
stock, which has given Mr. McPher
son a series of prize winners at re
cent fairs and made his cattle one
of the most famous herds of fine
breeding stock in the southeast.
Mr. McPherson came to .the United
States from Soctland 19 years ago.
He was a builder by trade, and is
still engaged to some extent in the
construction business. In 1917 he
bought h,s first head of cattle—a $4
grade, calf. With proceeds from her
offspring, he bought a SIOO blooded
calf. From this animal sprang his
champions. Her first young one he
sold for SIOO. Her next offspring
were twins. He sold them for S2OO
apiece. Thereafter he realized heav
ily on his blooded stock, putting the
money back in more thorough-bred
animals.
Now he has thirty-three head, and
has sold animals' which under their
new owners have captured prize aft
er prize at livestock shows.
The cow that was a $4 calf, how
ever, has not been sold. It isn’t like
ly* to oe sold, either, Mr. McPherson
explained.
It now belongs to Mr. McPherson’s
wife, for one thing. And around his
first cow there is a bit of sentiment,
too, Mr. McPherson thinks.
North Carolinians
In Cotton Co-op Net
24 1 -2 Cts. a Pound
RALEIGH, N. C., Oct. 10.—The
North Carolina Cotton Growers’ Co
operative association last night an
nounced its final setttleinent for the
cotton it handled in 1922, indicat
ing that growers selling their cotton
through the association received an
average net price of 24 1-2 cents a
pound, said to be 2 1-2 cents above
the average price cotton sold for on
the open market.
Final settlement for last, year’s
crop was delayed by the necessity
of an audit of the accounts of over
31,000 members of the association.
The results announced tonight
placed the number of bales handled
by the association last year at 132,-
842, of which 125,187 were short
staple. Twenty-two cents a pound
already has been paid members for
their 1922 cotton and checks now are
being issued tor the final settlement,

THAT UNNECESSARY
CALLERS ANNOY HIM
BY DAVID LAWRENCE
(Leased Wire Service tn The Journal.)
(Copyright, 1923.)
WASHINGTON. Oct. 11.—Secre
tary. Hugb.es’ speech protesting that
too many organizations and. indi
viduals outside the government
make a practice of bothering fed
eral officials and that about half
their time is given by public execu
tives to “contacts that are really
unnecessary” occasioned today not a
little gossip as to just what the
head of the department of state had
in mind.
For many months there have been
repeated requests from the outside
from various societies and associa
tions who feel that they should make
known to the secretary of state
their views on foreign policy. Their
suggestions range all the way from
a plea that the soviet government
in Russia be recognized to demands
that the colored man in Haiti be
freed from American restraint.
Mr. Hughes has no objection to
getting the views of all kinds of
organizations but what he finds is
that the same things that are salfl
to him can usually be put in writing
'just as well and time saved. To re
fuse to give his time to various or
ganizations of a national scope leads
to bad feeling and all sorts of ill
effects for the administration. To
give one’s time means, as Mr.
Hughes describes it, “countless in
trusions upon serious work.”
Prefers to Concentrate
Mr. Hughes is the type of man
who likes to concentrate on his
work. He is of the reflective and
(Studious class of statesmen. While
Ire recognizes that the press for in
stance is an important
and he gives a least twenty min
utes of his time, nearly every day
to the conference with the corre
spondents, in order to answer their
many questions, there is not the
slighest dcubt that he wishes even
that task could be spared so that
he could work uninterruptedly when
he wants to do so. Then there is
the feeling that the press by its
enterprise discusses in print many
delicate situations which might be
more easily adjusted by the gov
ernment itself, if the press report
didn’t produce definite impresstons
on the minds of those with whom
the department of state is in the
process of negotiating. Sometimes a
situation is completely altered by the
necessity of denying or amplifying
an innocently intended press report
that has produced irritation.
When Secretary Mellon, of the
treasury department, took office he
is said, to have remarked to his
friends that a government portfolio
wasn’t a bit l|ke a private business
because nearly half of his time had
to be given to members of congress
who were seeking jobs for their
friends. Personal problems that
ought to be handled by lesser execu
tives were thrust upon the head of
a department by the insistence of
members of the legisla ive branch of
the government, to incur whose ill
will was not wise for the department
head, who must go before congress to
get needed appropriations or sanction
for other acts.
Secretary Hughes has spent a
great many years on the supreme
court of the United States where
neither the press ror outside organ
izations can take up any time of the
court. The judges regulate their
own time. What Mr. Hughes missei
is that freedom wh’eh he enjoyed on
the bench, when he could work all
day on a legal opinion if necessary
and turn out a satisfacrory piece of
work without being harassed by a
dozen different demands on his time.
The department of state is an ex
ceptionally busy institution nowa
days. It began to develop unprece
dented importance with the outbreak
of the Euroepan war in 191-4 and
there are literally thousands of
questions hanging over from the
war period. Besides the formulation
of a policy, the secretary of state
must give tim« to conference with
the bureau chiefs and subordinates
and also watch the administrative
side of the whole organization. To
be obliged to receive callers day in
and day out who could just as well
write what the/ have to say is
what Mr. Hughes had in mind in his
chidirig remarks last night when he
referred to the "unceasing require
ments of those who have little to do
with public business and by their
constant importunities lor extra of
ficial attention use up the nervous
energy which should be deveted to
public service.”

HIGHESTU.S.GOURT
TO PASS ON GEORGIA
EQUALIZATION Lffl
Atlanta Journal Newi Bureau,
408 Evans Building.
BY THEODORE TILLER
WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 10.—
The United States supreme court
late Tuesday heard arguments in
the suit of Major Charles E. Mc-
Gregor, of Warrenton, Ga.. against
Warren county officials to determine
the validity «of Section six of the
Georgia tax equalization law. The
plaintiff was represented by Attor
ney L. B. McGregor and the de
fendants by Attorney E. P. Davis
both of Warrenton.
. Other attorneys in the case are
Virgil E. Adams, of Atlanta, for the
plaintiff, and Attorney General Na
pier and Cecil Davis, of Warrenton,
for the defendant county officials
collecting the tax.
Former Senator Hoke Smith pre
sented Mr. McGregor and Mr. Davis
to the supreme court and on his
motion they were admitted to prac
tice.
Major McGregoj has appealed to
the supreme court to declare the
Georgia law invalid. He claims
that Section six of the Georgia law
requiring an assessment of tne
county board with the privilege of
arbitration is violative of the proc
ess of law clause of the constitution
and is seeking to enjoin the collec
tion of taxes against him on the
ground that they are unconstitu
tional.
If the supreme court upholds the
contention of the plaintiff in error
by deciding that Section six of the
law is unconstitutional it will nullify
the Georgia act, according to the
contention of Mr. McGregor. It is
his opinion that the only retroactive
feature would apply to those peo
pie who paid taxes under protest,
according to Section six, and he is
inclined to the belief there are few
instances.
Attorney McGregor said that two
different legislatures in Georgia had
refused to repeal the tax equaliza
tion act, but a decision of the su
preme court holding Section six to
be unconstitutional would require
immediate tax legislation by the
Georgia legislature.
In the case now before the su
preme court the Georgia supreme
court held the state law constitu
tional and it is upon an appeal
from that decision that the case is
now under consideration by Hie
highest court. . ••
Another Northern
Town Warns All
Negroes to Depart
PITTSBURG, Oct. 10.—Early this
morning a few negroes were report
ed to have left Stowe township
during the night after an order -
given last night by a self-appointed
vigilance committee that every ne
gro in the township quit the com
munity within 24 hours. Others
were reported as preparing to leave
According to the police of tne
township, the action of the commit
tee came as a result of the slaying
last Saturday night of Thomas Row
land and the wounding of his grana
daughter, Edith Colter, by a negro,
on a lonely hillside. The negro es
caped and the police have no tan
gible clues as to his identity.
Separating into small squads, the
vigilance committee, which is said
to have numbered more than 200
men, visited all the negro families
and the several negro workers’
camps in Stowe township and quiet
ly issued the warning for each ne
gro to depart. Police estimate the
number of negro residents of the
township at between 400 and 500.
After completing their task, the
leaders of the committee reported
their action to the police authori
ties, the latter said. Police say they
were aware of what the committee
was doing, but did not interfere* as
long as there was no violence. Tne
negroes received the order passively
and soon after the word began to
spread they deserted the streets.

UOYUGLORGETRIP
BECOMES CRUSADE
FOB HUGHES' PUN
TORONTO, Ont., Oct. 10—Turn
ing a mere holiday into a crusade,
Lloyd George today had become ■ 5
missionary to America of interna
tional co-operation in the interest of
world stability and peace.
Instead of confining his American
journey to a few flowery speeches
of gratitude to Canadian and Amer
icans for their aid in beating Ger
many in the war, he has seized upon
a tenuous thread of encouragement
from Washington to convert his tour
into a demand that the allied gov
ernments accept„ the United States’
plan for settling the reparations
problem.
From now on. that is the note
Lloyd George will sound unceasingly
upon this continent. He knows that
land wires and cables are carrying
to the millions of America and Eu
rope his views about the wisdom
of accepting the Hughes’ plan for
a commission of economic experts
to examine Germany’s condition and
decide her capacity to pay repara
tions.
Lloyd George within the last two*
days has injected himself anew into
British politics and probably created
a political issue for 1924 in the
United States.
His attitude is one of strong crit
icism for the British government for
not having brought pressure to bear
upon France to accept the Hughes
plan. France stands in the way of
that plan.
His sudden interest in this ques
tion rests upon the merest hint from
Washington that the administration
still is willing to discuss the Hughes
plan. That hint was all Lloyd George
needed.

“The farmer, the laborer and the

“This , improvement has taken

ACTRESS TELLS SECRET
Tells How so Darken Gray Hair
Witli a Home-Made Mixture
Joicey Williams, the well-known
American actress, recently made the
following statement about gray hair
and how to darken it, with a. home
made mixture: , ,
“Anyone can prepare a simple mix
ture at home that wlil gradually
darken gray, streaked or faded hair,
and make it soft and glossy. To a
half-pint of water add 1 ounce of bay
rum, a small box of Barbo Com
pound, and 1-4 ounce of glycerine.
“These ingredients can be bought
at any drug store at very little cost.
Apply to the hail- twice a week until
the desired shade is obtained. This
will make a gray-haired person look \
twenty years younger. It does not
color the scalp, is not sticky Qr
greasy and does not rub off.”
