Industry and Finance Give
Assurance That Nation's
Business Is Sound.
By EDWARD W. PICKARD
U NLE8S President Iloover and the
leaders of lluunce, industry and
labor are all wrong, the country’s
business stricture Is on a Ann busts
and there is no reason why pros
perity should decrease, despite the
slock market collapse which In six
weeks reduced stock prices by nl*out
37 per cent.
What the leaders petitioned think
about the situation was brought out
In the conference* called In Washing- j
ton by the President. First to gather
were the presidents of n number of
railways, together with William But-
terworth. president of the Chamber of
Commerce of the United States;
Julius Barnes, chairman of the cham
ber's board; Secretaries .Mellon and
Lament and Ernest I* Lewis, chair
man of the interstate Commerce com
mission. President Hoover thus told
of the results of this meeting:
"The railway presidents were unan
imous in their determination to co-
oi«*rute Ir. the nr'inlenance of employ
ment and business progress. It was
stated that the railways whieh they
represented would proceed with full
programs of const ruction and better
ments without any reference to recent
Stock exchange fluctuations; that they
would canvass the possibilities of fur
ther expansion, and that amongst
these particular railways it appeared
that the total volume of such con
struction work already indicated an
increase during the next six months
over the similar period of last year."
Liter in the week, at the annual
meeting of ilu- Hallway Business as
sociation in Chicago, the rail officials
of the country gave out more dellnlte
lelr plans for
riiich will
inform
punsioi
cull for the expenditure of a billion
dollars.
The second group to assemble in tlie
White House included the twelve mem
bers of the advisory council of the
federal reserve system and I he mem
bers of the federal reserve hoard. to
Itether with government officials. They
gave assurance of the soundness of
the business structure and the »»rob
ability of cheaper money. Each mem
l>er of the council reported that busi

his automobile plants, benefiting about
*35,000 men. I!e gave hi* views on the
industrial situation, muintniring thin
prices of commodities are too high
too low and must he raised.
As a result of the series of confer
ences It is planned to set up some
sort of an organization to act as a
clearing house for the activities of the
different groups. Mr. Barnes and Mr
Butterworth, lu co-operation with Sec
rotaries Mellon and Lnuioiit. will fig
are prominently in this work.
J AMES W. GOOD, secretary of war.
died in a Washington hospital fol
lowing un operation for acute up
pendicills. The news of his demise
was heard with deep regret through
out the country for Mr. Good was re
garded as a most efficient servant ol
the nation and was popular with a
( host of .friends. President Hoover
was especially grieved by the death
of a man who had been Ills close as
sociate for years and who held Ids
high regard. The war secretary was
given all military honors at the funeral
services which were held in the east
room of the White House and were
attended by t u .z President and Mrs.
Hoover, the members of the cabinet
and as many others high in the gov
ernment as could be accommodated.
Then the body, ou an artillery caisson
drawn by six bay horses, was escorted
to the railway station mid taken on
a special train to Cedar Rapids, Iowa,
Mr. Good's boyhood home, for burial,
j It was accompanied by committees
I representing the administration and
■ the senate and house and Jiy Acting
I Secretary of War Hurley and Gen
eral Suinmerull, army chief of staff.
P RESIDENT HOOVER has com
pleted the delegation to the nnval
conference In London by miming ns
additional members Secretary of the
Xnvy Charles Francis Adams and Am
bassadors Charles G. Dnwes. Dwight
W. Morrow and Hugh S. Gibson. The
others, previously selected, arc Secre*
taiy af Slate Henry L. Stimson,
Senator David A. Reed of Pennsyl
vania and Senator Joseph T. Robin
son of Arkansas. Admiral William V.
Pratt, commander of llie United States
fleet, nnd Rear Admiral Hilary P.
Jones, retired, will accompany the
[ delegation hr naval advisor*.
The addition of Secretary Adams
and the three ambassadors to the
I delegation was a measure taken to
pacify Admiral Jones, rio bad threat-
I cited to refuse to go along because he
• thought the administration was not
giving proper consideration to the
navy nnd the naval authorities who
have been opposing what they consid
ered too great concessions to Great
Brilrln. It was said the admiral Is
now sal i-tied.
F INDING it was Impossible to com
plete its version of the tariff hill

to adjourn the special session of con-
gross sine die on Friday night, and

» It no-
lapse, lie received the assurance that
tlie constructive activities of the vari
ous industries would be continued, and
even expanded to take up the slack In
That afternoon William Green, pres
Idem of the American Federation of
Labor, nnd other prominent Inbor
leaders, together with Secretary of
Labor Davis, conferred with Mr.
Iloover. Aud it was announced that
on Monday there would be meetings of
the leading public utility magnates
and of farm leaders.
Thursday evening Mr. Hoover an
nounced :bat a truce between capita]
and labor had been made; that the big
Industries of the -ountry would not
reduce wages and thut organized labor
would make no demands for Increased
pay. Both groups, lie said, had pledged
themselves to assist the President In
bis endeavor to maintain business sta
bility and progress.
Soon after this Henry Ford an
nounced that a general wage advance
was to take effect immediately in all
new grouping of younger Republicans,
beaded by Senator Allen of Kan
sas and called "Young Turks" by
Senator Pat Harrison, tried to
keep Hie session alive, believing
much more progress with the sched
ules could be made. The tariff
bill retains it* place on tlie senate
otieiuiar as unfinished business, and
though the V&re rase comes up for
disposal during the first week of the
regular session, the senate lenders
hope the tariff measure can be passed
before the Christmas recess.
Doings of lobbyists in behalf of high
and low tariff oiv sugar were Investl
gated by tlie senate committee on lob
bylng during the week, and the In
formation elicited was Interesting
though not especially incriminating.
Most Important of the witnesses was
President Rentschler of the National
City bunk of New York, which Insti
tution Is deeply interested in Cuban
sugar plantations and refineries.
S ENATOR George n. Moses remains
chairman of the Republican senu
loriul campaign committee, despite the
animosity he aroused among tlie we-.
orn radical senators recently. The
committee met Inst week and appar
ently nil was harmonious. Consequent

Miss May Asbury. who is study
ing in New York, writes the second
of n series of articles exclusively for
- The Union-Recorder di.-cu-sing fur
ther the style trei d of women in
America today. -r-.
The following is the second of a
very interesting series begun in last
week’s Union-Recorder.
"In length of train descend* her
sweepi ng gown
i And by her graceful walk the Queen
"The Queen of Love ns we nil
know is but another name for
Beauty, who when she is in motion,
is called Grace. And what accessory
I nsk, helps her to achieve this last
and crowning title as docs a sweep
ing gown?" Thus declares Herman
T.appe, one of America's foremost de
signers of clothes for women. Mr.
Tappe in hi. recent article in Liber
ty goes on to describe two charming
women as seen last July and their
striking gain in beauty as achieved
by the new lengthened skirt. The
new manifestations of ‘!.e mode un
doubtedly enhance the feminine
charm, and make it more possible
for each woman to be at her lovli-
est.
A* aforementioned, the new mode
is more evidnet by evening, and cer
tainly nt its height, so it is of such
apparel that I now will speak.
Skirts are of even ankle length all
around unless possessing a train
which .-weeps the ground. If the!
line is uneven, the extended portions I
are on either or both sides. A skirt
shorter in the front is immediately
dubbed .as last year’s. The Buck of,
the dress, hitherto plain, is receiv- :
ing the mo.-t attention in both street
and evening gov. .is. Bows, flowers
and jewelry motifs decorate the
back in preference ta the front.
All that is rich and opulent has!
come to the fore in fabrics. Lace,
out of fashion for several seasons
past, has the rich texture and beauty
that lends grace to the long trailing
skirts. This fabric so generously
offered at the Fall Openings in Paris
hits more than justified the faith
of the Paris couturiers. It forms a
sequence to the printed chiffon of
summer. Satin, because of its brill
iant surface, especially in the new
panne satins, has held a very high
position in the popularity of evening
materials. Tulle, net and laces have
also held a popular place. The favor
of the off-white colors was recogniz
ed at the opening of the Metropoli
tan Opera when so great was the
number of white gowns in the audi
ence that one had the feeling that
each of these lovely damsels was just
on the point of marching down some
church aisle to pledg :.cr troth.
Short wraps arc used for even
ing in fur as well ns cloth. Often
this short wrap accompanies the gown
as .an ensemble. It may match or
bo of a contrasting color and ma
terial to the gown. The longer wraps
follow the new silhouette and fit
snugly from shoulders to knees, giv
ing a slight indication of the inward
curve of the waist, and then develop
a JUiiness obtained by a shaped
flounce or godet. The darker furs
t-re preferable for trimming.
To emphasize the elegance of the
evening inode 'ong gloves have re
turned, and may be had in colors to
match either gown or accessories.
Shoes of crepe de chine ate also of
the color of the costume.
Ruts for evening are gaining in
favor. They are picturesque trifles
made of gold and silver lace and of
tulle and fine fabrics. They are
made as tight fitting caps and tur
bans that reveal the contour of the
head.
White is also the choice in>jewelry
for evening. Rhinestones and bagu-
tte crystals often set in silver add
a sparkling glory to the costume,
semi-precious stones ure combined
with pearls, bringing in a bit of col
or to mutch that of the costume. If
one pearl necklace is good, half a
dozen are better. Nothing is more
flattering thin their creamy lu.-tre.
.Many of the necklaces are made with
the clasps at the side and still a
number with pendants at the back.
We are succumbing to the com
mand- of the Goddess of Beauty in
Accepting these styles and whom doe-
•t not nvtke more charming, more al
luring. more feminine?
