THIS BEE: OMAHA, MONDAY, JULY 11, 1921. 3 Little Hope for Compromise In Nonpartisan Row Attempts to Squash Charges Against Editor and Man agcr of League Paper Fail. Fargo, N. E., July 10 Hrmony in the ranks of the state executive committee of the Nonpartisan league was no nearer at the close of three days of confertnces over the sit uation arising from charges over the editor of the league paper here, the Courier-News, that the league's $50,000 defense fund had been mis applied. . Hopes of league leaders that com promise might be reported within the committee and that charges of criminal libel filed against C. K. (Jummerson, the deposed editor, and George A. Totten, jr., his business manager, who was also ousted, might be dropped, apparently were slim tonight. Ole Kaldor. treasurer of the recall campaign fund and ma jority member of the committee, an nounced that he and his associates, Chairman A. A. Liederbach and Chris I.evang, had taken an uncom promising stand. "We will yield nothing." Mr. Kal dor said. "We have a criminal case and the charges will stand. The faction opposed to Chairman Liederbach and his majority asso ciates are understood to be seeking the support of the attorney general and Governor Fraricr in their effort to have the libel charges withdrawn and the matter dropped. Mr. Lemke is a stockholder in the Courier News. Guninierson today claimed that he had the support pi some league members in Bismarck and that they were starting a drive to raise a fund for his and Totten's defense. Light Bracket Saves Man From Death as Heavy Cornice Falls Fred Stickney arrived in Omaha from Waterloo, la., yesterday after noon. Last night he went out to give the town the "once over." Walk ing north on Fourteenth street an attractive display of shirts in the window of the Palace Clothing.com pany caught his eye. Something heavy fell upon his shoulder. He felt, a twinge of pain and rushed out into the street. Then he looked back and sawa pile of galvanized iron lying just where he had been standing. It was a portion of the cornice of the building which had been jarred loose and fallen 35 feet. An electric light extending from a "goose neck" attached to the wall broke the force of the fall of the heavy cornice and the man was saved from probable in stant deah. Stickney was taken to the police station, where a police surgeon at tended the cuts 6n his shoulder. Twenty minutes after the accident occurred. Stickney was in consulta tion with an attorney and declared he would file suit against the own ers of the building at once. Atlantic Man, 98, Rides in Airplane Atlantic, la., July 10. Orson IJrown, 98, who moved to Cass county a half cetttury ago, when they were using oxen to break up the raw prairie, took a"1 ride in an airplane here. Despite his age Mr. Brown was as anxious to make the trip as though he were a kid. He clambered aboard, settled back in his seat and told the pilot to "cut loose." As the machine 'rose from the ground the aged passenger waved his hand to friends below and from then on until the ship again struck ground he had, as he expressed it, "the time of his life." Bluffs Youth Surprises Friends With French Bride Walter Saver, 21. 1526 Terith avenue, who left his home in Coun cil Bluffs two weeks ago ostensibly to enlist in the navy and go overseas again, in reality made a trip to France and is returning with a French bride, according to his mother., Mrs. W. E. Savers. During the war Walter met Ger maine Saubigne, 18, while on guard duty at Brest. Their friendship ripened into love and she promised to wait until Walter could provide a ohome for her in Council Bhiffs. She studied English in the meantime. Since his discharge in 1919 young Sayer has been working in the Union Pacific shops here to earn money for their home. Train Stopped to Rescue Minnesota Man From Bog Minneapolis. July 10. Adolph Pef- mar, 50, was pulled from a bog near Iloldridge by trainmen and passen gers of a Great Northern train, which stopped to rescue him. He is in s critical condition. Pefmar, it is believed, was over come by the heat As the train made its morning trip, the conductor no ticed the man sitting in the mud. Returning last evening he saw the head of a man sticking out of the spot .and stopped the train, result ing in Pefmak's rescue. Bronx Kids Go On Strike Against Price of Sodas New York, July 10. Proclaiming a strike against the high price of ice cream sodas, more than 1.000 Bronx boys and girls paraded, with the hope of bringing their favorite drink down to the old-time nickel price. They marched to the office of Dorough President Bruckner, who operates a large soda water plant, but were told he was out To RonpTi Rprtrrloll flflfift f r Washington, July 10. The house committee which investigated the escape of Grover Cleveland Berg i!oH. Philadelphia draft dodger, has decided to reopen hearings, but no date hat been fixed. U. S. Envoy in Berlin Takes Up Peace Plan With German Officials Berlin, July 10. Elli Loring Dresel, United States commissioner in Berlin, communicated to the Ger man foreign office an unofficial copy of the compromise Porter-Knox resolution ending the state of war between the United States and Ger many. This copy was the first detailed in formation received by the Berlin government concerning the action of the United States. Active official negotiations are now being carried on between the American commission and the German foreign office con cerning a final peace treaty. The reichstag adjourned before the full text of the resolution was re ceived, consequently the document was not submitted to the foreign af fairs committee. But the committee will probably be called together as the negotiations progress.

Drive It Yourself Co. 1314 Howard St. Dour. 3622. U. S. Makes 40 Per Cent of World's Goods O. P. AUSTIN, in The Americas. United States manufacturers broke their own record and the world's record in the value of manufac tures turned out in 1919. . Preliminary figures of the 1920 census covering the value of all manufactures produced by the factories of the United States in the calendar year 1919 show a grand total of $62,500,000, 000 as the gross value of the 1919 output, against $24,250,000,000 in 1914; $20,50O-,000,000 in 1909; $14,750,000,000 in 1904, and $11,500,000,000 in 1899. The value of the 1919 output is two and one-half times as much as that of 1914, over three times that of 1909, four times that of 1905 and more than five times that of 1899, only 20 years earlier. The increase in the five year census period, 1914-1915, was 158 per cent, against an average quinquennial increase of 28 per cent in the "preceding five-year periods represented by the census reports from 1899 to 1914. The highest percentage of gain in value of manufactures turned out in any of the preceding quinquennial periods was that of 1904-1909, in which the increase was 39.6 per cent, as against 158.1 per cent in the quinquennium 1914-1919.' Not only is the value of our output of manufactures in this latest census record by far the "biggest ever," but it means that we are now producing a much larger share of world manufactures than ever before and at least twice as much as that of any other country of the world. .Prior to the war, we were producing about 30 per cent of the factory output of the world, our total, aa sTiown by the 1909 census, having been $20,000,000, 000, the United Kingdom and Germany at that date estimated at $9,000,000,000 each; France, $7,000,000, 000, and the factory output of the remainder of the world $20,000,000,000, making the estimated value of world factory output in 1910 at approximately $65,000,000,000, of which we supplied $20,000,000,000, or about 30 per cent of the total. Now our latest offi cial record, covering the output of the year 1919, shows our own total at $62,500,000,000, or nearly as great as that of the entire world a decade earlier, while the best estimates obtainable for the outturn of other countries suggest that our share of the world output of manufac tures in 1919, the year following the close of the war, was rather more than 40 per cent, as against 30 per cent in the period immediately preceding the war. The recent gain by the. United States manufactur ers in the outturn of factory products (for all of these figures relate to factory output and do not include "hand trades, neighborhood industries and household production of manufactures") is easily explained. In most of the other manufacturing countries, especially France, Belgium, Russia and the Austro-Hungarian territory, the losses of life and destruction of factories, mines, railways and financial facilities by the war not only retarded normal growth, but in many instances greatly minimized the power of production, making it probable that if a record could be made of the gold value of the world's factory output in the year follow ing the close of the war, 1919, our own total of $62,500, 000,000 would be fully 40 per cent of that of the en tire world, against about 30 per cent in the period im mediately preceding the war, though the reader is again warned that these figures relate to factory products and do not attempt to include the value of the manufactures turned out by home and neighborhood industries, for which no possible facilities of measurement or even approximate estimates are available. Wages paid in the manufacturing industries in 1914 formed about one-sixth of the value of products turned out, and if this relation should hold good in 1919, a year of high wages as well as of high prices, it would indicate that the total sums paid to wage earners in the factories in 1919 was about $10,000,000, 000, and to officers, clerks, etc., another $2,000,000,000, as against $4,000,000,000 in wages and a little more than $1,000,000,000 in salaries in 1914. The sums utilized in purchase of material in 1919, a year of phenomenally high prices, must have been extremely large and may perhaps show a total of nearly $40,000, 000,000, as against slightly less than $15,000,000,000 in 1914 and, if so, the figures of "value added by manu facture" would approximate $22,000,000,000, as against slightly less than $10,000,000,000 in 1914. These tre mendous increases in the sums required for payment of wages and cost of material used suggest a necessary increase in capital employed, which may show a grand total of approximately $50,000,000,000 in 1919, as against slightly less than $23,000,000,000 in the census records of 1914. . , jTX TCETW McKenney Dentists 14th and Farnam Sts.
