nothing in either the dotiiritic or
the foreign situation to give ric to
the pessimistic conclusion that thr
nr.rlil ii ruling stra :ght to ruin, John
S. Drum, banker of San Francisco,
to!l the American Haulm' associa
tion of which he i president at the
opening eion here roday of its
47th annual convention.
"Rational examination of our con
dition today," he laid, "mut prove
to the greatest doubter that , our
problem are but the natural mani
festations of a world wide maladjust
ment that great natural forces are
working to riynedy."
r t . .t. t ruv
acuuii. iruiu mure imifi i,vw . . . , , , , . r , i
bankers were the basia. he said, of1,choo, ,rl an of Mr. and
his subject today: "Our Situation Mrs. George Williams, was chosen
today A Loiintry- ide fcconomic
Survey." In part it follows
The output of finished goods
throughout the country is consider
ably smaller than it was a year ago,
and measurably smaller than it wa
!i months ago. There is a mirpliH
ef manufactured commodities in the
hands of the producers. A progres
hive decline in the costs of manufac
turing has taken place during the
year. In industry, as a whole, the
cost of materials, labor and construc
tion have declined, in the order
named. Increased efficiency of labor
l as been" the natural result of unem
N ployment on a large scale, but the ef
. ficiency of men in the building trades
in the country as a whole has not in
creased, altliough there are exeep
tions to this.
"Taxation in industrial sections
has either increased or remained
stationary during the year; in no
case is A decrease reported. Whole'
sale priors of manufactured goods
have decreased steadily throughout
the year. fttail prices on thj whole
also have declined steadily, although
not in the sam proportion as whole
sale prices.
"In the great cotton states of the
south, in the agricultural states of the
middle west and the west, in the
western mining and cattle raising
states, in the lumber producing re
ions of the nortwest and the south
cast, there has been a great reduction
in buying power, consequently a
slackened demand for natural pro
ducts and a reduction in their value
without a commensurate decrease in
the prices of finished goods.
"In the industrial regions there
has been a reduction of production.
consequent upon reduced foreign
purchas;ng and reduced buying by
producers of natural products at
home. This reduction in output of
manufactured goods in industrial
centers has thrown millions of men
out of employment, and conse
quently has operated to reduce fur
ther the . national buying power.
Thus increased consumption " of
natural products is provided, in
creased purchasing by producers of
natural products is- prevented, in
creased employment of labor is pre
vented and the circle revolves.
. Reasons for Conditions.
"The reports I have received have
also shown that the three great do
mestic influences that more than all
others are retarding the readjust
ment of prices and costs are these:
"First Delayed adjustment of
cost of labor which prevents ade
quate reduction of pricesof innumer
. able commodities in' which the cost
of labor is the most important factor
- and also serves to- prevent full em
ployment of labor.. This is due both
to slow adjustment of compensation
of labor and to the continuation of
ihop rules that impair its efficiency.
"Second Sustaiued high costs of
transportation, which prevent natural
and normal movement of commodi
, tics of all kinds to markets.
"Third Continuation of an un
7 sound system-' of -.taxation that di
verts working capital from its proper
channels and thereby ' prevents ac
cumulation of working capital that
, is necessary for increased produc
tion, for installation of . improved
- methods of production and for full
employment of labor.
Readjustment Going Oa
, '"But in spite of these problems the
- process of readjustment is going on
and there have been undeniable signs
of at least a modicum of improve
ment in the last few months. Every
step in the process of readjustment
is doing its bit to restore the nor
mal value of purchasing power to
the entire people and in the nature
of things there is no room for any
thing but confidence in thegradual
improvement of business
, "It is well to say that there is
nothing in our domestic situation.
' nor in the international situation
that can sustain a pessimistic out-
- look, or a despondent view that the
world has sunk into permanent de
pression. "Gradually influences preventing
the restoration of stable conditions
"are disappearing. As prices move
toward stability on. an equitable basis
the full purchasing power that is a
necessary prerequisite of normal
prosperity is beinR recovered. .
Will Work Out
"Steadily, as social and political
conditions abroad improve, the
, wealth wasted in war is being re
placed and : foreign . countries are
working' to rebuild the productive
. capacity that measures their ability
to consume, and as foreign produc
tion increases world " markets for
American goods are being reopened.
"It is true that many problems,
both domestic and foreign, are stand
ing in the way of a restoration of
- stable conditions and normal domes
tic and world prosperity. But the
forces that are working to solve
these problems are irresistible.-

"Why. I tfiiess it was the suit I
have on. I haven't many clothes,"
replied Hoffman.
Mrs. HolTman, called to the stand,
declared her husband had none on a
fishing trip the day before the mur- j grappled with the leader, said the
der, and that he had remained at sheriff was intent only on carrying
home the entire night on which the'out his threat to see the Klansmen's
shooting occurred.
She denied ever having mot Fogg,
"to her knowledge."
Stops Questioning.
It was Mrs. Fogg herself who put
a stop to this line of questioning.
She called ,V. W. Slabaugh, deputy
county attorney, and informed him
she had possession of a check given
Mr. Fogg by another Mrs. Hoffman. j
whom she knew.
"We'll turn all the evidence over
to the state that we have in the mat
ter," said Kay Lones, co-counsel with
Organ for Saxton. "They can use
it as they see fit."
Counsel for the defense moved
that the case be dismissed at the
close of the state's evidence. Coun
ty Attorneys Coffey and Slabaugh,
handling the case for the state, had
introduced but nine witnesses, four
of whom testified to the color of the
clothes worn by a man seen in the
vicinity of the drug store at the time
of the killing. .1 ' .
Fogg's Revolver Introduced.
The automatic re-olver. which had
t een found in Fogg's hands was in
troduced. Police Sergeant Samuel
son testified he had found the safe
ty catch on the revolver fastened,
and' that he knew the revolver had
not been discharged because of the
dust in the barrel.
Miss Adelaide Fogg, dancing in
structor, who offered $1,000 reward
for the capture and conviction of the
murderer of her father, was not pres
ent at the close of the trial. ,
Mrs. Saxton, who came here from
Lebanon, Mo., was present in th
court room during almost the en
tire trial, which started Monday
morning.
"Two witnesses who identified
Saxton as the man who ran up an
alley just after the shooting, failed
to do so when they testified," said
Deputy County Attorney Coffey.
"Wc are in possession of no evidence
which would justify the arrest of any
one else at present for the murder."

The senate committee bill reduces
surtax rates on income below $20,

Is Condemned by
Union of Miners
KvServh'e M"n Hody Akfd
To Put House in Order
After Alleged Strike
Breaking Activities.
Indianapoli, Oct. 4. Although
rtfuking to condemn the American
Legion became of illrged strike
breaking activities of some of iu
members, the convention of thi
I'nited Mine Worker -f America
adopted Monday a resolution com.
inittee report calling on leg.on offi
cials "to put their nouc in order."
The action came after several dele
gates had appealed vchemer.tiy fr
the convention to go on record in
unqualified condemnation of the Le
gion. The committee report was among
those made on more than 100 reso
lutions sent to the convention for
consideration by local union
throughout the country and which
had been before the committee ion
consideration since tne opening 01
the convention. Most of the resolu
tions went in the discard.
Resolutions Adopted.
Aside from the work 011 resolu
tions the committee voted over-1
whclmingly not to change the 1
union's present system of appoint-:
in organizer. Supporters of an
election plan complained that the ap
pointive system permitted of conven
tions to build up a political machine,
but no evidence to support thi
charge was found by a committct
appointed at the 191 convention,
which held election of organizers
was impracticable.
Among the resolution adopted
were those favoring immediate na
tionalization of coal mines end rail
roads, the repeal of the espionage
laws and amnesty for all 'political
prisoners," and self-determination ior
Ireland.
The convention side-stepped taking
a stand on prohibition whin the
issue was brought up by resolutions
favoring light wines and beer. No
action was taken on these resolutions.

class solidarity, and the calling ot
a convention by American trade
unions to form one union, having as
its object the abolition of capital
and the establishment of a workers'
industrial republic in the United
States were lost overwhelmingly
without discussion.
The committee report dealing with
the American Legion cited the le
gion's constitution as proof that
world war veterans' organizat.on
"shall be a force of law and or
der," adding that acts of individual
members had justly brought con
demnation on the legion, and that
the tyranny practiced by legion mem
bers through force is in direct viola
tion of the federal constitution as

well as that of their order.
Call, for Action. v
"We, therefore, call upon the prop
er officials oi the American Le
gion," said the report, "to put their
household in order bv adopting some
proper and effective punishment of
its members who violate tne constitutor-
and weaken the force of the
legion and tend to.bring.it into tiis
Erace. The American . Legion is ;or-
ganzed for a good purpose, but has
been used for bad practice andibc
ing an infant organization we feel
it unwise at- this time to condemn
or eulogize the American Legion as
an organization until they can have
the opportunity to put their house
in order."
John Wilkinson of Muskogee,
Okl., president of the miners' unioii
of that district, in urging favorable
action on the report, declared' the
miners could not put the legion "out
of business" by condemning it, and
added:-
"If y.ou want to see them put -their
housi in order, get inahere and help
them put it right." His statement
came after some delegates, who said
they were ex-service men, had de
clared they would not join the le
gion bcause they knew of its mem--
bers acting against strikers.
The resolution favoring immediate
nationalization of " the mines , asked'
that legislation be presented in con
gress for the : government ' acquir
ing title to the . coal ! lands' of the
country and that in 'the operation of
the mines, the miners have equal
