' Chicago, April 29.—General im-
provement in the industrial situation,
described in several instances as slow
but steady, particularly over condi-
tions as they existed in the winter
months, was indicated in reports gath-
ered by The

to be a demand for skilled workers,
although the supply of common labor,
generally, was declared to <be larger
than the demand. Some state labor
department officials definitely stated
that the unemployment crisis had
been passed in their states and that
a move toward normal conditions was
in progress.

NEWSPAPER MAN HELD IN
TAYLOR MY8TERY RELEAS9D
By Associated Press
Washington, April 29.—The conclu-
sion that “in the public Interest the
railroad industry must rest upon its
own foundations and its revenues
must be so constructively regulated
that the operations of the carriers
will produce enough to pay fair wag-
es, cost of materials, taxes, meet the
fixed charges, pay a fair dividend and
leave a margin to attract investors of
new capital” was announced today by
the joint congressional commission of
agricultural inquiry. ’
This conclusion, reached by the
commission after a study of railroad
management and financing, will be set
forth in the forthcoming report of the
body along with other conclusions
and recommendations as follows:
First, that the issue of tax free se-
curities and large expenditures for
non-productive purposes 'by the fed-
eral, state and municipal governments
be reduced to the smallest possible
limits so that the taxes can be de-
creased and capital funds be allowed
to increase for the use at fair inter-
est rates by agriculture, Industry and
the railroads, and thereby help to
promote industry. * .
Second, that the railroads establish
regional traffic executives and organ-
ize public relations department to
bring about closer contact and a bet-
ter understanding between themselves
and the public.
Third, that new money for railroad
improvement should not be raised
through constant government aid.
Fourth, thar sound railroad finance
requires that a larger part of the
credit necessary for railway construc-
tion be obtained by stock issues In-
stead of by bond Issues.
In reaching its conclusion and in
making its recommendations, Chair-
man Anderson said to the commission
utilized this basis: '
“The railroads are not self-sustain-
ing and are therefore not on a sound
credit basis. If this condition con-
tinues transportation service will lpe
crippled and the country wifi suffer
accordingly.”
Chairman Anderson said'the oppo-
sition to further government aid arose
from the present obligations upon the
congress and the country at large, and
a matter of economic policy.
Figures in the report wiH show
that in the last few years most rail-
roads have done little financing
through the sale of stock, but have
raised money through the sale of
bonds or the issuance of other evi-
dences of indebtedness.

to the tax burden of the

The commission it was said, have
agreed that the period of federal con-
trol was too short and the conditions
then and since too abnormal to per-
mit of a sound comparison of effici-
ency between government and private
operation.
Chairman Anddrson, however, ad-

in this country shows greater efficien-
cy than governmental management.

Cincinnati. Ohio, April 28.—At an
expense of one dollar for every mil-
lion readers, the Back to the Bible
Bureau of Cincinnati, is getting one
verse of scripture dally printed In one
thousand Affirtcan newspapers and
magazines. Its total daily scripture
readers are stimated at 10,000,000 now
which Is two j*arg alter the bureau’s
Inauguration.
A goal of 110,000,000 Bible vers?
readers dally is announced, with a
five year program to make it effec-
tive.
The Bureau’s idea is that daily read-
ing of one Bible verse makes for good
citizenship, and that the best pulpit
through which to reach all persons
is the daily press. The organization
is not sectarian, its daily verss going
to publications of all faiths, free of
charge, and not only to newspapers
the scriptures has been uniform from
ail sections of the country, Mr. Hart* %
zell stated. The daily papers now • M
publishing Include 46 in Canada and ■ [’
publications in Hawaii, the Philip-
pines and Korea. ^Jjr
Many papers have been patting the W
daily verse at the head of the edl- V
torial eolumn, but not all.
“A large Ohio daily,’’ said Mr. Hart-
but to trade journals, and to society zell, “is running the verse completely
and labor publications.
How the idea started ana its rapid
growth is described by George W.
Hartzell, a Dayton, Ohio manufactur-
er, an advisory member of the Bureau.
The chairman is James N. Gamble of
the Proctor and Gamble Company.
The Bureau was inaugurated two
vars ago by Addison Y. Reid, of Cin-
cinnati. who is now its sc re'ary. He
across its daily comic page. When I
asked the editor why he chose that
position, he replied:
“Why, don’t you want it in the
most conspicuous, place?”
“This editor added, laughing, ‘Per-
haps the readers of the eomkSB need
balancing more than anyone else.”
“The> eflitor of a Bellingham, Wash-
ington paper made a personal investi-
gation to discover whether subscrlb-
ig

and paying for their publication. With
the adoption of the prohibition amend-
ment, Mr. Rid stopped that work, but
decided to try a campaign of Biblical
verse.
At first he paid for the publication
of daily Bible verses just the same
as he had paid for the propaganda.
The verses went to only a few news-
papers. After about six months paid
publications, other newspapers be-
coming interested, and discovering
t&at Mr. Reid was furnishing the
scriptural quotations, asked him to
supply them also, offering to make
publication without charge. There-
upon Mr. Reid stopped paying for In-
sertion of the verses, and th present
Bureau was inaugurated. ,
Mr. Hartzell said that in these two
years the Bureau has expended $10,-
000, all of it for printing and postage
as there are no other xpenses, all
the Work being voluntarily done-by a
group of Cincinnati, residnts. The re-
spons "to the Bureau’s letters offering
reported that he'found that thousands
actually read them.
“The loses are selected by Mr.
Reid, who before having them mailed,
submits tt sin to a committee of min-
isters and church officials for approv-
al."
