The exeuctive, he charged, had sought to "cripple" the tariff commit- tee and to destort the Federal trade commission, a body created by Con- gress to control trusts. "I do not challenge the sincerity of the President", he asserted. "It does seem, however, that the President has been so environed during his life that he sincerely believes that the way to create happiness and prosperity is to give the wealth of the country to a few great interests and out of their charity let some trickle downward to the bottom and, as it goes, touch and bless all it passes. He believes that." Referring to the President's speech before the New York State Chamber of commerce in New York city last No- vember, Mr. Connally said that Mr. Coolidge had disclosed the opinion that big business may have fault in the future, but nothing is wrong with it now. .! Describing this as a "marvelous sit- uation the representative said he "wondered" if the President had in mind a number of big "trusts" tha' exist at present. He then enumerate a number of large bu mess enter prises, including the Al minum com- pany of American, the Standard Oil company of New York, the Pacific Oil company of California, the General Electric company, and the Continental Baking Co. RESERVE BANK ADVANCES RATE OF REDISCOUNT (By Associated Press) NEW YORK, Jan. 7.-The New York Federal Reserve bank, after retaining three and one-half per cent rediscount rate for almost a year in the face of recent advances elsewhere, today fol- lowed the lead of other reserve insti- tutions in establishing a four per cent rate. The new change will go into effect tomorrow. While the action of the bank came at a time when Wall street was flood- ed with returning funds from the year's end disturbance of dividends and interest, it nevertheless had been forshadowed by a steady increase in borrowing at this center with a grad- ual tightening of credit conditions throughout the country. The change brings the New York rate into closer 1 alignment with open market rates for call 'and time funds, which recently have ranged between four and six per cent. Prepare Bills To Solve Rail LaborProblem (By Associatc Pd1ss) ,WASHINGTON, Jan. 7.-Legislation for the settlement of railroad labor disputes began to take shape for sub- mission to Congress today, after Pres- ident Coolidge had been apprised of areements reached between the em- ployers and employes on the sub- ject. Alfred P. Phom, counsel for the as- sociation of railway executives, who conferred with the President yester- day, joined with Donald R. Richberg, attorney for the labor organizations, in making public a statement declar- ing that railroad employers and em-1 ployees had reached an agreement on legislation to .create a board of miti- gation for railroad labor disputes with provision for arbitration when media- tion is itnsuccessful, and also to au- thorize the President to institute in- vestigation by a special board, in case of threatened disturbance. The state- Ment made no reference to abolition of the railroad labor board, although this was understood to be implied in the proposal. s, !' i l +i !, 11 Forestry Graduates Lacking In Fundamental Science-Dana.

According to the chairman of the campaign, this was quite an en- couraging report since a large number of cards had not as yet been turned in. All contributions, not personally solicited, should be sent to Lane hall. President Clarence Cook Little and Prof. Thomas H. iReed of the politi- cal science department were the prin- cipal speakers at a campaign banquet held last night in the Union for work- ers in the S. C. A. three-day financial drive. The Student Christian association does not represent an effeminate type of organization, said President Little, but is typical of the masculine, mus- cular form of Christianity. It is the best campus activity in the country because ,no one can make a perfect score in it. In introducing his remarks, he said he was very much interested in stu- dent christian organizations, partly because they were so much misunder- stood at many universities. To dispel illusions concerning the character of the association, the President advised the campaign workers to advance the merits of the organization and to buildup its prestige while they were soliciting forit. In regard to student aid to the S. C. A., Professor Reed stated that "t is entirely possible for the Student j Christian association to be financed without student aid. However, it has I been discovered that.the full benefits of any institution cannot come to a person unless he aids the movement himself." Speaking of the value of the organi- zation, he said that it is necessary to our well-being to have a moral stand- ard to which we can repair, which will counteract the influences of other standards. This is the primary rea- son for the Student Christian assopia- tion. r Merrimam C.
