July 11. (AP.) President Hoover, in a message today to the second annual conference on smaller industries held here, declared these little units of the economic system were "vitally important in the human sense," employing half the workers of the nation. 1 The President's message was read at the opening of the conference, a president, Paul L.

(AP.) A Btrong call for return to the gold standard was issued today by the directors of the Bank for International Settlements with the approval of the representatives ol Britain, Japan and Sweden, which are off gold. The concurrence of the British, Japanese and Swedish representatives "was taken as an indication that their governments Intend shortly to return to gold. Montagu Normsn, governor of the Bank of England and the British member of the board, was not present, but his alternate voted for the gold resolution with Mr.

Norman's approval This was the first puBlic Indication of the stand of the Bank of England since the nation went off gold last fall. more comprehensive service to the force the rules and principles of the the enforcement of the rules of the zations, with which companies represented by members in the association are affiliated. The principal objects of the association shall be "In every lawful way, (a) to maintain among Its membcis establish the practice of fair dealing ciples In competition with one another, and to support all territorial and special organizations which shall be listed by the board of trustees and of which companies represented In the organization are, or- shall become, members; "(b) To bring abount Improvements, reforms and economies In the methods and practice of conducting allied lines so that the methods for more economical; that rates may be better adapted to the needs of various localities, classes of business and Individual owners; that forms of coverage better suited 'to the changing conditions of business and manufacture may be devised; and In general that the operations of com panies may be more efficiently conducted and better service rendered to the insuring public, and (c) to promote the Interests of stock Insurance companies." Inquiry Is being made to determine If lt Is a fact that certain trunk line railroads are assuming Insurance charging for It against shippers. This would constitute doing Insurance business, lt Is claimed. The New York Board of Underwriters and Insurance men have been in conference with the Interstate Commerce Commission on the subject.

Andrew MacKechnie, a fire Insurance rate expert, was called io testify by John J. Hickey, counsel for the warehousemen's protective committee and stated that rates ranged from 25 cents to $2 per $100. No piers are fireproof, it was asserted and fighting such fires is difficult. The charge of the private warehouse companies is that the railroads of recent years have been Indulging In the practice of insuring the stored merchandise of shippers on their pier terminals and charging the shipper 8 cents a $100 a year and assuming the risk themselves, whereas the regular rate that the shipper would have to pay' an insurance company would be anywhere from 25 cents to $2 or more, and that by this saving they had been able to draw business away from the private commercial warehouses. The extent to which heavy trucking has cut into legitimate activities of railroads was never better Illustrated than by a report of the Corn Belt farm dailies covering stock movements by truck.

Last year this phase of trucking established a new record. They handled 21,162,430 calves, cattle, hogs and sheep. Exactly one-third of the total receipts at 17 markets were transported by trucks, representing a 25 per cent increase over 1930. Although the "New Haven" Railroad has speeded both passenger and freight service under the new regime of President John J. Pelley to a degree believed to be impossible only a few years ago, even greater speeds, which will enable more adequate competition with the airplane, will be made possible in the near future.

The speed program of the "New Haven" has advanced step by step, the latest advance being one which will take place this year with the placing of heavier rail on its main line tracks between New York and Boston. During the year, 10,000 tons of the heavier steel, 130-pound rail, will replace the 107-pound rail now in use. At the present time, the "New Haven" has already replaced the lighter rail with the 130-pound type on 234 miles of track and this program will eventually include the entire main line between New York and Boston. When the old steel has been entirely replaced, it will make for safer, smoother and faster operation of trains. Last year, faster running time was made possible for many of the railroad's crack trains by the introduction of new locomotives of extraordinary size in passenger service.

This was preceded a short time previous by the use of huge new freight locomotives capable of hauling long trains at passenger train speeds. Both electric and steam locomotives are included among the newer demons of speed. In passenger service, roller-bearing equipped deluxe coaches have also aided the increased speed of regular trains, this type of equipment reducing friction and making train riding more smooth and comfortable than ever before.

Huey Long Tells Senate When a Man Is Drunk Washington, July 11. (AP.) Huey Long gave the Senate some legal advice today on how to determine what constitutes intoxicating liquor.

The Louisiana senator said he had made an investigation in connection with the Senate's difficulty in determining what is intoxicating liquor and had settled the question, when a human being is intoxicated. He quoted from Mordecai's law lectures from the North Carolina Law Journal the following: "Not drunk is he who from the floor can rise again and drink once more. "But drunk is he who prostrate lies and cannot either drink or rise." Buys Rare Wines Anticipating Repeal New York, July 11. (AP.)

Hartford. Conn. Legal Notices As long as these fundamental problems will not have been taken up by the government one can only expect little or no progress from a purely monetary action or from en attempt to reestaDusn tne mnction-ing of the gold standard between countries. When, on the contrary, sufficient progress will have been realized in the settlement of these questions and simultaneously there begins the work of economic reconstruction, the goal of monetary reconstruction can be envisaged. The Bank for International Settlements will be at the disposition of the central banks to serve them as a common organ in the task of monetary restoration ol tne international regime of the gold standard.

The board wishes to register Its accord with the general conclusion of the report adopted Sn June. 1932, by the majority members of the members of the gold delegation of the LeaRue of Nations. Its conclusions appear to be an exrellent startine point for the de tailed establishment of monetaryl principles which can later receive their practical application. Wall St. Opinions What Analysts Say About the Market (Furnished by Putnam Co.) The feeling over the week-end was not especially optimistic, largely due to poor earnings and trade forecast.

Contrary to expectations, the market was strong all through the session and closed at the best figures of the day, with active buying in of short and some little long speculative buying as well. This latter is a rare" occurrence these days. The market was influenced by the statement of Speaker Garner that Congress would adjourn before Sundav, and also by the report that the bill authorizing the manufacture and sale of beer and light wines was up for discussion before the Senate. We think the market from now on will gradually work towards better figures and if it can only go up 5 to JO points from present figures we should reach a level where there would be very few stocks for sale. City Workers Get First Slim Envelopes Today Computation of the general city payroll on the basis of the 10 per cent reduction in salaries and wages ordered by the Common Council has been completed at the office of Controller E.

E. Lamb. The reduced compensation will be operative today in payment of weekly wages in the Street Department. The general citywlde reduction will be reflected in salary checks which will be distributed Wednesday. Controller Lamb was conference Monday with Corporation Counsel Frederic J.

Washington, July 11. (AP.) Postmaster General Brown said to day he would have to "abolish Christmas" unless some method was found to furlough postal employees during slack mail periods. "We are in an awful mess at the Post Office Department over this furlough business," he said. "People wouldn't stand for their mall on a five-day week basis and to furlough men at the rate of five days a montn during tne summer would work an unfair hardship on them." Brown talked with President Hoo ver today about the problem.

F. Long Boston. July 11. (AP.) The pub lic was warned today by Henry F. Long commissioner of corporations and taxation that it must give up what it cannot afford In government.

Long called upon the New England Council to do everything In its power to get It clearly to the people that there is a limitation in the amoun of money that government can spend. In a letter to the council r.e Eaid that "if the people generally can adopt the thought that they must give up everything In government except tnat wnicn is tne means of the community to pay for, our troubles will be solved.

pro Study CamDaiffii Spending, Finance Body; Loans Talk Treasury Reserve Inquiries Washington, July 11. (AP.) TwcJ new investigations were launched today by the Senate, while a searching inquiry into the conduct ot the Treasury and Federal Reserve board was discussed without reaching a conclusion by the Rules Committee of the House. One of the new Senate committees will keep a watchful eye on the expenditures of Presidential and Senatorial candidates. The other is to make sure the loans of the Reconstruction Finance Corporation are strictly in accord with law. Measures launching both inquiries were adopted with little, debate and without record votes.

Without openly opposing, two Administration financial spokesmen made it clear to the House Rules Committee that a Congressional investigation of the Treasury and Federal Reserve Board Is considered undesirable. Under-Secretary Ballantine of the' Treasury and Eugene Meyer, governor of the Federal Reserve Board, were the witnesss. Ballantine said while the Treasury had no objection to a Congressional investigation, he did believe an inquiry would hamper the department in the application of the recently-enacted tax laws. Meyer likewise said he had no objection to an investigation into the Federal Reserve but called the attention of the committee to the fact that the Senate Banking Committee had just completed a twq years study of the Reserve system. Representatives McFadden, Republican, Pennsylvania, and Patman, Democrat.

New Haven, July II. J. Weissman. of West Haven, was arrested today on a charge of selling securities without a license. His case was continued until Thursday tn City Court, The gold resolution, aaopiea oy unanimous vote of the board of directors, took on added significance because it came on the heels of the Lausanne agreement virtually ending reparations which was signed last week.

The resolution declared that to restore economic normality it will be necessary for that agreement to be followed by "a satisfactory solution of the war debts." This phrase. It was explained subsequently, was not aimed at the United States alone. Best Monetary Mechanism. Gold, the resolution, said, Is the "best available monetary mechanism and best suited to make possible a free flow of the world's trade." Measures to reestablish the gold standard should be prepared, the resolution said, and the directors decreed that the World Bank act as a common agency In the task of monetary reconstruction, which will begin at the projected world economic conference, to which the United States will be Invited. "Realization of these measures," the directors resolved, "depends first on action by the governments.

Without that it Is beyond the power of the central banks." For the mechanism of International payments to operate satisfactorily, It will be necessary, the resolution said, "to restore to a reasonable degree the freedom of goods, services and capital; to complete the solution of reparations reached at Lausanne by a satisfactory solution of the war debts, and to take the necessary steps In each country to restore and maintain the equilibrium of International economy, not enly as regards the public revenue and expenditure, but also as regards production costs and the organization of the internal money and capital markets. Gates W. Mrrarrah. the American head of the World Bank, was authorised to follow up the resolution. Text of Resolution.

Following is the text of the resolution calling for the return of the gold standard. The board of the bank for International settlement, recognizing that to faciliate lnternationsl tet-tlement under the best conditions of stability and security It Is necessary to reestablish a monetary system reposing on a common basis, unanimously declares its judgment that the gold standard regime remains the monetary mechanism which best meet this necessity because it is the most appropriate to assure the free movement of world commerce and international finance operations. It believes it Is desirable to prepare steps for adopting oil measures necessary for reestablishmcnt of the opera! ion of the gold standard amon? nations. To make this return possible, the board deems necessary the preliminary adoption of measures calculated to restabllsh equilibrium in the economic structure and the financial structure of various countries by means of international cooperation and national efforts, ReaU With Government. The putting Into practice of thse measures seems to depend In the first place upon the action of gov-eminent, and If this is lacking these -measures are outside the power of the central banks.

To permit the machinery cf the International balance of payments to function anew satisfactorily, It is necessary to reestablish a reasonable degree of liberty in the movement of merchandises, the exchange of tervices and the possibilities lor the circulation of capital; to complete the solution which the negotiators have reached at Lausanne on the problem of reparations in giving equally satisfactory solution to the problem of war debts; and to endeavor to secure in each country the reestablishment and maintenance of internal equilibrium, simultaneously for budgets, cost prices NOW IS THE TIME TO INSURE NOT AFTER THE FIRE I ALLEN, RUSSELL 6-ALLEN 31 LEWIS STREET SOLE FOR HARTFORD Lout on or about April 1, la2, fiv eoupon t22 50 each, si 13. due Aprj 1, li2. attached from bond of th Pcacfyrvasla Railroad Companj forty )ar 4.H lu ariaturing 174, bond r.umtTed to 40754 eark coupoa numbered 4.
