ing the amendment.

mer to show cause on July Kith why
the motion should not he granted.
The proceedings are on the basis
of percentages and it is claimed that
ratification by the West Virginia leg

BERLIN. July 7— “Gormai y’s
greatest troubie at the present tim ' is
her decline in production,” said ( arl
Friedrich von Siemens at the annual
shareholders meeting of the Sicilians
& Halske electrical concern today.
“Nowhere in Germany is the im
perative need for increasing product
ive labor sufficiently appraised,” he ,
continued. “Far too many people are j
engaged in non-productive work; the
•lumber of officials in state and priv
ate enterprises is excessive. All stnt- i
sties based on the mark standard
iiow large increases, hut that stand
mi is a false one. Expressed in tons,
production has declined largely.”
If err von Siemens said that the 10
ont improvement in the German ex
change, however gratifying in itself,
has had the effect of restricting ex
ports. In many ranges of articles man
ufactured by the company, the domes
•ic prices had already exceeded the
world market prices. Even countries
with a bad exchange like Germany
were already almost completely bar
red to them.
There was a world-wide demand for
nil classes of goods, said Herr von
Siemens, hut the high cost of produc
tion was killing business, and to a
great extent these high prices were
caused by under-production.
