Wenzel presented his statement, which refutes statements made by he chairman of the convention, be- ‘ore the annual convention of the International association of Indug- ‘trial Accident Boards and Commis- ions at Paterson, N. J., a short ime ago. THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE men’s Compensation Bureau Has Small Plant Coverage Problem YOUTH OF 21 GETS SEAT ON The substance of Wenzel’s state- ment follows: “I said, y again, that North Dal has the “small plant problem to the nth de- “gree. It hasn’t the problem from the standpoint of the exclusive state-fund (so-called) states. It hasn’t the problem of getting the small plants covered, but it has the problem to the nth degree, because more than 50 per cent of the total number of classifications covered in North Dakota have nothing but small plants, and that, notwithstand- ing the fact that we have reduced the total number of classifications from 245 to 160 since my appoil ment as a commissioner five yea: ago. Accident Cost Increases Evidence of growing recognition of the mounting accident cost in all states and the. consequent need of directing attention to accident pre- vention wotk was marked at the annual meeting, according to the report of the convention ‘made by Mr. Wenzel upon his return to Bis- marck. “The prevailing view seemed to be that while safety devices and safety regulations were essential, the more far-reaching results were to be achieved through programs of safety education among employes. In this particular field of work the du Pont de Nemours company, Wil- mington, Del., has been a leader, and it contributed materially to the presentation of facts pointing to the need for such safety education and of factors that had contributed to the reduction in the number and severity of accidents in their own plants. A booklet, outlining their safety poster contest, and covering 104 common undesirable conditions and accident-causing practices, w: distributed at the meeting.” The follawing papers were sub- mitted at the convention: “What is being: done for safety in Canada?” by R. B. Morley, ‘Toronto; “What accident prevention can do,” by J dents,” by Thomas P. Kearns, Ohio. The rs of certain paints to “workmen; ¢specially to automobile bers, are discussed freely at the ing. Wenzel had the following say concerning garages: “I am also from the discussion hie’ the installation of iting systems in these ai ting places, and the s that : eed arin indicate if something of the kind must be e Guaranty Fund es Statement Predicted “It’s your daughter-in-law, Ed; wants to know if you're wasting your time with us loafers again.” DEVOTION OF WIFE CHANGED TREND OF WISCONSIN POLITICAL SITUATION Walter J. Kohler, Gubernator- ial Candidate, Owes Posi- tion to Mate Milwaukee, Oct. 9.—(AP)—A woman’s tribute to. her husband launched Walter J. Kohler, million- aire manufacturer, into politics, and enabled him in his first contest to defeat politicians previously invul- nerable in state elections. Kohler, conservative republican candidate for governor, opposed by the La Follette forces, and a fac- tion of that group that had followed Governor Fred Zimmerman off the Progressive reservation, won the nomination for the governorship. pposed by Albert G. Schmen- mayor of Madison. Chance and his wife's devotion inated by conservative republicans to seek posts of delegates at large to the national convention died. The first door swung back for Kohler, who knew little about the practical- iy of what happened in the ai where popular eléctions were held. But the msnufacturer’s wealth was a handicap, members of the executive committee thought, in d| considering him for a place on the delegation. The Kohlers attended executive session, The manu- facturer’s name was about to be abandoned when his wife, companion of 28 years, told of his sincerity, devotion and worth.

STATE PLEASES BOOK READERS State-Owned Books Now Being Distributed for Winter Fireside Winter evenings by the reading lamp this year will be a real source j of pleasure to North Dakotans who are fond of books, according to offi- cials of the state library here. Scores of traveling libraries now are being distributed by the depart- ment to clubs, schools and individ- uals and in addi the department | this year 3 again ieee its package library service. ! This consists of a package of 10 op 12 books sent to any individual who applies for them. The borrower may indicate the type of books he refers and the library will be guided ‘3 his preference in selecting the | titles to be placed in the package. Packages also can be made up to meet the reading needs of an entire family. * The library does not promise that the books contained in the packages will be the latest published or the season’s best sellers. Rather they will be books which are regarded in library circles as “staple goods.” In this classification comes the best sellers of ‘séveral-seasons ago and standard works on various subjects. If borrowers want a particular book they may obtain it by writing to the library’s reference department. | Packages are loaned for a two- month period and the borrower pays the postage both ways. A recent change in the parcel post rules with rd to books reduces the cost, providing the label. used when the packages shipped is also used for the return. The return label will indicate that the package conforms to the law, librarians said. A new group of Scandinavian books has been purchased by tt libra: a list will be sent to borrowers on request. Included in the list are books by such authors as Rolvaag, Lagerlof, Bojer and Hameun.

Rob ‘at | vice presidential Current Value of Seat Is $410,- 000; Roth’s Rise Is Sen- sational New York, Oct. 9.—The youngest holder of a seat on tthe New York Stock Exchange is Emil J. Roth, just 21, who until he took his seat held the humble and inglorious job of page in the exchange. With the current value of a seat $410,000—if you can buy one—young | Roth’s sudden rise in the financial world is significant and startling. His own energy and evident abil- ity, and his uncle, Samuel Unger- jleider, made it possible for him. He Proved Himself rleider is the head of Sam- ingerleider & Co., one of the important brokerage offices of Wall Street, and he transferred his mem- bership in the exchange to his nephew—but not until Roth had shown his mettle and convinced his uncle that he could carry on in the largest securities market of the world. 8 The success of Ungerleider always spiration to young Roth, who announced his intentions early in his youth of following his uncle’s example. Ungerleider’s promises to help his nephew were always on condition that Roth could prove he could help himself. Roth decided to get his education 1 the school of experience rather than at Yale or Harvard, and im- mediately after his graduation from high school jn Allentown, Pa., in 1925, he applied for a position in the Cleveland office of his uncle’s firm. Won Promotion’ No favoritism was shown Roth. On the contrary, obstacles were rather purposely put in his way, and he weathered the discipline which Ungerleider considers a necessary factor in preparation for a Wall street career. About a year ago Roth won pro- motion to the New York office, where he immediately was under the eye of ‘his uncle. On January of this year, he was hired as a page boy by the New York Exchange, and in this role he worked until his elec- tion to a seat was approved by the exchange authorities... Now he is entitled to all the ex- change’s privileges, and is busy on the exchange floor every day match- ing wits in big financial deals with men much riper in age and. exper- ience. Roth’s parents live in Cleveland, where-his father is in business, SMITH LEAVES ALBANY TODAY Virginia, North Carolina and Tennesdee to Get Glimpse of Governer Un uel Albany, N.

Trade Crop Estimates: Cause Early Setbacks Chicago, Oct. 9.— (4) — Wheat jie went downgrade here today, largely as a result of northwestern line dealers’ reports indicating 000,000 bashels ‘larger Canadian wheat yield than ' ber -official returns. There was also selling here to prepare for thé United States government crop report, due after the close of today’s tradin; while export demand for w! North America was only fai some domestic No. 2 hard winter wheat and some amber wheat was said to have been disposed of to Europe. Contrary to predictions which of late had received rather wide pub- licity, Canadian grain trade esti- mates given out last night were shown to indicate yields of wheat in Canada fully as large as recent fig- ures from other sources, under such cimcumstances, a znrish construc- tion today was placed on the new figures. In this connection, special notice was taken of relative weak- ness of the Winnipeg market, whereas Liver~ool wheat prices at times were showing comparative firmness. Favorable weather for the new corn crop afforded some advantage to the selling side of the corn mar- ket. Besides corn raat in Chi- cago today were a little larger than has recently been the rule. On the other hand, advices were received telling of corn export business at the*seaboard and of better cash de- mand for corn in the west, WHEAT FUTURES SAGGING TODAY Minneapolis, Minn., Oct. 9.—(?)— Wheat futures 1%c at the outset today when 1 cables came lower than due an¢ news overnight was construed as bearish.
