WEDNESDAY, MAY 20, 1981 ANTI-CHAIN STORE ’ BILLS CONSIDERED ~ THROUGHOUT U. 8. 37 States and Federal Govern- ment Have Legislation Pend- ing, Expert Says New York, May 20.—(#)—Thirty Seven states and the federal govern- ment have anti-chain store legislation of some sort pending, M. M. Zimmer- man, chain store merchandising coun- sel, said Wednesday in commenting on upholdings by the federal supreme court of Indiana “chain store” tax law. | Mr. Zimmerman recently completed | ® year’s study in the field. The Indiana law calls for a gradu- ated scale of license fees measured by the number of stores operated within the state. The supreme court held the law was not discriminatory inas- much as it taxes stores. Similar leg- islation had been held unconsti*ution- al in other states on discriminatory grounds. “There are some 85 laws pending in these 37 states,” Mr. Zimmerman said, “many of which undoubtedly are dis- criminatory. But the Indiana law may provide the outlet which the chain store foes have long been seek- fing, and it is likely that many of these laws will be changed to conform to it in outline. “The Indiana law provides that one store shall pay $3 a year; the next | five stores, $10 each; the next five,| $15; the next five, $20, and stores| thereafter $25 each. “There are in the United States about 8,000 chain systems. Sixteen hundred of these are called national chains, since they operate on a wide| scale with many units. These 1,600} probably account for more than half the chain store volume, and it is at these that the Indiana and other state legislation apparently is direct- ed.” Beauty Claims She Shot Her Husband | To Defend Herself (Continued from page 1) also testified in her behalf as a char- scter witness. Defense counsel had hardly begun his speech when the defendant's mother, who came here from St. Louis to testify, collapsed. The heat was stifling. She revived quickly and the chief of defense counsel began summing up. “She is too beautiful to be bad,” he told the jurors, reiterating that the defendant's plea of self-defense had been amply substantiated by the tes- timony. ‘The former St. Louis beauty queen ‘won on a plea of self-defense. It was @ Drief but dramatic trial} from the time it started Wednesday | morning until the jury returned with its verdict. ‘The stifling court room was packed and when the proceedings resumed after the luncheon recess 1,000 men and women, many of them Ameri- cans, stormed the court room. Po- lice reserves required 20 minutes to clear the corridors. Examining Board For Evangelical Conference Meets «Continued from page 1) communion service by Rev. George E.

Ask Mussolini to Do Something About Music by Non-Union Men in Chicago Chicago, May 20.—(”)—Premier Mussolini has been asked to do something about the music in Chicago. James C. Petrillo, president ot the Chicas Federation of Musi- cians announced that he had dis- patched a cablegram to Premier Mussolini complaining that Si- gnor Giuseppe Castruccio, Italian consul general here, had a pen- chant for using non-professional musicians for social and state functions. “I have addressed you,” the eablegram said, “because I am sure that a letter from you to Signor Castruccio suggesting that he cooperate a little more with the recognized Musicians’ union will bring about a better under- | standing between all the parties involved.” . | The cablegram was sent after Petrillo said he learned that mu- sic for the Italians at an interna- tional pageant Tuesday night was to be furnished by non-union musicians. He protested and the musical organization he said had been invited by the consul gen- eral to play was withdrawn. ‘The pageant was called off be- | cause of unfavorable weather.

Committee Attacks Some Businessmen as ‘Shortsighted’ Washington, May 20.—(#)}—Better organization to keep “any unjustified, unsound, uneconomic burden from be- ing forced upon labor's back” was suggested Wednesday to metal trades councils by the American Federation | of Labor. The Federation’s Metal Trades de- partment held that since “shortsight- ed and selfish employers, . . . encour- aged by the advice of some of the nation’s leading bankers, are reducing or attempting to reduce wages,” ac- tive efforts should be made to or- ganize the unorganized. Such a step, it said, would enable more wage earn- ers to “make use of collective action” aganst lower pay proposals. Asserting the American wage earn- ers and their dependents constitute 85 per cent of the population and it is the goods they purchase which maintain American industries, the de- partment said “the present depression was caused prinicpally by the failure of industry to pay wages in propor- tion to the wealth being created.” “Some of those who reaped inordi- nate profits during the so-called pe- riod of prosperity, now are endeavor- ing to force labor to bear the burden ; of the employers’ unsound and un- economic business policies,” the de- partment said. The federation itself and President Green of the organization have said that labor would resist any attempts as general wage reductions. Secretary Doak of the labor depart- Associated Press Photo coed beauty, and re suspended from Akron university, Akron, Ohio, ited an al- lege In the election of @ May Queen. ment reported he had no information that general reductions were con- templated, but added the administra- tion would consider such action @ vio- lation of faith since employers and employes promised President Hoover in 1929 to maintain the wage level despite the depression.” Gentlemen:- Order by number.

Lawson, Will- mar, Accuses Minnesota Solons in Speech St. Paul, May 20.—(7)—State of- ficials were considering informally Wednesday charges made by a state senator that a bootlegger operated unmolested in the capito] during the last legislative session. ‘The assertion was made by Senator Victor E. Lawson, Willmar, at the an- nual meeting of the Minnesota Con- ference Lutheran Brotherhood in Minneapolis Tuesday night. He also charged the last legislature was “wet.” Denouncing men in state politics whom he characterized as “taking prohibition and its enforcement as a Joke,” Senator Lawson said that there was bootlegging in the hails of the capitol was first called to my atten- tion by a woman employed at the capitol. I asked her to point out the men and I would have them arrested, but she never did it.” “when I talked seriously about pro- hibition and its enforcement, many of the senators took it as a joke,” he said. “At the least mention on the floor of the senate that prohibition ie ai: success, senators would laugh out “To them it was a joke. Scarcely more than two dozen senators voted dry on a test vote, this in spite of the fact that most of the men in the sen- ate were elected by the help of a dry ‘vote. “Minnesota is a dry state, there can be no question about it. The only reason these wet senators were there was because the Christian people of Minnesota have gone to sleep.” “Red Line” Standard korm Legal Blanks The Most Complete and Up-to-date Send for the New 1931 Legal Blank Catalogue—Just Out This new catalog contains a revised list of “Red Line” legal blanks, comprehen- sively arranged in two different forms for the convenience of our customers.

Dollar Has Great Purchasing Power Washington, May 20—()}—The 1926 wholesale dollar was worth $1.364 last month. ‘The labor department found Wed- nesday that the dollar’s value during the year had more purchasing power than any of the other 550 commodi- ties covered by the calculations. The April, 1931, coin could have bougnt rubber that would have cost 27.519 in April, 1926. Last month’s dollar also was worth $2.264 in petroleum products, $2.212 in silk and rayon and $2.188 in auto- mobile tires. The department said the index number of the April, 1931, dollar based on 1926 as 100, was 73.3, or 1.2 less than March of this year. Among food price decreases last month were butter, cheese, fresh and cured meats, lard, rye flour and corn meal. The only increases were in grains, other foods and automobiles.
