Even. then, a number of NRA officials were considering possibilities of temporarily relaxing present standards of wage-raising and hour-shortening efforts so far as they affect the construction and al- Hed industries. Green’s 30-hour week demand vir- tually clinched the absolute opposi- tion of union labor to any such plan, whether for the construction or any other industry. NRA officials giving thought to the problem also were quick to emphasize their considera- tions must be reviewed by Hugh 8. Johnson before approaching the stage of final drafting. Green told the metal trades de- partment of the American Federa- tion of Labor Thursday “the slack in) employment is not being taken up as rapidly as conditions demand.” He added: “The one remedy that.must be em- ployed is a six-hour day, five-day week.

Murphy, publisher of the Minneapolis Tribune and representa- tive of the United States at"the In- ternational Wheat Conference, told farmers and busine at a Fargo luncheon meeting lay. 2 Murphy, who returned from London Sept. 8 after signing the international wheat agreement in behalf of-the United States, came to Fargo as a guest of the Greater North Dakota association and spoke under its aus- pices. Directors of the association held their annual meeting here to- gether with representative farmers and businegs men of the area. “The fundamental implication of the international wheat agreement signed in London by 22 different na- tions,” Murphy said, “is that the world production of wheat must be con- trolled.” ‘ “We might just as well recognise the fact right now that the-era of expansion is over. That may not be a pleasant fact, but facts are under no obligation to be pleassant. Neither are they ‘concerned with popular ap- proval. Wheat is raised for human consymption—either directly or in- directly. The increase of population in the civilized world is slowing down. We all know that in this country a large family is a thing of the past. At the present rate, by 1950 or 1960 the annual death tate in the United States will equal the annual birth rate. “What_is’ true .of the.

Captain Mathew Leach of the In- diana state police said he understood station WIND of Gary, Ind., had fail- ed to broadcast a retraction of an-al- legedly erroneous radio report pur- Porting to describe a fight between the ‘escaped convicts and police. As a Tesult the officer said he would file charges against WIND. He added the ‘promise of retraction had been made when he released Steve Trumbull, an employe of the Columbian broadcasting system, who had been taken to Tremont for ques- tioning. ‘The broadcast was made Wednesday night from the scene of the manhunt and recorded an interview with Mrs. ‘Thelma Gustafson, who told of seeing several escaping convicts near her home. Trumbull, said the shots were fired by three officers and one civilian without solicitation from the radio operators. He denied the broadcast was erroneous, Meanwhile Sheriff Neel is still miss- ihg. So are all ten of the convicts who slugged and shot their way to freedom from the Michigan City state penitentiary last Tuesday. Governor Paul V.

New York — Thirty-one hundred knitting workers were expected to re- turn to work Monday as the result of a tentative agreement with their em- ployers. , The demonstrators in Pennsylvaina hoped ‘to add the Clairton plant's 6,- 000 employes to the 10,000 other steel workers and 75,000 miners already on of steel and coal. Swarming into Cairton, the march- ers stormed the gates of the steel company’s plant and ripped clothing from a number of workers. Hungry after their nocturmal trek from the Fayette county coal fields, the pickets seized dinner buckets of men 6n their way to work and de- voured the contents. A small army of ajty, state, tom- pany and county police, armed with riot guns, rifles, revolvers and tear gas, stood by at vantage poitns but said they were powerless to halt the mob without resorting to violence. Breastworks of sand bags were thown up at the steet plant’s entrance during the night. Ask Frick Employes Most of the striking miners are em- ‘ployes of the H. C. Frick Coak com- pany.

About 6,000 men are on the Clairton payroll. ‘The trouble at Clairton is but one phase of labor unrest which has re- sulted in almost 100,000 steel and mine workers walking out in Penn- sylvania, West Virginja and Ohio.

TOMASTERLY MUSIC. INTHURSDAY TREAT Mr. and Mrs. Louis Kaufman) Get Warm Ovation After Recital in Auditorium Bismarck music lovers thrilled Thursday night to one of the finest} Presentations in the history of the Capital City. . From the opening phrases of Han- éel’s Sonata in D Major to the last strains of an encore number, they were gripped by the finished artistry of Mr. ang Mrs. Louis Kaufman whose recital before. a,packed house at the city auditorium was one of the high lights in Bismarck’s musical istory. That Mrs. Kaufman, the former Annette Leibole, is a former local girl, undoubtedly contributed much te the near capacity attendance. But it was her artistry and that of her husband which drew salvo after salvo of applause and a real ovation at the finish. ‘The concert, sponsored by! the ‘Thursday Musical club and the Busi- ness and Professional Women’s club, was a pronounced financial success. The proceeds will go to pay the salary for this year of Miss Ruby Wilmot, music teacher in the city schools, who was dropped last year by the city school board as an economy move. Mr. and Mrs. Kaufman donated their services in the interest of music promotion in’ Bismarck. Mrs. Kaufman was a stunning fig- ure as, garbed in a velvet gown, she took her place at the piano, loaned for the occasion by Dr. and Mrs. F. B. Strauss. Sonata Brilliantly Done Handel's Sonata, the opening num- ber, was executed with a precision and skill which drew well-earned ap- plause at the close of each section, Adagio, Allegro, Larghetto and Al- legro. In Kaufman's practiced hands the violin became a thing alive, in- terpreting the moods and whimsies of a great musical master. As accompanist, Mrs. Kaufman lent the right touch of musical back- ground and, in those parts where the piano played alone, gave brilliant in- terpretation of a, difficult work.

By nightfall the farm administra- tion expects to have, as a result of a month’s purchase, nearly 6,000,000 pigs weighing up to 100 pounds and jmore than 150,000 sows soon to far- Tow. In the storage rooms of packing plants which have processed the cwine, the administration will have cn hand upwards of 100,000,000 pounds of pork prepared for distribution to the needy by the federal relief admin- istration. Already a new program aimed to control future production of hogs and corn grown principally as hog feed, was nearly completed by the admin- istration’s economists and attorneys. Tt was scheduled to be announced within the next 10 days and contem- plates no more government purchases but the payment rather of benefits to both hog and corn growers in return tor agreements to cut production dur- ing the next year. Administrators also will make early announcement of the rate of a hog- processing tax which will supply the funds for the purchasing program. A tax of a half cent a pound has been under consideration for this purpose. Payments for hog purchases have ween made in advances from the treasury which must be repaid from the proceeds of the processing tax. Administrators originally set their goal of purchases at 1,000,000 sows and 4,000,000 pigs. They offered a tonus of $4 a head over market prices for the sows and flat prices of from oe eee eee ee pigs. But the farmers withheld their sows from the market and when the sow purchases fell below expectation the quota of little pigs was raised to BUSNESS REVIEW SHES ACCELERATION Dun and Bradstreet Say Sep- tember Is Closing Better Than it Opened New York, Sept. 29.—(#}—The Dun & Bradstreet Inc,, Weekly Trade Re- view said Friday that September is closing better than it opened under accelerated industrial recovery and more vigorous consumer buying. “The desire to build inventories in jadvance of rising markets,” asserted | The Review, “virtually has come to an lend, giving a steadier tone to buying | movements and a firmer base on | Which to plan future operations, “The comparatively large number of banks which still are closed or operating under restrictions continue @ perpetual handicap of no mean proportions in many districts, while Plans for expansion are being held in abeyance by the higher collateral re- quirements for loans, pending clarifi- cation of the entire banking situa- “Volume of chain specialty stores |was about the same as for the week evidence of the mastery which this |) couple have achieved over their cho- fean emotions and ie R i E & ii
