e EAT Oty a NATION'S INDUSTRY STILL HANDICAPPED - BY STRIKE TROUBLE Bright Spot !s Announcement of Expansion Program by China Company (By The Associated Press) Strikes and threats of strikes con- tinued to dot the industrial map Sat- urday. ,_ A bright spot was an announcement that a $300,000 expansion program of the Homer Laughlin China Co. at Newell, ‘W. Va., will result in employ- ment for 350 men. The most serious threat was in the oil industry. The head of the Oil Workers Union announced in Wash- ington that. 100,000 men would be called out within 48 hours if wage dif- ferentials planned for the oil code were adopted. A strike of 68 soda-workers at the Viscose Co. factory at Lewiston, Pa., against a relay system lunch period spread throughout the plant. Union leaders estimated, 3,000 are out. The soda-workers had received 30 min- utes for lunch. From Pottsville, Pa., a call to strike Monday went out to miners in four colleries of the Philadelphia Coal and Tron Co. A union spokesman said the company had failed to keep a wage agreement. He estimated 2,700 miners would be affected. All fires at a shipyard in Camden were ordered extinguished when set- Uement of differences between 3,000 striking workers and their employers became remote, Miners at the Coal Valley Mine at Jasper, Ala., worked under the protec- tion of machine-guns manned by company-employed guards. Workers returning to the mine Wednesday were fired on from ambush. From Washington came word: that an important declaration of adminis- trative attitude toward monopolies and labor in connection with the na- tional recovery act had been drawn by Donald Richberg, general counsel of NRA. When or whether it will be made public was undetermined. __? i Weather Report | es FORECAST For Bismarck and vicinity: Partly ee tonight and Sunday; colder clow and ‘Sunday cold- er_tonight.

Some of them had looked forward to a pleasant time in the Gate City but the opposite proved true. They were bored to tears waiting around in the Fargo postoffice for the jury to call them and ask whatever questions it saw fit The Bismarck crowd overflowed the two rooms provided for the comfort obvi- ously were called to testify against the administration and its political news- Paper, many others who obviously were supporters of the governor. ‘They sat side by side. Sometimes they played cards together while passing the weary hours. But they coulin't put their minds on stich pastimes because they were too interested in speculating as to what went on in the jury chamber. As proof, it may be recorded here that a Bismarck man, playing bridge and holding a “meat-axe” hand, thoughtlessly bid eight: Faas over his partner's seven no-trump. It was the biggest single laugh oi gathering. The hand, by the way, was “a lay-down.” After the grand jury sessions were over a took in the sights of the “good old days.” : Tt should be noted carefully, however, that condtict was, for the the entire good many of the delegates Moorhead, which is lined with drinking palaces rivaling most part, exemplary.

This is the lowest condition figure reported for April 1 on record. On April 1 last year, a condition of 68 per cent..was reported and two years ago 69 per cent. The 10-year average figure (1922-1931) is 79.1 per cent. The low condition of the crop {s the result of extremely unfavor- able soil moisture conditions last fall at seeding time, which retarded ger- mination, as well ag the’open winter, The first estimate of the acreage re- maining for harvest will be made on May 1. Pasture condition, too, is far below average and below that reported for any April since records were kept. The precipitation corhing shortly af- ter the first of the month has been of great benefit to pastures, and in the southern sections of the state, they are greening. Rangé and pas- ture feed is scarce and cattle are in poor flesh. Reports on stocks of grain remain- ing on farms April 1 indicate that there are 44,193,000 bushels of wheat, 2,601,000 bushels of corn and 9,962,000 bushels of oats still held by farmers in the state. These figures compare with 37,585,000 bushels of wheat, 4,- 802,000 bushels of curn and 18,938,000 bushels of oats held on farms April 1 Q year ago. The smaller stocks this year are largely the result of the smaller crops produced in 1933 as compared to those of 1932, as well as to somewhat heavier feed demands. Farm wages show a material gain over those reported a year ago. Wages by the month with board are $19.75 compared to $16.50 last year, and by the day with board $1 compared to 85 cents a year ago. Winter wheat production based on the April 1 condition of 74.3 per cent is forecast to be 491,793,000 bushels. This is 140,000,000 bushels above the short 1933 crops but an equal amount below the five-year average produc- tion for 1927-1931, Wheat stocks on farms are esti- mated to be 114,647,000 compared to 182,933,000 bushels a year ago, corn stocks 834,337,000 compared to 1,123,- 800,000 last year and oats stocks 271,- 339,000 bushels compared to 468,009,000 last April. cent as compared to 72.5 per cent last April first and to 83.3 per cent the ten-year average. Pasture con- dition is 67.1 per cent of normal, 72.0 year average.
