When we reached the little niche in ‘the corridor | stopped. - There was no one in sight; we were visible from only one or two doors, and they were closed: not even a police- man was to be seen up and down the ‘length of the shadowy deserted corridor. ‘*Now then,” I said, about the token.” “But 1 don’t know,"” said Sue in what was almost a wall. “It is just gone. And I thought it was so safe,” “When did you lose it?” “Sometime last night.” “You don’t mean anyone got into your room during the night?” I wig frightened. I had her by the arm, gripping it so hard that she winced. #Oh, no, no! The door was locked and bolted all night.” i “When, then?” I asked, only a lit- tle relieved. “1 don’t know. 1 looked at it— the token, you know—yesterday about mnoon.

GEORGE ‘WASHINGTON, June 29— Big battering ram in the government's widespread attack on the forces of | depression is the $3,300,000,000 in- | dustrial | measure, rec -public y Th2 money it authorizes is to be spent on various kinds of construc- ition with the aim of stimulating business generally and with the ex- pectation also that business prac- way as to put the maximum num- ber of unemployed back to work.

Gevernment Hac Whip Hand The . business,. regulatory, features of the measure are designed to promote ‘coordination within indus- try. Its advocates see it placing the | protecting arm of Uncle Sam about those industries and trade associa- tions which adopt trade agree- ments looking to the increase of wages, elimination of the sweat- shop .and of unfair competition of all kinds, It likewise gives the government 4 whip hand over those business| enterpthes which fail to abide by, a ‘cade of -fair competition, author- izing_the, President to license in- lust.r\eb wherever he finds it ne- cessary. It provides also & penalty for violation of any provisions of a code of fair competition. No_code will be sanctioned, says Sennmr Robert ‘F. Wagner, co- proved that approval will neither promote menopoly fior discriminate against small enterprise. “Competition is not abolished,” he said. It is only made rational”. President, - Roosevelt has. stated that it 4s his purpose to get all possible public works. projects start- ed within a year.
