RETAIL TRADE HOLDING LEVEL Consumers Are Hesitating,| However, Although Funds | Waiting for Release NEW YORK, Oct. 6—The gen- eral pace of trade, said the Dun- Bradstreet, Inc., review today, has become slower with reports from nearly all parts of the country em- phasizing slackening of activity in both “centers, production and dis- tribution. | The review commented on the| lower rate of manufacturing op-| erations which have persisted for| more than one month aggravated by labor disputes. Wages Are Lagging Wages are still lagging behind the advancing prices in most parts of the country. The retail trade has held fairly; steady in last weeks’ level, but“ the gains, which should be accu-| mulating at this period, are al- most entirely absent. No Apprehension While no feeling of apprehen- sion can be discerned the atti- tude of consumers is generally hes- itation, awaiting the force of some strong impetus to release funds | which are admittedly double of| those available a year ago for| acquisition of merchandise. — JOHN AMACHRAY DIES IN- PRISON Man Who Admitted Tak- ing $560,000 in 25 Years, Passes Away WINNIPEG, Oct. 6—John A.

NOW ANNOUNCED Issues Statement on Alcohol Problem NEW YORK, Oct. 6.—John D. Rockefeller Jr., has outlined two prime objectives of liquor control. The first objective is abolition of lawlessness and the second the focusing of all forces of society on the development of self-control of temperance in the use of alco- holic beverages. ! Any program offered in lieu of the Eighteenth Amendment, Rock-| efeller said, must make abolition of lawlessness “its first chief aim, even if, and I weigh carefully what I say, the immediate results are temporarily away from tem- perance.” Regarding the second objection, Rockefeller said: “It is To de- velop a habit of temperance in individuals and to take up again | the slow march of education that is a real fundamental approach to the problem of alcohol.” Rock- efeller's statement was a fore- word to his forth-coming report on liquor control made under his sponsorship by Raymond B. Fos- dock, attorney and Albert L. Scott, | engineer. ——eto—— MORE THAN 3.2 BEER IS TURNED OUT BY BREWERS.

Karnes, who returned to Juneau on the Alaska yester- day after a seven weeks' official trip through the Second, Third and Fourth Divisions. The abolition of the rural school boards was the major change in the Territorial school system made by the Territorial Board of Edu- cation at its meeting in Juneau last May. Any doubt that may have existed regarding its favor was erased during this trip, ace cording to Mr. Karnes. In Good Condition Schools throughout the Territory are in good condition, Mr. Karnes said. Some new buildings are needed, as well as painting and minor repair work. Enrollment remains about the same. Since he left here August 16, the Comunissioner of Education has visited more schools than have ever been covered on a single frip. In several towns, his visit was the first the community had ever had from a Territorial school head. Mr. Karnes was in Cordova for the American Legion Convention in August, and there took the S. S.
