By the Associated Press. NOTTINGHAM, England, September 1.—John Beard, Trades' Unionist, in his presidential address at the Trades TUnions'_sixty-second annual congress today, denounced the tactics of the James Maxton left wing Labor group in Parliament as “‘manifestations of dis- cord displayed within the Labor party at a time when unity is most needed.” Beard said this sithation was “dispir- fting to the mass of men and women, who, at the last general election, gave up their rest, time and money which they could ill afford from their sparse earnings to place the Labor party in office.” ‘The speaker said he did not believe the Trade Union movement ever would adopt an all around protection tariff policy. He averred, on the other hand. that the movement probably would never ally itself with any rigid free trade theory. ‘The speaker advanced the suggestion that wherever there is a sufficiency of on hand, workers should take a day for month, or even two months, in the year with pay. He said the scheme would not cost too much, as the nation could give the unemployed worker a definite vacation and bring him back to work. If out| of work the nation would have to pay him sick pay and poor-law payments, all due to unemployment, Beard con- cluded.

LIMA, Peru, September 1.—Peru's new military government, beginning its second week under Lieut. Col. Louis M. | Sanchez Cerro, yesterday began making | over the Peruvian diplomatic service. [ The government announced it was | quite satisfied with the services of Manuel Freyre y Santander, Peruvian | ambassador at Washington, and would | retain him in that post. | But the minister to France, Mariano Cornejo, was less fortunate, He was ordered to deliver the legation to the secretary and then come to Lima for investigation into his conduct. Fran- cisco Garcia Calderon, noted writer and philosopher, will succeed Cornejo. Eleodoro Romero will remain as am- bassador to the Holy See. The government accepted the resig- nations of the minister to Spain, Eduardo Leguia, brother of the deposed president; Alejandro Puente, minister to Great Britain; Cesar Canevaro, min- | ister at Vienna, and Guillermo Swayne Mendoza, another relative of Leguia, minister at Brussels. The consular service also will be changed, with Maj. Alfredo Henriod appointed consul general at New York to succeed Dimetrio Correa Clavegoya, who has been appointed consul general at Hamburg instead of Rodolfo Rix- rath, Ismael Escurra will go to Paris as consul _general, succeeding Carlos Valverde, dismissed.

LONDON, September 1.—More than day a two months ago by leading bankers and industrialists, expansion of inter- empire trade even if taxes had to be !m_;g:ed on foreign foodstuffs. influential bankers who registered their collective opinion two months ago favored a protectionist solution for Britain’s present depression. ‘The group that now has replied finds “no reason to suppose the present de- pression can be remedicd by adding to the customs duties and thus diminish- ing foreign trade.” The document is signed among others by Viscount Grey of Fallodon, Lord Ash- ton of Hyde, Walter Runciman, L. S. Montagu, Sir Charles Hobhouse and Charles Addison. “The first need of British producers competing in the foreign markets,” it states, “is to secure a lowering of pro- duction costs. It would seem little short of suicidal to impose duties which would raise the prices of raw materials to us, as any stimulus afforded by protection extended to certain favored industries could not compensate for the disaster which would follow. “If Britain acted in the manner urged by the so-called bankers' mani- festo of some weeks ago a world-wide tariff war could be stimulated and there would be great danger of a breakdown of trade and credit.” THREE HURT IN AUTOS NEAR SILVER SPRING Unidentified Colored Man Proves | Hit-and-Run Driver in Series | of Crashes. By a Staft Correspondent of The Ster. EILVER SPRING, Md.. September 1. ~—Three persons were injured in traffic | accidents near here last night. The condition of none of them is serious. Mrs. Catherine Keller of 317 Aspen street, Washington, and her small daughter, Mildred, sustained cuts and bruises when the car in which they were riding, driven by ‘Chester H. Kel- ler of the Aspen street address, was in collision near White Oaks with a ma- chine driven by John T. Fulcher of the 1000 block of B street southwest, also of Washington. Mrs. Keller and the little girl were treated by Dr, W. R. Haynes of Silver Spring and then al- lowed to return home. The other accident occurred on the Olney Pike near the Olney Inn. Ac- cording to police, a car driven by an un- identified colored man struck the auto- mobile of Miss Eva Morry of 705 Eight- eenth ~strect, Washington, backed up and then continued on its way.

EASBY-SMITH ESCAPES By & Staft Corresponden of The Star. UPPER MARLBORO, Md., September 1.—Col. James S. Easby-Smith, Wash- ington attorney, and his family escaped serious injury when their automobile was thrown into a corn field after a his | lage of Rail Stocks BY GEORGE T. HUGHES. (This is the thirty-seventh of a series of brief analyses by Mr. Hughes on rail- road securities. The intent is mot to ommend the purchase or sale of any particular stock, but to give the vestor such information as may enable him intelligently to chart his own Southern Pacific. In March a year ago Southern Pa- | cific Co. offered to its shareholders | rights to subscribe to a new issue of convertible bonds carrying a_41 per cent coupon and maturing in 1969. The subscription price was 94 and the bonds carried non-detachable (until exercised) warrants entitling the bearer to pur- chase at any time on or before May 1, 1934, three shares of Southern Pacific common stock at $145 per share for each $1,000 bond. ‘These bonds which are an entirely sound investment sell as this is written around par to yield 4l per cent. Whether or not the stock subscription privilege will be of value depends on the course of earnings over the next three and one-half years. In the bull mar- ket of 1929 Southern Pacific sold at a high of 15772, but except for that year the shares have never been quoted as high as the price fixed in the warrants attached to these bonds. Southern Pacific pays an annual dividend on its stock of $6 a share and has paid that rate for 22 years. In this showing an investment rating is war- ranted regardless of temporary fluctu- ations in net income. During 1930 the road like the other carriers has suffered from the traffic slump, but it is now estimated on the basis of returns for the half-year that something between $8 and $9 a share will be earned for the stock hy the end of 1930. This is ample margin over dividend requirements and the strong financial position of the company would justify continuance of the regular disbursement even though earnings did not fully cover it. Recently the company applied to the Interstate Commerce Commission for authority to purchase the controlling interest in St. Louis Southwestern, al- though the latter road was assigned to the Illinois Central in the latest merger plan of the commission. If that bodv reverses itself in this respoct it will strengthen the position of Southern Pacific. Indm{ry Founded on a Freak. ‘The great citrus industry of Califor- nia includes the growing of grapefruit and lemons as well as that of oranges. Still the orang: laid the foundation for the whole business. _All told, the State has more than 197.500 acres planted with orange trees and most of these are of fruit-bearing age. ‘The annual crop fills more than 25000000 boxes and these require approximately 55.000 cars 12 move them hither and thither to their | far-flung markets, If we add to the foregoing acreage the areas covered with | ‘4mon and grapefruit trees we get an aggregate of 254,000 acres devoted to citrus-fruit_culture in California. Sub- stantially 200,000 of the State's popu- lation are gainfully employed in the industry. All this has come to pass because of a freak of nature that brought into being in the Brazilian vil- Bahia, a little over a century ago. an orange tres that de a limb sport bearing seedless oranges characterized by a peculiar external formation that won for them the appel- lation of navel oranges. Scots Hold Colorful Ball. More than 1,600 persons attended the Royal Caledonian Ball in Grosvenor House, London, recently. Nearly all the men were in Highland dress and tire blew out yesterday. The accident occured on the Marlboro Pike, about three miles from the county seat, and the car was tossed onto property owned by Lewis Moran, many of the women wore tartan sashes. The ball was opened with eight six- teen-some reels. Later 64 men and 64 ‘women danced set reels in the ice rink. NINE PERSONS HURT IN WEEK END ROWS Fights Land Combatants in| Hospitals, but No One Is Seriously Injured. Pights and petty rows sent nine per- sons to hospitals over the week end, ac- cording to reports made to the police. None was seriously hurt, however. Frank R. Myers, 17, of 1214 Montetlo avenue northeast, received a face wound, and Nathan Cross, colored, 26, of 1349 B street northeast, received a scalp wound in an altercation yesterday afternoon. Cross was charged with as- sault. The ] Casualty Hospital. George H. Davis, 68, of the Gospel Mission, was treated at the same hospital for lacerations re- ceived when he was struck over the head with an iron pipe in the hands of a colored man on Bladensburg road. James C. Thompson, colored, 30, of 1726 Fifteenth street, was stabbed in the right hip during a domestic row and was treated at Emergency Hospital. George Sterling, colored, 29, of 507 Florida avenue was given first aid at Freedmen'’s Hospital for a pistol wound in the leg. He refused to permit sur- geons to remove the lead slug. Minnie Floyd, 25, of 1805 Fourth street, and Mary Williams, 28, of 23 Fenton street northeast, were woman victims of week end rows. The Floyd woman was cut with a razor by a colored woman in her home and the Williams girls received a forehead wound in a fight with a colored man. ‘Thomas Strother, 610 Glick's alley, and Moses Craig of 609 N street, were treated at Freedmen's Hospital for knife wounds. Strother says he was stabbed in the neck by a colored woman, and Craig admitted being the loser in a battle with another colored man.

Island May Be Abandoned. Lanzarote, the most easterly of the Canary Islands, may be abandoned be- cause of the drought which has pre- vailed there for more than six years. No rain has fallen in that time, and all the water supply on the island has been 2xhausted. Many farmers are preparing to leave. Cereals and white wine are the chief products of Lanzarote, which | is said to have been named in honor of | Lancelot Malocello, who rediscovered it in 1270, and is one of the “islands of the blessed” of the ancient Greeks.

NEW YORK, Sébtember 1.—Anthony H. G. Fokker, airplane designer and | manutacturer, thinks the present con- ditions will result in greater business efficiency and prosperity in the future | than ever before. Mr. Fokker says the Watrus bill, which is “forcing airplane transporta- | tion units to merge,” will increase their | general efficiency, and in the long run | will create a larger volume of business, i | although the present effect will be to | 1imit immediate sales. “Stocks of completed airplanes are being moved regardless of cost,” Mr. Fokker told me. “By the Spring of 1931 today's surplus should be in the hands of the user, and the manufac- turer in position to resume production {on his latest types. The slump in buni- jness in general, and in the aviation industry in particular, will result in cleaning the industry of undesirable | elements—unsound financial manipula- tions, etc.—leaving the well founded aviation enterprise, with capable en- gineering stafls and experienced busi- | ness managements, to survive the pres- | ent depression and build up one of the biggest industries, devoted to transpor- tation.” One of the drawbacks in the aviation industry has been that in the last two years large quantities of inefficient and expensive airplanes have been built. ‘These must be disposed of at somewhere near their economic value before the manufacturers can resume their pro- duction, Asked fhen the upturn in business would take place, Mr. Fokker replied: “I believe that the general business situation is definitely on the upturn now.” Coal Mine Fatalities. Its a baffing problem—the job of eliminating coal mine fatalities. July reports, according to the Government, show a higher death rate per million | tons of coal produced than in June of the present year, or in July of last year. There were 143 men killed in "July of this year in American mines, or 19 more than in June, although 12 less than in July of a year ago. Coal production amounted to 40,373,~ 000 tons, representing an increase of 1,476,000 tons, as compared with June, | 1930, and a decline of 5,795,000 tons, as compared with July, 1929. Now during the first seven months of 1930, the Bureau of Mines reports that 1,132 lives were lost in accidents at the mines. This is 36 less than the number killed during the corresponding period last year, but the death rate per mil- lion tons went up to 3.71 this year as against 3.44 last year, owing to the fact that the output of coal fell off from 339,613,000 tons for the seven- month period a year ago to 304,799,000 [ ;q;r; for the same period of the present The Government puts it this way: The output of coal declined to 10 per cent, while the number of deaths de- clined only 3 per cent. Ever since coal mining has been an | industry, the number of deaths has continued to be a major problem with every owner and operator. Modern safely devices have been installed, shorter hours have been given to men, but the number of fatalities continue at an extremely high rate, Most Favorable Area. According to the latest issue of the Northwest Banccorporation’s Monthiy Review, an area “inclu parts of Southern Wisconsin, Southern Minne- sota, portions of North Central and Northeast Towa, Nebraska and the East- ern part of the Dakotas comprise the most favorable area in the United States at the present time.” ‘The Monthly Review, after saying that Southern Minnesota's crops are better than the average, that tg:y have not been hurt by the drought, and that Minnesota has not been touched severely, says: “While butter prices have been and still are 4 cents under last year and 8 cents under 1928, an advance of 7 cents in the last two months is be- lieved to mark the beginning of a gefi- | nitely sustained upturn.” The Northwest Bancorporation is one of the two large chains in the North- west, that owns and operates 100 banks extending~ from Minneapolis to the Pacific Coast, and as far South at Towa and Nebraska, (Copyright. 1930. by North American News- s o BAPCE Allinnce.)

FOR & BAINES CHARMING BLEND COFFEE At Your Grocer’s Capital and Labor Seeking Remedies For Unemployment Industrial Leaders Realize That Small Pay Rolls Mean Slack Business. BY J. C. ROYLE. Labor day finds employers and em- ployes closer to each other than they have been in years. They are being drawn together by ties of common danger, and nothing so tends to bring about accord. Industries and labor organizations alike are searching for remecdies for unemployment. Varlous plans to stabilize employment have been sug- gested by each, and some have been finally adopted, according to Ethelbert Stewart, commissioner of labor statistics. These efforts are not confined to this country, although in most other notion, May 1 is celebrated as Labor day in- stead of the first Monday in September. In nearly all cases the situation now confronting capital and labor has been the subject of governmental attention. At the recent session of Congress sev- ;rnl employment bills were enacted into aw. ‘Unemployment Situation. Many phases of the situation come within~ the regulatory powers of the States and many of the latter have given deep consideration to uncmploy- ment insurance and various relief measures, although none has yet made such insurance obligatory. In the meantime capital and labor are not waiting for Governmental action but are taking steps to solve their cwn difficulties. Industrial leaders have at last come to realize that when they release a number of workers from em- ployment, their own businesses suffer since men who cannot work cannot buy and when they cannot buy the pro- ducer cannot sell. No industry can continue long to make goods that it cannot sell. As a result of this attitude, a number of the railroad companies have adopted a shorter work week for a time so as not to throw employes out or reduce forces. Many of these agreements are for a limited time and were made with the expectation of a return to regular conditions when business improvement warrants it. Conferences are now in progress as to the course to be followed for the remainder of this year. As a measure of permanent stabiliza- tion of employment some of the rail- road crafts have drawn up programs which provide shorter weekly hours of work, fewer apprentices and a l:ngth- ening of apprenticeship, the gradual climination of helpers and vacations with pay. Pension Plan. ‘The General Electric Co. has an- nounced a new unemploym:nt pension plan and the company is following 1ts policy of continuing manufacture for stock of many lines and special ap- paratus in the hope of future sales. The plan provides that when business is increasing, working forces shall be in- creased as slowly as possible, workers shall be transferred from slack to busy departments and overtime work shall be stimulated while plant renewal and maintenance work shall be held up. ‘Then when business is slack, fewer rmg}oyu would have to be dispensed with. ‘The problem is fully as pressing in Canada as in the United States and a special session of the Canadian Parlia- ment has becn called to consider relief measures and labor stabilization. ‘Those considering the problem are taking into consideration not only the problems of the present depression but those that may follow the introduction of new and improved machinery which requires fewer workers to opernte, (Copyright, 1930.) @Gift to Town Expensive.

F. SAUL CO. B. National 2100 THERE IS NO BUSINESS IS QUIET IN FIFTH DISTRICT Federal Reserve Review In- dicates Seasonal Char- acter of Trade. By the Associated Press. RICHMOND, Va. September 1.—A picture of the economic situation in the 'th Federal reserve district was paint- ed today in the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond's monthly review of credit business and agricultural conditions. The fifth district embraces the States of West Virginia, Virginia, Mary- land, North Carolina and South Caro- lina and the District of Columbia. It is served by the Richmond bank. The outstanding development last month, the review said, was the “record drought in Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland and to a lesser degree in North and South Carolina.” “Business developments during the last month,” it was reported, ‘‘were mainly of a seafonal nature, but trade continued in smaller volume n a year ago.” Effect of Drought. “The full effects of the drought on business,” the report said, “may not be felt for some time, but the reduction in prospective yields of nearly all crops accompanying low prices for agricul- tural products will considerably curtail the purchasing power of the agricul- tural population. “The forecasts of cotton and tobacco . yields in the fifth district are higher this year than in 1929, due to material gains in the two Carolinas, but the price situation for both cotton and to- bacco is very discouraging.” Commercial failures in the district were more numerous than for the cor- responding month a year ago, the re- port said. They showed, however, the lowest aggregate liabilities for any July in the last seven years. No improvement was noted in em- ployment conditions in the five States, unemployment continuing to be more i:r:mive than at the same time a year Trade is Smaller. Construction under way in the dis- trict was reported considerably less this Summer than year ago, and both re- tail and wholesale trade in July smaller in volume than in July, 1929. “The textile industry,” the report sald, “shows no progress out of the de- pression in_ which it has operated for some time, but cotton consumption sta- tistics seem to indicate that conditions in fifth district mills are not quite as bad as in some other textile centers,” BODY TO BE RETURNED M.
