A . F.OFL FORESEES GOODFALL PTLRN. Wages Must Go Up if U. S.| Is to Hold Recovery Gains, It Says. By the Assoclated Press. Warning that labor must be “cut|: in” on the gains, the American Fed- eration of Labor yesterday forecast the best business Autumn since 1930.4 “After a five-months' waiting period, business was started strcugly | upward again,” the survey said. “Prospects for the remaining months of 1935 are brighter for the business executive; prospective gains |* in business must be shared with work- ers in the form of jobs and wage increases if we are to have a balanced and permanent recovery. - “The last four months of 1935 may well bring the highest level of indus- trial operations and earnings for any similar period since 1930. Upswing Held Healthy. “The present upswing is the “healthiest thus far; it is the first not @ue to Goverament spending or cur- rency action, the first which seems | due chiefly to inherent economic strength. “Dividend payments in August ex- ceeded last year by $11,000,000, or 4 per cent; the steel industry is out of | the red for the first time since 1930. “With these signs of increased .a- dustrial earnings, much depends on the workers making a new drive now Jor higher income.” A revival of the lagging heavy in- dustries, the survey said, should mean more jobs where unemployment has ‘been particularly severe. Vehicle Orders Up. Farm machinery orders were re- ported up 75 per cent the first half of the year. Auto sales increased by 899,000 cars. Machine tool orders were up 47 per cent. Reports showed the auto industry was spending $100.- 000,000 on new production equipment, and the steel industry, $130,000,000. Nevertheless, the federation found that 11,000,000 workers stili were unemployed. BROTHERS SAVE MAN AT BRINK OF NIAGARA By the Associated Press. NIAGARA FALLS, N. Y., Septem- ber 9.—Snatched from the brink of the American falls by two Erie, Pa., brothers, Battiste Sechi. 46, a paper worker, was in a hospital today recov- ering from shock. Chief Tracey G.:Levee of the State reservation police said Andrew and John Beskorski of Erie told him they saw Sechi throw himself in the river about 7:30 a.m. Horror stricken, they saw him swept toward the precipice by the current. At the brink, where the flow was only 3 or 4 inches deep, they said, Bechi was left stranded with one foot | dangling over the edge. Chief Levee said the Beskorskis told ‘him they cautiously walked out 8 feet from Prospect Point, threw a rope | around the man and hauled him ashore.

Through the ages, man was of necessity compelled to cook with flame. It is only within a short span of years that science has made it possible to cook with electricity. Just as electricity has done away with flame for lighting, 80 has it replaced flame in the modern American home for cooking. The reasons are obvious. There is no soot, no smoke and no odor. Cleanliness, safety and better health are assured. Furthermore, Electric Cookery is truly modem because it affords completely automatic control of any selected tem- perature and time required in the cooking process. “Truly modern”’ meansalsothatthe cost of operation - must be economical. Here again, Electric Cookery is outstanding. In Washington and vicinity the cost of electricity for cooking is no more than that of the . old fashioned fuels. In many homes it costs even less. With these advantages and many others, why put off installing Electric Cookery in your home? - THE ELECTRIC INSTITUTE ad PEPCO BLDG. IOTH & E STS.N.W.
