Ethelbert Stewart, former commis- sioner ot labor statistics of the Labor Department and long considered the foremost labor analyst in the United States, died today of a heart attack at his home, 1210 Delafield place. He was 79 years old. Stewart retired from the ZLabor Department on July 1, 1932, after 45 years of continuous Government serv- ice. He insisted he n2d been “eased retary of Labor, over an interpreta- his commission still 2ud more than & year to run. ‘The trouble was reported to have had its inception early in 1932, when Secretary Doak, in a conference with newspaper men, announced, from data supplied him by an aid, that em- ployment throughout the United States was increasing. The newspaper men went direct to Stewart to discuss the announcement. Stewart, according to those present, telephoned Secretary Doak and in- | formed him his statistics did not war- | rant such an announcement. Secre- tary Doak, it was said, then called the newspaper men back to his office | and requested them to disregard the | announcement. He, however, invited them to be present at a conference | later in the day between himself and Mr. Stewart. The conference was held in the Secretary's office and Mr. Stewart was rebuked by the Secretary in the presence of the newspaper men. Cited His Commission. Mr. Stewart later refused to discuss the matter directly. He pointed to & framed commission bearing the signature of President Hoover stat- ing Stewart's appointment was good until December 19, 1933. “All I will saf is that I had a con- tract with the Government and it has been broken,” Mr. Stewart said. He also objected to a statement that he had been retired, saying: “Please don't put it that way. It is not a proper word. Please say for me: ‘I have had a tin can tied to the end | of my coat tail."” “I still have a lot of pay dirt left in | me, and I have a number of matters left in my sleeve,” Mr. Stewart said | as he relinquished office. “I'm a long way from being through.” Mr. Stewart first became connected with the old Bureau of Labor in 1887 as a field investigator. Two years later he was made a special agent. In | 1911 he went to Europe for the Tariff | Board to report on the cost of woolen goods production and, returning to | this country, was made chief statis- | tician for the Children's Bureau, where | he served in 1912-13.

He believes that the establishment of political contacts and the building up of an elaborate machinery for the maintenance of peace, important and praiseworthy as they are, will never be entirely successful unless accom- panied by & corresponding considera- tion, and eventual solution, of the problems of economic security. Son of President Guachalla, Dr. Guachalla, although he is still in his late thirties, had wide experi- ence in the fleld of international re- lations. He was at one time professor of international law at the Univer- sity of La Paz, and later served in diplomatic capacities and as minister | of foreign affairs.

Great Hope in Confidence. “All Latin America,” said Dr. Gua- challa, “has followed eagerly and with justified approval the progress of President Roosevelt’s good neighbor policy and Secretary Hull's program of commercial reciprocity, on which is founded what has been appropriately called the new pan-Americanism, Having already been convinced of the sincerity of purpose and the possi- bilities of these new policies, the gov- ernments of the Latin American re- publics are placing great expectations on the Buenos Aires conference. “If the good neighbor spirit is con- omen’s Olty | Per cent of the societies operate Te- ursdsy he will make | tail stores, while §6 per cent are prie AN OUT-OF-DATE WILL Can do curious things It can make bequests to persons no longer alive.
