AVERAGE LABOR EARNINGS HIGHER Agriculture Department Re- ports Greater Purchasing Power. BY the Assoclated Press. ‘The Agriculture Department yester- day asserted that “average earnings of 15,100,000 employed workers” would give them “greater purchasing power” for food and “all items of living costs™ this year tham last. This conclusion was reported in a survey made for Secretary Wallace by Louis H. Bean, economic advisor of the Agricultural Adjustment Administra- tion. He said that average earnings of em- ployed workers had advanced more this year, compared with last, than prices of food and other costs of living. “The greater increase in earnings hds given the average employed worker a 1.6 per cent greater purchasing power for food and a 29 per cent greater purchasing power for all items of living costs,” Bean said. Compared with 1929, Bean said the average employed workers could get 8.2 per cent more food and 3.9 per cent more of all living cost items with his “average earning power” this year. Bean said the survey included per- sons employed in manufacturing, mining, trade, service and communi- cation, utility and transportation in- dustries, or about half the employed | * population of the country, excluding, agriculture. These industries were said to have employed 18,600,000 workers in 1929; 12,800,000 in 1933, and 15,100,000 this year. Landon (Continued From First Page.) his audience, told reporters after his conference with Landon that he liked the Kansan “very much,” because “he is very clear-headed, very much to the point, and very sensible.” The former Goverpor of New York will conclude his speaking campaign in behalf of Landon at Albany Sat- urday night, while Landon is conclud- ing his 20,000-mile drive in St. Louis Did Not Discuss “Issues.” Landon and Smith both grinned broadly as they posed for pictures after their private conference, in which, Smith said, they did not dis- cuss “issues or policies.” The nominee wore a dark business suit, while Smith was dressed in cut- away coat and striped trousers. Before going to Madison Square Garden the candidate arranged to speak at 5:45 pm. (Eastern standard time) under the auspices of a foreign language group. The speech was to be broadcast locally. Landon will leave shortly after midnight for St. Louis, for his Satur- day night address, by way of Charles- ton, W. Va. Mrs. Landon will join the nominee at St. Louis for the return to Topeka. The Kansas Governor reached New York late yesterday after an address in Newark, N. J, where he said labor’s right to organize and bargain collectively “needs to be emphasized ®nd applied.” “When elected,” he said, he would enforce “Federal laws for the protection of the workers.” The Kansas Governor, who retired early, stole a march on his aides early this morning by taking a before- breakfast stroll of 10 blocks, accom- panied only by a New York City plaincothesman detailed to guard his, suite, Lincoln (Continued From First Page.) campaign, this pay roll tax issue seems to be fixing itself in the peo- ple’s minds as none of the other issues have done. It may be the issue on which the election itself will swinhg in many States of the Union. Connecticut has been a Republican Btate for years. Even'in 1932, it with- stood the Democratic landslide and turned over its eight electoral votes to Herbert Hoover. The Hoover mar- gin of victory was narrow, only a Jjtile more than 7,000 votes. How- ver, it was there. Today the Re- publicans are counting on carrying the State by 25000 to 30,000 votes for Landon. This is given as their bed rock figure. For publicity pur- poses they have been claiming the State 50,000 or more. The Democrats, on the other hand, have been greatly encouraged by the outpouring of people to see President Roosevelt when he went through the State recently. Such crowds, they insist, must mean something. More than 100,000 people turned out to see the President when he came here for a few minutes’ speech on the green, they say. Connecticut industries are hum- ming and business far better than a year ago.- These conditions, the Dem- Politics on the Air Schedule is subject to last-min- ute change. TONIGHT.

P’:’nnnln furnished your physi- ocrats insist, are making votes for Roosevelt. They probably are. The question is whether the votes will be enough. One dominant Republican figure, Henry Roraback, State chairman and, national committeeman, is absent from the picture in this campaign. Mr. Roraback has not been in good health, and that is the explanation given. His lieutenants are handling the campaign and are very active. Roraback astonished the Republicans of the State, as well as the Democrats, when he made complimentary re- marks about the Democratic Gover= nor, Wilbur L. Cross, at the Republi- can State Convention and went to the Democratic Convention to do likewise. Cross, a former member of the Yale faculty, has many friends, including " Republicans. He is serv- ing his fourth term as Governor and, is 73 years old. Cross is regarded by the Democrats as their ace in the hole. They hope to re-elect him, and that because of his popularity he will help the Rogse- velt ticket. In past years the Demo- crats have had terrible intrsdparty remarkably peaceful this year and working well together. Father Coughlin's candidate, Lemke, is on the ballot in Connecticut. He, too, is a worry to the Democrats. They say that Coughlin has lost ground greatly with his followers in the State, and they do not believe that Lemke will have more than 15,000 votes and are inclined to believe that the Lamke vote will be less than that. If Lemke gets 15,000 votes in the State, it will help to swell the Republican lead by the simple means of taking votes away from Roosevelt. Coughlin was in the State last night carrying the fight against Roosevelt. | The Republicans have nominated for ernor Arthur M, Brown, who has' been State's attorney. He won the nomination over former Republi- Aan Leader of the House John Q. Tillson. Tillson, who hails from New Haven is working hard for Republi- can victory, nevertheless, both at headquarters in New York and in Connecticut. Tillson might have proved a stronger candidate, but Roraback turned thumbs down on him. Connecticut has two Democr: rows in Connecticut.

Of the six Connecticut members of the House, four are Democrats and two Republicans. There is. no senatorial election this year. The Republicans, however, are sure of picking up at least two House seats. If Landon goes over well, the Representative-at-Large —Connecticut has one—may well be & Republican. And in the Third dis- trict, which includes New Haven, the Republican candidate, John F. Lynch, is making a strong bid for election against Representative Shanley.
