He expected that the pact would end the strike of 75,- 000 miners. Eighteen hundred steel workers slept on hastily rigged cots in the giant Carnegie steel company plant at Clairton, Pa., while 3,- 000 coal miners outside clamored for the steel workers to join the “holiday.” Tear gas was used to force three truckloads of min. ers away from the company e trance. Henry Ford remained silent as labor troubles mounted ¢n — his scattered assembly plants. Many other strikes are still in progress. |MONSALVATGE IN | FOR RE-ELECTION ON COUNCIL BODY ANNOUNCES CANDIDACY FOR POSITION TO BE VOTED ON vote in the prohibition repeal elec- tion to be held on October 10.

With the added 75 qualified since that time, the list now numbers 5,025, who can vote on the question of prohibition rée- peal. The ticket on this issue, recently sent out by the secretary of state, shows a total of 176 names. Of these, 67, known as Group A, are }for repeal.

Construction A Keystone The construction industry has such a bearing on the welfare of other industries that especial im- portance has been attached to ef- forts to put it under a code. Per- haps no industry was harder hit by the depression. As one NRA official has express- it, no other major industry of this size suffers such fluctuations of activity. In regular five year intervals, since 1900, he points out, the industry has paid alter- nately very high and then starva- tion wages. This has had the ef- fect of unsettling other business- » he says. At any rate, when the public hearings on the proposed code ended and differences were being | adjusted in private, one guess was as good as another as to what fi- nally would emerge. Not All Easy Going No better illustration is af- forded of the complex situation | than that presented in the gigantic public works program which is be-| ing pushed into action. There is $3,300,000,000 to be made avail- able in this tremendous project toward recovery. Yet, construction lags. All sorts of difficulties beset its path. Contractors have attempted to avoid bonding while others have attempted to eliminate competitive bidding. In other instances com- munities have shown a reluctance to make what they believe to be uneconomic expenditures. Some of the well informed are frankly skeptical that an adequate and workable construction code} >| stroyers Semmes, perfect weather, they had easy sailing. 5 They drifted only 24 kilo- meters from a straight line upward, and they messaged after two hours and 19 min- utes they had bested Pic- card's record and were still om ee Sears: Lee (ONE COAST GUARD VESSEL TO LEAVE TOMORROW NIGHT DESTROYER WAINWRIGHT GOES TO NAVAL DOCK FOR OIL; TWO SHIPS’ CREWS TO RECEIVE PAY TOMORROW The Coast Wainwright left her berth at the | Porter Dock this | Guard Destroyer morning and went over to the atation dock for oil.
