Former Executive Promises Ad-
ministration Like Last One
if Elected

Strong expressions OF approval and
pledges OF support greeted the an
nouncement OF former Gov. Chase s.
Osborn, Friday morning. that he
would be candidate for the Repuh-
lican nomination for governor. Incl.
dentally, inside politicians became
communicative on the views of close
political watchers in high office, as
TO the former governors chances OF
securing the nomination.
For instance, one man who is in
intimate touch with Senator William
Alden Smith declared that the senator
had told him that If Chase Osborn
announced his candidacy, he would
carry the western part of the state
beyond question. The attitude OF the
western counties for Osborn is fur
ther evidenced by the fact that Lieut.
Gov. John q. Ross has declared for
the 500 man--and everyone knows
that Ross is an astnte political oD-
server, not used TO making mistakes.

beck man, admitted, Friday, tnat Os-

that Michigan obtained the woI Amen's
compensation act said Mr. Tobin.
Furthermore, II was the appoint

that act that contributed so vastly
to- its success. The governor kept
the administration OF the law out OF
the hands OF lawyers, and gave IL TO
men interested in the rights of labor.
The result has been that the indus

OF doubt, has decided in favor OF the
laborer. and has left II TO the more
able employer to carry the case TO

 BILL REPORT TODAY Conference Committee On Trades Commission Bill
 Reacbes Agreement

washington, September 3-Completion or the administration antitrust legislative programme was advanced a step toda, when the conference committee on the federal trade commission bill reached an agreement. The conference report will be submitted in both houses tomorrow
 Although the conference rewrote many sections relating to the organization of the new commission, the changes were largely matters of 3nraseology. Prin- cipal changes relate to the provisions for court review, appeals from decrees of the commission to be made direct to the court of appeals, from which there can De no appeal only upon writ of certiorar; to the supreme court
 Prohibition of 'unfair methods of com petition is substituted for unfair com petition by the conferees who made no attempt to define what constitutes such unfair methods
 Wide divergence of views of the dis trict courts in patent cases was the argu- ment which led to the determination 70 provide for review in the court of ap- peals direct. Danger of conflict. 1t is argued thus would be greatly reduced, there being only eight circuit courts of appeals, while there are 50 district courts.
 The Clayton antitrust oll, passed yes terday by the Senate. went to conference today. An agreement on this measure VIII complete the programme.

ShoemakinR in America

From Primer of Boots and Shoes.
 Thomas Beard. arriving by the May flower in 1929. was the first shoemaker to come from England to America. He settled at Salem. Mass.
 More than 350.000.000 Is now in- vested in American shoemaking and more than 100000 wage earners are employed
 Before 1850 practically every shoe- niakfng process was a hand process.
 Lynn. Mass. with over 100 factories. Is the leading shoe city in the world.
 or the worlds boots and shoes, more than 4T per cent are made in Massa- chusetts.
 John Brooks Nichols of Lynn adapted the Howe sewing machine to sew the uppers of shoes in I g6l, and this was the first important step in the applica- ton of machinery to shoemaking.
 William F. Trowbridge at Feltonville, now a part of Marlborough. Mass, ap- piled horsepower to the shoemaking machinery of 1855. Steam and water power came later.
 The poet whittier was a shoemaker in his youth. Henry Wilson. eighteenth vice president of the United States. was "the Natick cobbler." and was always proud of his shoemaking days.
 Ebenezer Breed, of Lynn. is credited with securing by personal influence the first protective tariff on shoes. He was a merchant of revolutionary times.
 August Destouy, New York me- chanic, invented in 1909 the first curvad net de to sew turn shoes.

New York. September 3-The meetfna of the New York exchange members helG here today to receive the report of the international conference unanimously ap- proved the plan suggested for the settle ment of the straddle interest and con tinued the committee for the purpose of working out the details of the liquidation.
 In certain quarters there appeared to be some disappointment that the conn mittee had found it iInpractcable to ar range for the immediate liquidation Of the interest in bulk, and apprehensions were expressed that, if Ihe closing out Of the straddles were dependent upon sales from the Liverpool stock, consd- erable time would be required to com plete the operation.
 It was reported, however, that the British government had given the Lam cashire mills some large cloth orders. and that in the absence of fresh i'm portations. the Liverpool stock soon would begin to move out more rapidly.
