ducing generally the force Of work.
ers in the industry here, is in effect
that public buying of tires this sea-
son did not show an increase above
normal.
Manufacturers, commenting on the
business outlook, view the present as
the low period of production and eX-
pect gains to be forthcoming in the
next few months when financial
conditions are expected to improve.
Expansion of plants has continued in
past Anonths and the factories will
be prepared to resume greater pro-
duction promptly.
1t is estimated 10000 workers in
the rubber industry are now unem-
ployed. Many have returned to the
farms they left to gain the higher
wages.
Increased efficiency is reported on
the part Of remaining workers, most
of whom have been longer in the in
dustry. The present employment
condition Is reflected in the housing
situation, where, for the first time
in years, rent signs are appearing in
number. Some rubber workers are
leaving for other Industrial centers.
In other districts directly allied
with the Akron rubber industry there
has been some recession in the wage
rate, a company in the Youngstown
district having taken such action.
Liquidation of stocks, however, has
not brought price reductions in any
of the producing districts.

BY Associated Press.
Columbus, O., Aug. 17.-Senator
Harding, the republican presidential
candidate, today was again attacked
as "reactionary" by Governor Cox,
his democratic opponent.
In addressing the Ohio democratic
convention, opening the local DEM
ocracy's campaign, and laying down
his state leadership, Governor Cox
reviewed the contest he had in 1912
when he supported and Senator
Harding opposed the new Ohio con-.
stitution.
1T has been in considerable de-
gree" said Governor Cox, made the
base upon which the presidential
contest is being fought this year, for
the reason that the issue is now, as
in the past, between progress and re-s
action. More than five candidates
from the two parties were taken from
our states and both candidates have
been participants in the public af-
fairs of this commonwealth since
1912. In consequence OF this, tho
record in Ohio bears direct relation
to the national campaign this year.
Performance, after all, is the test.

Governor Cox cited statement by
Senator Harding, after adoption of
the new state constitution, that it
meant Socialism and revolution"
AT every bend Of the road" said
Governor Cox, 1--WE found him aligned
with the opposition" The opponents,
Governor Cox said, also We're aided
by paid lobbyists" and moneyed in
terests.
ITO his credit" Governor Cox con-
tinued, 'ft must be stated that he
believed that he was right. He mis-
took the spirit of the whole move
ment. 1t was an orderly process OF
evolution. He designated it as So
cialism. "The point, however," Gov
crnor Cox declared, 'is that he still
believes in reaction and I still believe
in progress"
Governor Cox detailed numerous
reforms which, he said, had resulted
from the new constitution, such as
the workmen's compensation law, re-.
duction of lawsuits. protection of the
| ballot. rural school progress, moth.
ers' pensions and prison reform
