Senator Cspper Announces
Fight at Next Session for
Restoration Of Powers OF

From The Trtaanes Washington sereou

from TIE Trfbmne's WaShiaefon Rereau
WASHINGTON. Sept. 80. Senator
Napper, of Kansas, has come out in a
statement in which he declares that
freight rates must be reduced. He
serves notice that the agricultural bloc,
OF which he is the head, will urge
legislation Mt the December sess.oa to
repeal Section l5-A of the Cummio.
Esch transportation act This is the
rate making section. Senator Capper
also wants the powers of the state
commissions restored.
Senator Capper has bill pending
before the Senate Interstate Com,
merce Committee which would repeal
the rate-making provisions of the
transportation act and restore the
powers of the state commissions. The
committee did not report the bill and
was known to be opposed to it. SEN
ator Capper makes it plain that the
effort to force it to passage will be
renewed in the next regular session.
Not only will there be activity in
the Senate in the attempt to change
the transportation act so as to bring
rates downward, but the farm blo< in
the House is also making plans to the
same end. Representative Dickinson,
chairman of the agricultural bloc in
the House, already has declared in
favor OF changing the law and has
held various informal conferences
with view to stirring up the issue.

The cotton crop has suffered severe
damage from boil waevils and tron,
drought. Ginnings prior to september
were much larger than in either leoo

crop have been much reduced. but taa
prospects for spring wheat have can
siderabiy improved. The grain crons
are being marketed more slowly than
last year, except in the case oil rye.
Wholesale trade improved substanti-

has also been slight decline in ASH

Manufacturing Picks Up Again
Manufacturing was slightly curtailed

Sspteniber Iron furnaces and steel
mills are increasing their rate Of pro-
.aucfion to satisfy the continued large
demand of railroads and automobile
companies. The market for nonferrous
metals continues reasonably strong and
reflects further increase in mine out
cut Of copper and lead. Cotton mills
and knit good factories have increased
their output and WOODEN machinery is
slightly more active, while August silk
consumption was the largest for any
month since 1919 The continued build
ing activity has resulted in an i'm
proved demand for lumber, cement and
other building materials. Petroleum
consumption has increased due to the
shortage Of other fuel, but stocks con-
tinue to accumulate.
The volume of employment has in
creased in September in consequence of
the return to work of several hundred
thousand coal miners, railroad shop
men and textile workers. The period
from August Is to September 15, more
over, contained by far the largest num-
Der of wage increases reported in any
month since the decline Of business
activity in 1920. The most important
Increases occurred at copper mines,
steel mills, cotton mills and in the
building industry. Unskilled or semi
skilled workers received most of these
advances.
