lowing message from his home
at Warm Springs, Ca:

sent to be . candidate. in fair
ness to my family and myself"
Great enthusiasm greeted the
presentation of Mr.. Roosevelt's
name to the convention by May.
or James ]. Walker Of New
York. who made the nominating
speech.
Mayor Walker said Mr..
Roosevelt had many of the same
characteristics % Governor
Smith. and would give the state
an honest, fearless administra.
tiOn.
Rochester, N. Y, Oct. 2.-(R-
The clouds Of uncertainty that have
hung over the Democratic State con.
vention were dispelled today with the
result that the final session today
meant nothing more than a ratifica-
tion meeting for Franklin D. Roose-
velt as the nominee for governor.
Decision Of the party leaders to
name the former assistant secretary
Of the navy, candidate for the vice
presidency in 1920, was made early
today after the third of a series of
conferences with Governor Smith.
The delegates had been holding cff
on the man to head the ticket. in
Difference to the governor wishes.
While he had frequently said the
convention would be an open one
and that he would not pick the cam
didate, the leaders did not feel like
going ahead until they had consult
ed with him.
Selection of Mr.. Roosevelt came
something as a surprise, for only
yesterday. shortly after he had ar
rived here from his western tour,
Governor Smith made public tele-
gram from him saying that he could
not run on account Of his health.
Mr.. Roosevelt had been urged many
times to enter the race but each
time he refused. He has been suf-
fering from infantile paralysis for
several years and is at present in
the south for the benefit Of his
health.
There has been . warm attach
ment between the governor and Mr..
Roosevelt for many years. It was
Roosevelt who nominated Smith for
the presidency 1t Madison Square
Garden and at Houston.
The announcement Of his selec.
tion was made about one o'clock this
The governor, after his
speech before the convention last
night, called the leaders into his
suite at the Hotel Seneca for the
third OF . series Of conferences dur
ing the day. After IN hour and .
half behind closed doors, M. William
Bray OF Utica, the new state chair
man, came from the conference room
and said:
"There seems to be . unanimous
demand from the delegates to this
for Mr.. Roosevelt"
He did not directly answer . uues-
tion as to whether Mr.. Roosevelt
would consent to make the run, say
ing that this point would be cleared
up 1T the convention.

LEVEL OF WAGES
Reported Highest Since
Year 1920

New York City q. L. N. Sac
cording to report by the National
Industrial Conference Board, an en-
ployers' organization, incomes of in
dustrial wage earners in the United
States this fall reached their high
est level since 1920, while employment
in manufacturing attained it's high
est point since April, 1927.
The boards figures, based on re-
ports from approximately 1,500 man.
Iufacturing establishments employing
about 100000 workers in 25 different
industries, indicated that in Septem-
ber weekly and hourly earnings per
worker showed an increase in 18 in
dustries with an average increase in
weekly earnings, in the 25 reporting
industries, of 41 cents over the Au-
gust figures.
The report showed per cent more
workers employed than at the low
point in November, 1927, and the
number of hours worked increased by
1913 per cent. There was a lesser
gain in each case over August, 1928.
The outstanding phenomenon in the
labor situation, the board reported, is
'the marked stability of wage rates
and earnings, which since 1923 have
| fiuctuated less than S per cent and
during hte current year have shown
a slightly inclining trend"

RAIL EFFICIENCY
BOOSTS PROFITS

Washington. - Railroad employees
do not benefit by greater efficiency
on the transportation systems.
High-power locomotives, larger
cars and longer trains, operating with
fewer employees, is resulting in more
profits, but employees do not share
in these gains. They are told that
"higher wages would mean higher
freight and passenger rates, which
the public will oppose"
Increase in profits is indicated sby
the bureau Of railroad economics,
which shows that for the first nine
months Of this year the railroads re-
ported net earnings of $819, 1854, 900 as
compared With $8O9,958, 900 in the
same period last year.

AfLation No Mystery Field Regarded Best Derby History
A. A. U. YET TO RULE
ON PADDOCK CASE
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. May 16.-With Charlie
Paddocks amateur status cleared by
announcement of the American Olympic
committee, track followers today con-
tinued to wonder whether the fastest
human" would heed the advice of the
committee to return to Los Angeles for
the sectional Olympic try-outs. He had
planned to remain in the East for both
the sectional and the final trials.
While Paddock himself made no
comment on the case, his friends be-
lieved he would return to his home
city, where a sort of century of the
century" is planned between him and
Charlie Borah of the University of
Southern California, Paddocks alma
mater. This feature is counted upon
to aid Los Angeles in raising Its $4,000
Olympic quota.
The A. A. U. now Is considering the
case. Observers pointed out that since
Paddock Is not yet member of the
Olympic team the question Of his
amateur status really was in A. A. u.
Jurisdiction and not within that of the
Olympic committee, but the same per-
son inclined to the belief that the A.
A. U. also would clear the sprinter.
