WORK IN HARVEST
FIELDS is STARTED
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Gpeclal Dlspatcn 10 The star.
NEW YORK, June 3.-Work in the
harvest fields in some sections of the
Southwest started today. This type Of
work will take care of over 100000
workers from now until November as
the harvest works northward.
Work in industrial plants is progress
ing at top speed with undiminished paw
rolls, but machinery. workers and en-
ployers have long strides to make until
each attains the efficiency which will
not only provide present employment,
but will insure against future lack OF
jobs
Much OF the present-day prosperity,
according to industrial and economic
experts questioned today, is due to the
cutting of costs. This Is not likely to
proceed much further In the immediate
future. In fact, some increase in costs
Is anticipated by the efficiency experts,
because. they say, 1t is often the case
when costs ARE cut to the bone" that
the cutters find they have cut too deep
and nicked the bone and must do a
little healing instead of more cutting.
Reduction Of costs through lower wage
scales Is highly improbable Even If the
workers would consent, few employers
In industrial fields. except the men of
the older type, want to cut wages. They
greatly prefer to have their employees in
8 position to be customers as we'll as
workers and to have them increase their
oeslres and living requirements rather
than have them reduce these.
There is still room, however, for fur.
ther margins OF profit by reduction of
costs through efficiency of men. man.

and many industries.

NEW YORK, June 3.-Prices ralleio
moderately on the Curb Exchange to-
day under short covering, influenced tc
. large extent by evidence that liquida'
ton was abating.
The movement of prices, nevertheless
was extremely mixed and there was no
inclination except on the part Of pro-
feSsionals to take on new commitments,
with the outlook still very much con-
fused.
Utilities in Demand.
The opening was slightly higher.
Electric power and light stocks made
the best showing again, several attain
ing new highs before realizing set in.
Allied Power & Light, American Super

Central States Electric and Electric
Bond & Share did particularly well, the
last named climbing almost 4 points,
well across 100 again. Subsequently
bad break in Southeastern Power ad-
versely affected the confidence of hold
ers and there was a general increase
in offerings and cancellation Of the
gains. Special buying was witnessed in
Northern States Power A, which rose
points.
Recovery was most vigorous in shares
last week on the break in wheat prices.
Urgent short covering following the
abrupt rise in that commodity sent
Deere a. Co. on a perpendicular ad-
vance of 20 points and also gave bet
ter undertone TO other issues which

the aviation group, although Western

and Consolidated Aircraft e. Aviation
Credit, in addition to one or two Of
the low-priced issues, held steadier
than in several sessions. Fokker was
lower all morning.
Heavy trading was again witnessed
in Arkansas Natural Gas which made
a new high following an offering of
additional common. United Gas, in |
fiuenced by news of the sale Of new |
stock at $40 a share in the ratio of |
one for five owned, involving rights |

WHEAT CLOSES HIGHER.

CHICAGO. June 8 (P.-Wheat prices
shot straight toward the zenith today,
making vertical rise of nearly 8 cents
a bushel, and holding more than half
the gain. Urgency of buying was of
degree rarely equaled, and the effect was
intensified by a remarkable scarcity of
offerings. Washington reports which
were circulated that $100, 5000 would
be available at once for Government ac-
ton to lift the wheat market was the
chief source of the rush to buy. Profit
taking sales on the advance were mainly
responsible for the reaction from the
peak prices.

|LOUGHRAN FACING
WEIGHT PROBLEM
Task to Make Light-Heavy
Limit, Too Light for
" Big Fellows.
By JOHN J. ROMANO.

NEW YORK, July e.-Tommy Ioukh-
ran has buckled down to hard work for
HIS fight with James j. Braddeck on
July 1s. The contest will be over the
championship route. Is rounds, and
this, with other things, Is being con-
sidered as one of the reasons Tommy
has swung into training so soon.
A clean liver and moderate In every
thing he does, Loughran ordinarily does
not need the amount of work to At
himself for a night that other fighters
need. II Is public belief that the light
heavyweight champion has found 1t
hard during the past year to white
his weight down to the class limit and
has done his best fighting around the
1S2-pound mark. This is true.
Check this over. For the past 18
months Tommy has just skinned under
the 175-pound bar-that is, when he
was fighting for the right to be con-
sidered the runner-up for the title and
in defense of his crown after he won It.
But to say that Loughran weighed
1854 pounds for Ernie Schaaf in Bos-
ton last month is stretching the truth.
Allow few pounds for street shoes and
underwear and one finds that 1872
pounds would be nearer the actual
weight.
Another thing. For the Armand
Emanuel fight in Los Angeles last Feb
ruary Joughran did no road work con-
filming his road jauntS to walks around
Westlake Park. He worked out without
jersey in the gym and the work was
devoid Of anything resembling sweat
producing exercise. He boxed six rounds
daily, something he had to do. as he
was pitted against fast boxer, and
when II came time to weigh In Tommy
tilted the beam at 1928 pounds.
This is proof enough that the light
heavyweight champion really is having
a hard time packing on sufhcient weight
to cause the fans to accept him as a
scale down to ITS pounds and retain his
full strength. A fighter does not tempt
fate by. Swimming under a specified
weight for q solid year or more unless
the figure is one requiring effort on
bis part.
Braddock is one OF the best men the
champion has faced and making the
weight is more important than the sort
Of fight Tommy will make. Loughran's
early arrival in 4 training camp is not
alone due to the fact that he requires
hard work to prepare himself for a
vigorous defense of his title, but rather
to 4 desire to pare down poundage
gradually, retain his strength so that
he can lay of the pace IN the early
rounds and then come on for q rousing
finish.
Loughran is known for the stretch
runs he has made in the past. Appar-
entity beaten on points In the early part
of fight, Tommy has come on TO nose
out his opponent In D driving charge
down the homestretch.

HITTING is HEAVIER
IN MAJOR LEAGUES

Batting is now q little heavier IN both
major base ball leagues than 1t was last
season.
In 1929 the National League made
i1,e01 hits. This year to date the Ma
tional League is going at the rate Of
about 1880 hits for The season, which
would be about 100 more than were
made last year
The estimated figures for this season
are based. of course, on the work al
ready done. This was In games in
which the green pitchers are expected
to be less effective and the green bat
tiers more effective.
In the American League total Of
1881 hits were made In 1928. This
year the estimated total Is 1000, based
On the present results.
The American League did not bat
quite as freely in 1928 as the National
League, and it Is apparent NOW that it
will not bat quite as freely this year.
That may be on account OF better pitch
ing or weaker batters. but the difference
S so small that It doesn't matter much.
