The report goes back to 1849 when

in value, and the wages paid amount
ed to s236, 755000. From this value
the products Of the American In
dustrics increased until in 1929 II
reached the peak of $88.000000 900.
while the total for wages went up to
$ll,221 10000 1t is apparent that
there was large increase In wages
paid but 1t did rot keep pace with the
increase in the value of the output of
our industries. II the same ratio was
maintained that existed In 1B49, the
wage earners should have received
$4,000 100000
BY putting too much money into
dividends, interest and reserve the
buying power of the wage earners Of
the country has been decreased in
1929 alone around $4,000. 100000. This
is becoming apparent, is what has
produced the depression and not over
production. There is plenty Of money
in the banks, but the industries dc
not want 1t as the buying power Of
the country is not keeping the in
dustries running at normal speed.

SVIT CHED WIFE.
AND IS'E|NED !.

WINCHESTER. va, July 80.
Ed Carter, living on the Wise.
acre farm, was fined .$10:25T in
the county magistrates court on
a charge Of assaulting his wife.
The husband and wife had
been having domestic troubles for
some time and under an order Of
the domestic relations court the
six children of the couple were
placed in the custody of the.
parents of the husband.
The specific case against Car
ter was for whipping his wife
with an apple switch, which he
admitted, but claimed. his wife
failed to cook his meals and had
whipped the children unneces-
sarily.
Justice Favenner said that
while the husband probably had
justification for switching his
spouse, the court, as a court,
could not countenance husbands
whipping wives and imposed q
fine of $10.25 on the husband,
and advised them both to go
their own separate ways in the
future.

LOBBY
H|TSEMBARGO

The attitude Of the Treasury
toward embargoes against Rus
sian imports, still somewhat
cloudy. may shortly be cleared
up by an authoritative declare.
ton Of policy, which appears at
variance with that Of Seymour
Lowman. Assistant Secretary in
charge Of customs.
President Hoover is known to
have taken the position that
whether America likes the Soviet
form Of government or not has
mo bearing on trade, and that
the anti-dumping and convict
labor clauses Of the tariff act
shall be invoked against any ma
ton whose exports to the United
States would be in violation Of
the act.
Lowman has charged Soviet
Russia with attempting to break
down Am e ri an distribution
through trade tactics which would
demoralize both American in.
dustry and labor. after Mathew
Vol, vice president Of the Amer
ican Federation Of Labor. at
tackled Russian commercial
methods as virtually amounting
to enforced labor, in a letter to
Lowman.
The published attitude Of the
Treasury today brought down on
Lowman the wrath Of the Peoples
Lobby.
This organization has asked
him t. investigate labor condi-
tons in Russian concessions held
by Secretary Mellon, Rockefeller,
and the Anaconda Copper Com.
