BUSINESS BETTER
IN THIRD DISTRICT
Signs of Improvement Follow
Months Decline Reported
in Philadelphia Area.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

SpeCldl DlSpaLCn TO Inc star.
PHILADELPHIA, March 8-Business
activity in the Philadelphia Federal Re-
serve district as whole declined further
in January, but since then there have
appeared some signs of seasonal i'm
prove in industrial output and in the
distribution of commodities
Analysis of the information available
shows that the rate of manufacturing
activity is turning slightly upward after
a severe decline from the peak of last
year, reached in october. This is espe-
cially true of certain primary and sec
ondary metal products, leather and. q
few of the textile products.
Factory Employment Of.
Factory employment in this section
declined further between the middle of
December and the middle of January,
the extent of the drop being about the
same as is usual for that time. In COM
parison with the same period last year.
the number of workers on pay rolls was
larger, according to reports from about
1000 firms. employing approximately
100000 workers. The demand for work
erS by employers in January, however,
declined more than was to be expected,
and did not measure up to that in the
same month last year.
The volume of wage payments by
reporting concerns also was smaller in
January than in December, but was
larger than in January, 1929. This
favorable comparison with year earlier
was made possible by larger pay rolls
in certain metal textile, food. leather,
paper and chemical industries. The
majority of industries producing build
ing materials, however, had fewer work.
ers and smaller wage disbursements in
January this year than last.
Textile Output Improves.
The output of factories and mines in
this district in some lines showed gains
in January, although the extent of the
increase was somewhat less than sea-
sonal. The manufacture of such textile
products as wool and silk goods, cotton
yarns and clothing increased during the
month. The output of leather products
also was larger. Production by steel
works and rolling mills likewise eX-
banded, though the present rate of OPP
Grafton is lower than that prevailing in
January, 1929.

stock sales, was issued yesterday by
Supreme Court Justice Harry E. Lewis.
The State bureau of securities said
the periodical purported to give expert

securities to 10000 subscribers. Rogers
was quoted as telling the bureau that
the gross income of the publication was
more than $4,000 annually.
William j. Milholland, deputy attor-
ney general, charged that the principal
business of the Wall Street Consultant
and a daily market letter, also issued
by Rogers, was selling stock of the Kane
Stores, Inc, of New England.

STOCK SW|NDLERS

Advance in Market Followed
by Resumption of Old
RacketS.
BY LEMUEL F. PARTON.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, March e.-Spring is
still around the corner, but the sucker
public already is out again, and the in
vestment sharpers are meeting it with a
snappy new Spring line of "gyp" novel;
ties of all sorts.
The sure-thing workers appear with
the simultaneous upturn of the market
and new signs of life in basement bar
gain counter stocks, indicating that as
the sap begins to flow the saps also are
stirring, and the cleaners are ready and
waiting to take advantage of returning
gullibility.
For several months after the market
decline of last Fall, better business bu-
reaus throughout the country found a
sharp falling of in swindling cases. AS
they interpreted it, the crash mad been
severe enough to discourage even the
incorrigible optimists.
Rackets Have Changed.
During the fat years the fake stock
swindlers had been taking something
like $1,000, 100000 annually from the
trusting public. From October until
about two weeks ago, there was appar-
emily considerable unemployment in the

lis, in charge of Investigations of this
type of swindling for the Better BUSH
ness Bureau Of New York, now reports
that their business is almost as usual.

leaving somebody holding the bag. The
royalties racket seems to be one Of

by law and custom, to the owner Of

to be condemned as such and there
are many reputable operators doing

out among great many buyers and
getting returns Of perhaps $4,000 or
! $40, 900 from a royalty acre. which
might possibly pay out, at best, on an
| investment Of $4,000.
THE swindlers are also turning their
attention to the sale of listed stocks
on the installment plan, with down
payment of 10 per cent. Here. again,

BY F. H. RICHARDSON.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, March 8.-Bonds con-
tinued their activity today, but price
fluctuations were irregular.
Inactive issues continued to come out
at substantial gains in conformity with
the general rise Of the market the past
two days. but bonds which were for ,ed
to new high levels for the year in yes
terday's boiling" trading had a ten
dency to drop off fractionally. Evil
IDENTIFY some had been quoted too high,
and selling, some Of it of a profit taking
nature, resulted.
This evening-up process, however, still
leaves the general level of the market
at its highest for the year, and, in fact
some long-term United States Govern
ment bonds went into their highest
territory since 1928.
In the outside market there Is a large
demand for municipals, a great deal OF
it coming from insurance companies
and savings banks.

HOT AIR
Won't End Business Let
Down, Presidents Stand

Washington.-The White House re-
fuses to be party to plans that are
intended to hot air our business de-
preston out of existence.
The president was asked by the
editor of New York trade paper to
call conference of publishers, edi-
tors and advertising executives to en-
list the press in movement to "stop
unjustifiable boarding and to encour-
age the public to face the holiday sea-
son in the usual holiday spirit, and
with an open heart and an open
pocketbook."
The chief executive refused to en-
thuse. The editor was informed that
in discussion of similar proposals
from other quarters he (the presi-
dent) "has found that attempts at
artificial stimulation often result in
the creation of feeling of arti-
fciality in the movement which does
more damage than good"

AS THE WORKER
Sees HIS WORLD
Summary and Digest Of
Important Events of the
Week. Here and Abroad

No major upturn in business condi-
tions has been reported recently from
any country, according to statement
by the department of commerce
giving summary of radiograms and
cablegrams received from various
parts of the world.
The Chicago Federation of Labor
has placed the facilities of Station
VIGIL, the "Voice of Labor" at the
service of the railroad labor organ
izations when they meet in Chicago
beginning November IL to launch a
movement for the six-hour work day.
Officials of the United States
shipping board announced October
90 that approximately 10000 men
would be employed and $50,000,000
spent in 1881 in construction of mer-
chant vessels.
Thirty men were trapped in a coal
mine near McAlester, Okla, wrecked
by an explosion October 27.
Edwin Mckenzie, counsel for War
rem K Billings, has asked the Cali
fornia state supreme court to recon-
mend to Gov. Young full and un-
conditional pardon for Billings, who
was convicted on perjured evidence of
completely in the bombing of the Pre-
paredness Day parade of 1916.
New York city on October 20 voted
$247, 10000 to provide shelter. and work
for the unemployed.
President Hoover, in statement
issued at the White House, October
%, strongly denounced Ralph S. Kel-
/ ley, resigned chief of the Denver field
division of the general land office for
series of newspaper articles in
which he charged that the depart
ment of the interior has improperly
awarded Colorado oil lands to private
oil interests.
| More than 100 miners were killed
in an explosion in the Saar valley
coal region of Germany on October
25; 259 victims of mine disaster at
Alsdorf, Germany, were buried in the
same day.
Declaring that within the last 120
years American business has passed
| through not less than II major de-
pressions, DIR. Frank M. Surface, di-
! rector of the bureau of foreign and
| domestic commerce of the department
of commerce, in recent radio adj
dress, urged that business leaders
pool their energies toward the solu-
| ton of these recurring cycles.
Because of the recent slump in the
diamond industry, unemployment is
| very serious among the diamond cut
ters of Holland. Of the 5,728 usually
employed in Amsterdam there are
now only 1882. The lower wages paid
to diamond workers in Belgium is
cited as one of the chief causes for
| the present situation.

DROUGHT AID WON'T
RESCUE FARMERS

Washington.-Fed aid to farm
ers who suffer from the drought is
inadequate, said Governor Byrd of
Virginia in letter to the department
of agriculture.
The federal government permits
the early use of the 1881 federal road
money. The governor says this must
be given to contract requiring large
part of it to be done by machinery
rather than by human labor" Freight
rates on western hay is also declared
inadequate because few farmers have
the price of this hay. The freight re-
ductions, said the governor, should
not be considered a railroad loss as
no hay could be moved if prohibitive
rates were not removed. These re-
ductions will expire October 81. Fed
eral loans for seed are surrounded by
such restrictions that only $43 5000 of
the allotted 100000 to Virginia has
been actually loaned.

CITY COUNCIL URGES
SHORTER WORK DAY

Minneapolis. city council asks
employers to install the four or five
day week without wage reductions to
assist unemployed.
'It is the humanitarian duty of our
government, contractors, manufac-
turers, jobbers, public utilities, re-
tailers, business men and other en-
ployers to take cognizance of the
seriousness of the situation confront
ing our city and institute such imme-
diate measures as will alleviate and
sSave off a further increase in unem-
ployment," the resolution states.
Employers are urged to take adj
vantage OF present low interest rates
and Immediately construct plant ex-
pansion that may be contemplated
within the next few years.

trial relations. In factories where
Mexicans and non -Mexicans are en-
ployed, the former constitute II per
cent of the total employees.
The claim of federal officials that
fewer Mexicans are coming to this
country is not accepted. Official data,
it is stated, are incomplete, as they
do not show the actual number of
emigrating Mexicans.
The claim that Mexicans tempo
rarily come to this country and re-
turn when unemployed is also denied
The report states that it appears
from the data presented that Mex
leans come into the United States to
stay rather than to return to their
native land after a sojourn in this
country.
"There are undoubtedly over
100000 Mexicans in the United
States at the present time. More
than four-ffths, in 1920, were in
Texas, California and Arizona. A
comparison between census data and
statistics of immigration strongly
suggests that the Mexicans filter into
California from Texas and that many
settle in New Mexico and Arizona.
"While the total foreign born in
California decreased 21.9 per cent be-
tween 1900-1910 and 1910-1920, for
eign-born Mexicans increased 116 per
cent during the same period"
Less than per cent of these Mex
leans are naturalized, while 49.7 per
cent of all other foreign born are
naturalized.
