LABOR TROUBLE

IURAY, Va. March 19.-Lack

serious trouble in the east end Of
Marksville district, this county,

vile district away from where the
work was being done. Their pro
tests, they say, fell on deaf ears
when they asked for work. Each
morning as the waiting men were
informed there was no work the
situation became worse.
The unemployed held meetings
and took their grievance to county
officials. So belligerent did the
unemployed become that they
threatened bodily harm to those
who they alleged were helping to
make worse their need of work to
keep their families. Strole's
statement that he could get
laborers cheaper elsewhere had
no palliative effect.

getting the many times he didn't
strike. out or the numerous occa-
sions upon which he broke up
the ball game by propelling fast
one into Mrs. Jones backyard,

prolonged razZberry.
Any Of those suspicious souls
doubling the truth Of Ruth's
philosophy should have attended
the opening game Of the season
between the Braves and Giants.
No less than three concrete ex-
amples of Babes wisdom were IN
evidence during the afternoon.
In the opening inning Marshall
lifted lazy, low fly to short
centerfield. Jimmy Welsh, Brave
outfielder, playing Deep came in
under topSpeed. With the bail
only a few feet off the ground
and dropping fast, Welsh made a
flying tackle, slid along the grass
for half a block and came up
with the ball. The crowd, appre-
ciating such a sensational catch,
cheered Justify. Jimmy was a
hero.
The applause was still going on
when Leach dropped a high one
into Welsh's lap-and he muffed
it. The tenor of the cheering
changed instantaneously. Jimmy
was now goat.
"Get him a peach basket"
and Think, he spent all
spring practicing," were few
of the remarks hurled at the
hero of a minute ago.

They told Jack that his being
situated at Stroudsburg would
bring far more publicity to the
great carnival because of the fact
that it was a more central loca-

there for his great effort against
Dempsey at Philadelphia.

late last evening.
He wouldn't bulge from his

BARNES REPORTS
 BUSINESS BETTER
Many Lines Of Industries Still
 Lag Somewhat, However

Washington, Sept. 29 R - While many lines of business and industry continued to lag behind, a consid erable number of improvements were shown today in a survey of conditions in the United States and foreign countries prepared by Julius H. Barnes, chairman of President Hoover's national business survey conference.
 The summary covered conditions up to the middle of September in the most highly organized indus tries, while August conditions were given for others. Barnes refrained entirely from making forecasts or interpreting the trend of general conditions.
 Cheap Money Cited
 He saw assurance of funds for all business purposes in cheap money for both short and long-term credit. While total capital issues during the first eight months of the year were 35 per cent behind the same period of last year bond issues showed a 50 per cent gain. Increases were seen in loans to foreign govern ments, domestic municipalities, rail- road and utility companies.
 Savings also took an upward turn
