Negro workers were lynched in France with

The Return
When the American white soldiers were Or

The Number of Workers Killed

thing, more than 1000 tried to get help. In
the prisons are thousands of veterans forced
to slave at hard work on chain gangs and die
like rats because they were disabled mentally
and some were later forced into becoming drug

nothing but accentuated the struggle for power
colonies, markets and raw materials, settled
nothing because new power arose during the
world war-the Soviet Union of the workers
and peasants, the central force of the workers
and peasants of the entire world.
Today, 25,000,000 workers and their families
in the industrial countries are iobless and hun

ers and peasants are starving. In the capital

the market-not the capacity of the masses to
consume, but their power to buy back so that
they may consume.
Unemployment Grows
An army of 100000 unemployed tramp the
streets of the United States, in vain looking
for work. Each month adds to the number:
in June two per cent more in New York; SO

More Homes Needed.
In discussing the first meeting Of the
Planning Committee, Secretary Lamont
said that compilation of the most
recent surveys made throughout the
country indicate that in many centers
the number of desirable vacant no s
and apartments is not excessive, and
that with the present low rate of resi-
Dental building activity a resumption
of more active building will soon be
required by the needs of our steadily
growing population.
Conditions are now favorable for
home builders who have the resources
and intend to build to go ahead" Mr..
Lamont said, and pointed out that the
lower prices of building materials, the
availability of an ample number of
highly skilled tradesmen and contrac-
tors anxious to obtain work, together
with the general availability of first
mortgage money at reasonable terms, all
combined to make this & favorable Pc
Rod for such development.
Applying on the subject, Mr.. Cries
said that for the man who could put
up from IS to 40 per cent of the cost
of building this is propitious time
for the undertaking, for the reasons
stated by Secretary Lamont. On the
other hand, the man with only or 10

out to various subcommittee subjects
which are to be investigated in detail.
The study and research to be under
taken in the next year will cover every
section of the country, and will enable
the Planning Committee some time next
year to hold a general meeting for the
purpose Of advocating specific changes
in current practices and the establish
ment of new business practices looking
to the relief of the people.
Mr.. Cries said the enthusiasm of the
members of the conference had been
rather surprising. Il have been a MEM
Der Of conferences at which the leaders
met the first time and then delegated
subordinates to appear for them at sub
sequent meetings" he said. "Of course.
the subordinates then had to educate
their leaders, and the net result was
that in some instances we lost time and
failed to arrive at unanimity of
agreement.
Attend All Meetings.
But this conference is decidedly diff
ferent. The leaders of these associa-
tions were at the first meeting of the
Planning Committee in person. They
had many suggestions about how the
work should be undertaken, how far it
should go, and the scope of the various
subjects. When a start had been made
every member said he wanted to be
here in person at the next meeting"
That enthusiasm is expected by Sec
rotary Lamont and Mr.. Cries to mean
great deal to the final success of the
group, whose work is privately financed
and who are aiming to stimulate and
coordinate private effort rather than
seek relief through legislation.
One of the suggestions already Y,ada
is that communities organize and
handle second mortgage business
through single organization, repre-
senting all the dealers in real estate
and buildings. It is suggested that
such an organization would simplify the
business and at the same time guar
antee the prospective home owner
against undue risk. This and other
suggestions are being studied by sub

HOME OWNING WINS
POPULAR SUPPORT
Suggestions Given Hoover
Commission on Financing
and Other Phases.

Although less than two months old,
President Hoover's Conference on Home
Building and Home Ownership has re-
ceived adequate evidence of a wide
spread interest in the problems in
volyed
With its major work ahead, the con-
ference has received hundreds of Sug-
gestions that give promise of tighten
ing the burden of home owners and
helping them in the fields of finance,
design, equipment, city planning and
transportation.
Secretary Lamont, who, as head of
the Commerce Department, was named
chairman of the conferences important
Planning Committee, and John NJ.
Cries, chief OF the Division of Building
and Housing in the department, said
today that the response from leaders
summoned into conference by President
Hoover had been gratifying in the
extreme.
Huge Outlay FOreseen.
The first meeting of this Planning
Committee developed the information,
based on a survey of general scope, that
the American people will spend $780,
900 900 900 on new residence conStrue-
ton in the next 20 years. Upward of
$500 900 900 is being spent each year
on household repairs and maintenance.
The major interest of the experts serv-
ing under Mr.. Lamont is in simplifying
the business processes through which
the home builder and owner comes
into possession of his property, making
it easier for him and less expensive. In
the realm OF finance the major item In
that process is the second mortgage.
President Hoover took cognizance OF
that item in announcing his decision to
call the conference.
I'm order to enable the purchase Of
homes on what amounts to the INSTALL
necessary to place first, and often,
second mortgages. Building and loan
associations have performed q great
service in this field, but they cannot
without assistance carry the burder.
''FirSt mortgages, carried so largely
by the savings banks and insurance
companies, have been affected by COM

investment Second mortgages, which
are also necessary to many people, have,

by increasing unemployment in the
trades involved"
Many Solutions Offered.
Many suggestions as to the solution
Of the second mortgage problem have
been offered by the members of the
Planning Committee, who are the
heads of organizations directly con-
cerned in the building, owning and
financing of homes.

tary of the conference, said today that

the problem Of home owning becomes
acute.
Other Problems Cited.

question of finances Is only one OF
many with which the conference is

together President Hoover said that

Leaders of the undertaking anticipate
that the members will require a year
to make the study which President
Hoover outlined. They have not closed

lation designed to remedy some of the
evils suffered by people who try I'M

Apathy Towards Fixed Income
 Issues Reflected in Sales

New York, July q Pl-It was summer in the listed bond market today and the dull trading and lethargic state was about what traders expect on a day in July or August.
 The apathy towards fixed income securities was reflected in narrow movements and a diminished sales volume, most of the activity Cen- tered in rails which maintained a firm trend. Stock privilege bonds suffered from the heaviness of equity issues. The rest of the market idled.
 Denver & Rio Grande Western 5's, New Orleans, Texas and Mexico 5's B. Northern Pacific As, Pennsyl- vania 4 1-2's were among the most active lien issues in early dealings and tended higher. Canadian Pacific As were soft. Offerings of most of the rails which are sought by banks and institutions were slim with prices unchanged.
 Foreign bonds were steady. Ger man 1-2's and German 7's, the Dawes issues, were moderately ac- tive. Italy 7's. and British 4 1-2's were firm. South American issues f1uctuated narrowly, with Brazilian s 1-2s easing, as Argentine 6s and Chile 6's held an upward course, Serbian S's made a small gain.

BETHLEHEM HEADS
 BONUS Sl,623,753
Grace Allowed to Tell Of Per.
 Centage Agreement

Youngstown, O., July 21 P-Eu- gene G. Grace received a bonus of s1,623,753 in 1929 as president of Bethlehem Steel corporation, he testified today in the suit to enjoin sale of the Youngstown Sheet and Tube company to Bethlehem.
 In Addition to Salary The bonus was in addition to the stipulated s12.000 annual salary to which he testified last week.
 Revelation of Grace's compensa- tion for last year followed a hard fought three-day legal battle.
 Attorneys for the Cyrus S. Eaton | interests, opposed to the merger Of the Youngstown and Bethlehem companies sought the testimony in support of their contention that the Bethlehem company paid Grace un- warranted amounts, and that these amounts were fraudulently conceal ed from the stockholders of the Youngstown company when they ratified the merger last April.
 
 An objection by defense attorneys to the question about Grace's bonus was considered over the weekend by Judge David G. Jenkins and overruled shortly after court open- ed today. The court held that inas- much as Grace testified his present bonus arrangement had been in ef feet for the past five and one half years he would be allowed to state the amount.
 Tells How Is Works
 Grace then testified that since 1925 he has received a bonus Of 3.319 per cent of the net earnings after fixed charges, less an amount equal to the annual preferred div idend, but before depreciation. .hc earnings of Bethlehem were S49,- 100000 in 1929, making his bonus .$1,623,753.

 This amount would be com- promise between s2 without costs, which is Judge NJ. D. Saxe's cus- tomay penalty, and s2 with costs, with s5 remitted, which Judge Ira ceski usually imposes. It would be unnecessary for violators to present themselves for court arraignment unless they wanted to contest the charges.
 It is expected that the change will be made shortly. effective as regards stop lights and signs.
