ARGENTINA is
IRKED BY u. S.
DEAL IN BRAZIL
Farm Board Barter StirS
Wrath and Protest
Is Likely.
BY JOSEPH III. BAIRD
United Press stan Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Aug. 25.-The
federal farm boards barter of sur
plus wheat for Brazilian coffee has
aroused the keen resentment of
Argentina, which for years has en-
joyed virtual monopoly of Brazil's
wheat market.
Well informed diplomatic quar-
tiers considered it probable that
Argentina either would protest the
farm boards action at the state
department or make reprisal by
raising higher tariff walls against
imports from the United States.
The farm board announced last
week it had arranged to exchange
25, 100000 bushels of wheat for
1,O5O,00O bags of Brazilian coffee.
Argentine observers believed the
deal virtually will destroy their
Brazilian wheat market, at least
for a year. The amount of wheat
the American agricultural agency
plans to send into Brazil almost
exactly balances the usual Argen-
tine sales-23,816,336 bushels in
1930-to it's northern neighbor.
This blow to Argentine wheat
growers follows closely another in
cident which aroused hard feeling
against the United States.
Argentina just has been called on
by New York banks to ship $4,000, :
GOO worth of gold here to meet
short-credit obligations. Banks de-
clined to transfer them into long
term credits.
Because of the present acute gold
shortage, observers believe this loss
of gold-now en- route-may have a
very bad effect Argentina'S finances.
Argentine circles consider that the
farm board arrangement marks an
invasion of Argentina's wheat mar
ket in Brazil which private agencies
never could have accomplished in
open competition. Furthermore they
consider it a direct contradiction of
the United States against prefer
entail tariffs. They believe, further,
that it constitutes dumping"
If Argentina should protest to the
state department, as is considered
likely, it is expected the department
will discuss the matter.

CLIFFORD GETS
FORCES READY
FOR AID DRIVE
First Task to Be Push for
Funds on Part of
Local Agencies.
BY THOMAS L. STOKES
United Press Staf Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Aug. 25.-Walter
s. Clifford, President Hoover'S capt.
talist director OF unemployment re-
lief, began to organize his volun-
teer forces today to fight distress
among the nations jobless.
The first task of Clifford and his
committee, as he outlines it, is to
promote a national campaign to
raise funds for local relief agencies.
The chief of the American Tele-
phone and Telegraph Company, a
draftee from big business, is gather
ing about him leaders of seven re-
lief and welfare organizations to
plan and set date for the money
raising campaign. 1t will be car
ried forward by nationwide radio
hookups and other publicity agen-
cies.
For two or three days Clifford will
confer with Allan T. Burns of the
association of Community Chests;
Linton B. Swift of the Family We'll
fare Association; w. j. Ellis of the
Association of Public Welfare Off
Gals; Miss Bertha Mccall of Ma
tional Travellers Aid, Miss Joanna
Colcord, research director of the
Russell Sage Foundation, and the
Rev. John O'Grady of the National
Catholic Welfare Council.
Gifford's emphasis throughout
his first interview with the press
was upon relief by local agencies.
The committees function will be
to inspire and encourage concerted
local campaigns to raise enough
money to enable local agencies to
take care of distress in their sec
tons
Clifford indicted plainly no fed
eral appropriations for relief are
contemplated. Inquiries as to what
the policy would be if local agen-
cies could not carry the burden al
ways brought the answer: We'll
cross that bridge when we get to it."
I'VE are down here trying to do
the best job we can" he said. I'VE
don't want to get into any contro-
Versies before we get started"

BETHLEHEM PROXIES
SOUGHT In BONUS FIGHT
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, March 21.-A new move
by the opposition to the bonus system
of the Bethlehem Steel Corporation was
made yesterday, when letters seeking
proxies for use at the annual meeting,
in Newark, N. j., on April IA, were
mailed to the common and preferred
stockholders, who number 10000.
The letter says that the Stockholders
Protective Committee feels that the
facts of the Bethlehem bonus system
required the concerted action of the
stockholders for their protection.
Directors of the Bethlehem Steel Cor
poration have attempted to secure
vote of immunity" while denying to the
stockholders the opportunity to be
heard, the letter declares.
Scrutiny of the annual Bethlehem re-
ports since 1917 fail to show any men
ton of bonuses, the letter says, or of
anything relating to compensation to
officials, which Is submerged" in "oper-
ating expense"
During the time the bonus system has
been in force and up to the end Of 1928
bonuses have totaled $31 .878, 255, COM
pared with $40, 1886, 1896 paid to common
stockholders, the letter adds. In the
four years 1925 to 1928, inclusive, dur
ing which no common dividends were
paid, $4,000, 524 in bonuses was paid to
the favored directors and other exec
utives," the letter charges.
The letter concludes by saying that
the proxy authorizes the committee TO
act at the annual meeting only on the
bonus question.
Henry B. H Ripley. Samuel D. Hop
kins and Edwin D. Levinson compose
the committee.

ACTIVITY IN CANDY
TRADE IS STEADY
Chicago Plants Unaffected
by Recession in Other
Lines of Industry.
BY WALTER BROWN.

CHICAGO, Ill, March 21.-Chicago's
candy industry, which satisfies every
fourth sweet tooth in the United States,
hasn't heard about a business depres-
sion, orders and employment retaining
their normally through last year and
into this year.
Nineteen CONNECTION plants here pro-
duce one fourth of the candy con-
sumed in America and large portion
Of that eaten all over the world. The
yearly output, 375, 100000 pounds, is a.
most twice as large as the production
of the second largest candy-making
city, New York.
According to A. F. Dirksen, secretary
treasurer of the Chicago Association OF
Candy Makers, there were 1926 en-
plcyes on the pay rolls of the 10 COM
panies on January /, 1880. On Janu-
airy l, 1881, the pay rolls showed 6,78l
wage-earners, a decrease OF two-th1rdS
of l per cent.
Not only have our pay rolls been
kept intact" said Dirksen, but all our
factories have remained in operation
through the business depression, except
during regular inventory periods"
During recent weeks orders for candy
have increased, and some of the plants
have added a small number of workers.
The average weekly pay roll of the
candy factory employees is $150000.
Chicago became candy making
center largely because of its central To-
cation. The city is close to the corn
sirup industry, and that product is one
of the candy makers raw materials.
But for the most part the ingredients
of candy come from far-off places
cacao beans (chocolate) from Trinidad,
Ceylon and Bahia fruits and nuts
from Brazil, Tunis, Persia, Arabia,
Morocco, Spain and Turkey; coconuts
from Ceylon and British West Indies;
licorice from Egypt; lemon oil from
Italy. and vanilla beans from Mexico.
Cuban and Porto Rican sugar supple
ments the domestic purchases.
Candies are distributed in hundreds
of ways, one firm manufacturing no
less than 1920 different CONNECTIONS.
Within the past year the candy COM
panies have intensified their bid for
foreign trade Their records show that
sales to Continental Europe and the
Far East have been increased.

NEW YORK, March 21.-Bonds were
strong today in fairly active trading.
Money was in larger supply, Though
rates were not quotably easier except in
the outside market There was a
noticeable quickening of speculative in
tereSt in sections of the bond list some
based on earnings reports and some on
reports that various groups of bonds,
both domestic and foreign, will shortly
be dressed up in advance of new Of
ferings.
The feature was again Vanadium SIS,
traded on the Curb Exchange. These
ran up to ever 9-point premium on
pressure from buyers who are looking
to the conversion privilege which be-
comes profitable when the common
shares reach 30. They are selling above
70 now.
Another outstanding incident was a
5-pcint gain in Philadelphia & Reading
Coal 81 Iron 6S. This paralleled move
ment in the stock, following the state
ment Of the company's president that
earnings in 1880 we're over 81 900 900,
against a $793,076 deficit in 1929
Pathe Exchange Is were at new top
for the year. This followed assurance
that benefits accruing from the sale of
the company's physical assets to the
Radio -Orpheum interests insured
the payment of interest and sinking
fund payments. Certainteed SIS also
received attention from the spectators,
running up nearly points to a new
peak for 1881. The March I interest
on these bonds was paid and the COM
pany's financial position is reported to
have been greatly improved during the
past IL months. International Match

premium of 4 points.
The syndicate firm bid for the re-
Gently issued Missouri-Pacific SIS. series
I, was withdrawn and these dropped 21k
points, sympathetically affecting other
MisSouri-Pacific bonds.
High-grade bonds we're firm, with few
important price changes. In the for
eign department the feature was the
strength of italian bonds. This dress
ing up" was attributed to the prospect
Of large italian loan next week in

week of March. Red onions sold at high
prices in Southern markets. Prices of
onions at some country shipping points
have advanced 20 cents since early in
the month. An increased demand pre-
vailed in the important Eastern ship
ping section near Rochester, N. Y.
Many dealers were unable to obtain
cause most holders were holding for
still higher prices. Sales since the
middle of March have ranged from 90
cents to 81 per 100 pounds. Recent
local reports from Indiana and Michi~
gan indicate that the quantity of mer-
charitable onions is smaller than sup
posed, owing to shrinkage and losses
in storage.
The demand for the small remaining
holdings of old cabbage showed slight
increase during the third week of
March and prices advanced about 81
per ten on sacked stock in Western New
York producing sections, most lots 60
ing at S12 to S13 per ton, occasionally
S14. Daily shipments from this section
still averaged 10 to Is cars daily. Three
fourths of these go to New York, Phil
adelphia and Baltimore. Total ship
ments from the State are about Il 1880,
10 per cent gain compared with last
season. The New York shipping season
for cabbage is practically over unless
something unusual happens to warrant
marketing the remaining holdings of
all grades. Southern cabbage markets
have been advancing during the past
! two weeks.
Apple Market Strengthens.
Advances of about 10 cents per bushel
were quite general at apple shipping
! points east to west. Shipments con-
! tinue in moderate volume. About 40
per cent of the cars moving out of New
York producing sections are for export
4 trade and demand continues good for
American apples in foreign markets
| Domestic trade is considered to be i'm
proving slightly and dealers in pro-
