U. S. SEEN DUMPING"
IN GRAIN CREDIT PLAN
European Countries Alarmed at
Possibility of Germany Getting
Cotton and Wheat.
BY WILLIAM BIRD.

By Cable to The Star.
PARIS, August 3.-Alarm has spread
over the manufacturing and agricultural
countries throughout Europe as the
significance Of the Hoover proposal to
Tend" cotton and wheat to Germany is
realized. Although Germany apparently
has contracted with Rumania for her
current wheat needs. nevertheless the
Hoover scheme. it is feared. will upset
the European futures market.
Textile and allied industries outside
Germany realize that the cotton offer to
Germany on long credit gives the Ger
mans tremendous advantage in interna-
tional competition, and the question Is
raised as to why the Hoover credit terms
are not extended to all nations.
Many critics do not hesitate to char
acterize the scheme as dumping. and
predict that the result will be further
depression of rawstun prices.

until recently the "step-children" Of the
Soviet, are to have equality with in

able living conditions for this class be
put into effect Is o further step in the
policy recently announced by Joseph
Stain to attract more Of the intelli-
gentSsia to state service
Hereafter they will be placed in the
same category as industrial workers,
the highest privileged class, in the right
to purchase food. Instead Of being taxed
heavily on salaries above 100 rubles,
only those with incomes of 500 rubles
or more will now have to pay an in
come tax of 31a per cent.
They will be given the same housing
space as the workers, and their children
will be educated on the same basis Is
those of the workers. They will re-
ceive the same insurance benefits, and
1t is decreed that when an engineer OF
technician is transferred from one post
to another his salary shall not be
reduced.

IL is estimated by some close to the

of non-union workmen, who class them

They are said to be working for wages
ranging from Sc to So per day.,
Herman Morris said today that ne

Whereas the open shop rate, he said,
Is 90 cents an hour or $7.20 a day here

cent of his mem q dollar an hour or
SO a day: 40 per cent Of his men $40

He has a few painters helpers, Nor
at q wage higher than the prevailing
rate. He said the prevailing rate for
painters helpers in "open shops" here Is
50 a day, but he Is paying his helpers
at the rate of IS and So a day.
The Government allowed him TO
work only eight hours a day, motifs
said. but on account Of the necessity Tor
production, the men are working some
times on Sunday. Next week, be said,
he expected to start night shift.
Approached by Union.
Morris said representatives Of the
painters union had approached MIN,
and endeavored to get him to employ
nothing but union labor, at the union
scale. but he had refused.
This Is an open shop" he said. I'VE
will employ men who belong to the
union If they want to work, but We will
pay them what we consider our pre-.
yailing wage. The Government itself
employs painters, but they do not all
belong to the union, and understand
that the Government is paying some
of its own painters at the rate Of $7.20
a day, which is less than we are pay
ing most Of our own painters. My con-
tract with the Government says that
we must pay not less than the pre-
vailing wage, but the union Scale is not
the prevailing wage"

AS OIL FLOWS ON
Oklahoma Governor Ready to
Garry Out Threat to
Close Wells.
BY the Associated Press.


OKLAHOMA CITY, August S.
Oklahonas thousands of prorated oil
wells flowed on unmolested today,
taking the rest Of their allowed pro-
duction for August. while oil men
awaited q threatened shutdown order
from the State Capitol.
Gov. w. H. Murray Indicated he
would issue today his contemplated ex-
ecutive decree closing all prorated wells
in the State in an effort to lift the
prices for crude from AZ and so cents
to q minimum Of 81 per barrel.
While the delay in issuance Of the
order remained a puzzle. the Governor
let it be known last night that It was
prepared for signature.
Ca~~-'rn Unchanged.
The contc- ed campaign plan of
the operate appeared to be I'M
changed. T.. was generally reported
to provide fc:' active resistance Of any
civil attempt to close the wells and q
test case in Federal courts If the Gov
ernor called out the National Guard,
as he threatened.
Three Federal judges were sitting In
Guthrie, Okla, today in Champlin
Refining Co. case attacking the States
partial shutdown as exempted in the
proration laws.
Their judgment likely would have a
strong bearing on any action Of Gov
Murray. If the proration laws should
be held void, operators indicated. then
issuance Of an executive order might
similarly be held to be without au-
thority.
Runs Completed.
Virtually all prorated wells were COM
pleting their runs this morning The
Oklahoma City field, which one day last
week reached the low point of approxi-
mately %, 900 barrels production, Satur-
day saw 100000 barrels Of oil brought
from the earth. yesterdays production
was even greater.
Gov. w. H. Murray, who has an
nounced he would shut In prorated oil
wells in Oklahoma unless crude oil
reaches 81 per barrel. said this fore
noon: IT have nothing to say right
now" Asked if an announcement on
the order might be expected during the
day. he replied: mo, but you might call
me about 8 pm. tonight"
