vised the purchase of certain joint land stock which the defendant rep resented as conservative invest ments and also recommended the purchase of common stock of the Puget Sound Power & Light com- pany. Dr Spicer alleged he believed the representations of the defend ants agent and carried out his sug- gestions.
 On May 31, 1928, the defendant notified the plaintiff that there was not sufficient collateral to cover their one-third margin requirements and that it would be necessary to sell his holdings in said Puget Sound Power & Light company stock in order to meet the margin requirements, the complaint said. Dr Spicer objected to the sale of the Puget Sound stock, stating he wished to hold that stock. He added he had no means of protecting the account and instructed the defend ant to sell all the joint stock land stocks to bring the account within the one-third margin requirements.
 The defendant neglected to carry out these instructions, Dr Spicer charged and without his knowledge sold, between June l and June 8, 1926, 1,700 shares of the Puget Sound stock, at extremely low prices and much lower than the price paid by the plaintiff.
 As result, the plaintiffs account was not adequately protected and the value of the joint stocks went down and the Puget Sound stock that was sold, began to rise. The plaintiff charged he lost $40,000 as result of the transactions and asked $70,000 damages.

Danville, Va. (ILNS)-Following
an investigation by Acting General
Waller, representing Gov. Pollard, and
conference with the management
committee representing the local tex
tile union, the soldiers quartered in
the Danville strike area for four
months were ordered taken on. They
left Monday.
General Waller said he saw no fur
ther need of troops here, although he
admitted that when he came he
thought it would be better to keep
the soldiers on the job so that he
might be able to "help feed the desti-
tute" by supplying army rations. The
union officials told the general there
was no need for troops since the
strike had been called off in conform
ity with an understanding" between
neutral persons and the mills. APP
proximately $50 troopers had been
doing strike deputy duty the last few
weeks, the force having been cut from
time to time from 900 men.
1t was said that Gov Pollard did
not wish to send troops into the strike
area, but that she had to" when the
local peace authorities laid down on
the job and passed the buck to the
state. Under the Virginia law the
states chief executive has no power
to remove incompetent county peace
officers, but it is mandatory for him
to keep ORDER" even if he has to
send in soldiers, Gen. Waller said.
Labor Backs Removal Bill
Officers and members of the Vir-
ginia State Federation of Labor are
getting behind a bill to be presented
to the Virginia legislature whereby
the governor will be empowered to re-
move any peace officer found derelict
in his duty and appoint a successor.
The status of the mill workers who
voted to call off the strike has i'm
proved but little, although some
strikers have been taken back into the
mills Others have been told they
could return to work if they gave up
their union cards, which they have
refused to do. The union is still
standing pat on the proposed under
standing to the effect that the strik-
ers would resume their jobs without
discrimination and without any ques-
tion as to their unionism. 1t is gen
orally understood that the matter is

LONG WORK
Schedule Prevails in Amer
ica, Says Women's Bu-
reau Director

Washington.-'Th long work day
and the long work night prevail in
many parts of our country" said Miss
Mary Anderson, director Federal
Women's Bureau, in a press state
ment.
Numerous workshops and mills
still hold to the schedule of 10 hours
a day and II hours a night" said
Miss Anderson.
Though some employers proved
long ago that the shorter workday
assures profits to the firm and greater
health and happiness to employees,
other employers persistently cling to
the theory that the long day is more
productive and, therefore, must be
continued in order to bring higher
dividends at the expense of the
workers.
1.-THE shorter workday is, to be sure,
not the cure-all for economic ills that
beset us, but would prove an effca-
cious remedy if universally resorteo
to.
'If we established throughout the
world "a reasonable working schedule
and by reasonable ! do not mean a
nine or ten-hour day, but one of eight
hours or less, and perhaps five-day
week as well, we would go long way
towards the goal of satisfactory set
tlement of unemployment difficulties"

Meanwhile the necessity for still
