on today by Robert Hays, manager
of the chamber OF commerce. Hays,
with Leo Hetzel, just returned from
the state chamber of commerce BIZ
monthly meeting, where the assem-
bly, turned its attention to the un-
employment situation. A plan was
proposed for general acceptance of
five day week for all California
employees, thus furnishing employ
ment to 10 or twenty per cent now
out of work. Various large corpor-
ations, including the Standard Oil
company and Pacific Telephone
company, are putting such plan
in effect in many departments, thus
bringing about what is called JOB
securing through job sharing"
Though various indices would point
to the fact that business and econ
omic conditions are steadily i'm
proving throughout the country,
Hays declared, the unemployed
gradually and until normal en-
ployment is again reached there
will be many unemployed who must
be given consideration by those who
are more fortunate.

Munson, at the Barbara Worth

SAN DIEGO MAN
OBTAINS LOCAL
DRYCOODS STORE

H. N. McKie, San Diego mer-
chant, has concluded the details
of a purchase which gives him
ownership of the remaining stocks
and lease on the store which for
the past seven years has been
owned and operated by j. H. Mathe5
at 528 Main street in Ell Centro.
McKie, who will operate the
store under the name I. v. Trading
Post, plans comprehensive remodel
ing of the establishment and in
auguration of a distinctive mer-
chandising policy. Remodeiing OPP
erations were started this morning
but with view to rapidly dispose
of the remaining Mathes stocks, the
store will be open for business as
usual while the work progresses.
Today a force of carpenters and
painters was busily employed inside
and outside the store.
Acquisition of the Mathes
store" McKie stated this morning,
provides the nucleus of bust
| ness I have long wished to estab-
lish in Imperial Valley. For more
than 20 years l have been III touch
with the cegelopment ci the val
ley, and, carefully studying the
trend of events in the nation wide
depression, l feel that the turning
point has been reached and that
today is an ideal time TO start
building a business for the days of
prosperity which are coming.
The public, impelled by the
economic necessities which have
been forced upon it, demands un-
usual value for each dollar it
expends. Our new store will be
dedicated and devoted to supplying
that demand.
"One reason" he continued,
which inspires our heavy buying,
is the recent advance in security
and commodity prices. During the
past three weeks many securities
! listed on the New York stock ex-
change have doubled in price.
Some have registered even more
remarkable gains. Numerous COM
modify prices have advanced. In
evitably, these changes viii be re-
flected in the wholesale cost of
merchandise and the prices the
public will have to pay. I believe
it the part of wisdom for every
merchant and every customer to
fill present and anticipate future
merchandise needs.
RIcKie, who for more than 20
years has owned and operated
stores in San Diego and still owns
che there, plans TO spend most OF
his time in FL Centre.
Among those who will assist
McKie in conducting the business
of the new 1. " Trading Post will
be Mrs. Ina Cline, who for the
past five years has been identified
with the Mathes store. In the new
store Mrs. Cline assumes the posi-
ton of buyer and manager of the
dry goods and ladies' wear depart
mentS..
Alfred Lyons, who has been with
/ the Mathes store for the last six
months and who has been active in
the shoe trade of the valley fol
seven years, becomes buyer ano

with daily flow of 5000 barrels.
This record depth approximately

DE VALERA ACTS
STIR ARMY
DETECTION

DUBLIN, April l QNS0.
Eamonn De Valera, president of
the Irish Free State executive
council, encountered new Difficult
ties with opposing political fac
tions today.
With his cabinet already split
over abolition of the oath of al
legiance and subjected to harsh
criticism by extremists, De Valera
was Unexpectedly Threatened with
loss of support of the Irish Free
State army.
The trouble was precipitated
by a nwe army pension bill under
which all soldiers disabled in
active service would be rewarded
by the government. AS this would
include members of hte Irish
republican army who supported
De Valera during the civil war,
it aroused the ire of the regular
army.
Indignation in the regular army
corps over the new pension meas
ure was summed up by one mem
ber of the Free State army as
follows:
eff De Valera thinks he can
take money from the pockets
of our comrades and give it
to the l. r. A. crOwd-well,
just let him try it,"
This new position, coming on
the heels of the dangerous Cabi
net split on the oath of allie
glance, left De Valera in far
from an enviable position.

TWo-Year Senate Investiga-

Made.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press,
A two-year Senate investigation of
post Office leases, started by charges
Of fraud, will be completed this week.
Senator Blaine of Wisconsin, who
caused the investigation and directed
it, said today preparation of the final
report is underway and one hearing this
week will complete the record
The investigation was into the prac-
tice of the Post Office Department to
lease buildings in cities where it could
not erect its own. A change in policy,
under which many leased buildings
are to be replaced by Government con-
struction, was instituted soon after teh
Senate decided to go into the matter.
Professional bidders, two of them
found to hold $1,000,000 worth of such
leases apiece, entered the case. Prac-
tices of the lessons in financing this
construction were held by Postmaster
General Brown to be the only subject
for criticism involved in the trans
actions
The Senate Committee made an ex-
haustive study Of the valuations of
the rents paid. The report will include
a summary of this study together with
recommendations for future postal hous-
ing policy. Blaine already has introduced
a bill for a f1ve-year building program
to substitute Government-owned struc-
lures for leased properties on which
contracts expire by 1887.
