Business Notes

NEW YORK, February 27.-According
to current reports in the shoe trade, the
past weeks business In Spring styles In
the volume division showed slight
gain, with more requests coming In from
the Eastern section Of the country. The
trend to lower-priced styles continues
to gain headway, it Is said.
The effect on the window glass price
structure of the 10 per cent advance
just announced by q leading manufac-
turer cannot be gagged at this time,
the American Glass Review says in its
current issue. 1t will take Few weeks
for the situation TO clear, this authority
holds, inasmuch as both production and
sales are at low point, with consumer
demand showing little indication OF bet
terment
The wholesale lamp market this week
was featured by small gain in orders
for regular Spring merchandise, dealers
report. They also report an active call
for specially priced sales merchandise.

WAGE SCALE PROBED
AT LANGLEY FIELD
Charges Made That Some Contrac-
tors on Army Building Are Vio-
lating Labor Law.

Charges that some contractors en-
gagged in building quarters for commits
stoned and n-commissioned officers
at Langley Field, Va, are violating the
law "by failure to pay the prevailing
wage" are being investigated by the
Office of quartermaster general, War
Department.
Attorneys for laborers at the field
laid before the department yesterday
what they termed conclusive evidence
that the wage scale fixed by the Labor
Department is not being observed"
The attorneys, Capt. C. c. Berkeley.
candidate for Lieutenant Governor Of
Virginia in 1929, and w. L. Carleton,
both of Newport News, appeared before
Assistant Secretary Payne, asking back
pay for carpenters and hricklayers,
whose wages they said were below the
legal scale. They also asked assurance
the proper wage be paid during the re-
mainder of the work.
The scale fixed by Secretary Doak
last July, the attorneys pointed out,
was 80 cents an hour for carpenters
and $50 for bricklayers. In some
cases, they said, the carpenters were
paid from 40 to IS cents an hour and
the bricklayers from so cents to 81.

Representative Smell said:
The attitude Of the Democratic
party and its presidential candidate
toward the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence
waterway is clearly indicated in the
statement of the spokesman chosen by
Gov Roosevelt to reply to the recent
charge of Senator Dickinson OF Iowa
that Mr.. Roosevelt. Willingly or other

reading into the Democratic platform
declaration favoring this waterway
which was not in the text adopted by
the Democratic National Convention.

This spokesman for the Governor
and his party-Senator Gore of Okla
homa-accusses Senator Dickinson and
the Republican party of training their
heaviest artillery on mere Eif7es.' 1t is
not surprising that the Democratic
presidential candidate regards the Great
Lakes-St. Lawrence waterway as mere
trifle.' because it is we'll known that he
always has favored the New York barge
canal route from the Great Lakes 70
the sea and embraced the st. Lawrence
project only after it was perfectly clear
that the administration in Washington
would successfully conclude negotiations
with Canada to furnish through the St.
Lawrence the Atlantic Ocean outlet to
the products of the farmers in the

A T one time in the fourth set of the
n Vines-Wright match yesterday it
appeared to the gallery OF some
$500 gathered around the en-tout-cas
court at Chevy Chase that real up
set was in the making. Vines smooth
stroking and laundering service aces
had no effect on the imperturbable
Wright, for the Californian was weak
on short back-hand shots and netted
far too many balls to score steadily.
He won the first set after a prolonged
struggle at 8-6, only to have Wright
annex the second set at 6-3. Then
Vines won the third set at Ga to
lead 2 sets to / at the interm1ssion.
The fourth set found Wright at his
best. Dazzling placements caught Vines
fiat-footed and in the volley exchanges
the Canadian proved himself the mas
ter of the American champion. Wright
quickly ran the score to 81, and,
although Vines won two games, Wright
ran out the set with brace OF sharp
placements to the corners to even the
count at two sets all.
Vines changed courts with new de-
termination and quickly went to work
to prove his mastery. -Four service aces
doomed over in the first three games of
the set from the racquet of the tall
Californian, who was covering the court
completely and thoroughly. Wright,
dazzled at the speed of the Vines re-
turns, popped up few short lobs which
Vines smashed to the corners and the
American quickly ran the score up to
So. The last point was hard fought,
with Wright finally sending the ball out
beyond the side lines from one Of Vines
sizzling forehand returns.
Vines appeared to be attempting to
top the net tape by inches. He made
numerous nets during the match and
some wag remarked that if the tape
could be taken from the net Vines
would be the worlds greatest tennis
player On the form Vines showed yes
