GRAND JURY REPORT

The Federal Grand Jury sent ir report en their investigations to Dist. Judge Lester O. Gore. Oct Sth, the substance of which is as follows:
 They found true bills and two not-true bills
 The Grand Jury inspected and found to be in first class condi- tion, the [ $ Federal Jail, r. s. District Attorneys Office, Office of the Clerk of the Court, Office of L s Marshal Office of the Dis trict Judae, and Office of | s Com missioner.
 In regard to conditions at the Nome pubic school. the grand jury, upon investigation. found matters to be in deplorabIe con dition, due to inadequate or de- ficiencies in ventilation, ights boiler room, unsanitary toilets, and fire escapes which are absolutely useless. They recommended that actions be instituted immediately to rectify these conditions.
 Another matter of growing at tention was brought before the grand iury-that which involved juvenile delinquency in Nome and surrounding localities. In as much as there are no means available fer the handling of such delin- quents without branding them as criminals and felons, the grand jury suggested and recommended that some type of correctional in stitution be established, and that to the best of it's knowledge. the main problem was one to be hand led by the Bureau of Indian Af- fairs, as upon investigation the greater percentage of delinquents of Juvenile bearing are either Es- kimo or Indian descent. Such was the subject of the grand iury's report. At present the District Court is handling cases now on it's regular calendar together with those turned in by the grand jury

ROOSEVELT STRONG RELIEF

ALBANY, Oct 15, (P)-Roose- welt said in a radio speech last night that the federal government was obliged to step in and help care for the unemployed. When it became apparent that the stat es and communities are unable to take care of the necessary re- lief work, then an organization with far greater scope must take over those duties''
 Speaking in reply to a question naire sent him by the Welfare Social Workers, Roosevelt laid down as his first relief principle:
 ''The primary duty rests with the community through the local government and private agency, to take care of relief and unemploy- ment, but we then come to sit uation where so many people are out of work, that local funds are insufficient, and it is then clear that an organized society known as the state comes into the picture at this point, followed in due time if they are unable to cope with the conditions, by the federal government"

Gainful employment In the United
States is divided into numerous CLASH
fcations, but it will surprise many
people to learn that one-eighth of the
population, according to the last
census, is engaged In wholesale and
retail distribution of merchandise.
Experience has shown that these
functions can best be performed by
people specializing in them and manu-
facturers have usually found 1t desir-
able to let wholesalers perform this
service. Regardless of whether such
functions are assumed by the manu-
facturer, jobber or chain store, no way
of eliminating the operations has yet
been found and they remain substan-
tial elements in the cost of living.
The Bell telephone system, a large
consumer Of merchandise, is an ex-
ample. The maintenance and extern
sion of its plant throughout the United
States requires the use of tens of
thousands of different articles, &C.
cording to the Bell Telephone Quar-
terly. The problem Of assembling in
the proper place the wide variety Of
material required by the associated
Bell telephone companies does not diff
fer materially from the general prob.
lem of distribution. It does differ
from the general custom, however, in
that through the distribution branch
of the Western Electric Company, the
Bell System has developed its own
wholesaler which does for the asso.
ciated companies the work of the So
called middlemen.
This arrangement came into being
with the development of the supply
contract between the operating tele-
phone companies and the Western
Electric Company. Under this con-
tract the latter company agrees to
manufacture or purchase material
which the telephone company may rea-

not forget to bring your con-
tribution to the former Office of

Western Electric Contract
Benefits Telephone Users
Merchandise Sold Last Year Averaged Daily Goods
Distributed From Thirty Two Branch Houses

sonably require for its business and
to maintain distributing store rooms
at points mutually agreed upon; also
to receive, store, repair, and reissue
or otherwise dispose of surplus ma
terial which has been removed from
the plant. This system, started in
1901, has developed into the establish
ment Of distributing houses in thirty
two Of the principal cities In the
United States serving all of the op-
Grating units Of the Bell System.
Western Electric distributing houses
purchase, store, carry Investment, sell,
extend credit, and pack and ship mer-
chandise as required by their GUS
toners. Last year the value of the
goods sold by these branch houses
averaged $670,OOO each working day.
Ordinarily, the object of distributor
is to make money, and the degree Of
accomplishment is shown by the rate
of return on the capital invested.
While 1t is important that the Western
Electric Company's distributing bust
ness earn reasonable return, the OBJ
jective is not primarily to make
money, but to have available when
needed the material required by the
Bell System for carrying on its opera
lions.
For these reasons the Western Elec-
trio Company is free to devote its at
tention mainly to the control and ad-
justment of production and to refine
ment in methods and management,
rather than to the usual problem Of
making sales. Since the corporations
comprising the system could not in
dividually get these advantages for
themselves, the development of a Bell
System distributor is clearly of eco
nomic advantage to the telephone COM
panies and, assists them materially in
their efforts to provide ''the best
