INDUSTRIES
Republicans Join Democrats
in Advocating Proposal OF
New York Senator

Shorter working hours in
industry is the only solution
to the unemployment problem
in the United States, Senator
Wagner (D.) of New York
said today.
He predicted a siX-hour
day, five-day week, for work
ers in every line of business
and industry would be adopted
within few years.
Republicans and Democrats
agreed that reducing working
hours is essential to the ultimate
solution of the unemployment
problem. Most of them agreed
the six-hour day, five-day week,
was inevitable. Wagner said:
"The pending unemployment
measures before Congress will
relieve the situation if passed,
but even if we could put the
100000 jObleSs back to work,
we would be faced with the
problem of Overproduct'On.
"Our inventive genius has
produced labor-Saving machines
so rapidly that in order to
absorb the millions industrial
equipment has replaced, we
must shorten working hours.
ct has been said that for
every human being employed

mechanical equipment.
Shorter hours would i'm

EMBARGO FIGHT.
OVER RUSSIAN
GOODSLOOMS

Certainty of a keen congress
sional fight over the question OF
permitting imports of manganese,
lumber, wood pulp. furs, asbestos
and other important products
from Russia appeared today.
Secretary of the Treasury Mills
declined to issue a blanket en-
barge against Russian imports un-
der the forced labor provision of
the tariff act.
Forced Labor Used
A delegation from Congress and
from industrial and patriotic or
ganizationS thereupon announced
they would seek legislation to pre-
vent the entry of goods from
countries where forced labor is
used, contending the Soviet law
provided for that system.
There will be a stiff fight
against legislation of that char
acter in Congress. The Iron and
Steel Institute, which represents
the steel industry, is certain to
make strong protest against the
exclusion of manganese, largely
imported from Russia.
Insist on Entry
The steel industry insisted in
hearings before the Treasury that
Russian manganese was essential.
The steel men denied the claim of
the American Manganese Produc-
erS' Association that the domestic
output would be sufficient to meet
the demand under normal condi-
tions.

stration. Then on the day of the
demonstration the job of spraying
the remaining weeds can be gone
over the results of the previous
spraying reviewed.
Sodium chlorate and calcium
chlorate, tht latter being more gen.
orally known by the trade name OF
Atlacide, have been successfully
used to eradicate dense patches of
noxious weeds. The cost of eradi-
eating bad patches Of thistles, leafy
spurge, quack grass etc., would be
about 10-20c per square rod. The
cost of poisoning solid acreages OF
ouack and thistles of course would
be prohibitive and this practice is
not encouraged. For small areas
the use of CELEBRATES Is a rapid and
economical method. 1t is especial
ly successful with leafy spurge the
infestation of this in Stearns coun-
ty is still in rather small
areas.
Sodium chlorate is infiamable
when the solution dries on ones
clothing. Atlacide or calcium
chlorate is just as effective and
carries no fire hazard and the cost
is nearly the same as for Sodium
chlorate. Both Of. these poisons
render the land sterile for one
year hence this is another reason
why great acreage should not be
treated in this way.
