INCREASE IN Jobs
ANDPAY REPORTED
September Improvement Is
Laid to Seasonal Causes.
> Business Better.

Employment in 54851 torie S
throughout the United States increased
per cent and pay roll earnings which
have been tagging during the last two
years, went up per cent during the
3O-day period ending September 80, the
Labor Department announced yesterday
While employment figures showed a
slight increase during August, indicating
the bottom of jobless conditions had
been reached, pay roll earnings contln-
ued in a slump, causing labor chieftains
to interpret the fluctuation to mean
that job requirements were being made
on a cheaper wage scale, endangering
buying power.
1t was pointed out by the depart
ment's Bureau of Statistics that the in
creases have been recorded with reser-
vation The bureau made notation
that the total figures did not lncluoe
building construction, for which 1t SAID
complete data are not yet available.
54,S5l Factories Report.
Also it was noted that in comparing
the September report with that OF tne
previous month the bureau based ltS re-
port for last month on statistics re-
ceived from 54,85l factories in 10 ma lor
industrial groups, employing 4,24oioo
workers. while for August the statistics
were based on reports received from
64 1862 establishments in 16 industrial
groups. employing 4,167,2l5 workers.
Paw roll earnings for September as
reported by the 54,85l establishments
were S79.436.136, while the earnings for
August as reported by the 64,762 fac
tories were $4,000 459. In other words.
there was an increase of l.69l Work
ers in September over August and IN
crease of pay roll earnings for the same
period of S483, GIT.
The August report showed there we're
l0,462 establishments in the construc-
ton industry reporting to the bureau.
The data submitted showed there were
$4,000 workers employed, drop OF 2
per cent under the July figures. Pri-
vate indices and Secretary of Com
merce Chaplin have indicated that in
September the construction industry
reached a new low point, but a better
sentiment in this field has been noted
during this month.
Due TO Seasonal Industries.
Seasonal industries, it was pointed
out in the report. were responsible for
September increases. The canning and
preserving industry reported an increase
in employment of 27 per cent and Is
per cent in pay rolls in comparison
with August. Anthracite mining added
IA per cent more workers and increased
its pay rolls at the same percentage and
the retail trade group of this industry
noted a gain of per cent in number

the rate that has been in force for over
two months. Time money rates, on the
other hand, declined sharply and are
now at the lowest point of the current
year.
Prices moved contrary to the business
trend, with general tendency toward
lower levels. Stock prices were under
the preceding week, with bonds expe-
riencing declines in a lesser degree.

Domestic Business Better.

Meantime, the Commerce Depart
ment reported a continuance OF moder-
ate expansion in domestic business
activity during the week ending Octo-
ber g.
In its weekly review of the situation
the department noted steel mill activity
was slightly higher, while another
heavy" industry, bituminous coal pro-
duction, showed an increasing seasonal
demand for industrial fuel. Automo-
bile production extended its seasonal
downturn.

Of per cent in pay rolls. Employment
in bituminous coal mining was 5 pei
cent above the August level and pay
rolls were IA per cent higher than the

individual groups, crude petroleum pro.
ducing, telephone and telegraph, power

alton. hotels and laundries decreases in
employment, combined with slightly
, larger declines in pay rolls, were re-
ported. The decreases in employment

The bureaus statement added
Employment in manufacturing in

porting the most pronounced gains in

Exhampton."
She was trying to determine the exact
cause of Violet Willetts nervousness.
The girl was clearly on the jump.
Something was frightening her-and
frightening her badly. She mentioned
Capt. Trevelyan's name bluntly on pur-
pose. The girl didn't noticeably react
to 1t in any way, but then she was prob
ably expecting some such reference.
Yes, wasn't it dreadful?"
do tell me-that's II you don't mind
talking about it?"
"No-no-of course not-why should

There's something very wrong with
this girl" thought Emily. She hardly
knows what she's saying"
About that table turning" went on
Emily. II heard about it in a casual
sort Of way and 1t seemed to me so
frightfully interesting mean so sbso-
lutely gruesome"
"Girltsh thrills she thought to her
self, that's my line"
"Oh, it was horrid," said Violet. THAT
evening" shall never forget it, We
thought, of course, that It was some
body just fooling-only it seemed a very
nasty kind of joke"
"Yes?"
"I shall never forget when we turned
the lights on-eyerybody looked so
queer. Not Mr.. Duke and Maj. Burma
by-they are the stolid kind, they would
never like to admit that they were i'm
pressed by anything Of that kind. But
you could see that Mai Burnaby was
really awfully ratified by it. 1 think
that actually he believed in it more than
anybody else. But I thought poor little
Mr.. Rycroft was going to have a heart
attack or something, and as for Ronnie.
Ronnie Garfield you know-he looked
as though he had seen a ghost-ac-
tually seen one. Even mother was
awfully upset-more than I have ever
seen her before"
1T must have been most spooky -
said Emily. 'T wish I had been there
to see.'
1T was rather horrid really. We all
pretended 1t was-just fun, you know,
but it didn't seem like that. And then
Maj. Burnaby suddenly made up his
mind to go over to Exhampton and we
all tried TO stop him, and said he would
be buried in a snowdrift. but he would
go. And there we sat, after he had
gone, all feeling dreadful and worried
And then, last night-no. yesterday
morning-we got the news"
You think it was Capt. Trevelyan's
spirit?" said Emily in an awed voice.
or do you think it was clairvoyance
or telepathy7"
"Oh, don't know. But shall never,
never laugh at these things again"
The parlor maid entered with q folded
piece of paper on q salver which she
handed to Violet. Violet unfolded the
paper, glanced over 1t and handed it to

oil men DISTURBED
OVER STATE CONTROL
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press
TULSA, Okla, June 3o.-Oklahoma
oil men are restless and wondering
about the future due to the unprece-
dented situation created at Oklahoma
CITY by Gov. William H. Murray in
taking over complete control of that
pools operation.
So far the only information available
is that operators will await the out
come of a meeting at Oklahoma City
July II to determine the extent OF
pool operations under the new regime,
That meeting is expected to be a
stormy one - especially II the Gov
ernor's order that enforcement ex-
penses shall be paid by assessing the
operators is carried out.
The order provides that Is cents per
100 barrels production shall be paid to
the Governors PrUration Board. OF
which his kinsman, Cicero I. Murray,
is chairman, for expenses.
The Indian Territory Illuminating
Oil Co. and the Empire companies,
Cities Service subsidiaries with head
quarters at Bartlesville, are keeping in
close touch with the situation, as are
Phillips Petroleum at Bartlesville and
Skelly and SinclairPrairie at Tulsa.
These are the companies with largest
holdings in Oklahoma City, and the
ones considered most likely to take an
aggressive stand unless satisfactory
methods OF operation, without addi-
tional expense, are worked out in Okla
homa City.
A persistent rumor was that a Fed
eral court test of the Governors order
would be made. Gov. Murray has
scored what he termed the inferior
Federal courts" time after time, and
has frequently declared his executive
power is superior in State matters to
Federal court power.

INSTALLMENT XVII.


y ITTAFORD HOUSE had a solid
oak front door. and a neat bell
pull, an immense wire mat and
~ a brilliantly polished brass letter
box. It represented, es Emily
could not fail to see, comfort and de-
corum. A neat and conventional parlor
maid answered the bell.
Emily deduced the journalist evil had
been before her as the parlor maid said
at once in a distinct tone, Mrs. Willett
is not seeing any one this morning"
Il have brought note from Miss
Percehouse," said Emily.
This clearly altered matters. Emily
was ushered into what house agents de-
scribe as "a well appointed nall, and
from there into a large drawing room.
A fire was burning brightly, and there
were traces of feminine occupation In
the room. Some glass tulips, an elabo-
rate wardrobe, girls hat and Plerrot
doll with very long legs were lylng
about. There were, she noticed, no
photographs.
Having taken in all there was to see,
Emily was warming her hands in front
OF the fire when the door opened and
a girl about her own age came in. She
was a very pretty girl, Emily noticed,
smartly and expensively dressed, ana
she also thought she had never seen
girl in greater state of nervous appre-
hension. Not that this was apparent
on the surface, however. Miss Willett
was making a gallant appearance OF
being entirely at her ease.
Good morning" she said, advancing
and shaking hands. I'm so sorry
mother isn't down, but she's spending
the morning in bed"
"Oh, 1 am so sorry. I'm afraid l
have come at an unfortunate time"
mo, Of course not. The cook Is
writing out the recipe for that cake
now. We are only too delighted for
Miss Percehouse to have it. Are you
staying with her?"
IT am not exactly staying with her,
said Emily. In fact, I'm at Mrs. Cur
It's"
"Of course, the cottage is terribly
small. and she has her nephew, Ronn1e,
with her, hasn't she? She's wonder
full person, isn't she? So much char
acter. always think, but l am rather
afraid of her, really"
"She's a bully, isn't she?" agreed
Emily, cheerfully. But it's an awful
temptation to be a bully, especially If
people won't stand up TO you"
Miss Willett sighed.
"I wish l could stand up to people, "
she said. We've had the most awful
morning, absolutely pestered by re-
porters."
"Oh, of course" said Emily. This is
