Three prices for crude oil again
prevail in Oklahoma, but this

ment of the new oil code this Sat
urday will force crude prices
higher than even the highest of
the three prices posted.
This would contrast with the
former situation when the lower

Oklahoma operators are looking
for 81 or higher oil when the new

SEES
NRA LASTING

Revolutionary though the
changes being brought about by
the NRA in labor conditions and
increased control of the Govern
ment over business may appear,
nevertheless they seem to fit
logically into a longer trend of
economic and social evolution,
Moody's Investors Service de-
clares in it's monthly survey of
business conditions.
Average weekly hours of labor
have declined from about 49 in
1918 to As in 1929 and to 35 to
40 at the present time under the
codes. The average was in eX-
cess of so hours at the beginning
of this century.
The analysis points out that
the laissez-faire system in its
pure form disappeared in this
country toward the end of the
past century and that it is only
logical that further inroads into
this system should have been
made following a decade when it
enjoyed relative renaissance with
apparently deplorable results.
Furthermore, the United States
has been one Of the few coun-
tries left in the world without
an elaborate system of state
socialism in one form or another.
So far as hours of work are
concerned, the trend has been
Enthusiastically downward for many
years, in reflection of rising pro-
ductivity of labor and machinery.
NRA is seen as merely acceler-
ating this trend.

CODE At FULL
CAPACITY

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Aug. 31.-A
spirited upward trend in business
was seen this week in the re-
port of E. Edwin Smith, vice
president Of the Nisley Company,
that his plant now is running
at approximately maximum ca
pacity.
Pay Roll at eak

tory of the organization. In the
plant alone, 1,10O persons are at
present employed under NRA

week, Including 200 workers
added in the last two months.
In his selling organization, the

also has been increased to meet
the demands of the code and
likewise increased sales.
All employees are on full time,
and sales, according to Mr.
Smith are decidedly above the
summer sales of 1882.
More Gains Ahead
Possibility of an even greater
increase in employment is seen
by Mr.. Smith, pending the ap-
pearance of fall sales.
He announced that retail
prices of shoes in the Nisley
Stores will increase next week
from 81 to $5, partially due to
a substantial increase in the cost
Of raw materials, and partially
to increased labor costs.

ORANGE CITY Ia, July IL
Twenty northwest Iowa farmers en-
tered court here Monday on

others were taken back TO Primghar

Thus ended possibly the last cpl
sode in six weeks of violent farm
unrest which climaxed April q with
