BOSTON. August 5.-James Roose-
welt, son of the President, was dis
closed as the chief distributor of
Federal patronage in Massachusetts,
when it was learned last week that his
influence at the White House resulted
in the making Of at least three i'm
portant appointments over the heads
of the two United States Senators and
the National Committee members from
this State.
These appointments are of George
C. sweeney of Gardner to be assistant
United States Attorney General, and
Joseph P. Carney also of Gardner, to
be collector Of the port at Boston,
Democrats, and former Gov. Alvan T.
Fuller Republican, to administer pub

the national recovery act.
This disregard displayed toward the
politicians to whom such appointments
generally are submitted for approval
was likewise extended to Mayor Curley
of Boston, who formerly was President
Roosevelt's warmest admire-. When

UNIONS SEEKING

Trying to Enter Automobile

Special Dispatch to The Star.
DETROIT, Mich, August 5.-The fu-
ture of the open shop in Michigan
under the Industrial Recovery program
Is the subject of much speculation fol-
lowing the visit last week of Gen.
Hugh S. Johnson.
Hesitancy of the automobile interests
to complete code, especially that part
of a code having to do with the ques-
ton of dealing with organizations Of
employees, caused delay in preparation
and ostensibly sent Mr. johnson to
Detroit to obtain a code, which he did.
While, it is understood, that there
will be no attempt by the administra-
ton to force organization of employees
in the automobile business. the code
recognizes the right of collective bar
gaining and there is much agitation
and work by officials of the American
Federation of Labor to force an organi-
Zation in automobile factories.
Almost Free of Unions.
In the past Detroit and other indus
trial cities have been almost free Of
labor unions Now, it seems, that union
men, encouraged into believing that the
code and its recognition of the right
Of collective bargaining, is good enter
ing wedge into unionizing the auto
mobile industry, which heretofore has
been one Of the few industries in which
trade unions have been barred success
fully.
The blanket increases given the auto
mobile employees previous to the
preparation of the code is looked upon
partially as an attempt to ward off the
threatened unionization of the employees.
Whether it succeeds is another question.
That desperate attempt will be made
by the unions to get into the industry
Is certain.
The bank situation, which it was
hoped for a time would be clarified,
is continuing to be badly muddled.
During the week the $4,000 stockhold-
ers in the two closed Detroit banks
were notified by Federal authorities
that the time had arrived for payment
of their 100 per cent assessment.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, August S.
With almost unanimous response In
diana employers this week signed the
N. r. A. blanket code agreement. thus
affording opportunities for work for
countless citizens who had been listed
among the unemployed
Francis Wells, representative of the
Department of Commerce, in charge of
the Indiana program, was deluged with
signed code agreements. At the last
count, which was far behind the flood
OF applications. more than 1000 firms
had signed, including 1000 from In
dianapolis alone.
Many Give Pay Boosts.
While Hoosier industry prepared to
place in operation shorter hours Of
labor and uniform wage scales in con-
formance to the recovery act, many
concerns announced wage increases.
Among these was the Auburn Automo-
bile Co. at Auburn, which ordered a is
per cent raise on the hourly pay. This
was In addition to 5 per cent in
crease made in May. The Mishawaka
Rubber & Woollen Manufacturing Co.
granted a similar increase and added
600 persons to the pay roll One hun
dred and IL miners empolyed in a CO.
operative mine in Gibson County re-
celved 25 per cent wage increase.
AS the drive to revitaliZe industry
swept over the State practically every
line OF industrial and commercial en-
deavor went into conference to draft
codes of shorter hours, increased pay
and additional opportunities for en-
ployment. Concerns Wed with each

Special DISPATCH to The Star


\ lew YORK, August 5.-While
n thousands of business organ
izations in this State were
conforming to the regulations
of President Roosevelt's blank
ct code, thereby raising pur-
chasing power and reducing unemploy-
ment, the State Legislature moved with
alacrity this week in attacking impor-
tant and difficult problems, the solution
of which will aid in the successful
operation of the Federal recovery pro-
gram in New York.
So spontaneous and extensive has
been the response in this area to the
Presidents appeal for higher wages and
a shorter work week, that officials in
charge of the N. R. A. here estimated
that workers in the metropolitan dis
trict would receive a total of 100000
more this week than last, providing
that those who have signed the agree
ments keep their promises. 1t Is be-
lieved that this rise in buying power
will continue to increase sharply during
the next few weeks, and that public
opinion will compel most OF the re-
calcitrant employers to cooperate in
the Nationwide drlVe against lne oe-
preston.
Gov. Lehman has urged the extra
ordinary session Of the Legislature to
sweep away all statutory obstacles
which might interfere with quick ac-
ceptance by the State or any OF its
units of Federal money for public works
under provisions of the national indus
trial recovery act. He also has an
,o,,pced hiS s,1DDort of hills which are
designed to suspend the operation of
the States antitrust laws when they
conflict with President Roosevelt's re-
covery program. These measures all
provide that any industrial code pro-
mulgated by the President would be-
come the law of New York State, en-
forceable by Injunction of the Supreme
Court and by fine of $500 for each

CHARLESTON, w. Va, August S.
Baked by the ambiguous phraseology
of the States new constitutional
amendment, limiting tax rates upon
various classes of property, Ievying
bodies In the cities and counties
throughout West Virginia met during
the week for their annual rate fixing
duties but many Of them were unable
to proceed because assessors reports
on valuations were delayed.
In order to maintain local govern
ments and provide the schools with
the additional funds they will need to
carry them for four or five months
beyond the four months guaranteed by
State aid, the various political SUBJ
divisions must raise a total Of ap-
proximately $4,000, 900 during the next
few months. In years gone by about
s42, ,000,0 900 has been raised annually
for these purposes, but then the county
courts, city councils and 800 school
boards could adjust tax rates to suit
demands. Now things are different.

|STEEL PRODUCTION
| IN SHARP. ADVANCE
Rate of Output Is Now %
Per Cent of Capacity,
Says Journal.
BY the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, April ia rise IN
steel ingot production to % per cent OF
capacity, the highest rate in about q
year and comparing with 1917 per cent
a week ago, was reported today by Iron
Age. The present rate is above the
monthly average for any month since
March, 1882, as computed by the AmeI-
lean Iron and Steel Institute
Almost every district except the At
lantic seaboard," said the survey, has
shown marked improvement within the
past week. The Pittsburgh district Is
now at Is per cent, the Chicago district
about % per cent, Cleveland is at IS
per cent, Youngstown and adjacent
Ohio districts at % per cent and the
Wheeling district at 40 per cent. There
have also been gains at Birmingham
and Buffalo. Aggregate orders received
by some steel companies thus far in
April are considerably in excess of their
entire March bookings"
Automobile and tin plate orders con-
tinue to be the leading influences in
lifting steel production, Iron Age said,
but there is evidence of greater divera-
fication of orders"
Some of the new steel business seems
to represent delayed March demand and
Is plainly OF seasonal character, but
there is almost complete absence of
speculative buying except to some ex-
tent in pig iron. and virtually all orders
are for immediate shipment, the urgent
demands making it difficult for mills
to meet delivery requirements"
The brewing industry is contributing
some orders, but many brewers are de-
laying plans pending a Qualification of
the outlook" Three issues of Iron
Age have listed brewing construction
projects totaling about S17,000,0 900.

GOVERNMENT BOND
PRICES ARE LOWER
"Commodity" and Convert
ibIe Issues Take Leader
ship in Trading.
BY CHARLES F. SPEARE.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, April 19-Striking price
changes featured today's active bond
market.
The decline of United States Govern
ment obligations, the advance OF So
called Commodity issues and con-
vertible debentures, the bidding for
bonds of silver currency countries" and
offerings of gilt-edged rail and public
utility mortgages presented some sharp
contrasts.
United States Treasury 4l4s of 1852
led the downswing in governments, los
ing more than a point in the forenoon
on further talk of initiation in Wash
ington, the weakness of the American
dollar in terms of foreign currencies
and statements about the ban on gold
exports, except under certain restric-
tions.
In contrast to the softness of Amer
lean Government loans was the strength
in foreign government bonds. At one
time the German 5l2s were up points
and the rs on the same movement were
up almost that much. United Kingdom
As of 1890 jumped l u points to 1875,
a new high for the past two years
During this bulge the 5 rs Of 1887 re-
gained portion of their earlier decline.
Initial offerings of Canadian govern
rnentS resulted from Ottawa dispatches
which told of decreased revenues of the
Dominion during the fiscal year ended
March 81 Meanwhile the securities OF
the Argentine government extended re-
cent rallies.
The rise of commodities was mir
rored in such issues as American Metal
SIPS, Chile Copper IS, Goodrich Tire &
Rubber convertible Is, Otis Steel first
IS. United States Rubber IS and Rem
ington-Rand 512s, with warrants. This
sort of bidding also was responsible for
the betterment in American & Foreign
Power IS and International Telephone
Debenture IS. These were sought as
silver futures rose, buyers pointing out
that silver countries generally should
benefit from any change in the rela-
tive positions of metals.

q betterment in many miscellaneous
trade lines and only q slight decline,

cal consumption last week.

ais at Washington sent commodities
skyward and brought brisk bidding for

actions in the first two hours were
nearly rs per cent greater than in the

FOR VET DEAD

NEW YORK G.N.SO.-One of
the most unusual plans to per
petuate the memory of heroes
who gave their lives for their
country, has been evolved by the
junior organization of the famous
77th Liberty) Division, which
went from New York in 1918 to
make history in France.
The children of the divisions
members, known as "The Sons of
the 77th," will each select the
name of some member of the
famous fighting outfit who was
killed or died in France, and
each year pay particular tribute
and remembrance to that hero.
The 1890 dead of the Division
thus will each receive individual
remembrance, as the children will
communicate each year with the
surviving parents or other rela-
tives of the man who was killed
or died in the service of the ma
ton,
