A comparison with conditions
prevailing in October of last year
shows that a decline in average
hours of work per week from 800
hours in October, 1882, to 36.2
hours in October, 1888, was more
than offset by an increase in
average hourly earnings from ala
cents to $40 cents. which raised
average weekly earnings from
S16.86 to $19.46, or 1874 per cent.
Living Costs Higher
The increase in the cost of liv-
ing, amounting to rs per cent.
was much less than the increase
in actual weekly earnings, and
real weekly earnings were 12.5
per cent higher in October of this
year than they were a year ago.

ployed rose 35 per cent, while
total man-hours worked increased

NEW YORK, Nov. % d.Ns).
Whatever it's monetary views,
Wall Street found the dollar too
strong for comfort yesterday and
sold stocks.
The result was a nasty spill,
which was helped along by the
noSedive in commodities.
Most of the selling was pro-
fessional yesterday, so that the
market wasn't really as bad as
it looked. At the same time the
persistent buying which has been
apparent for some time wasn't
there.
Rumors that the liquor industry
wasn't as much opposed to the
code as washington dispatches
suggested accompanied the rise
in the wet stocks.
The recent buyers of United
States Steel received somewhat of
a jolt yesterday. Failure of the
industry's operations to show any
pickup was a disappointment.
Strength in National Distillers
yesterday was helped by short
covering and scattered buying,

today to demanding money from the
King with menaces"
He was remanded to jail after hear

ing to extort money from King

mo Criminal Intention"
Haddon reserved his defense when 1t
was announced today that he must
stand trial
Il never had any criminal intention" /"

The 43-year-old jobless engineer
wrote letter to the King last June in
which he said he was forced to wash
his own dirty linen in a back room
"and that of the royal family in public
for living"
Haddon wrote he would have been
satisfied with $500 annually, or about
$4,000, and enough money to start a
modern boarding house"
This and other similar letters were
admitted as evidence at the original
hearing.
Released on Bail.
Haddon, who claims kinship with the

tween lawyers and the court before the

Another resolution unanimously
adopted, and directed at Representative

The Kinharts live OF land built up by
the Missouri River southwest of Modale,
Iowa, and on the Iowa SIDE of the river.
Court rulings, however, indicate the
land belongs to Nebraska, and the ques-
ton is now being fought out in the
courts.
Under such circumstances, Helen and
Irma could not be admitted to the
Modale Consolidated School without
tuition and could not enter Nebraska
schools because Of the cost Of toll fare
across the river. The Kinharts did not
possess the funds either for tuition or
tolls, so Mrs. Kinhart played the role
of teacher for her children.
Their story was told in an Omaha
newspaper, and Benjamin F. Ross,
Omaha business man, read 1t. As re-
suit, Helen and Irma will go to school
at Modale with their tuition and bus
fare paid by Mr.. Ross. Mrs. Kinart
