3-CENT RISE AIM
Of MILK QUIZ

An increase Of to 4 cents a
gallon in the price paid to milk
producers, without any rise in the
cost to the consumer. is being
sought by officers of the Mary
land-Virginia Milk Producers AS
sociation.
This was revealed today by
Elwood Seal, counsel to the Sen
ate milk investigating committee,
who said the recent hearing on
the milk situation indicated the
farmer is not getting his fair
share Of the retail price of milk.

efforts to obtain a price boost.

SCHOOL JOB PAY
Up MONDAY

Hopeful of reaching an agree
ment in the long row over wages
of workers on construction Of the
Phelps Vocational School here,
interested parties will hold a con-
ference Monday.
Those who will confer are
Dominic Catalano, head of the
Catalano Construction Company,
of Baltimore, which is building
the school; William F. Kelly, at
torney for Catalano, in whose
office the meeting will be held,
and Albert A. Stern, attorney for
the workmen. Kelly also repre-.
sents the bonding company for
Catalano.
The Catalano Company was
found sometime ago to be paying
less than the prevailing wage to
workmen on the school and, after
a public hearing, the District
Commissioners threatened to re-
woke the contract. The con-
tractor then promised to pay the
workmen sum to cover the back
paw due them,

D. c LIQUOR
STATUS
Attorney General Prepares
Brief on Capitals Place Fol-
lowing Prohibitions Repeal

The status of the District Of
Columbia following the repeal Of
prohibition probably will be known
by the time the sale of liquor IS
legalized, it was learned today
with information from Attorney
General Cummings that brief on
that subject is in preparation.
Some have expressed fear that
legal confusion may result as to
whether or not residents OF the
Nations Capital would be allowed
to buy their drinks legally in the
District or transport liquors into
this city and be within the law
after the Twenty-first Amend
ment has been added to the Con-
stitution.
The Volstead Law
It has been pointed out that al
though the Twenty.first (repeaD
Amendment automatically makes
the Eighteenth Amendment in.
operative, the Volstead law is still
on the statute books and that the
District would be governed by the
provisions of the Volstead law.
Others have felt that the Vol
stead statue would go with the
Eighteenth Amendment and the
District will be open to liquor
traffic.
Brief Under Way
Attorney General Cummings,
however, said today that although
his department does not give
opinions on matters of law until
such opinions are asked by au-
thoritative officials, the question
of the Districts status if the
Twenty first Amendment becomes
effective has been the subject of
some study and that a brief will
be ready probably by the time this
department. is asked to render an
opinion on the matter.

D. c. TRANSIENT
PLAN LOOMS

The District Emergency Relief
Committee, headed by Sidney F.
Taliaferro. will meet next week
to complete a plan for admins
tering a 100000 fund for tran
sient relief to be sought from the
Federal Government.
The District applied for the
money some time ago, at which
time Alan Johnstone, field agent
of the Federal Emergency Relief,
and Morris Lewis, in charge of
the transient work of the Federal
unit, indicated the money would
be granted if and when the Dis
trict perfected a satisfactory ad-
ministration plan.
To this end local relief heads
have been working for some time
past and the plan now needs
only addition Of a few minor
details. These are expected to
be completed when Taliaferro's
committee meets, when the re-
quest for the money will be re-
newed.
Under the present set-up there
is no provision for needy tran
sients here to receive aid from
public funds.

Wallace Sees
No Vacation
This Year

At least one member Of
President Roosevelt's Cabinet
will probably have no vacation
this year.
He is Henry A. Wallace, Sec
retary of Agriculture, who has
been working untiringly since
March 4 to straighten out the
tangled skeins of the nations
farm problems.
At the Department Of Agri-
culture today it was unoffi-
cially said that wallace has
taken no time off from his
duties so far, and probably will
not be able to this year.

Allotment of more than $2,O0O.-
600 to the Navy late yesterday by
the Board of Public Works for

be of no benefit to the local

today.

amounts varying from $4,000. to

A. F. |, To FIGHT
CLERKS FOES

Relations between the Amer"
lean Federation of Government
Employees and the American Fed
Grafton of Labor will be even
closer in the future than in the
past, it was indicated today. AS
an immediate consequence OF
this, the A. F.. of L. traditional
policy of "rewarding friends and
Furnishing enemies" will be ex'
tended to members of Congress
who have interferred, for good
or i'll, with the affairs of Gov
enrment workers.
This was strongly intimated
even before the recent A. F. G.
E, convention, when that group
pointed out to prospective mem
bers that the support of the
rapidly growing A. F. Of L.
would make possible an inten-
sive national campaign in con-
gressional districts on behalf OF
Federal employees.
Federal employees in the classi'
fled civil service. of course, are
barred from political action, and
the A. F. G. E. consequently
comes under certain disabilities.
These disabilities, in no way at
feet the A. F. of L.
Now that the A. F. G. E. has
been taken so closely under the
wing of the A. F. of L. there is
apparently a tactit understanding
that the latter organization will
make the fight of the former
it's own.

TEACHERS FAIL
7 D RECEIVE
LIVING WAGE
Education President Appeals
for Emergency Funds;
Whole System Hit

The assertion that "the only
way the present educational emer-
gency can be met in some Sec
tionS of the country is for the
Federal Government to make an
emergency appropriation for pub
lie education" was made by
Charles A. Lee, president of the
National Council of State Super
intendents and Commissioners Of
Education today.
Lee made this statement dur.
ing an address before a meeting
of the council which opened in
the Interior Building today and
will last for three days. He said:
"While we are on every hand
curtailing our educational pro-
gram, we are still going strong
with our rOad-building program.
In some States the State as a
unit is raising ten times as
much for building highways as
it is for public education. This
implies that highways are far
more important than educa-
tiOn."
Living Wage Wanted
Lee, in reporting the problem
which he found from survey Of
the various States, said that lin
many instances, the teachers are
not receiving a living wage" He
added:
"The reports indicate that in
same States more than OnehaH
of all the teachers employed
will not during this entire year
receive $4OO for their services,
which is only about half the
amount which the Federal Gov
ernment has said through the
various codes that industry
should pay for the lowest type
of unSkilled labor"
He asserted that States have
been unable to pay their teachers
in some cases for as far back as
two years, and that the total
amount of unpaid salaries for
teachers now is in excess OF
$4O,OO0,000.
Pupils on Increase
He also found, he told the con-
ference, that the number of chill
'dren per teacher has increased
materially during the past two
years, and that as result teach
ers cannot maintain an adequate
standard of instruction.
Curtailments of the necessary
funds for educational purposes, he
reported, has reduced the super
visory forces. resulting in lessened
efficiency; has prevented provi-
sions being made for necessary
books and facilities: has curtailed
the health and physical education
programs and. in some cases. re-
suited in elimination Of public
schools.

Merchants Report Big Rise in
Sales as NRA, Hearst Cam
paign Gains HeadWay

Washington's department stores
are noticing a decided upSwing in
business.
That is the latest development
in the study of the effect Of the
NRA and the BUY in September"
campaign being made by The
Washington Times. Local flor
lists, druggists, photographers,
bookdealers and jewellers also
have reported recent gains in
sales.
Praising the "Buy in Septem-
ber" movement, being pushed by
The Times and other Hearst news
papers, James Rotto, advertising
and sales manager Of the Hecht
Company, said:
"SaIeS have been considerably
higher in the past six weeks. I
believe most retailers also have
felt this increase. Your buying
campaign is certainly all right"
Dealers Stock Up
Rotto said local retailers have
bought millions of dollars worth
of goods recently, in anticipation
of price rises. This would not
have been done, he said, unless
the merchants had been sure that
business would pick up.
Goldenberg's likewise has been
experiencing the effects of the
New Deal. Harry Ullman, man
ager, reports:
Business is better than it was
last year at this time. The in.
crease is enough to give us great
encouragement"
Robert Isbel, advertising NAH.
ager of Kings Palace, has noticed
change in the buying habits of
the public. He states:
"There has been an obvious
improvement in sales since the
first of August. There is a bet
ter buying spirit abroad. This
applies not only to advertised
products, but to general mer-
chandiSe. Septe m bcr has
started off very well in Kings
Palace, and many of our depart B
mentS are running far ahead Of
their last years figures"
He added that signs point to a
return of normal buying.
Sales I'm 20 Per Cent
A similarly encouraging state
ment comes from the Palais
Royal. A. C. Case, manager, as
serts that the sales of this store
are, on an average, about 20 per
cent ahead of sales for the same
period in 1882. He said:
conditions are very Satisfac-
tory, in spite of the recent bad
weather. There is no tremen-
dOus gain in volume SO far, but
there is an obviously increas-
ing market"
Wellstood White, manager Of
Dulin and Martin, believes the
fact that business is better than
it was last year gives every rea-
son for everybody to be optimis-
tic.
These reports form concrete
evidence of the success Of the
NRA and the "Buy in Septem-
ber" movement. With more money
being put into circulation, jobs are
bound to increase. And more jobs
means more prosperity.

American!"

TAHLEQUAH NEWS ITEMS
BY Louise Dahl

Old Man Winter descended upon
Tahlequah last week, delivering such
a wallop that most Of the folks took
the count, at least so far as their
plumbing was concerned. The entire
water system supplying the Gilbert
Smith and O. r. Roediger properties
was wrecked by the freeze. followed
by cave-in. Two days were required
to clear the debris and get the system
in operation. Water pipes froze up
at every other place here, causing no
little damage and peck Of trouble.
DR.. John O. Siegle spent Sunday
trying to take the S curve out of his
bulkhead, which was damaged by re-
cent storms. The job was not an easy
one, but as DOC" is a dentist, and
naturally accustomed to working in
crooked root canals, he showed con-
siderable speed.
The well-known Tahlequah corr
munity spirit was in evidence Sunday
when several residents on the East
part Of the beach assisted Harold
Oliver, son of James Oliver, in starting
construction work on his new home
and chicken ranch. Fred Smith acted
as boss carpenter, and his assistants
included Eddie Holmes, DR.. j. @. siegle
and L. j. Thaller.
