YOUNG AMERICAN IS
VICTOR IN PLAY0FF
FOR BRITISH TITLE
Densmore Shute Of PHILADELPHIA
Captures Coveted Golf
Championship
LEADS FROM FIRST HOLE
Fivs-Stroke Margin Is Built Up
BY Fine Exhibition of
Shotmaking

st. Andrews, Scotland, July s.
(AP)-H. Densmore Shute, 2s-year-
old American professional from Phil.
adelphia, Saturday captured the
British open golf championship,
beating his countryman, Craig Wood
of Deal. N. j., in an all-America &c.
hole playoff.
Shute led from the first hole to the
last and defeated Wood by five
strokes with fine exhibition of all
around shotmaking.
The new champion shot the double
round in 75-74-149, only three
strokes over par for the So holes.
Woods score was 78-76-154.
Wood and Shute finished the reg
ulation u holes Friday tied at 292
after one Of the most exciting fin
ishes in the history of the tourna-
ment.
Shute succeeds to the title won
last year by another American, Gene
Sarazen, who failed by only one
stroke to tie the leaders. This is the
10th successive year the classic tro-
ply Of British golf has gone to a
representative Of the United States
Shute was too cnsistent with his
irons and too steady around the
greens for Wood, who dropped four
strokes at the outset with skies on
the first two holes and never was
able to overcome that handicap. He
was never closer than two strokes
behind and trailed by three at the
end Of the morning round.
Wood three-putted three greens on
the outgoing nine Of the afternoon.
This left him six shots behind and a
hopeless prospect. His par golf over
the last nine only trimmed one shot
from Shute's margin.

Washington, July 8.-R- The
American Railway association an.
nounced Saturday that car loadings
Of revenue freight for the week
ended July were 634074 cars, an
increase of 29.406 over the preceding

SIGHTS
TROUBLE AHEAD IN
RECOVERY EFFORT
Production Is Rising Faster
Than Purchasing Power
and Employment

Washington, July 8.-(P)-Aroused
by an increase Of production without
q compromising rise in employment,
President Roosevelt fastened Satur-
day to complete the new federal in
dustrial control establishment.
He invited Attorney Genral Cum
mings to go with him on an over
night cruise down the Potomac river
and called In advisors to solidify the
makeup of the new industrial ma
chine.
1t Is the fear of the administration
that some manufacturers are loading
their shelves at the expense Of labor
employed at long hours before the
new industrial codes go into effect.
Roosevelt wants the increased pro-
duction, If it Is legitimate from new
orders, to be met by the employment
of additional help as will be required
under the new codes.
Labor Meeting Held
The labor department called in Of
ficials from 26 states to shape q
framework for the new cooperative
employment service. At the sugges-
ton Of President Roosevelt, the recov-
cry administration sought means to
curb the squirt of production but at
the same time to assure new Jobs and
more pay now.
The state officials were from rs
commonwealth which already have
employment agencies. Their work is
to be coordinated through a federal
clearing house so that, If there Is an
unemployed bricklayer in one state
and Job for him in another, he may
be told about the Job
This agreement, called for by the
recently enacted Wagner-Peyser law,
is to assist in mobilizing workers for
the public construction program.
See Trouble Ahead
Roosevelt and Hugh s. johnson,
industrial administrator, were repre-
sented as concerned at the fact that
production and living costs had in
creased more since March than had
pay and the rate Of employment.
They were advised that some manu-
facturers were taking advantage Of
present low costs to lay up stocks of
goods for later sale at higher prices
That would have been all right had 1t
been done by the employment OF more
workers or had workers been given
more money.
But the president and johnson were
told that some producers simply were
working their present employees over
time.
To simulate agreements by indus
tries to limit hours and raise pay.
johnson Friday warned that II we
can't come along here with increased
purchasing power to support this
higher production I shudder to think
what will happen"
While he was making that state
ment, the American Federation Of
Labor, in q monthly survey. reported
that 100000 unemployed had gone
back to work from March to May but
hat the workers pay had risen only %
per cent while food costs were going
up 3.3 per cent.
