These increases represent Volun- tary raises in practically all in- stances. The number of csta blish- ments reporting wage rate de- creases continued to decline, only 1,824 workers being affected in the 38 establishments reporting de- creases.
 Miss. Perkins said the industries hardest hit by the depression are registering the greatest employ ment gains. These include brick. lumber, stone, clay and similar ac- tivities. Durable goods also showed increased employment.
 One dark spot was that employ ment in retail trade decreased AZ per cent during the month. This may have resulted because the in- creased purchasing power created by re-em ployment has not yet spread to retail stores. Seasonal decreases in buying also played a part in the decreased employment.
 The secretary pointed out that despite the increase in payroI!s, the index figures for wages con- tinued to lag far below that of employment. In normal years wages and employment usually fol- low the same line.

AS the first test case of the state
beer control act in Marion county

noon, the defendant Martin Levy,
proprietor of Levy's Kosher E<itch-
en-, 1913 South Meridian street,
warned restaurant owners and citi-
zenS against an attempt to raise an
unauthorized defense fund in his
behalf.
Levy said he had received re-
ports that persons were visiting city
restaurant men and collecting mon
ey to defend him for the sale OF
80 beeer without license.
81 have authorized no one to
collect money for my defense. Id
appreciate any one approached in
this fashion to telephone me. Some
ones trying to make a racket of
this" Levy said.
Arrest of Levy followed his open
violation of the beer act due to d
ruling of Criminal Judge Frank P.
Baker, holding the beer licensing
and control act unconstitutional

Backing Proposed Law.

Minimum taXicab rate of 10 cents
for each three-quarters of mile
is asked in an ordinance filed today
with City Clerk Henry o. Goett to

brought down to 10 cents for each
mile and a third, due to price cut
ting which began with the advent of
milder weather. The company not
joining in the ordinance request also
has maximum charge of IS cents

of which he was an ardent member.
He was arrested recently on a

Martial Law Is Declared in
Third County of Revolt
District.
100 ARE UNDER ARREST
Soldiers Spread Out With
Orders to Seize Mob
RingIeaderS.
BY w. III. MILLHAEM

United Press STAFF Correspondent
LIE MARS, Ia, May Marital
law extended into third Iowa
county today as national guards
men continued with military pre-
cision their drive to arrest the
leaders Of the corn belts farm re-
volt.
A detachment of fifty troopers
was dispatched to Primghar in
O'Brien county, and Immediately
arrested seventy-tWo hen as al
legged leaders in the revolt. Eleven
others were sought.
Already twenty-five men are I'M
der arrest here, the county seat of
Plymouth county and at Denison,
county seat of Crawford county.
Colonel Glenn c. Haynes, ma
tional guard commander here, an
nounced that Leon Powers, assist
ant attorney general, and Judge
Advocate Frank Halligan are en-
route here to determine whether
the prisoners will be subjected to
military court martial, or will be
given a civil trial.
All Courts Closed
The troops were ordered out fol-
lowing the attempted lynching of
Judge C. c. Bradley. At Denison,
General Matthew A. FINLEY said to-
day he hoped to mop up" the farm
revolt swiftly and restore Crawford
county to civil rule within the next
two days.
All courts, including justice of the
peace courts, were closed today, as
military law was enforced strictly. 1t
was probable, however, that men ar
rested, all for alleged offenses COM
mitted before martial law was in
augurated, would be given civil
trial.
The military leaders hoped by
prompt action at Primghar to halt
definitely the entire movement,
since both Colonel Haynes and
General KinIey at Denison were
convinced that the same ringlead-
erS were involved.
Church Goers Garry Guns
There was the further incentive
behind prompt military maneuvers,
it was believed, of showing to the
National Farmers Holiday ASsocia-
ton, which meets 5000 strong at
Des Moines Wednesday to formu-
late plans for a possible national
farm strike.
Sunday, scenes at churches re-
sembled pioneer days. Pensioners
went to their country chapels with
revolvers in their pockets. Steel
helmeted troopers deployed over the
area and machine guns were posted
at strategic points. At Camp
Flaugher, where the guardsmen are
stationed, the scene resembled a
military post in battle
Hardware dealers in surrounding
towns reported that their ammuni-
ton supply had been exhausted.
Violent Storm Strikes
Adding to already disrupted con-
ditions, violent storm struck here
over the week end No fatalities
were reported, but several barns
were damaged and thousands of
dollars worth OF cattle were killed
More than an inch of rain soaked
the clay ground, making travel al
most impossible.
The first ten suspects in the at
tack on Judge Bradley brought in
by troopers were placed under
guard, five in Sioux City and five
in the guardhouSe mere.
The five were taken to Sioux City
after authorities were informed of
a purported plan of farmers to at
tack the camp and release their
comrades.
