MARYLAND Jobs
INCREASE BY $4,000
Employment Has Risen to

BALTIMORE, July I-Approxi-

men in the Civilian Conservation Corps.
have been put to work in Maryland
during the past three months, accord
ing to a report just issued by DR.. j.
Knox Insley, State commissioner OF
labor and statistics.
Employment in Maryland has risen
80 points from 644 per cent of normal
in March to 68.3 per cent at the end OF
May. according to DR.. Insley, while
pay rolls have risen SIS points from Al A
to 469 per cent. In Baltimore employ
to 636 per cent while pay rolls have
risen SIS points from Ala to 46.9 per
cent.
Employment has risen faster in the
counties, while wages have risen faster
in Baltimore" DR.. Insley said. Both
employment and pay rolls fell lower in
Baltimore than in the rest of the State
and pay rolls much lower than empoy-
ment.
There have been further gains in
June both in pay rolls and in employ
ment Normally, there is a decided
decrease in both items during April,
May and June in this State, the last
increase being in 1929-and the only
one in 10 years until this year.
AIRY increase, accordingly, Is en-
couraging, as it shows decided re-
ve,sal of seasonal as well as general
trend
incidentally. the pay roll increase
does not represent higher wages so
much as longer hours. Most industrial
plants had been on severely curtailed
production basis. The hours of work
are now much nearer to normal, and
the employees naturally are earning
more money at the same wage scale"

GEORGIA IN MIDST
OF TURBULENT TIMES
Gov. Talmadge Stands Fast With
Martial Law While Court
Action Impends.

ATLANTA. Ga. July 1.-Dispassion-
ate Observers call the past fortnight the
most turbulent period the government
of Georgia has experienced since the
climax of Federal reconstruction.
For the first time since 1893, when
William j. Northen, rigid churchman,
ordered out trops to prevent purposed
commercial f1sticuff on Georgia soil be-
tween Champion James ]. Corbett and
Charley Mitchell from England, Gov
ernor of the State has invoked martial
law to execute his intention
But, whereas Northen employed the
injunction of TIE bayonet to forestall
a violation of State law, Gov. Eugene
Talmadge resorted to the mandamus Of
the machine gun to GUST political oppo-
nents. and has maintained military
force since then to prevent those foes
from seeking redress in the courts OF
the State
Talmadge and his ieutenants say
martial law was justified in the refusal
of two of the three members OF the
State Highway Commission to yield to
his program for the elimination OF ex-
travagance and incompetence in the
expenditure Of millions Of dollars an
nually. ..s-4--,,

DEMOCRATIC RULE
FULL IN ILLINOIS
Republicans Divided and Lack
Strong Leadership
Tax Unpopular.
BY RUTHWELL DUNCAN.

CHICAGO, July 1-Politically IllinoLs
Tor the time Is Democratic State. A
Democrat is Governor, and all State
offices are filled by members Of that
party. The General Assembly, now at
the end Of its long session, was con-
trolled by Democrats in both houses.
Chicago and Cook County, representing
more than half the population OF the
State, are In the hands Of the Demo-
Gratis. That is what resulted from
State and local Republicanism run to
seed, and from the national upheaval
Of last November.
Republicans see no immediate pros
pect for change in this set-up. They
are divided and without strong leader
ship. A grand jury is considering in
dictment Of the State treasurer under
the last Republican regime. when EN-
merson was Governor. In Chicago
scandalous conditions have been re-
vealed in the administration of the
West Parks district under the board
named by Emmerson, and Of which one
of his most intimate friends was chair
man.
The behavior Of the Democratic State
Legislature has been disappointing in
many respects, but not more so than
that of most State Legislatures or IS
much as some. Several good measures
can be credited to it, many more dubious
and a few wholly bad-such as the bill
legalizing dog track racing as a gam
bling institution. There IS hope that
the Governor may veto it.

NEVADA INTEREST
KEEN IN ROOSEVELT
Divorce Action Expected to Be
Filed Through Elliott or Wife.
Attorneys Republican.

RENO, New, July 1.-The presence In
Nevada, on the eastern shore of Lake
Tahoe of Elliott Roosevelt, son Of the
President Of the United States, has
given this State more than an ordinary
interest Id Washington affairs of late,
particularly Reno, where Elliott visits
occasionally. While his home is at pres
ent in another county, In Douglas, it is
likely that the contemplated divorce suit
will be filed here.
1t apparently has not yet been de-
cided whether young Roosevelt will file
for divorce or whether his wife, the
former Elizabeth Browning Donner will
file the action, based on the residence
OF her husband. Roosevelt's attorney
and the one who will represent his wife,
are both high In Republican political
circles. Samuel Platt, attorney for
Elliott. Is a former United States attor-
ney for Nevada and was twice candi-
date for United States Senator. Lester
D. Summer1eld, who win be counsel for
Mrs. Roosevelt, was district attorney

OHIO IS FEELING
UPTURN IN TRADE
Gov. White Is Having Trou-
bIes With BaIky
Legislature.
BY ]. H. GALBRAITH.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, July 1.-Ohio
has probably had no more serious gov
ernmental problems thrust upon it by
the depression than other States. but
Gov. White, it seems, has been singu-
larly unfortunate in dealing with them
through the Legislature. Though there
is a reliable majority of his party men,
bers in each branch. the Legislature
has stubbornly refused to follow his
direction.
He urged the sales tax as the method
Of securing the bulk of the increased
jected it. The majority proposed to
take one of the cents per gallon levied
on gasoline sales for road maintenance
and use it for schools. The Governor
has just told the Legislature that he
would disapprove that.
Adjournment with nothing done to-
ward securing additional revenues seems
certain now. Gov. White suggests that
he will call the Legislature in special
session in the Fall to take up the subject
again. In connection he intimated that
the schools might not open in Septem-
ber but he would have them open by
Thanksgiving day-and that has aroused
a storm of protest from school people
all over the State.
Renewed Activity.
Industrial Ohio feels the thrill of re-
newed activity, with the Mahoning
Valley iron plants at more than SO per
cent capacity operation, the Akron rub
Der plants at nearly full capacity and
the automobile and automobile acces-
sorry plants getting under way. The
Ohio farmer is greatly benefited and
encouraged even before the Federal
legislation in his interest gets into oper-
alton. The Ohio wheat crop is good
better than average, and it is coming
from the thresher to meet dollar wheat
at the market door, But cold, wet
weather early in the Summer delayed
corn planting nearly a month and
greatly reduced this crop acreage and
that of oats A short corn crop is in
dicated unless frost should be unusually
late.
There is severe criticism, not all from
the Republican side, of the attempt of
the Democrats to make the Home Loan
administration in this State party spoils.
State Chairman Henry Drummer is a
candidate for chief administrator, and
it is said that the 400 positions under
that Federal law in this State will be
given to Democrats.

Church Issue to the Front.
The old issue between the low and
high church divisions of the Episcopal
Church was brought to the front here
this week, when Right Rev. James

that he did not expect to perform any

loughs without pay" today.
Among those who lost their jobs were
nearly 200 agents, leaving only 140 OF

for such small fry as speakeasies. Mar

miniStrator, said his men would con-
centrate on manufacturers and big dis
tributors of liquor.
Taking Beer Law Seriously.
This leaves the field virtually open
for the sale of all kinds of liquor here,
the only worry of the speakeasy owner
being the possibility Of violating the
State beer law and thereby losing his
license Curiously enough, the men
who have sneered openly at the Federal
law for thirteen years are taking the
beer law seriously. They believe 1t
