SEWARD, Alaska, Sept. 20
Tom Olson, fisherman of Ketchi-
kan and Seattle, lost his life when
he was swept overheard from the
deck of the halibut schooner Su-
perior while fishing last Wednes-
day off Seal Rocks.
Other members of the crew were
also swept overheard but they were
assisted back by their more for
tunate crew mates.
Olson was carried away from
the Superior and his rescue was
I'm ossible as the heavy seas
smashed the life boats and the
engines of the Superior were also
temporarily disabled
The tide was running against the
wind creating heavy swells.
One swell nearly capsized tbs
schooner and successive swells OF

Capt Nels Ford brought his YES
sci into port yesterday as several
members of the crew required med
ical attention and the vessel
needed repairs.

Consumer Doing His Part
Financier, Businessman

NEW YORK, Sept 29-Not only
the consumer must do his part
to produce prosperity, but the fl
nancier and business man must
be stimulated to action, Wall
Street economists say.
Business in things the consumer
buys normally totals only about
one half of the business of the
country and in depression the loss
in these lines is small compared
to the slump in producers goods
such as machinery and buildings.
1t is for this reason that Wash
ington authorities are expressing
concern over the decided lag in
such industries as building con-
struction and are pushing the

the example of the Stockholms

WASHINGTON, Sept. 20.
Strikes today dotted the
country from coast to coast.
Henry Ford, for many
years free from strikes, is be-
set by labor troubles in as
sembly plants in Chester, Pa,
Edgewater, N. j., and Rich

There are even threats by
the Chester strikers to go

The Ford officials have
withheld comment on the de-
mands, including a S. daily
minimum and seyen-hour day,
also union recognition which
would complete reversal of
the Ford policies.
Other Troubles
Other strikes included the
Pennsylvania miners walkout,
steel workers in Flint, Michi-
gan, auto and die makers and
bakery drivers in Philadel-
phia, silk industry in Pater-
son, N. j., and knitting work.

NEW YORK, Sept 29.-Today's
review of -Bradstreet, Inc, said
September is closing better than
it opened and under the acceler-
ated industrial recovery there is
a more vigorous consumer buying.
"The desire to build inventories
in advance of rising markets is
virtually ended, giving steadier
tone to buying movements and a
former base on which to plan
for future operation.

Projects Are Bigger than

By BYRON PRICE
(Chief of Staff, the Associated
Press, Washington

Press, Washington
Projects regarded by economists
as bigger than the NRA, bigger
than anything the government has
undertaken thus far, are under
discussion in confidential confer
ences in Washington.
Among them is a plan for cur
rency adjustment, probably on the
general idea of the commodity
dollar which would recast values
all along the line.
Accompanying that, and in some
degree coupled with it, is a pro-
posal to greatly expand govern
mental price-fixing, perhaps en-
comprising all the principal COM
modities.
One feature of the new pro-
gram is a possibility that it
may become a world program,
providing continuing but
flexible basis for both curren-
cy and prices in the interna-
tiOnal markets.
Details have not been settled
but it can be said positively that
in the present stage no serious
thought is being given to the is
suance of printing press money
with no definite backing. That
Mr. Roosevelt has been listening
to Senatorial advice on that sub
ject does not mean he agrees with
it.
He tried to pacify the Senators
who recently called on him by
promising to take some action as
soon as the time was ripe, but
he promised nothing more.

COMMODITY DOLLAR IN
FAVOR

The commodity dollar" method
of dealing with the currency is
looked upon with much favor in
high quarters, although it should
be borne in mind that actual de-
cisions remain to be made.
AS it now is under discussion,
the plan would be to fix the value
of the dollar every thirty days
by Presidential proclamation, on
the basis of the current value of
all commodities, for which a con-
solidatsd index figure would be
kept by government statisticians.
This value would have rela-
ton not only to gold. but to sill
yer. The actual operation of the
plan, as now envisaged, probably
would mean the coming of curren-
cy on a basis of three parts gold
to one part silver.
That, as the economists ex-
plain it, would mean in effect
the revolution of the dollar,
but along lines not hitherto
widely discussed.
Under present legislation, the
President has authority to order
revaluation, and some of his legal
advisers, at least, think the au-
thoriation would permit revalua-
ton every thirty days if found
desirable. That would mean that
the commodity dollar" could be
set up without further action by
Congress, and prior to the meet
ing of Congress in late January
