The leaflet was gotten out by a
group of us In the department getting
together, discussing our grievances
and then deciding to write the leaf
let. Everybody was satisfied that we
started some good work and everyone
joined the union.
The day the leaflet was distributed,
the overtime gypping stopped and we
intend to keep it stopped. That same
day the number of union men in that
department doubled.
This shows that the union can help
us in any department right away. The

Commodity Price
Changes of Week
BY H. N. McGILL.
McGiI Commodity Service. Inc.

AUBURNDALE, Mass, June % R-
Commodity prices again bounded up
ward, placing the composite index at a
level that measures % per cent over the
low last February. Ten out of IA in
dividual groups ruled higher, three
recorded no change, and only one
group, namely live stock, declined. The
substantial upturn from week ago is
largely attributable to the fuels, as
petroleum quotations recorded just as
sensational an increase as was noted
in the decline few weeks ago.
Industrial prices recorded one of the
Sharpest increases since the beginning of
the advance several months ago. In ad-
dition to sharply higher prices for fuels,
there were also advances in hides and
leather, non-ferrous metals, paint, ma
terialS, paper and pulp, and vegetable
oils The administration has made no
effort to stabilize the dollar and the
basic plan is to encourage higher prices
This In turn causes buying waves, first
for protection against higher levels and
as speculative opportunities. Buying
waves reduce inventories of both raw
materials and finished goods. The next
step is expanding industrial activity
which is the connecting link for an
other increase in employment, thereby
broadening purchasing power. The in
dustrial index now stands 18 per cent
over the low noted earlier in the year
Agricultural prices continued the ad
vance. movement that is sponsored
primarily bv the passage of the farm
relief act the effort to reduce acreage
and production. and the expectation
of monetary imitation. Although the
Winter wheat crop is radically under
average, the carryover Of wheat on
August ! represents supply that will
cope with total North American require
nents for practically a year.
Live stock quotations have moved
in an irregular manner in recent weeks
First an advance and then a decline
The price reaction in cattle. hogs and
sheep caused a setback during the
week.
Fuels recorded the greatest propor-
tionate increase during the week This
was primarily due to petroleum quota
tions, which in the midcontinent dis
trict increased from Is cents to So
cents. This represents an increase of
more than 100 per cent.
Non-ferrous metals climbed to new
high, due to a further upturn in the
price of quicksilver, silver, tin and zinc
Fine textiles were sharply higher
Cotton prices have experienced diff
Guilty in maintaining the upward
momentum, but averaged higher than
week ago Certain cotton goods were
also higher. Wool prices now are 88
per cent over the low earlier in the
year at level that will permit i'm
ports over the tariff. Silk prices also
averaged higher
Vegetable oils also reached a new
high, largely due TO the further mark
up in the price of linseed oil.
The three groups that remained un-
changed during the week were building
materials, chemicals and ferrous metals.
Most important price changes in the
McGill weekly price index-1926 equal
ing 100-were as follows:

EMPLOYMENT AND PAYR0LLS
 SHOWED FURTHER GAINS FOR
 AUGUST THROUGHOUT NATION
No Signs of Decline Registered From the July Level in Business Activity While Continued Expansion in Public Purchasing Power Was Indicated By Retail Sales Increase.

New York, July 9-Employment and payrolls showed further in- creases in August over July in all ,parts of tho country, and business sentiment improved generally. &C., cording to tho monthly business survey of Internationpl Business Machines Corporation, compiled from late August reports. The out look for fall business Is regarded as more promising than 1t has been for some years,s the survey stated.
 Though general business activ- ity showed no further increase during August from the July level there were unusually few signs of the decline in trade and manu- featuring activity which are nor mai for this season." the survey reported. Factories In many sec- tions of the country, and in many industries, continued to operate on full time, some of them working around the clock. Employment and payrolls for the country at large showed further substantial in- creases which In many cases were felt to be due, not only to the pro- visions of MIRA codes, but to act ual improvement in business"
 Continued expansion in public purchasing power was indicated by further increase in retail sales over the country, the survey point cd out. Department stores in most sections of the country, as well as large cknins and 0 number of the mail order houses, reported en- couraging volumes of business that have stimulated preparations for an unusually active fall season. AS those who have recently been re- employed pay off their debts &C., cumulated during employment, more of their current earnings will be available for general merchan- disc, and still further advance in retail sales should follow, the sur vey predicted.
 While activity in the iron and steel industry eased somewhat dur ing the early part of August fol- lowing three and half months of rapid expansion, the decline was not as great as normally occurs to- ward the end of summer, the sur. vey continued. Already number of steel works and rollings mills report a pickup, bringing their rates of operation back close to the July peak. Iron and steel pro- ducers expect this improvement to widen throughout their industry with the receipt of orders looked for from railroads and the auto mobile and construction industries, and also upon the general acceler- ation anticipated in all industry

How to Spend
 Winter Evenings
Subject Now Uppermost in Minds of Young
 People

Seme think nobody Is thinking of anything these times except politics. This is not 30. Large numbers of young people are not bcstowing n thought on the sub- Ject. Most of them are planning to attend social functions and uuits few arc longing for the day when tho night schools will open. All these things are well cnoagh. but the young man who Is bent on entering tho evening schools has the right idea. one may say there are too many scholars in the world today, who cannot find positions, but this Is the wrong attitude to take on such n question.
 Even though ono never got . po- sition where it would bn necessary to be well versed in mathematics, grammar, history or other studies, it is n nice thing to be familiar with them. It is no burden. It is doubtful If n young man could employ his time any better dur. Ing the winter season than attend- ing tho evening schools. This would not prevent him from going to show once in q while and taking n whirl in the dance hall with his best girl.

MANIFESTO HAS BEEN ISSUED TO
 HURT DE VALERA
New United Ireland the Authors of the Edict Call Themselves-Pres- ident Faces Battle

Dublin, Sept 9--(UP)-A mani- festo of the now United Ireland party to-day urged all voters to join in overthrowing President Eamonn de Valera. It denounced De Vaiera's "sham republicanism." General owen O'Duffy, president of the party and head of the banned fascist blueshirts, said the blueshirts would continue their activities even moro vigorously despite tho governments efforts to suppress them. The United Irish party, he said, stood for volun- tary reunion of the Irish nation.
 Tho party represents Q fusion of political clements opposed to De Valera. Former President William T. Cosgrave, closely associated with O'Duffy in its formation, de- fined 1t as san effort to consolidate national forces to restore Ire. lands markets, almost> ruined by the tariff war with Great Britain, and give the people Q chance to work out their destiny without governmental interference.

Wholesale trade likewise reported no decreases in any division, but 1t was unchanged in tho New England. the Middle Atlantic, the East North Central, the West North Central, the South Atlantic and the Mountain States, and showed improvement over the previous month in the East South Central. the West South Central and the Mountain States.

Old Houses in
 New Settings
Look Better Than Some of
 the Modern Structures

The advent of the automobile gave suburban property q big boost. This is especially true of old houses some of which had for years been regarded of but little value, and in many instance being abandoned as private residences and made to serve the purpose of storehouses. Now most of them are being repaired and converted into handsome country residences. A new veranda. coat of paint and a yard adorned with Q variety of shrubbery make quite a difference in the appearance of an old build- ing. Some who have made these changes say 1t Is much cheaper to live in them and own a car than pay high rent in congested dis tricts and use the trolley or bus.
 No doubt there is much truth in this. Of course people are not obliged to use the trolley. bus or motor car. but folks have become so accustomed to riding that walk ing has become almost q lost art, although the doctors say that n little of 1t is conducive to good health.
