WORKERS HIRED.

WIN RULING
McCarI Decides 5-Day Week
Meets Economy Demand
in Vets Bureau

Comptroller General j. r. Nc
Carl, in a ruling made public to-
day, cleared up a matter that
has puzzled the Veterans Admin
istration, deciding that per diem
or hour workers hired for con:
struction jobs on a five and one
half day a week basis, if they
worked only five days and were
paid for the time they worked,
had been sufficiently docked by
the Economy Act and were not
subject to further reduction.
The Veterans Administration
originally reduced the working
time of these men, who are paid
prevailing wage scales in their
localities but who derive no bene.
fit from the Saturday half-holl.
day, from five and one-haf to
five days a week, and prepared to
one-elevenGh of their pay
if it we're decided that that were
the proper course.
However, discovering that plans
were being made on behalf of the
General Accounting Office to Su.
spend 8 1-3 per cent. of the
amounts earned by and paid to
these men, the Veterans Admins
tration asked further instructions.
The Veterans Administration
revealed that in spite of unem-
ployment conditions, turnover is
high on these jobs, for out of 724
working in October, 271 had quit
before November and 244 had
been hired.
A protest to the General Ac-
counting Office recited that it
would be impossible to track down
the men who had quit and to re- .
cover 8 1-3 per cent. of what
they had been paid.

As Firemen Save Nearby
Mill and Houses

Fire, famed by a 40-mile-an-
hour gale, yesterday wrecked the
general store of Mark Cockerille
at Colvin Run, Va, on the Alex
andria-Leesburg Pike. D a m g e
was estimated at $4,000 to the
frame structure and $4,000 to it's
contents.
A passing motorist gave the
alarm. Firemen from the various
Fairfax county companies re-
sponded, found their equipment
inadequate and turned in addi-
tional alarms. Several pieces OF
apparatus from Arlington county
were then dispatched to the scene,
which is 10 miles west Of Falls
Church.
Hose lines from a creek nearly
a half mile away were used to
extinguish the flames. Firemen
were able to keep the fire from
spreading to large mill and sew
eral other nearby buildings. A
number of small fires started by
sparks from the structure were
also eXtinguiShed.
Traffic on the highway was tied
up for more than an hour.

ADVANCE IN COTTON
IS we'll MAINTAINED
White House Announcement on
War Debt Discussions Proves
Aid to Market.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
Cotton prices added 8 points to the
advanced level obtained two weeks ago
and seemed to take some strength from
the White House announcement Of fur
ther war debt dscussion with the
British.
The trade was too occupied with the
possible effects of various farm relief
bills before Congress to give much at
tention to anything of less immediate
influence on cotton, but some took a
conservative view Of the announcement,
claiming debt settlement would revive
world trade in a large measure.
The average price of middling seven
eighths inch for the week was 6.06
cents pound, compared with sos for
the last two weeks and 6.23 for the
corresponding period last year. Janu-
ary future contracts at New. York ad-
vanced 2 points to 6.l2: at New Orleans,
9 points to GIG. and at Chicago de-
clined points to 6.22 cents. Distant
months eased of at the close under
pressure of moderate hedge selling.
Some cotton chart readers said the
action of the market during the last
few weeks closely resembled that which
occurred just before the August ad-
vance, which ran cotton up to better
than cents before the break. The
staple still Is in trading area, but
the way prices harden on each recession
suggests to many the advisability of ac-
cumulating contracts on the slightest
pressure. It seems to be the general
trade opinion that the market Is to be
bought on dips and sold for moderate
profits on every advance.

COINAGE Of silver
GAINS DURING YEAR
Demand for Metal Shows Ia.
crease in 1932-Market !
Has Been Strong.
BY CHAS. p. SHAEFFER,
Associated Press Business WRITER


Demand for silver in coinage was
heavier in 1882 than in any year since
1924, on the basis of statements re-
ceived by the Federal Reserve Board.
1t was estimated that consumption
in this field during the year was A.
100000 ounces. Germanv eaStinued
the minting or subsidiary pieces, while
the Mexican government acquired 23,-
100000 ounces to be coined into pesos.
Toward the years end Yugoslavia re-
quested tenders on slightly more than
5000. 900 ounces, although actually only
100000 ounces were bought
Frances demands were augmented
by the replacement with silver of the
5, 10, and 20 franc notes Of the Bank
OF France, although her supply of silver
bullion was adequate SO that no pur-
chases were necessary. Turkey has de-
cided to renew silver coinage, 1t was
said, although the amount will prob
ably be small. No Hong Kong dollars
were coined during the year.
During the year the total amount
Of silver arising from demonetization
and Indian government sales was 40
100000 ounces which, added to the
production estimate of l6O, 900 600
ounces, made total offerings Of 207,-
100000 ounces. Corresponding figures
for 1881 showed total offerings of 262,-
100000 ounces, of which $500, 900
ounces was derived from newly mined
metal and 6S,5oo,000 ounces from other
supplies.
Industrial demand declined mate
rally in 1882, the statement said. The
United States and Canada showed a
decrease Of nearly % per cent from the
1881 estimates, while Englands con-
sumption declined from 100000 to
5000, 900 ounces
Indian demand was said to be hard
to estimate, both because of the large
amount of silver smuggled into the
country, and the distress silver"
which has been shipped in considerable
volume from the interior to the bazaars.
reports from native sources varied
from 100000 ounces to 100000.
