Watchman at Chicago
Survives Wild Night

Chicago, June 17-(P)-John Dwyer,
67-year-old Waterman. lived through
a narrowing experience Saturday
when two thugs overpowered him in
the plant of the Taylor Trunk COM
pany, tied him to a pile of trunks and
then set fire to the building.
Bound in such a way that if he at
tempted to free himself the trunks
would come crashing down upon him,
Dryer said he yelled himself hoarse
for several hours while smoke curled
up through the floor from the base
ment below.
A passerby saw smoke issuing from
open windows. Firemen rushed to
the scene and rescued the white-hair-
ed Waterman.
Dwyer said the men told him their
motive was union trouble"

LIVING WAGE, SHORT
Hours IS SLOGAN OF
RECOVERY PROGRAM
Aims of Industrial Administra-
ton Indicated in Roosevelt
Statement

Washington, June l7.-lPl-Presi-
dent Roosevelt intends to put all the
immediate emphasis of the industrial
control program on reduction Of
working hours with payment of a
Giving wage" for the shortened labor
week.
This purpose was indicated clearly
in a public statement, issued just be-
fore starting on his New England va
cation, in which he coupled the de-
claration the bills purpose was ito
put people back to work" with an
urgent request industry forego quick
profits and devote itself to increasing
the country's purchasing power before
raising prices.
Limitation of working hours and
job spreading is to be an integral
part of the industrial codes under
which the government will let related
businesses cooperate without inter-
ference from the antitrust laws.
Eventually the president said he
wants to use the law Ito plan for a
better future" but the first, emer-
gency Job is going to be Ito get
many hundreds of thousands OF the
unemployed back on the payroll by
snowfall"
1.-The idea Is simply" he continued,
"for employers to hire more men to
do the existing work by reducing the
work-hours of each mans week ana
at the same time paying living wage
for the shorter week"
In statement at Pittsburgh, Gen.
Hugh S. Johnson, industrial admins
traitor, said I'VE are at a critical stage
of this depression because prices have
risen so much faster than wages.
There is real danger of relapse ur1-
less purchasing power is enhanced"
Commenting on the shorter week
with living wage, Johnson said:
This cannot be done without ruin
to many unless all competing indus
tries do the same thing and about the
same time"

WILL LEVY WHEAT
TAX IN JULY FOR
ALLOTMENT PLAN
80 Cents a BusheI Held Prob
able Rate But It May Be
Higher or Lower
SHARP ACREAGE CUT ASKED
Wallace May Seek 2o-Per-cent
Slash in Return for
Cash Benefits

Washington, June l7.-(P-Maxi-
mum processing taxes will be levied,
beginning early in July, on all wheat
ground into flour by American mills.
To finance efforts to reduce the ma
tons production, these taxes will be
about 80 cents a bushel on the basis
of present relationships of current
and pre-war prices. They will be
higher If wheat declines in price;
lower If it increases. Secretary Wal
lace will fix the tax within short
time and hopes to keep it as stable
as possible. 1t will become effective
between July l and Is.
Wallace will ask farmers of the
wheat belt to agree to reduce their
acreages for harvest in 1894 and 1885
by as much as 20 per cent. In return
he will offer them cash bonuses and
he plans to distribute $3.50, 1000, 900 of
these, most of it by September Is.
Wallace expressed strong faith in
his plans for applying the act which
President Roosevelt has described as
frankly experimental in nature" In
another month Wallace expects adj
ministrative activity will be in full
swing.
Secretary Wallace has postponed
for this week announcement Of his
cotton program calling for q sharp
reduction in acreage of the growing
crop and levying of the maximum
processing tax of about 4 cents a
pound.
Uses Allotment Plan
The wheat plan is based on the vol
untary domestic allotment plan. The
exact amount of acreage reduction
will be determined after negotiations
have been completed at the world
wheat conference at London.
Wallace said the program provides
the United States with machinery to
fulfill any international agreement
for acreage reduction that may be
made at London, but in case the con-
ferences fails to reach an agreement,
a separate reduction program will be
employed in this country.
The plan contemplates fixing al
lotments of wheat for each state and
country in the wheat areas, on the
basis of average production in the last
five years. Each farmers allotment
within that will be based on his pro-
duction for the last three years.
If a farmer agrees to reduce his
acreage in line with the amount Wal
lace specifies, he will be paid two
thirds of his bonus In cash. The
other third will be paid after evidence
of fulfillment as to acreage planted
this fall or next spring. The actual
amount of this bonus remains to be
determined.
The plan contemplates no inter-
ference with the free marketing OF
wheat. Special efforts to market sur
pluses will be made, Wallace said,
particularly by cooperation with ex-
listing agencies to facilitate export
movement, partially also in relief
channels such as the Red Cross.

Spring Floluer Sh0lU Set
For Tuesday, WednesdQu
Garden Club to Sponsor Annual
Display in World War Memo
rial Building

Tuesday and Wednesday, June 20
and 81. have been set as the dates for
Bismarck's annual spring flower show
in the World War Memorial building,
it was announced Saturday by Mrs.
Herman Lombard, president OF the
Garden club, which is sponsoring the
event. Mrs. Frayne Baker, general
chairman for the show, is directing
arrangements.
It was decided to hold the show the
fore part of the week because recent
hot weather is causing blooms to ma
ture more rapidly than usual. Peo-
MES, expected to be the main feature
of the show, are at their best at the
present time, while many other varie-
ties will be in full bloom within the
next few days.
The flower show committee is sug-
costing that choice blossoms be cut
now and placed in water in a cool
basement or in an icebox until time
for the show. Oriental poppies may
be preserved for several days by scar
ing the stems in hot wax. Flowers

MILLERS DIVIDE ON
OPINION ON RESULT

Minneapolis, June l7.-(H)-T h e
Journal said Saturday millers are
divided in their opinion as to the eff
feet Of the wheat processing tax al
though the majority are Of the opin-
ion it will be beariSh.
It said there is feeling on the part
of many that the tax. which is 30
cents a bushel on wheat, when it is
processed into flour at an additional
cost of $3.50 to $1.6O barrel, will
bring lower wheat prices since there
will be a tendency to absorb some
of the expense in this way rather
than to pass it all on to the flour
consumer.
There are so many factors entering
into the wheat and flour situation,
such as the national initiation move
ment and the weather conditions at
fecting the crop That some feel the
tax may have little effect on the
farmers price for his wheat.

SERIOUS DAMAGE TO
STATE GRAIN CROP
IS SEEN BY EXPERT
Trowbridge Asserts Plants Can
not Stand Intense Heat
For Very Long

Fargo. N. D.. June 17.-(P}-That
serious and widespread damage may
be done to wheat and other small
grain crops throughout the state with
a continuation for few days of the
present extreme hot weather is the
opinion of DR.. P. F. Trowbridge, direc-
tor of the North Dakota experiment
station In Fargo and of substations
in the state.
Wheat, barley and oats are cool
weather plants and such extreme heat
Is forcing them, causing them to go
into the boot stage much quicker than
they should" DR.. Trowbridge said. 1T
Is true we have a good stand Of small
grains over much of the state. but no
small grain plant can Withstand such
unusual heat as this for many days.
I'VE have reports there has been
much damage, particularly through
the southern part of the state, and
this will spread over all sections Of
the spring wheat belt If we do not get
relief soon In the way Of rain and
cooler weather"
He declared serious damage already
has been done in the south central
portion and declared crops in South
Dakota have been irreparably dam
aged, according to reports received by
him.
Corn and flav are withstanding the
heat much better than the small
grains, he said. He pointed out flax
is more of a dry weather crop and
corn is at a stage when 1t does not
require so much moisture as do wheat,
oats and barley.
He said probably more damage has
been done to oat fields than to wheat
or barley. Many oat fields are turn
ing brown, and farmers of Cass coun-
ty report the stools on all small grains
are beginning to show the effect Of the
clustering heat.

Washington, June l7.-tR-Euro-
pean proposals for a temporary stab

authoritatively Saturday to be un-
satisfactory to the United States.

delegation at the London economic
conference and they are expected to
move slowly in the pending negotia-
tons.

representatives on the proposal was
received Friday night by the presi-
dent and Secretary Woodin. The
chief executives views Immediately
were transmitted to London.
The situation was explained at the
treasury Saturday by Dean Acheson.
the acting secretary. 1t was pointed
out that the government was willing
to listen to any proposals advanced
but it was said that the ones received
were not agreeable to this govern
ment in their present form.
No Details Divulged
Acheson declined to divulge any
details of the plan which was sub
mitted by the treasury's representa-
tive in London, o. M. w. Sprague. but
said it was something from which
negotiations could start.

delegates could act, but 1t was in

phrase arrangement to minimize
fluctuation."

pended.
