LABOR FORCES WILL ORACNIZE
 ALL WORKERS
American Federation is Combating Company Unions" With Its Own Federal Labor Unions

Washington, July 27- (UP) = The American Federation of Labor today intensified it's efforts to or ganize workers in the automobile. steel, rubber and other mass pro- duction industries in which labor is largely unorganized. Striving to speed the organization work and combat formation of company unions" under employer auspices. President William Green disclosed that A. r. of L. was chartering individual unions in separate fac- tories. These organizations are called Federal Labor Unions"
 The A. F. of L. hitherto has operated largely through affiliated international unions, with each type of workers organized separately. The present effort is toward or ganizing employees in given plant into one union regardless of the various types of work they may do. By this meaEs. Green said, labor can quickly place itself in position for effective collective bargaining under the recovery act, and will have the benefit of the A. F. of LIS power and expert coun- sel in considering labor aspects of the industrial codes,

ing livelihood. Some of them, including a large number of skilled workers, may never go back to the factories.
 Suddenly deluged with orders on the first wave of inflationary buy ing, many industrial plants have found it difficult to recruit new and skilled workers. Some indus tries, such as steel, have reported q shortage of certain classes of skilled workers. The only alter native has been to speed up exist ing crews and add to hours of work. This is, of course, a tempor- ary condition and will probably be lighted just as rapidly as the re- quired men can be obtained.
 Reducing the percentages of payroll indices to aggregate dol- lars, there Is again presented d vast vacuum of refilling. Total wages of factory labor may be es- timated at around II billion dol lars for the period of 1923-25. Ap- plying to this Federal Reserve Board index of 32.0 for May of this year, it may be estimated that total industrial wages are now run ming at a rate well under billion dollars year. It will take many thousands of additional workers in auditing and payroll departments alone not to mention profits or bank credit - to add more than 6 billion dollars to that total.
 Another important source of the nations purchasing power is farm income.
 Restored farm buying power will probably not be felt until autumn, or as one writer put it, the full force of spreading employment is not expected to become evident in retail sales totals until later Tn the summer, at which time price advances will become more pro- nounced, contributing more largely to the gains which will be made over last years record"
 The consumers purchasing pow er---at least, off the farm--is sen sitive to another index-the cost of living. The National Industrial Conference Boards index of living costs advanced during May. The figure of 72.1 (monthly average of 1923 as 100), compares with 71.5 in April and 71.8 in March. But as compared with last May-77.9- it still shows considerable reduc- ton. Viewed from this angle. the purchasing power of the dollar in today's pay envelope is consider ably greater than 1t was one, two or three years ago.
 Depression gripped the country many observers believe, because mass purchasing power failed tc keep pace with rising prices and heavier output. Strike out the word power" and probably the statement will be more correct, foi retail sales dropped off even be. fore employment was seriously eff. fected. There are times when tho need and, particularly the will, te buy are of more moment than ap f-parent purchasing power. There can be no doubt about "need" now and the "will' is amply demon strated by what has happened il the motor car and the electric re frigerator industries.

By JOHN D. c. WELDON In the Magazine of Wall Street

It is one of the functions of busi- ness management to plan ahead and to try to beat the gun. If any, thing, the fact that so many lead- ing industries are now willing to stock up with finished products in advance of consumer buying should be reassuring as a majority expres- sion of confidence in the future.
 Business can well afford to get a little distance ahead of consump- tive demand. Ordinarily that Is the. case; in fact, our system of distribution requires an amount of warehouse stocking which is, in the aggregate, very lage. Production in excess of the current rate of consumption is required to build up surplus stocks.
 If, after these stocks have been built up, production has to slow down a bit while consumer pur- chasing power is catching up, there should be no cause for alarm. An even flow of production would be an ideal condition, but it just isn't human nature to work that way.
 While wages and farm incomes are admittedly moving upward more slowly than the output of manufacturing plants, there is nothing but reassurance in the sales figures of those industries which have been quick to feel restored consumer confidence.
 The administration has recently been reported as worried over de- partment store sales. The Federal Reserve Boards index, adjusted to seasonal variations, and taking the nvf na fA1I kN in June, as compared with 67 in ary and February the index stood in March. In 1892, the index stood at .7S in both January and February, 72 in March, 79 in April and in May in June 1t fell success sively to 72 and 69. There is some encouragement in the fact that the trend is irrcgular1y upward this year, whereas it was downward last year.
 Probably unit sales, moreover, would show different result. Sales at reduced prices to clear old stocks have been the rule in recent merchandising activities, and where higher prices have been paid on SOOdS tllC SClSLdl PL tice has been to average costs. so that price advances have been kept to a minimum. Merchants are aware that consumer purchasing power cannot be re-established overnight; therefore, they are wise- ly reluctant to advance prices. When there is a clearer outlook on purchasing power and retail prices respond to rising costs, the index may well score 8 broad advance.
 Looking at employment and wages in the aggregate for the en- tire country, 1t would appear that Washington and Wall street are a bit impatient because they are per haps unmindful of the difficult problems involved. In 1929 the average monthly employment in manufacturing plants was S,S3S,74 It has been estimated that in 1882 the number of workers dropped tc a monthly average of about 5,450,. 900. Probably considerable mum. Der of the approximately 3,400,00C of industrial workers who found themselves out of work in 193. have found other means of earn.

farms and in other forms of out door labor.
 Thousands of workers were streaming back to their jobs in De- troit's motor industry. One unit re- ported 11,000 men re-employed since June 1. Between 100 and 150 families are being removed from relief rolls daily in this city. How ever, an increasing number of aged and infirm persons are asking aid, presumably because of exhaustion of their savings.
 Pennsylvania reported 56,00O families had been removed from the welfare list in recent weeks due to the opening up of new oppor- tunities for wage earners. The bur- den Is now 12 per cent under the May peak of 467,000 families.
 Cleveland, reported that employ ment was decreasing the relief necessary at the rate of per cent q month.
 St Louis officials announced that 25.O00 persons had gained jobs in the past three months. The revival of the brewing industry was pow erful factor.
 Employment in Wisconsin, based on figures for the 29 leading indus- trial cities has gained about 15 per cent. '
 More than 12.000 families went off the relief roles In Indiana in the last few weeks. Cost of relief dropped bauot 10 per cent.
 Little change was noted in em- Dloyment in the east and far west Authorities said 1t was too early to determine the effect of the NRA code on employment conditions and that other changes were largely seasonal.

'The solution when 1t comes," he continued. "is not generally stressed like the original offense. It's fair to say that since passage of the federal Kidnapping law aft CT the Lindbergh case, which gave federal authorities more power, there are only two unsolved kid- naping cases"
 The attorney general said that only the Urschel and O'Connell cases remained unsolved, and that solutions had been obtained in the Hamm, Luer. Boettscher, McMath and McElroy cases.
 Conviction of McGee came just two months after the daring ab- duction of Miss McElroy, who was seized at her home while other members of the family were ab- sent.
 She was taken to an isolated house a few miles west of Kansas City and chained to a basement wall for more than 24 hours while negotiations for her ransom were in progress
 The abductors demanded $G0, 900 from Judge McElroy, but the girl was released upon payment of S6V,OOO, most of which was recoV- cred after arrest of McGee and the others charged with participation.
 Defense attorneys offered no evidence at McGee's trial. He made a confession immediately after his arrest, and no effort was made to set 1t aside.
 His attorneys concentrated on a plea to the jury not to recommend the death penalty. They argued that Miss McElroy had not been mistreated during her captivity. and asserted that her captors had shown her consideration.
 The case was given to the jury at b:15 p. m. Yesterday with a plea by prosecuting attorneys that the death penalty be imposed as sure means to stamp out the rising menace of Kidnapping.
 This verdict will serve notice to kidnapers throughout the nation that they may expect the severest punishment for their crimes" said Joseph B. Keenan, special assistant United States attorney general.

 Mrs Hutton had toyed with the idea of flying west, but when it de- veloped that the airlines expected her to pay for her passage, she de- cided in favor of the railroad, which classifies her as a minister of the gospel and hence gives her reduced rates.
