week END CRUISE
Lower Potomac Trip to Give Him
Opportunity to Work on
Radio Address,

President Roosevelt is planning to
spend the week end aboard the presi-
Dental yacht Sequoia, cruising about
the lower Potomac. Unless business in
terrupts his plans he will sail from the
navy yard early tomorrow afternoon
and not return to the White House until
late Sunday.
The President is looking forward to
this short excursion not only because
of the diversion, but for the opportunity
to compose without interruption the ad-
dress he is to deliver to the American
people Sunday night over Nation wide
radio hook-up.
Mr.. Roosevelt proposes to sum up the
accomplishments of his administration
in this radio talk and to acquaint the
people of the country with all that he
is planning to do in the immediate
future.
Mrs. Roosevelt is out Of the city and
will not be with her husband on this
cruise, but he will be accompanied BY
two or three close friends. This will be
the first time the President has stayed
over night aboard the Sequoia.

ROOSEVELT ASKS
HIGHER PAY SCALES
U. S. Chamber of Commerce
Told Hope in Legislation
Being Planned.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press
The Nations business was pointed
today by President Roosevelt toward
higher wage scales and Government
supervised control Of production and
competition.
The hopes Of the President, which
will be supplemented shortly by broad
legislative proposal to carry them into
effect, were outlined in general terms
in brief address last night before the
Chamber Of Commerce Of the United
States at the auditorium.
Today his advisors, who have been
working for weeks, brought to compile
ton legislation designed to bring about
this new order in business. Govern
ment-sanctioned trade associations to
govern production, wage and competi-
tion agreements are contemplated.
This proposal probably will be made
a part of the public works bill, which
the President is framing to stimulate
business in a counter-attack upon de-
fation.
Placing great emphasis upon his
words as he spoke before the business
leaders. Mr.. Roosevelt said:
"It is essential, as matter Of ma
tional justice, that the wage scale
should be brought back to meet the
cost Of living and that this process
should begin now and not later"
Applauded by Employers.
The employers OF American workers
applauded; the President hesitated as If
the more to emphasize his assertion.
Then he gave in a few words his
plans to bring order out of chaos"
I'm almost every industry" he said
"an overwhelming majority Of the units
of the industry are wholly willing to
work together to prevent overproduc-
tion, to prevent unfair wages, to elini-
nate improper working conditions. In
the past, success in attaining these OBJ
jectiveS has been prevented by small
minority OF units in many industries
I can assure you that you viii have the
cooperation of your Government In
bringing these minorities to understand
that their unfair practices are contrary
to sound public policy"
There Is still lot of work to be done
in organizing legislation to accomplish
this program. It involves relaxation
of the antitrust laws. Also apparently
it involves substitution of the 30-houl
work week bill already passed by the
Senate and now before the House.
Secretary of Labor Perkins has pro-
jected a plan for Government control
over wages and hours of work. This
legislation apparently is to be the alter.
native to voluntary industrial submis-
sion to the Roosevelt plan of Govern
ment supervision.
Drive for Supervision.
Leaders of the Chamber Of Commerce
have been driving strongly for Govern
ment supervision rather than Govern
ment control. One after another they
have urged it.
Discussing the national situation, Mr.
Roosevelt told the chamber there has
been "a slight but definite upturn In
most industries with simultaneous
rise in most commodity prices"
"Past experience indicates" he added
''that when the price level begins to
rise after a long period of declining

Banker Declines to Discuss Possible
Dealings With McMath Kidnapers.

HARWICHPORT, Mass, May R.-
A report was current here today that
Ralph Snow, Harwich banker, was Wis
tied by five men in an automobile last
night and that he drove away with
them, possibly to negotiate for the re-
turn by her kidnapers of 10-year-
Margaret Peggy" McMath.
Snow, who is head of the Cape Cod
Five-Cent Savings Bank, and who was
described earlier in the day by a rep
resentative Of the family as being the
logical man to raise any ransom that
might be demanded, declined either to
confirm or deny the report.

strangers last night was given credence

BUTLER COUNTY
MILK PRICES

In districts of Butler county out
side Of the area where metropolitan
distributors do not handle more than
60 per cent of the dairy products sold,
the consumer, under the new schedule
of prices fixed by the Ohio milk COM
mission, pays one cent less on all
items, it was learned Monday.
The reason for a higher price in
the metropolitan area is that the
dealers there pay union wages while
dealers in the rural districts do not
pay union wages or hire union en-
ployes. The metropolitan area in
cludes only Hamilton and New Miami
