Latest estimates of the total United States 1888 potato crop were increased to 307 million bush els based on conditions October 1st by the Crop Estimating Board of the United State Department of Agriculture. This is an increase of about 6 percent/over the estimate 0 month ago when the total crop was predicted at 294 million bush els. The total 1892 potato crop was estimated at 358 million and the last five-year average at 35b million bushels.
 Prospects for most late crops, except fruits. improved during September. 1t was said, resulting chiefly from mild weather, less damage than normal from frosts and much more favorable mois- ture conditions in the eastern half of the country than in any previ- ous growing month. The percent. age of increase credited to the po- tato crop of per cent was greater than for most others.
 The estimates for apples. beach, es and pears showed decreases of 2 percent or less. The total com- mrecial apple crop was estimated at 27.6 million barrels compared with 2S.1 million n month earlier. The 1892 apple crop was placed at 2S.6 million and the fvc-ycar aver. age at 32.G million barrels.

LABOR FED. SEEKS
 3O-HOUR WEEK
Resolutions Adopted at Annual Washington
 Convention

Washington, Oct 1l--(UP) Tho American Federation of Labor decided to-day to fight for Q com pulsory 30 hour week at the next session of congress If 1t becomes apparent that the same result can- not be obtained through NRA in- dustrial codes.
 The federation at its sad annual convention adopted resolutions de- claring the shorter work week 'the most essential solution" of the unemployment problem. A compulsory 30-hour week for government employees without a re. auction in pay was approved.
 Speakers on the subject pointed out that the national recovery ac, was q temporary measure and that efforts should be made constantly to obtain backing both in congress and state capitals for the compul. sory 30-hour week throughout all industry.
 The report of the committee on the shorter work week praised President Roosevelt for his part in pushing through the recovery act. The NRA, the committee reported. is "headed in the right direction"
 The committee urged drastic shortening of work week maxi nuns in industrial codes, with no reduction in wages
