labor provisions was attacked to-

the United Mine Workers Of Amer

in a prepared paper read before
the American Academy of Political

Organized labor is a single unit

said, although we are convinced
that the practical application OF
the law up to the present time has
been too restricted and too lacking
in uniformity and comprehensive

Arrivals of Warm Weather
Products on Increase.
Prices Decline.

Shipments Of produce hold in steady
volume compared with recent weeks
or a year ago, according to the United
States Department of Agriculture.
Features are the light and decreas-
ing movement Of apples and Of old
onions, carrots, potatoes and sweet
potatoes. Shipments Of new onions,
peas and asparagus are lighter. Local
supplies of greens are heavy, but car
lot shipments are light.
Arrivals of warm weather products
are increasing, including cantaloupes,
tomatoes, peppers, beans, cucumbers
and strawberries. Shipments of West
ern cherries and plums started early
and have increased rapidly, but sup
plies of orchard fruits, except oranges,
will be light until arrival of the ex-
pected good crop Of Southern peaches.
Prevailing price trend of produce is
downward. Apples, lettuce and celery
are the main exceptions. Most OF the
fruits hold their price level better

berries are selling at low prices now
that the largest midseason shipping
sections are in the market Melons
opened the season at fairly high
prices, but acreage is large.
Increased planting of most truck
crops and the delayed Eastern season
indicates heavy shipments of produce

areas report generally favorable grow

severe drought recently prevailing in
the grain region. Liberal supplies and

SIGNS Of TRADE
RECESSION NOTED
SIackened Retail Demand
and Unstable Prices
Cited by Review.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, May 18-Signs Of
business recession were noted today
in the Weekly Trade Review of Dun g.
Bradstreet, Inc.
"Droughts, unreasonable weather.
undetermined outcome of pending
legislation and curtailed operations in
many industries have left in their
wake instability Of prices and less
insistent demand for merchandise. ac-
companied by the gathering Of labor
clouds over some of the chief centers
of production" the Review reported.
Complication now arising doubtless
are the first direct result Of transi-
tinal work necessary while the recov-
cry movement is being extricated
gradually from governmental guidance
to private initiative.
There has Leen no weakening Of
confidence In the immediate future
and resumption of the uptrend. with
more vigor than that which charac-
terized 1t even during the first quarter
of the year, doubtless will be achieved
as soon as distribution receives the
benefit of more normal Temperatures
and producers OF goods Will nave been
given a clearer apprisal of the admin
istration's policies.
Trade is at its lowest ebb in the
corn belt and the Northwest, where
precipitation during the last -four
months has been the lightest in near
ly a quarter of century. Majority
of reports stress the certainty that
the Summer letdown will be less
marked than was anticipated a few
weeks ago and will be followed by q
general expansion in the Fall"

Building and Loan Groups
Interested in Housing
Insurance Bill.
BY J. 4. BRACKET,
Press Business Writer.


Just as the Nations banks are
brought under Government supervi-
sion by the deposit guarantee, 50 the
proposed housing insurance bill would
tend to bring building and loan asso-
Citations under even closer regulation.
The bill provides for the insurance
of savings or investments In such as
sociations. 1t limits those eligible to
such insurance to associations In the
Federal Home Loan System, which are
examined by the Home Loan Bank
Board. Their loans come under GER
tain restrictions not applicable to nom
members.
Some $4,000, 900 900 to $4,000, ,o0o,-
600 of savings, mostly Of small invest
ors, are contained in building and loan
associations. About 2,400 of the ex-
isting 10000 to IA 900 associations are
already members of the Home Loan
Bank System. and 1t is expected that
passage of the guarantee would bring
IN thousands more
A further incentive to membership.
officials believe, would be in the in
surance of loans for reconditioning
of old or building of new homes. They
say the restrictions on type of loans,
now imposed on member banks, would
eliminate much original investigation
Of loans that would be necessary in
the case of a non-member association
Members of the system may borrow
money from the Central Home Loan
Banks. in much the same manner in
which commercial banks may borrow
on their loans from the Federal Re-
serve Banks. This serves to increase
the liquidity Of their securities.
Another incentive is the compara-
lively low interest rate available to
member banks, and officials are
working toward further reduction.

DOPE ON THE b. b. COURTS
Standings to Feb, 20.

This weeks games on Friday: Askov
at Willow River; Hinckley at Rush
City; Moose Lake at Barnum; North
Branch at Pine City; Sandstone at
Finlayson.
Since only three games have been
reported from last week by the dis
trict secretary, the standings may not
seem right to some of the schools
Brook Park defeated Willow River
q to IS. This ends Willows long
reign as the district leader. North
Branch won over Hinckley, IS to Is.
In an unexpected upset Askov ad-
ministered crushing defeat to the
Sandstone high school team February
16, 32 to Is. The local cagers played
their best game to date against the
formidable Quarry City quintet. There
was no particular bright star in the
game. When Askov gained possession
of the ball the forwards swept down
the floor followed by the guards who
sifted in and out of the opposing
teams defense. The AskOv boys con-
tented themselves for the most part
with driving in for set-up shots in
stead of the futile, but spectacular
long shots which have marked their
last few games. The tilt became
rougher as it progressed. Thirty-one
fouls were melted out to the teams.
This victory, together with the vic
tory over Brook Park establishes
Askov as a possible threat in the
forthcoming district tournament. The
local team has good reserve strength
and it should go places if its men,
bers are willing to play for the team.
Friday, Feb 49, the first and second
teams go to Willow River to play their
final game away from home. The
local boys have an excellent chance
of squaring accounts as the Willow
lineup at the present is riddled by
sickness.
Taking advantage of their rangi-
ness the Sandstone second team piled
up big lead over the Askov seconds.
The score was 81 to II.
