There is another important factor
n the rapidly increasing sales of gas
refrlgerators," Barber said" and
that is that the Utilities District will
service them free. In other words,
when a gas refrigerator is sold BY a
dealer the Utilities District takes
over all responsibility for it's future
satisfactory operation, without cost
to the owner"
1t also was pointed out that the
rapidly growing demand for gas re-
f~rigeration is due in part to the fact
that it provides the cheapest auto
matte refrigeration available in Oma-
hat a cost of less than four cents
a day.

gas refrigerators will be established
IN Omaha this year, it was confident
~ predicted Thursday by W. J. Bar
Der, assistant to the general manager
Of the Metropolitan Utilities Dis
tr1ct. Barber based his production on
the fact that so far this year more
than six times as many gas refriger-
tors have been sold by all dealers in
Omaha than for the same period a
year ago.
The tremendous increase in sales is
attributable chiefly, it was said, to
the fact that the Utilities District has
announced that it would guarantee
the rsfrigerating unit Of all gas re-
~frlgerators, Internationally, for five
years This guarantee applies to gas
~refrigerators sold by dealers as well

Business, of late, has shown little
change. Recently there was a drop
from the spring highs, but this has
been regained in a number of major
lines. Main worry of great indus
trialist now cannot be shown In the
indices-is is, simply, labor trouble.
That is proving very embarrassing
to the Administration, inasmuch as
the trouble stems largely from the
NRA. When the NRA was set up it
provided that labor should have the
right to organize, that no worker be
penalized for belonging to a union,
that collective bargaining be permit
ted. At that time there had been no
major strikes for many years, and no
one thought any were coming. AS a
result, no special provision was made
for settling them.

ASK PRESIDENT TO
CALL FOR ANTI
LYNCH BILL VOTE
Voters Urged to Ask Their Senators
Also TO Chief Executive to Insist
on Vote Before Adjournment

Observation-Disclosures appeal ia
President Roosevelt in behalf of the
Wagner anti-lynching bill
was mada here last night by Walter
White, N. A. A. C. Ps secretary, in a
telegram to the Chief Executive. Mr..
White who has spent thu past few
here in conferences with the
senators and others supporting the
bill, wirsd:
In your forthcoming message to
Congress on social legislation may
as strongly as possible urge you
to ask Congress to vote without
fail on CoStigan-Wagner Anti
Lynching bill at this session
Only vigorous public utterance
by you can overcome the machin-
atoms of the two senators who
are blocking vote. Latest check
IN discloses bill has cl ar ma
jority in both houses Organiza-
tons with membership Of forty
million have endorsed and are de-
manding vote on measure.
"These citizens from south as
well as north have a right to know
who is for and who is against the
bill and they insist on a vote prior
to adjournment. They resent two
senators being pe4mitted to kill
legislation which the majority of
senators and congressman want to
vote for. In final analysis the
public will not hold members of
congress accountable but will
place responsibility on yourself
as head of the government. I
am confident you will meet the
situation firmly and will strong
Iy urge senate to limit debate
and take a vote. The entire
country will applaud such action"
AS one more method Of forcing ac-
ion on the bill before adjournment,
supporters Of the bill are urged to
at once to the senators from
hair states asking them to ask the
President for a vote on he measure
This will carry the pressure directly
70 the White House through the
rarious senators.
This action also will expose again
lust who is for the measure and who
IS against IL Senators should be
asked to send thsir voters copies Of
a. letters which they write the
President on the bill.
The latest report is that Senator
f. George, Of Georgia, has
hanged his mind and is not blocking
he bill, although, of course, he is not
working for it.
