NIAGARA RAPIDS ARE
DRAGGED FOR VICTIM
Woman, Believed Suicide, Is
Sought in Whirlpool.
BIZ Tnited Press

By United Press
NIAGARA FALLS, N. Y, Aug. 10.
The waters of the lower Niagara
river whirlpool rapids were dragged
today for the body of an auburn
haired Bradford (Pa) woman who
leaped from a sightseeing cable car
to her death, $50 feet below.
She was identified as Mrs. Ruth
L. Hyde, 80, wife of William P.
Hyde of Bradford, f1fty-seven years
her senior.
Dragging operations we're tedious
and dangerous because of the
treacherous condition of the river at
the spot where she jumped.
The woman jumped from the
cable car, which contained fourteen
other passengers. Only two of the
passengers witnessed the jump. No

distributed only to people holding
relief cards.
These production relief" units
had their inspiration in the barter
and scrip units which swept across
the country in 1882. But the new
units will be better organized and
will have government money back
of them.
Production relief, starting off

Production relief brings the two
together. Relief authorities rent
the vacant factory, equip it. Then
they say to workmen on relief,
There's a factory. Go into 1t
and work for your relief allow
ance. and keep the products OF
the factory, shoes, suits, dresses,
furniture, for yourselves.
The workman goes into the
plant. If skilled at the trade, he
starts right in. If not, he is
taught.
TIE works enough hours at the
III going rate in the trade TO
earn his relief allowance. Then
he is allowed to work a number
of hours more. That gives him
credits which he can exchange
for the products of the plant, say
shirts.
When he has earned as many
shirts as he is allowed to receive
(the number will be strictly
limited, because otherwise he
might be tempted to go outside
and sell them, he may exchange
his credits for other things such
as shoes. kitchen chairs, dress
for his wife.
Where did these things come
from? They were received in an
exchange with another city which
was making them. After our
typical city has made the required
number of shirts for all relief
clients. the rest will be sent to
another town where relief people
are making shoes, and a swap
made.
CKILL and hope are regalned.
- A sense of self-reliance comes
back. For no more money the
relief dependent gets clothing and
furniture, that he wasn't getting
before.
And commercial stores have lost
no customers, for the relief de-
pendence weren't customers, any
way.
