The Washington times., 1934-06-12

It seems that in leaving
Washington for the purpose of
peering at the champion and
challenger before they embrace
in Is scheduled rounds of
body bruising next Thursday
evening, we turned an impo-
lite back on as fine piece Of
fighting as you'd look for
either under the Congressional
Record or the Marquis OF
Queensberry rules.
Where Battles Thickest
Compared to anything yet
exposed at the Baer camp in
Asbury Park or here in prima-
tive Primo's Pompton retreat,
Washington is where the fur
has been flying the thickest,
where the scowls have run the
deepest and the frowns most
furrowed.
There may have been no
blows struck. but neither has
there been here since Sunday
afternoon and when you con-
slider the fact that this fight
is to be held only day after
tomorrow night, perhaps the
honorable Senate committee
had better adjourn up here
and do a little investigating
along lines where they have a
chance of making some head
way.
On tn eve of the worlds
heavywe ght championship
scrap the camp of the incum-
bent is as listless as those gun
boats riding easy on the placid
waters of the Hudson down be-
low. For 48 hours hardly a
leaf has stirred. Now and
then a hound dog moves
around a tree to keep on the
shady side and an occasional
automobile rolls up only to
have its occupants informed
there will be mo training to-
day" The quiet is positively
forboding.
Inertia Is Pronounced
After devoting an entire "a
hours to rest and relaxation
wherein he didn't bestir him
self even so much as to remove
his pajamas, say nothing of
leave the second floor level,
Primo is today forced, by edict
of the New York State Athletic
Commission, to arouse himself
from his lethargy long enough
to be driven down to New
York for a pre-fight physical
examination.
This goes very much against
his Latin grain, for when q
son Of Italy wishes to repine in

PLAN FOR COUNTY
MUSIC FESTIVAL

At a meeting of all Butler county
music teachers, held in the office of
C. H. Williams, county school super
intendent, at the Butler county court
house, preliminary plans were discuss
ed for the annual musical festival, to
be held in Hamilton some time during
next March.
Musical selections to be rendered at
the festival were decided upon by the
assembled teachers who will use them
as part Of their classroom work
throughout the year. Children prac-
ticing the selections and who will par
ticipate in the festival, include those
in all the intermediate, primary and
high school grades.
The best of these will be chosen later
in the year and the group finally mar
rowed down to 800 for the festival.

who will wait to be shown.

Stocks have been gravitating to
lower levels in recent months, which
is usually considered sign of bad
times; but advertising in the maga-
zines is going up, which is counted
a sign of good business. 1t would be
wise to take both indications with a
grain of salt.
At the height of the boom, stand
ard stocks sold at prices which would
make their dividends yield the buyer
3 per cent or even less on his money.
Gilt edged bonds command as much,
and measured by income, some stocks
still give scanty returns.
On the other hand, the sharp in
crease in national advertising in mag
azines shows only that the advertisers
believe there is market for their
wares, and at times they have been
mistaken.

San Francisco, Calif.-A report by
the committee on claims of the brew

versus craft unionism.
On a cali the vote was 1858 fol

" Where with our
roo Little Hatchet
we tell the truth
about many things, sometimes pro-
foundly, sometimes hippantly,
sometimes recklessly.

Workers in manufacturing lumber
and lumber products are not wanted
IN Ohio-or at least, they are not
being encouraged to stay there. There
were 30,623 of these workers in the
state in 1916. There were only 1880
left on the lumber payrolls in 1882.
The workers in 1916 got total wages
Of $19,613,829. What were left of
them in 1932-the latest year for
which figures are available-received
total pay Of $12,637 ,927.
These figures have been gathered
by the state department of industrial
relations and compiled by the Fred
Croxtons, father and son, who have
given SO many studies of work and
wages. They are published in the
Monthly Labor Review of the United
States Department of Labor.
Between 1916 and 1925, total wages
in the lumber industry of Ohio more
than doubled, reaching high point
of $40,645,144 for the last named
year. From that time, at the height
of the building boom, wage payments
tapered off until in 1929 they totaled
S35 ,296, ,692-about the average of the
postwar period
Taking 1929 as a standard, the
Croxtons say:
"The average number of persons
employed declined 12,607, or 47.4 per
cent from 1929 to 1882; total wage and
salary payments decreased $22, $685.
765, or 64.2 per cent; and the aver
age wage and salary payment de-
creased S424, or 31.9 per cent; from
$1,328 in 1929 to 1904 in 1882"
While lumber workers did not have
such f1uctuating employment as was
shown in the building trades, the
number of those workers varied Ill
per cent in 1929, 16.9 per cent in 1880,
1872 per cent in 1881 and 1913 per cent
in 1882.
