ALASKAN FLYERS
LEAVE FOR WEST
10 Bombardment Planes
Take Off for San Diego
Station.

The Army Air Corps Alaskan ex-
peditionary force, composed Of 10 big
high-speed bombardment planes, Il
ofhciers and 19 enlisted men, took OF
from Boiling Field at 10 am. today
to cross the United States.
Under command of Col. Henry H.
Arnold, who led the unit on the
lO,000-mile massed fight, the big
ships took off in flights of three, with
out formality or ceremony and headed
across the Alleghenies to Dayton,
Ohio, first stop en- route TO San
Diego, Calf, which Is to become their
permanent station.
The group left behind the thunder
bird" totem pole. hewn and painted
by Alaskan natives in tribute to the
greatest man-made thunder birds
they ever had seen. The totem is to
go into the Air Corps museum.
number of husky and malemute
pups, descendants of Alaskan sledge
dogs, brought back by the expedition
as mascots, took their fight stations
in the big bombers, most of them
whining eagerly to be off again.
Upon their arrival in San Diego,
before the end of the week. the big
bombers will go into routine service
in the bombardment squadrons reg
ularly stationed at Rockwell Field.
The flight personnel, collected from
various Air Corps stations throughout
the United States, probably will be
broken up next week and returned to
home posts.
Although the arrival at San Diego
will offcially mark the end of one
OF the most important peace-time Air
Corps jobs in recent years, the study
Of the results Of the expedition may
require months. Thousands of aerial
photographs and important survey
notes are to be studied as basis for
future Alaskan defense policies and
aerial development. s

WORLD MAY TAKE

Shorter Working Days in

Administration.

The administration is seeking way
to have the world follow the United
States in cutting working hours
The way may be found, official,
hope, in the International Labor Or
ganization, which the United States
Joined this week.
This country's delegation to the
next International Labor conference
to be held next Summer in Geneva
doubtless will take the lead in q
movement.
World recovery, as an essential to a
complete comeback in this country,
has been discussed more than once
by the administration Shorter hours

codes mean, generally, increased pro-
duction costs. Any change in ma
tion's costs has a vital effect on its
foreign trade Hence, the admins
tration's interest in hours abroad.
Move Already Talked.
The United States representatives
will find a shorter-hours movement
already well under way in Geneva.
Fifteen years ago, the international
organization adopted convention
calling for a maximum week OF 48
hours. BY the first of this year, 10
countries had ratified it. England
and Germany, two leading industrial
nations, were not among them.
A still greater reduction was pro-
posed at the 1888 conference. AL
though no convention was completed
at the 1884 session, the conference
adopted a resolution saying reduction
of working hours considered either
as a palliative of unemployment or as
q method of enabling the workers to
share in the benefits of technical prog
reSs" was one of the principal tasks
OF the organization. 1t then voted to
ask the international Labor office to
collect more data on the subject, and
the organizations governing body to
put it on the program for the 1885
conference.
Four Delegates to Each Nation.
Each country is represented at
Geneva by four members, two repre-
senting the government, and one each
for employers and labor. The Amer
ican Federation of Labor is generally
expected to name the labor delegate
The rules say that this man shall be
chosen by the organization most rep
resentative Of work people"
The conventions which the or
ganization adopts amount to little
more than recommendation for la
Dor laws. Until the first Of this year,
40 conventions had been adopted and
81 governments had ratified them.

BEER TAX REVENUE.
HITS HIGH IN JULY.
Beverage Provided Sixth
of All Levy Payments
During Month.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The great American thirst sopped
up so much beer in July that it made
the tax collector smile. He garnered
s25,316,o18.
So freely did the drinkers blow
back the foam, in fact, that liquor
tax collections Of all sorts for the
month were boosted to a post-repeal
high of $3s,823,5sO.
The beer revenue was $2,444,428
greater than the month before, and
was virtually twice the $l2,867, ,068
collected the first repeal month, De-
cember, 1888.
Roughly, 1t was one-sixth Of the to-
tai internal revenue collections for
July. They amounted to $151 ,832.055.
not counting $43 3,76o,o2s received in
processing taxes earmarked for bene-
fit payments to farmers. The general
collections represented q $21 900 900
increase over July, 1888.
Liquor Taxes Gain.
Distilled liquor taxes showed little
gain over those collected in June
$7,416,475 compared with $7,1l8,336-
but were under the $8,651,257 taken in
last December.
Wines, at the same time, dropped
of further, to $225,9l7 in July as
compared with $1,039,475 in Decem-
Der. .
With these figures, the Treasury
Jumped receipts from processing taxes
to produce a grand total of collections
of $195, ,592, ,085, or $64, ,476,38 greater
than for July last year.
The processing tax collections-$4S,-
760, ,029-compared with $383,088
year ago when the system was Just
getting started.
Other tax increases over last year
were about evenly divided between the
two usual classif1cations. Income tax
collections rose from $1l $685. ,009, to
$21, ,708,559, while miscellaneous in
ternal revenue jumped from s118, ,749,-
500. to sl30,123,4 ,496.
Income Tax Receipts Of.
Compared with June, a big quar-
terly income tax payment month, re-
ceipts for July, Of course, showed an
extensive decline. June income tax
collections were $186, 6,160,765. There
was also a slight drop in miscellaneous
revenues from the June figure of $l34,-
339,146.
From the very start. the outstanding
feature of liquor tax collections has
been the almost steady rise in beer
taxes, accompanied by slight drop in
those on distilled spirits.
Beginning in December at $12,867,-
068, beer taxes dropped to $10,226, $40
in January and $9,316,457 in February

that the Japanese farmers there be

The 12-cent bottom" on cotton was
described as move to permit the
South to market its staple in orderly
fashion.
Farmers will not have to sell at low
prices should the quotations drop in
the near future, officials said.
Several factors prompted the ad-
ministration to announce late yester-
day that the r. F. c., through the
Commodity Credit Corp, would in
crease its lending from 10 to IL cents
pound on cotton, low middling or
better.
One is a threat of a widespread
strike in cotton mills, which would
tend to diminish the demand for the
staple. There also has been a drop
In consumption this year compared to
past years.
Regulations Awaited.
II a grower decides against selling
his cotton now, he can borrow IL cents
a pound on it from the Government
The regulations are expected to follow
closely those isued last year, when the
Government lent 10 cents pound.
If that is the case, the grower can
keep his cotton over any period of
price dips, then sell it, repay the loan
and pocket the profit. If cotton
should 60 below IL cents and stay be-
low, the Government would face q
loss.
The market price now is more than
l3 cents a pound. The Presidents ac-
ton, in effect, pegs 1t at minimum
of IL cents. Oficials said privately
they expected cotton to sell for 13
cents or more after the textile labor
situation is straightened out.
1t is the view in official circles
that no immediate action will be
taken to make similar loans on wheat
and corn, although such proposals
have been made.
In announcing the 12-cent limit

Huey Long Flees Ne'o Orleans
To Delay Reuolt A gair,st Rule
CITY Hears Patriots viii Be Found to
Smash Der Kingfish to End
Dictatorship in Louisiana.

Many citizens Of New Orleans at
the present time are asking them
selves whether they are mice or men,
and the mayor, though protesting no
humane interest in the dictator's well
fare. hopes the clash will not take
place before election day. People might
think he ordered it done to win the
election and turn on him. He does
not believe Der Kingflsh will have the
personal courage to make full use OF
the powers which he voted himself
through his Legislature.
A young editor who runs paper
at Hammond, town hostile to Huey,
has an editorial running down the
middle of page l today, in which he
spoils for battle:
with the freedom of the press
threatened" says he, with the chance
of an honest election completely lost
and with the personal rights and lib
critics Of man menaced by q secret
army, there remain only ancient
methods of righting wrong. We hope
to God that Louisiana men awake to
these wrongs and to the sole remain
ing method of righting them"
The young editor is Holding Carter.
On the phone he recalled that 200
men from his neighborhood came to
New Orleans for the municipal pri-
mary last January and said they
were ready to march again and fight
If necessary. L.. }i.I l.,
Knows When to Stop.
1t Is Longs record that he always
knows precisely when to stop and
therefore he may decide to make
rather sparing use Of the secret police.
Time and again he has made New
Orleans wild and, as in the present
case, withdrawn from the scene to
let the citizens rave Just when they
seemed on the point Of doing some
thing about 1t all. After while he
does something to churn them up
again.
The investigation Of gambling and
prostitution in New Orleans will be
unimportant except as q campaign
feat and free outing for the political
menials of the Legislature who will
conduct the inquiry. There is un-
limitel money available for the busi-
ness and the statesmen will be frisking
about the underworld of New Orleans
at public expense to gather f1rst-hand
information on their subject. They
will get their regular pay Of $40 a
day.
Anyway, the revolution is postponed
indefinitely.

In backing the proposed textile
strike, Green appointed committees
of prominent A. F. o. L. leaders to
cooperate with the General Strike
Committee of the United Textile
Workers after a lengthy discussion
with the textile group on issues in
volved
Previously Green told newspaper
men efforts would be made to settle

He appointed as a committee on
cooperation with governmental agen-
cies Frank Morrison, secretary Of the

operation, John P. Fry of the Metal

In addition Green said he would
call upon national organizations af-
filiated with the American Federation
Of Labor to assign trained special rep
resentatives to assist the officers OF
the United Textile Workers and the
Special Strike Committee in organiz-
ing the walkout and in carrying it
forward to a successful conclusion.

Green's statement came almost 81
multaneously with disclosure that
Robert w. Breure, chairman Of the
Cotton Textile Industrial Relations
Board, was drawing up a statement
which might contain an outline of q
plank for settling the strike contro-
versy.
After an executive session Of the
board, Bruere said the statement, II
approved by other agencies of the
Government, would be given out later
today. He declined to discuss It's con-
tents.
Il might prejudice my value in the
situation by speaking prematurely, u
Bruere explained.

Bruere again declined details.

Green said he believed the action
of the administration in reducing
