Labor Report Shows; Spring Work Helps Many.

The American Federation of La
Dor estimated that about 100000
men and women went back to work
in April, but hat 10,616,oC
workers remained without regular
employment in private industry

work on Public Works projects.
$4,000 were in forestry camps and
the remainder had no employment
except that Offered by the relief
administration.
'In reviewing the progress made
the federation said, 1--WE find that
since NRA codes became effective,'
the greatest employment gain was
from July to September last year,
when hours were shortened under
the codes and unemployment was
reduced from nearly 11,SOO,oOO in
July to 100000 in September.
From September to January,
unemployment increased again,

There is a good deal of signifi
canoe attached here, however, tt
the fact that after the barrow re.
port had been submitted and before
it was published, General johnson
announced that there would be :
broad change in the system under
which the NRA operates. Many
of the smaller lines of business will
be exempted from the codes, ane
only the large concerns doing ar
interstate business will be continu.
ed under Government regulation.
There is still a good deal of shak-
ing down and shaking out to b
done before the Administration
machine gets into smooth working
order. Too many minor function
aries and a few of the minor i'm
portant officials have not yet Sob
cred up from their early intoxica-
ton with newly-acquired power.
There is still a great deal of Of
ficial arrogance and insistence that
nobody is honest except these few
Administration officials. Giving
them all credit for good intentions.
there has been extreme carelessness
and lack of a sense of responsibility
in the methods which many of
the wly-created bureaus have
adopted.
Those faults are recognized and
will be cured, by the dismissal of
the worst offenders and the dis
cipling Of the others. But there
is no indication so far that par
tisanship will not control new ap-
pointments, rather han ability.
On the other hand, a great deal
of good work has been done by the
Administration and the outlook is

WASHINGTON
The barrow Report
Code Changes Certain
Reforms Were Needed
Distribution of Wealth

With the adjournment of Cong
ress apparently set for the middle
of June, the outlook is that Presi-
dent Roosevelt will get about all Of
the legislation which he really
wants-and some that he doesn' t
care about-by that time.
Major measures which seem GER
tain to be passed include the silver
bill, which extends the President
power to remonetize silver but does
not compel him to do anything
about it; the bill authorizing the
President to revise tariffs; the mea-
sure providing for industrial loans
by R.F.C. and the Federal Reserve;
the bill tor Government regulation
of wire and radio communities
tions; the extension of the presen.
bank deposit insurance plan; and
last but not least, the President.
pet plan to stimulate home-build-
ing and employment in the build
ing trades by providing a Govern
ment controlled guarantee fund tc
insure lenders on first mortgages
from loss, and a similar guarantee
against loss on loans made for
home repairs and improvements I'M
der Government restrictions ano

The most exciting things in
Washington, however, is not tina,
Congress is going back home te
run for reelection, though that i.
something which always ,evokes
signs of relief here. 1t is the con-
troversy that has been started by
the barrow report on the working:

The committee appointed at the
insistence of Senator Nye of North
Dakota to investigate and report
on the question whether the code
system set up under General John
son was beneficial or otherwise to
small businesses, was headed by
Clarence barrow, famous radical
attorney.
Mr. barrow has always been the
outspoken champion of the little
man" and if not himself an avowed
Socialist is looked upon as their
hero by many of that group. 1t
was hardly to be expected that a
commission with him at its head
would have any kind words to say
for big business but the harsh
words he said about the NRA and
its codes set the whole Administra-
ton by the ears. The barrow re-
port was withheld from publication
for three weeks while General
johnson and Donald Richberg.
counsel for the NRA, had time tc
write scathing replies, which are in
the main denials of the barrow
charges that the codes favor mono
poles. The two NRA officials be-
came very personal in their re-
marks. They are peculiarly sensi
tive to criticism, and, like too many
minor officials in Washington, toe
ready to call names if anyone says
anything they don't like about the
way they are doing their lob.

New York Stocks

NEW YORK. Oct. IL. U.P)-In-
tlation hopes plus expectation of
business improvement served to
bring higher prices on the stock
market today in the heaviest trad
Ing session since midsummer.
Buoyed by President Roosevelt S
belief that a higher price level
must be attained, traders forced
the market upward at the opening
in a first hour that was at the
rate Of more than 100000 shares
for full five hour session.
When that enthusiasm had sub
sided the market received impetus
from the statemels of Senator
Bulkley of Ohio, who after a White
House conference. said he thought
further devaluation of the dollar
was possibility. He also suggest
ed possibility of the next congress
eliminating the so per cent deval-
uation restriction now in force.
This cheered the inflationists
and coupled with new five year
highs for silver in New York and
.London-the New York rate ad-
vancing 212 cents to 539s cents a
fine ounce-brought considerable
activity into mining shares which
advanced as much as 4 points. The
dollar meanwhile grew weaker,
sterling advancing more than 2
cents and the French franc show
ing gain of around points.
All markets felt the zest for i'm
proved --ices with wheat gaining
as to 2A cents, the bulk of the
gain coming after the Bulkley
statement; cotton showing more
than 81 a bale gain and rubber,
sugar and other leading commodi-
ties advancing. Bonds, however,
acted contrarily to initiation senti-
ment with government bonds ad-
vancing along with Domestic Cor
poration and Foreign bonds.
U. S. Smelling showed gains of
81 points at 1T which was off IL
points from the high. American
Smelling gained 19s at 369s, Howe
Sound was up 1l2 at 521@, Cerro
De Pasco was up 212 at 39h, Nor
anda gained point to 80, while
Dome and Mcintyre Porcupine each
showed gains of point or more.
Special issues also were greatly
in demand, radio issues attracting
considerable early attention.
