TEXTILE WORKERS
DECLARED UNW|SE.
Pay Demands Out Of Line
With All Statistics,
Editor Ayers.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

special D1SpaJcn 10 Inc star.
NEW YORK, August 1S.-The de-
mands of the United Textile Workers
of America, in threatening cotton
textile strike, are out of line with all
statistical evidence available, Douglas
G.. Woolf, editor OF Textile World,
stated today. Average hourly earn
ings in that industry, according to the
Bureau of Labor Statistics" he points
out, "are 1877 per cent higher than the
prem. r. A. levels"
"An impartial study by the research
division of N. r. A. brought the con-
clusion that there is no factual or
statistical basis for any general in
crease in cotton textile code wage
rates." Mr.. Woolf continues. More
significant still, the same agency dis
covered that manufacturing operations
on representative cotton fabrics were
resulting in a cash loss of 21a cents
per pound.
1T is true" he continues, that
there has been sharp drop in the
demand for cotton goods and that en-
ployes have been working fewer hours
per week, with resulting decrease in

going to remedy that situation is diff
ficult to understand. One of the de-
mands is for a shorter work week, but
with the present weekly wage. This
means higher costs in the industry, of
course. And yet the N. r. A. research
division concluded that increased
costs Gin cotton textiles) cannot be
passed along to the consumer except
at cost of lessened demand and fewer
opportunities for employment and
that "a further increase in costs can
not readily be absorbed by the indus
try, for apparently even present costs
have to be met to some extent by dis
sipation Of working capital
I'm view of all these facts" he con-
cludes, 'it seems unbelievable that
the United Textile Workers would de-
liberately lead it's members into a
hopeless struggle which can result in
only loss and suffering to them"

HOG PRICES SWEPT
HIGHEST SINCE 1881
Sharp Decline in Receipts
Lifts Chicago Top SIPS
in Week.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, August 1S-The sensa-
tional rise of hog prices at the Ma
tion's leading live stock markets dur
ing the last three weeks today had
lifted swine values to the highest
prices in three years.
With more than $3.50, including
the Government processing tax, be-
ing paid at some Eastern markets,
the price levels show an advance of
as much as $125 during this week
and are more than So above the late
May low figure.
Market quotations here are the
highest since September, 1881, and
with the tax of $225 per hundred
weight, the current cost to packers has
not been equaled since November, 1880.
81 Millions Already Paid.
The tax goes into the Government
fund used to pay benefits to farmers
who cooperate in the corn-hog pro-
gram. More than $31,000,000 has
been paid out already under this law.
Today's market here was little more
than the usual Saturday affair. Only
500 animals we're received for the
commercial trade, and these went at
prices steady with yesterday, about 5
cents below the top of $6.65. The
average price of hogs now is $500
against $485 last week and $685. last
year. These prices do not include
the tax.
Sharp curtailment of hog receipts,
caused, according to some trade in
terests, by the drought and the swine
reduction program of last Fall, was
the principal factor in the rush to
acquire hogs. Added to this was the
fact that pork prices have increased
steadily to a level now about so per
cent higher than year ago.
Supplies at Low Ebb.
The huge reduction in receipts
this week amounted to approximately
LOO 900 head as compared with the
corresponding week a year ago at
leading markets. Compared with last
week, principal markets had about
10000 fewer hogs. Slaughter supplies
over the entire country are averaging
the smallest of the year. Available
fresh receipts in many places are not
sufficient to take care of the current
demand.

Butter Brings Larger Return
Despite Decreased Production

cents, giving the industry as whole
an income of approximately s34,S60,-
600. Dairy farmers, traders pointed
out, now are getting about 9 cents
more for butter fat than they did a
year ago.
Butter prices have been swinging
upward steadily in recent weeks until
now they are lowering near the peak
of the year. Prices are about z cents
higher than year ago for butter fu-
lures and about cents for cash but
ter.
Bullish aspects included facts that
surplus storage is the smallest since
1928, that feed shortage as result
of drought may further decrease pro-
duction, which to date is about 10 per
cent less this year than last year and
that the Government is buying butter
for relief purposes.

EDUCATION BEGINS
REBUILDING FROM
DEPRESSION RUINS
Structures and Equipment
Surveyed After Long
Period of Neglect.
BY JOHN A. CRONE.



NEW YORK, August 18.-The big
gest business in the United States, in
the sense of its far-reaching impor-
tance in our national life-education
has started to rebuild from the ruins
caused by the depression.
Three million children and adoles-
cents, between and II years old,
are on the streets instead of being in
school, because there are not enough
school buildings, equipment and teach
ers for them. In four years the ex-
penditures for school buildings, sites
and major equipment have declined
from $370,000,000 to $97,000,000 an
nually. Approximately 100000 teach
ers lost their positions in those four
years.
Situation Is Studied.
These facts are brought out at the
First National Schoolview and School
mart being held here in conjunction
Association of Public School Business
Officials, whose efforts are being
backed by National Advisory Com
mittee of leaders in business, finance
and public life. Teachers College
of Columbia University and the
School of Education of New York Uni
versity are cooperating.
The National Schoolmart consists
of 125 exhibits of the latest school
equipment. Twelve thousand COM
panies in this country make or dis
tribute articles used in the schools.
How this business has suffered since
1880 may be judged from the slump
in total school expenditures. In 1880
total expenditures for public schools,
not including night or Summer ses-
sions, were $2,306, ,965,557 excluding
the payment of maturing bonds. In
1888 expenditures were $2,180, ,558, $50.
Last year the cut in textbook pur-
chases alone was $5,487,177.
Suffer From Neglect.
The Nations investment in public
school plants at the end of 1880 was
SLIPS, 704, 900, including endowment
funds, or equal to 7.2 per cent of the
assessed valuation of all property in
the United States. The money invest
ed in school buildings and equipment
is equal to one-fourth of the value
of all personal property in this coun-
try One might suppose that such a
huge public investment would be well
guarded, yet fully Is per cent Of the
247,289 public school buildings emu
merated in the 1880 census are now
suffering from neglect. In conduct
ing a renovizing or building campaign,
a start might well be made on school
buildings.
In the first three months Of this
year school building expenditures to-
tailed $33 3,959, 900 as against $4,873, 900
in the same period of 1888. Contem-
plated construction in the 81 Eastern
States, according to Dodge Statistical
Research Service, for the first three
months of this year was $l17,845, 500
against $9,308.200 in the same period
of 1893.

~HICAGO, August 1S.-Despite
decreased production, the but
ter industry this month, on

expected to realize an income
of about $4,c00,0OO more than it did
in August. 1893.
This is representative in dollars of

Indications today pointed to an Au-
gust production totaling 100000
pounds, for which it was estimated an
average price of 26 cents a pound will
be paid. Prices actually are higher
than this level now. This will mean
an income of about $39, 100000.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
n YEW YORK, August i8.-The
M trouble with the stock market
VI may be summed up in a
4 single sentence. There are
too many uncertainties.
One Of them Is the political out
look. It is hardly necessary to remind
readers that in two months political
campaign will be in full swing and
that the outcome at this time cannot
be forecast.
When the Roosevelt administration
took office a political truce was de-
clared, but that is long past now and
a prediction period is traditionally
one unsettling to the stock market.
Whether one is a supporter or an
opponent of the new deal Is OF no
importance so far as a recognition
of this fact Is concerned.
Two other situations restraining
commitments in securities are the un-
determined effect of the drought on
farm purchasing power and the extent
to which industrial recovery will be
checked by labor troubles.

NEAR WALTER REED
HOSPITAL:
Far enough out to be nice and
cool in hot days that are to
come, reasonable enough to fit
everyone'S purse and near
enough to transportation makes
this apartment worth while.
This is the roomiest small apart
ment I have come across. A
spacious living room with a sun
porch which could be utilized as
a bedroom, q very large dressing
room and a kitchen which
would hold a dinette set with
out being crowded. A clever ar
rangement in the kitchen con-
sisted of shelves and cabinets
built-in along the wall, also the
electric refrigerator which saves
a great deal Of space. Lovely
ornate wall brackets, numerous
floor plugs and built-in shower
complete this suite in this most
modern new building. The
rental is $4,000. Also to be had
in this same building were sew
eral furnished two-room, kitchen
and bath apartments ranging in
price from $62.50 to $4,000.
$500 BLOCK OF
ONTARIO ROAD
Keeping the building in the
best possible condition at all
times and doing everything for
the comfort and convenience Of
its tenants is just one Of the
reasons why this apartment
building, located in the. 1900
block Ontario Road, is one Of
the most popular in the city and
seldom has a vacancy. This
building, which Is modern and
up-to-date in every respect, Is
located near Rock Creek Park
and is convenient to the car
lines serving this section Of the
city. The apartment consists
of two bedrooms, living room,
dinette, kitchen and bath. The
kitchen is equipped with one Of
the new model ranges, and the
electric refrigeration is on the
house current. For a family
with children this place is ideal,
as there is plenty of outdoor
space for them to play, and the
rental is most moderate at
$47.5O.

In my tour Of the city in
quest of interesting houses and
apartments I have found many
unusual places. My files con-
tain numerous liStings which I
will be glad to submit for your
approval.
1000 BLOCK OF s STREET:
Right off Connecticut Avenue
on the corner Of Twentieth and
s Streets is q three-story bay
front red brick house and base
ment. This house would be
ideal for so many things. When
I saw it I thought how nice it
would be for a doctors or den
lists office where he could also
provide home for his family.
Nine rooms and two baths, four
of which are bedrooms would
also be ample space for a large
family. This house could be
converted into a business prop
erty if tenant so desired. The
very reasonable amount Of $85
is asked.
SIXTEENTH AND IRVING
STREETS:
On exclusive Sixteenth Street
near Columbia Road in an apart
ment of distinctive atmosphere
there will be q five-room, kitchen
and bath suite at the rental OF
$4,000. The kitchen in this
apartment is unusual in size and
is beautifully equipped with up
to-date appointments. Massive
closets, affording splendid stor-
age space, will delight the
ladies of the house. AS in all
buildings of the older type the
rooms are huge and furniture
can be arranged to a great adj
vantage. A cafe in the building
provides an added convenience
as we'll as the nearneSs Of the
