Sloan called the meeting, attended
BY some 300 famous Americans, to
review possibilities for employment In
the future, to look into the prospect

and to contradict, If possible, the

Policies Formulated.
He posed the question:
Can we look forward to
accelerating and consolidating the
progress of natural recovery: is it true
that to have more we must produce
less?"
On this theory, he said, many of
our national economic policies are
being formulated" The audience
cheered DR.. Glenn Frank, president
of the University Of Wisconsin, when
he said:

TRUCKING BEGUN
AS STRIKE ENDS
Opposing Minneapolis Fac
tions Agree to Abide by
ArbiterS' Decision.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
MINNEAPOLIS, May 26.-Truck
service was resumed today after strik-
ing drivers voted to accept at a mass
meeting last night an agreement
which had been worked out at a
series of conferences of strike lead
ers and employers, ending an 1l-day
walkout marked by bloody riots, in
which one man was killed and scores
injured.
AT an early hour today trucks
began moving and the market dis
trict began filling with vehicles, as
farmers moved into the trading area
without interference.
Merchants were on hand to rush
provisions to their stores which had
been almost depleted OF perishables
Trucks Of all types Of stores were
backed up at the railway depots
which had become crammed with
freight.
Employers met to obtain signatures
to the agreement from firms affected
by the strike, their Steering Com
mittee already having approved the
pact.
The final step in negotiations will
be the filing by strikers and employ
ers Of signed agreement with the
Regional Labor Board.
Terms of the agreement signed last
night authorized appointment of an
arbitration board of seven by the
Regional Labor Board and stipulated
both sides must abide by any deci-
sion handed down in settlement OF
differences. The arbitration boards
rulings will be final, with no appeal
to the National Labor Board per-
mitted.
The settlement provides for recog-
milton of the union, collective bar
gaining, seniority rights, forbids dis
elimination against employees who are
union members and provides for wage
scales and hours of work.

Auto Makers Move Quickly.

In automobiles, manufacturers al
ready are putting out models with
fewer gadgetS on them. These sell for
about the same as the base price
models before the price increase.
Such shrewd tactics are bringing
back the automobile market. When
the small overstocking Of silks and
cigarettes is absorbed. production will
again have TO be measured TO demand
in those lines.
There is one other factor, which
may not cure itself. That is the ap-
parently dissatisfied mental attitude
of number of business men who are
talking behind their hands. They
probably are encouraged toward
doubts by the trend in the stock
market.
The adjournment of Congress will
make them feel lot better.
The condition Of affairs can be
analyzed from the following monthly
chart. 1t is seasonally adjusted on
the basis Of 1928 to 1925 averages, each
figure representing the percentage OF
normal at the time stated.

What's What
Behind News
InCapital
Recession in Business
Above Normal but
Not Seriously.
BY PAUL MALLON.

TINE current warm weather busi-
ness recession is slightly more
than seasonal. The May de-
L cline will be about one or two
points beyond the normal de-
cline from Aprils to Mays back in
1923 to 1925.
That is more than had been ex-
pected, but not enough to worry
about.
It is caused by several things. One
is overstocking. For instance, textile
production has been so much that the
silk mills shut down by agreement for
a whole week in May.
Another reason is sales resist
ance to some price increases. That
factor is particularly noticeable in
automobiles and building. After
the automobile price increases, pro-
duction was curtailed and so was
the market. The sharp advance
in building prices had similar
effect.
Also the tobacco manufacturers
have been making more cigarettes
than people are smoking, and have
been stopping a few machines.

EXPIRES ON TRAIN
Country's First Secretary of
Labor Had Been III Sew.
eraI Months.

William Bauchop Wilson, the Ma
tion's first Secretary Of Labor. died
last night aboard a train on his
way from Miami, Fla, to this city.
Ill for many months, he had con-
tinued to carry on his work as an
arbiter in the Illinois mine fields,
which capacity he had filled for sew
eral years. settling many disputes.
The body was removed from the
train at Savannah, Ga, where prep
arations for burial were made. 1t is
being brought on to this city. arriv-
ing late tonight. At the time of his
death q daughter, Mrs. Mary E.
Stroehker, was with him and is ac-
companying the body here, where she
will be met by her brother, Joseph
B. Wilson, lott Monroe street.
In House Six Years.
A member of the House of Repre-
sentatives for six years, Wilson left
in 1918 to serve in President wilson's
cabinet. He was made chief of the
then newly created Department of
Labor.
During the war years and until
1921 he served on the Council Of Ma
tional Defense. Throughout the same
period he was a member of the Fed
eral Board for Vocational Education
and served as chairman from 1920
to 1921.
Wilson was born in Blantyre, Scot
land, April 2, 1862. Coming to Amer
lea at the age of eight years, he
mixed a common school education
with work in the mines. Later he
received honorary degrees from both
Maryland Agricultural College and
Ursinus College.
Helps Create Union.
Interested In mining and the prob
lens of miners throughout his career,
Wilson was member of the commit
tee that created the United Mine
Workers of America. Later he helped
revise and codify the bituminous
mining laws for Pennsylvania.
Wilson's rise from the obScurity Of
a coal mine to the prominent posi-
tion he occupied in the wartime
cabinet is a striking Illustration of
the poor immigrant boy" and his
possibilities in the United States.
Taken from school at the age of
nine years due to the pressing weight
of the debt. which his father had
contracted when he borrowed the
money to bring his family to Amer
lea, Wilson concentrated on a course
of self education throughout his en-
tire life.
His home was at Blossburg, Pa,
where burial will be.

to the 1885 Naval Conference are not
contemplated by Secretary Hull.
Toxic dispatches said today jap
anese officials made no secret Of their
eagernesS to carry on conversations
here similar to the discussions sched-

Hull indicated to reporters that,
while no consideration had been given
the question, the United States would
not suggest that any Of the talks be
held here.
It would seem, he explained, that
centering the talks in London, such
as proposed by Great Britain, would
simplify the entire proceedings and

was discovered. In another case pre-
vious to that, a man described as a
"dark-brown-skinned man" attempted
an assault on a woman resident OF
2400 Sixteenth street.
The only apparent connection be-
tween these three crimes is that in
each case entry seems to have been
made through an opened window
screen.
Thus far, no person has been able
to describe any stranger who entered
the Balfour Apartment at any time
during the day preceding Miss Sheads'
murder. The elevator operators car
ried upstairs none but residents Of
the apartment and employees Of a
decorating firm engaged in redecorat-
ing several apartments. including that
of Miss Sheads. Nobody saw any
stranger walk up the steps, nor did
anybody hear the metallic clank of
the lower section of the fire escape at
a time when the intruder might have
been climbing it. The escape was
heard after the murder when some
one apparently fed, but again no
body caught sight of the fugitive.
A post mortem examination Of the
body, conducted yesterday by Deputy
Coroner Christopher j. Murphy.
showed the cause of Miss Sheads'
death was "asphyxia, caused by
strangulation." DR.. Murphy counted
26 scratches on her neck, and numer-
Gus bruises on her face and shoulders.
Relatives Mystified.
Miss Sheads' only relatives in
Washington are at loss to explain
any motive for the killing. So far
as they knew, they said. she feared
nobody, was not apprehensive of any
impending disaster, and the fact that
she had lived alone for IL years in
the apartment in which she met her
death was offered as strong corrobor-
alton.
The person closest to her In af-
fection was her third cousin, Miss
Lynina Sheads. She said that as far
as she could determine nothing had
been stolen from the apartment, and
even Miss Sheads' jewelry was undis-
turbed. John L. Sheads, jr., second
cousin, whom Miss Sheads had asked

this note had been written at least
