reply was:
Il never want him to see me in

daughter Annette. %, and her chum
of the same age, Miss Seigh.
The argument grew hotter.

alyzed man upon whom part Of Tom
MONEYS hopes for freedom is based,

what happened the week after the
San Francisco bombings for which
Mooney is serving life in prison.
Earlier, Macdonald, testifying at
his hospital here before a special
referee Of the California Supreme

framed" by prosecuting officials in
San Francisco.
His account Of his activities during
the week was given on direct exam
ination by counsel for Mooney. It
was on cross-examination that Deputy
Attorney General Cleary of Califor-
mia wrung from the witness a state
ment that he did not now recall his
actions during the significant week.
Counsel Objects to Questions.
John Finerty Of Washington.
Mooney counsel. objected strenuously,
contending Cleary was simply at
tempting to confuse the grey-haired
Macdonald.
Cleary retorted:
Il don't know that Macdonald re-
members, but do believe that after
the ten years in which he has been
worked on by Mooney sympathizers
that he really does not know what
happened"
George r Davis. also attorney for
Mooney, charges that is simply blus-
ter for the record" and asked that
Referee A. E. Shaw order Cleary's re-
mark stricken from the record.
Shaw replied that the remark al
ready was in the record and that if
it were stricken out we also would
have to cut out much of your tesu-
mony"
Asked II Memory Clear.
Cleary again asked Macdonald If
his memory was clear on the subject.
Macdonald replied:
mo, sir"
The Deputy Attorney General, turn
ing toward Finerty, said
There's your answer"
Finerty shouted in reply:
Its not the truth"
Referee Shaw then remarked to
Finerty:
We'll, he is your witness"

Unfortunately this Is not true of all
industry, or, in fact, any ether indus
try at present. If 1t we're, it would
be the finale of the gloom era, be-
cause this phase of business activity
is the single key to the unemploy-
ment problem. The bulk Of the job
less is in durable goods industries.
They are the men who make equip
ment for the manufactures They
will never get back TO work until
manufacturers find that demand war
rants expansion.
First to Recover.
The automobile makers found it out
been the first to recover. The reason
is they decided to put out a better
product at a cheaper price. The way
the public gobbled up that product
was beyond expectations. Production
continued abnormally high into the
Summer season; late orders had to
be rushed through for steel.
Next year the motor men are not
going to be caught short that way.
They are expanding.
A somewhat similar situation de-
peloped in Summer clothing. Man
utacturers underesttmdted de-
n,dnd; failed to manufacture
enough goods to meet it, That is
why Fall goods are being adper-
tised so early this year.
When industry generally encounters
this situation forces will be gener-
ated to bring on the economic price
imitation. The best economists do not
believe the time will come this Fall,
but they will bet on It for early next
year.
The tip is now being spread around
that the stock market has over
anticipated Fall business improvement.
That plant appeared in an admins
tration magazine this week
The argument was advanced that
Fall improvement belongs to a past
era when farmers did not receive their
income until they marketed their
crops 1t is an inconsequential half
truth. The great bulk of farm prod
ucts still moves in the Fall, although
the New Dealers are passing out con-
siderable money ahead of time.
