Helena, Mont, Hit by
Series of Quakes

HELENA, capital of Montana, and all
l. the western part of that state
were terrified by series of earthquake
shocks extending through number
of days. There were only two fatal
tiles, but numerous buildings were
wrecked or so weakened that they had
to be razed. Hundreds of persons
were driven from their homes, and the
suffering was intensified by a sudden
fall of the temperature to below freez-

city were not broken. National Guards
men patrolled the business district and
all public places were closed for days.

Industrial Union Bloc
Loses Warm Fight

John L. LEWIS, president Of the
- United Mine Workers, and his in
dustrial union bloc lost hot battle
when the American Federation of La
Dor, in convention in Atlantic City,
voted to continue the policy adopted
last year in San Francisco. This
policy was to organize workers in mass
production industries, such as automo-
bile and steel, along industrial lines
with due protection of the rights Of
craft unions.
Lewis and his followers proposed
that the mass production industries
be organized, one union for each in
dustry, with the craft unions kept out
altogether.
William Green was reelected presi-
dent of the federation and next years
convention was awarded to Tampa,
Fla. Proposals for the formation Of
a national Labor party were defeated.

If rigidly enforced, this would cut
off about two-thirds Of the export trade
upon which Italy depends in getting
funds for prosecution of the war in
Africa. The countries applying the
sanctions agree to aid one another in
compensating losses by increased trade
facilities, credits, cash and loans II
possible, and discriminating against
league members such as Austria and
Hungary which continue to trade with
Italy.
Austria, Hungary and Albania spoke
against the sanctions. Switzerland,
which seeks to preserve her traditional
neutrality, was silent. Some South
American republics made complicated
reservations.
1t was decided that the sanctions
should be put in force on October 81,
and Laval thus had time to continue
his peace efforts. These seemed to
center on a way to "legalize" Italian
occupation of that part of northern
Ethiopia which Mussolini's troops have
seized and to arrange for Italy's par
tial control over the entire empire.

DIR. Hugh S. Magill
Objects to Shoppers

nR. HUGH S. MAGILL, who as
~ president Of the American Fed
Grafton Of Investors has been annoyed
by congressional Investigators, has
written to all members Of congress
letter asking whether American citi-
zens "still have the right to express
their approval or disapproval with re-
spect to pending legislation without
being harassed by 'inquisitors.'
The federation opposed the recent
enactment of the death sentence" for
unnecessary" holding companies and
was under investigation by the senate
lobby committee.
In an open letter to senators and
representatives, Magill said he had
refused" to permit representatives OF
the committee 'to read my personal
and private correspondence" He as
serted the federation 'is not a lobby
ing organization as that term is COM
monty used"
"Having thus been confronted by
these inquisitors sent out by commit
tee of the senate Magill wrote, may
l inquire in all seriousness whether or
not you approve of such action? II
you do approve, how can you justify
such procedure when the Constitution
specifically provides that the right Of

bad for the stomach; or, often, for
the heart. And the discovery Of
Bayer Aspirin largely changed
medical practice.
Countless thousands of people

proved that the medical findings
about its safety were correct.
Remember this: Genuine Bayer

Republicans Happy Over
Bay State Election

TT DOESN'T take much these days
to cause the Republicans to rejoice.
The latest event hailed by them as a
harbinger of victory next year was
merely a by-election in Massachusetts
to fill vacancy in the state senate.
The district normally is Republican
and this time as usual Republican
was elected. The reason for the
G. o. P. shouts was found in the de-
creased vote polled by the Democrats,
and the fact that Salem, mill town
and former Democratic stronghold, was
captured by the Republicans.

KANSAS CITY, July 31.-Rural
middle America Is going off relief.
BY thousands, farm families are be-
coming self-supporting, aided by better
and their own efforts, an Associated
Press survey showed today.
Since a year ago approximately
10000 Kansas farm families have
worked themselves off the relief rolls
and $500 families are beating back
with the aid Of rehabilitation loans,
Carl Howard, supervisor of farm man
Agement of the Federal Resettlement
Administration for the State, reported.
Kansas farmers were taken OF relief
last month, and not more than 500
families are still getting this aid, How
ard said.
OF 1900 Minnesota families on
relief in 1884, almost halls, 900
again are on their feet through Gov
ernment loans to buy horses, cattle
and seed and because of better crops.
Nebraska farm families on relief
have dropped from about 5000 to a
negligible number today.
In July, 1884, there were 27,484
Wisconsin farmers on drought relief.
In June, 1885. the number had drop
ped to $50. Relief Statistician Her
man Somers said this reversal was due
to splendid weather conditions and
improved farm prices"
Incomplete information from Illi-
nois indicated that "in 43 counties
with heavy rural population" relief
clients dropped from 23,149 in 1884 to
1888 in July, 1885.
Missouri relief officials reported some
$500 farm families have become self
supporting through the rural rehabili-
tation program this year."
Iowa farm relief authorities said
S,578 rural families were receiving
drought aid on March /, 1885, but the
number had been reduced to 1919
late in July.
Drought Area Cuts Rolls.
North Dakota, heavily hit by drought
last year, had 32,102 farmers on re-
lief, but the number has been reduced
to 22,337. OF these many ARE re-
ceiving only partial aid" F. E. r. A.
Statistician F. c. Hauser said.
In the West Utah and Nevada re-
ported increases in relief cases this
year. c. o. Stott, Utah resettlement
chief, said effects of the drought still
are being felt in the State" and
Nevada relief headquarters statement
asserted farmers have had too
short a time to become self-support-
ing or better their crop conditions"
Better crop and water conditions re-
duced Arizona's rural relief load from
5000 to $500 families.
Idaho reported 5,100 families on re-
lief. OF 465 helped through rehabili-
tation channels in the past year, less
than 10 per cent have had any

A Minnesota relief official asserted
"if crop conditions continue excellent
and prices are right, virtually all cases
will go of relief and be self support

Without making any recommends
tions pro or con. q subcommittee,
headed by Representative Samuel B.

committee made was to delete the
provision empowering the Secretary Of
Interior to buy $500, 100000 worth OF
coal mines and retire them from pro-
duction.
The subcommittee's failure to ap-
prove the bill was reported to be due
to doubts as to its constitutionality.
Recently President Roosevelt wrote
Chairman Hill advising that the sub
committee should not permit doubts
as to constitutionality, however rea-
sonable," block the legislation.
The bill is being backed by the

Of coal operators as means of sta
bilizing the industry and enabling it
to meet the unions terms. Some
other operators, opposing the meas
ure, estimated it would increase the
Nations coal bill by more than
$5O0,000,000. The increase per ton
would be $1.55, the operators es-
timated.
As q matter of political policy, 1t
was reported, the Democratic men,
bers of the subcommittee decided the
bill should not die In the subcommit-
tee. They would go no further, how
ever, than to report the bill back to
