RETAIN GARNER
FOR 1886 RACE
President Answers RumorS
Texan May Be Dropped
From Ticket.

~ Scripps-Ho'-qrd Newspaper Alliance
WASHINGTON. Jan. 17.-From
the President himself. John n. Gar
ner has received assurance that his
name vii be on the national ticket
in 1886.
That, Of course, assumes that Mr.
Roosevelt will again be the presi-
Dental nominee, which no one
doubts.
Close friends Of Mr.. Garner dis
closed today how the President,
aware of speculation that the Texan
might be pigeon-holed for a more
active New Dealer. passed along the
word that the vice presidency was
to remain MS If he cared to stay.
Mr.. Garner earlier had conhded
TO friends hat he was content TO
retire If Mr.. Roosevelt believed it
would be in the interest of the Ad-
ministration and he party.
Although the Vice President has
been far from a spectacular figure
in the Administration, he has per-
formed several noteworthy behind
the-scenes services for the Presi-
dent. His influence is still felt in
the House, over which he ruled IS
Speaker.
Despite his aversion to Washing
ton society. he has the politicians
love for official life. His friends say
he does not enjoy himself quite as
fully as he did when he held the
speakership and greater power over
legislative policies.
He is moderately wealthy and
could retire 10 his pecan ranch in
Uvalde if political fortunes decreed
it.
Two Cabinet members. Henry
Wallace and Harold Ickes. both
former midTestern progressive Re-
publicans, have been mentioned as
vice presidential possibilities. Sem
stors Robert j. Buckley of Ohio,
favorite son in 1892, and Edward r.
Burke Of Nebraska, an ardent New
Dealer, also have figured in specu-
lation. Gov. Paul V. McNutt of In
diana is said to have aspirations for
a place on the national ticket, and
there has been similar talk about
Gov. Clyde L. Herring of Iowa.

CHICAGO, Jan. 1.-THE drunk

death since repeal.
This was revealed today by
figures released from the National
Safety Council in Chicago.
Easy access to liquor following re-
peal has increased the number Of

than it was under prohibition" the
Safety Council said.
Figures obtained by the council
show that from to 10 per cent of
drivers and pedestrians in fatal &C
cidents have been classified by
police as under the influence Of
liquor" or had been drinking"
The report revealed that had
been drinking" drivers have in
creased % per cent and pedestrians
in the same class SO per cent in

in non-fatal accidents has been so

DR.. H. A. Keise, Milwaukee, Wis,
who analysed 119 automobile acct
dents involving death or injury to
116 persons at UniontoWn, Pa,
states that he finds a measurable
loss of efficiency when as little as
one ounce of whisky has been con-
sumed."
His survey, the report said, re-
vealed that so per cent of the acct
dents and rs per cent of those killed
or injured were alcohol accidents"

but that there is, in many occu- pations, concentration of earn ings at the minimum for such oc- cupation. The report adds:
 More than four-fifths of the female trimmers and inspectors, creelers and drawing frame tend- CTS, covered in tho South were on the basic minimum wage interval, 30 to 32 1-2 cents an hour. A similar condition obtains for fe- male filling hands in the North. Less marked but still extensive concentration at the minimum ex- ists for other more skilled occupa- tions, both male and female. In some occupations it is approxi- mateIy true that the basic mini- mum wage is the maximum which can be earned in that occupation.
 Differcntial Has Narrowed
 In the changes that have been made in IS months in rates of pay under the influence of the code minimum wage, the Bureau finds that the differential generally has been narrowed by raising most of the lowest paid occupations. In both North and South the general tendency has been to increase low paid occupations in larger propor- tion than in more highly skilled occupations. The report adds:
 "This narrowing of relative hourly earning ability between the skilled and semi-skilled worker has contributed to the dissa atisfaction that prevails in the industry. In some cases, particularly for semi skilled workers in the South, the differential has been narrowed even when expressed in cents per hOiIrp

Customary differontials between various grades of skill in cotton mill work have not been main tnined under the Cotton Textile Code, says tho Bureau of Labor Statistics in :ts report, but 1t adds significantly that "the code did not provide that they should be main- tained." It Is found that the in- creases in the average hourly earnings by occupations are such that 40 hours of work in August, 1884, would have produced as large weekly income as existed for the longer hours worked bc. fore the code. However, tho phrase average hourly earnings"
 Is found to be deceptive.
 Narrowing of relative hourly
 earning ability between skilled and semi skilled workers has cons
 tributed to prevailing dissatisfnc- tion, the Bureau finds. However,
 the report adds:
 Despite the narrowing of dif- ferentials, the fact remains that
 the post-code wage rates would yield with 40 hours work earnings equal to those received for 54 or
 more hours work under pre-code conditions. Tn the North tho small- est percentage increase in the av-
 craze hourly earnings of any occu-
 patton from July, 1893 to August, 1894, was 36 percent. In 40 hours the post code wage would nave
 yielded as much as 54 hours at the pre-code wage.
 Wage Base Substantial
 "In all, there were II occupa- tions with wage increases adc. quate to equate the earnings In 70 hours in August, 1884, with the wages before the code applied to work week of more than 54 hours and less than SO. The other 22 occupations in the North, and all of the occupations in the South, would have paid weekly wages, had 40 hours of work been available, more than equal to the earnings in 60 hours before the code"
 In August, 1884, average hourly earnings in the South ranged from | 3O.4 cents per hour for rowing men and truckers to G0.7 cents for fore- men. In the North the averages ranged from 32.5 cents for cleaners of machinery to 6B.6 cents per hour for foremen.. The report says that minimum
 wages have not become the tl1n4i'
