LABOR HELD LOSING
BY LOSS OF N. R. A.
$4,000 to $4,000 Employers Cut
Wages or Added to Hours,
Say Observers.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
National Recovery Administration
observers have reported to headquar-
ters that some $4,000 to 10000 en-
ployers have cut wages or increased
hours or both since the old Blue Eagle
met its death.
The figures are not ofiicial as yet
and authorities decline to attach sig
nificance to them publicly on the
ground that too few companies have
been covered and that more time is
needed to develop any trends fully.
The reports say the predominant
type of departure from previous con-
ditions Is hour raising. N. r. A. has
lists of some 5000 to 5000 employers
who are declared to have increased
hours since June /. Whether these
employers increased weekly wages ac-
cordingly was not shown by the lists.
The number of hour increases listed
was substantially greater in July than
in June and the week-by-week tabu-
lation in July showed comparatively
steady gain in this type of action.
1t was said that the bulk of the
wage cutting and hour increasing is
among smaller firms.

CURIOUS PUBLIC WRECKS
CABIN OF "BABY DOE"
BY the Associated Press.

LEADvILLE, Colo. August IL
Hunters of buried treasure and SOU
yenir seekers have almost demolished
the rude cabin Of Elizabeth Baby
Doe" Tabor on Emile high Fryer Hill.
Windows have been broken, the door
hangs only on one hinge and the
floors and ceiling have been torn
away-apparently by tourists, who be-
lieved the widow of H. A. Tabor. one
time Colorado silver king, may have
hidden q portion of the Tabor mil
lions there.
The heavy roofing paper, with which
Baby Doe lined the rough walls to
keep out winters 20-below-zero
weather, has been stripped away and
even the little stove, with its crooked
pipe, has disappeared. leaving gap
ing hole in the roof through which
the Summer rains trickle.
So far as Is known, all Of the treas
ure hunters have been disappointed.
Apparently the three 81 bills Baby
Doe clutched In her hand when she
was found frozen in the cabin last
March were the last cash assets Of
the once mighty Tabor empire.

Today's price was the lowest since

the price had remained unchanged a.

In dropping Ia cents an ounce to-

The current drop in the world price

CAMDEN STRIKERS
AWAIT new PLAN.
Shipyard Workers Reject
Arbitration Plan to Gain
Union O. K.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CAMDEN, N. j., August 14.-The
1000 striking employees of the New
York Shipbuilding Corp. looked to the
White House today for another move
toward settlement Of their l4-week
walkout.
Rejecting a five-point arbitration
plan proposed by the Navy and Labor
Departments as unprecedented they
appealed to President Roosevelt to at
tempt "a fair settlement of the strike"
Meanwhile Navy contracts totalipg
$50, 100000 for construction of four
destroyers and three cruisers were
held up at the idle shipyards.
A three-man board of arbiters
named by the President was ready to
open hearings in the Governments
proposals when the strikers rejected
the plan last night. The company had
approved 1t as basis for negotiations
The strikers protested the arbitra-
ton plan did not include recognition
Of the union. In telegram the Presi-
dent was told union recognition must
come before the strike is called off"
The strikers said the plan was also
unacceptable because it does not bind
the corporation to the 1884 agreement
pending arbitration. specify the ques-
tions for arbitration or give the Arbi-
tration Board a time limit to reach
decision. The union seeks wage in
creases among other objectives
Earlier in Washington John Green,
executive secretary of the Industrial
Union Of Marine and Shipbuildins
Workers Of America, told a House
labor subcommittee the settlement
plan was too vague"
Union leaders accused Secretary of
Labor Perkins and Assistant Secretary
OF the Navy Henry Roosevelt of being
unfair to the workers. They said the
arbitration proposal was company
inspired
Miss Perkins denied the implication.
She said the plan originated in the
Navy Department.

WORKS UNIT ASKS
GENERAL CENSUS
Committee Urges Roosevelt
AIIot 16 Million for Pop
uIati0n Count.

A general population census, sought
for more than two years by the Census
Bureau, was recommended to Presi-
dent Roosevelt yesterday by the Ad-
visory Committee on Allotments of the
new works program.
The committee asked $4,000, 900 for
a general count of individuals, a sur
vey of occupations and employment,
and a study of youth. The work
would be directed by the Census Bu-
reau. with headquarters here and in
Chicago.
Included in the recommendation
was the employment of $4,000 young
men and women whom the National
Youth Administration, w. P. A. sub
sidiary. intends to supply with part
time jobs At the peak Of employ
ment, continuing about 80 days, 139,-
put to work. For an indefinite period
afterward a clerical force would be
maintained, probably in the Census
Bureau here, to tabulate and analyze
the statistics collected by the field
forces.
1880 Tabulations Obsolete"
The general census is necessary, 1t
was declared, because the 1880 census
tabulations have already become obso-
lete. due to the many trends and
turns of migration that have grown
out of unemployment and the depres-
sion.
Movements Of population since 1880
have been unprecedented, the bureau
declared. and present tables are mac
curate as guide to planning relief
and unemployment activities.
For the same purpose the study of
occupations and employment was
asked Many farms now are popu-
lated by men and women formerly
employed in urban centers but who
were forced to return to rural areas
when that employment ceased.
Youth Study.
The youth study would determine
the educational status young men
and women between 16 and Is years
Of age and is declared necessary to
carry out the program of the Ma
tional Youth Administration.
A bill to authorize a general pop
ulation census was introduced at the
last session of Congress but was
blocked by Republicans who charged
that 1t was intended as a wholesale
patronage measure Immediately prior
TO the last congressional elections.

Another choice political morsel is
that the publicity-shy Eastern ring
masters have decided, in consultation.
that neither Mr.. Hoover nor Senator
Borah will do. They are looking over
some of the other candidates closely
but have not made up their minds.
Their opinions will be worth noting
when they do. because they usually
control the large State delegations
at the conventions.
Wadsworth Unreceptive.
For a time they liked Representa-
tive Wadsworth, but he is supposed to
have told them he will not be can
didate.
Even Robert Lucas was surprised
when Senator Borah ran first in
his poll. The explanation Of it is
that Borah has been secretly building
up correspondence contacts with
Young Republicans out through the
country for more than year. You
may be sure that his votes came
from them and not from the county
chairmen and city leaders who were
polled. In fact, party leaders may
awaken some day soon to find that
Mr.. Borah has established himself
as the leader Of the Young Republican
movement.
1t is suspected that his candidacy
is designed to head of the Hoorer -.
forces land HillesJ and that he
pill Ddit until the conpention to
suing his support to some one so
much like Senator Vandenbero as
to be Vandenberg himself.
Another explanation of Borah's wide
appeal Is that he is one of the few
men in political life who can become
sincerely wistful about the Constitu-
ton. 1t has always been his favorite
subject. Also. he is the shrewdest
of all political-publicity strategists.
He knows how to make the head
lines.
What is helping him most now is
that all the Republican wise men
agree that the Constitution should be
the issue. 1t is the one good issue
on which East and West can unite.
Anti-Lynching Bill Row.
The only secret which Democratic
Senators have managed to keep lately
is the one about the row over the
anti-lynching bill in their legislative
conference.
That sore subject ,Uds not sup
posed to haze been touched at the
meeting. To this day, no one ,Dho
attended has disclosed that it Uds
But as soon as the doors of the
gathering pere closed the question
tDas raised. One Senator from the
Midwest and another from q bor-
der State spoke on it. They de-
manded that the bill be included in
the program of legislation to be
enacted before the end OF the ses-
sion.
This provoked sparkling rejoinders,
not only from Senator Smith of South
Carolina. but from Floor Leader Rob-
inson Of Arkansas. To put 1t mildly,
they saw no reason for tearing the
party apart over this issue on the Sen
ate floor when it was obvious that the
bill could not be passed. The debate
was excessively bitter. Perhaps that is
why both sides decided to forget about
the subject.
