Good week ends Of shopping, in

with the bargains" in any other
branch of retailing, and hardware is
getting its full share of the existing
business.
That dealers stocks are being kept
conservatively low is shown by the
prevalence of mail orders and h1l-in
buying, reported by all jobbers. Or
ders for Fall delivery are not COM
ing up to expectations, but are rea-
sonably numerous in proportion as
prices become settled.
There is more waiting a while"
than a year ago. The psychology Of
an election year is having some re-
tarding influence, but wholesalers feel
that the chief excuse for sl6wness
in future ordering is the lateness Of
this Spring. In all quarters there Is
confidence that Fall buying is only
deferred, and must come with some
thing of rush later on.
Current retail gains, despite dis
couraging weather. and the major ca
lamities in some sections, are generally
estimated at a rate some 10 to Is per
cent ahead Of April, 1885.
Notable in good sales records are
builders hardware and plumbing sup
plies, where new building and repairs
have brought some houses a volume
nearly double that entered to this date
a year ago.
Prices in these lines are very firm.

Prof. Picard said at 10 am. a rip

TO AIR NAVIGATION
Conference Preparing List
to Guide AirWays' De-
veIopment.

Creation Of a master list of aids to
air navigation in the United States to
guide the Federal Government in its
development of the Nations airways
system was begun today at confer
ence in the Commerce Department
of representatives of all the country's
air transport lines, private aviation
operators, the Bureau Of Air Com
merce, aviation officials Of the Post
ONCE Department, Army, Navy and
Coast Guard and heads of State avia-
ton departments.
Considered one of the most impor-
tant conferences held on aviation
during the past two years. the meet
ing follows hard on the report Of the
Senate Aircraft Safety Subcommittee,
in which Federal airway aids were
severely criticized. The result Of the
conference, it was pointed out, there
fore may stand either as a vote. OF
confidence in the Bureau Of Air Com
merce by all of the leaders in Amer
ican aviation, or as an indictment Of
the present system.
From the master list developed by
the conferees the Commerce Depart
ment will draw up set of projects
scheduled for construction as funds
become available during coming
months and years.
Many projects Of importance to
air transport operations and to mill
tary and private flying in the Dis
trict are under consideration.
Among them are relocation and in
stallation of airways weather broad
cast and radio range beacon service;
completion of the Federal airway from
Washington to Nashville, Tenn; in
stallation Of a lighted airway from
Washington to Cincinnati: installa-
ton of a blind landing system at
Washington Airport; construction of
radio traffic control system at the
local airport; Strengthening of the
airways between Washington and
Pittsburgh; modernization Of local
airways radio facilities, and establish
ment of direct teletype service between
Washington and Cleveland.
1t was revealed at the conference
that the Army Air Corps is UNDER
taking a parallel development of mill
tary airways and now is preparing to
install II simultaneous weather broad
casts and radio range stations. The
closest of these stations probably will
be at Langley Field, Va.

forts to relieve congestion in the polls
of Montgomery County's two most
heavily populated areas before the

tions this Fall were one step nearer

Conditional approval Of the imme-
diate purchase of voting machines for
Wheaton and Bethesda districts was
voted by the county commissioners
yesterday, the only stipulations be-
ing the approval of laws for their
opera ton and the terms for their pur-
chase.
~ Thirty-fve of the machines are to
be installed in the two precincts at
once to expedite the handling of
voters and the compiling of returns
II no barriers are encountered in the
two stipulations made by the COM
n.issioners.
A formal request for an opinion on
the strength of the laws governing
the use of the voting machines was
to be forwarded today to Attorney
General Herbert r. O'Connor by Ira
@. Whitacre, clerk to the commits
Stoners.
Negotiations likewise were to be
opened with the manufacturer in an
effort to purchase the machines on
terms outlined by the board-a
$1,000 initial payment and $4,000 an
nual installmentS. The machines will
cost approximately 5000 apiece.
Proponents advocting installation of
the new equipment claim the ma
chimes eventually will pay for them
selves by the saving realized through
the elimination of extra clerks, over
time pay for clerks in computing re-
turns and elimination of the need for
dividing heavily populated precincts.

precincts in the most thickly settled
sections of Wheaton and Bethesda

Man, 81, Jailed in Probe of
Bloody Riot at Ohio
Steel Plant.
BY the Associated Press.

PORTSMOUTH, Ohio. June a.
Law enforcement agencies prepared
today to charge one man with murder
and hunted others as they pushed an
investigation into yesterdays bloody
riot at the Wheeling Steel Corp. plant
at nearby New Boston.
President Parker F. Wilson Of the
corporation broke off strike settlement
negotiations with q committee Of the
Amalgamated Association Of Iron,
Steel and Tin Workers and blamed it
for ''cowardly attack" on company
guards.
Guard George Meyers, 38. was shot
and killed and four other persons
were wounded in a furious gunfight.
which was set of by an attempt of
the company to move food from one
plant to another across q street in
New Boston.
Sheriff Arthur Oakes jailed James
Sexton, 81, and after an investiga-
ton said he would charge him with
murder. Oakes said Sexton was seen
with a gun following the riot.
Local law enforcement officers,
aided by National Guard observers,
intensified attempts to identify men,
bers of what Wilson described as a
rifle squad purposely located in am
BUSH"
Members of the Amalgamated Strike
Committee, which called the strike a
month ago, asserted yesterday the
company guards fired the first shots.
We cannot regard Tuesdays shoot
ing as anything other than cold
blooded murder and we absolutely re-
fuse to negotiate or deal further with
any committee responsible for such
action" Wilson said in a statement.
