CHAIN OF CLUES
 HELP TO POLICE
Hit=and=Run Fatalities May Be Solved Through
 Public's Cooperation

Relentless and tireless work of the traffic accident squad in the inves- tigation of the two hit-and-run fa- talities which occurred here within a span of a week, has to date net ted chain of clues and evidence, which will be highly instrumental in clearing up both cases.
 The majority of the clues have been provided by citizens who have telephoned information to the po- lice department. When the inves- tigation started, under the direc- ton of Sergeant Joseph McEvoy and Sergeant Charles McWeeney, there was nothing to work on but a broken door handle in the Max well case, and broken headlight Tense in the Bush, or Balcunas death.
 Since then however, the police de- partment has been swamped with telephone calls and personal calls from persons who have information relative to both cases. All informa- tion is held in strictest confidence.

"All of the taxpayers have been notified of delinquency and payment of contributions has been demanded as required by the law. Contribu- ton collections are paid into fund from which the eligible unemployed workers will receive benefits after January l. In order to protect the states rights and the rights of the unemployed to receive benefits, the law requires us to take this drastic action against the few employers who are not complying with the law It is not fair to the thousands of employers who are cooperating with the state in building a reserve against unemployment that a few others should obstruct the program while receiving considerable bene- fit from it."

The first tax warrants issued for non-payment of unemployment con- tributions due to the state are now being served, Labor CommiSsione Joseph M. Tone announced today. The tax warrants cover contribu- tions based upon 1936 wages paid by employers who are subject to the Unemployment Compensation Law.
 Twelve tax warrants, covering $500 due to the state since March l, are now being served by deputy sheriffs," Commissioner Tone stated. "The warrant authorizes the sheriff to levy on the taxpayers property or commit him to jail III the event payment is not secured. In addition to contributions due, the taxpayer must bear the cost of interest pen- alties and sheriff's fees"

By the Associated Press,


Federal Reserve Board offlcial,
limited today that other Federal Re.
serve Banks may follow those In Chi
cago, Atlanta and Minneapolis n
whiting their discount rates.
Reserve institutions in the three
cities have shared the rates from 2 tc
l u per cent to give member banks an
unlimited supply OF cheap money
which can he loaned to the farmer
the business man and the industrialist
In approving the reductions, the
Reserve Board held fast to its "easy
money" policy, designed to maintain a
free flow OF credit.
Informed authorities said there is q
possibility that the New York Reserve
Bank may cut its ~ per cent dis.
count rate to percent to bring rate,
on advances more nearly in line with
those available in the money market
Any decision, however, will rest with
the New York institution itself.

into play another in . series of credit
controls operated during the last year
Twice in this period, the Reserve
Board has increased deposit reserve
requirements to freeze" portion OF
excess bank reserves of lendable funds
The higher requirements were de-
signed to eliminate the possibility Of a
harmful credit imitation.
After an increase was effected this
Spring, however money rates began to
tighten. The Government bond mar
ket became unsettled and the board
began buying Government securities
This buying sent stream Of cash
into banks which sold Federal obli-

RISING COSTSCAST
SHADOW ON TRADE
Endicott Johnson Decision
to Cut Work Week Is
Significant Move.
BY the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, August 24-Rising
costs cast deepening shadow across
the business profit equation.
For several months observers have
watched climbing raw material costs
and wages with msgivings. Too rapid
or too extensive upturns in operating
cost would throw monkey-wren III
the business machine, they held.
Last week analysts found food for
thought in the decision Of Endicott-
johnson Corp. to cut its work week to
three days. Officials of the company,
second largest hoe-manufacturing
concern in the country. said the
throttling down Of output was made
necessary by two factors-overprodu
ton and large inventories of finished
shoes and leather.
Shoe manufacturers, in common
with producers of other products, are
up against higher wage and raw ma
terial costs. Another factor which
has made tougher the job of working
out the profit answer has been the
development Of resistance to increased
retail prices
Faces Three Methods.
The manufacturer burdened with
heavier costs may do one of three
things. He may for a time absorb
the rising costs and sell his goods al
10 advance in price. He may boost
prices and run the risk Of shrinking
sales. Or he may conserve his inan-
cial energy by slowing down produc-
ton.
1t is no accident that compa nies
showing declines in earnings in the
first half year from the like 1895
period include units which have had
operating costs lifted by increased
wages, strikes and higher raw ma
terial prices
A few such companies are: Cen
eral Motors, Chrysler Commercial
Solvents, National Biscuit, Corn
Products, Melville Shoe, First National
Stores and National Dairy.
BY experts it is regarded as a virtual
certainty that manufacturers will pass
on higher costs to the consumer, If
they have not already done so.
Farm Income Helps.
Analysts attempting to chart what
this will mean to profits during the
next several months stress one very
bright phase of the problem-increased
farm income
This year farm income is expected
to reach the highest peak since 1929,
according to today's estimate by the
Department Of Agriculture The esti-
mate shows income from farm prod
ucts will probably run around s9o00.-
100000, or more than sl000,OOO 900
higher than last year. However, re-
cent declines in prices may cut this
Energy from this source, it is ar
gued. will go a long way to help
absorb higher prices for manufac-
tured goods.
