CAR PRICE RISE

NEW YORK. Sept. (C.T.P.s).
Alfred P. Sloan, chairman Of the

ton that automobile prices will go
higher.
I can't tell" he said, Gust
how much the rise will be. I am
sure there will be further in
crease with the introduction Of
the 1888 models"
Declaring that the boost is jus
titled by the increase in materials,
Mr.. Sloan said 1T is reasonable
to suppose that the increases in
prices will affect the volume of
the sale somewhat but this cannot
alter the fact that prices will have
to rise"

FARM FAMILIES
MOVING IN WEST
RELIEF PROBLEM
Shift From Drought
Areas Increases

GN.S) Continued migration
Of thousands Of farm families
from the drought-stricken great
plains Of the West to Washington,
Oregon and Idaho has created one
Of the most serious problems in
years for State and Federal gov.
ernments, according to reports to
the Resettlement Administration.
While the relief load generally
in the drought areas has dropped
more than 40 per cent since Janu-
airy, thousands Of farmers, hard
hit by the droughtS Of 1884 and
1886, have invaded the Pacific
Coast States in search Of new
homes. Other thousands went to
California, until that State halted
the migration.
Although the drought has not
been severe this year, the migra-
ton has continued at a greater
pace than last year, reports today
revealed.
Field workers for the RIA re-
ported that 1902 farm families
from the northwestern great
plains drought" States went to
washington, Oregon and Idaho.
This year, up to July /, the last
date on which a check!up was
made, 10,049 families from the
great plains were seeking homes
in the northwestern coast States.
MANY DESTITUTE
OF these, about 81 per cent
have become residents of the COM
munities where they have stopped
as farmers, many as farm
laborerS. The RIA reports show,
however, that only per cent have
been able to secure good farms
and have been able to tide them
selves over until their farms will
support them. About an equal
number have taken up farms
which are not capable of support
ing them, and remain a relief
problem. Some So per cent have
become farm laborers, and because
farm labor is largely seasonal, they
too, present a relief problem.
The rest Of the migrant fami-
lies are destitute, the RIA field
agents report. They have no
no means of support.
