Gates the varying effect Of the
floods on essentially industrial and
rural sections. Where factories
arc the main livelihood for the
citizens, the drop is immediate
and the recovery also is rapid.
Where the bulk of the folk are
farmers, emergency demands may
add to sales so much that they
may surpasS normal times while,
after the immediate demands
have been filled and the flood
waters rcccdc, Scant savings are
apt to be depleted and economies,
not Spcndings, arc the order OF
the day.
Mayor Edgar r. WaShburn of
Paducah. Ky, reported that bust
ness in his community was halted.
except in a section known as Ar
cadia, during the entire time that
flood waters ragged over most Of
that area. Flood damage IN
Paducah, the mayor estimated,
will approximate $4,000, 900.
Naturally, extensive construction
work will have to be done. He re-
ported that rehabilitation was be-
ing financed by individuals in con,
junction with the Red Cross and
the Disaster Loan corporation,
which was set up especially to OF
fer financial aid wherever posi-
bic, the mayor said.
Other agencies which are play

Respectively Ahead Of
Last Year

United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, AprIi y. (UP).
When future economists study
business charts of early 1887 they
will fin da little valley in late
January and early February and
then Il renewed rise.
That is all the floods did to
American business, survey here
by the United Press shows.
The figures for steel inGotS are
typical of this recession. They
show that plants were operating
at so per cent Of their capacity
during the week Of January %,
declined to 70 per cent the follow
ing week and then snapped back
to so per cent the week of Fcbru-
ary 6. The "bad" weeks showing
was due to floods in the Ohio val
lev and the figure has been up
ward since mid-Fcbruary.
Secretary of Commerce Daniel
&. Roper said that, in spite Of in
luStrial disturbances and such
sectional hindrmccS' rs the
spring floods and midwcStcrn dust
storms, business progress con-
tinucs. He pointed out that IN
duStrial production was now 20
per cent while business generally
throughout the country was 10
per cent ahead Of last year.
FLOOD DRENCHED AREAS
REPLACEMENT ZONES
As citizens of flood drcnchcd
homes of Ohio river towns return
ed to find furniture damaged and
merchants looked over goods
which had been water soaked, the
need for requirements became
acute. As sales started in retail
stores, the demand affected
wholesalers and sono the cycle OF
sales was back ofactoricS IN all
sections OF the nation,
Department of commerce re-
ports show that in one week IN
mid-Fcbruary Cincinnati whole
sale dry goods sales increased 40
per cent owe rthe preceding week
and were Il third more than IN
1886. The same story was true
for Louisville, Evansville and
other Chic river valley communI-
ties.
Burnett Reed Of the Cincinnati
Chamber of Commerce said of the
situation in that Ohio community,
which is. typical Of the entire re-
giOn:
"Thc commercial affect Of the
flood was the loss of 10 days re-
tail business and the rctardatlon
of production schedules III those
manufacturing concerns which
were affected. Figures are not

this retail business has been. re

purchases.

Laugh at Farley
Ever since James A. Farley
named Senator Arthur RI. Vanden-
berg as the Republican Presidential
nominee for 1910, there has been
lots of chuckling over Postmaster
Jim's taking in more territory, and
running the Republican party as
well as the Democratic.
But there was plenty of shrewd
strategy behind Jim's move. 1t just
SO happens that Senator Vandenberg
is far from being the easiest Re-
publican to beat. in Farley's estima-
ton. There are lots OF Republicans
Jim thinks could be beaten much
more easily. In fact. if Jim were
to take down his hair and tell you
the cold truth, he would admit that
he would regard Vandenberg as the
very hardest Republican to beat Of
any now on the horizon.
Why then would he try to help
nominate him?

Might Be Worse


ington-the bright lads who look aft
er the interests of the various in
dustries, etc.--are relieved that the
wages and hours bill is going
through this session, surprising as
that may seem.
Not that they like 1t. With one
accord they agree that it is terri
BILE. But they think that il Its pas
sage were delayed until next SEES
sion it would be worse.
When they saw how William
Green marched up to the Capitol,
after being relegated to the has
beens by SO many commentators,
and put few teeth in the measure,
they realized that If passage could
have been postponed the measure
would be much more radical than
it is now.
For instance, there is only hair
line now holding the minimum
wages that the board can fix for a
community at 40 cents an hour.
There is provision slipped into the
bill by Green, which provides that
the board may not fix minimum
less than the minimum obtained
by collective bargaining.
But being as the limit is fixed at
40 cents, the board simply could not
interfere with a concern which was
paying a minimum OF 40 cents,
though the minimum established by
collective bargaining in that vicin-
ity might be SO cents.
Obviously the two elements were
injected in the bill without thought
of their working together. And OBJ
viously the natural inclination of ev-
cry New Dealer would be to take
out that minimum of 40 cents i'm
favor Of any action which might
tend to raise it.
So what the business representa-
tives think is that il there we're
more time to work on the measure
If II were put over until next session
to study-the fiat minimum would
be boosted.
Obviously such an amendment
can be proposed next. session, and
beyond any question will be. But
to head off an amendment after a
law has been In operation less than
a year-before 1t has really got to
workings not difficult. It is 50
easy to make the point that time
must be allowed to see how the
machine works before any tinkerinq
