305,oo0 Unemployed Got
Tobs During March

MO ONE knows how many un-
~ employed persons there are in
the country, the estimates ranging
from about 5000, 900, by Secretary
Perkins, to less than 100000. How
ever, according to Madame Per-
kins, the number was reduced by
$685. 900 during March. Weekly pay
rolls for the period, she said, were
$15,l00,000 larger than during Feb
ruary in the manufacturing indus
tries. She said the employment in
crease continued "the practically
unbroken succession of increases
which have been shown each month
since February, 1886"
Of the 305, 1000 workers who OBJ
tanned employment the majority
found jobs in manufacturing and in
retail trade. The secretary said the
government had no way of knowing
how many of the total had been on
relief rolls.

Maine Governor Quick to
Check Strike Violence

= OV. LEWIS o. BARROWS of
~ Maine has lined up with other
state executives who will not stand
for riotous and illegal tactics by
strikers. When an unruly mob of
1000 men tried to storm two of nine
teen factories in Auburn involved
in general shoe strike and the To-
cal authorities were unable to ham
die the situation, Governor Barrows
ordered out eight companies of the
National Guard.
"I'll order out the entire military
forces of Maine, if necessary to pre-
serve constitutional authority" the
executive said.
The trouble followed a state Su-
preme court injunction, issued by
Judge Harry Manser, outlawing the
shoe strike which affects about $500
workers. The mob had been aroused
by speeches by Powers Hapgood,
New England secretary for the c.
I. O., and other organizers.
Keeping foreign agitators" out
of the picture, the representatives
of General Motors of Canada and
of the workers at Oshawa, Ontario,
reached a settlement of the strike in
that plant. The company agreed to
raise wages and shorten work
hours, but does not recognize the
United Automobile Workers of
America. j. L. Cohen, Toronto at
torney who represented the strikers,
said the settlement reached was
"eminently satisfactory"

ton the government revives the
Sherman antitrust act as legal
weapon in regulating business.
The suit named SO officers, direc-
tors, and stockholders of the COM
pany, including Mellon. twenty-five
subsidiary and affiliated companies
were named co-defendants. Other
members of the Mellon family
named with the former Treasury
head are Paul Mellon, Richard K.
Mellon, Jennie King Mellon, Sarah
Mellon Scaife, David K. Bruce, SON.
in-law of Mellon, and Ailsa Mellon
Bruce, his daughter.
Action of the company on March
/, 1887, in advancing the car-lot
price of virgin ingot was cited as
the most recent act of Oppressive
and unreasonable price fixing" in
the petition signed by Cummings
and Robert H. jackson, head of the
department. antitrust division. 1t
is alleged that this advance was
made in the face of an increase in
earnings from $9,571 ,206 in 1885, to
$40, ,866, 1886 in 1886, which amounted
to an increase in common stock
earnings from SIS cents to $S.65 per
share.
The suit charges that the COM
pany is monopoly in violation of
the antitrust laws and that it has
power to fix arbitrary and discrimi-
native prices. 1t charges the de-
PENDANTS with conspiracies to re-
strain and monopolize, attempts to

lation of the Sherman antitrust act.

manded rigid economy to combat
an anticipated drop in federal rev.
enues amounting to $500, 900, 900. Mr..
Roosevelt also said there must be a
careful survey of the nations tax
structure, and intimated that a new
tax bill would be introduced at the
next session of congress.
In correcting the over-estimation
of revenue and the under-estima-
ton of expenditures, the President
indicated that the national debt will
rise over the 36 billion dollar mark.
Though he made no specific rec
concentrations as to economy, the
President spoke sharply about "spe-
cial groups" who are exerting pres
sure to bring about increases in
government expenditures. 1t was
understood he referred especially to
the farm tenancy program, propos-
ing an annual expenditure of $780,
100000; the Wagner housing bill,
calling for an expenditure of $780,
100000 a year, and the Harrison
Black education bill, calling for al
locations among the states begin
ming at $1OO, 900, 900 for the first year
and reaching a maximum of $780,
100000 year.
Mr.. Roosevelt had rejected these
measures at a White House confer
ence and his attitude provoked va
rious prominent senators and rep
resentatives so much that they de-
clared they would favor cutting
down the relief appropriation he
asked to one billion dollars.
In the house the economy pro-
gram lost point when Representa-
tive Vinson of Kentucky succeeded
in getting through his S1,000,000
stream pollution bill.
Next the 1927 100000 Agriculture
department bill came up in the
house and was passed despite the
efforts of Republicans to have it
sent back to the committee with
instructions for a blanket cut of 10
per cent. 1t is reported that the
Democrats of both house and sem
ate plan to put through joint reso-
luton at the close of the session
reducing all departmental appropri-
ations by 10 per cent.

Goods as Debts Payment
Offered to United States

CEN.lTOR JAMES HAMILTON
- LEWIS of Illinois said that sew
eral nations had offered to ship
billion dollars worth of food sup
plies and manufactured products to
the United States in part payment
of their war debts, and that he ap-
proved their offer. The State de-
partment formally denied that such
an offer had been received, but
Mr.. Lewis said his information was
authoritative. He had conference
with the President before the lat
ter left on his fishing trip and urged
that the plan be given serious con-
sideration. He recommended that
the commodities be distributed for
use by states for relief purposes,
arguing that this might well facili-
tate the cutting down of the pro-
posed relief appropriation of a bill
lion and a half dollars.

Belgium Freed From It's
Locarno Obligations

y ELGIUM has attained the posi-
- tion sought in recent move to-
ward complete neutrality. Great
Britain and France have released
the little buffer state from its Lo-
carno treaty obligations, practical
ly abandoning that pact, and have
promised full protection of Bel
gium against aggressors. In return
Belgium promises to rearm and de-
fend its frontiers effectively, and to
observe its obligations as men,
ber of the League of Nations.
The agreement was signed in
Brussels by Paul Spaak, Belgian
foreign minister; Sir Robert Give,
British ambassador, and Jules La
roche, French ambassador.
England and France also were re-
ported as getting closer together in
a cooperative plan for a united
front against Mussolini's designs in
the Mediterranean and for the de-
velopment of an understanding with
Germany. It also may result in
the loosening of Frances friendship
with Soviet Russia, which has been
irksome to Britain.
Mussolini's conference with Chan
cellor Schuschnigg of Austria in
Venice was believed to have been
mainly about Austria's relations
with Germany and the Duce was re-
ported to have told Schuschnigg
that Nazi expansion toward the
south was inevitable, to which the
chancellor replied that Austria
would resist to the limit any at
tempt by Germany to annex Czech
oslovakia.

TweedS and PeatS

The famous Harris tweeds came
into being through an accident of
nature. The freezing winds which
swept across the barren islands of
the Outer Hebrides, off the coast of
Scotland, made it imperative that
the natives have warm wind-proof,
weather-proof garments. With no
where else to turn, the women of
the islands took advantage of the
unusually thick fleece which was
the winter coat of their sheep, and
from it they wove for their men
the first crude Harris tweeds. Be-
cause they had nothing but the
natural dyes made from lichens and
crottle, and nowhere to steep their
wool except over peat fires, Har-
ris tweed has always been charac-
terized by a peaty outdoor odor.
These tweeds had been worn in the
Outer Hebrides for many years be-
fore the fashion centers of the world
discovered them and elevated them
to the front rank of sports fashions.

being at least, a strike of $4,000
freight handlers on eight railroads
that threatened the food supply of
New York city. The President ap-
pointed an emergency board of
three members to attempt a settle

the dispute threatened Substantial
ly to interrupt interstate commerce
within the state of New York and
other states in the eastern part of
the country to degree such as to
deprive that section of the country
of essential transportation service" +"
A dispute between rival workers
unions baked efforts of the national
mediation board to effect a settle

serve side by side on a boat
shaped dish, or diced, in place of
celery and cheese. Or if preferred
