IT'S HERE

Hayfever time is here again, bring
ing with it discomfort, if not acute suf-
fering, to thousands of Minnesotans.
Permanent relief may be expected
only with the first touch of frost Be-
cause of heavy spring and summer
rains, weeds are more luxuriant than
ever.
Like the common cold, hayfever has
until recently, been regarded by the
medical profession and the laiety alike
as one of life's minor ailments. There
has been a tendency on the part of
non-sufferers to treat the affliction
with levity. To its victims, however,
hay fever is no laughing matter. 1t
subjects them to untold discomfort,
and for days at time incapacitates
them for work. Those who can af-
ford it desert the city for the north
woods and the Canadian wilds. Hay
fever can and should be wiped out.
Its causes are we'll understood. They
lurk in no microscopic germ life, but
merely in pollen and dust Medical
science has eradicated far more seri-
Gus and elusive plaques. The job OF
rendering Minneapolis free from hay
fever should be a challenge to the
Board of Health. If successful, il
would pay cash dividends, not only in
preventing the annual exodus of suf'
ferers, but in bringing thousands oi
summer visitors to the city.
Whereas the medical profession ha:
not found an infallible preventative
the engineering profession has giver
us air conditioning, which gives re
lief while one is under its influence.
Now more than ever before it ap
pears that hay fever sufferers can re
gard the future with optimism. Wit
the medical world making strides to
ward finding a relief, the orneriest al
Fiction on the books surely is doome
to banishment.
P. S. Thanks to DR.. V. E. Berr
of the Catholic Research Dept, fo
his timely suggestions; and to hay fe
yer sufferers, try Sea Foma. Can b

Gloucester, Mass, July 22.-I expect
to see better business each month
from now until the New Year. A real
upturn is in the cards. But looking
further ahead, am not so optimistic.
Our unemployment problem is not
being solved. There is no hope of end
ing joblessness until labor and the
administration change their attitude.
Current union tactics are short-sight-
ed. Labor is slashing its own throat.
Employers, sick of fighting with un-
ions, are now bending their energies
to the development of labor saving
machinery.
I especially hope that the current
upswing in business will not give
radical labor leaders further encour-
agement. The Babsonchart for July

On Company

Washington, July 22.-(AP)-Philip
Murray, chairman of the Steel Work
ers Organizing Committee, charged
today that the Republic Steel Cor
poration is "the filthiest industrial
cesspool of labor relations in
America"
The gray, partly-bald steel union
leader made his carefully worded
charge in testimony before the Sen
ate Civil Liberties Committee inves-
tigating the "little steel" strike of
1887.
Murray charged that the Republic
firm, previously mentioned in testi-
mony as having aided in financing
the activities of citizens organizations
opposing CIO activities, dominated
groups fighting the SWOC.
"The Republic Steel Corporation"
Murray charged, created, maintained,
dominated and financed every known
kind of agency that could be created
to prevent the organization of steel
workers into unions. 1 know of no

Rotten Conditions Shown
In Swain County Voting

Swain was set in motion upon COM
plaint of DR.. r. M. Waldroup, who
was defeated as a candidate for the
House in the June primary. Before
the State board held it's session in
Swain, DR.. Waldroup died, and so
there is practically no chance that
any change in election results will
be made by the State board as the
result of the things it has uncovered.
Suggestions of evidence which
might be available were furnished
the State board by DR.. Waldroup be-
fore his death, but actual work of
digging up the witnesses and arrang-
ing for them to testify was done by
Raymond C. Maxwell, State board Sec
retary, who made a personal probe of
conditions in the county before the
board met in Swain.
Party Record Changed.
Mr.. Maxwell reported that examin-
alton of the registration books showed
that practically all voters are now
shown to be affiliated with the Dem
ocratic party, the "R" after hundreds
of names having been changed to
I'D" in the books. All witnesses before
the board agreed that practically no
effort was made on primary day to
check on any voters affiliation, the
ballots of both parties were laid out
on a table at the polls and each voter
picked up whichever he wanted to.
Most of them chose the Democratic
ballot as is shown by the fact that

Japan Will Not Force Issue
With Russia Over OCCUPATION
Soviet Heads
Call Bluff In
Tokyo Action

Tokyo, July 22.-(AP)-Statemen
of a Japanese official spokesman to-
night indicated Japan had no inten-
ton of forcing the issue with Soviet
Russia over Soviet troops occupation
of a disputed district near where the
borders of Soviet Siberia, Japanese
Korea and Manchoukuo come to-
gether.
Nevertheless, the Tokyo press con-
tinued to report concentration Of
Soviet military and naval forces near
the danger zone.
The foreign office spokesman de-
MED Japan had ever threatened to
use force to eject the Russian troops
from the Chang Kufeng district, oc
cupation of which July II provoked
the blustery crisis.
The spokesman asserted that the
Japanese ambassador at Moscow had
merely proposed to Foreign COmmis-
sar Litvinoff when they met We'd
nesday that the troops be withdrawn
as preliminary to "a general COM
promise" He denied that the Japan
ese ambassador had either said or
implied that force might be used.
Litvinoff rejected the Japanese pro-
pOsal the spokesman Said on the
ground that the territory in question
is indisputably Russian. Japan con-
tends it belongs to Manchoukuo, her
protectorate, and that the occupation
was an Invasion"

In speech dedicating a memorial
70 Australia's World War dead, the
concluding event of his four-day visit
of state to France, the king said:
The events we recall today have

Years can never weaken"

call a period in which our relations
were more intimate"

Utility
Accused Bv
A S s social t e d Gas
Charged by SEC With
Violation of Holding
Company Act

New York, July 22.-(AP)-The Sc
curities and Exchange Commission, ir
a bill of complaint filed in the Unit
ed States District Court here today
charged the Associated Gas & Elec-
trio System with violation of the
public utility holding company act OF
1885, and the securities acts of 1888
The SEC action arose as a result
of the systems efforts to extend the
Associated Gas & Electric Corpora
tons 1-2 percent convertible invest
ment certificates which mature No
vember Is. Attorneys for SEC sought
preliminary injunction against the
utility company.
This is the first action of it's kind
since the 1885 holding company legis-
lation was held constitutional by the
Supreme Court in the Electric Bond
& Share case.
The SEC complaint was divided in
to three parts:
1. 1t charged the utility system with
violation of the 1885 holding company
act, in that it did not ask the ap-
proval of the commission before it
sought extension of the investment
certificates. The company seeks to
extend the certificates from one to
five years.
2. The SEC further charged that
the plan for extension of the certi-
ficates is, in effect, plan for re-
organization, and must be filed with
and approved by the commission.
This, the complaint said, was not
done by the Associated Gas & Electric
Corporation.
3. The third section of the COM
plaint involves the securities act of
1888, charging the company with sell
ing securities without registering g
them with the commission, as requir-
ed by the act.
