Ohio today for the first speech of his
cross-country tour. Senators Glass

that they will fight confirmation of q
Federal judgeship nomination for
their State which was made by Mr..
Roosevelt shortly before he left the
Capital.
The nomination Of Judge Floyd
Roberts Of Bristol, Va, described by
Senator Glass as Intentionally Of
fensive." was regarded as one Of three
last-minute moves by the President
to embarrass high-ranking members
Of the Democratic party who have
opposed some Of his policies.
The other presidential moves were
the nomination of William s. Boyle,
bitter enemy Of Senator McCarran, to
be United States attorney for Nevada,
and acceptance Of an invitation to
speak at Barnesville. Ga, where Mr..
Roosevelt presumably will strike a
blow in behalf Of Lawrence B. Camp,

On learning Of the nomination.
Senator Glass, who is in Lynchburg,
said:
1T is perfectly we'll known by the
two Senators from Virginia that the

FRIEDRICHSHAFEN, Germany,

craft. Hydrogen, originally used, Is
inflammable. ;,

NEW YORK. July Rehired
workers answering calls to return to
jobs in mill and factory crossed paths
today with vacation-b bound employees
along the Nations industrial highways

A Nationwide sampling of trade

scattered employment gains since busi-

market upset Wall Streets traditions
Of summer quiet.

in the financial district As heralding
possibly wider increases by autumn.

mills come out of early July shut

Government efforts to speed spend

shipbuilding were counted a front rank
factor in the employment outlook in
construction and allied industries.
Estimates of the National Indus

Raw Materials Bought.
Heavy forward buying in cotton
cloth and key raw material markets
the last two weeks were taken as fore
shadowing production gains. Tenn
porarily the buying served in part
merely to clear away unsold goods
rather than lift factory and mine
output. At some mills first effects
were noted in the stretching OF work
weeks.
New England felt especially re-

shoe factories in the Brockton, Mass,
area put about 5000 on a fun-time

1t was said to contain a compromise

counter proposal made by Paraguay.
Paraguay refused to discuss ceding
Puerto Caballo, on the upper Paraguay
River. to land-locked Bolivia, which
has demanded port. Whatever the
outcome Of the arbitration, it was
said, all Bolivian oil fields will remain
in Bolivia.
The strip Of territory possession OF

approaches the river, and is of little
value in. itself. The greatest distance
between the boundary line proposed
by the neutrals and the Paraguayan
line is SO miles and the average about
20 miles.
Neutral quarters said the main
stimulus toward settlement after the
deadlocks and threats of new hostilities
during the past two weeks came from
army commanders Of both countries.
Many of these men went through a
war over the Gran Chaco from 1882
to 1885 and do not want another.
