The Real Difference

The South becomes nations No. l op-
portunity as plants spring up and en-
ployment gains. So read the headlines
of the daily papers following survey Of
the Southland in recent issue Of nat
ional financial magazine. Explanations
are given that the South ships away its
agricultural products and minerals to
buy them back at higher prices fol-
lowing manufacture.
The income of the South is given at
S240 per capita against $3.50 for the
rest of the country. Here the maga-
zines states: "In the process Of lifting
tho level Of the South a far greater in
crease in national income would cer-
tainly be guaranteed, for no increase
could take place in thet South without
a corresponding stimulus to Northern
industry. An opportunity as great as
this makes talk of saturation seem woe
fully misplaced"
Referring to the effects OF the Wage
and Hour Law as it affects the South,
Governor White points out the hitch in
the matter when he says: "The law
will have to apply defferential wage
scale for this section If it is to be
saved from ruination. With the freight
rates differential giving the North an
advantage over Southern shippers re-
moved, however. the Wage and Hour
Law will be alright and workable in the
South. Unless the decision is in favor
Of the South, then the differential wage
scale must be drafted for Southern la
Dor. If the freight rate is corrected,
and il should be- because il is unfair
to the South, it doesn't make any diff
ference about the wage scale differ

SUMMER
DAYS NEAR END

Hey, Washingtonians! Don't
place those fall suits and top coats
back in the moth balls, because
this spell of belated summer
weather is about to come to an
end very soon. Rain tonight and
early tomorrow with much cooler
weather, is the forecast.
After climbing to an all-time
high of IS degrees for october
18, yesterday, the thermometer
dropped to a low of only 81 last
night. However, the mercury be-
gan its struggle upward early to-
day and will probably reach "a be-
fore the sun sets this evening.
Meanwhile, the young cherry
trees around the Tidal Basin and
several species of flowers fooled
into the belief that summer has
really returned, continued to bios
som just like May.
A "stagnant condition" of high
pressure in this area has allowed
hot air from the South to drift in
bringing about this second sum-
mer" weather, officials say.

TROOPS SOUGHT.
AS STOCK YARDS
STRIKE OR 0 " S
More Plant Threats;
Swift Gates Stormed

SIOUX CITY, Iowa, Oct. 10
G.N.SO.-While authorities sought
National Guard aid to maintain
order in the strike-torn stockyards
district after a tear gas battle with
strikers last night, the C1O today
proclaimed a labor holiday to para
lyze further the important meat
packing industry here.
With the Swift and Company
plant, scene of last nights battle,
already closed, the CIO ordered
unionists in the Cudahy and Arm
our packing plants to quit work
for today.
ONLY A HOLIDAY
The holiday" is not a strike,
such as that which has kept the
Swift plant closed since September
20, but "just a day off to demon
strate union strength" C1O Of
ficials insisted.
Signs reading holiday" were
posted at the gates of the Cudahy
and Armour packing houses.
Meanwhile, hastily reinforced
police squads patrolled the stock
yards district where 1000 strikers
and their sympathizerS clashed
with sheriff deputies last night.
Two policemen were slightly hurt
in the fighting then.
The throng of union workers
rushed the main gate of the plant
in an avowed attempt to remove
so workmen escorted inside by
guards early yesterday.
Special deputies and police re-
pulsed the mob with ear gas shells
and clubs after scores of windows
in the building were broken and
several cars overturned.
POLICE CAR SMASHED
Police Capt. Leo j. Perleth was
cut on the head by a brick and
Patrolman Harry Gibbons slightly
injured when a squad car was
overturned in the melee.
Reserves were called as the
crowd gathered shortly after $3.50
%. m. and tried to storm the gates.
Failing to break through, they
hurled stones through the win
dowS.
Sharp fighting broke out as po-
lice reinforcement arrived and
tried to break up the milling hum
dreds. Tear gas shells fired by
officers inside the gates proved q
boomerang when the wind waited
the gas back into the plant.
TRUCE EXPIRES
The strike was called by the
CIO union in the plant Septen1-
ber / over a disagreement in pre-
Sentation of grievances. Nearly
300 workers staged a Sit-down un-
til a truce was adopted that the
plant would be closed.
It expired last Wednesday and
the force of 100 maintenance men
kept inside was augmented yes
terday by so more workers. An in
junction was issued late in Sep
tember against more than 10
pickets being on duty at one time,
but union officials held the COM
pany had violated the spirit OF
the agreement by importing addi-
tional workers.

The panda story was told by
Attorney w. w. Smith in his open
ing statement In defense of the
husband. Rudolph, who went on
trial before Judge James F. Fardy
on a charge OF numbering his rival,
Edward Solomon.
SLAYER UNMOVED
The 31-year-old Sikora sat un-
moved as the jury was told how
he had fired five bullets into Solo,
mon on the morning Of August %
as Solomon left a newsstand across
the street from his home. And
he stared moodily Al the floor as
his attorney told the story Of the
panda.
1t was a gift from Solomon to
Margaret, Smith Said-a bear-like
doll which she cuddled and kissed
In her husbands presence. When
her husband asked her why, Smith
told the jury, Margaret replied:
II; is a symbol Of Eddie Solo
mon. take him to bed with
me. When I kiss that panda
it is a salute to Eddie"
The husband sat stonily as
Smith told how Margaret broke
the news of the first time she
kissed Solomon. She and Solo
mon we're employed in the same
accounting office.
EMBRACED IN VAULT
eddie and I were alone in
the office" Smith said she told
her husband. HE called me
into the vault. AS soon as I got
in there he grabbed me and
kissed me until I knew I never
had been kissed before.
when we left we were both
emotionally exhausted"
The attorneys story was in sup
port Of his assertion that Solomon,
urbane, IS, and a university man,
possessed glamor that the hard
! working husband never had.
