Joe wrinkled his forehead. "Say,

prints. He had on gloves"
Nov amt that somethin'. What
color gloves, Joe?"
"Oh, kinda dirty brown, I be-
lieve."
"How heavy a man was he9"
Andy asked.
Joe considered a moment. "Oh,
ITO, 180 pounds maybe"
Andy shrugged. II wouldn't say
we got much to go on, would you,
boys?" he asked the other police
men.
It done told you everything, "
Joe muttered grumpily. What
more do you want to know
Andy?"
Something definite, joe" Andy
spread out a broad, shabby fin
gered hand. "You know, like a
mole on his chin, or a scar on his
cheek"
well, he didn't have none" "
said Joe, $50 that's that"
Over in the far corner Artie was
tearing leaflets out of the ledger.
"Whatchu doin', Artie?" snorted
Joe. "Tearin' up the ledger?"
Artie didn't answer, but gave
Mullen the page.

"Well, let's get goin'," said one
of the boys, his hand already on
the door.
Joe and Artie watched them go,
then Joe started putting the bot
ties away for the night. When he
finished he turned to his nephew.

Stock Averages
BY VICTOR EUBANK,
Associated Press Financial Writer.

NEW YORK, June 29.-Refreshed
by a two-day lull, the stock market
leaped forward today on resumption
of its sweeping June advance to the
highest levels Of the movement.
Trading hit the fastest pace since
the tail-end of the autumn decline last
October. Leading industrial shares
rose l to points or so and a few
scored wider gains. Building shares,
beneflting from indications Of broad
ening building revival, were outstand-
ing performers, most of them reaching
new highs for the year. U. S. Gypsum,
starring for the construction group,
scared more than 10 points, but yield
ed part of the gain.
The market started tamely, then
lurched ahead when it became appar-
ent there was no great urge to sell,
despite the wide gains piled on last
weeks record-breaking rise. In the
rush to get aboard stocks for another
push, the ticker at times fell behind
the market on the floor of the
exchange.
Transactions approximated 2,7oo 900
shares.
Rails, at more sedate pace than
steel, chemical motor, farm implement
and other industrials. joined the ad-
vance. aided by evidence CT gradual
expansion in traffic in preliminary
weekly loading figures of individual
roads. Utilities also participated for
the breadth of the buying euualed
anything Wall Street has seen in
months.
Brokers saw nothing outstanding
in the days news to account for the
renewal of the upswing, but recog-
nized the market, by its performance
lately. has been generating its own
steam and spreading hope for Wig
orous business recovery in the autumn
months when crops come to market
and Federal spending gets into full
stride.
Demand for building shares lifted
American Radiator, Johns Manville,
Crane. Otis Elevator, National Gyp-
sum and other issues l to more than
in the most urgent demand the
group had witnessed in a long time.
Observers made much of a recent
expansion in home construction,
although it was labeled partly q sea-
sonal trend.
Rubber. hides and other sensitive
raw materials responded to the action
of stocks. Bonds felt the same spur.
Wheat was unchanged to p cents a
bushel lower at Chicago, and corn un-
changed to as higher at the finish.
Cotton futures near the finish were 20
to Is cents bale higher.
Leading the rise were such shares as
Du Pont, Westinghouse, General Elec-
trio, U. s. Steel, Bethlehem, American
Can, American Telephone, Santa Fe,
New York Central, Chrysler, Sears
Roebuck, Montgomery Ward. Anacon-
da Copper, Kennecott, U. S. Rubber
and Union Carbide.
On the curb the advance echoed in
gains OF l to more than points in
aluminium of America, American
Cyanamid B, Gulf Oil, Jones & Laugh
lin Steel and Pittsburgh Plate Glass.
At midafternoon the British pound
was Is of a cent lower, at $495l2, and
the franc of .00ls of a cent, at 2.7eI,
cents.

D. c. BANKS AWAIT
USUAL JUNE CALL
Total Deposits Expected
to Be Below Figures
for March 7, 1893.
BY EDWARD C. STONE.

According to past precedent there
will be bank call issued by the con-
troller Of the currency asking for the
condition of all Washington banks and
all national banks in the United States
early in July, to be dated as of June 80
June 80 is the end of the Govern
ments fiscal year and the controllers
office is always desirous of having q
summary of the banking situation on
that date. For that reason bankers
are now expecting a call sometime
within the next two weeks.
Unoficially, Washington bankers
said today that they look for a drop
IN aggregate deposits in the banks
here, in comparison with total deposits
IN the District on March 7, 1898, the
date of the last call
Deposits in the % banks in the
Capital at that time amounted to
1885. .523,5s7.86. Until recently bank
deposits have been running along
.ather close to that figure. In the
past few days, good many bank de-
positors have been shifting their funds
into non-taxable securities because of
the Intangible tax.
For that and other reasons bank
deposits have come down quite a bit
curing the past two weeks, bankers
say. 1t is estimated that deposits may
run around Sl5,000,000 under the
March total
Should the decline, which is con-
sidered temporary, prove to be about
that sum, total deposits will still be
well ahead of the June 80 call a year
ago. Deposits at that time totaled
s3o8,805, ,8S107.
Total deposits in the % banks in
March, 1887, reached $34l.235. 5l3,26
which was surprising gain of sl28,-
33l, 1871 from the bottom of the de-
preston in 1888.
Six months ago. on December 81.
1887, deposits totaled $322,651 1854.
The June 80 figure will be awaited
with great interest. Even if consid-
ecably lower than March of this year,
is will still be a very satisfactory
amount.

Railway Clerks Protest
Railroads Proposal

Washington, d. C. (ILNS).-The
Brotherhood of Railway Clerks has.
protested to the Interstate Commerce
Commission against the proposal of
three eastern railroads to discontinue
free pickup and delivery service on
less than carload quantities of freight.
The action was proposed by the New
York Central, the Boston and Maine,
and the Delaware and Hudson sys-
TENS.
In telegram to Rep. James M.
Mead, forwarded to the commission,
the clerks said the proposed tariffs
on pickup and delivery service 'event-
ually will lead to numerous employees
losing their jobs, and will lead
to great loss Of revenue unless all
railroads are made to go on a parity
to the New York Central"
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1938-08-19

So that striking often meant simply,
Quitting the job
Which meant: losing the job
Until the Wagner Labor Act said
something different
To the effect that an employe is still
an employe
Even if he has quit working on ac-
count of labor dispute
Or on account of an unfair labor
practice Of the boss
Yes, indeed!
So much so, is he still an employe-
That if the boss refuses to take him
back to work
Uncle Sam steps in and says to
him
Don't keep this man off his job
"And pay him for all the time he
has LOST"
All Of which is producing some con-
fusion
Among old-fashioned legal minds
Accustomed to thinking in terms of
| Master and servant
Lacking practice in consideration of
modern
Industrial Relations"
| **
Property Rights"
Sure! The same court found prop
erty rights
| In the free choice of representatives
for collective bargaining
Eight years ago
/ Which should have shown the Lib
erty League the direction of progress.
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1938-08-19

But when national majorities call
for something
Legislatures and courts have way
of telling about it
Of course, the haze arises from the
reservoir of ancient rights
Which were at one time right ex-
elusive
Still, an all, there have been quail
fications--
F'rinstance, there was an ease
ment-
Just a right of way over another
mans land
1t being his land, all right, but
You had a right to use it, for
travel
Generally speaking
Bosses have thought they owned
the jobs
They "gave employment" to othe
folks
Folks who had no jobs Themselves
