Toledo Beouticions' Wages
To Be the Subject of Survey

Columbus, o. (OLNS).-A fact-fnd-
ing survey of wages paid to women
and minor beauty parlor employees in
the state, being conducted by the Ohio
Department of Industrial Relations,
will be resumed in Toledo probably on
Wednesday, November %.
The Toledo hearings will be held in
district Offices of the Department of
Industrial Relations in the Security
Bank Building Director George A.
Strain said in announcing the city in
which the preliminary survey will be
continued.
Hearings held in Cleveland last week
resulted in additional sentiment for
establishment of fair minimum wage
standard in the beauty parlor industry.
Wages Of So to So per week were re-
ported by employees who testified, and
shop owners again came forward to
advocate the application Of the Ohio
minimum wage law to the industry.
Previous hearings were held in Ak
ron, where Beauticians' Local Union
105-A initiated the request for the sur
vey, and Youngstown. The survey is
being conducted by Director Strain,
Assistant Director Nelson Hovey, and
Minimum Wage Superintendent James

Recruits Wanted For
Regular Army Service

Fort Hayes, Columbus, O.-The
War Department has just given Ma
jor General Daniel Van Voorhis, Com
manding General, 9Th Corps Area, in
Guiding Ohio, Kentucky, West Virginia
and Indiana, the task of recruiting
$50 men for the 9Th Regular Army Di-
vision, and 2 Coast Artillery Anti
craft Regiments, the 6lst and 62nd
Previous quotas given the 5th Corps
Area to bring the 5th Division up to

mediate enlistment of 400 doughboys
for service in the 1st and 10th Infantry
Regiments of the 9Th Division. These
units are now stationed at Fort
Francis +. Warren, Wyo., but are due
to entrain shortly for training this
winter at Camp Jackson, South Car
olina. The men from Ohio, Indiana,
Kentucky and West Virginia who en-
list will be sent almost Immediately to
Fort Mcpherson, Atlanta, Georgia, for
training while awaiting the arrival Of
their regiments and concentration Of
the Division. After a winter in the
South the Regiments probably will re-
turn to Wyoming thereby giving the
new soldiers considerable travel in the
first year Of their service.
The 1st Infantry is one of the old
est regiments in the Army with his
tory dating back to 1871. Innumeral
battle streamers futtering from the

mentioned include, Gettysburg, Chan
cellorsville, Antietam, Fredericksburg,

CHICAGO, May 24.-Hog prices
at Chicago markets have dropped to

The decline reflected the steady

Hogs topped at $685. yesterday,

December, 1884.
AT an average price of $6.52, hogs
yesterday were So below the average
price a year ago, $475 under that of
two years ago and nearly s6 under
the s12,47 average established in
August, 1887, when the post drought

Since that time prices have grad

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, May 24.--The de-
cline in agricultural income last
year severely reduced the margin
available to farmers for purchases
other than absolute necessities. ac-
cording to a survey by Dun & Brad
street, Inc:
Like automobiles, refrigerators
and similar durable goods, farm ma
chinery is one of the first to suffer
when budget economies must be
made. Consequently, the IL per cent
drop IN total cash farm income dur
ing 1888 showed up in a decrease of
approximately II per cent in retail
ers' sales of farm implements.
Along with the loss in volume in
1888, implement companies were
faced with an increase in unit costs
OF production and distribution. In
ventories accumulated during the
winter months in anticipation of
good spring business were source
of worry during a good part of the
year, although these we're in most
instances successfully liquidated by
the time year-end profit statements
were made up. For the full IL
months, average net income of lead
ing manufacturers showed a shrink
age of almost so per cent from the
1887 level. Earnings were substan-
tally lower than in 1895 also, but
otherwise above all intervening
years since 1880.
so far in 1889 profit margins of
most concerns have shown improve
ment, despite the price reductions
on the years models. Sales volume
averaged below year ago for the
first four months, but the gap has
been narrowed steadily and reports
for recent weeks indicate that in
the majority of regions volume is
now approXimating the 1888 level.
With farm prices still below last
year and somewhat smaller market
ings of important crops in prospect.
implement makers are not hazard
ing any estimates of sales trends for
the remainder of the year.
prospects of enlarged Govern
ment subsidies in the 1910 fiscal year
are regarded as an especially cheer

point out that their effect on cash
farm income will only begin to be
felt in October"

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, May 24.-Rayon Is
the only one of the four major tex
tile fibers which has bettered its
competitive position over the past
l3 years, according to a current
analysis by the Standard Sta
tistics Co.
During the period from 1926
through 1888 cotton consumption
fell off not only in pounds but also
in its share of total consumption,
which dropped from 873 per cent
to 814 per cent. In these same
years the use of wool decreased
from 9.3 per cent of the total to
79 per cent. Silk use over these
l3 years fell from 18 per cent of
total fiber consumption to is per
cent.
While these three fibers, cotton,
wool and silk, were suffering a de-
crease in public consumption rayon
use increased from 60,600 900 pounds
in 1925 to 327, 100000 pounds in
1888, and its share of the total mar
ket last year was 90 per cent against
only 16 per cent in 1926.
Silk Affected Most.
While widespread public accept
ance of rayon textiles has been at
the expense of cotton and wool to
some extent, silk has been seriously
affected by rayon competition. De-
mand for silk decreased from more
than 66,000,000 pounds in 1926 to
52000000 pounds in 1898, and re-
ductions in rayon prices forced silk
prices downwards 70 per cent in this
period.

sumption and prices of rayon and
silk from 1925 through 1888
