CINCINNATI - One Of those
rarest Of baseball deals, an inter
circuit trade between the National
and American leagues. ushered IN
the annual winter major league
meetings today. The minor
leaguers headed for home after
holding the stage for three days.
"Rowdy Dick BarfeIl. Of
the Chicago Cubs who cost the
New York Giants 100000 .
few years ago, was shipped
90 the Detroit Tigers for Bill
Rogen. Both are veteran
shortstops who were "washed
up" with their respective clubs.
Waivers were obtained on
each before the inter-league
deal could be made.
Manager Del Baker of the Tigers
Is high on Bartell, basing part Of
his enthusiasm on information
obtained from Jimmy Dykes Of
the White Sox who credited
'Rowdy Dick" with being the life
of the Cubs In the city series.
FOR INSURANCE.
Manager Gabby Hartnett of the
Cubs said Rogell will be used as
"shortstop insurance" Rogell,
who is IS. was a regular with the
Tigers from 1891 until last season
when he played in only II games
and batted .225.
Bartell. who In 81, played
In 107 games last season and
batted .241. He first came up
with the Pirates In 1927 and
played with three other clubs,
the Phillies, Giants and Cubs,
before passing Into the junior
circuit.
Arrival here last night Of Com
missioner X. NJ. Lands caused new
rumors about what "the judge"
may be up to, but a visit to the
gray-thatched baseball car was
unproductive of any official news.
Clark Griffith, the "old Fox"
of Washington, has gained at least
one supporter for his proposal to
prohibit pennant winners from
acquiring a player in its own
league, except by waivers. as long
as it holds the title. Alva Bradley
of Cleveland said he would vote
for Griffiths' proposal.
WILL TAKE ZEKE BACK
With Bill Terry finding no
takers for zeke Bonura, Washing
ton is willing to take the Giants
first baseman back for the waiver
price of $500. II the Senators
don't get Bonura he is doomed to
60 to the Giants Jersey City farm
club.
With clubs almost tramping
on each other In an effort to
get Outfielder Max West, the
Bees have Just about decided
to keep him. Leo Durocher,
Dodger manager, cracked that
the Bees wanted more for
West than the Cards did for
Joe Medwick.
Ex-Dodger Manager Burleigh
Grimes, who piloted Montreal last
season, has been given his release
but will be paid his salary of
$4,000 under terms of a contract
which still has year to run unless
he gets another job. II he lands
a spot, he'll be paid the difference
between $4,000 and his salary.

Major Factor in Christmas Trade Here
Sharp Rise Indicates

Nearly $50, 100000
Nv DONALD b. HADLEY.

Probably the leading reason why
Washington Christmas trade is ex-
pected to reach new all-time highs
this season, was revealed last night
by estimates showing that private
and Government payrolls here have
been running more than $4,000, 900
a month ahead of last year with
around 20.60O more persons at work.
Latest estimates of private pay
rolls, covering the month Of Septem-
ber, showed 1853, ,024 persons employed
with a payroll of $l8, ,766, ,269 for the
month. A revised estimate for Gov
ernment establishments gave ISL
1888 employees for the month with q
payroll of $26233,86
Both private and Government en-
ployment for September totaled
3l9,762 persons with a pay roll of
$45 5,000,133. These compared with
299, ,124 persons and Sal ,906, 1925 esti-
mated for September last year, an
increase OF 20,638 persons and $3,-
O93, ,808.
Nears S5O,000,000.
Allowing for the usual seasonal
increases between September and
December, private and Government
employment should provide for
around 100000 persons with a pay
roll close to $50,000,000 here in the
present month.

ment employment and pay rolls by

the years low Of 82h cents last
April.
The announcement in trade circles
said the British authorities had
made tentative plans for immediate
release of 10000 900 pounds. Aus
tralia and New Zealand are major
producers. Normally the United
States imports about one-third of
its wool requirements. Consumption
lately has been heavy.

The estimates indicate that prl-
vate employment and payrolls are
showing a wider margin above
year ago than Government totals.
The private estimates for Septem-
ber were 12,166 persons and $1,776,-
912 above the same 1898 month
while the Government estimates
were 8,472 and $1,316,896 ahead Of
the 1888 month.
Totals More Complete.
The private estimates are based
on reports frem the District Unem-
ployment Compensation Board
Monthly totals given below, fail to
include some delinquencies, but
down through July are the more
complete figures reported to the
Social Security Board.
The August and September esti-
mates are compiled by using the
current" Unemployment Compen-
sation Board totals for those
months plus an allowance for de-
linquencieS. The District Board re-
ports starting with July reflected
the shifting of railroad employees

Secretary Hopkins reported today
that business activity was higher
in November than in October, but
that production was maintained to
"some extent at the expense of un-
filled orders"
Hopkins added, however, that the
current backlog of orders appeared
SUFFICIENT to continue the November
production rate to the end of the
year, although there had been some
decline In new business.
The Commerce chief said that In
some lines orders had dropped to
the pre-September volume or below,
indicating that "the brief period Of
anticipatory buying based upon ex-
pectations of war stimulation had
run its course for the present at
least"

The secretary noted that prices OF
some raw materials, such as hides,
steel scrap and wool, had declined
slightly and that new price increases
in finished goods were less in evi-
dence.
Factory employment was said to
have increased slightly in November,

The Unemployment Compensation
Boards current" report on Septem-
ber private employment and pay
rolls, shows gains over a year ago in
all major divisions except for a mod
crate decline in services.
What appears to be decline in the
transportation division is due to the
recent transfer of railroad employees
to the Railroad Retirement Board
About 5000 employees and a pay roll
of around 100000 month were in
volved in the shift. Allowing for
this, the division is ahead of year
ago.
The compensation boards "cur-
rent" figures do not include delin-
quencies that will be added in time
for the more complete monthly re-
port, made later to the Social Sc
curity Board. However, the current"
report breaks the total into its vari-
GUS divisions and subdivisions and,
when matched with the comparable
data for the same 1898 month, shows
trends with a fair degree of &C
curacy. The current" totals should
not be confused with estimates
above, to which railroad employees
and an allowance for delinquent
cies have been added.
Divisions Compared.
The following current" figures
compare September pay rolls and
employment with September, 1888,
in the main divisions of private

ton, manufacturing, transportation,

cation covers wide range, such as
