German Conquests
Return Markets
lou. ). Lines
Boost in Tariffs Aids
American Manufacturers
Almost Overnight
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, March 3l.-Germany's
recent bloodless conquests are prov
ing financial windfall for certain
United States manufacturers, a sur
vey of wholesale lines housed in the
Merchandise Mart indicated today.
The imposition of higher tariff
rates to newly acquired German ter
ritory is resulting In cancellations
Of many imports and recapture of
some domestic markets by American
manufacturers.
Percy Wilson, general manager of
the Mart, said cancellation of out
standing orders on word of Qccupa-
ton Of Czecho-Slovakia-which au-
tomatically hiked tariff levies SO per
cent-was followed by efforts OF dis
tributors to procure substitutes from
American manufacturers.
Adding to the confusion among
importers, who suffered drastic
losses on products from affected
areas, are day-to-day changes in
duty rates and regulations govern
ing imports.
Effects of the upheaval, Mr.. Will
son said, were felt most keenly In
the gift and glassware fields. Whole
salers and distributors of imported
goods in these lines reported can
cellations of Czech orders on an esti-
mated $4,000 dozen items valued In
excess of $l,0O0,00O.
Domestic lines, Mr.. Wilson said,
were found to be as jubilant as i'm
porters were disturbed. American
glassware manufacturers, who for
merly could find no market for fancy
ware against foreign competition,
virtually overnight brought out lines
of perfume bottles and decorative
ware from molds long in disuse.
Already domestic manufacturers
have prepared to take over the mar
kets for such items as stuffed toys,
cameras, costume jewelry from
Germany and synthetic and natural
textiles used for upholstery, draperies

Wage Increase Proposal
Would Affect $4,000

BY the Associated Press.
A committee appointed by Wage
Hour Administrator Elmer .F.
Andrews to recommend minimum
wages for the hosiery industry has
proposed 40 cents per hour for full
fashioned hosiery and 321a cents for
seamless hosiery.
Mr.. Andrews Office said that If
these standards were approved by
the administrator, about $4,000 of
an estimated 100000 workers in the
industry would receive wage in
creases. Mr.. Andrews can accept or
reject the recommendations, but
may not change them.
The Hosiery Committee was the
third to report under the provisions
of the Fair Labor Standards Act for
industry committees to recommend
wage standards higher than the
general 25-cents-an-hour level.

West Virginia Expects
Aid to Glass Factories

CHARLESTON, w: Va. March
81 @.-Germany's absorption of
Czecho-Slovakia apparently will
bring more business to West Vir-
ginias glass factories, but the up
turn will not be felt until autumn,
a survey of manufacturers disclosed
today.
The manufacturers said the West
Virginia industry has not yet felt
the expected increase in orders, but
that thes extra duties effective at
United States ports April % would
mean bigger orders once the pres
ent stock Of Czech ware Is ex-
hausted.

KATE'S ADVICE

1t seems as though everybody Is
marrying, but the question is: Are
early marriages advisable? What
puzzling question, especially for
one who has never been married.
1t seems true that most boys and
girls between the ages of Is and
1S get wild ideas, so to speak, a.
bout life. Some boys and girls
just can't get along in the home
with their parents. They figure
that the only way in which such a
problem can be solved is to do
some drastic thing to displease
the parents. That drastic some
thing is usually marriage! Young
infatuated lovers marry and soon
become dissatisfied and finally are
divorced. So goes some of the ear
ly marriages. However, it is not
wise that we should stop at this
point. All young teen-age boys
and girls are not tickle and non
sensical. Some have extraordin-
airy mental capacity. In other
words, they are definitely advanc-
ed for their age. Such few young
people may have happy homes af-
ter early marriages. 1t would not
be thoughtful of parents to aug
ment their powers over children
and influence them.-so that such
happy marriages may be prevent
ed. 1t is difficult problem faced
by a parent when he does not
know his child. Although it sounds
queer, such is the case in many
homes. The parent does not trust
his child. He does not realize that
all youngsters are not the same
mentally or physically. If parents
would try to understand and know
their children, many drastic at
tempts of early marriages could
be prevented, and many young
couples could be made happy. The
success of early marriage depends
mostly upon the young couples
themselves, their previous environ
ments, and causes for their mar
riages. All sums up to the point
that all marriages are not futile.
If you have a problem in mind
that you face and would like to
have a young girl explain psyche
logically, write: Kathryn Turner,
319 N. e. Tillamook st.

CabeH Comments

We have from the very begin
ming of PWA and the WPA criti-
cized the manner by which these
two organizations functioned rela-
tive to the actual benefitting of
the underprivileged classes of
which the President has SO often
spoken. After many years of
Congressional investigation, SUBJ
committee of the House has ap-
proved of submitting to the full
Appropriations Committee legisla-
ton calling for sweeping changes
in these two set-ups. Our criti-
cism has been that too few men
are hired on PWA and the con-
tractors reap a harvest from this
set-up. Men and women with de-
pendent children or other relatives
are paid the same wage scale as
those of single person on WPA.
Favor Different Wage Scale
The new recommendations as
proposed by this committee calls
for the establishment on WPA of
a differential in wages, favoring
relief clients with dependents over
those without. Another calls for
the ear marking of One Hundred
Twenty-Five Million Dollars of re-
lief funds for a public works pro-
gram. President Roosevelt is not
in favor of relief money being ear
marked for PWA, adding that this
would take care of fewer persons
on the relief rolls. This has been
his contention from the beginning
of his efforts to stabilize the under
privileged. Our people belong to
that class. Last but not least,
practically all PWA jobs are under
union domination and it Is almost
impossible for members of our
group to affiliate.
