In coming to the rescue of the
penniless Capital, the board exceeded
the hopes of District officials who
had determined a need of $4,000
and only asked for 100000. How
ever, more than S35 900 of the s17O,-

the Social Security funds can not be
used.
Ordinarily the board makes alloca-

monthly checks issued by the Treas
ury, but in this instance, it was
stated. the entire amount will be ad-
vanced. OF the total sum S131 ,943.78

Retired Firemen Protest.
Members of the Retired Firemens
Association met last night in the
Typographical Temple and protested
the delay in issuing their checks.
They also thought the District should
have issued some explanation along
with the reduced pay checks for the
first half of June. explaining the
shortage that existed.
The Districts share of S189 900 for
food purchase for the school lunch
project is tied up in the bill and
the w. P. A. workers have been de-
livering leftover supplies from the
previous year since July l. Com
missioner Allen said he had taken
the responsibility for authorizing
purchase of milk for the children
who are served in 64 school build
ings, otherwise it was feared the
project would have had to have been
discontinued pending passage of the
bill
Asserting that much hardship and
hunger has been caused by the delay
in approving the bill, the Workers

throw picket line around the Pub

Copper Price Boosted
To 10Is-Cent Mark
By Big Producers
RevivuI of Domestic
Sales Follows Squirt
In Foreign Orders
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, July THE price
of copper for delivery in the United
States was boosted Is of a cent to
1ols cents pound today. Most of
the leading sellers were said to be
quoting the higher price.
The 10-cent price had been in
effect generally since May 8.
Some fabricators Immediately an
nounced a corresponding advance in
prices of fabricated products.
A revival in domestic buying of
the metal last week followed heavy
sales of export copper, partly attrib-
uted to armament needs in Europe
France was reported to have bought
2looO tons.
Export copper was quoted 1890
1885 cents a pound, compared with
1870 yesterday.
Trade circles reported Wednes-
days domestic sales OF more than
19,ouu tollS we're lIle largest since
last October.
A steady advance in the export
price over the last few weeks to
around 1890 cents was said to have
given domestic sellers a chance to
market abroad on more satisfactory
terms than at the 10-cent price at
home.
The price boost aroused interest
in business circles as it was recalled
that copper was a leader in the
commodity price rise just about a
year ago which signalized the last
half of 1888 industrial revival. The
quotation rose from GA cents in
June to lila in mid October. The
range SO far this year is 1850.

Figures
What They Mean
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, July If you are
looking for White-collar lob in a
manufacturing industry, here's a
line on what you may expect in the
way of salary:
In the relatively prosperous year
of 1887 salaried officers of manu-
featuring corporations received aver
age yearly compensation of s5,489,
supervisors earned about s3,Ol8
apiece, and the average clerk re-
ceived STATS, according to figures
recently released by the Bureau of
the Census.
In the same year about 10 out of
every 100 salaried employees were
officers, "a were supervisors and 66
were clerks, so you can figure your
chances of falling into each group
II the size of the pay check weighs
heavily in your choice of an industry.
make your selection carefully. be-
cause salaries vary widely between
different branches of manufacturing
Average clerical salaries ranged all
the way from a low of 81 100 a year
in leather and it's manufactures to
a top of $1,891 in products of
petroleum and coal. Rubber products
with typical clerical stipend of
$1.739, ranked second in this respect.
while iron and steel, machinery and
transportation equipment were all
well above average.
Printing, publishing and allied
lines paid the top salaries for
supervisors, averaging s3,67l a year.
Rubber products were very high in
clerical and officers salaries, but
below average when it came to
supervisors. Products of petroleum
and coal were attractive from the
point of view of clerks and SUPER
visors, but only average in officers
salaries.
Below average on the basis of the
bureaus figures were food and food
products, stone, clay and glass

House Seeks Speed
On Farm Tenancy
Expansion Program
Passage Of $3.50, ,0o0, 900
Bill to Be Pressed
By Chairman Jones
By the Associated Press.


Administration leaders In the
House sought today to duplicate
speedy Senate approval of a $780,
O00, 900 expansion of the Federal
farm tenancy program.
Chairman Jones of the House
Agriculture Committee said he would
press for enactment of the measure,
which the Senate passed yesterday
without record vote and with scant
debate
Senators Bankhead, Democrat, of
Alabama and Lee, Democrat, of
Oklahoma, sponsors of the bill, said
it merely applied the system of
Government insurance now operat-
ing for home mortgages to farm
purchases.
Senator Lee said it would use pri-
vate funds instead of Federal ap-
preparations to expand the vast
program of making farm owners out
of an estimated 2,865 900 tenants
in this country
Senator Taft. Republican, of Ohio
asked If the tenancy insurance was
part of the $500. 100000 lending
program recently advanced by Pres
ident Roosevelt.
Senator Lee and other Senators
said there was no connection, but
some congressional leaders said the
tenancy insurance would reduce the
amounts requested by the President.
Senator Lee and Bankhead said
the insurance provision would ex-
pand the present Tenancy Act, for
which Congress has voted $40 900 .O0O
Under it the Government lends
money to tenants to buy farms, al
lowing up to 40 years for repayment

Union Pacific Head
Finds Flaws in j, :,
Lending Program
Would Be More Helpful
If Money Went for New
Equipment, He Says
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
OMAHA, Nebr., July 7.-William
M. Jeffers, president of the Union
Pacific Railroad, in an interview to-
day suggested President Roosevelt's
new spending lending program would
be more helpful to railroads if altered
to provide that the Government lend
money to railroads for new equip
ment rather than build and lease
rolling stock.
The Government would retain title
to the rolling stock as collateral for
| the loans, he added.
Mr.. Jeffers bluntly commented
that the Union Pacific is mot inter-
ested" in the proposal as first out
lined by President Roosevelt. He
spoke then of difficulties that would
be encountered if a mass produc-
ton system were utilized to build
equipment.
Fundamentally, it is one thing to
talk about Government building and
another thing to do it.
For instance, there are no run of
the mine box cars, while there is
some standard building, the railroad
business is mainly specialized"
He explained that the Union Pa
clflc needs one type of car for lum-
ber shippers of the Northwest, an
other for the automobile manufac-
turer and other type cars for other
shippers. Yearly changes in auto
mobile designs mean changes in
box cars, Mr.. Jeffers said.
The same is true of locomotives
the railroad executive continued One
railroad needs one type, depending
on geographical location and other
factors. while another road needs
different type engines.
Mr.. Jeffers recalled the World War
period when the Government built
engines, distributing them among
the various railroads.
These engines" he commented.

Auto Firms Prepare
For Strong Demand
In New Season
Resumption Of Upward
Movement in Sales
Is Predicted
BY the Associated Press.

/ BY the Associated Press
DETROIT, July THE automo-
bile industry is near the end of its
1889 model season, as is indicated
by the tapering off of the output in
the various factories. but the manu-
facturers are preparing for a re-
sumption of an upward movement
in consumer demand that will come
with the introduction of the first
of the 1910 line
This would be safe statement
based on new model interest alone,
but in addition to that, say many
of the sales authorities, there are
many signs of continuance of the
retail demand that output and dis
tributlon of recent months fell far
from satisfying.
The earlier end of the 1899 sea-
son was foreseen by many pro-
ducers and distributors as far back
as last April, and the sale division
of the industry had pointed its pro-
gram accordingly. Thus there are
few, if any, stable retail agencies
whose stocks are not in what the
distributors consider ideal condition
for the swing over to new models.
Talk Less of Shutdowns.
At one point during the latter
part of the spring production sea-
son there was considerable talk of
a much longer shutdown period for
the annual inventory and switch
over to new model equipment. Less
is heard Of such program now,
and there are strong indications the
new types will be in production gen.
orally by mid-August.
Just what the industry will spend
on new equipment with the swing
over to the 1910 types is not being
generally disclosed Neither are
there any announcements of changes
contemplated in current models.
Even if the industry were planning
minor departures from this years
models, however, there must be an
expenditure of multiple millions in
the purchase of new tools and dies.
Furtherlng this assumption, too,
is the fact that the tool and die
shops have been busy for many
weeks on equipment for use in the
making of new models.
Dealers Stocks Low.
For the most part the assembly
plants at present are occupied fill
ing orders from dealers whose stocks
have been cleared out earlier than
had been expected.
Beyond this is the fact that few
Of the retailers have permitted their
stocks of used units to pile up. 1t
is this more or less general condi-
ton in the larger retailing sections
that encourages manufacturer and
distributor to expect a siZable de-
mand for new units to accumulate
during the period the factories are
closed to permit the installation of
new production equipment.
Automobile men, reluctant to ad-
vance any guess as to the produc-
ton requirements for the remainder
of the current year, still are conf
dent that the total for 1889 will
touch at least 3,500.000 and possibly
exceed 3,650,000 They admit, how
ever, the figures are based on hopes
of no major labor disturbances that
would interfere with production ac-
tivity.
