country amt been scratched yet.
Trouble is out in thuh world lots of
feliers want to take it from thuh
other feller. They go soft. Don't
know how to do things fer them
selves. Try to take something that's
somebody elses. They don't like to
work fer themselves. They want
somethin' fer nothin'.
Awhile back some one said in 25
years thuh worlds greatest curiosi-
ties would be a steam locomotive, a
horse and Workingman. But if a
feller don't work, he don't get much,
except trouble. I remember when I
worked thousand days for a thou
sand dollars.
I'm my time I've seen plenty of
fellers make piles and plunge this
way and that way like balky mule
to do big things. I just stayed in
thuh rocks with my mules, and I
still got plenty. Those fellers died
broke, most of 'em.

They might begin to see things a

Useless Without Czech
Instructors, He Says

B, the Associated Press.
BALTIMORE, Dec. 30.-Jan Bata,
shoe manufacturer, said last night
he would stop building $4,000, 900
factory at Belcamp, Md, if immi-
grafton authorities held to their
ruling that 62 of his Czecho-Slo-
vakian skilled workers cannot re-
main in the country to train new
employees.
There is no use in putting up a
factory if we are not to be permitted
to teach people how to work in 1t"
he asserted.
James L. Houghteling, commits
sioner of immigration and naturali-
zation, announced Thursday that
only 10 of 72 skilled Czech workers
would be permitted to remain for
the balance of the year originally
allotted them.
Mr.. Bata said 600 Americans were
now employed at the Belcamp plant
and original plans called for ulti-
mate employment of 10000.
The authorities told us we could
bring in 100 CZechs for period OF
one year. We brought in II. . :
If any one had wished to stop us, for
any reason at all, the time to do
so was then. before we had started
building" Mr.. Bata said.
But with this permit Of the
American Government-we consid-
cred it pledge-we went ahead and
started to build. We have spent a
considerable amount of money here.
We do not want it wasted. = 3" We
hope the American Government
does not really intend to break faith
with U.S."
Earlier yesterday Robert l.. Arch
er, company attorney, said a modi-

Treasury Studies
allied Buying 10
Avoid Price Upsets
Roosevelt Confers
With AneIo-French
Purchasing OfficioIs
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Plans are under way by Treasury
officials to keep the prices this Gov
ernment pays for its supplies from
going skyward as a result of Anglo
French purchases of American
goods, it was made known last night.
officials of the Anglo-French pur-
chasing board, set up jointly by
France and Great Britain to make
war purchases in the United States,
conferred with President Roosevelt
yesterday Sitting in at the White
House meeting was Capt. Harry E.
Collins, chief of the Treasury's Pro-
curement Division.
A Treasury official explained that
the Procurement Division and the
Allied Board consult in order to
prevent the allies from bidding
against the Treasury in the purchase
of nom military supplies.
The purpose of such consultations.
for instance, was to prevent the
allies and the Treasury from trying
to buy wool blankets at the same
time, he explained. Coincidence
of large orders for the same material
might shoot prices up temporarily.
whereas if the orders were spaced
properly all purchasers could get
better prices without upsetting the
market.
The Treasury does not consult the
allies about war material purchases
because the Army and Navy have
permanent organization to handle
this type of supervision of foreign
purchasers.
Representing the Allied Board at
the White House meeting yesterday
were Arthur B. Purvis, president of
the agency, and Rene Pleven, an
official of the Franco-British Com
mittee of Coordination in London.
Secretary of the Treasury Morgen-
thau also attended.
Mr.. Purvis said that President
Roosevelt was told of the progress
of the boards acquisition of Amer
ican supplies.

Unemployment Cure
Sought in Farley on
Production Increase
A. F. Of l. Seeks Way
To Boost Level rs
Per Cent Over 1929
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
A conference of business, labor,
farm and consumer groups to CO.
operate in getting the unemployed
back to work was suggested by the
American Federation of Labor to-
day, in declaring unemployment the
No. economic problem facing the
Nation for the new year.
If industrial production could be
increased Is per cent above the 1929
level, the A. F. LIS monthly survey
Of business said, there would be jobs
for virtually all the 100000 unem-
ployed and higher general stand
ard of living for the entire popula-
ton.
"As we look forward to the task of
increasing production and putting
the unemployed to work one point
stands out clearly" the review add
ed. Private industry cannot plan
to increase production without some
assurance as to the future.
Urges Basis for Planning.
"In the present circumstances,
with war in Europe and a presiden-
tial election ahead, certainty as to
the future is, of course, not possible.
It is possible, however, for a confer
ence of responsible representatives
from business, labor. farmers and
consumers to lay the basis for CO.
operation to increase production
and thus to give more assurance as
to the future than could otherwise
be possible"
The review said it was not un-
reasonable to look for an increase
In production to a level Is per cent
above 1929 within "a short space OF
time" In the decade from 1919 to
1929, it said, industrial production
increased 43 per cent. For the full
year 1899. it added. production was
II per cent below 1929, although
1929 peaks were exceeded in the
last quarter OF this year.
Shortening of Hours Cited.
Along with increased production
there should be some gradual fur
ther shortening Of work hours, il
the unemployed are to be absorbed
1t said A drop in the average work
week from so hours in 1929 to 40
hours in 1899 was credited with pre-
venting chronological unemployment
for 100000 in the last decade.
AS to the outlook for 1910. the re-
view said business forecasters ex-
pected the year to average 5 per
cent above 1899, but that it would
probably start with some slackening
of from the level of this month.

Journalism's Offerings Few.
The fields of law, medicine, avia-

worthwhile opportunities for young
college graduates in the United
States. but journalism's offerings
are few. the fraternity men were
told last night by leaders in these
pursuits.
Although the large corporation

incomes for young lawyers in a rela-

titioner in the small city and town

Chicago Grain
By the Associated Press

CHICAGO, Dec. 30-Wheat prices
were fractionally higher today, but
the market was slow, with little
outside interest in evidence.
Most of the trading consisted of
year-end evening-up of accounts in
preparation for the double holiday
Quotations dipped as much as y
cent below previous closing levels
at one stage, but rallied and after
the firstshour were around u cent
net higher. with May close to $104
and July near $1.01.
Some purchasing came from
milling interests. The long-range
weather forecast for Kansas and
adjacent States in the Southwest
indicated very little precipitation
can be expected in the near future,
although low temperatures probably
will maintain the snow covering.
Some snow furries were predicted
for Nebraska.
Government suspension of the eX-
port subsidy program except on flour
shipments to the Philippines was re-
garded as bearish on prices here
inasmuch as this may mean a larger
carryover next July than had been
anticipated. Also the prospect that
competition of Pacific Coast grain
in markets east of the Rocky Noun
tains may increase attracted some
attention.
Export trade was quiet, due to the
approaching holidays.
Corn prices were about steady,
while oats were fractionally> higher.
Rye turned lower but soy beans ad-
vanced about a cent.
Lard was steady.
At II am. wheat was A-112 higher
compared with yesterdays finish,
May, 1885; July, 1.00A, and corn
was IN up, May, 58a4; July, 59A.
