must be made up by imposing higher

allegedly was advertised as rs per-
'cent discount and as an extra trade
in allowance when in fact, rs per-
cent trade-in allowance for old tires
is always allowed and therefore does
not provide 25 percent discount or
extra trade-in allowance but repre-
sents only the regular selling price.
"Allstate" tires are alleged to have
been advertised at half-price when in
fact it was necessary for the pur-
chaser to buy one tire at the full
price in order to get one at half-price
and the advertised price, contrary to
the advertisement, represented no saw
ing to the purchaser since no allow
ance was made for old tires. Taking
the 600 16 tire as an example, the
complaint alleges that the advertised
sale price for two tires was S20.25;
that the regular list price for two
tires of this size as shown in the adj
vertisement was $27, and that, giving
effect to the customary old tire allow
ance of rs percent, the usual selling
price was $20.25 for two tires, or ex-
actly the advertised sale price for the
two tires.
Again, in advertising it's "Allstate
Standard Tires, the respondent COM
pany is alleged to have represented
that the list price designated in its
advertisement was the regular list
price and the lowest price of all time
for such tires; that by paying the
designated price, with old tire, the
purchaser was paying only 10 cents
for a tube However, the complaint
alleges that the designaed sales price
required the purchaser to pay prac-
tically the full price for the tube in
each instance, because the various
prices shown in the advertisement
were higher than the correct list price
in, effect at the time of the advertise
ment and because the purchaser re-
ceived no credit for his old tires, al
though he was required to turn them
in at the time of sale. The complaint
charges that the customer, instead of
paying 10 cents for a tube, would be
required to pay amounts ranging from
$1.10 to $1.31.
The respondent company, in adver-
Using its "Allstate Non-Skid" tire,
for example, is alleged to have repre-
scented the regular price of the 900 X
16 regular type as SLABS with old
tire or $17.35 for two tires at saving
OF $11.35, when in fact the regular
price of this size at the time of the
sale and in the locality where adver-
tised was 1857 with old tire. Based
upon such regular price, the complaint
alleges that two tires would cost
S1914 whereas the advertised sales
price of said two tires is $17.95, rep
resenting a saving of $1.79 instead of
the S11.35 as advertised.

SEATTLE. - (FP) - Pledging 1uii
sunnort for the efforts of an ADer-
deem committee to solve the murder
of Mrs. Laura Law, LOO delegates at
the seventh annual convention OF the
Washington Commonwealth Feoera-
tion voted unanimously to send three
man IN Washington to ask for federal
action.
The mission will comprise DICK
Law. executive board member OF the
init. Woodworkers (CIO) and husband
of the slain Finnish woman; Howard
G. Costigan, executive secretary OF the
federation; and Irwin Goodman, PORT
land attorney. They will ask Attor-
new General Robert Jackson to launch
a general investigation Of vigilante
activities in Aberdeen which culmlh-
ated in the murder of Mrs. Law.
Scores of resolutions were voted on
by the delegates, but the most drama
tic item on the convention agenda was
the Aberdeen case. Ted Dokter, IN
dian-blooded labor leader who is chair
man of the Grays Harbor civil rights
organized when Aberdeen authorities
took no real interest in finding the
persons who killed Mrs. Law In her
own home on the night of January D.
1--WE have affidavits from hun
dred people of the things that have
been done to beat down the labor
movement in Aberdeen" he said. And
we have scores of friends who are
willing to take the witness stand and
testify to these things-when and II
they are assured they will not meet
with the fate of our good sister Laura
Law"
Law and his gray-haired mother-in-
law, Mrs. Nestor Luoma, also spoke
1--WE want to see the person or per-
sons who killed Laura brought to JUS
tice," Mrs. Luoma said, speaking slow
ly and distinctly at doesn't seem to
us that the persons we have elected
and whose wages we are paying IN
taxes are doing that"
Law told the convention that the
murder was "only part OF reign
of terror That has been going ON for
two years. / think you all know that
the bombings, the beatings, the wreck
ing of the Finnish Workers Hall, the
threats and intimidations, and the
murder of my wife cannot be di-
vorced."
The convention took no action on
the question of third term for Pres
ident Roosevelt, but sharply criticized
the new deal foreign policy In res
olution saying it is 'evident that the
president and the congress of the U.
S. are increasingly depending upon the
war needs of other nations and upon
our own warlike preparations to pro-
vide a way out of unsolved domestic
problems"
Other resolutions called for amend
ment of the Wagner labor act to pro-
vide criminal penalties for violators.

During its investigation Of the NUM-
lions industry, the senate committee,
headed by Sen. Gerald X. Nye (R,
N. d., strongly criticized the expan-
sion of plant facilities in this country
prior to the United States entry into
the war.
The committee pointed out that with
British purchases exercising virtually
complete control over certain Ameri-
can industries there was too much OF
a link between the prosperity of those
American industries and the contin-
uation of the war.
Strong arguments in the hands OF
those who wanted the U. S. to inter-
vene in the last war, the senate COM
mittee pointed out, were the prospects
that American industry would suffer
a severe depression with the cessa-
ton of the war or withdrawal of Brit
ish war orders.

l2O Million in WPA
Wages Reaching
Business Monthly

WASHINGTON bus
mess is being benefited to the tune
of s12O,O00,O00 month from the
wages paid by the federal government
to WPA project workers, according to
an analysis made public here by F.
G. Harrington, commissioner of work
projects.
This amount represents the esti-
mated average monthly wages paid to
project workers by the federal govern
ment from January through March of
this year. Practically the entire
amount is spent with individuals and
concerns engaged in the production
and distribution of consumers goods
and in services.
The monthly wages, according to
the analysis, are being spent approx
mately as follows:
$5O,O0O,OOO, or 1870, for food.
s24,0O0,OOO, or 209s, for housing.
$12,000,000, or 1870 for household
expenditures such as heat, light, gas,
ice and supplies.
$11,000,000, or 9ee, for clothing.
s6,000,000, or so, for transportation.
$5,000,000 or 4@e, for medical care.
s12,000,000, or 1917, for other items
such as house furnishings, kitchen and
laundry equipment, personal care and
recreation.
while the bulk of these expendi-
lures is large, it should be remem-
bered that about 2,250,000 workers,
with their dependents, are living on
WPA wages" Harrington said. "They
must spend all they earn and would,
if deprived of those jobs, either stand
in line for a dole or turn for help
to others, too often in the lowest in
come brackets.
Practically all the money paid out
as wages goes promptly to neighbor-
hood merchants and other local busi-
nessmen, who pass 1t on in the course
of trade and thus increase orders to
distributors. This not only provides
| private employment in the immediate
community but also helps to create
jobs in the manufacturing producing
and transportation industries"
On the basis of the findings, the
average WPA worker would be ex
pected to spend $23 month on food
for himself and family. His monthly
rent bill would be Sill Each member
would have $14.50 a year for cloth
ing. For such items as heat, light
and household supplies the family
would spend about $3.50 a month.
Transportation costs would be $2.75,
medical care 1920 and other items
about $3.50.
Harrington pointed out that the
earnings and the expenditures of in
dividual WPA workers vary consider
ably from these averages in the Yari-
GUS communities and areas of the
country because of differences in
WPA wages.

interfering with his high school train
