DEAR EDITOR:


At last, after two weeks DELHI
GRAFTON, we have q report on .
morals case involving q former
law-enforcing officer and boys
teacher, and . number Of young
sters entrusted In his care. I
would like to know where the
justice was in this case?
It seems . pity for parents 10
entrust their children's future
lives to teachers with the expec-
tations and hopes thek they viii
be taught the pitfalls o. life, and
then, when such . catastrophe
happens, be forced to accept such
. verdict. II probably took two
weeks to quiet their conscience.
/ would like to have our prose-
cutor or others connected with
the judging of this case, to cite
Just one other such morals case
in this town that was ever han
died In the same manner. I
wager it Is the only such case
in the history of Mount Glenn
ems law.
sincerely sympathize with
this mans family and realize Il
Is quite q sorrow to bear but, at
the same time. it should be re-
membered that the character Of
our future adult citizens depends
upon their youths teachings.
! think this particular case
decision has attracted more UNI
favorable comment and criticism
than any morals case In years.
And justly 30. I would like to be
able 70 follow the Life story Of
any one Of these boys concern
ed, and II, perchanc z, they
should commit the same crime
later In life, / wonder just how
much leniency they would BE-
given. Do you think they would
be committed to some institu-
ton, rs soon as possible for IN
indefinite length Of time? A my

Western Rail Leader
Scores Demand for
Pay Increase
Johnston Says Union
Move Is Not in Line
With Price Trends

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, June SC. E. john
ston, chairman OF the Western AS
sociation of Railway Executives,
contended last night that there was
mo economic justification" for the
pay increase sought by members of
the five railroad operating brother
hoods.
by announcing that they will
demand an advance in their present
wages of 80 per cent over and above
the rates established in 1887, and
which are, the highest ever paid,
the transportation employees of the
railways are seeking average hourly
wages 1914 per cent higher than
they received at the hight of this
country's prosperity In 1929" Mr..
Johnston set forth in a statement.
They give as one reason the in
creasing cost of living The cost
of living in April, 194l, as reported
by the Bureau of Statistics, United
States Department of Labor, must
increase IA per cent even to equal
that of April, 1929. Therefore. meas
ured by the cost Of living-the
purchasing power of their pay
these employees are asking wages
So per cent higher than they re-
ceived in 1929"
Mr.. Johnston maintained that the
wage demands cannot be granted
without the most adverse effect
upon the Western railways and the
farmers and other producers and
shippers that they serve"

Jobs Likely for All.

any able-bodied man. willing to
work, should have job opportunities
within the next couple months
Around 5o,150.o00 persons in the
Nation were gainfully employed in
April. the biggest number on record,
and it seems likely that during the

If it comes from normal savings
the taxes will be draining the COM
munity of funds normally added to
capital, which supports the produc-
ton Of the country and upon which
progress depends"
Rents: Real estate men hear State
and Federal officials hope the broad
new home construction under way
will create slight oversupply Of
housing by the tend of 1s4l, thus
obviating the necessity of greater
legislation to control rents. The
theory is that a slight surplus Of
suitable residential facilities would
tend to keep rents from rising.
Steel: Heavy demand for pipe is
forecast as the result of new pipe
lines being planned to siphon Oil
from the Gulf to Atlantic seaboard

Lumber Industry
Defended on Charqe
OF Profiteering
Wholesale Association
President Cites Heavy
Army Requirements

The lumber industry was defended
in an address by ]. A. Currey, presi-
dent OF the National American
Wholesale Lumber Association, at
the organizations 49th annual meet
ing at the Mayflower Hotel today
against the charge that it prof1teered
during the last year Oh the cor
struction of Army cantonments.
Large quantities of lumber were
needed in the summer and fall
months" he said, ito provide shelter
before the onset Of winter for hum
dreds of thousands of soldiers. Speed
was of Importance. Lumber produc-
ton cannot be quickly increased by
a wave of the hand. For weeks the
demand greatly exceeded the sup
ply. Heavy demands were made for
sizes and grades not normally pro-
duced in large quantities.
Prices rose to degree that
seemed unjustifiably great to some
observers. A charge of profiteering
was made against the industry,
which resulted in unfavorable pub
lcity. That publicity might not
have been so harmful if the public
knew more about our industry. It
is worth while to call attention to
the fact that last years price in
creases came at no faster rate nor
did they exceed in dollars the rise
that took place in 1887, when the
Federal Government was buying
very little lumber. 1t is time we
made an effort to acquaint the
public with the problems of one of
its largest industries. an industry,
incidentally. in which the Govern
ment itself has a great stake. For
the Government Is the largest Of all
timber owners"
Mr.. Currey also mentioned defense
housing as the source of tremen-
dous demand for lumber. adding:
I'VE should now be able to solve
the problems connected with the
construction of comfortable homes
for wage earners in the low
brackets"
E. r. Stettinius, jr., chairman of
the Priorities Board in the ONCE Of
Production Management. made an

with the A. F. of L. International
Brotherhood of Electrical Workers
on Oahu Island. The contract
provides for full arbitration of dis
putes on defense work and gives
journeymen electricians a 1911 cent
hourly wage increase to $1.371a.
San Francisco was harassed by
a second strike, yesterdays walk
out of 4,500 C. I. o. warehouse
workers. members of the Inter-
national Longshoremen and Ware
housemen's Union.
The warehousemen sought for
women workers a 10-cent increase
in the hourly wage of so to IS cents
paid by some 1870 affected firms.
Employers offered scent raise,
which was turned down.
The Pittsburgh strike, begun
Sunday, involved 1900 A. F. l..
tesmsters and helpers who de-
manded of 179 firms a 10-cent in
crease in their base wage of IS
cents an hour. They also asked
the 48-hour week and paid vaca-
tions.
In Chicago the Western Associa-
ton of Railway Executives argued
that the five railroad operating
brotherhoods, seeking a 80 per cent
wage increase, actually were asking
wages So per cent higher than they
received in 1929"
c. E. Johnston, association chair
man, said the figure was based on
cost of living levels.
Mr.. Johnston said that although
Western lines business was better
than last years, there is no eco
nomic justification whatever" for
the unions demands"

Department Stores
Reported Searching
For New Workers
Jobs Go to More Women,
Even Ministers Get
Port-Time Work
Hy the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, June 3.-Department
stores are hiring more women, high
school graduates, even young min
listers working part time, since the
draft left gaps in the regular per-
sonnel, an expert reported yesterday.
Miss Helena Fitzsimmons of Sears,
Roebuck & Co., Chicago. told the
National Retail Dry Goods Asso-
ciation's midyear convention that
surveys showed requirements were
needed In practically all depart
ment stores and the problem Of
training was acute"
Some stores are using women in
departments in which men only
had been employed previously. she
said, and high school boys and girls
are now being used for requirements,
If sufficiently mature.
Securing part-time workers is be-
coming increasingly difficult, she
said, but some stores are employing
married women, men employed in
other industries wishing to supple
ment their incomes, post office en-
ployes with afternoons and half
Saturdays free, teachers and young
ministers.
Jay Iglauer of Cleveland, Ohio,
chairman of the associat tion's Taxa
ton Committee, said in prepared
remarks that it had agreed that
"a much greater majority Of the
people will acquiesce and will CO.
operate" with Federal tax proposals
If the Government will undertake
to reduce non-defense expenditure"
by a substantial proportion Of the
total of such expenditures.
He said the committee recon-
mended 3 per cent general excise
tax on all commodities except foods
and medicines if further taxes on
consumer goods were deemed neces-
sary, a permanent congressional
committee TO reduce non-defense
expenditures, less severe surtax
rates, approval of increases in the
corporation tax. but strong obiec-
tlons' to lowering exemptions under
the excess profits tax.
The Dry Goods Association said a
survey showed prices of many store
supplies had advanced 25 to so per
cent since last October, against an
average increase of 10 per cent in
the year ended last September.
Bending board from which boxes
are made, cotton tWine and paper
of all types were among the items
commanding higher prices, the sur
vey showed.

pounds of cheese and 1000 tons of
flour. has docked at British port,
the first food ship to arrive in Brit
ain with food sent abroad under

British leaders say the island has
enough ESSENTIAL food to last about
a year.
Not realizing the Righteousness of
food here, some Englishmen have
been suggesting this country go
without cream one day a week so
that more powdered milk can be
sent abroad
The United States Government,
through its agencies, has been pur-
chasing food supplies for shipment

Tax Program Weighed

Taxes: Congress hasn't decided
yet on what additional income taxes
will be henceforth. Many things
have to be weighed. Says National
City Bank: The major question
to be considered about the tax pro-
gram Is whether the income which
is to be diverted into the Treasury
will come predominantly from funds
normally saved by taxpayers or
from their normal spending. If it
comes from normal spending the
taxes will be reducing the demand

Prices Above Year Ago.

Wholesale food prices now aver
age 80 to IS per cent above a year
ago.
Part of this bidding up has been
attributed to Government food pur-
chases and part to the higher parity
loan benefits in store on major
farm crops.
Wholesale food quotations are
near four-year high levels.
Current retail prices. however, are
held mot excessive" for the average
family pocketbook.
That is why the price admins
tration has put no ceilings on food
items, as it has on strategic in
dustrial raw materials going into
defense manufacture.
With national income Of
around $4,000, 900 900 expected this

The first shipments of one of the

in local history began trickling to
the market today at prices that av-
eraged around the So level.
Somerset County annually grows
more than 5000 acres Of early

Recent rains have greatly benefited
both beans and tomatoes, which
were beginning to suffer from an
