Hooper Replies
to Criticism
of Labor Hoard
Chairman Reassert. Recent
Decisions on Wages for
Best Interests of Roth
Workers ami Public.
Chicago, Nov. 1. Replying to pub
lished criticisms of the United States
Railroad Labor board's recent deci
sion In tho maintenance of way case,
Den W. Hooper, chairman of the
hoard, tonight Issued a statement re
asserting that the hoard bus served
the best Interests of both labor and
the public.
The decision in the maintenance
of way case was Issued late Satur
day. Jt raised the minimum rates nf
pay from 23 to 35 cents to 2a to 37
ctuts an hour. Kmployes sought a
4S cent on hour minimum. After as
serting that lie spoke only as an In
dividual. Mr. Hooper's statement said
In part:
"A wage board which would crush
the railroiiils would ruin their em
ployes. ". w.-igo board which would cre
ate an enormous deficit in every rail
way treasury, would necessitate the
Imposition of higher freight rates on
the farmers, producers mid shippers
of this country
Would .Mean liig Deficit.
"The 'living wage' idea presented
j to tho labor board, called for a "i to
I 7h cents per hour minimum or com-
! inon labor all over the I'nljed States,
i and the maintenance of proper differ-
! enl lals for skilled labor. On the basis
o! the railway income for P2I. this
j would have rented a railway deficit
, of S2.24l,3:t,;,i.
' " 'A living wag
is not the thing
for wbi. h the theorists contend. They
want the 'Using wage," which, aeioid
li.g to their dogmatic loiiiiula, tneans,
at their lowest estimate, about ll.i'.'iO

Radicalism in Italy
Given Hard Blow
Rome, Nov. 1. (Ry A. I'.) Italy
will be on the road back to normalcy
loday, after a most, exliilerating week
that saw the younger generation rise
to power and in a great triumph over
throw the older politicians.
For the moment at least, com
munism has' no part In tho life of
Italy. The onslaught of the fascist!
has rendered all radicalism a paralyz
ing blow. Politically, tho chief topic
in Italy today is wtiat the fortune of
1 he new cabinet will be when Dr.
Uenito Mussolini goes before the
chamber of deputies. One thing is
certain, if Mussolini's government
does not receive a majority in the
chamber, he will have parlunuent dis
solved anil then the. fascisti will take
their cause to the country. Mus
solini made this char host Monday
when he built a new cabinet at tho
request of the king.
Minister of Industry Rossi In agree
ment with the minister of the treas
ury, has taken steps for the Im
mediate reopening of the lkmrse, it
was semi -olllcially announced today.

ft mil "0 to 33 1-3 per cent for the first
10 nionlhs of this year. C. I'., Corey,
director of the oinaha Manufacturers'
association, And manager of the Roma

the eighth floor of the Hrandeis store,
summarized the miiuufact urlng sit na
tion Tuesday afternoon as follows;

In canvassing Ihe different manu
facturer I found in a inajurity of
cases 20 to 33 13 per cent, more busl-
ties for the first 10, months of thin
year compared with the corresponding
perind of last year. Tliero may be,
some lines In which the Increase haa
not been as much. In my own busi
ness, wdiich Is advertising matter for
manufacturer, tho increase this year
will be tthout 18 r cent, notwith
standing that price ot paper wer
lower during the first month of thla
year, although within the last 30 day
paper went back to last year's level.
There I no question but that the
manufacturing business thla year will
show a larger tonnage. The payroll
of Omaha manufacturer this year will
be $35,000,000 and the buslncsa will
run more than $300,000,000."
