ay Figures
Show Increase
of Employment
Six of Thirteen Industrial Groups In
cluded ir. Laboi Bureau Sur
vey of Employment.
Washington Increased employ
ment during the month of May as
compared to April Is reported by
the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the
United States Department of Labor
in six of the 13 industrial groups
which are included in its customary
survey. Anthracite mining, quarry
ing, electric railroads, telephone and
telegraph, power-light-water plants,
and crude petroleum production all
showed increases.
The building trades, which are not
covered in the bureau's regular em
ployment figures, experienced a mark
ed "improvement in employment con
ditions, it was learned from other
sources.
Excluding the manufacturing
group, the 12 other groups show an
increase of 1-10 of 1 per cent in em
ployment and a gain of 1 per cent
in payroll totals, the report indi
cates. The seven groups reporting
decreased employment were, manu
facturing, bituminous coal mining,
metalliferous mining, wholesale and
retail trade, hotels and canning. The
bureau points out that a slight fall
ing off in these industries is the re
sult of the change from winter to
summer trade.
The percentage of changes in May
in employment and pay-roll totals in
manufacturing industries are based
upon returns made by 13.3S8 estab
lishments in 54 of the principal
manufacturing industries of the
United States. These establishments
in May, 1930, had 3,271.015 em
ployees whose combined earnings in
one week were $S7.477,094.
Fifteen of the 54 separate indus
tries had more employees in May
than in April, the greatest gains hav
ing been in the ice cream, woolen
goods, cement, brick, rubber tire, and
slaughtering industries. The auto
mobile industry reported an incerase
of 1.5 per cent in employment and a
gain of 0.S per cent in earnings. Each
of the 15 industries reporting in
creased employment, also increased
pay-roll totals with the exception of
newspaper printing, which coupled a
small gain in emloyment with a
slight decrease in earnings.
Four groups of industries food
tobacco, stone-clay-glass, and vehicles
showed employment gains, the food
and tobacco groups, also, reporting
increased earnings.
The outstanding decrease in em
ployment was a seasonal one of 41.7
per cent in fertilizers, marking the
close of the spring shipping season.
Nine of 10 of the industries of the
textile group had fewer employees in
May than in April and decreased em
ployment, also occurred in following
important manufacturing industries:
electrical machinery (3.S per cent),
steam car building and repairing (1.0
per cent', foundries (2.5 per cent),
and boots and shoes (3.9 per cent).
Employment in the iron and steel
industry remained practically un
changed, a decline of one-tenth of
one per cent in employment occur
ring between April and May.
Decreased employment and earn
ings were shown in each geographic
division in May, with the exception
o fthe Mountain district which show
ed a gain in both items. Per capita
earnings in manufacturing indus
tries were 0.9 per cent lower than
in April, 1930.
In May, 1930, 10,776 manufactur
ing establishments reported an aver
age of 85 per cent of a full normal
force of employees, who were work
ing an average of 94 per cent of full
time; the percentages reported show
ed a decrease of 2 per cent in aver
age normal force with no change in
average time operated.
E0MES HURLED IN INDIA
Bombay Bombs Thursday bcomc
the newest menace to the adminis
tration of British authority in India.
In Lahore, Amritsar, Lyallpur, Gu
jrnwala and Rawalpindi explosions
of deadly missies tossed into vacant
houses and elsewhere have caused
injuries to officers and been the
cause of disorders. The outrages
have taken an unusual form. In
each case a bomb has been exploded
in a house or inn, after the police
have gathered there for investiga
tion another bomb has gone off. At
Ajnritsar this device was defeated by
the police who heard the ticking of
the timing machine of the second in
fernal machine.
At Lyallpur an inspector was ser
iously wounded and at Cujrnwald a
constable was wounded and consid
erable property damage caused. A
subinspector, head constable and
constable received slight hurts. In
an cases me plot seems to have be
een
aimed directly at the police.
FLORIDA TOWN INUNDATED
Fort Myers, Fla Flood waters
from the swollen Caloosahatchee
river were rising at La Belle, Hendry
county seat, Thursday night. The
town already was inundated to a
depth of from two to four feet in
all the streets. Residents of the
town were virtually marooned and
boats were being used for transpor
tation into and about the town. Train
service has been disrupted for forty
eight hours, and mail was brought
by boat from Denaud, a nearby
town. Telephone messages from La
Belle late in the day said the flood
waters still were rising, 'seemingly
at a slower rate than Wednesday
and earlier Thursday, when the rise
was reported at one-half an inch an
hour.
MORE EVIDENCE REQUESTED
Muskogee, Okla. Phil K. Oldham,
assistant county attorney, Thursday
advised John L. Wike and Lawrence
Sturgess of Connecticut, to obtain
additional evidence before swearing
to a murder charge against R. L.
Benton in connection with the deaths
of George and David Smith, Connecti
cut capitalists, who were slain in
their hotel room here the night of
April 26.
Sheriff Hamilton said Wednesday
night charges would be lodged
against Benton Thursday, but be
cause he was unable to work on the
case, in efforts to obtain additional
evidence and because Oldham be
lieved they had insufficient evidence,
the action was delayed. Oldham
said in bis opinion Wike's identifica
tion of Benton as the slayer of the
brothers was not sufficient to war
rent the filing of charges.
Senate Confirms
Mac Nider After
Brookhart
hgiit
Senator Assails Fellow Iowan as
Leader cf "Drunken Revel",;"
Old Feud Is Aired.
Washington, June 20. Hanford
MaeNider, of Mason City, la., con
firmed by the senate today as min
ister to Canada after Senator Brook
hart (rep., Ia.) had described him
as the leader of "drunken revels" at
American Legion conventions and
Senator Steck (dem., Ia.) had quickly
denied the charge.
Senator Brookhart, in voicing his
personal objections to his Iowa re
publican' political foe startled the
senate with his picture of American
Legion conventions as "drunken rev
els." He added:
"I have seen Hanford MaeNider
leading these revels. I know he is!
to blame for that more than any man j
in the whole American Legion."
Jumping to hi3 feet. Senator Steck
replied that Brookhart "does not j
know what he is talking about." He j
said MaeNider has been a "teetotal- I
er ' since he entered public life as
an assistant secretary of war four j
years ago. He called upon the sen-1
ate to confirm him. !
Old Feud Is Aired.
The senate listened attentat ively
to the airing of the old feud between
Brookhart and MaeNider and when
Steck had concluded did not even
take a record vote. There were a
chorus of "ayes" and the Iowan was
confirmed.
Brookhart reviewed the history of
his feud with MaeNider at some
length before referring to his foe
the leader of "drunken revels"
at :
Legion conventions. He said their ;
differences became "acute" when the
latter acted as "chief lobbyist" j
against him in the Brookhart-Steck j
contest for the senate in 1924. The
senate voted that Sfeck had won the j
1924 election from Brookhart. Brook
hart ran again and was elected two
years later.
Calls Him "Unfit."
Brookhart then read the senate
several newspaper stories quoting
speeches made by MaeNider criticis
ing him. He said MaeNider was "un
fit for any public office."
"Here is another charge I want
to make against the fitness of this
man especially at this time," conclud
ed Brookhart. "Too many American
Legion conventions have just been
drunken revels. I have seen this man
Hanford MaeNider leading those rev
els. I know he is to blame for them
more than any man in the whole
American Legion. I am not in favor
of sending as a representative of the
American government anywhere a
man that leads that kind of a situ
ation."
Formerly Took a Drink.
In his reply Senator Steck said:
"When my colleague infers that
Hanford MaeNider is a drunkard or
anything of that sort I will say to
the senator that he does not know
what he is talking about. He is eith
er ill-advised or he has no knowledge
of the situation. I will admit very
frankly that up to a few years ago
Mr. MaeNider did take a drink occa
sionally and there is no question
about it as thousands and thousands
of other men both inside and out
side of the senate at American Legion
conventions and nearly all other con
ventions have done. When Mr. Mae
Nider came into public life he ceased
to drink and has been an absolute
teetotaler for the last four years. I
defy anyone to deny that statement.
"MaeNider is fit for the position
in spite of the statement of my col
league. He has been chosen by the
president. He did not want the posi
tion but he was chosen and finally
agreed to accept it. I know that his
nomination meets the enthusiastic
approval of practically the entire
press of Iowa and of nearly every
citizen in that state, as well as over
the entire country."

Crime Doesn't

Ex - Convict
Reformed. Ho Is Tellinpr the World
His Message in Lecture and
Film To Be at Ritz.
"Crime doesn't pay."
"Money that comes easy, poos
easy. Crooked money burns the lin
gers. Its possession so sears the soul
of its possessor that he deires to he
rid of it in the quickest manner pos
sible." "Crime doesn't pay but the crim
inal does, with his life, his liberty, or
in some other manner. But the one
who pays4 most for his life of crime
is his mother, if she's living. She
pays for his misdeeds with thousands
of heartaches."
These are a few of the observa
tions made by Frank (Monk) Truin
lnrr, of Omaha, who led a life of
crime for 17 years, during which time
he spent more than nine years in
the Nebraska penitentiary, and who,
having learned for himself the lesson
that crime never pays and having re
formed, is carrying that message to
the world through a moving picture
depicting many of the incidents of Lis
own criminal career and plcad'iig
with the youth of the land, in a talk
accompanying the picture, to "go
straight." Trunimer and his picture
4 The Crooked Path" will appear at
the Ritz theatre here Tuesday, Wed
nesday and Thursday.
"I suffered plenty in my years of
crime," Trunimer said to The Journal
while in the city making arrange-1
ments to show his picture at the local
theatre, "but my mother suffered
more. I know it now; I've learned
the lesson she tried so hard to tenth
me that crime doesn't pay and
now I'm trying to make up to her in
some small measure for the heart
aches I caused her in the years before
I resolved to go straight."
Trunimer is an implacable foe of
the severe third degree methods em
ployed by the police in many large
cities in their efforts to make sus
pects confess. He says they are often
brutal beyond measure; that in nnst
instances the punishment they inllict
iis far greater than the nature of the
j crime warrants; that officers should
i be smart enough to get confessions,
'if they can be obtained, by buinan
j itarian methods and shrewd detec
jtive work, and that the third degree
'methods only too frequently make
I cor. firmed criminals out of first of-
fenders who could be saved from a
life of crime by the right treatment.
' Trunimer c arries several scars about
asihis bead which he says were inflicted

ago wj1cn caught in a robbery, he

incident is re-enacted in his film, he
say
The film was made after his re
lease from the penitentiary five years
ago, since which time he has been
going straight, and the Omaha police
department, he says, co-operated with
him in making some parts of the
film showing burglaries being com
mitted and arrests '.being made. He
says every scene in the picture is a
true reproduction-of events that actu
ally happened. The film has been
shown seven times in theatres and
before clubs in Omaha, including the
chamber of commerce and Knights of
Columbus, ho says, and in 13 church
es. It's morn I?' driven home in a man
ner that children and older persons
are not likely to forget, he says, is
that crime never pays and that hap
piness is found only in "going
straight."
Trummer believes he has ample
reason to know whereof he speaks
when he says crime doesn't pay, for
he was arrested 71 times, convicted
three times and estimates he 'made'
nearly a quarter of a million dollars
in those years. "But its all gone," he
says, and now lie is going straight
and through his films and his lec
tures he is making an honest living,
supporting his aged mother, and
carrying his message to the world.
Picture of the court house riot at
Omaha in 1920 have also been added
to the reels of interesting films, show
ing the rioting scenes that culmin
ated in the hanging and burning of a
negro.
This attraction of Mr. Trummer
has been secured for the Ritz by Man
ager Griffin on the earnest request
of many of the patrons.
VIRGINIAN FIRM AGAINST DIALS
Washington, June 19- Kind
words were spoken for hte ostracized

day but Senator Class of Virginia,
whose resolution to take them from

had not changed his attitude.
"I am not going to bother
with those fool dials," the Vir
ginian said. "I had enough trou
ble with algebra when I was in
school.
Senator Tytlings of Maryland

The A Cappella Choir, which

began attracting more than local at

only choral medium that can rival
the great advances being made in
the instrumental field of public

Crop

Orchard Owner Blames Earn for Poor
Yield; Sees Bis Return in
1331, However. -
Falls City, June ID. A 25 to 30
per cent normal apple crop for Rich
ardson county Wednesday was pre
dicted by J. F. Schubert, prominent
Shubert banker and horticulturist,
after a survey of various orchards
in this region.
The yield will be approximately
5,000 bushels below the poor yield
of 25,000 bushels in 1929 of the
Shubert Brothers and the Loess Land
and Orchard Co., which are closely
associated.
"There is a wide divergence
of opinion on what caused the
small yields in 1929 and 1930,"
Shubert said, '.and perhaps no
one really knows what freak of
nature or climatic condition is
responsible for shortage.
Advances Theory.
"After checking up on many
theories and finding them er
roneous, I have reached the con
clusion that the excessive rain
fall in 192S and then again the
following spring was largely re
sponsible for the unusual amount
of wood growth which prevented
proper ripening of the fruit
spurs in both the falls of 192S
and 1929."
The yield of 20,000 bushels will be
exceptionally light in view of the
fact that the two companies have 700
acres in apples, more than half of
which are of bearing ace.
Sees Increase in 1931
''This spring so far has been
very favorable for the growth
and proper maturity of fruit
buds for the 1931 crop," bo con
tinued, "and if the present fav
orable weather continues, next
season should witness a yield of
4 00 cars, a crop similar to the
one harvested back in 1917.
"The outlook for a larger pro
duction is very promising as our
companies have set quite a few
trees and the young orchards are
practically all ready to bear
fruit.'
Shubert concluded by predicting in
the next few years southeastern Ne
braska would become an important
apple district.

eral Sorensen Thursday sent an an
swer to William F. Adams of I!a.-t-ings,
president of the Nebraska Tax
payers League, in the municipal

gaged them.
"As a citizen you have a pc
fect right, cf course, to work
with the power companies and to
help spread their propaganda,"
Sorensen wrote. "But why not
carry on the fight openly and
honestly instead of in the lively
of an alleged taxpayers associa
tion." Sorensen denied he has any con
nection with the Fairbanks More k
Co.; admitted advocating an amend
ment to the constitution for payment
or failed bank depositors, and ! ( it
erated that the state ought to set an
example by paying good wages to its
employes, excepting state officials.
Sorensen is president of an organ
ization which seeks to put a law m
the books broadening the rights of
municipal light companies.

Scnttsbluff, June IS. President
Hoover has been invited by the local
chamber of commerce to travel over
the Oregon Trail route this summer
when he makes his vacation trip
westward.
It is understood that he plans to
make part of his journey by motor,
and, since has endorsed and support
ed the Oregon Trail centennial ob
servances under way this year, it is
thought he might favor such a trip
over the route traveled by pioneers
100 years ago. He would be in the
valley probably sometime in July.
