So. you eec, Increased prosperity
on the larm means Increased pros
perity generally.
THE much talked ot economic con
fnenco at London is getting
ready to break up.
European diplomat, discovering
with amazement that they can't take
the shirt of the Americans, as they
have always been in the habit of do
ing at world conferences, can think
of nothing better to do than pack
up ana go home.
Oood enough. That's the place
for them.
AS THE conference breaks up, mut
terlngs of world trade wars are
heard. Tariff barriera are to be rais
ed Secret concessions are to be
made. The whole bag of tricks Is to
be brought 6ut. .
It lsn t so stated publicly, but you
' may rest assured that the whole cam
paign 1 to be directed at the United
States, in the ploua ihope that the
trade of this country may be ser
iously injured.
Hampering the United States la
the riinclpal business of European
diplomacy these days.
WF.i.r., u we have to, we can retire
within our own borders and
build here, without the aid of Eur
ope, a prosperity that will be ade
quate. .
It rmght pay us to do It. Even In
It greatest years, our foreign trade
amounted to less than ten per cent
of our total commerce and after the
experience of the past three years we
can go back to 90 per cent of our
greatest trade activity and regard It
as something marvelous.
HERE Is something to think about:
I! we could make It possible
for all toe people here In this coun
try to earn enough to buy and pay
forthe thin?, they want, the home
market that would thus be created
would be so vest aa to bring on a
period f prosperity greater than any
thine we hare ever known before.
If we could do that, we wouldn t
need foreign trade.
ANOTHER thought:
Most of the wars that have
been fought since the world began
have been brou&'U about, In one
form oi another, by foreign trade.
If some nation could learn how to
create prosperity WITHIN ITSELF,
so that It would no longer need for
eign trade. It could look forward rea
sonably to freedom from war.

out at five o'clock. The Jury, whlcn
started It deliberation at shortly
after two o'clock Saturday afternoon,
was served sandwiches and coffee
at midnight.
Owing to the heat, the deliber
ations were carried on In the main
court room, behind locked doors,
with bailiffs on guard, instead of
tn the stuffy regular Jury room.
No Intimation came from the Jury,
as to how the voting stood. '
The Jury went to supper shortly
after six o'clock, and hurried back
to the court room.
The court was prepared to receive
the verdict at any hour it mtght
be returned.
Considerable interest was mani
fested in the outcome of the trial,
scorea of phone calls being received
by the Mall Tribune during the early
hours of the nlghfci
Outside guards kept crowds and
an to tats from gathering at the court
house.
The case was placed in the hands
of the Jury shortly after two o'clock

court, which required 35 minutes.
The closing arguments of Assistant
Attorney General Ralph E. Moody
were completed atT 12:15. By agree
ment each side was allowed two hours
for their presentations, and the court
held them to the time.
Attorney Frank JT. Newman made
the closing plea for the defense, and
a, one Juncture, was reminded by the
: court "to address your remarks to the
Jury not the opposing counsel."
Newman bitterly flayed the prosecu
tion and the state police.
Evidence peclnred Dirty"
We are not seeking sympathy, but
we do want Justice." Newman declar
ed early in his address, "and If Gor
don Schermerhorn can be convicted
upon such dirty flimsy evidence, the
liberty of every citizen is in Jeopardy."
"If I had an Imagination like
Moody, I would not waste my time
practising law I would be writing
thrillers for the movies," was another
observation of the defense chief.
"The damnable press of Jackson
county, has been firmly and determ
inedly prejudicing the minds of the
people, against the ballot-thefts, and
the defendant In that crime."
Attorney Newman also declared, "we
admit Mr. Schermerhorn waa unfor
tunate n some of his associations."
and said that Carl Y. Tengwald "owes
thl Jury an apology for his testimony
giving the Sextons a good character."
Lowd's Action Questioned
"We demand to know why Phil
Lowd. a deputy sheriff, did not report
the loaning of his auto to his chief.
Instead of making a statement in the
office of Porter J. Neff." waa another
statement of the defense counsel.
Attorney Newman stressed the
statement Introduced by the state
revealing a conversation between the
Sexton brothers and Schermerhorn in
the city Jail shortly after his arrest.
and declared It contained nothing
incriminating against Be her mer horn.
' who had kindly edvice for the boys."
The defense declared that the facts
of John Glenn were not binding upon
the defendant, and that the ballot
theft were "a dastardly crime, with
which this defendant had nothing to
do."

STEEL INDUSTRY

FOR PROSPERITY
Wage Raising, Work Spread
ing Agreement Reached
Government Continues
Effort Creating Buyers
By JAMES COPE
Associated Press Staff Writer
WASHINGTON. July 1 5. -() -Steel,
colossus of American Industry, today
gave a mighty forward shove to Presi
dent Roosevelt' campaign for nation
al recovery, submitting a wage-raising,
work -spread ing agreement and
simultaneously boosting the pay of
it worker.
With other Industrie assembling
with steel and coal in the work shar
ing, wage hoisting column, the gov
ernment continued Its efforts to bring
all business Into the united endeavor
to make the pocketbooka of workers
bulky enough to absorb the increas
ing output of factories.
Major Companies Sign
Robert P. Lamont. president of the
iron and steel Institute and one time
secretary or commerce, brought the
steel agreement to Hugh S. Johnson,
the industrial administrator. It was
signed, Lamont said, by "companies
representing-90 per cent of the coun
try' output.
In concert, from steel town after
steel town, flashed the word that
wage were raised 15 per cent imme
diately. Some other announced that
minimum level also would be at
tained beginning tomorrow. Thus, the
wage of the code were put into ei-
fect without awaiting the deliberate
prices of government consideration.
- Labor Head tnsaiiMien
The code, however, was quickly crit
icized by labor. William Green, presi
dent of the. American Federation of
Labor, said Ita wage levels were too
low, and the average of 40 working
hour a week was too high. Further
more, he said he would oppose a pro
vision by which the steel men pro
posed to have the organisation of
their employe limited to work coun
cillor company union.
