WASHINGTON, D. 0., May 28.
The current warm-weather business
recession la slightly more than sea
tonal. The May decline will be abou!
one or two points
beyond the nor
mal decline from
Aprlla to Mays
back in 1923 to
1925.
That la more
than had bee.i
expected, but not
enough to worry
about.
It la caused by
several things.
One Is overstock
ing. For Instance,
textile production
IICHUCU
Paul Mallon
has been producing so much that the
silk mills shut down by agreement
for a whole week In May.
Another reason la sales resistance
to some price Increases. That factor Is
particularly noticeable In automobiles
and building. After the automobile
price Increase, production was cur
tailed, and so was the market. The
sharp advance In building prices hod
a similar effect.
Also' the tobacco manufacturers
have been making more cigarettes
than people were smoking, and have
been stopping a few machines.
None of these factors Is particular
ly dangerous. They are all obviously
temporary and self-adjusting.
Jn automobiles, manufacturers al
ready are putting out modela with
fewer gadgets on them. These call
for about the same as the low-priced
models before the price Increase. Such
shrewd tactics are bringing oacx c
automobile market, when the small
overstocking of silks and cigarettes
Is absorbed, production will again have
to be measured to demand la those
lines.
1 There Is one other factor, which
mv not mre itself. That Is the an
parently dissatisfied mental attitude
of a number of business men who
are talking behind their hands. They
nrobably are encouragea rowaiu
doubts by the trend In the stock mar
The adjournment of congress will
make them feel a lot neicer.
The condition of affaire can be an
alyzed from the monthly chart. It la
seasonally adjusted on the basis of
1934 to 1925 averages, each figure
representing the percentage of normal
at the time stated. (There Is one ex
ception. The basis of the wholesale
price Index Is 1B26.
One reason the employment and
wages figures show so well Is that
Miss Perkins has worked out a nev
basis for her figures.
The effect has been to Increase
them about 6 per cent beyond those
vtvit1tt oarrlMl In thft chart.
Impartial economists concede that
the employment and payroll figures
of the last two or three months may
be more accurate scientifically, but
tney orrerea a poor comparison .m
previous months, which were figured
on a different basis.
Whatever was done, it does not
alter the fact that there are about
9.000,000 persons out of work today
and about 4.000,000 have been re
stored to work in the past year.
These are the best possible lmpar.
tlal estimates.
The ficures on factory employment
in the chart this month ts a trust
worthy private estimate. The govern'
ment has not officially computed
seasonally adjusted figure on employ
ment, for the first time since it start
ed such computations many years ago.
The reason Is not evident. Investiga
tion discloses that some of the econ
omists are dissatisfied with seasonal
adjustments, because their accuracy
Is vaguely Imperfect. They are Chang,
lng the official government table ac
cordingly. The only really disappointing fac
tor in the business situation Is build
ing. This industry was showing some
!gns of life until the price increases
under the code came along and xept
it from getting the Improvement it
deserved.
Construction contracts awarded in
April amounted to 1131.000.000, of
which M.OOO,000 was public-works
construction. May will be about the
same. March was much larger, with a
total of 17B.0O0,0O0, Of which 72.
000,000 was public works.
The public works figures do not
Include publicly financed projects,
but only direct public building.
Certain government economists te'.l
this story on themselves. They say
one of their group was riding across
Montana on a train recently, when he
got into conversation with a sheep
rancher.
The economist started estimating
the number of sheep in herds thty
passed. The rancher was astounded
at the accuracy of the estimates.
When they pawed a. herd owned by
the rancher, the exact number was
rattled off by the economist. The
rancher demanded to know how the
economist did it.
"It's simple." said the economist.
"X count their legs and divide by
four."

Oregon Losses Mount As

Paralysis Dynamite
Cache On Docks Increase
Tenseness.
PORTLAND, Ore., May 26. (AP)
As Oregon's Tosses from the long
shoremen's strike were estimated In
millions of dollars today the Port
land chamber of commerce demanded
that the port of Portland be opened
"within 24 hours."
Mayor Joseph Carson, to whom the
demand was directed, replied, "Of
course, every facility of the city la
at the disposal of law and order."
Concurrent with the chamber's de
mand, It was announced that a sur
vey revealed lose to business and
payrolls affected by the strike
amounted to more than $7,500,000.
Lawsuits and bankruptcies were
threatened by-products. It was de
clared. Much loss was entailed by
perishable products rotting on the
docks. Paper mills soon will shut
down because of lack of sulphur. Idle
sawmills and logging camps have
rendered 6,060 men Jobless and rail
road cars are tied up with cargo for
oceanic shipment, the survey stated.
Many small businesses also were
said to be affected in the general
paralysis.
The board of directors of the cham
ber, of commerce demanded of the
mayor that "such steps be taken as
may be necessary in order to estab
lish law and order on the waterfront'
so that "regular business of the port
may be resumed."
Meanwhile police continued their
questioning into the dynamite laden
car found near the waterfront last
night.
The suggestion that possibly ene
mies of the International Longshore
men's assocatlon were responsible for
the dynamite plot was made by C. G.
Peabody, secretary of the longshore
men's local.
"This plant of dynamite may have
been the work of someone seeking to
discredit the longshoremen," Pea
body's statement said. "Such occur
rences have been frequent in indus
trial controversies In many places.
We do not charge that the plant was
made by enemies, but we want to
suggest that possibility. We choose
to think, and we hope, that It had
nothing to do with the strike situa
tion. Or If It was placed In prox
imity to the waterfront as a means
of casting suspicions upon us, we
hope that the person who is guilty
acted without the connivance of any
one connected with the employers or
with any other responsible group."
In the face of constant grilling
John Bltte, 29, owner of the car,
stuck to hie story that two men
whom he had given a ride assaulted
him and forcibly took the car. Bltte
was treated for bruises about the
head.
Detectives minutely scrutinized ev
ery item found In the car. A bill fold
yielded an Identification card bear
ing the names of Colfax and Robert
Blair whose mother said had known
Bltte for about a year and a half.
Police determined that the dyna
mite, batteries and fuse were the
contraption of an electrician or
someone acquainted with" the dis
charge of dynamite. Bltte 's last Job,
in March, was as an electrician.
A dim fingerprint on the old tin
can which housed the fuse was
photographed by police. A pair of
tin cutter shears found in Bltte's
garage were checked by police for
possible clues.
Vernon Orefry, 84, also was held
on an after-hours charge when he
walked past the machine and flashed
a light Into It. Police maintained
a vigil about the car from the time
it was found until dawn, hoping Its
occupants might return.

There were three of us who shared
the Job of piloting the Burlington's

to be - at the throttle for the last
165 miles. Our stream-lined bullet
certainly attracted the attention of
the country. I guess there were more
than a million people who turned
out along the route to see us go by.
It seemed like the entire population
was lined up at every town, city and
village to cheer us along. Even the
farmers In the fields got a big kick
out of it.
Piloting that train was a wonder-'

FOR CONFERENCES
BEND FARMER FOR
BEND, Ore., May 26. (AP) A
circuit court Jury today, convicted
James T. Barnes, former Callfornian,
of first degree murder of H. Knut
Lundln and recommended life Im
prisonment. Barnes had testified that he shot
in self defense at Lundin's ranch
home In southern Deschutes county
April 29. The Jury of 11 men and a
woman received the case shortly af
ter the noon hour, ending the trial
that started Tuesday.
Immediately after TS. M. Wright,
Jury foreman, read the verdict H.
H. Dearmond, attorney for the de
fendant, asked for five days to file
motion for arrest of Judgment.
Mrs. Barnes, who sat beside her
husband throughout the trial, was
not In the courtroom when the Jury
returned. When she was told by her
husband that he had been found
guilty she became violently hyster
ical and was placed under a phy
sician's care.
Barnes' plea was that he shot In
self-defense when he found Lundln
emerging from a bedroom at the
house, snapping a revolver. The state
maintained that Lundln shot in self
defense after Barnes fired Into his
room with a high-powered rifle.
Much of the evidence of the state
hinged around the hole and bullet
in Lundin's bedroom. That bullet,
testimony Indicated, was fired from
Barnes' rifle. Four bullet holes were
found in the Lundln farm home,
three made by a .38 -.55 calibre rifle.
The other testimony Indicated waa
made by a shot from a ,38 calibre re
volver held by Lundln. j
