The bankers pur chases all the bonda themselves and deliberately foreot to register a v" rani Mallon them. They knew what they were doing. Their high-class lawyers un questionably told them how to go about It. Only a high-class lawyer could have figured It out. By buying all the bonds themselves they kept the transaction wholly within New York state.

Conflicting claims made It impos sible to determine how many struck and how many were forced Into Idle ness because other workers walked out. By the Associated Press. The day which organlred labor usually gives to displaying Its strength by a parade and talk, found what may prove to be one of the greatest strikes In the nation's history in progress today. A not Immediately known portion of the nation's textile workers were determined to keep their mills Idle Until demands for shorter hours, wage adjustments and the end of the "stretch out" were met. William Green, president of the American Federation of Labor, gave his labor day speech in Wichita, Kansas. Before leaving Washington, he sent out a message to all union labor. stressing what he called the need for keeping up mass purchasing power through high wages. "Because workers have not shared proportionately irl their Increased pro ductivity fin the machine age) ne said "buying power In the Retail mar kets has not been adequate to sustain the large amounts which owners of capita have Invested." Employment gains since the Roose velt administration took office last year were cited by Secretary Perkins as material for labor day thought. "Nearly 2.000.000 men and women who were Jobless a year ago today have had work In private Industry within the year and approximately 3.000.000 who were out of work when the depression was at Its worst have had Jobs in factories, mines, stores and other private enterprises since then," she said. 4- HAVANA.

Green, president of the American Federation of Labor, de clared today the nation must accept the 30-hour week "as a real remedy for unemployment" and said the fed eration would appeal to the govern ment for direct relief payment to the Idle this winter. In a Labor Day appraisement of national planning and economic ex perimentation, the veteran labor chief asserted the 40-hour week, now the maximum under most NRA codes, could not supply employment for the country's workers. "It is either mounting unemploy ment with all its tragic consequences or shorter hours and higher wages for all," he said. "It Is the opinion of representa tives of labor and many outstanding economists as well as many enlight ened and progressive employers that Industry and the nation must accept and apply the six-hour day and the five-day week as a real remedy for unemployment." The federation president proposed direct relief payments ' by the fed rat government in addition to aid through employment created by vav lous relief projects. BIRMINGHAM. Ala., Sept. 3. (AP) Speaking on "the balanced life." Secretary of Commerce Daniel C. Roper today told a labor day audience here the object of the Roosevelt pro gram "Is stmply to secure and main tain a balance In prof Ha for all who participate In making those profits possible."

(AP) Hundreds of Frenchmen lost sleep nd got wet in a vain hunt over the week-end for "the scaly monster of Lake Camon." A violent storm swept over the Tartar! ns district as hunders, ready for anything, splashed about the reed-grown borders of the lake look ing for a creature which had been described to them as a "prehistoric besst with phosphorescent eyes." Nothing has come of the hunt up to now, but the determination of the hunters, amateur scientists and the curious crew as M. F. Harud, the man who reported seeing the beast, stuck to his original story and en larged on aspects of the beast. It was thick, and about 36 feet long, he said. It moved cumbersome ly and an eerie light shown from Its eyes, he stated. Its body, he be lieved, was covered with scales. The strange hunt brought Into action an official of an ancient of ficethe wolf lieutenant. In olden times It was his duty to protect districts from predatory animals. The popular opinion .was that a prehis toric monster would certs Inly be classified as predatory.
