River Claims
Mother. Three
Small Children
SPOKANE, Wash, Sept. 1 Ott
A 46-year-old mother and three
young children were drowned Tues
day night In the Spokane river.
Officers could only speculate on
the cause of the drownings. When
the bodies were found a six-year-old
girl ttlU was clutching her
mother's hair.
The victims were Mrs. Mabel G.
Ash by and her children. Rath, 1;
' Sharon Ray, 4. and Robert, .
Walter T. Ashby. the husband
and father, was fishing 500 yards
downstream. He arrived on the
scene just as officers were recover
ing the bodies.
Dr. A. E. Lien, coroner, said the
Bother and children were having a
picnic on the river bank while Ash
by and an older boy were fishing.
Lien aald he believed one at the
children must have slipped Into the
river and that the ethers were car
ried off trying In a resrne attempt.
He aald there were no witnesses.
Ray'O. Riddle, another fisherman,
first discovered the tragedy when
he saw the bodies floating down-atream.
Overtime Suit
OK'd By Court
SAN FRANCISCO. Sept. 1 (JP A
federal court hat approved an over
time pay suit against the Bow River
Lumber company. Cottage Orove,
Ore, although the company la now
out of business.
The XJS. circuit court of appeals
ordered the suit to go to trial. It
waa filed by William R. MrComb.
administrator of the department of
labor's wage-hour division. The suit
involved overtime claims of some
of M employes who worked more
than 40 hour weekly without re
ceiving extra time pay.
struck. In theec, and other Indus
tries, labor and management are
reported holding off contract dect
alona to see which way the steel
stalemate will be rnelved. Not only
Is there the strike threat, but also
the question of what wage Increase
might da to prices, salea volume,
and company profit and rasa sheets
and purchasing power.
The steel dispute will come to a
head over the second week-end In
September. The president's fact
finding board Is expected to make
its recommendations September 10.
The unions have set September 14
as the strike deadline. In the few
days In between, the steel compa
nies and the union must decide
what they'll do about the board's
suggestions.
Unless another truce extends the
strike deadline, observers fear the
time will be too short for the two
parties to reach an agreement. The
union has asked wage and pension
concessions adding up to 30 cents
an hour. Some think the board may
suggest that it be cut about in third.
Strikes In the first postwar years
merely added to the Inflationary
spiral by aggravating shortages of
goods In great demand, and boost
ing prices.
This fall however, strikes are
mere likely to deepen the recession.
In most industries finished goods
inventories are high enough to take
care of consumer demand for some
time. But the leas of purchasing
power by workers In struck Indus
tries will hit retailer, hard, and
mushroom out all through the econ
omy. For example, the railroads that
serve the coal fields ara already hit
by the three-day week which Lewis
decreed July 1. Freight traffic Is
down and rail employes have been
laid off.
Labor leaders in other Industries
deny that they are just waiting to
see what happens In steel and coal
before pushing this year's fourth
round bargaining to a conclusion.
But many on the management
side of the table believe that when
the steel pattern takes shape in a
couple of weeks, and Lewis tactics!
and chance become clearer, the
die will have been cast for peace
or war this fall in the key Indus-1
tries, until that is known, the trend
of business In general will be In
doubt.

Acreage Bill
Protection For
Wheat Growers
WA8HINOTON. Sept. 1 W
President Truman ha signed a bill
providing machinery to protect
wheat growers In arras where there
have been rapid expansions of
wheat acreage in recent years.
It also provides a method tor
southern and western farmers to
cut cotton acreage! to prevent sharp
brea' 1 In cotton price In the years
ahead. And It provides protection
for new peanut gnawers.
The new law says the acreage
allotment of wheat for the I960 crop
for any farm shall not be leu than
the larger of
1. M per cent of IAI the acreage
an the farm seeded for the produc
tion of wheal in 1M9, and (Ml any
other acreage seeded for the pro
duction of wheat In 194S whkh waa
fallowed and from which no crop
waa harvested In the calendar year
IMS, or
i. S per cent of (At the acreage
on the farm seeded for the produc
tion of wheat In IMA, and IBI any
other acreage seeded for the pro
duction of wheal In 147 which was
fallowed and from which no crop
waa harvested In the calendar year
IsHa.
These figures would be the farm
er's base and his cut below this
would be equivalent to the reduc
tion In the national acreage allot
ment below average plantings dur
ing the past 10 years, or seven per
cent.
In event the national allotment In
any subsequent year is reduced be
low 2,100.000 the allotment for any
state will be reduced In the same
ratio as the national allotment I
reduced below 1.100.000.
