LABOR TO FIGHT PROPOSED GOT

Assurance not Given That More Jobs Would be Provided. New York, Nov. 25.—The four day conference between railway presidents and labor leaders to consider a proposed 10 per cent reduction in wages of operating employes ended Sunday night without an agreement. The presidents will report back to their Eastern, Southern and Western associations while the leaders of the twenty-one labor organizations concerned will meet with 1,200 repi*esentatives of the employes in Chicago, Dec. 8. Out of those conferences are expected to come decisions by each group as to future action. D. E. Robertson, chairman of chairman of the special committee the Railway Labor Executives’ Association, informed Daniel Willard of railroad executives, labor could not accept the proposed wage cut because it was not given proper “assurance that the money thus saved would be applied either to increase employment, or even to stabilize employment.’’ Uncertainty of Time Factor Mr. Willard, in reply, informed Mr. Robertson the presidents believed the labor leaders had “realized the difficulties, in fact the iippossibilities, of giving any assurances concerning the future with conditions as uncertain as they are at the present time. “We did, however,” he added, “express the view that should such a reduction be made as we suggested, it would naturally tend to stabilize the employment of those now in the service and probably result in bringing back into the service many now temporarily unployed.

HORSE POWER IS NOW RETURNING

Kansas City. Mo., —(U.P.)— A definite swing back to the use of animal power, rather than gasolinefed machinery, for farm work has placed breeders of draft horses and Mules in the most favorable position in many years, leaders of the industry said. The American Royal Livestock show the breeders told the United Press a story of rising prices, increased demand, and minimized competition. George Argenbright, the 65-year-old Adrian, Mo., man who has made the Missouri mule famous in nearly 50 years of association with breeding of the long-eared animals, came to the show on crutches, and carried away, with his partner, Ed Frazier, every principal mule a-

ward.

He sold one span of mules for $325. and refused $400. for the pair which had just been awarded the show championship. “The trend back to mule power aiwl horse power on the farm is a definite and increasing thing.” He

said.

“Farm folk are tired of paying for gasoline when they can raise their own povVer so cheaply.” He said. “One reason that grain and hay prices have gone so low in the past year or two has been that farm

HUGE SWINDLE IS DISGOVERED

Houston, Tex., Nov. 21.—(UP) —A gigantic swindle, whose perpetrators brazenly presented to scientists and governments a machine they claimed would “crack” oxygen atoms and ultimately make water the world’s basic fuel supply, was disclosed by Federal officials Sunday. Disclosure of indictments issued almost two years ago was made with arrest of John F. Veale, of Wilmington, Del., as one of those indicted on charges of fraud through the mails. The “brains” of the swindle, which officials estimated to have brought in between $500,000 and $5,000,000, is Walter Hohenua, they said. He is now in prison in Germany awaiting trial on murder charges, they added. Others indicted here were Gus Barkow, Clitius B. Newman, Dr. John May and Clifford R. Skinner. Hohenua had incorporated in Wilmington, Del., the hydro-pro-duction corporation, with a capital stock of $3,000,000, of which $350,iOOO was offered for sale. To gain funds, Hohenua appeared before scientific bodies and governments, with his “invention”, officers said. He would demonstrate the machine for only a few minutes—just long enough to arouse interest—and never kept his promise to give it an actual working demonstration, they declared. Hohenua, according to newspaper accounts of that time, was the guest of Mussolini in Rome in 1929 and 1930, and won eulogies from Italian engineers for his machine. While appearing similarly before officials of Germany, he was arrested and held for American officers. At one time, Hohenua appeared before President Calles, of Mexico. Federal authroities never have substantiated the rumor that he obtained $1,000,000 from the Mexican government. The United States refused to grant Hohenua a patent upon his “invention.” Hohenua claimed the process of breaking an atom of water was known only to himself. He could burn water for fuel and entirely dispense with present-day sources of energy and power, he said. He claimed he could attack the structure of the oxygen atom, crack it and liberate hydrogen. The machine, by breaking the oxygen atom and using the liberated oxygen gas for fuel, would make water the basic fuel of the world, he said.

FJectrolux produces cod* slaut, steady cold . . . without machiuery or moving parts fPHE trend in automatic reI frigeratioo today is all toward FJectrolux. This newest, most modern refrigerator has no machinery, makes no sound. It remains silent for life, because there are no moving parts to wear, to vibrate and grow noisy with age. And instead of costing more to use than old-fashioned refrigerators. Electrolux costs less. 6 to 10 cents a day pays for all the gas and water used by this modem marcel. Architects and builders all over the country have installed this refrigerator in the finest homes and apartments. More than 130,000 are now in use. A tiny gas flame and a small Sow of water make Electrolux go.

They circulate the harmless refrigerant, which is hermetically sealed in rigid steel and never needs renewal. This refrigerant is ordinary ammonia. The gas flame is completely protected by an automatic shut-off. The chilling process in Electrolux doesn’t alternately stop and start, it goes on continuously, and so the cold is constant, steady. See Electrolux at our showroom before buying any automatic refrigerator. Despite its mauy advantages, Electrolux prices are no higher. Made in ten household models, ranging from three cu. ft. to twenty cu. ft. capacity. And for complete information by mail, write or telephone us.
