CLAIM REPORT PROPAGANDA Article Written By Paid Correspondent Exaggerates “Presperity” Indianapolis, Oct. 4—Under the| caption "Depression Ends in Elwood Mills,” the people of Indiana were toid this week that the population of 10,000 in Elwood are juhalant over the reopening next Monday of the plant owned there by the American Sheet and Tin Plate Company. The author of the article is a paid political correspondent for a Republican newspaper. called to Indiana from Washington. D. C. for the sole purpose of impressing on the people of the state that business conditions have improved because of the national administration program of manufacturing prosperity. Due to tile type of campaign conducted by the Republican state organization in Indiana two years ago. when the people of the state were told there was no depression, an investigation of the situation at Elwood was conducted by Democratic leaders of the state with the assistance of several prominent Elwood business men. This investigation disclosed that tha iin plate mill at Elwood will be opened, but that instead of a | capacity of 1,200 workers being! employed, not more than 250 will have jobs. At least 400 of the 1.200 workers who formerly had jobs at 1 the Elwood plant have moved to orj are working in Gary. It is esti-: mated that about 50 will start, work in the opening department. 10 nr 12 shearmen will be engaged, and after the annealing pro-; cess of a week's duration, probably) 75 more men will be engaged, then) perhaps 35 girls and 25 men will start in the shipping room. At least a mouth will be consumed hpfnre the plant can be in opera tion in every department. The impression is given at the opening of the story that the plant is to be in full operation, hut in the third paragraph it is admitted | 'hat the mills, at the start, will be operated at 40 percent capacity. This means that the plant will be operated nine shifts a w"ek or an average of three days of work per employee. What is more startling in the investigation than the untruths on capacity is the fact that instead - of the payroll aggregating $85,000 a month, as the ar'icle states, it will not reach more than $70,000 i The average pay check will amount to sl2 or sl4 every two; ! weeks, or about $6 to $7 a week for each worker During the administration of President Woodrow: Wilson, the same jobs averaged between S9O and SIOO per pay day.

PRICES SHOW LITTLE CHANGE Index of Farm Prices Is 59 Per Cent of PreWar Level Washington, Oct. 4. —(Special)— The index of farm prices of agricultural producte as of September i 15 was the same as on August 16,! or 59 percent of llie pre-war level.! according to the Bureau of Agricultural Economics, U. S. Departber 15 a year ago the index was ment pf Agriculture. On Septem--72 per cent of pre-war. Farm prices of chickens and eggs were up 9 points In the index from August 15 to September: cotton and cotton seed prices were up 6 points. dairy products were up 2 points: grains were down 2 points: meat animals were down 2 points, and prices of fruits and vegetables were down 11 points. Compared with the index of ; prices on September 15 a year ago, I the index of cotton and cottonseed on September this year was up 10 j points; grains, down 9 points:! fruits and vegetables, down 15 j points; chickens and eggs, dowu i 15 points; meat animals, down 19, points, and dairy products, down! 25 points. The farm price of hogs declined approximately 7 per cent from; August 15 to September 15 this 1

year, te decline being attributed to a slackening of packer demand because the relatively large receipts brought out by higher prices during August proved there was no possibility of a shortage in supplies of live hogs. The hog-corn ratio for the United States advanced one-tenth of a bushel from! August 15 to September 15, and at 13.5 on the latter date was ninetenths of a bushel higher than on September 15 a year ago. The bureau says that prospects for a 1932 corn crop considerably larger than last year's production, ; larger receipts, and continued I poor commercial and feeding des mand combined to depress the United States average farm price on September 15 approximately 7 per cent under the index «n Aug ! ust 15. A 3 per cent decline in the average farm price of wheat from August 15 to September 15 is attributed to increased offerings of the large new crop of Canadian grain and to increased Russian exports. The average farm price of potatoes on September 16 wag at the lowest level for any September in I the last 25 years, and is attributed Ito the pressure of seasonally in ; creasing marketings. Farmers were getting only 38 cents a bushel on September 15, compared with - 51 cents on August 15, and GO cents on September 15, 1931. The September 15 farm price of eggs showed only a seasonal ] advance over mid August, despite 1 light current receipts and unusual- | iy small storage holdings, says the ' bureau.
