The minimum hourly wage in the Ford plant is now 60 cents an hour with as high as $1.35 hourly paid for some processes. The wage scale has been gradually lifted since August 1.

He directed officials of the agricultural and relief administrations to exi pedite the plan in every way. The government recently purchased and distributed 100.000.000 pounds of cured pork.

ONE POLICEMAN KILLED DURING BANDIT ESCAPE Estimates of Loot In Mail Robbery Range To $500,000 1 MUCH OF LOOT NON-NEGOTIABLE Chicago, Sept. 22.— <U.R) — Estimates ranged today as high as $500,000 as the total ' amount of checks securities, ' coupons and cash obtained by bandits in a murderous mail huldup near the postoffice shortly after midnight. It was emphasized, how- | ever, that much of the loot was non-negotiable. Miles Cunningham, a policeman, was killed by the machine gun fire of the bandits when their flight was temporarily halted by a rol- . listen. The ruthless daring of the bandits together with clue found in their abandoned car led authorities to suspect George (Machine Gum Kelly and Verne Miller, two )of the most desperate criminals I known to be at large. A total of six m n participated in the robbery, using two automobiles equipped with smoke-throw--1 ing apparatus, police sirens and red and green lights such as are ■ used on squad cars. They obtained two mail pouches being transported from the postoffice to the Federal Reserve Bank. Just what in those two sacks may remain undetermined for days. But the consensus among i authorities today was that the robI bets will obtain some coupons that • can be turned immediately into - cash, some negotiable securities, - perhaps a little cash and a large number of cheeks in the process -of cancellation. The total may > reach a half million dollars, though ;' the bandits will realize only a i 1 fraction of this. Five machine gunners were rid- ■ ing in the first automobile as it stopped alongside the bank car. As they leaped out huge clouds of black smoke poured from their machine to blind their victims. The bandits grabbed the money bags from the fluor of the bank car. The messengers and guards, completely surprised, surrendered without resistance. Meanwhile a second bandit car had drawn up behind the first. To this the machine gunners ran. As they speeded down Adams street they collided with an automobile in which three girls and three boys were riding on Halsted street. Both ears overturned, the bandits' machine swerving up on the sidewalk. Patrolman Miles Cunningham, 35, stepped over to investigate. Without warning three machine gunners opened fire on him. He fell with a dozen slugs in his body. A patrolman who was walking with Cunningham took refuge bei hind a signboard. He exchanged several shots with the bandits but without effect. A dozen persons standing at the i intersection were endangered by j the burst of machine gun fire. While one of the machine gunners kept up a running tire, the ) others halted the car of S. W. Knowles, Jr., of Park Ridge. The men tied several blocks, abandoned Knowles’ car, commandeered j another, and continued their flight. The guards riding in the bank ear were Proctor Hall and John McGillen. Howard Seilheimer, a telegraph «... Q — (CONTTNUI’JD ON PAGE SIX) Young Man Dies Os Strange Disease Hartford City.
