EXPANSION OF BUSINESS PLEA GIVEN NATION Projects to Furnish Jobs, Boost Earning Power Are Pledged. AVERAGE MAN IS ‘KEY’ Hoover Conference Decides Security of Home and Savings Chief Factor. BV RAY TUCKER Tlmr, Staff Wr’trr WASHINGTON. Aug. 27.—The nation's industrial leaders attending President Herbert Hoover’s economic conference left for home today carrying the message from administration spokesmen, including President, Hoover, that the termination of the banking strain should lean them to undertake a general business expansion. They recognized that business has not yet revived. Assurances were given by government officials that $5,000,000,000 worth of credit will be used to underwrite the needs of industry, business, banking, agriculture and home owners. Representatives of leading industries pledged themselves to undertake new construction and employment projects. Gap Must Be Bridged Such men as Owen D. Young and A. W. Robertson of Pittsburgh, board chairman of Westlnghouse, pointed out that the problem now is to bridge the gap between banking improvement and industrial stagnation. It generally w'as admittted that the main task Is to persuade banks to lend and business institutions to borrow', thereby taking advantage of present low prices in making repairs and beginning new projects. “Unemployment is the supreme problem,’’ speakers agreed, stressing that every move must be made with a view to furnishing jobs and increasing the workers’ purchasing power. Rivalling this in the discussion was the necessity of giving a sense of security to the average man and his family, especially as it affects the savings he has put into banks or in purchasing a home. Results of Conference Concrete results of the conference included the following: Government action to bar mortgage foreclosure until Oct. 15, when the new home loan bank board can take over this task. A program under which the reconstruction Finance Corporation •will advance emore than $100,000,000 for railroad repairs, new equipment and maintenance. Acceptance of the “share work" program already undertaken in several federal reserve districts. Announcement, by representatives of leading industries that they plan to capitalize prospective recovery by large outlays at current low prices for labor and material.

INGOLDSBV United Pr** Staff Correspondent OMAHA. Neb., Aug. 27.—10wa and Nebraska farniers tightened picket lines on highways leading to the Omaha and Council Bluffs market centers today in a determined effort to increase commodity prices. The strikers concentrated their strike on milk trucks to cause a serious shortage of milk and cream.

PLANES TO GIVE GALE WARNINGS Siren Shrieks to Tell of Storm on Way. B'l Scrippx-Hntcard Xetcspaper Alliance HOUSTON, Aug. 27.—The United States weather bureau in Houston has begun work on an alarm system to warn the South Texas gulf coast of approaching hurricanes or other destructive storms. Weatherman Lawrence Daingerfield proposes to equip army airplanes w'ith sirens so that they can fly over the danger zone area and, in a few' minutes, warn thousands to seek places of safety. In the hurricane of Aug. 13. many residents and visitors along the coast and in out-of-the-W'ay communities and settlements failed to receive new's of the approaching storm soon enough to give them time to prepare for it. Warnings sent by telephone, telegraph and over radio stations failed to reach many such sections. Daingerfield believes the plan to equip airplanes w'ith sirens for storm warnings will solve the problem of reaching out-of-the-way places quickly. The plan w'ill have to have the approval of the war department before it is put into use. If the sirens are used, it also W'ill become necessary to pass a state law prohibiting other planes from using them. CHURCH IS RANSACKED South Slavonia Catholic Hall Is Robbed of SBS.

ILLINOIS MINE OFFICIAL SHOT; TERROR GROWS New Striker Army Reported Massing to Invade Franklin County. THOUSANDS AT WORK Secret Plans Being Made for New March, Is Rumor at Shafts. By United Pregg ZEIGLER, 111., Aug. 27.—The shooting of a mine examiner, expul- ; sion from the union of twenty men, and reports that anew afrmy of | strikers was forming for another at- | tempt to picket local pits spread ! excitement and terror over Franklin county coal fields today. Frank Moulin, examiner for the No. 2 Zeigler mine, was shot Friday night while standing in his front yard. Two men fired at him as they drove past in an automobile. A charge of buckshot struck him in the arm. Physicians said he would recover. The incident added to the excitement aroused earlier in the day when the twenty local men were put out of the union for leading a revolt last week. Also, there w r as the constant fear that miners from northern counties would form a new' protest march, and possibly bring about another battle such as that in w’hich several persons w'ere w'ounded early this week at nearby Mulkeytowm. Reports from Benton, Taylorville and Gillespie were that the new march w'as being planned secretly. The plan, it w'as said, was to bring only a small group this time, one that would be less unw-ieldly than the army of 18,500 men, w'ho were repulsed by deputy sheriffs at Muddy river. Most of the large Illinois mines now operating, in defiance of the strikers are in Franklin county. Several thousand miners in this vicinity are working under the new' $5 a day wage scale.
