akron expects tire Industry to resume at first of year

(Py Associated Press) AKRON. O., Dec 17. Partial resumption in the automobile tire industry, shortly after the first of the year is forecast by activity in the labor departments of the big rubber companies in the Akron district. Although silent as to what definite plans have been made, officials ot the various" tire factories make no secret that they are keeping in touch with former employes so that experienced labor will be available when needed. Rumors that companies have sent

letters to men asking them to report after the first of the year have been officially denied. Officials of these companies explain that the first step in the resumption of tire manufacture vill be to give men now in those departments full time work instead of the IS to 30 hours weekly schedules Bow1 in force. Surplus Disappearing. Sales departments of the companies apparently are well pleased with the volume of tire orders being received. Surplus stocks of tires have been greatly depleted during the last four months and the incoming orders give promise of resumption in plant activity. An official of the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company has expressed the opinion that spring will find an actual shortage in supplies of tires throughcut the country. Most conservative observers on business conditions name March as the month when the tire industry will brishten, and work in plants resume. At present nearly 20,000 workers In rublfer and allied factories are idle in. Akron and about twice that number have left the city. To Refinance Company. The future of the Goodyear Tire and Rubber company will depend to a great extent upon the reorganization rlan, it is said. A refinancing plan undoubtedly will be adopted by the directors soon, and it is proposed to borrow $50,000,000 from eastern bankers, which practically will be a mortgage on the companies properties. Many of the smaller rubber companies operating in Akron have been better able to weather the depression than their big competitors. Another development which has tended to throw optimism over the present situation Is the request of big Industrial concerns for a list of the vacant properties in Akron. Real estate men are assisting the rubber companies in securing a list of local properties for rent or sale, it Is said.

Many Indiana Trappers

Are Idle This Season INDIANAPOLIS, Dec. 17. Many trappers In Indiana will not follow the business of taking fur this season because the bard work it entails offers very little remuneration, according to George N. Mannfeld, superintendent of fisheries and game for the state department of conservation. Mr. Mannfeld bases his opinion on

numerous letters received . from fur

takers all over the state who claim that an exceedingly low market for pelts is no inducement to continue. The situation - existing . in Indiana is found in other states and it Is ex

pected that as a result of the market slump and no demand for pelts, thousands of animals ; which otherwise would have fallen , victims to hunters and trappers will escape this season.

500 STOLEN CARS IN MONTH, CHICAGO MARK (By Associated Press.) CHICAGO, Dec. lT.More than BOO stolen automobiles a month is Chicago's record up to date this year, according to Detective Sergeant George O'Conner, bead of the automobile detail. Of the 5.547 cars stolen during

the year, however, 4,022 have been re

covered and a thorough search is be ing carried on for all missing ears. An ordinance reaulring all motorists to carry identification cards recently passed by city council will be of great assistance in reducing the number of cars which disappear daily, according to Sergeant O'Conner. "Suspicious persons driving automobiles can be questioned and if they are not able to produce a card showing that they are the owner of the car. it will be easy to find out if they are thieves or driving with the owner's consent," the detective sergeant declared. The owner's record, which is

to be entered on the back of each card, will also be ot assistance to an arresting officer, O'Conner said.

Loves Her Cows and Chickens Again " "I have had stomach trouble for twenty years and for the past year have eaten nothing but stale bread and drank hot water. Was too weak to do any kind of work. Six weeks ago I took the first dose of Mayr's Wonderful Remedy and am now doing all my housework besides looking after my chickens and milking two cows every day. Mine has been a wonderful recovery." It is a simple, harmless preparation that removes the catarrhal mucus from the intestinal tract and allays the inflammation which causes practically all stomach, liver and intestinal ailments, including appendicitis.
