HOOVER SAYS
SLUMP LIKE
79 IMPENDS
NEW YORK. Dec. 3 (I.N.S.).—A
warning against a slump similar
to that of 1929 was made here by
former President Herbert Hoover.
In an address before a meeting
of American Society of Mechanical
Engineers, Hoover declared that
to prevent another economic de
bacle steps should be taken to make
available to the consumer the sav
ings effected by industrial improve
ments.
He said:
"I am convinced that when
we fully understand the eco
nomic history of the period of
the twenties, we shall find that
the debacle which terminated
another apparently highly pros
perous period was largely con
tributed to by a failure of indus
try to pass its Improvement on
to the consumer. We are headed
in that same direction again
unless we can bring the intelli
gence and courage of the engi
neer into industrial stateman
ship.
“If increased wages and
profits are to absorb the sav
ings which the engineer pro
duces through labor-saving de
vices and renewed and new
methods, and there is not a re
duction in price, which is es
sential to increasing consump
tion, thereby we are ourselves
by our own neglect producing
that mass of technological un
employment.
“Increasing prices merely be
cause there is a rising demand
defeats the very end which
statesmanship requires in our
industries at this time.”
The former President spoke in
connection with the presentation
to Ambrose Swasey of Cleveland,
90-year-old builder of astronomical
instruments, of the Hoover medal,
"awarded by engineers to a fel
low-engineer for distinguished
public service.”
BOMBiNrQUIZ
INDICTS B
SPRINGFIELD, Hl., December 3
(I.N.S.).—Government agents to
day lifted the veil of secrecy blan
keting their probe of the railroad
and mine bombings which have
spread terror in the mid-Illinois
coal fields for three years, reveal
ing 13 members of the insurgent
Progressive Miners Union entan
gled In the legal net.
This disclosure came as a grand
jury returned an indictment
against Mrs. Jane Lee, 30-year-old
wife of a miner, giving the first
inkling of the revelations that are
to come, authorities said. The
indictment names 12 other per
sons in connection with the bomb
ing of homes, railroads and mines,
outgrowth of the bitter fight be
tween the Progressive Miners
Union and the United Mine Work
ers of America for supremacy in
the Illinois fields.
Mrs. Lee is specifically charged
with perjury in testifying before
the jury. It alleges she refused
to substantiate affidavits previ
ously made by her in which she
implicated herself, her husband,
and eleven others in the bomb
ings. The true bill asserts that
Mrs. Lee denied earlier statements
that she and the others named
played important roles in the
bombing of an Illinois Central
Railroad coal train here December
23, 1934.
Banquet Is Planned
To Honor Judge Scott
Plans for a testimonial banquet
in honor of Judge Armond W.
Scott of the Municipal Court on
December 17 are being completed

Association.
