Aug. 10.—There’s a rec son railroad executives are trying to side ’.ack the latest suggestion from Joseph B. Eastman, federal co-ordk nator of transportation. Eastman is nesting that railroads put more men to woik on maintenance. Railroads agree that their roadbeds need eiable woik. but those that need up keep the most would have to borrow money from the U. S. government for . the puipose. And once a road borrows money from the government, the gov ernment virtually dictates the policv of the road, including the salaries of ■high executives. You will observe how agitatedly the Pennsylvania paid off all it owed to the Reconstruction Fi nance Corporation. It looks as if some well-paid execu tives will stave off maintenance as long as possible. EUROPE ON SIDELINES European traders seem <nit of the New York stock market at the pres ent time—preferring “watchful wait ing . ” No European buying or selling of consequence is reported. UP-TO-THE MINUTE A New York department store is receiving the latest on autumn fash ion openings in Paris by trans-atlan tic phone. The gist of the information is pub lished in newspaper advertisements. CHECK PAYMENTS Commercial check payments still are below normal. Bank clearings went up with stock and commodity speculation—and have fallen with them. Business activity is gauged by the velocity of commercial checks. NRA JOKERS There are plenty of jokers in. NRA acceptances. Thousands of complaints are being made that restaurants, stores, etc., work their employes only the “requir ed number of hours” by forcing them to take off two or three hours for lunch. Thus the employers have stagl fjer shifts without employing extra help. First Breaks For Most Mark’ ets Are Moderately Heavy (Continued from Page One.) at Lumberton, described the opening there as “the most satisfactory I have seen in years ” Approximately 75.000 pounds were on the floors of the warehouses at Dillon, S. C., and, although most of it was first pullings, warehousemen described it as the ripest, finest type of first primings ever seen here. The price range there on early sales was $5 to $25 per 100 pounds. Only two tags were turned. Pamplico, S. C., had an opening break about "the same as Dillon’s with primings and lugs constituting the major portion of the offerings, al though there was a fair sprinkling of seconds. An average of $lO to sl3 per 100 was indicated there. One block sold for S4O and farmers apparently were satisfied, with few tickets turn ed. On an opening break of 100.000 pounds, prices were running from $5 to $25 at Fair Bluff, N. C. The six warehouses at Lumberton had a quarter of a million pounds on their floors and an average struck for one row across the warehouse was $13.48 per 100. Prices there for the lower grades were almost double last year’s. Upwards of 100,000 pounds were on the warehouse floors at Darlington, these work projects and pay these Temple Cottage Station 6 Wrightsville Beach One Block From Lumina Bates: $2 per day $lO per week American Flan i Mrs. R.

Carlos Mendieta, 60, physi cian, sugar-planter and Nationalist Party leader, has been mentioned frequently as the probable succes sor to President Machado of Cuba should the latter resign or be re moved. f Central Press) As elsewhere, the cheaper grades were going at highrr pries and farmers seemed satisfied. Over 500,000 pounds, much more than was expected, was on the floors at Lake City, one eof the largest mar kets in South Carolina. An average struck there for the first 25,000 pounds sold for $12.75. Few sales were rejected Kingstree, another of the larger South Carolina markets, had around 250,000 pounds on its warehouse floors and the possibility of blocked sales arose. A few grades there sold as high as $39 per hundred, but the average appeared, on the basis of early sales, to be running from sll to sl2. Little dissatisfaction with prices was evi dent. At Chadbourn, N. C„ three ware houses were estimated to have 150,000 pounds on the floors, with the indi cated average about 12 cents a pound. Machado’s Course Greatest Question Pressing Solution (Continued from Page one.) consider the formula of peace present ed by United States Ambassador Sum ner Weiles, acting as mediator in the conflict between the Machado suppor ters and the opposition. This formula entails the withdrawal of Machado to make way for a presi dent approved by all parties. Differences within the parties over the mediation program widened as the Liberal conference got under way, and it appeared possible that the old party lines would be completely obliterated. Meanwhile, the general strike, which brought the conflict over Machado to a head, continued unbroken, de spite the efforts of the government. AMBASSADOR CINTAS IN .
