By EDWARD W. PICKARD i F. X. Ebl FUurllER protection for American Ameri-can Industries and American workmen against certain foreign competition may be expected In the Immediate future Some days' ago Frank X Eble, United States commissioner com-missioner of customs, cus-toms, began a series se-ries of bearings on the complaints of manufacturers that the dumping of foreign for-eign products on our markets at ruinously ruin-ously low prices was threatening our industries. Mr. Eble heard the testimony of representatives representa-tives of various Industries and examined ex-amined the foreign goods they took to Washington. lie was urged to correct the evil by ordering higher Import duties. Then President Hoover, fulfilling promises made In several speeches, directed the federal tariff commission commis-sion to open at once an investigation investiga-tion Into the foreign competition that Is distressing the manufacturers manufactur-ers and causing increased unemployment unem-ployment in many American communities. commu-nities. Mr. Hoover's letter was directed di-rected to Chairman Robert L. O'Brien of the commission and appended ap-pended to it was a list of sixteen Industries that are being adversely affected together with the names of the cities and towns that are injured in-jured by the Influx of foreign goods. The letter said: . "You recognize that currencies in thirty countries have now depreciated depre-ciated from 5 to 55 per cent, which has reduced the standards of living liv-ing In those countries and greatly widened the difference in cost of production between the United States and those localities. "I would therefore be obliged If the tariff commission would expedite expe-dite this matter in order to afford all possible relief to unemployment In these communities. I urge this expedition because of this possible retardation of Increasing employment employ-ment of our people, If It shall prove that the differences in cost of production between here and abroad In these Industries have altered the basis of the tariff duties, I wish to receive recomendatlons of the tariff commission at the earliest possible moment." Included In the Injured industries are rag and grass rugs, brushes, leather gloves, silverware, Jewelry, chemical products, electric light bulbs, cutlery, pottery, rubber boots and shoes, iron and steel products, lumber products, canned vegetables and Bsh and dried beans. The list was complied by the Commerce department de-partment The action of the President la based entirely on his desire to provide pro-vide more Jobs and to protect those Jobs that exist So far as he goes, the benefit to the employers Is a side Issue. J t 'J n Sir Oswald Mosley DIRECTORS of the United States Steel corporation came to the front boldly with action that Indl cated they could see real Improvement Improve-ment In the business condition of the country. They voted to declare the quarterly dividend on the preferred pre-ferred stock, although It was not earned during the previous three three months, and no margin of profit has been shown for the Issue since September of last year. Payment Pay-ment of the dividend requires th outlay of $6,304,919. and the net loss for the quarter ending September Septem-ber 80 was announced as $20,871.-709. $20,871.-709. But a special supplementary report was made showing gains In production since last July and still better gains In the shipments of finished fin-ished steel. Three months ago the directors had warned the holders of preferred stock that continuance of the dividend payments would depend de-pend on Improvement In business conditions. Wall Street bad been tense with excitement In advance of the dividend divi-dend announcement Probably no group of men could be assembled In Wall Street whose combined opinion opin-ion would Dejnore highly respected by the financial community than the Steel directors, representing, as they do. the strongest banking In terests In the country. GOVERNOR ROOSEVELT returned re-turned to Albany from his campaign tour of the Middle West and the South with the assurance of Democratic leaders that the southern states which voted for Mr Hoover in 1928 had definitely returned re-turned to the Democratic fold. His speaking program from this on was somewhat uncertain but probablv was to Include talks In Boston. New Tork and other eastern cities. President Hoover made a quick trip to Indianapolis where he spoke Friday night and then hurried hack to Washington to put the finishing touches on addresses to be delivered deliv-ered la Newark, N. J, and New York city. The latter he was said to consider one of the most Important Impor-tant of his campaign. Some of Mr. Hoover's advisers were urging him to make another tour of the Middle West the real battle ground ; others thought he should make a big transcontinental trans-continental swing that would land him at his home at Palo Alto, Calif., for election day. Al Smith's speech In Newark, which was broadcast by radio, was listened to with Intense Interest. He devoted a great deal of It to the liquor Issue, and that had the effect of bringing Senator Borah out Into the open with the flat assertion asser-tion that he would vote for Hoover, though he Indicated be was not going to take part In the campaign. cam-paign. The Idahoan characterized Smith's address as "the most effective ef-fective talk for President Hoover In this campaign." SEVERAL hundred thousands -of unemployed men from many parts of England and also from Scotland and Wales moved In groups on London during the week and concentrated there to demand that parliament re- sclnd the "means test" which re- ft quires a recipient ' i of the dole to furnish fur-nish proof that he has no other means of support There were few untoward Incidents In their march for the au- thorltles of the towns through which they passed provided food and shelter. But It was feared there might be rioting In London, so the regular police of the metropolitan district and civil-Ian civil-Ian volunteers sworn in as special spe-cial police, some 40,000 In all, were mobilized to keep order. This was due mainly to the fact that the Communists were active among the marchers and, as always, were eager to stir up trouble. One of the preliminary Incidents was a lively street fight between Jobless men and the British Fascists Fas-cists organized by Sir Oswald Mosley. Mos-ley. The millionaire baronet addressing ad-dressing a meeting In the East End. had been heckled, and. at the head of his black-shirt ed followers, was on the way to their headquarters headquar-ters near the parliament buildings, followed by a Jeering mob. Near Trafalgar square Sir Oswald's men broke ranks and engaged in a sharp battle with their tormentors. During a debate In the house of commons on a motion of censure for the government's dole pollry which motion was defeated Prime Minister MacDonald declared the means test could not be abolished but promised that some phases of the policy would he reconsidered. These, he said, might Include the Items of pensions and savings, which under the present arrangements arrange-ments must be spent before an unemployed person Is eligible to receive benefits. IT WAS announced In London by the India ottice that the third Indian In-dian round table conference would open in London about the middle of November and probably would continue con-tinue until the Christmas holidays Neither Mahatma Gandhi nor any member of the All-India Congress party is to be among the Indian delegates . unless the . preliminary list already Issued Is enlarged. Nor will there be any women dflegates. Several princes will attend, but most of those rulers will be repre sented by their prime ministers. f WHEN the assembly of the League d?

NEITHER the French, nor the British eovernment wishes to take up the matter of the war debts to the United States until after the Presidential election. The French chamber of deputies voted to postpone the debate on the question by deciding to give prior consideration to domestic matters. Several days previously premier Hen-lot had Indicated that France Intended to pay an Installment Install-ment on Its debt on December 15, but It was revealed that no provision pro-vision for such a payment had been made In the French budget Questioners in the house of commons com-mons tried to learn -the British government's gov-ernment's Intentions regarding the American debt but Neville Chamberlain Cham-berlain refused to say anything definite,' , ' One Conservative asked ' Chamberlain Cham-berlain to promise there would be no payment until the house had debated the matter, but he replied that he wns "not in a position at present" to discuss the matter. Other members Jumped up to ask further questions, but the chancellor chan-cellor refused to answer. ITALY has been busy celebrating the end of the first decade of Fascism, and Premier Mussolini has been making some Interesting addresses ad-dresses In Turin, Milan and other cities. The Turlnese have been the most active of the Duce's opponents, but he moved among thousands of workers In factories without escort es-cort and made proffers of peace to them, urging them to Join the Fascist party. Then, In an outdoor speech heard by half a million, the premier put forth a plea to the United States to cancel or reduce the European war debts. Continu Ing with International matters, be declared Germany's demand for armament parity was fully Justified but that the Germans must wait until the world disarmament confer ence breaks up in what he predicts would 'be failure. He said Italy would remain a, member of the League of Nations because "the league is . very sick and we cannot abnndon It" Without mentioning France by name, he made what was Inter preted by the crowd as a challenge to that nation whose frontier is only 40 miles west of there In his statement that "Turin has never been afraid of war. After being banqueted In Turin by Crown Prince Humbert and his bride, the Duce went on to Milan where he predicted that within ten more years all Europe would go Fascist and that before the end of the century Italy would again be the leader of civilization. The premier said there was no need to waste time reviewing the past or thinking of it that his thought always was for the future. "In these days of unrest and uncertainty un-certainty elsewhere In the world there are countries far older than this which do not know what their future will be. We know. We are sure of our future and are advanc ing always straight ahead with cour age and determination." He expressed the opinion that sometimes his words were misun derstood abroad, adding: "I am de slrous of peace and tranquillity, but I also am anxious for new battles and fresh combats." SINCE Raymond Robins dropped out of sight on September '3 not a clew to the whereabouts of the noted Chicago reformer, phllan throplst and pub Heist has been found. His friends cannot understand how a man of such prominence could thus disappear and have now renewed the search for him However, they fear that he was slain and not merely kid naped as was at first believed. Robins was a powerful figure In Chicago civic affairs for many yeurs. He was a leader of the Progressive party and In 1914 was Its candidate for United States senator from 1111 nols. He has a home In Maine and and another in Florida. Leading people of the country were his friends. He was a noted orator, a temperance worker and a supporter of prohibition, but never was known as a snooper, his friends say, al though he waged war on bootlegger In the Florida county where he re sided. That Florida rum runners might have waylaid him In New York seemed improbable to many, but I; Is the only theory of his disappear a nee his friends have.
