Shopm
en Move Toward
Showdown With Hines'
Administration.
With passage by the Senate of the
Cummins bill and rejection of proposi
tions to continue federal rail control,
railroad labor problems came to the
front again here last night.
Samuel Gompers. it became known
at the Federation of Labor, will in
the next few days, formally ask Presi- j
dent Wilson to veto the Cummins bill j
if it comes to him in anything like
its present form. Gompers is bit
^ terly opposed to the anti-strike clause
in the measure and with other labor
leaders favors continuation of fed-,
eral control for two years.
The second development was the1
approach of a "showdown" between j
railroad shopman and the Railroad'
Administration over workers' de-'
mands for a 25 per cent salary in- i
? lease. This dispute, wheih was !
pending about four months, may j

The shopmen are asking that wages
for mechanics be increased to Si cents
. hh hour, helpers to 60 cents and ap
prentices to 'Sit cents. These demands
| ^ were first made last March and were
pressed last August, resulting In a
number of unauthorized strikes. The
ou^stion was temporarily settled by
the granting of a small increase with
the request to the men by President
Wilson that they hold their demands )
in abeyance until the government's ?
cost of living campaign could show .
r^.Wults. The ninety days, set as the j
period wherein prices should show a i
drop, has more than passed, and shop- [

PALMER AFTER
CLOTHING RING
Attorney General Serves
Notice on "Trust to
Lower Prices.
Prosecution of the ready-made
clothing "trust" may he the next
objective of Atornev General Palmer
I in his fight to reduce prices.
Palmer, it was learned, has ready
la big stick to swing over the cloth
j ing manufacturers like the one
| used in forcins: a settlement with
the packers. The Attorney General,
however, plans first to use diplo
matic methods on the clothing mak
ers.
Ample opportunity for price goug
ers in the clothing line to withdraw
gracefully from their ??ntrencnment
of high prices will be afforded at a
conference here in January. Th?
call for this conference probably
will b?? sent out tomorrow. Tt Wilt .
include clothing manufacturers and j
wholesale and retail dealers.
Palmer will emphasize to the con-j
ferees that prices must come down.
Then they will be left to their own
devices in working out a plan. In
doing this they will have the as- j
siatance of agents of the Department j
of Justice. But the plan as finally
approved by the conference will have
to have also the approval of the At- j
tornev General. Assistant Attorney |
General Figg. in charge of the con
ference. yesterday denied any inti
mation that the high-priced-clothing |
ring is to be coerced. l>espite this, I
it is known that the department I
i has 'at its disposal evidence tending)
to show profiteering in many lines i
| of wearing apparel.
The Federal Trade Commission,
which furnished the bulk of the evi
dence with which Palmer armed him
self. before forcing the packers to
t settlement, also has figures on the
clothing industry.

powdered mica or asbestos fiber.
"Do not use candles on the Christ

"Do not leave matches within reach
of children at holiday time.
"Do not allow trees to remain in
side buildings after the holidays. The
tree itself ignites readily when needles
have become dry. A large number of
fires usually occur in January from
this cause.

Restrictions imposed by States on :

This monopoly is being used by ' 1

Airplanes Fail
To Annoy Ducks
Airplanes do not bother wild

when in commsnd of Dorr and
Carlatrom fleid*. flew twice a
dsy for a period of seveiat
months over a swamp that wan
the feeding place of wild ducks,
and in order to flush the fowl it
wa? necessary for him to pilot
his plane within SO or 100 feet
of the surface. But when he
would take off the ducks would
immediately return to the
swamp. /

of airplanes on wild ducks the
colonel on several occasions at
tempted to herd a flock of teal
numbering about 500 over a

FARMERSLEVEL
FIRE ON PALMER
Declare Settlement WitS
Packers "Sweeping De
feat for Consumers.
? A sweeping victory for tli*> whole
sale giocers and a sweeping defeat
for th? livestock producers, the farm
ers and the consumers of America."
This is the characterization placed
by the Farmers' National C ouncil, in
* statement issued last night, upon
the recent agreement reached bc
?ften the Department of Justice and
the "Biu Five" packers, by which the
latter will withdraw from tho manu
facture and sale of "unrelated" prod
ucts.
The agreement makes more ncc*-s
sarv than ever th?> eimcUnent of the
Kenyon-Anderson bill lor the protec
tion of the farmers, producers i:mI
the public, according to the state
ment. and "serves notice in unmist'ik
able terms upon the American people
that parties guilty of the grossest
forms of conspiracy iN constraint of
trade and to establish monot?oly. may.
apparently, through agreement with
the Department of Jui-tice. secure im
munity for their actions."
Further, it is asserted, the decree
permit* the packers, "through holding!
companies. ;o continue th*?ir exploi'.a- j
tifcn of the people."
The statement reads in par:
"The decree issued by the idepart
ment of Justice serves notice in un
mistakable terms upon the American
people that parties guilty of the
grossest forms of conspiracy in re
straint of trade, and to stablish '
monopoly may apparently, through
agreement with the Department of
Justice, secure imnMinity for their
actions. Another equally striking
feature about the deciee is that un
der it ihe packers may through hold
ing companies continue their ex
ploitations of the people.
