holiday goods, which are in good de-

BUS among footwear jobbers and re-

articles, such as cotton, eggs and dairy
products, have risen so sharply that
Dun's index number on Dec. l was
1929 against $07,S25 a month pre-
ylous. For the year there is a decline
of about > per cent. Manufacturing
conditions are still Irregular, the best
symptom of the week being the steGdi-
ness of iron and steel.
Several encouraging reports are re-
cciveq regarding the iron and steel sit
natlon. In most cases the proposed re-
ductlon in wages hns met with no
opposition, and such. business as comes
forward is handled without interrupt
ton, Another good sign is that the
past week has brought no further re-
duction in prices.
Both arrivals and shipments Of wheat
make POOR comparisons with last years
figures. Receipts were S.2G4,293 bush

WELL PLAYED
"The Gilded Fool" Was a
 Signal Success.

Another full house awarded the efforts of the SkagwlY Theatrical Stock Com panv, last night. lt was very evident that the audience thoroughly appreciated the rendition of "Ths Gllded Foel," by Percy Hunting, and the very able cast that supported hlm. Mr. Hunting dld the part easlly-wlthout strain or over acting and in a manner that made manifest his trained capabilities throughout the evening. John F. Dillon bore himself with realistic dig nity tn sustaining the character of an aged banker and broker. For two very young ladies, Misses Norma Ask and Flora Hsux- hurst are developing marked adaptabllltv for theatrical work. Mss Hauxhurst was a very sweet little mother, and Miss Ask, the leading lady, considering her tender years and the strong emotional part to which she was assigned, acquitted herself remarkably well, Ed. MeDOnald had q very difficult part to play In that it could not be made 10 appeal to the audience He sustained it eredltably. Eme | MscKav took more important par than heretofore and played lt will. |. Sowetby played hls part with becoming ease. Mason Gull bault made hlS second appearance In part that prscluded any display vt ability. Joe Marsh as usual carried off the honors in low comedy. Elmer A. Friend did the dlssIpated young chapple Supremely and was awarded by several hearty rounds Of applause. Eddie Tholins was the leading comedian ln the cast and was jolly good one slIeitlng laughter at his every appeal anee. Mrs. GuIlbault showed her usual thealrIc,l adaptabllltv as a languishlng elderly mlidsn while Mrs. Friend exhibited theatrical development that places her In the lead of all as a sprlghtly soubr tte The eoStun.lng of the cast was splendid. The ladies, though dressed true 10 thelT characters were eostumed very richly and the makeup of the gentlemen speaks volumes for the properties acquired by the company.
 The presence of Dr. M, F. Hall was missed from the stage by the audience. The doctor who has been very jealous In organizing and building up the company and has played we'll hIs part st every per formanes has, owing to pressing prOfes' sIonal engagements, been obliged to with draw from the C mpany, the success of which is so greatly due to his palnstaknG laborS

FRANCHISE TAX DECISION.
New York Appellate Division Declares
Special Law Unconstitutional.

New tOrk Appel1atcD lVABAUh ONCAtaECS
Special Law UNCONSTITUTIONAL.
Albany, N. Y, Jan. 20.-The appel
late division of the supreme court,
third department, by q vote of 3 (Par-
ker, Chase and Kellogg to Chester
and Smith), has decided that the spe-
cial franchise tax law of 1899 is uncon-
stitutional in the respect that it takes
the power of assessment from local
officers and imposes 1t upon the state
board of tax commissioners, thus vio-
lating the "home rule" principle of the
constitution.
The prevailing opinion, by Presiding
Judge Parker, admits the legislatures
power to add franchises to the list of
taxable property, but insists that prop
erty so added must be assessed by local
officers. Judge Kellogg, in a concur
ring opinion, raises the question wheth-
er the whole law may not then be vi
tiated by the difficulty of local officers
assessing parts of 'chain of fran
chises" between different municipali-
ties.
In dissenting opinions, Judge Chester
holds that the power to assess is an in
cident of the states taxing power and
may be located as the state sees fit;
Judge Smith, that the powers and
functions of local boards are not in
violate and may be modified for any
lawful state purpose. None Of the
opinions questions the taxability of
franchises.

SHOE WAR SPREADS.
HaverhiIl Factory Now Affected by
the Labor struggle.

Haverhin Factory Now Affected by
the Labor Struggle.
Haverhill, Mass, Jan. %. - Forty
nine turned workmen at billiard &
Tabors shoe factory have struck,
prompted by the Shoe Workers Pro
tective union, which, like the knights
of Labor in Lynn, is fighting the Boot
and Shoe Workers union and is plan
ming to demand recognition from all
local factories using the Boot and
Shoe Workers union stamp. Their
method will be to order strike OF
one firm at time until they secure
their demand. f1t fsUft 4Ba
During the forenoon fifty-two cutters
employed by the firm also quit work
and marched to the Shoe Workers Pro
tective headquarters. The turned work
men and cutters all belong to the Boot
and Shoe Workers union, and the
Shoe Workers Protective union Off
Gals say that they struck as protest
against the methods of that organiza-
ton.
The petition for an injunction to re-
strain the striking knights of Labor
shoe cutters in Lynn from interfering
with the business of manufacturers in
volved in the trouble has been referred
to a master in the superior court at
Boston. The petition was read to
Judge Richardson, who named Judge
Wardwell as master to hear the case.
The knights of Labor officials in
Lynn headquarters consider the refer
ence of the injunction proceedings to
a master as victory for them in the
preliminary skirmish at law. They
say they had expected that at least a
temporary injunction would be issued
