The New York Herald has made a
country wide canvass for conditions in
the business world. The report is not
over encouraging. Here il is in a nut

The gist of this report shows that
where business Is reflected in the crops
it is good, but where II hinges on the
mill wheels and industrial activities it
is not SO good
From all over the country comes the
word that change was apparent with
the coming OF the new tariff 1t is toe
early to know how business interests
will finally adjust themselves to these
new conditions While it has been til,

there can be competitive conditions
without q material reduction in wages
still in many cases our American manu-
facturers may find in actual practice
that they cannot compete with Euro
Epean manufacturers. 1t is true now a
ever that "trade follows the price. -

Mayor ". H. Fciker Of Northampton
is opposed to granting licenses for sun
day shows at the motion picture
theaterS. He feels that it would be
largely children and young people who
would attend and that they coula
spend sunday afternoon and evening
to better advantage than going to a
motion picture show. He adm1ts that
if the theaters were not open tnt
young people, would be much more
inclined TO church attendance The
mayor feels that it is largely matte
of money making on the part of the
proprietors and that they are the ones
who are at the bottom of the agitation
for an open Sunday. He SAYS tnat the
time may come when there may bt
a demand for Sunday shows in North
ampton but that the time has not com,
and that the city would be better OF
without them.

1t has been said that the pure food
law has operated to increase prices and
that IT is one of the reasons for the
high cost of living. This is not so.
The pure food law has increased food
values, but not food prices. 1t is true
that spices which FIVE years ago could
be bought for - cents pound now
sell for - cents a pound; maple syrup
which formerly sold for 90 cents gal
lon is now worth %125 gallon; 10
cent flayoring extracts have been re-
placed by 25-cent products. But this
increase in price does not mean that
the consumer is paving more for his
toodstut1s than formerly. 1t is moro
economical to buy pure spices at >
cents n pound than spices containing
80 per cent of ground olive stones, CO.
coanut shells and sawdusf at - cents
/ a pound To those who love the flavor
of maple syrup, the genuine product at
4 S1.25 gallon is far more satisfactory
than an artificial product at half the
4 price. and the housewife who pays -
cents for bottle of vanilla instead OF
10 cents for Il worthless imitation j.

against various railroads for alleged
violations of the l6-hour railroad crew
law. 1t is stated one eastern road

lations of the law.
Evidence on which the suits may be
based is understoodito have been given
by railroad heads in reporting cases
where crews have been on duty longer
than 16 hours because of hot.boxes.
BY the 16-hour law, of 1907, the rail-
roads we're relieved of responsibility
for crews being on duty for more than
16 hours when such violation was ne
cessitated by burned bridges. wash
outs or other unavoid able cause. The
roads are said to have held that hot.
boxes would come under that provi-
sion, but the government would con-
tend that the hot boxes might be pre-
vented by proper precautions.
