Chicago, May 2I.-Hog receipts were
! arrivals at other western centers eased
the market.
Receipts for Monday were estimated
at 1000 early, and later raised to So
900. while some figures showed run to
; be nearly 10000 Even at largest fig
ure receipts were much lighter than
anticipated. Reports came from west
crn Iowa. Nebraska. Kansas and South
Dakota that only 40 per cent of corn
has been planted and farmers re-
manned working in fields rather than
! load hogs. This may account for fall
ing off of marketings.
There is no lack of competition in
the hog market these days. The trade
has acquired a remarka bly, even stride
and an impression that the bottom OF
the slump has been uncovered is we'll
grounded. All the small houses are
avid bidders their practice being 10
buy early in the day, indica ting appre-
hension that the crop may not be large
ienough TO go around. Pursuing their
time honored practice of trailing the
big packers frequently clean up the
crop later a the highest prices of the
session. All this suggests that hogs
are worth what they are costing. Sup
ply at the principal primary receiving
points is running considerably below
an average for the past five years.

the consumer demand fails to broaden
materially as a result, primarily be-
cause the retail butcher is not doing
his part in marking down cost to his
customers, and this in spite of recent
slices having been taken off wholesale

A Bill to End Railroad Strikes.

A bill amending the Erdman act anC
overcoming some Of its defects was in
troduced last week in both houses oil
Congress. The Importance Of the mat
| ter is indicated in the fact that twice
within the last year the whole eastern
section of the United States has beer
threatened by n railroad strike, and now
the same cloud is looming mp again, foI
the conductors and trainmen in the east.
ern section are taking strike vote.
In the engineers controversy the rail
roads declared that an arbitration board
of three, as the Erdman act provides
was inadequate. Accordingly, an arbi-
tration board Of seven members was
finally agreed upon. Five were selected
as impartial representatives of the pub
lie, and only two represented the par
ties to the controversy. The result was
unsatisfactory to the employees. Ac-
cordingly, when the locomotive fremen
came into conflict with the railroads,
they insisted upon an arbitration board
of three, as provided by the act So
bitterly did the railroads oppose this
proposition, and so persistently did the
employees stick to it, that a strike was
only few hours off when the railroads
finally capitulated.
A second important defect in the Erd-
man act is that it provides for no Off
cial whose sole duty it shall be to at
tend to the matter of railroad contr6ver-
sizes.
IL is to meet these two, difficulties es-
pecially that the new bill is designed.
II grovidas for a n.,p, M; innar nc mo.
diation and Cancellation who, with two
other officers of the government, will
constitute board of mediation and con-
citation. The bill provides for arbitra-
ton when desired, by board of 81 in
stead of three; two to be selected by
the railroads involved, two by the EN-
ployes, and two by the four already
chosen, or in case of failure. by the
board or mediation and Cancellation.
1t is significant that the railroads and
the railroad brotherhoods have cooper
ated in drafting bill and are giving it
their united support. 1t is this fact
that has led officers of the National Civ
ic Federation, who have been instrument
al in bringing the matter to head, to
feel sanguine as to its results it becomes
a law. In this connection Ralph NJ.
Easley chairman of the executive eoun-
Gil sof the Civic Federation. makes this
significant and optimistic statement:
The railroads and the brotherhoods
have joined hands in this proposition,
and that may reasonably be taken to
mean that we are to have no more
strikes on the railroads in this country"

Boys and Girls Clubs and the Rural
School.

The Importance of the boys and girls
club movement as affecting the rural
school is discussed in a recent report by
bureau of education. Mr. Monahan
points out that the clubs are at present
more closely identified with the schools
than ever before, and that their work
is becoming more definite part of the
school program. The tremendous infu-
ence of these clubs in aid of better farm
ing, better living conditions, and better
schools, is therefore exerted as part of
the movement to make the rural school
the real center of rural civilization
After showing how the clubs are or
ganized through the school authorities,
Mr.. M0nahan speaks particularly of the
girls garden and canning clubs, which in
an incredibly short time have assumed
an Importance second only to the better
known boys corn clubs. Furthermore,
while the governments activities in be-
half of the clubs have until recently been
confined mainly to the South, they are
now extended to the northern and west
ern states. Boys and girls agricultur-
al clubs are now organized under ma
tional auspices in most of the states.
These newer clubs are organized in
much the same way as in the South,
except that they will be in closer CON
nection with the state colleges of agri-
culture. The work has been planned d.
rectly for the farm and home, rather
than for the scho,l, but in most in
stances it is carried on through the agen-
ey Of the school, and may therefore be
made an intebral part Of the educa-
tional work by the school authorities.
Besides the boys and girls clubs,
number Of other agencies are at work
throughout the United States aiding In
the rural school advance. Mr.. Monahan
gives an account of these in his report
He describes, among other things, the
creation of rural school division in
the bureau of education specially pro-
vided for by Congress; state rural com
missions in several of the states; work
of state and county rural supervisors
in several of the states; work of state
and county rural supervisors; and school
associations in the country
districts. He also discusses the impor-
tant literature of the year dealing with
rural life and rural education.
