Washington May Bid
. For G. 0. P. Convention

A definite decision whether or no,
Washington will put in a hid for the
Republican national convention, which
may be called for next spring, will be
made at meeting Of the three joint
committees from the Chamber of Com.
merce, the Board Of Trade and the Re-
tail Merchants Association, to meet al
noon Monday in the Chamber of Com
merce roms In the Brentano building.
In the event that Washington business
men decide to take the initiative. and
make further effort to capture the
convention for this city, the na,iu..a.
committee will be approached with the
arguments which have of late been uni
versally approved in behalf of the cap
ital of the nation, as the logical con-
vention city.
, One potent objection which has been
voiced to the special committee which
has been determining. the feasibility of
holding the convention here, is that
Washington lacks n suitable meeting
place. II is the opinion that il the
convention should be held here it would
be most advisable to have the dehgates
wei. satisfied with the city's showing. A
favorable comment on Washington from
the national delegates would mean far
more to boost the city than comment
from almost any other source, IL is
thought.
Three possible places for such a meet
ing have been considered in Convention
Hall. the New Willard, and the Arcade
DLiiding. None has thoroughly sat-
isfied the committee for a national meet
ing place.

STORAGE MEASURE
IS UP NEXT WEEK
Chairman Covington Ready For
Hearings on Mcclellan Reg
uIation Bill.

Chairman Covington, of the subcom-
mittee of the House Committee on In
terstate Commerce, today will set time
for hearings on the McKellar cold stor-
age regulation bill. 1t is planned to
begin hearings next week and witness
es present ng evidence in support Of the
housewives contention that packers
have utilized the cold storage to man.
iprlate the egg market. and witnesses
defending the storage men will be
heard.
Charles w. Covington. representing
New York cold storage interests, is now
In Washington to present his side of
the case. He has had q conference
with Attorney General McReynolds and
will be called before the Covington SUBJ
committee as one Of the first witness
es. according to present plans. The
the reports made by the field agents of
the Department Of Justice during the in
vestigation begun two weeks ago and
still IN progress, as to the part the
alleged cold storage manipulation has
played in advancing prices Of eggs and
other food PRODUCTS.
Letters continue to pour into the De-
partment of Justice from cold storage
men who eclare there has been no
manipulation In prices. A letter re-
ce!ved by he Attorney General today
from the Young Market Company, OF
Los Angeles, declares that the ninety
day storage limit on eggs set by the
McKellar bill would bring a shortage
In hens and raise prices to from 81
to 50 Il dozen.
THE ninety day limit would put the
poultry industry out of commi ssion,"
this firm writes 'for the reason that
eggs would be so cheap in two months
of the year as not to be worth gather
would ha hnf In
or three years there would not be
enough hens ior domestic use. therefore
no food supply for the large cities, and
fresh eggs in winter would bring from
81 to $3 a dozen"
Letters presenting the cold storage
mems side of the case, as well as that
showing the increased price of eggs
after being Ctored. compared to prices
paid on the farm, will be presented to
the committed. Just how long the hear
ings will continue and how many wit
nesses viii be summoned has not been

FIND COMPENSATION
LAWS BIG SUCCESS
Civic Federation investigators
Report Employers and En-
pIoyes Both Satisfied.

NEW YORK, Dec. 1S.-Declaring that
the greatest satisfaction, both among
employers and employees. had been found
in all States in which workmen's COM
pnnsation had been enacted, the joint
committee which has been studying the
5reration of workmen's compensation
acts for the past six months, submit
ted its report to the annual meeting
of the National Civic Federation here
today.
Tho principle of workmens compeD-
sation is well established; the only prob
lens of the future relate to the nature
Of the legislation and methods of ad-
ministrat!on," the report declared. Liti-
cation between employers and employees
arising out of personal injuries has
practically ceased in States having the
new law, it was stated. The commits
sion visited many States now having
workmens compensation laws, and re-
ported that objections ra.sed Dy either
employer or employe before the enact
inent of the conpensa Ion law had been
mostly removed by experience under
the acts.
Emp oyers who feared the legisla-
ton, with its increased cost, have freely
stated to the commission that although
the law costs them more than the old
law, they were mistaken in their orig
inal opposition to its enac ment, ana
would oppose any effort to repeal the
law" the report stated.
After stating that the prevailing SEN
timent favors I compensation law COW
eIing all employments, and discussing
various plans being considered for medi
cai and hospital aid, the report pointed
to the creation os industrial accident
hoards in Michigan, Massachusetts,
California, Wisconsin, Nevada, Texas
ano Connecticut. IN case of a difference
between the employer and the employe
the board acts as an arbitrator and ad-
juster.
As to insurance methods the report
declares that one Of the most difficult
problems Is that of protecting workmen
against the insolvency of his employer"
The report will be used in formulating
new model law for uniform State leg
islation. jams Duncan and John
MI chell vice presidents Of the Amer
car Federation OF Labor, co-operated
