LET GOOD WORK
HAVE MAIN TRACK

The United States Commission on In
dustrial Relations announces that on
December IA it will begin at Dallas, Tex
as. an inquiry into the land question. The
commission is thus getting close to one
of the objects for which it was created
to find the cause of industrial unrest and
to propose to Congress constructive re-
medal measures. That taxation as a
means of destroying land monopoly will
have consideration is also announced by
the commission.
Texas is a good place to begin such an
investigation. Land monopoly has made
such progress there that a majority of
the farmers are tenants. The State has
had for sometime a Renters Union, which
has just been changed into the Land
League of America. This organization
demands in its platform that idle land
should be taxed sufficiently to force it
into use It's influence has been felt even
by the Democratic politicians of the
State. Governor elect Ferguson secured
his nomination by promising to take
measures to curb landlordism. 1t remains
to be seen how practical or impractical he
may turn out to be.
The commissions hearings in Texas
should surely be interesting.

AS PIKE DIRECTORS
TO PUT CR|MP IN
BAD EGG TRAFFIC

City, State and Federal authorities are
now actively cooperating in Illinois to
put an end to the illegal traffic in rotten
eggs. From evidence already gathered.
there seems to be a deinit markt in
Chicago for riots and spots at $500
a case of 30 dozen In consequence rots
and spots from all over the surrounding
country have been coming into Chicago
in large numbers In the past the delay
necessary to secure authorization from
Washington to make the seizures under
the Federal food and drugs act has
proved serious handicap in breaking
up the traffic. With the cooperation Of
the State authorities, however, this de-
lay is now largely obviated. Under the
detention section of the State law gov
erning this matter State inspectors are
able to hold suspicious shipments for
examination and further investigation.
The State authorities being on the spot,
are able to act with great promptness.
In this way not only are seizures made
possible, but the necessary steps toward
criminal prosecution are also facilitated.
One of the firms in Chicago handling
these. bad eggs has already been tried
by a State court and found guilty.
Shipments of bad eggs are also being
to the authorities in Chicago by
City, State and Federal inspectors in
other states in order that these eggs
may be traced to there ultimate destina
tion.
Although there is certain demand for
inedible eggs for technical purposes,
such as tanning leather most of the rots
and spots that reach Chicago are first
broken and frozen, and then sold to bak-
ers for use in cakes and other forms Of
food In one instance. at least, a ship
ment of these eggs was traced to a firm
which admitted that they had no use
for them except in food. As a matter
Of fact Federal inspectors have been able
to secure ample evidence of the use of
unfit eggs for this purpose. Before they
had the active cooperation Of the State
however, it was difficult to
act with the promptness required to OBJ
tain satisfactory results. Now, with the
State and Federal authorities working to-
gether it is believed the traffic can be
broken up very rapidly. In this connec-
tion it is pointed out that most of the
firms using these unfit eggs probably do
so reluctantly believing that the compe-
tition of others forces them into the ira
