Confiscates Short Measure Baskets.
How to prevent the sale of berries
In short measure baskets is one of the
problems confronting the state food
department. The department already
this season has confiscated 1000 ,00C
short measure berry baskets and yet
complaints of short measure continue
to come in. The greatest trouble Is
with the quart baskets. Hundreds OF
thousands Of them have been found
which would contain only seven.
eights of a quart. The state depart
ment succeeded in getting Ohio basket
makers to discontinue manufacturing
any but full measure receptacles, but
this did not wholly correct the evil
for the simple reason that outside
basket people were willing to supply
the unscrupulous berry sellers. The
state food officials are now prepared
to begin strenuous campaign to pre-
vent short measure. The berry situa
tion calls attention to the fact thai
berries are among the few food com
modities which are permitted to be
sold by measure. Their exception II
due to their perishable nature.
Demand for Skilled Labor.
That there is great demand
throughout the United States fo
skilled labor is shown by the fact tha
of all the graduates in the college O
engineering at Ohio State universit!
this year fully three-fourths have Sc
cured positions in advance of thei
graduation. There are 115 students il
the engineering class this summer, ant
Just as soon as commencement weel
is over three-fourths of them will scat
ter throughout the country to begil
actual work. The practice now pre-
walls among industries all over tn,
United States to employ men in tn,
college engineering course at Ohi'
State and other universities in advanc,
OF the completion of their school work
This is the result of the keen rivalr,
that exists and to the desire of tn,
bigger industries to get the bes
trained men before other industrie
can reach them. The competition
makes salaries in the engineerin,
world proportionately higher than IL
many other callings that lure colleg
men.
Got signers With Little Trouble.
The chief industry in Holmes coun
ty, II would seem, is raising of Demo
Gratis. This is indicated by the nomi
mating petitions of candidates TO
state offices forwarded by the election
board OF that county to the secretar,
Of state. None of the Republican can
didates for governor secured an,
names in that county and only a few
of the other candidates OF that part,
were rewarded with names, and :
sparse supply at that Democrat,
candidates were able to get signer
for their petitions in the county with
out much trouble. With the exception
of Butler county, Holmes is probabl,
the strongest Democratic county in tn,
state.
Anti-Coal Screen Law Upheld.
In the opinion of the United States
supreme court the Green anti-coa
screen law is sound The Ohio coal on
orators asked that an order be issuet
restraining the industrial commission
from putting the law into effect, con
tending that it was an infringement o
the right of contract. Under this Law
miners will be paid on the basis of run
of-mine instead of after the coal Il
screened. The decision is expected t.
have an important bearing on the con
ference between the operators and tn,
miners, opening Wednesday, looking t,
a settlement of the coal strike.
