REDFIELD ADDRESSES
CASKET MANUFACTURERS
Declares that Price Agreements Are
Things of the Past in Closing
Days Remarks.

Price agreements are thing OF the
past" declared Secretary William c.
Redfield, in an address before the con-
ference of the Casket Manufacturers
Association of America this morning at
the Powhatan Hotel
He said that the manufacturer VINO
hopes to succeed must put in an &C
count cost system, SO that he knows
exactly where he stands on any article
he manufactures. Based on this ac-
curate knowledge" he said. he must
then work out his own solution" One
cardinal principle which he enunciated
was that the manufacturer or execu-
tive must be constantly dissatisfied
with conditions in his shop and must
always be trying to better conditions.
Election of officers Late Today.
Secretary Redfeld spoke on the sub
iect upon special invitation of the asso-
citation, which, it was stated some time
ago, did away with price agreements
and declared that the ideas of the as
sociation in this connection were pre-
cisely with his ideals.
Business which went over from the
session yesterday was taken up follow
ing the address.
Officers for the ensuing year and the
place of meeting next year are to be
named at the closing session late this
afternoon.

The hogs I lost" he said, were be-

averaged about $50 pounds in weight
AS hogs of that weight have not
brought less than ~ cents per pound

all pedigreed and registered, and had the
epidemic carried these animals off the

Many farmers, 1t is reported have
lost from fifty to one hundred or more
hogs from the disease, entire droves
being wiped out. It is stated that this
is the first outbreak of cholera that ever
visited the vicinity, and farmers are at
loss to know how 1t originated. Many
