WOMAN EDITOR HITS
ANTITRUST BILLS
Tells House Committee Wants
Of WOmankind Should
Be Considered.

WASHINGTON, Feb. ls-There was
real Interest in the antitrust hearings be-
fore the HOUSE Committee on Judiciary to-
day when Mrs Christine Frederick Of
Philadelphia, consulting editor Of the
Ladies Home Journal, appeared. Mrs.
Frederick held the attention Of the com
mttee for more than an hour. She t.,ld
them that the trainers of legisla ton de-
signed to regulate trusts and restore fair
ana honest competition should consider
the wants OF womanknd among the many
other subjects brought within their juris-
diction.
Mrs Frederick Is the first woman to ap-
pear IN connection with the antitrust pro-
gramme She SAID
The women to-day are studying busi.
ness methods and believe that competition
VIII work out the salvation of Ibu.,inesu
more quickly II real competition In given
aus chanoe. In making laws about busi-
ness hope that the committee will have
regard Tor the three cardinal desires Of
the consumers.
II. They desire the fullest and frankest
knowledge about everything they buy
q They want the ability TO purcahse
through messenger, child or a servant
any standard article without fear OF over
charge and with the price and quality
and the guarantees Of both secure. In
other words. Ia the consumers IN
nor
United within the law to protect their
prices.
Sales Of National Scope Needed.
3. They wait TO be able TO find
standard goods for sale at every rom
venient corner and this can only be- ac
complished by giving the manufacturers
the privilege OF reaching GALES OF national
scope. in order that prices NAV he
decreased
the consumer. This Is the scientific way
OF lowering the cost OF living"
MIRA Frederick does not believe in
bargain sales. cut rate sales or some
thing equally good" as a substitute for
standard articles In daily use in the
household.
Mrs, Frederick ardently espoused the
cause OF the merchants and manufacturers
who have previously appeared before the
committee urging the preservation OF their
right to Tx prices on standardized goods
She said:
"One OF the arguments against the set
price which I have often heard expressed
is that II permits the price to be exorb,.
tant. but theorists who follow this line of
argument forget that II the manufacturer
sets TOO high price on any article, even
though II Is universally necessary in mod
ern life. the consumer does not pay the
price 1t Is then that the cheaper and
unguarantoed substitute brings disaster to
the manufacturer OF the standard article.
Il have as yet TO find consumer who
has 20 pay exorbltant prices for anything
except such articles as are really scarce
or those controlled by monopoly. am
always able to find plenty OF substitute
articles made by manufacturers which the
natural laws of trade have put on the
market at lower price, but ordinarily /,
like most other thoughtful consumers, pre-
fer to Pay the higher price for the stand
ard article"

Will DUST ENGINEERS
Seven County Engineers Slated For
Dismissal by Highway Commission
Will Proceed Against Davis County
SunerviSors

Des Moines, July 30.--Seven county
engineers of this state are slated for
removal within the next two weeks.
The reason in each case is said to be
failure to perform duties.
Following the adoption of a resoiu-
ton of the state highway commission
yesterday. H. c. Beard today made
application to Attorney General Cosson
for an Investigation of road conditions
in Davis county. for the purpose of in
stituting proceedings to GUST the board
of supervisors.
Mr.. Beard claims that the COM
missions patience is exhausted with
the Davis county officials. The SUI
pervisors began a year ago to oppose
the new road law and have refused
TO operate under it. he says. Altho
county engineer has been employed
he has been preventd from doing any
work. The sum of $4,000 is being held
in the road and bridge funds. with no
attempts 10 use any of it. the commits

different parts of Davis county ask
ing the board To take action to com.

or TO bring about their removal. said
Mr.. Beard.
The highway commission yesterday
instructed Thomas Mcdonald. chief err
gineer. to report on experiments on the

experiments will be begun at once and
the results will be noted during the

was obtained yesterday from sources
close to the White House From the
same sources came the report that
Lindley NJ. Garrison, secretary of war,
would be appointed attorney general
to succeed Mr.. McReynolds.
Franklin K Lane, secretary of the
interior. appears t o have presented
the strongest rivalry for appointment
as attorney general. but it is believed
that Joseph p. Tumulty, secretary to
the president, who long has been as
ISOLATED with Secretary Garrison, has
succeeded in turning the scale for his
friend
The attorney genera1ship is regarded
generally as a stepping stone TO the su~
preme court. President Wilson has
been quoted as having stated that he
would like TO appoint Secretary Lane
to the supreme court. Apparently tbs
expected appointment of Secretary
Garrison to the attorney generaisflip
may operate as an obstacle to such an
appointment

Chicago. July S0-Because of poor de-
mand there was slow market Tor
hogs TO-DAY. with a decline OF 10 cents
in the late hours OF trading.
Shippers We're good buyers a. the
start Wednesday, and the light weight
offerings We're given .aust attention.
neN top for the Year was established
when $3.50 was paii for a couple Of
punches of light-wsi ghts, and this
price was the highest in uanY months.
Shippers brought hogs up to $3.50.
Range OF prices grew wider and was
about the widest Of the season. Qua. :
ity OF offerings was only fair and the
shippers in quest of prime lots were
forced TO pay higher rates.
Armour apparently has a convenient
place to put every load % his ind of
mixed hogs obtainable at sS.60N SIS.
This imbues the trade with confidence
that current prices are legitimate.
Good hogs have been selling too close
To packing grades and as they are
getting scarce. further enhancement OF
values will be logical if grass widows
are worth current cost.
The trade must have few prime
hogs and prediction is made that the
gap between quality and inferiority
VIII widen out.
Quality deteriorates rs the season
works along and this week the New
England syndicate shipping concerns,
winch usually put up .heir iioes at in
terror points, have been forced TO come

sLAv TROOPS WILL REVOLT.
Bohemian Editor Declares Serb Kindred
Will Desert Austrian Army.


Chicago July 30.--August Ceringer.
publisher of the Bohe mian Evening
Svornost predicts a revolution among
the Slavs in the Austrian army, once
the forces of Francis Joseph get near
enough to the Servian lines for them
to desert to the Balkan arms, after
shooting Their own officers.
He said that the Bohemians in Chi
cage are expec,antly awaiting the first
news % Incidents in which regiments of
forcibly enlisted Bohemian troops take
advantage of an ARRAY to shoot their
leaders. who are usually Germans
MIR. Gerinser said that there are 200.-
600 Bohemians in the armies OF the
dual monarchy but that these men
would be OF no use as soldiers in a war
on kindred Slayonic people.
These men were drafted forcibly,
he declared. and they would regard
themselves az nurderers if they shot
down their Servian kindred. But if the
opportunity comes. they will desert by
thousands. and then the world will see
what good soldiers they make. for they
will all re-enlist with the Servians.
There are 100000 Slavs who were
formerly subjects of Austria Hungary
now in the United States. Many OF us
were forced to flee Austrian tyranny
and others were, driven away by the
industrial rottenness of the Hapsburg
administration. But thousands of our
brothers were unable to flee Austria
They will now be called on to fight
nangle and kill their Servian brothers
and sisters, for the heroic Servian wo-
men will die by the side OF the Seryian
soldiers.
We Slavs living in the United States
are eager TO help the Servians in q
fight for the freedom of central Europe
which Austria always tried to smother
We appeal to the American public for
aid in their behalf"
