PLENTY OF TIN CANS FOR
CANNING FOOD PRODUCTS
New York Packer)

Washington, d. c., July 19.-Con
WINGED that an adequate supply Of
tin plate has now been obtained anC
that containers for the preservation
of the whole of the perishamle food
crop are available in more than sui
ficient quantities, the Department OF
Commerce has decided to lift the bar
on tin plate still further, but only fol-
the benefit of food products. Tin
cans for the packing of non-perish
able food products, as we'll as for the
packing of perishable food products
will be distributed, it was announced
This supply, however, will be only
for food products. The new order OF
the Department, which went into eff
feet few days ago, retains the ban
on tin cans for other products than
foods.
Through an arrangements for the
control of the imports of tin plate, the
Department of Commerce has been
able to dictate who shall receive a
supply of tin containers for packing
purposes. When the first fear of a
shortage of tin went abroad, the de-
partment called conference with the
trade, and 1t was agreed that only
perishable food products should be
put up with the new season. The de-
partment regulated the supply of tin
so as to let those packers have con-
tainers who promised to pack only
the perishable food products Within
the last few days another conference
of the trade was held, and it was
found that even larger quantity of
tin could be obtained, and now the
ban has been lifted in favor of the
non-perishable foods such as baked
beans, spaghetti, soups, etc.
The department, nevertheless is not
convinced that the supply of tin is
so great as to warrant the lifting of
the ban entirely. Tin cans for the
packing of oils, paints, varnish, to.
bacco and other nonfood products
will still be denied The recommen-
dation which was approved by the
Secretary of Commerce, Secretary of
Agriculture and Herbert C. Hoover,
food administrator, reads as follows:
1.-THE committee on the conserva-
ton of tin plate recommends to the
Secretary of Agriculture and the Sec
rotary of Commerce. that inasmuch
as the patriotic and hearty response
to the previous recommendation Of
the committee approved by the secre-
taries (regarding the use of tin plate)
has resulted in material relief in pro-
viding cans for the early crops of per-
ishables, that tin plate manufacture
ers no longer refrain from shipments
of plate to those packers making
their own cans when such are likely
to be used for the packing of non
perishable food products, and that
can makers no longer withhold ship
ments of cans to be used for con-
serving non-perishable food products,
although it is thought that packers

LACK OF WORK LARGE
FACTOR IN NEGRO TROUBLES
(By Henry M. Hyde. }

A feature of the negro problem in
Chicago which has not RECEIVED the
attention which it warrants is that
'ot unemployment.
There are already in the city a
considerable number Of coloreG peo-
ple-newcomers from the south
who have no regular work. To this
number additions are made almost
daily. t
At the stockyards alone, it is re-
ported on excellent authority, about
200 negroes who apply for work
each morning are turned away
Many Iof these people-and the
number increases are brought to
Chicago as the result of what are
actually false representations For
the purpose of this statement it
rakes little difference whether they
are persuaded to leave the south
through the beguilements of labor
agents and the misleading advertise
nents of northern employers or be-
cause of the articles printed in ne
gro newspapers and the letters writ
ten home by individual negroes who
have found better paying Jobs in the

race prejudice does exist there. 1t is
further fact that race prejudice is
increasing.
Saloons and Politics
1t is especially noticeable that all
through the Black Belt are located a
large number of saloons, and that
the majority of them are owned and
managed by white men. In Chicago,
also, as in other northern cities, too
many of the so-called negro leaders
ARE chiefly interested in controlling
the colored vote and in catering to
the vices and the appetites of their
people.
! Among the negroes-as among
either people who feel themselves I'M
fairly treated-there is too great a
tendency to defend black man,
simply because he is black, without
much reference to whether or not he
lis guilty of the charge against him.
Substantial and conservative ne
groes say that the better leaders
among them are not sufficiently ag-
gressive in denouncing offenders of
their own race.
