Attorney for Packing House En-

troll Is Absurd.
FAITH VIOLATION CHARGED
Alleged That Employers Have Not
Lived Up to Mediation
Agreements.

Washington, ID. c., Jan. 22.-
The demand of Chicago packing
house employees for government
control OF the meat industry dur
ing the war was broadened today
to include all Of the packing plants
0, the Unlted Stares. -
1t was made clear at the outset of
hearings before the senate's media
tion commission that the employees be-
lieve the question to be one of ma
tional necessity and now merely a To-
cal dispute between the Chicago
plants and their workers.
Urges Action.
1T is ABSURD for a group of six COM
panies to control the food supply Of
the United States and the allies"
Frank P. Walsh, attorney for the
workers, told the commission. Mr.
Walsh declared it was necessary for
the government to act now and not
wait for a calamity.
Levy Mayer, attorney for the pack
ers, argued that the companies were
striving to assist the nation in the war
and that there was no adequate reason
to justify seizure of the plants from
the owners.
= Violation Of Agreement?
Disagreement developed as to the
operating Of the Chicago mediation
pact negotiated by the commission on
Christmas day. The workers contend
ed that the packers failed to live up
to their agreement. ..

Wooden Ship Program
Temporarily Halted

Washington, Jan. 22.-Stoppage of
the wooden shipbuilding is only tenn
porarily and is due to lack Of ma

manager Of the emergency fleet cor

ed to Ignite producers in this state
the following letter: Z
January 4, prices for Ignite at the
mines in North Dakota were fixed by
the United States fuel administration
as follows: Screened lump, $3.50;
six-inch steam lump 81; mine run,
1925; screenings, SIPS.
prices established are intended to
govern sales by the producers of lig-
mite in the case of delivery on board
railroad cars at the mines. Where lig-
mite is mined at distance from the
railroad, an additional reasonable
charge is permitted to cover the cost
of placing Ignite on board railroad
cars. Similarity, where Ignite is de.
livered in wagons or by other means
of transportation.
I'm view of the many different sit
uations existing throughout the Ignite
producing sections of North Dakota, it
is not practicable to establish fixed
charge for haulage to apply in all
cases where charge in addition to
the maximum price is permissible.
When ever a producer of Ignite deliv-
ers the produce of his mine directly to
consumers or on board railroad cars
at point or points distant from the
mine, in wagons or by other means Of
transportation of the producer, appli-
cation should be made to the chair
man of the district committee for the
establishment of maximum haulage
charges, with statements of cost and
recommendations for proper permiss-
able maximum charges.

LAY IN COAL NOW FOR
YOUR WINTER FIRES

Mr.. Henry H. Schutt, u. S. railway
administrator, spent Monday in the
city. Mr.. Schutt states that f. B.
WincheIl. director general Of railroads
in the United States, had ordered
that everybody lay in q full supply
of coal for the coming winter. He
also insisted that all manufacturing
concerns lay in not only their supply
of coal, but also a supply Of raw ma
terials and products to last them from
November to April. This is done to
relieve the railroads of SO much I'M
necessary traffic, and to obviate the
congestion Of traffic during the win
ter. There is also likely to be a car
shortage during the winter, and if
people will lay in their coal supply
now, the cars can be used for other
purposes. This order also applies
to department stores and the like, as
well as all other industries. The
congested traffic and shortage Of
cars will be due to the fact that
the railroads are required to move
more raw material for the carious
manufacturing plants
over the country and the transport
alton of troops. Officials think that
BY getting the coal and other mate
rails hauled in the summer, the roads
will be better able to handle this in
creased business during the winter
months.

HOME SERVICE SECTION
OF AMERICAN RED CROSS

The Red Cross, In Its effort TO az
all that is possible for the men who
are in the service, has organized what
is known as Home Service.
This department, whose field and
scope Of work is growing larger ev.
cry day, is the strong link between
fthe government, the soldier and his
family. 1t is ready to give advice
on matters that may concern the men
il the service, not only as to allot-
ments, allowances, war risk insur-
ance, etc, but probably its greatest
work is to aid the families Of those
men when questions of far more
weight and value arise than just
the mere giving of financial aid.
During these times Of stress, when
all the worlds energy seems turned
toward destruction, the Home Ser
vice beaims its work Of construction,
which means the building of better
homes and the making Of a better
people,
1t is our aim, if possible, to have
the soldier and the sailor return to
home which he shall never want to
leave; which will mean that the
family must u every way keep pace
with the soldier, who, it is true,
has left home to fight for his coun-
try, but at the same time, at the
hands Of our remarkable govern
ment, is securing a very broadening
and enlightening training.
1t is a known truth that despite
the huge quantities Of munitions,
men, money. and tons Of ships which
are being used to win this war, with
out that intangible something called
morale, no battle, and certainly no
war, can ever be won. 1t is morale
that enables the sailor or soldier to
endure hardships, hunger, cold, and
to face death, and yet keep on fight
ing just as long as everything goes
web at home the soldier is able to
keep this cheerfulness and confidence,
which means success and victory. But
let a soldier become discouraged and
worried because probably he has
learned that all is not well with his
family, then he not only loses his
spirit for fighting, but becomes a
great danger to those fighting
around him.
1t is just this which the home SER
vice hopes to prevent. By assuring
the soldier that we viii be near to
keep his family at all times, he can
go forth to war enabled to soldier
to the best of his ability.
The Home Service is a service Of
friendly interest; and no problem,
however small or however difficult,
shall fail to receive its sympathetic
attention.
The Covington chapter of the Amer
lean Red Cross has provided a place
where information for families of
men in the service can be obtained.
Its offices will be located on the sec
ond floor of the Supply Company
near the offices Of Owen &
Bringle. lawyers, which office has
been donated by the Covington Sup
ply Go.
The Home Service is glad to be of |
service to you in any way, and we
,tand ready to help Or advise you in
my matter which may be troubling |
you because of the absence of a man
rom our family.
Very truly yours,
WE. BRINGLE, Chairman.
SARAH OWEN, Secretary.

WRONG IMPRESSION ON
GOVERNMENT FLOUR RULE

Because of a recent publication in
the Commercial Appeal stating that
Mr.. Hoover hoped to abardon the
flour substitute plan in the near fu-
ture, the impression has gone out
that it is now lawful for merchants
to sell flour without selling an
equal amount of substitutes. This is
not true. No such riding has yet
been made, and any merchant who
sells flour without selling an equal
amount Of substitutes, demanding
meal tickets or demanding certifi-
Gates that consumers have at home IS
violating the law.
