SHIFT BACK TO APRIL IS
FOR OPENING CONSIDERED

CHICAGO. January 3o.-There may be
another change in the American League
schedule for the season of 1913 before
it is adopted. President B. B. Johnson of
the league today said he might
change things again and have all
American League clubs begin the sea-
son April I6, instead of allowing the
four eastern teams to start one day
earlier than the western.
1t was the intention of the schedule
committee to withhold for the present
the fact that the eastern teams were to
begin playing ball April Is. instead of
one day later, and the publicity given
the change has annoyed Mr. Johnson,
according to his own statement.

upon by Secretary Wilson. 1t will be the
first move In plan to establish a broad
national labor policy for the United
States during the war.
The plan includes a joint hoard of
capital and labor leaders. and the Gre
alton of seven new labor department
bureaus, the bureaus calling for scores
of new clerks. The steps were recon-
mended by the special advisory council
named by Secretary Wilson.
Taking up first the most difficult task
confronting him. that of bringing capi-
tai and labor together in an arrange
| ment to end strikes. Secretary Wilson
will call on both sides Immediately to
form joint board to meet in Washing
ton to agree on general principles to
govern their relations during the war.
Each side will be asked to name five
| representatives, who, in turn, Will Sc
| lect one person each representing the
general public making a board of
twelve members.

The war labor administration will be
centered in the reorganized and en-
larged Labor Department. Secretary

tions of other government departments,
although they will continue their ac-
| tiyities as at present. will be central
| ICED under his control.
! The most important of the new bu-
reaus will be an adjustment bureau,
which will deal with Industrial dis
putes.
The other will be designated: condi-
tions Of labor: information and educa-
| ton; woman in industry: training and
| dilution; housing and transportation,
and personnel.
officials who have studied the war
labor situation expressed the opinion
| that the labor problem at last is in a
| fair way of solution. By having en-
pioyers and employees agree on the gem
eral principles of their relations 1t is
arise before they develop into strikes.
Started After Strikes Began.
Heretofore the policy has been to
take up the situation and attempt a
settlement after the strikes are immi-
nent or actually have occurred.
| Congress will be asked for an appro-
lpriation to get the new administration
started. The employment service al
ready has million dollars. placed az
its disposal by the President from his
general emergency fund, but the other
bureaus Will need considerable funds
to carry on their work.
| To obtain the use of the facilities
of the industrial service sections of
other departments Secretary wilson
will call a conference of the Secre-
taries of War and Navy ana the chair
man of the shipping board to obtain
from them the necessary suthortty to
make the services a part of the war

Turns at Cutting Prices.
Sold to Consumer for Less
Than Cost of Production.
NOT REGULATED BY HOOVER?
Texan Tells of Cut Price TrOu-

Sells in st. Louis for Less Than
Offered in Fort Worth.

Washington, Jan. 29.-Charles H
May, manager sof the Farmers Co
operative association and independent
and cooperative packing plants OF
Madison, Wis, testified today at the
federal trade commissions hearing
that the five big packers took turns
in cutting prices of beef and pork in
the cooperative association territory
so that the latter'S sales were reduced
greatly. He said he knew from years
the packers prices were below the
cost of production.
This happened some years ago?"
asked Francis ]. Heney. the commits
sion's counsel.
1T happened this year also. three
weeks ago." May replied.
How is that? Aren't they being
regulated by the food administration. u
Il have not seen it," replied May.
Since the commissions investiga ton
began, May testified, it has been i'm
possible to obtain invoices of sales by
the big packers, altho butchers read
lily gave them before. The commits
sion obtained a number by peremp-
the grades now were being omitted
from invoices.
Covered Their Tracks.
Attorney Heney brought out that with
the announced intention of showing
that the packers took steps to cover
up" their alleged efforts to stifle COM
petition by making it difficult to COM
pare prices with those of the inde-
pendents.
E. c. Lasater of Falfurrias, Texas,
testified as to the difficulties in mar
keting livestock which the. livestock
men long have contended show an un-
derstanding between the big packers
to keep prices low. Mr. Lasater said
he sent a shipment of cattle to Fort
Worth and received only one bid, from
the Armour buyers. He decided to
send the cattle to ST Louis, and re-
ceived only one bid there from the
same firm. The cattle were sold to
Armour there for less than had been
offered in Fort Worth. He said he
had no doubt that the Fort Worth
buyer telegraphed ahead.
Mr. Lasater declared that wiring
ahead such information was a COM
mon practice with the packers
