PASS BUCK TO VALERA.
Canadian Irish Will Let Him De-
eide on Coming There.

pPcStot DeePotOfs ~ mn oUNs
MONTREAL, July 2s.-Irish patriots OF
Montreal are not unanimous on Just
what should be done toward Eamon De
Valera. Consequently they have decided
to leave It to himself and his advisers
as to what he shall do about coming to
Canada. The Minister of Justice, Hon.
c. J. Doherty, is an Irish Canadian. but
the sons Of Erin are afraid he might
have more regard for the majesty OF the
law than for the sacred person of the
head OF the Sim Fem. Consequently
they will take no chances OF being the
unwilling instruments Of having De
Valera taken into custody, to be handed
over to the British authorities. No OBJ
lection Is likely to be taken to that de-
clsion either at Ottawa or London.
However. 1t II unofficially announced
from Ottawa that II De Valera crosses
the border he will be arrested.

Great Buying Power.

Az TO their great buying power and
control Of market prices by the Big Five
the report further says:
"As they buy most Of the animals
slaughtered at the twelve great markets
their ability to determine from day to
day the general level of live stock prices
Is incontrovertibls. That they do deter
mine 1t is generally recognised by live
stock producers and commission men.
and this Ia confirmed by correspondence
from their files. The big packers through
their centralized buying system deter
mine the general level Of prices each
day at Chicago before the market has
opened, and send out the orders to their
buyers at the different markets as to the
prices to be paid. The local buyers for
the different packers 60 into the market
at the same time and assume the same
buying attitude"
from the packers flles Indicating collu-
sion among the Big Five In buying, de-
termination of prices and manipulations
Of the markets.
Why and how they dominate in the
manufacture and distribution Of meat
products Is summarized as follows:
"Of the meat trade in the hands of
interstate slaughterers in the United
States the five big packing companies
have more than 10 per cent Of the total.
OF the meat trade OF both interstate and
wholesale local slaughterers they have
more than 81 per cent. of the total"
In addition to the superior advantages
over the independents In the buying Of
live stock the big packers obtain cheaper
credit, buy supplies for less, get better
transportation facilities and services
through their control OF great tonnages
of shipments.
The big packers ownership of refrig-
orator oars-they own 81 per cent. OF all

ment of car route and branch house
systems Is such that the small indepen-

ital stock has gone to the big packers
as stock bonuses or gifts and as stock
dividends.
There has been much complaint on
the part OF producers Of livestock and
livestock commission men as to the in
ferior facilities and services which
these packer controlled stockyards give :
there is also a wide complaint against
the high rates which these stockyards
charge for their services, particularly
the feed charges.
"The big packers have used their nu-
merous stockyards to make large profits
and to Increase their control over the
livestock market and the meat packing
industry as whole.

Although an increase in the number
Of stockyards markets and meat pack

UNITED Press STAFF Correspondent
ROME, Dec. 10 (By MalD Since Ital-
ian women have entered various occu-
patlons formerly closed to them, the
Italian government has undertaken es-
tabllshment Of rules OF work In con-
formity with physical needs Of women.
The operating OF street cars Is one
OF the lines Of work which In Italy,
as In nearly all OF the other Allied
countries, has passed almost exclusive
ly into the hands OF the women. As
this gives Indication Of being a per-
manent employment for them, the Ital-
ian government. through projects OF
every province. has just Issued circu-
lar establishing rules and conditions un-
der which women conductors and mot
orwomen must work.
The minimum age limit is fixed at IS
years for conductors and 90 years for
motorwomen. Both must pass medical
examinations TO establish that they
have the physical strength and quail
ties necessary for the work.
The motOrwOmen are entitled to sit
down at their work wherever cOndi-
tlons permit It, and to this end the
street car companies are required to
furnish each with a stool.

According to Mr.. Madden it Is hard
TO obtain any Information about men
wounded abroad. "The cables are so
full OF accounts OF social activities in
Europe" said he. that IL Is almost inn
possible to get a cable OF inquiry sent
TO France. II Il does reach there no
answer is ever received"
Mr.. Madden said he had been in
formed that not only was II the inten-
ton OF the War Department TO keep a
million and a quarter men in France,
but TO maintain 10 divisions Of combat

10000 men. When he asked the War
Department why this was he could get

that the army which Is to be kept In

say that II Is the intention to police
Russia.

more dangerous piece OF folly would be
attempted than to undertake TO police
a country which Is 1000 miles from
Petrograd TO Vladvostok and 1000 miles

Allies to help them exact indemnity,
Mr.. Green said. IL might be permissible
to keep a small force In Europe As TO

ness OF restoration this work could be
done better by $40 month Chinese
coolies, he protested emphatlcally.
