HIGH PRICE FIGHT
ENTERS NEW PHASE
GOVERNMENT TO CURB RlS-
ING COST OF CLOTHING.
Conference of Interests Concerned in
the Production and Sale of Veal
ing Apparel Called to Meet
in January.

Washington.-StepS to check the
rising price of clothing will be dis
cussed at conference here early in
January of persons interested in the
production of wearing apparel, from
the producer of raw materials to the
consumer of the finished product.
The calling of the conference was
announced on Decembez, 10 by Assist
ant Attorney General Figg, who said
tlat, in addition to affecting econ
onies in operation, it was planned to
provide for the production of standard
quality cloth and garments for sale at
a reasonable price as an inducement
| tC the public TO check extravaganza
in purchasing.
Suggestions for the conference came
fmm producers of wearing apparel,
and committee of seventeen is being
chosen, the personnel of which will
b. announced after the Christmas hol-
itays. The Amalgamated C)ching
Unions will be represented in the con-
ference.
! Mr.. Figg said it was generally
agreed among producers that one es-
sential for reducing the cost of cloth
ing was to have manufacturers de,
vote their plants to necessities, mean
ing the type of clothing purchasable
by the average man.
Some clothing manufacturers were
said to believe that mems suits now
|selling for 500 retail, could be sold al
a profit for $50 if an arrangement
could be worked out between mills
manufacturers and retailers, whereof.
a certain percentage of business coult
be devoted to goods of standard quail
ity to be turned out in quantity.
"There is no intention to design ;
uniform for the public" Mr.. Fig
said, land the standard goods undo
; consideration would be standard il
quality rather than in pattern

OPERATORS OBJECT TO PLAN.
Deny They are Bound to Accept Gov
ernment's Scheme for Settlement.

Washington. Coal operators
throughout the United States, through
their executive committee, have eX-
planned their reasons for refusing to
participate in the governments plan
for settling the bituminouS coal strike.
Renewing the denials that previous
agreements had bound them to accept
the governments plan, the operators
asserted that while they We're bound
by and had agreed to accept strike set
tlen ant proposals made by DR.. Gar
fel !, former fuel administrator.
the government proposals as accepted
by the miners differ vitality from those
of the Garfield plan.
The inSiStence of the operators on
the stand left open the possibility it
was held that the commission named

The premier began by remarkine

He characterized the attempt on
Viscount French. the lord lieutenant
of Ireland, as one of the most coward
~ and foolish incidents in the history
of political crime. He was glad the
chiefs of the Catholic church had has
tened to denounce 1t.
Reviewing the position of Irish ar
fairs he said that nobody In Ireland
wanted the act of 1916. In the exist
ing circumstances no possible scheme
for Irish home rule was universally
acceptable and parliament must as
sumo the responsibility and propose
what ii thought fair and just.
A settlement would be found. not in
the enactment but in the working Of
a home rule scheme. He admitted that
plenty of mistakes had been made on
both sides, there were also follies and
crimes.
But" he added, I'VE want that
chapter closed-nOt to ask who Is to

PACKING INDUSTRY

All Interests Save Those Directly A.

promise With Government.

Washington. The governments !
antitrust suit against the great meat
packers, begun at President Wilson's |
direction last summer as part of the
fight on the high cost of living, has
been compromised under an agree
ment by which the packers will con
fine themselves hereafter to the meat
and provision business.
An injunction decree to which the
packers have acceeded, will be entered
in the federal courts to make the
agreement binding. Under its terms
the big five--Swift, Armour, Morris,
Wilson and Cudahy-have agreed to
divorce their meat packing industries
from other commercial activities and
to sell their holdings in public stock
yards and their interests in stockyard
railroads, terminals, market newspap-
ers and similar "side lines
Two years are given to comply with
the decree, which affects eighty-seven
corporations and forty-nine individ-
uals.

Palmer's official announcement, this
decree prevents the defendants from
exercising any further control over the
marketing of livestock. 1t forever
prevents them from any control over

II, eliminates them from the field of
meat substitutes, with the exception of
eggs. butter, poultry and cheese, which
are left for future consideration and
action; and hence, the price of meat
is within the control of the people

these aggregations of capital immedi
