Declares Packing Firms
 Dominate Meat Industry
(Continued from Page One.)

(Continued from Page One)
 With all interests involved, and under the circumstances which sur round the business it would be difn- cult for them to do otherwise than to work in unison and it is scarcely necessary, 1t seems to me, to attempt to prove that the packers agents meet daily. or weekly, or monthly to determine prices. It is only necessary to point out that their common in terest would naturally tend to make them act in a common manner"
 There is no class of the popula- ton that is not vitally interested in proper governmental control of the meat packing industry because it has grown to such proportions that 1t may now be termed the nations food industry. It is of tremendous na- tional importance, therefore, that Congress should establish some sort of control.
 The bill which I have introduced Is intended to secure this end with the least possible disturba nee to any interest. It aims merely to apply to this industry the principles which Have Debn applleu NO every Opner DOS- mess engaged in interstate commerce. We do not ask that the government take over the packing houses, nor even that it should operate the stock yards. We ask only that the packers shall no longer be permitted to own and control both the producing and the distributing markets. To this end my bill makes provision that will compel the packers to dispose of their ownership of the stock yards, just as 8 few years ago congress com pelled the railroads to surrender the ownership of coal mines. It further provides that refrigerator cars shall be subject to the Interstate Commerce Act in the same manner that all other cars and telephone facilities are sub. ject to It.
 Finally the bill provides for c. Hi- censing system for meat packers, fol commission men and for stock yard owners so that the government may keep it's fingers on the pulse of the industry"

FLUCTUhTE TIE
 DOLLAR WTH
 INDEX NUMBER
This Would Fix Old General High Prices, Prof. Fisher
 Tells c. of c.

Prof. Irving Fisher, of Yale univer- sity, presented to the Chamber of Commerce, at the Chamber luncheon, today, at the Stratfield, his plan for stabilizing the American dollar.
 Prof. Fisher thinks that fiuctuating gold values are cause of high prices. His remedy is of the simplest. He would substitute for the 25.8 grains of gold in a standard dollar, @ quan- tity which would vary with prices. If commodity prices rose one per cent, gHhe weight of gold in the dollar would increase accordingly; or decrease. The dollar wouGG in this way, as he thinks, be always an expression of a true re- lation between gold and the average commodity price, expressed through the device of the index number.
 This panacea for what ai-J con- modities was stated with great clear ness and much eloquence, by Prof Fisher.

The formal celebration f the event took place here last autumn, but due to war conditions the pope was un- able to send anyone at that time.
 Later in the day Cardinal Gibbons entertained Monslgnor Cerretti at dinner, which was attended by local Catholic church dignitaries.
 Archbishop Cerretti, who arrived in Baltimore last evening, planned to go to Washington this afternoon.

NEWSPAPER ANNUAL
 FULL0F INFORMATION

The fifty first year of continual pub licaioR brings the 1919 edition of the American Newspaper Annual and Di- rectory. It was first issued in 1869. and the introductory pages of the 1919 edition contain an interesting review of gthe newspaper industry of fifty years ago.
 The book is full of valuable informa- ton for all who have dealings with periodical publications of any kind. The facts and figures descriptive of each of the 2S.074 publications listed are pre- sented in a most complete, yet con densed and get-at-able form.
 As always, special attention has been given 10 the important matter of circu- lation figures.
 Supplementary to the general cata- logue are 254 classified lists, including dailies magazines, women's. mail or der, religious, agricultural. and all the various trade and class publications, covering almost every field of human effort and interest, each class listed under its own head.
 The care expended on keeping this section abreast of the times is indi- cated by some of it's lists: Aeronautics. Boy Scouts, Moving Pictures, Espe- | lditOs Safety dihiiiS " III dow Dressing, Anti-Tuberculosis. Woman Suffrage, anti Suffrage, a list of journals in raised type for the blind etc. The foreign language lists, rang ing from Albanian to Yiddish, are un- der 37 different heads.
 An especially valuable feature is a ! vast amount of up-to-date gazetteer information, giving the latest popula- l tion figures, including those of ten states which had censuses in 1915. and the transportation, banking and other facilities in each of the H. ,1S9 towns in which newspapers are published. to- sether with the leading industries. pro- ductions and other features of the place and vicinity. This descriptive matter is supplemented by a specially prepared map of each state, showing practically every newspaper town. Con- venience and conciseness have beer studied throughout, and the book places at the disposal of publishers. ol advertisers, of business men, of stu dents, librarians, etc, a vast amount oi fresh information not to be procured elsewhere.
 No advertising is carried in the An nual and Directory. It is issued fol the single purpose of giving as ful { and accurate information as possible in it's special field. The Annual ant Directory is now the only publication of it's kind which is compiled from in formation gathered with such thor oughness each year from origina cources. MT. George P. Powell va the first to compile such a work, ant for many years he issued the Ameri can Newspaper Directory. Followin; his death, the Directory, with its rec ords. copyrights, and property was sol' to N. w. Aver & Son, who combine, it with their well-known American Newspaper Annual.

necessary for boy to be sent to pris-
 on in order to learn a trade? If the
 schools provided trade training for those who wished to acquire it, would there be so many youths before our courts who have resorted to crime as the easiest means of getting money Would we have so many holdups, flat robberies and cases of theft and graft ing by young loafers who have no other obvious means of getting money?
 The question is not easy to answer, because in so many of these cases the want of money is complicated with vi- cions appetites and atrophy of the moral sense. There is no specific for moral regeneration, except the grace of God, which inspires a man with the will to do right instead of wrong. But at the same time there are a great many drifters among young fellows just out of school, boys who, if they had a job waiting and beckoning for

them-as the trained trade worker has in this country-would take it as the easiest way to get money in their pockets. If they had not much char acter when they began regular hours strengthen it by reducing greatly the hours of temptation. Men most con versnt with the criminal record insist that a good many of the young crim inals come from these drifters, boys who are neither bad nor good, but who fall under evil influences instead of going directly to work
 If, by extending our trade training courses, we could save the cost of ar resting, trying, jailing and keeping even a few of these youth, the reduc- tion of court and prison expenses would pay the cost of the increased trade training, to say nothing of the advan- tage of setting those young fellows to pulling on the community load instead of being dragged as dead weight in the wagon. You can't make millennium with a plane and a handsaw, but the chance of increasing it's population by inceasing themastery of those imple- ments seems good enough to justify a considerable experiment in that di- rectiOn.

BROOKLYN JUDGE HAS [ TRADE-TEACHING WAY
Brooklyn Eagle)

Judge Veeder did an eminently sen sible thing the other day, when he sent an offender 19 years old to the fed eral prison at Atlanta, so that he might learn a trade and fit himself to earn an honest living instead of a criminal one.
 This particular youth seems to need moral regeneration as well as a trade, but confinement for year with phys ical labor makes a pretty good back ground for moral regeneration, at least it is many times more hopeful than the liberty of the streets, in the en- joyment of which this boy fell into vicious courses. But thee ase raises a much wider question than that per sonal to the prisoner. Ought it to be

SHORTAGE OF ENGINEERS

engineers in engineering lines.
This applies not only to road work,
but to all lines Of engineering work.
II the requisite pay is offered. and in
many cases the pay to the non-engi-
neering official is sufficient to induce
an engineer to accept the RESPONSE
bility, then the necessity for short
courses to men without previous en-.
gineering training is an absolute
fallacy.
Tests In Technical Hands.
If one is to experiment upon the SUI
pervision of their engineering prob
lens. is it not well to place the. tests
in the hands Of those trained tech
nically along engineering lines? The
short courses" could be assimilated
while the preliminary and location of
a project was being made. and as to
estimating and the calculation of
quantities, surely an engineer would
hardly require further study or prepa-
ration to handle.
In conclusion, is it not reasonable to
say, as whole, the engineer is better
qualified to handle road work than
one without engineering training?
Then, why not place the engineer in
charge Of the official positions in road
work? This being done, one will soon
see available many men willing to go
into the road game"
