SIX BILLION BILL
House Accepts Proposal
Putting District in the
Bone-Dry Class.

The Senate and House conferees on
the 5000 OOe,e 600 revenue bill reached
an agreement yesterday. The bill. in
its final accepted form, was sent to
the printer and will be called up in
the House next Friday morning.
The terms of the agreement were
ordered withheld from publication
until the revised copy of the bill is
ready for presentation to the House.
This order was made because the
conferees feared pressure might he
brought to bear to alter some of the
provisions.

the House Conferees took the mat

to how they should
vote upon it. The House accepted
it with an amendment to restrict

it was unacceptab BILE to the Senate
and the conferees accordingly with

The Trammel amendment to nav

10000 Granted Demands.
Providence r. L, Feb. More than
7O,O00 textile workers in cities in
Southern Massachusetts and Rhode
Island had been granted their de-
mand for a 4S-hour week tonight.
In New Bedford, where 10000 work =
ers are employed, and in Fail River,
where there are approximately the
same number. the shorter week will
be put into effect Monday. The Amer
lean Woolen Company, with mills in
this State and Massachusetts. an
nounced today that it was willing to
put the 4S-hour week into effect in any
or all its mills IL the employees desire
it. The operatives here. in New Eng
land and Fall River did not make any
wage demands in asking for the As
hour week.
Mill owners with plants in the
Blackstone Valley had refused to
grant the shorter week up to tonight,
but there is reason to believe that
this will be done either tomorrow or
early in the week. 1t was practically
certain tonight that the Rhode Island
manufacturers will follow the action
of the New Bedford owners in grant
ing the demand for shorter hours.
The Hansahoe Silk Company and
the Penna Textile CoDaDanN both of

ployes that they were ready to put
the 4S-hour week into effect.

XMAS SALES OF
u. S. SECURITIES
WILL BE HEAVY
Government Asks Everyone to
Give War Savings
Stamps as Gifts

Sales of War Savings Stamps and
Treasury Savings Certificates to the
banks of the Twelfth Federal Reserve
District, in anticipation of heavy hol
iday demand of these securities for
Christmas presents, are greater than
for any period during 1919, according
to reports of the San Francisco Federal
Reserve Bank. AS early as November
20 the bank reported shipment on
Savings Certificates, to eighteen banks
Of the district. This was the largest
amount of these securities shipped on
any one day up to that date since The
close of the war
Conservative estimates predict that
the demands of banks alone throughout
the district will reach the quarter of
million dollar mark for the holiday
trade in War Savings Stamps and
Treasury Savings Certificates. This is
not taking into consideration tremel-
dous demands looked for from the post
offices.
The Government is making an in.

| Twelfth Federal Reserve District to
give War Savings Stamps and Treas

! presents, not only because America
needs every cent she can get to finance
her war debt of twenty-six billions of
dollars, but also to stabilize prices as
much as possible by cutting down the
demand for Injuries. Most Christmas
presents fall under the head of lux
uries.
In a letter to the banks of the
Twelfth Federal Reserve District on
the subject, Governor John U. Calkins
of the San Francisco Federal Reserve
Bank said:
THE Christmas holidays are almost
upon US. Everything points to ire
mendous outlay of money in the pur-
chase of holiday gifts. the greater por-
ton of, which l think l am safe in
saying will be luXuries. The present
situation demands not that more
money be spent in the purchase of lux
uries, but that we curtail as much as
possible, with the consequent bench
cial contraction of credit.
Therefore, appeal to you as fel
low banker to do everything within
your power to stimulate the purchase
and giving of War Savings Stamps and
Treasury Savings Certificates as Christ
mas presents in place of the usua
needless end expensive gifts. 1t seems
to me that the responsibility of lead
ing mems minds along the ways o.
thrift and simple living rests to grea
extent upon the bankers Of the country
and in asking you to push the sale'
of Treasury securities during thu
Christmas holidays, am asking you
only to take advantage Of an oppor
tunity to meet this responsibility"
In addition, Christmas posters car
rying an appeal to give War Saving
Stamps and Treasury Savings Certifi
Gates for Christmas presents will b.
distributed throughout the Twelfth
Federal Reserve District, and all bank
have been asked to include simila
appeal in their advertising.

ImpressionabIe Fowls,

Sunshine seems to play an impsr
tant part in the lives of fowls. There
IS no doubt that they lay much more
regularly, and appear generally hap
pier when in the sunlight. The next
best thing to sunshine in this dull old
country is light which gives to the
fowls the impression that the sun is
shining.
Fortunately the fowl is easily de-
ceived, with the result that a great
deal Of success has attended the ex-
periments of a well-knOwn engineer
who is building lighthouses with a
material similar to canvas, stained and
vanished SO that the house is always
lighted in the daytime with light of a
pleasant golden color. By means of
electric light placed outside, the fowls
can easily be made to think the sun
Is always shining; and so successful
nave been the results that a farm Is
being established on these lines.
