Licensing Dye Imports
lFrom the Ne York Tribonel.

No reason can be advanced for The

The facts in the main are clear TO
the public In the pre-war period the
German chemcal companies, under the
patronage Of the German government,

The mere imposition Of protective

our chemists must be encouraged 10

ing at the same time always brings
1t problems to secure the necessary

the shortage this year is the fact
that many men and women who in
other years went into the fields and
orchards are this year working in
the canning factories and packing
establishments which have sprung
up to help in the preserving of the
fruits. In most cases four dollars

at this price every available worker
