HOSPITAL SIDE ISSUE
Santa Fe Union Men Are Discussing
Pay and Working Conditions.

Consideration of a plan for the
withdrawal of various local unions
from the Santa Fe Hospital associa-
ton is not the prime purpose of the
joint meeting of the executive COM
mittees of the Brotherhood of Railway
Trainmen and the Order of Railroad
Conductors. This withdrawal action,
if it is considered, will be side issue.
The committees are meeting to con-
slider the application of Supplement 16
issued by Director General Hines,
which has to do with the working con-
ditions and rates of pay for trainmert
and yardmen.
1t was pointed out that the joint
committee has not the power to with
draw the unions from the hospital as
sociatioh. The matter is entirely in
the hands of the individual members
of the unions.
The matter of the hospital was
taken up last July when the unions
presented a demand to the railway
company that the board of trustees of
the hospital association be expanded
to include one representative from
each shop craft. The company came
back with the proposal that the board
of trustees consist of four men-two
to be named by the company, two to
be named by the unions. No definite
answer has been made to the COM
| pany's proposal at this time.

Federal Trade Brings More
Charges Against Packers.
Repeats Domination of Whole
sale Grocery Trade Menaced.
INCLUDES MANY COMMODITIES
Even Handle Goods in COmpe-
titiOn With Meats.
Packers Silent Partners in
Many Enterprises, Charge.

Washington, Oct. 16.-Reiteration
Of the claim that the five big packing
companies OF Chicago bid fair to dom
mate the wholesale grocery trade and
already handle more than 200 foods
unrelated to the meat packing indus
try, many of them directly competi-
tive as meat substitutes, is made in
part " of the Federal Trade commits

today.
THE extent to which the packer
should be permitted to enter unre-
lated food lines, (even assuming legiti-
mate competitive methodist" the re-
port said. lis a matter which the pub
lie interest alone should determine"
Two Questions Involved.
Two questions, primarily economic,
are involved:
SDoes this widening of activity re-
suit in additional economies of pro-
duction and distribution?
Does it result. and will 1t continue
to result, to the public in lower prices
and better quality OF product and
service?
"a third question not here discussed
relates to the ultimate effect of such
vast and powerful organizations on the
political and social fabric of American
institutions"
Included in the list of commodities
said TO be falling under control of the
big five" are poultry and game. dairy
products, lard and butter substitutes,
canned and dried vegetables and fruit
canned, cured and frozen fish, cocoa
coffee. molasses- and cane. corn and
maple syrups. In addition. Armour
& Co, one of the five, is said to be
handling extensively soda fountain
preparations and utensils.
The extent of packer control varies
with the locality and commodity and
the dealer whose business is being alb
sorbed, the report states.
Maze of Secrecy.
Owing to the maze OF secrecy in
the packers method of conducting
much OF his business" it adds, exact
statistics on many of these commodi-
ties are not available for the country
as a whole, which will show just how
far the packers control has reached.
MANY companies manufacturing or
handling these commodities are con-
trolled by packer interest, no hint of
which is disclosed by the names under
which they operate and even a thoro-

about $50 miles west of Archangel.
Further on to the south it has forced
