Department of Agriculture
in an educational poster be-
ing distributed and posted
by County Agents urges
stockmen to take better care
Of hides. They define a
good hide as being free from
cuts, holes, grubs, decay,
flesh, dirt, dung and blood,
being sound, tight-haired
and firm. In skinning use
the knife sparingly as every
cut cuts the price. To get
high prices clean the hide
before skinning, skin prop
erly and salt thoroughly.
When cured bundle the hide
carefully and ship promptly.
The better the hide the bet

Washington.-Un Unqualified approval
of collective bargaining is included ia
the report Of the public group Of the
recent national industrial conference
The report was made to the president
after the labor and employer groups
had lft the conference.
In its report the public group said:
1--WE believe that the rights of work
ers to organize for the purpose Of col
lectively bargaining with their EN-
ployers, through representatives Of
their own choosing, cannot be denied
or assailed.
"As representatives Of the public we
can interpret this right only in the
sense that wage earners must be free
to choose what organizations or asso-
Citations, Of any, they will join for
this purpose.
In the recognition Of the right of
workers so organized to be represent
ed by representatives of their own
choice, difficulties will from time to
time arise We believe that it would
be possible for a properly constituted
arbitral authority to adjust such diff
culties with justice and fairness to all
parties concerned"

ed to the conference by Secretary Of
