Yankee Firms Taking
Huge, Orders From

LONDON.-"American companies
are jubilant at the steel orders they
have just taken in England"
This was the statement made by
A. ]. Hobson, president of the British
Associated Chambers of Commerce,
at meeting of the British CONNER
cial Gas Association, held recently in
Sheffield.
Mr.. Hobson has just returned from
America and he took the opportin-
ity of the association meeting to
warn his fellow-countrymen of the
menace of American competition.
"The American manufacturers are
breaking into quite a few trades in
this country" added Hobson. For
the first time they have taken large
orders for colliery winding ropes for
English pits. This has been brought
about by the action of the miners in
demanding q price for coal which
made it impossible to make these
ropes in England.
mot only was the gas industry be-
ing lifted to an abnormal level of
price for the same reason, but so
were other British industries and the
result was going to be very detri-
mental to the commerce of the ma
tion," continued the speaker.
up to now the price of coal has
not much mattered to the steel in

Idaho Falls Stung
BY Street Peddlers
Blackfoot Protected

The following story from Idaho
Falls tells of sound SHINING which
the citizens of that place received
at the hands of peddlers auctioning
off merchandise on the streets. The
purchasers found after little inves-
tigation that much better merchan-
disc at lower costs could be purch-
ased from their local dealers, which
is generally the case.
Idaho Falls merchants are indig-
nant. A vender of a cheap grade Of
suiting material sold at auction, on
the streets last week, many dollars
worth of goods for cash. Goods that
could be duplicated by home mer-
chants for less money, and the street
vender pays no taxes, contributes to
no cummity needs, is here today and
gone tomorrow. The fact that home
merchants give employment to many,
are here the year through and are
ready to make good any statement
they make, did not seem to be con-
sidered.
The matter is to be taken before
the city council at the next meeting

high enough on this character of
merchandise that the vender will con-
tribute something, in the way Of
taxes, at least-Times Register.
Blackfoot people should appreciate
the fact that the present city coun-
Gil enacted law recently aimed at
just such an occasion. BY placing the
license at $3.50 a month and demand
ing that a full months privilege be
bought these same peddlers were un-
able to operate in Blackfoot. They
applied at the City Hall for license
and when told of the conditions pro-
tested vigorously but were denied.
The peddlers refused to comply with
the ordinance and Chief White saw
to it that they did not violate it.
