A new mark for women drivers was set when Mrs
Ralph q. Reed recently drove 6q3 miles in "a hours
and 20 minutes elapsed time. The route lay between
Boston and Syracuse and return and required twice
passing through the congcs,ed traffic districts of
those cities. Mrs, Reed believes that heavy storm
through which she had to drive for hundred miles
prevented her making even better time.

No mechanical adjustments of any nature were

CHICAGO, Nov. 3O.-Statistics
which he said were '-tended to show
that there was a spirit OF -etrench-
ment in the nations industry and the
wages and the cost of living were 60
ing down throughout the country were
presented to Federal Judge Samuel
lsch lsr by L. N. D. Weld, represent
ing the packing companies in the
hearing over the demands of 225,0O0
packing company employees for an
increase of 81 day in their wages
Judge Alschuler heard the case two
months ago, but never rendered a de-
sion, and the hearing was reopened
at the request of the packers, who
maintained that the decrease in the
oEt of living which has come into
being since the previous hearing
should be taken into consideration in
this case, which is the first test be-
tween capital and labor as to whether
or not there should be further wage
now that living costs are de-
creasing."
Detailing the report Mr.. Weld said
that in South Carolina, twenty-four
cotton mills has reduced wages, and
that wage reductions also had been
made by seventeen industries, mostly
motor car plants, in Ohio, ten in In
twenty-five in New Hampshire,
seventeen in Missouri, nineteen in IL
linois, not including packers. The
879 firms on which reports had been
gathered had reduced their working
forces by more than two hundred
thousand in the last ninety days, he
said. Each of the 879 Industries en-
ployed more than one hundred men,
he said.
In Chicago, he said, there had been
an average decrease in the cost of
food of 10 per cent in the last year
and Is per cent in the last ninety
days. Clothing had decreased 28 per
cent in ninety days, according to Mr..
Yields figures.
Kansas City showed clothing and
food reduction of 81 per cent in the
last year and Omaha a reduction Of
26 per cent in ninety days, Mr.. Weld
said.
