Meat Ration to Have Variety.

In view Of The Reformer's editorial
mention of the prospect for a venison
diet for the Stowell family this winter.
it may not be too trivial to note that
the Stowells sold four of their six deer.
They recently butehered a hog which
dressed neaBly $50 pounds. and will soon
slaughter a beef, thus. obtaining some va
riety in the meat ration. Owing to low
price of cattle and hogs an unusually
large number are bcirE slaughtered for
home consumption.

he disappeared in the distance before

POCKET VETO VOIDED
UNDER RULING GIVEN
Attorney General Holds Bills May
Be Signed Within 10 Days
After Congress Quits.

Washington. = An informal ruling
sweeping away what has been known
for nearly a century as the pocket
veto," has been delivered to the Presi-
dent by Attorney General Palmer. In
effect, it states that the President has
constitutional power to sign bills pass
ed by Congress within the period of
ten days after Congress formally adj
journed
Announcement of the informal ruling
was made at the White House, where
it was said that an official written
opinion was expected shortly.
No comment as to what President
Wilson intends to do with the various
measures that have been considered
killed with expiration of the session
of Congress was forthcoming.
The details of the ruling were not
made public Attorney General Palmer
was not at the Department of Justice
and 1t was stated at his office that any
communication to the President would
have to be given out at the White
House. The announcement immediate
whether all measures not approved
within the ten days would automatical-
ly become laws on the statute books,
as they do while Congress is in ses-
sion.
When the White House called upon
the attorney general for an informal
ruling on theNquestion of signing bills
after Congress had concluded it's ses-
sion, Attorney General Palmer at once
had the opinion worked up in the de-
partment 1t was then transmitted to
the White House, where the first in
formation was made public. 1t was
not stated at the Department of JUS
tice whether the formal opinion would
necessarily follow the same lines as the
ruling made informally or not.
Genuine surprise was expressed by
members of Congress upon learning OF
the attorney generals decision.
Under the attorney generals ruling
bills would become law within ten days
whether the President signs them or
not. If he desired to veto measure
his message would have to await ac-
ton at the next regular session of
Congress, which will not convene until
the first Monday in December.
Eleven bills and joint resolutions of
the recent session of Congress were NOT
signed when it adjourned.

PREDICT PRIORITY
ORDERS FOR COAL
Declare Factories viii Be With
out Fuel Unless Present Sit
uation Is Remedied.
RAILROAD MEN FEAR STEP.
Coal Operators Bring Great Pressure
to Bear Upon Interstate Commerce
Commission and Railroad Asso-
ciation-May Help Farmers.

New York.-Although there is great
majority of business men to see either
priority or preference orders put into
effect on railroad shipments, it is fear
ed in transportation circles that by
next month, at latest, such step will
be taken as to coal at least. Great
pressure is being brought to bear by
coal men upon the Interstate Com
merce Commission and the American
Railroad Association, who declare that
manufacturing establishments will be
without fuel, more or less, next winter
and that widespread suffering is
threatened by existing conditions.
The coal interests even go so far as
to insist that fuel needs cannot wait
much longer even in the face of the
freight jam that followed the spring
strike and winters storms and the
pressing need of returning to lines
home cars that have been away from
their own rails since the early days of
the world war. In short, they empha-
remain in which coal can be produced
for storage, and unless there is a
sizable supply ahead, rail facilities will
be grossly inadequate to care for the
demand when cold weather begins in
earnest.
The food producers, too, have been
exerting themselves in similar fashion
and even the spokesman for the West
ern roads who appeared before the COM
mission in the matter of rates submit
ted estimates that 150,000,000 bushels
of grain were in farmers hands, large
ly because the railroads could not han
die it. Indeed, members of the COM
mission inevitably have begun to look
forward pathetically to next winter as
a record period for cold and hunger.
All the efforts that are being made
by the commission in the direction of
consolidating freight and moving solid
trains does not appeal to the coal men,
whose merchandise has always been
purveyed by itself. Accordingly they
are strong for the preferential law.
Some of the coal men have an idea
that preference orders will be tried
first rather than priority or zoning di-
rections.-
There is just one angle of the di-
lemma that heartens all concerned.
The public's disposition to balk at high
prices, which has already closed many
factories, will reach such point as to
drive back to the railroads, farms ana
elsewhere tens of thousands of en-
ployees who have temporarily been d.
verted by the lure of high wages with
relatively light labor. The liberal
wages that have been pad for three
years or more have served as a bull
wark for a large share Of the railroad
strikes, the past three months, With
out which the struggle could never
have been as long continued.
