PRICE CUT SPURS ALL
BUSINESS TO ACTION

CHICAGO, Nov l9.--(U. Pre-
duction In prices has increased com
petition SO fast that only the flttest
will survive. James simpson, vice pres
ident OF Marshall Field & Company
today told the United Press. Every
progressive businesses Is being stripped
for action he said. Every ounce of
ability, efficiency and resource will be
put to the test"
Simpson attributed the price read
justment to the 'fmmuable law OF sup
ply and demand"
production OF merchandise was
curtailed during the war to make a
place for the necessities OF war. II re-
quired the two intervening years since
the armistice to catch up with the de-
mand and in the very nature OF things
during that time prices of great
many commodities have been on a
mad debaueh. When production in
creased to the point whore II supplied
the demand the inevitable happened
a sudden drop in the price OF nearly
every commodity. In fact, the world
has witnessed during the last so days
a very disorderly collapse in the value
OF commodities to such an extreme
that retail distributors began to un-
load their stocks at a great sacrifice
and stopped placing orders for their
current wants and for the spring of
l92O-2l."
Simpson said that lack of orders Is
causing the closing down Of many
manufacturing plants and throwing
many out of employment According
20 Simpson, II orders are not soon
placed, there will be a scarcity OF
goods In the spring which win mean
enhanced prices.

NEW SIX MILES AN
HOUR RULE WILL Be
FIRST GIVEN TRIAL
o-W. R. & N. Officials Seek to
Eliminate Danger by Slower
Speed by Trains at Cross
ings Within City Limits.

In behalf Of the o. w r. & y. Co. F.
n. Finch. assistant general manager,
and William Bollons. division superin-
tendent. have requested that Pend!e-
ton give time for trial Of a new six
miles an hour rule at crossings before
insisting upon the use Of flagmen at
crossings within the city. Mr.. Finch
explained that the new rule requiring
a six miles an hour speed at crossings
has Just been made and will be en-
forced by the company with a view to
further safeguarding against accidents.
In the past a speed Of Il miles an
hour has been allowed.
Discussing the whole subject with
ia Co numerical Association committee
yesterday the railroad officials pointed
out some of the difficulties they find
in protecting crossings. They dislike
to use flagmen because they feel three
shifts would be needed. with conse-
quent increased expenses. Further
more, Mr.. Bollons asserted that flag
man used at La Grande, in the termi-
nal yards. has much difficulty con-
trolling traffic. Often his warnings
are not needed and the flagman has
trouble to keep from being run over
by eager drivers.
Mr.. Finch discussed the matter of
using a flagman at the Main street
crossing during the hours of heaviest
school traffic but preferred that the
new six miles an hour rule be first
given a trial The committee, of
