Of the National Retail Dry Goods
Association on record as demanding
a reduction OF freight rates was de-
feated at the concluding session oi

an inopportune time to take action
on freight rate reduction, believing
the railroads should be permitted
more time to rehabilitate themselves.

morning session. were received at the

The improvement In tho leather
Industry has been slow but steady
for several months, Both produe-
tion and consumption Of leather
and It's products have made con-
siderable gains since the first Of
the year. ~and recently have taken
on q new movement toward normal
trade.
For some time the readiusted
prices of the raw materials In the
form of hides were not reflected in
the retail prices OF shoes. harness.

coming more in ratios which held

leather production has gained
steadily in rate Of output while
harness leather has Jagged and is
still below the level of last year.
The latter was far ahead of sole
leather during the early part of last
year. dropping OF In October. 1890.
The interesting feature has been
the revival In the rate Of produc-

since a year ago and patent and
fancy leatnerH nave maze similar
gains. This 10 Interesting because
Of the general shift toward palmer
types Of goods in other lines. The
demand for the finest has been
much restricted as prices have been
slow to decline. Calf skins have
been about the wsskest on the
market
The consumption Of leather goes
on with considerable regularity OF

retail prices In shoes has stimulated
buying to some extent and widened
the field for sales. Many consumers

U. S. COURT ENDS
BASEBALL LITIGATION
(By Associated Press.)

CINCINNATI, Jan. 8-United States
circuit court of appeals yesterday re-
versed the decree of United States dis
trict court at Memphis in the case of
the Little Rock baseball association
and Luther Casey Smith, ball player.
versus john D. Martin, president Of
the Southern baseball league and di-
rected the court below to dismiss the
bill of complaint
The courts order brings to an end
litigation which has been pending ap-
proximately three years. The suit
grew out of the refusal of President
Martin to approve a contract entered
into by the Little Rock club with
Smith under which the player was to
become a member Of the Little Rock
club. Martin is said to have based his
refusal upon the alleged fact that there
was a cloud on Smiths record as a
member of the San Francisco baseball
club, although nothing was proved
against Smith.

(By Associated Press)

CHICAGO, Jan. S.-Baseball mag
mates from all over the country are
arriving for the beginning today of a
series of meetings intended to settle
the many problems confronting the
sport, most important of which Is the
new national agreement.
Today and tomorrow the schedule
committees Of the Major League will
be in session. 1t is expected to ap.
prove season of 154 games, opening
April 10, with due consideration being
given equal division of Sundays and
holidays.
The National Association of Minor
Leagues will meet Monday; the two
major leagues will meet Tuesday, and
there will be joint session Of majors
and minors Wednesday.
Dissatisfaction is said to exist
among minor league leaders with the
proposed national agreement to oper-
ate for twenty-five years. 1t is said
they are unwilling to bind themselves
to pact that extends beyond the term
of Judge Lands as head of baseball,
seven years.
Landis Acceptable.
Judge Lands is acceptable to all of
them, apparently, as the supreme au-
thority of the sports government, but
they are said to be skeptical as to
whether they will be as we'll pleased
with the man who will succeed him.
There are indications that the class

association, the International league.
and the Pacific Coast league desired

May Consider Drafts.
1t is believed in some quarters that
the draft agreement, which was dis
continued during the lifetime of the
old national commission may be
brought up again at the meetings next
week. before new agreement is final
ly realized.
Several of the minor league heads
have declared their willingness to en-
ter the new national agreement is
limited to acceptance of Judge Lands
as arbiter in baseball affairs and they
will never consent to reestablishment
OF their old relations with the maiors
including the draft and other objec-
tionable regulations.
