nounced But Are Expected To.

st. Louis. May 1e.--Delegates from
thrueut the United States and Canada
met here today in the fifteenth bien-
NAL convention of the boot and shoe
workers union for the announced pur-
pose of devising methods to strengthen
the organization and protect the wage
scales of their craft. Approximately
fifty thousand workers were repre-
scented, it was said.
Emphasizing there has been no gen.
eral request by employers for wage
reductions in the large shoe manu-
featuring districts of the east and
middle west, delegates Explained some
individual employers have sought to
lower the standards and, it was added,
there have been rumors Of concerted
action in this direction. Particular
stress was laid on the need for a
strengthening union to promote the
welfare of its members, in the joint
report of Coils Lovely, general presi-
dent, and C. L. Baine, general secre-
tary-treasurer, both of Boston.
Calling attention to the wage re-
auctions in certain lines the reports
stated: Your general officials have
taken the position that up to the pres
ent time there has been no justifica-
ton for reduction in wages of shoe
workers"

Wants Tariff on Eggs.
+ Kerrigan, who is secretary of the
chamber OF commerce of Petaluma.
Cal, the chicken center of the United
States, is touring the country in an
effort to crystalline sentiment for a
protective tariff on eggs. He said
that hundreds Of poultry men have al
ready been forced out of business.
That the hen is the real American
Bird is evident from the fact that
poultry is raised on 81 per cent of our
farms and that three million persons
are directly dependent on the indus
try he said in an interview today.
Importation of cheap foreign
eggs, especially from China, Australia.
and Argentina has reached the stage,
however, where American poultry
raisers will be completely put out of
business within two years unless some
remedial action is taken.
Appeal to Congress.
FARMERS association, cnamDerS OF
commerce and similar organizations
thruout the country under leadership
Of the American Poultry association,
will ask congress when hearings are
opened on the permanent tariff bill, to
place a high enough duty on foreign
